26、NANJING, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou will shake hands in their historic meeting scheduled in Singapore on Saturday, head of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said on Wednesday.

The two-part meeting includes one session open to the media and another behind closed doors, said Zhang Zhijun, who is also head of the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, when interviewed at the Zijinshan Summit for Entrepreneurs across the Taiwan Strait.

According to Zhang, Xi and Ma, as "leaders of the two sides" of the Taiwan Strait, will exchange views during the closed-door meeting.

After the meeting, press conferences will be held by both sides. Later, the two leaders are expected to attend a dinner, said Zhang.

Zhang said the meeting will lift cross-Strait communication to a new high.

The landmark meeting is a breakthrough in face-to-face exchange and communication between the leaders across the Taiwan Strait after the relationship became strained following the events of 1949.

Zhang said the meeting will improve mutual trust and allow for an exchange of opinions on handling the cross-Strait ties.

In addition, the meeting will help strengthen the 1992 Consensus(共识), which was reached in talks between the two sides in 1992 and recognizes the one-China principle, and safeguards the peaceful development of cross-Strait ties, according to Zhang.

Zhang added that the scheduled meeting will also benefit regional peace and stability.

Also at Wednesday's summit, Chiang Pin-kung, former chairman of the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation, hailed the upcoming meeting between the two leaders as a milestone for cross-Strait ties.

Chiang told the media that he believed the meeting will give a boost to the peaceful development of cross-Strait ties.

27、“In the future, everybody will be famous for 15 minutes,” said US artist Andy Warhol (1928—1987). And he is quite right. Now it seems that anybody can become an instant online celebrity.

Warhol is best noted for his paintings that represent celebrity faces and US consumer goods, like Coca-Cola bottles or Campbel’s soup cans. As a great influence on the twentieth century pop art movement, Andy Warhol rose to become a cornerstone in the contemporary art world, devoted to bringing his views on materialism, politics and economics to the art. Actually, the visual world Warhol created is directly connected to his background.

In the mid-1950s, the working class gathered a great deal of fortune. They wanted to achieve a higher status in society. The consumer goods and Hollywood faces are a “working-class-coded iconography (肖像；意象) that is often misinterpreted as generally ‘American’.” Anthony E. Grudin, author of Warhol’s Working Class commented. Reproducing these themes in his work meant that people outside of the art world could immediately connect with Warhol’s pictures. Considered “a creature of transformation”, Warhol constantly explored with different forms of media to evoke resonance among people.

For example, in addition to being a painter, Warhol was, in the words of UK writer Peter Wollen: “A filmmaker, a writer, a photographer, a TV soap opera producer.” Warhol, in short, was what we might call a ‘Renaissance (文艺复兴) man’, even though he was a leader in pop or perhaps post-modern art.”

In his later years, he founded Interview Magazine and wrote several books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol. But UK artist Gillian Wearing said, “Warhol left his mark in many more ways than his actual work.” Warhol’s works are all about “America, money, fame and death”, UK writer Jon Savage remarked. “He summed up, defined and in many ways symbolized the world in which we now live.

【1】What’s Andy Warhol’s purpose of creating his paintings?

A．To highlight Renaissance style.

B．To attain fame and higher status.

C．To combine art with materialism.

D．To challenge traditional art forms.

【2】What do Andy Warhol’s paintings focus on?

A．Popular drinks.

B．Average people.

C．Commercial products.

D．Living scenes of working class.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “evoke resonance” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Inspire connection.

B．Receive recognition.

C．Raise inspiration.

D．Gain sympathy.

【4】What kind of person is Andy Warhol according to the text?

A．Creative and critical.

B．Conservative and realistic.

C．Optimistic and encouraging.

D．Constructive and multi-talented.

28、   A group of researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland looked at autumn leaf-fall data from 1948 to 2015 for six species of deciduous (落叶的) trees across almost 4,000 sites in central Europe. They did two experiments to see the role played by CO2 and sunlight in the timing of leaves' fall, testing the impact of shade.

“For decades, we've assumed that growing seasons are increasing and that the autumn leaf-off is getting later”, said Prof Thomas Crowther at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, who was one of the study team, in a statement. “However, this research suggests that as tree productivity gets higher, the leaves actually fall earlier.”

For the study, the researchers modelled what would happen by 2100 if humanity's carbon emissions (排放) remain high. They found the warmer autumns would mean leaves falling between three to six days earlier than now, challenging previous studies that said leaves would fall about two to three weeks later.

Their experiments and the leaf data they used suggest that higher CO2 levels, temperatures or light levels are driving the leaves to be more productive in spring and summer, speeding their death in autumn.

Previous models did not include the amount of carbon a tree absorbs during a season. However, deciduous trees can only absorb a set amount of carbon each year and once that limit is reached, no more can be absorbed, the researchers argued. At that point, leaves begin to change color. This limit is set by the availability of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, and the physical structure of the plant itself.

“In a world with increasing levels of carbon in the atmosphere, these new findings tell us that warmer weather and longer growing seasons will not allow temperate deciduous trees to take in more carbon dioxide,” said Philip James, professor of Ecology at the University of Salford, not related to the study.

The findings would have global consequences that go beyond changing tourists' plans to see leaf-fail. The researchers calculate that the switch from a delay to an advance in leaf-fail amounts to about 1 billion tons less carbon stored globally each year by temperate forests, about a tenth of what humanity emits annually.

【1】What did the researchers try to find out with the experiments?

A．Why the autumn leaf-fail is becoming later.

B．How CO2 and sunlight affect leaves' fall time.

C．Whether leaves' fall time can be delayed artificially.

D．What kind of trees can absorb most carbon dioxide.

【2】What can be learned from the finding of the new study?

A．Higher CO2 may quicken leaves' fall.

B．Warmer autumns lead to leaves falling later.

C．Leaves' falling earlier is beneficial to tourism.

D．High temperature has nothing to do with leaf-off.

【3】What did the previous studies overlook?

A．They didn't use the data provided by the studies before them.

B．They knew too little about the physical structures of trees in autumn.

C．They didn't give enough consideration to the carbon absorbed by trees.

D．They provided trees with a set amount of carbon and nutrients each year.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A social media platform.

B．A travel brochure.

C．A science magazine.

D．A geography text book.

29、I wanted to be a journalist. But my parents reminded me that math makes money, so off to an engineering school I went. In my post-university young-adult life, I’ve managed to become “traditionally successful”. As a female engineer, I worked for a big oil company and owned home. My life was laid out in front of me, but I didn’t like what I saw.

So, I did what any respectable 24-year-old would do and left my life behind. I said goodbye to my boyfriend and pulled out my suitcase. I threw myself alone into the world with the beauty of a baby deer taking its first steps with skateboards under its feet. I bloodied(血染) my knees riding a mountain bike through the red rocks of Utah. I went to a thermal spring(温泉) in Budapest. I spent four days trudging through Yellowstone with 50 pounds on my back. Two Peruvian women along my Andean hike helped me practice Spanish. It wasn’t Vienna’s cultural museums; it was the sunny grasses beside the Danube River with someone from my hotel who quickly became a friend. It wasn’t Yellowstone’s Old Faithful Geyser(老忠实间歇泉) splashing(飞溅) into the air; it was enjoying Montana’s ordinary landscape while playing music so loud that the car windows shook. The truth is that I didn’t actually need to be abroad to have almost any of my favorite experiences. They were just small everyday moments that happened to happen abroad, leading me to realize that the true value of my flight tickets was not the landmarks but rather taking an active part in my own life.

I now spend less time shopping online and more time lying alone on the floor listening to music, light or rock. I ask my friends how they’re doing; sometimes, I surprise them with flowers to see them smile. I tell everyone to have a good day.

Maybe I’ll continue to be selfish for the next five years and visit more countries. Maybe I’ll stay grounded in my home city, but the idea no longer troubles me. Armed with new wisdom earned in a year of travel, I know with complete confidence that there’re wonderful adventures hiding in any aspect of my life as long as I’m awake enough to look for them.

【1】What does the underlined word “trudging” in the second paragraph mean?

A．Walking slowly or with heavy steps.

B．Running slowly for a long time.

C．Moving forward on hands and knees.

D．Traveling with great speed.

【2】Why did the author list the journeys she went on?

A．To introduce the landmarks she loved.

B．To show the importance of travel.

C．To express her joy of being with new fiends.

D．To show what these journeys taught her.

【3】How has the travel probably changed the author according to the text?

A．She has become more independent.

B．She begins to value her family’s opinion.

C．She begins to enjoy her daily life more.

D．She has become more interested in foreign cultures.

【4】What message does the author want to tell us through this article?

A．We shouldn’t pay attention to what others say.

B．We shouldn’t think life is better elsewhere.

C．It’s necessary to get out of your comfort zone.

D．Interest is the best teacher in choosing jobs.

32、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。

Recently, 16-year-old Jack found himself troubled his parents,especially his mom. They perhaps just cared too much, always nagging, reminding him about everything ,worrying about the smallest things, sometimes even forbidding him to hang out with friends, which, of course, caused tons of stress for Jack. Feeling like a bird caged, he desperately longed for freedom and even thought of running away from home, but somehow, an unknown kind of guilt stopped him to do so.

The suffering had seemingly gone on for ages and become so much that it was almost unbearable. Then one morning at the dinner table, the family were having breakfast when it struck Jack that he had to go to school in advance because of some earlier arrangements in school.

“Mom and dad, I gotta go.” he said and quickly picked up his school bag.

“But you haven’t finished your food” his mother responded, acute anxiety obvious on her face.

“I’m running out of time and I will explain it later. ” Jack got impatient.

“It won’t take you....”

“Bang”, before she could finish, Jack had stormed out of front door, slamming the door shut, leaving his father and mother stricken dumb.

That night, Jack just locked himself up in his room. Sadness, anger, helplessness, disappointment and many other untold miserable feelings kept flooding over him. However his father and mother tried to talking to him, he wouldn't open the door. Unable to fall asleep, he turned on his computer and logged on to his Instagram account, where he randomly viewed and mindlessly liked his friends’ photos—hundreds of them, all were the sort that overflowed with real happiness and pleasure. “Why is the whole world all so happy except me?” Jack thought to himself and sighed heavily. Just then, a strange screen name caught his eyes. “How could someone give herself such an old-fashioned name ‘Troubled Sally’? and how come she is on my friend list?” he thought doubtfully. Driven by curiosity, he decided to investigate.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
