【题目】Pablo Picasso, born in Spain in 1881, was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Picasso began painting when he was a small child and took advanced art courses when he was only fifteen. Between 1904 and 1947 Picasso lived in Paris. In 1947 he moved to Riviera, in the south of France.

Many people thought Picasso's works were strange and unpleasant. Still,he had a great influence on artists in every country. Today, Picasso is regarded as a genius (天才), and his paintings are in the museums all over the world.

In 1912, Picasso actually invented a new type of art. He painted a picture,then he pasted bits of paper and something else on the picture. This picture of art is called collage(拼贴艺术).

Picasso was not only a painter, he was also a sculptor (雕塑家)and a designer of scenery for plays. There are even some photographs of light paintings that he created. These paintings were produced by moving a light pencil, or a small flashlight in the air. Although the images could be seen only briefly by anyone watching them happen, the camera was able to catch the images as they occurred.

By the time he died in France in April of 1973 , he had created a staggering 22,000 works of art.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.

He seems an unlikely hero, especially one that would save a kid from the jaws of a wild cougar (美洲豹) .

Shen Huigang is just now getting recognition for his bravery in fighting off a cougar on Vancouver Island, Canada, during a family outing on Aug .30.

Shen, also known as Ian, was then an exchange student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University enjoying the afternoon on a beach near Ucluelet, a small town on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar’s two grandchildren.

Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere.

By the time the two adults spotted the cat, believed to be young but still weighing 30 to 35 kilograms, it already had the head of 18-month old Julien in its mouth. Instinctively本能地, the young man gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with the bag in his hands.

On hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the kid and Hagar grabbed his grandson from the cougar’s jaws. Shen and Hagar gradually chased the animal back into the woods.

“We also moved slowly to our vehicle, as we waved our fists and bags, pretending we wanted to fight with it,” Shen said. “The vehicle wasn’t far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey.”

“Any hesitation, at anymoment, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien. The cougar was just about to break his neck and carry him away to be eaten in the forest.” Hagar said. Julien has since made a full recovery.

Parks Canada spokeswoman Arlene Armstrong told the National Post newspaper of Canada in an interview in August. “The two men acted properly by maintaining eye contact with the big cat and aggressively scaring it off.”

【题目】Neil Armstrong tookone small step for manwhen he stepped on the moons surface while worldfamous physicist Stephen Hawking took a giant leap (跳跃)”for Earth’s physically disabled when he experienced eight rounds of weightlessness in what he saw as the first step in a personal goal to travel in space.

It was amazing,Hawking told reporters afterwards,using his wellknown computerized voice.The zeroG part was wonderful,and the highG part was no problem.I could have gone on and on.I have long wanted to go into space,and the zerogravity flight is the first step towards space travel.

Hawking is one of the bestknown scientists because of his bestselling works on the mysteries of black holes and the origins of the universe,and because of his increasing disability.He is almost completely paralyzed (瘫痪的) and can communicate only via facial gestures and a gesturecontrolled computer system.

Thursadys flight was a test run to find out if Hawking is capable of a rocketpowered journey to the edge of outer space,perhaps aboard the spaceship now being developed for Virgin Galactic.That craft is due to enter service in 2009 or so,and taking such a flight would check off what Hawking has said is hisnext stepHe would have flown more if we let himsaid Noah McMahon,one of Hawkings coaches.He was all smiles all the time.

Zero Gravity had originally planned to bring Hawking back to NASAs Shuttle Landing Facility here after six upsanddowns.Hwkings performance showed well for more tests.Zero Gravity Corp.cofounder Peter Diamandis said Hawking experienced the flight better than his physicians had expected.He noted that the four minutes Hawking spent in weightlessness was about as much time as he would spend in zeroG during a space flight.
