【题目】Here’s the news from BBC. Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, sends her wishes to those who celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year at Chinese New Year Reception 2017.

"I would like to start by welcoming everybody here to Number 10 Downing Street my office but also my home. And it’s wonderful to see so many people here and to see the building so beautifully decorated, actually, for Chinese New Year. And I'm delighted that Chinese New Year is an annual celebration in this house just as it is across Britain and across the world.

Today is the beginning of the Year of the Rooster, more specifically, the Year of the Fire Rooster, which I’m told comes every 60 years. Our ambition is to make Britain a country where whoever you are, whatever your background, you can go as far as your talents will take you. And I think that in the British Chinese community, we have an excellent example. Ever since the first Chinese settlers came to this country, in the port cities of Liverpool, Cardiff and London, you’ve been a model of integration(融入) and success. Chinese enterprises, from food to finance, manufacturing to the arts, is a successful support of the British economy.

We want to follow that example, to ensure that whoever they are, they're able to reach their potential.

So as we end the Year of the Fire Monkey, a year in which I was born, let us welcome the Year of the Fire Rooster, approach it with that openness, confidence, hard work and leadership, build that Global Britain, growing our relationship and our strategic(战略的) partnership with China as we do so.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 Imagine looking f or your lost dog. You step into a cave. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be“Who did this? ”
This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17, 000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnon(克鲁马努人).
Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned(两只角的)animal.
To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird.
Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magic power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro-Magnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it.
