2．Some people are using old books to create works of art，including sculptures.They can change the shape of a hardcover book so it becomes 3-D.The resulting sculpture has not only a length and width，but depth.The process can be very simple，and the result is often beautiful.
There are many kinds of book folding.Artists fold，bend，and sometimes，cut a book's pages while keeping them togejye.air.The art works can be hung on a wall or placed on a table. "They look impressive on the wall，" says writer Candice Caldwell. "A group of six of these on the wall together can look really beautiful，and they're just really simple folds."
In 2003，Caldwell started making clocks from old books when she saw plans for a simple book-folding project in a do-it-yourself magazine.She has since taught several friends and her mother how to create wall art from books.
Caldwell operates a blog.She writes about reshaping everyday objects like books for uses other than what they were designed for.
Clare Youngs，who is an illustrator （插圖畫家），has written a book called Folded Book Art.She says book folding is easy.From her home in England，she told the Associated Press by email that "It looks as if it is complex and unachievable，but it is really easy to do.You just don't tell anyone how easy it is and they will be amazed at your creations."
Youngs began making art from book pages several years ago when she saw pictures of folded books at the website Pinterest.com.She also watched some videos on You Tube that tell how to create art from books.
Youngs suggests folding cooking recipe and photography books.She says that "If it's really visual and really colorful when you start to fold them，you get a whole new look on the wall."

A．Creating everyday objects.

D．The goal of book folding.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．You never forget your first whale.The impact it makes upon you is huge and life is never quite the same again.My first whale was a 40-foot grey one，off the coast of California in 1979，and I've been a whale addict ever since.Now I have to go whale watching regularly just to survive normal daily life.
I may be crazy but I am certainly not alone.The world is filled with whale watchers：since its beginnings in the mid-fifties，whale watching has grown dramatically and now more than 13 million people join organized whale watching trips every year.
As a faithful whale watcher，all your holidays center on whales.The only books you read are ones about whales；you wear whale T-shirts，and every time you meet your friends you talk about whales.
So what is it about these larger-than-life animals that makes them so special？Their enormous size is one possible explanation：imagine sitting in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737.The fact that we know so little about them is another possibility：modern technology has taken us to the moon and beyond，yet we are only just beginning to understand these extraordinary forms of intelligent life on our own planet.
Planning and patience are just two essential requirements for successful whale watching.Planning is needed because there are certain whale hot spots-where you have the best chance of seeing them-and because the larger species tend to be on their way from feeding areas to breeding grounds，so rarely do they stay in one place for more than a few months at a time.
Patience is necessary because，even under the best conditions，whales can be tricky to find.However，most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate because they tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak （最高的） seasons.
（1）What is the impact of the author's first whale in his life？
A．He has fallen in love with whale watching.
B．He has organized watching trips every year.
C．He has written a good many articles on whale watching.
D．He has made a lot of speeches about protecting whales.
（2）The third paragraph mainly tells us.
A．what faithful whale watchers usually read
B．what faithful whale watchers are usually like
C．faithful whale watchers often wear whale T-shirts
D．faithful whale watchers often take part in whale forums
（3）Why does the author mention modern technology in paragraph 4？
A．To say that man has landed on the moon.
B．To prove that whales are really attractive.
C．To show us the power of modern technology.
D．To tell us that whales are intelligent animals.
（4）Why is patience necessary in whale watching？
A．It is very difficult to find these clever whales.
B．Whales only appear at seas that arc deep and far.
C．Whales often stay under water for quite a long time.
D．Whales are on their way to breeding grounds at a time.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
