    Street art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers (张贴物). Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.
    It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.
    Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.
    Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.
    During the 1980s, two New York painters — Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.

    B．There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art.
    C．The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.
    D．All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.

    Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child?
    Some people think  31  matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children,  32  are smart and strong-willed, are very likely  33   (succeed).  The reason  34  this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for     35   same reason.
    What happens to the  36  children in the family? Middle children don’t get so much attention, so they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child,  37 , often gets special treatment. Often this child grows up to be funny. But a recent study saw things quite  38  (difference). The study found that first children believe in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in  39  lives. They usually  40  (follow) orders.  Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.

    SECTION A ( 10 points )
    Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.
    Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
    After the women’s movement in the world, women’s position in society as well as at home is improving. But how many men on earth have helped their wives do their housework at home, do you know? Recently a European Commission tried to find out people's ideas and reactions to the women's movement.They have carried out an overall survey of that. As part of their survey , they asked many men and women all over the Europe the same question,“Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!
    The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things at home. 37% of Danish men helped their wives do such things in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all.
    But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped them at home. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission, however, found that Danish men were the most truthful husbands, fpr their answers were the same as their wives' answers.
    Do the men you know around you help their wives in the house? Do you think the survey made by the European Commission gives a true picture in your experience? Write and tell us what you think.

    Ayesha and Latisha Jones need to take a break in their own homework to help their dad, because at the age of 52, John Jones is just now learning to read.
    “I was so uncomfortable and so ashamed,” he said. For many years, unable to read a menu or a bus schedule, Jones was just one of the estimated 65,000 adults in Buffalo, New York who cannot read above a 5th-grade level.
    And a new study shows the problem is getting worse in many states. California, New York and Florida have all shown surprising increases in illiteracy（文盲）rates. The situation has improved in a few states, like Mississippi, Rhode Island and Kentucky. But worldwide, the United States doesn’t perform well.
    Fourteen countries rank higher in reading ability than the United States, including Finland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, South Korea, UK, Japan, Sweden, Iceland, Belgium, Austria, France and Norway.
    Back in Buffalo, a program called Read to Succeed targets the problem early, teaching preschoolers shapes, colors and letters.
    “We have a lot of poverty and that means a lot of children don’t have the skills, but they have the potential（潜质）,” said Helene Kramer of Read to Succeed. The theory is : you’re never too young or too old to learn.
    Working with Buffalo’s literacy volunteers has given Jones a fresh start. “They gave me a chance to open a door that I could never open before,” he said. “I could never open it before, because I couldn’t read.” It’s not easy, but Jones says seeing his daughters read inspires him to try.
    64. In America, which of the following states has seen an improvement in the situation of illiteracy?
    A. New York.   B. Mississippi.   C. Florida.   D. California
    65. Helene Kramer would probably think that _______.
    A. kids should not learn to read too early
    B. old people aren’t able to learn to read
    C .poverty contributes to poor reading ability
    D. most poor kids have difficulty reading
    66. What can we know about John Jones?
    A. He is very tired of learning to read.
    B. He is thankful for the chance to learn to read.
    C. It is easy for him to learn to read.
    D. His children don’t like to help him.
    67. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
    A. Canadians perform better in reading than Americans
    B. American children’s ability to solve problems is quite bad
    C. the illiteracy rates in New York have dropped
    D. Norway ranks the lowest in reading ability
    68. What might be the best title for the passage?
    A. America ranks higher in reading ability.
    B. volunteers help a man live a new life.
    C. Reading offers more chances to children.
    D. Find inspiration to fight illiteracy.
