Eric Ravilious was one of the greatest watercolorists of the 20th century, loved for his paintings of famous English landmarks. While he was a master painter and designer, his another great role was as a war artist. Among the finest and most productive of his generation, he died while on active duty during World War II. 2022 marks the 80th anniversary of his death, which raises the question: What makes a great war artist?

Ravilious's war art is famous for its innocence and purity. Ravilious's soft colors, cartoon-like figures, tranquil tide pools and sky ease the apparent danger and threat on the battle field. Staying true to his style was one of Ravilious's greatest strengths. From his paintings we can see his firm control of the watercolor, his calm expression and attention to detail, showing his extraordinary insight and expression. He did not focus on style, but rather on his attitude and way of expression. He added a strong personal touch to the themes. That is why he is great. He often worked in very dangerous situations: sometimes painting on the deck of a military ship with fighters flying overhead or moving at such speed that his paints might be flying everywhere. One of his friends said, “His war paintings are very much like children's description of war. I saw a lot of paintings by refugee （难民） children and adults in Iraq. They are very similar to Eric Ravilious's paintings. In their respective ways, they all describe war in an innocent and almost naive （幼稚的） manner. In fact，the cruelty of war cannot be understood by everyone because it is inhuman and inhumane. ” He concludes, “Seen in this light, what Eric Ravilious did enables us to look at war with a calm mind. This is truly special. ”

24. What does the underlined word “tranquil” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Pure.

B. Peaceful.

C. Dangerous.

D. Extraordinary.

A. They described war in a similar manner.

B. They could only be understood by children.

C. They were painted in similar shades of color.

D. They helped people to know the cruelty of war.

27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

Kenya's tree planting plan turns out to be of great benefit to both the environment and the Kenyans. Launched in 2016 by Elizabeth Wathuti when she was twenty-one years old, the Green Generation Initiative is a Kenyan charity that has been planting trees to deal with deforestation （滥伐 森林） and climate change in the East African nation.

The initiative's primary focus is on addressing food insecurity in the region through planting fruit trees, as well as developing young climate activists through environmental education in schools. Since its foundation, over 30, 000 trees have been planted in Kenya, while thousands of school children have not just planted trees but also adopted them to ensure that young people learn the importance of acting as a guardian over the health of the environment. The trees have recorded a survival rate of over 98 percent, as they remain tended to from young trees to maturity.

Speaking to world leaders at the recent United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow （COP26）, Elizabeth issued a serious warning on the threat of climate change. Over two million of Kenyans are facing climate related hunger now. In 2025, half of the world's population will be facing water shortage. The climate crisis will displace 80 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone.

Elizabeth said, “Environment is the foundation of development, and it can no longer continue being taken for granted. I have been doing what I can. Inspired by the great Wangari Maathai, I founded a tree growing initiative that enhances food security for young Kenyans. ” So far, they have grown 30, 000 fruit trees to maturity, providing desperately needed nutrition for thousands of children. “Every day we see that when we look after the trees, they look after us. We are the adults on this Earth right now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the children have food and water, ” she added.

B. 3, 000 trees have been planted.

C. 80 million people have been saved.

D. School education has been guaranteed.

Watching a specific deep red light for just three minutes once a week, when delivered in the morning, may significantly improve the eyesight, according to a new study by researchers at University College London. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for older people suffering from poor vision.

Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy （疗法）. 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.

To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later. On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.

The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team's promising results are still drawn on limited numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.

“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world, ” Jeffrey said. Given its low cost （as little as $15） per device, and simplicity, Jeffrey and the team is excited about the future of their therapy.

32. What do we know about the study from paragraph 2 and 3?

A. 24 healthy old people took part in the study.

B. All the volunteers had better eyesight after the study.

C. The therapy was more effective when used once a week.

D. The time of day for treatment was vital in the new study.

33. What makes it necessary to improve the study?

A. The age of the volunteers.

B. The number of the volunteers.

C. The poor vision of the volunteers.

D. The health condition of the volunteers.

34. What is the team's attitude to the future of red light therapy?

A. Optimistic.

B. Critical.

C. Ambiguous.

D. Conservative.

 35. What is the purpose of this text?

A. To state the importance of eye care.

B. To explain the value of deep red light.

C. To encourage people to protect their eyes.

D. To introduce a way to fight vision decline.

It's hard to do much to treat a cold or the flu once you're infected. As with many illnesses, taking steps towards prevention may be the best cure for the cold or flu. 36 You may also be able to avoid a serious illness by acting quickly at the first sign of symptoms.

Get enough rest. Making sure that you allow your body to rest can ease your symptoms and help you more quickly recover from a cold or the flu. 40 Getting enough rest also lowers the risk of you infecting family members, friends, or colleagues. Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night and take a short break, which can help your immune system fight any developing cold or flu virus.

A. Avoid the crowd.

B. Don't share items with sick people.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The day was Thankful Thursday, our “chosen day” of service. It's a weekly tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out in the world and make a positive contribution, however small it is. On this particular Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do, but we knew that something would present itself.

Driving along a busy Houston road, I prayed for guidance in our quest to fulfill our weekly Act of Kindness. Around the noon hour, my two little ones wasted no time in letting me know their hunger, chanting, “McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's” as we drove along. And I began searching earnestly for the nearest McDonald's. Suddenly I realized that almost every crossroad I passed through was occupied by a beggar. And then it hit me!

If my two little ones were hungry, then all these beggars must be hungry, too. Perfect! Our Act of Kindness had presented itself. We were going to buy lunch for the beggars. After finding a McDonald's and ordering two Happy Meals for my girls, I ordered an additional 15 lunches and we set out to deliver them. It was exciting. We would pull alongside a beggar, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things would get better. Then we'd say, “Oh, by the way, here's lunch. ” And then we would head to the next crossroad.

It was the best way to give. There wasn't enough time for us to introduce ourselves or explain what we were going to do, nor was there time for them to say anything back to us. The Act of Kindness was anonymous and empowering for each of us, and we loved what we saw in the rearview mirror: a surprised and delighted person holding up his lunch bag and just looking at us as we drove off. It was wonderful!

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Then at a crossroad stood a small woman, asking for change.

She looked at me and added, “You know what, this is my daughter's favorite.
