1．With time（56）passing （pass） by，styles in Western art have changed many times．In the 5th century，the art of the Middle Ages came into being．A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people； （57）instead his paintings were full of religious symbols．
（58）As time went on，the Renaissance took place，during（59）which period painters began to adopt a more humanistic attitude towards life．Moreover，one of the most important（60）discoveries （discover） during this time（61）was （be） how to draw things in perspective．This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1482．
With new inventions and social changes in the late 19th century，a new style of painting-Impressionism，came（62）on/onto the stage．However，many people said the paintings of the Impressionists were ridiculous．Modern art began in（63）the early 20th century．Some of the paintings of modern artists are so（64）realistic （real） that they look like photographs．
Thus，styles of arts vary a great deal over time．Who can predict （65）what painting styles there will be in the future？
18．Surrounded by rolling green hills decorated with horses and cows，the town of Waimea on Hawaii's Big Island is a peaceful and friendly place．One afternoon，while staying with friends at their house there，my husband and I decided to go for a walk along the many，mostly traffic-free，country lanes in the area．
We met a beautiful Golden Retriever．He seemed very friendly so we stopped to play with him，throwing a stick which he retrieved（取回）several times happily．When we continued our walk，he followed us，and although I worried that he might be going too far from his home，I couldn't deny that we were enjoying his company．
After about twenty minutes，we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area．One house，almost hidden by the bush and shaded by tall trees，seemed somehow strange．I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible．
Just then，the door to the house opened and five dogs rushed out，barking and howling as they ran toward us．I felt afraid  and couldn't move．There was nowhere to hide and no time to run．
All of a sudden，our new friend appeared between the dogs and us．He faced them-all five of them-howling and baring his teeth．I was amazed to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him．Our protector held them there while we escaped．At a safe distance，we looked back and saw the five dogs heading back toward their house．
But the Golden Retriever was nowhere in sight．
I felt an ache in my heart； I missed our friend already．But I knew he was not hurt．
With a feeling of emptiness，we made our way back to the house，hoping the whole way that we would see him again．But it was not to be．
When I told our friend about the story，her eyes flew wide open as she shouted，"It was an angel!"
To this da y I have no doubt．A four-legged angel protected us．

A．A Romantic Walk                       B．A Beautiful Encounter
C．A Four-Legged Angel                   D．A Terrible Experience
28．Why does the author have a feeling of emptiness？B

B．Because she didn't see the Golden Retriever．

19．We experience different forms of the Sun's energy every day．We can see its light and feel its warmth．The Sun is the major source of energy for our planet．It causes the evaporation （蒸发） of water from the oceans and lakes．Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to ma ke their own food．These green plants then provide food for all organisms （生物） on the Earth．
    Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth's surface．It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere．Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere，30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth's surface．The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet，causes water to evaporate，and provides energy for the water cycle and weather．Only a tiny part，approximately 0.023%，is actually used by green plants to produce food．
    Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth's surface back to the Earth．These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving．They are therefore called greenhouse gases．
    When sunlight strikes an object，some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected．The amount reflected depends on the surface．For example，you've probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it．Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun，so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter．Dark-coloured surfaces，such as dark soil or forest，absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air．
24．According to the passage，the root cause for weather changes on the Earth isC．
A．the atmosphere surrounding the Earth         
B．water from oceans and lakes
C．energy from the Sun                          
D．greenhouse gases in the sky
25．Only a small part of the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's surface because most of it isC．
A．absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere
B．reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere
C．lost in the upper and lower atmosphere
D．used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes
26．We learn from the passage thatA．
A．all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food
B．a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy
C．only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth
D．greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth's surface．
