Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.
After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”

Perhaps you have ever heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it’s too late to have a fresh start.
I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he sometimes wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.
For him, the risks are too high, so whether he can’t abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jack’s or you might be a Jack. You’re now facing a wall. No matter what it is—the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, it’s time that you had to decide whether you’ll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel it’s too late to start over? That is simply because you’re comparing yourself with others — younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older version of you.
Don’t become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don’t let your life plateau (停滞不前) and waste away in the daily chores. Don’t give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state. Now, you’d better bravely start going after the things you want to do, without abandoning your dreams, ambitions and responsibilities.
8. What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author?
A. Those leading a happy life. B. Those feeling trapped in current career.
C. Those longing to make a change. D. Those having a high ambition to work.
9. What does the underlined word “abide” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. expand. B. deserve. C. possess. D. tolerate.
10. What does the author advise us not to do?
A. Let life stand still. B. Enjoy the present job.
C. Have a small goal in life. D. Consider ourselves as a failure.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Everyone Can Meet a Jack B. Don’t Try to Control Yourself
C. Never Think Change Is Too Late D. You Should Make Alteration Earlier
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟。然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.(然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了)”以及第二段最后一句“But he’d become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.(但他已经习惯了这种生活方式，觉得要放弃这种生活去实现新的抱负已经太晚了)”可知，作者在第一段提到有的人想改变，但觉得为时已晚，作者在第二段以Jack为例来说明他就属于这一类人。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词下文“he has to choose to suck it up(他不得不选择忍受现状)”可知，Jack认为对他来说，改变的风险太大，所以无论他是否可以忍受，他都不得不选择忍受现状，下文的suck it up意为“逆来顺受，忍受”。由此推知，abide的意思是“忍受”。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Don’t let your life plateau (停滞不前) and waste away in the daily chores. (不要让你的生活停滞不前，浪费在日常琐事上)”可知，作者建议我们不要让生活停滞不前，即不要让生活静止。故选A。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章第一段最后一句“However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start. (然而，有些人害怕做出清醒的决定，或者他们认为现在要重新开始已经太晚了)”直接点明文章中心，每个人的生活都会经历许多变化，无论是生理上的衰老，还是心理上的成熟，然而，有些人害怕改变，觉得为时已晚。其实，改变仅是一种心态，任何时候都不晚。故本文的标题是“永远都不要认为改变为时已晚”故选C。
D
Some penguins (企鹅) adapt their calls to become more similar to their partners over time, an ability that was previously known in only a few species, including humans.
Luigi Baciadonna at the University of Turin, Italy, and his coworkers recorded African penguins from three different colonies (群体) over three years, and also observed the behavioral patterns of one of the colonies to see which penguins were partners or friendly.
They then analyzed specific vocal (声音的) calls, which the penguins made when they were alone or trying to keep track of their friends. They compared four distinct vocal signatures such as the frequency of the calls. The signatures became more similar over time for penguins that were partners or in the same colony, and for penguins that heard more of each other’s calls.
This adaptation could make it easier for penguins to find their partners and friends in a colony. “Imagine that you are in a pub, you are with your friends and your environment is quite noisy,” says Baciadonna. “What you do is try to talk in a certain way so that your communication is more effective.”
The ability to adapt calls in response to the environment, known as vocal accommodation, is a key part of vocal learning, a more complex set of skills such as producing new sounds through learning. Identifying which species display vocal accommodation could provide clues for how vocal learning developed. Baciadonna and his team also propose that this accommodation could help with group harmony and social bonds between individual penguins.
The distance of penguins from humans on the evolutionary tree suggests that vocal accommodation could be common to many species, but a lot more data needs gathering first. “There could be a huge variety of different species that are able to adapt their calls slightly, but we don’t know that yet,” says Sara Torres Ortiz at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Munich, Germany.
12. What does the underlined word “signatures” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Effects. B. Characteristics. C. Sources. D. Adjustments.
13. What is the intention of the quotes from Baciadonna in paragraph 4?
A. To explain the reason why penguins adapt their calls.
B. To highlight the role communication plays in social life.
C. To prove humans’ ability to recognize each other’s voices.
D. To stress the difference between human and animal sounds.
14. What remains to be explored according to Sara Torres Ortiz?
A. Whether penguins can promote group harmony.
B. Whether all species can adapt to the environment.
C. Whether more species display vocal accommodation.
D. Whether penguins and humans are similar in vocal learning.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Vocal learning involves a complex set of skills.
B. Vocal accommodation helps build up social bonds.
C. Penguins produce similar sounds even in different colonies.
D. Penguins adapt their accents to sound more like their friends.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了随着时间的推移，一些企鹅会调整它们的叫声，使之与它们的伴侣更加相似，这种能力以前只在包括人类在内的少数物种中被发现。新的研究发现声音上的适应有助于建立社会关系。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“became more similar over time for penguins that were partners or in the same colony, and for penguins that heard more of each other’s calls(随着时间的推移，伴侣企鹅或同一群体的企鹅，以及听到更多彼此叫声的企鹅变得越来越相似)”可推知，此处伴侣企鹅或同一群体的企鹅的声音特征变得越来越相似。由此推知，划线词signatures与Characteristics(特征，特色)意思接近。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的““Imagine that you are in a pub, you are with your friends and your environment is quite noisy,” says Baciadonna. “What you do is try to talk in a certain way so that your communication is more effective.”(“想象一下，你在一家酒吧里，和朋友在一起，周围的环境非常嘈杂，”Baciadonna说。“你要做的就是试着用一种特定的方式说话，这样你的沟通就会更有效。”)”可推知，第四段引用Baciadonna的话的目的是为了解释为什么企鹅会改变它们的叫声。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““There could be a huge variety of different species that are able to adapt their calls slightly, but we don’t know that yet,” says Sara Torres Ortiz at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Munich, Germany.(“可能有很多不同的物种能够轻微地适应它们的叫声，但我们还不知道这一点，”德国慕尼黑马克斯·普朗克鸟类研究所的Sara Torres Ortiz说)”可推知，根据Sara Torres Ortiz的说法，是否有更多的物种表现出声音适应性还有待探索。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some penguins (企鹅) adapt their calls to become more similar to their partners over time, an ability that was previously known in only a few species, including humans.(随着时间的推移，一些企鹅会调整它们的叫声，使之与它们的伴侣更加相似，这种能力以前只在包括人类在内的少数物种中被发现)”及倒数第二段中的“Baciadonna and his team also propose that this accommodation could help with group harmony and social bonds between individual penguins.( Baciadonna和他的团队还提出，这种适应可以帮助企鹅群体和谐和个体之间的社会联系)”可知，本文通过对企鹅改变声音的研究，表明了声音上的适应有助于建立社会关系。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多乐选项。
Variety makes things fresh and interesting; it keeps your brain sharp and your body alive-part of the reason why we feel refreshed after a holiday is the break from routine. ___16___ So doing things differently might take a bit of effort at first, but you'll soon feel the benefits. Whether it's learning a skill, or visiting somewhere new, these all require different ways of thinking.
“Lifelong learning requires us to have a growth mind set, to up size our knowledge of the world,” says health coach Susan sanders. “ ___17___ It's the learning that makes the difference, firing up our curiosity and engaging our minds.”
Many people decide that the best way to keep their minds feeling younger is to really change up their life and train for a new job. “As humans, we are meant to grow, stretch, and expand,” says Francesca Kastelanides, director and founder of Beam Academy. “ ___18___ Although it will most likely be challenging at times, if your reason why is strong enough, you will always gain the benefits.”
___19___ “When starting a new journey, ask yourself what you hope to gain, why you want to make this move, and what you expect to get out of it at the end.”
Learning something new will not only improve your skill set but it will boost your wellbeing. From a physical point of view, when you exercise your brain, the mind reshapes itself, because the physical brain can grow and change. But, mentally, a new skill also provide you with motivation and increase your confidence. ___20___ And, of course, learning will open new opportunities in life that will boost your happiness. And who doesn't want to be happier?
A. We’re naturally creatures of habit.
B. But learning to grow is no easy task.
C. And it doesn't matter what we learn.
D. Thus you can overcome any fears and anxieties you have.
E. Learning a new skill or re training for a different career can only be positive.
F. To have the desired result, you should make some preparations in the first place.
G. She explains that the most important thing is to make use of your central motivation.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学习的意义，不光能改变思维方式，使我们受益，还可以提升幸福感。
【16题详解】
上文“we feel refreshed after a holiday is the break from routine.(我们在假期后感到神清气爽的部分原因是可以从日常生活中解脱出来。)”提到routine，即我们日常例行公事一般的生活；下文“So doing things differently might take a bit of effort at first, but you'll soon feel the benefits. Whether it's learning a skill, or visiting somewhere new, these all require different ways of thinking.(所以，一开始用不同的方式做事可能需要一点努力，但你很快就会感受到好处。无论是学习一项技能，还是参观一个新的地方，这些都需要不同的思维方式。)”提出用不同的方式做事情可能需要一些努力，这里“不同的方式”指的是与上文的routine不同的方式，所以空处应该选择带有routine“常规”、“例行程序”近义或同义的选项。A项“我们天生是有习惯的生物。”符合文意，“习惯”和“常规”为近义词。故选A项。
【17题详解】
上文“Lifelong learning requires us to have a growth mind set, to up size our knowledge of the world.(终身学习需要我们有一种成长的心态，要增加我们对世界的了解。)”提出要终生学习，下文“It’s the learning that makes the difference, firing up our curiosity and engaging our minds.(真正起作用的是学习本身，它激发了我们的好奇心，激发了我们的思维。)”强调了学习本身的重要性。C项“我们学什么并不重要。”承上启下，既谈到了学习，又对后文“学习本身起作用”进行了强调。故选C项。
【18题详解】
上文“Many people decide that the best way to keep their minds feeling younger is to really change up their life and train for a new job.(许多人认为，保持头脑年轻的最好方法是真正改变生活，为一份新工作进行训练。)”引出关键词“learning(学习)”、“train(训练)”、“job(工作)”等，后文“Although it will most likely be challenging at times,(虽然有时很可能会很有挑战性，)”提到这种改变可能会比较难，故空处需要承上启下，就需要提到“工作”、“培训”以及工作培训带来的情感价值。E项“学习一项新技能或为不同的职业重新培训只有积极的好处。”符合文意。故选E项。
【19题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。后文“When starting a new journey, ask yourself what you hope to gain, why you want to make this move, and what you expect to get out of it at the end.(当开始一段新的旅程时，问问自己，你希望得到什么，为什么要做出这一举动，最后你希望从中得到什么。)”的连续发问都是大家在做每件事情之前需要问自己的问题；而上文“Although it will most likely be challenging at times, if your reason why is strong enough, you will always gain the benefits.(虽然有时很可能会很有挑战性，但如果你的理由足够充分，你总会从中受益。)”强调，做事情之前一定要有足够充分的动机和理由。所以空处需要谈到做事的动机。G项“她解释说，最重要的是利用你的中心动机。”符合文意。故选G项。
【20题详解】
上文“But, mentally, a new skill also provide you with motivation and increase your confidence.(但是，在心理上，一项新技能也能给你动力，增加你的信心。)”和下文“And, of course, learning will open new opportunities in life that will boost your happiness.(当然，学习也会给你带来新的生活机会，让你更快乐。谁不想变得更快乐呢？)”都提到了学习新技能对情绪的改善，提高自信和幸福感，所以空处也需要填写相应选项，表达学习能如何对情绪做到改善。D项“因此你可以克服任何恐惧和焦虑。”符合文意。故选D项。

I must be home before nine. I was only ___22___ to watch television two hours a week. In the summers, I had to write book reports besides participating in a leadership camp.

Mom would then ___25___ that when you idolize people, their greatest accomplishments can unintentionally become the ceiling of your dreams. So, while as a 1980 s ___26___ I loved Oprah Winfrey, Mom ___27___ to have me strive to be like Oprah. She always said, “There is only one Oprah and only one Dana. Envision (想象) your own success, Dana.”
But in my late twenties, I lost touch with moms ___28___ I wanted to be the best, and I ___29___ myself trying to make real the visions others had for me. Many times, I was ___30___ for meeting some established bench marks of success. That led to bonuses and promotions, which made me feel accomplished. But after my sense of ___31___ wore off, I came back to my secret reality of feeling ___32___, and a bit bitter at myself.
Then in my mid-thirties, I began to stop ___33___ other people’s intentions. I ___34___ understand that Mom didn’t want any person—no matter how ___35___ —to have control over my thoughts, dreams and ambitions.

【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：该公司的老板试图创造轻松的氛围，这样他的员工就可以从中享受到工作的乐趣。此处为定语从句修饰先行词an easy atmosphere，且先行词在从句中作地点状语，故要用where。故填where。

第五部分：书面表达(读后续写)(满分20分)
61. 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。
A couple of years ago I volunteered to be a finish-line “hugger” at the Kentucky Special Olympics held in Richmond.
The day of the event dawned dull, wet and gray. Even though it started to rain and a cold wind blew, most of the participants were so excited that they didn’t seem to notice the weather at all.
My job was to stand at the end of a lane on the track and hug the person in that lane when he or she crossed the finish line. It seemed to me that many of the participants completed their races just so they could get that finish “hug”. As the arms of the hugger closed around them, their faces lit up with pure joy, whether they came in first or dead last.
While we huggers stood around, we talked. I was told that most of the participants had been training for the races all year. I also noticed that, the Special Olympic participants weren’t here just to win. They didn’t talk negatively about the people they were racing against. In fact, they hugged and wished each other luck before they started, and hugged again when it was over, whether they had won or not.
What I remember most vividly from that day was the long-distance race. It was a long race by any standards: twelve laps around the track. There were only four participants, three boys and one girl. They were only a couple of laps into the race when the rain started up again. Standing in the rain, I began to feel miserable. My feet hurt. I was soaking wet. I was hungry. I was cold when the rain and wind came and hot when the sun came out. I thought irritably: This race is lasting entirely too long. Even though the three boys were nearly finished, the girl was at least four laps behind. I wondered why she kept going when there was obviously no way she could win.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, the three boys finished but they didn’t leave right away.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As she approached the finishing line, the girl was barely running.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, the three boys finished but they didn’t leave right away. The boys didn’t leave right away, but waited by the track cheering the girl on each time she went by. She was the runner in my lane and each time she ran by me, I could see she was wet and in pain and obviously exhausted. As she completed each lap her face was a little redder and her steps were slowing down. But she didn’t quit.
As she approached the finishing line, the girl was barely running. The audience went wild when she crossed the line. She fell into my arms and started sobbing. After hugging the three boys, she turned to the audience and bowed, saying “Thank you all.” Then she hugged me again and made her way to the awards table. I stood motionless, astonished and awed. Tears coursed down my face as I watched her joyfully accept her award for fourth place. At that moment, I understood why these Olympics were “special”.
