• 2．When is cleaning walls a crime？When you're doing it to create art，obviously.A number of street artists around the world have started expressing themselves through a practice known as reverse graffiti（反向涂鸦）.They find dirty surfaces and paint them with images or messages using cleaning brushes or pressure hoses（高压水管）.Either way，it's the same principle：the image is made by cleaning away the dirt.Each artist has their own individual style but all artists share a common aim：to draw attention to the pollution in our cities.The UK's Paul Curtis，better known as Moose，operates around Lees and London and has been asked by a number of companies to make reverse graffiti advertisements.
     Brazilian artist，Alexandre Orion，turned one of Sao Paulo's transport tunnels into an amazing wall painting in 2006 by getting rid of the dirt.Made up of a series of white skulls（颅骨），the painting reminds drivers of the effect their pollution is having on the planet. "Every motorist sits in the comfort of their car，but they don't give any consideration to the price their comfort has for the environment and consequently for themselves，" says Orion.
     The anti-pollution message of the reverse graffiti artists confuses city authorities since the main argument against graffiti is that it spoils the appearance of both types of property：public and private.This was what Leeds City Council said about Moose's work： "Leeds residents want to live in clean and attractive neighborhoods.We view this kind of advertising as environmental damage and will take strong action against it." Moose was ordered to "clean up his act." How was he supposed to do this：by making all property he had cleaned dirty again？
     As for the Brazilian artist's work，the authorities were annoyed but could find nothing to charge him with.They had no other option but to clean the tunnel-but only the parts Alexandre had already cleaned.The artist merely continued his campaign on the other side.The city official then decided to take further action.They not only cleaned the whole tunnel but every tunnel in Sao Paulo.
  
  （1）What can we learn from the passage about reverse graffiti？

  
  A．It uses paint to create anti-pollution images.
  B．It creates a lot of trouble for local residents.
  C．It causes lots of distraction to drivers.
  D．It turns dirty walls into artistic works.
  （2）Why does Alexandre Orion create a series of white skulls on one of Sao Paulo's tunnels？

  
  A．He has a talent for painting white skulls.
  B．He is enthusiastic about doing creative artworks.
  C．He wants to raise public awareness of environmental protection.
  D．He intends to express his dissatisfaction with local governments.
  （3）What does the author imply about Leeds City Council's decision？

  
  A．It is simply ridiculous.
  B．It is well-informed.
  C．It is rather unexpected.
  D．It is quite reasonable.
  （4）How did Sao Paulo city officials handle Alexandre Orion's reverse graffiti？

  
  A．They made him clean all the tunnels in Sao Paulo.
  B．They took action to ban all reverse graffiti.
  C．They charged him with polluting tunnels in the city.
  D．They made it impossible for him to practice his art.

• 8．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
      You'd think that after hearing Mom and Dad talk about The Trip for a year，I'd be eager to go.But I didn't even want to think about it. "Aren't you excited？" asked Dad，looking up from his laptop. "This is the trip of lifetime.I'll bet none of your friends will be driving across the United States this summer."
      Exactly，I thought.Nobody I knew was going to pile into an old van，and drive from California to New York and back in 58 days.Fifty-eight days!That was practically my whole summer!But I knew it was useless to protest（抗议）.
      When Dad was offered a summer off for the first time in his career，he said that he'd always dreamed of driving across the country.So we were going.This was Dad's chance.
      I picked up my cat，Max，and buried my face in his fur.He pawed at my ears playfully.Good-bye，summer vacation.Good-bye，diving at the lake.Good-bye to hanging out and doing absolutely nothing.Good-bye，Max.I was going to miss this ball of fur.I put him down and laughed as he batted a button across the floor like a soccer player.He was interested in all small objects.
      The closer The Trip got，the harder it was to ignore.Thick envelopes arrived from places like Indiana，Tennessee，and Arkansas.Night after night，Mom and Dad huddled around the computer，plotting every inch of our 8，000-mile journey.
      Three days after school got out，The Trip was finally here.Everything was packed and ready to go.Mom said that we were supposed to leave at 9 a.m.But when Dad noticed a wet spot under the van，I realized we wouldn't be going anywhere for a while.Dad crawled under the van.Car parts sprang up around the van like mushrooms.
      Minutes turned into hours.By the time Dad gave Mom the news，it was late afternoon. "I fixed the leak，" said Dad. "But now I can't find one of the fan bolts （螺栓）." Mom organized a search，but in vain.
  Paragraph 1：
      Dad called the stores but none carried the bolt that fitted this old van._______.
  Paragraph 2：
      Then it hit me. "Max!" I shouted， "Find Max!"_______.
