共用题干The Writing's on the Wall?
Is it art or is it just vandalism（故意破坏公共财物罪）?Well, it's still a crime ,but graffiti（涂鸦）has
changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory.Street art has become much
more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his"tag",TAKI 183,all over the
New York underground in 1971,and hip-hop culture was born.Hip-hop is a mixture of art,music,dancing,
poetry,language and fashion.It came from 'young inner-city people,who felt left out by their richer classmates
and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could.
An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale,Greater Manchester,has been so successful
that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June."We're planning to
get people together from different countries like France and Germany for a week,"says Liam,one of the
organizers. The scheme started in 2000,and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes."We all
share a common interest and get on really well with each other."The first site to be chosen was a subway.
"Before we began,people were afraid to use the subway.We had it cleaned up,and now,with all the artists
hanging out down there,people are using it again.People can relate to graffiti much more now."By providing
places to display their talents legally,there has been a fall in the amount of"tagging"on people's private
property.
Street artist Temper developed his drawing skills at a young age.In art classes at school he was really
frustrated because the art teachers didn't spend time with him. They thought he was already very good at art
and so spent more time with other students.So,at 12 years old,Temper started painting with all these guys
he'd hooked up with and who were about 22 years old.He looked up to them and loved what they were doing
on the streets of Wolverhampton,England."The whole hip-hop scene was built up of different things and I
did a bit of everything. But it was always the graffiti I was best at."he says. Temper,a street artist,is now head of a graffiti club in England.A: RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

共用题干Waste Not,Want Not
1 Bob and Clara Darlington,who own and run a farm in the North of England,have always looked for
new ways of making money out of the produce they grow.Their success began when they established a shop
on their farm so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.
2 The business was an immediate success,and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the
Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country.The Association's inspectors found the
Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables.
3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and,in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local
produce,she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen.
A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added,with everything that visitors could taste on the menu
also being for sale in the shop.
4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive,and she has worked very hard,but maintains
that if the product is good,the public will recognize this and buy it."I aim to offer the highest quality to our cus-
tomers,whether they come in for a loaf of bread,or take a whole dinner-party menu.I take it as a compliment
（恭维）if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with preten-
ding they made it themselves."
5 The couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm
which were unsuitable for selling in the shop.Clara,not wishing to see them get thrown away,decided to turn
them into soup.
6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten
different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail,doing presentations of
the soups.As a result,they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies
as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores. Paragraph 2 ___________A:Professional Recognition is ObtainedB:Ensuring that Nothing Gets WastedC:A Necessary Alternative to FarmingD:Time Well Spent is RewardedE:Continuing Investment in High Standards F: Professional Skills are Exoloited
