B
Born on the 25th of February, 1841, Pierre-Auguste Renoir was the son of a painter. Renoir took an interest in painting early in his life; his family moved to Paris in 1844 and encouraged him to frequent the Louvre where he developed an interest in the French Rococo
style of François Boucher and the Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix, admiring their loose
brushstrokes (笔法) and emphasis on bright colours.
In 1862, Renoir began studying painting under Charles Gleyre, whose other pupils included Claude Monet, Frèdèric Bazille, and Alfred Sisley. These artists would form what would later be termed Impressionism. Although Renoir experienced some success exhibiting in the Salon, for example his 1867 painting, Lise with a Parasol, he frequently struggled to gain acceptance within the strict structure of the Salon. Renoir along with Monet, Sisley, and Pissarro put on the first ‘Impressionist’ exhibition.
The Impressionist painters often describe ordinary subject matter working outdoors to
capture a spontaneous (自 然 的 ) moment. The style was characterised by broad loose brushstrokes, open composition and an interest in the effect of light. However, by 1878 Renoir had grown disillusioned (理想破灭的) with the Impressionists’ emphasis on spontaneity. By the third Impressionist exhibition, his paintings, although still displaying an interest in the effect of light, presented a more carefully composed scene such as Bal du moulin de la Galette, 1876.
In the 1880s, Renoir travelled to Italy where he came to admire the structural
compositions and underdrawing of the Renaissance artists, in contrast to the outdoors
technique favoured by the Impressionists. The trip to Italy had a crucial effect on his artistic style, moving his work towards more classical conceptions of draughtsmanship (绘画才能) and composition, as can be seen in his Luncheon of the Boating Party, 1881.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir died on the 3rd of December, 1919. Producing over two hundred
works during his lifetime, Renoir greatly influenced later artists, ensuring his legacy (遗产) as one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.
24. What stimulated Renoir’s interest in the French Rococo style?
A. His father’s painting technique.
B. His frequent visits to the Louvre.
C. His encounter with François Boucher.
D. His painting study under Charles Gleyre.
25. What can be learned about Renoir’s paintings in the Salon?
A. They met with insufficient recognition.
B. They were highly regarded by art experts.
C. They presented carefully composed scenes.
D. They were heavily influenced by Impressionism.

26. What is a feature of Impressionists’ painting?
A. Thin brushstrokes.
B. Use of underdrawing.
C. Structural compositions.
D. Stress on the effect of light.
27. How did Renoir’s trip to Italy influence him?
A. It made him adopt a classical painting style.
B. It brought him considerable fame and wealth.
C. It changed his view on life and his attitude to work.
D. It improved his relationship with other Impressionist.
C
Researchers from Purdue University have developed a new white paint that can reflect over 95 percent of sunlight, which can cool the surface even lower than the surrounding temperature. Painted on a building, the new paint could help cut cooling costs and energy use.
Many different reflective cooling paints have been developed over the years, but they all
have their drawbacks. For the new study, the Purdue researchers developed a new method—using calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) fillers, which are much richer, cheaper, and absorb less ultraviolet (紫外线的) light. And the new reflective cooling paint can give off
more sunlight—reflecting 95.5 percent of the light that strikes it. That’s better than many of
the other paints in development, which manage between 80 and 90 percent, although it falls short of the record holder—the Teflon coating, which reflects 98 percent of light.
The team tested the new coating outdoors over two days, and showed that under direct
sunlight it remained 1.7℃ below the surrounding temperature. In another set of tests, the researchers painted some parts of a pattern with the new paint, and others with a regular white paint of the same thickness. Using a special camera, they could see the pattern clearly, thanks to the difference in temperature between the two materials.
The team says that the new paint could not only help cool buildings, but prevent outdoor
electrical systems from overheating. But to ensure that it is commercially practicable, the researchers next plan to investigate how well it lasts out in the environment.
“The cost of our paint may be comparable to other commercial paints or even lower than
them,” says Xiulin Ruan, an author of the study. “The key is to ensure the reliability of the paint so that it is workable in long-term outdoor applications.”
28. What’s does the underlined word “drawbacks” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Mistakes. B. Burdens. C. Disadvantages. D. Difficulties.
29. How did the researchers study the effect of the new paint?
A. By analyzing special pictures. B. By conducting field tests.
C. By comparing costs of paints. D. By assessing its nature.

30. What can we infer from the result of the research?
A. The paint still needs testing. B. The paint can be used for long.
C. The paint is incomparable. D. The paint has reliable performance.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new white paint helps cool building. B. Researchers lower the costs of paints.
C. A regular paint solves heat consumption. D. Environment-friendly paints are on sale.
D
With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.
However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the
results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental
health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After
all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans
for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be attractive to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line of your local supermarket.
However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing
the conventional plastic bags. Then what is your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability? Any bag you already own.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented
too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through ‘green’ buying patterns, but it doesn’t seem to
be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on
increased well-being, but we don’t see that with ‘green’ consumption.”
“Owning every new ‘green’ product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.
32. Why does the writer mention “green” shopping habits?
A. To call on a green lifestyle. B. To praise people’s green efforts.
C. To introduce a social trend. D. To present a half true “green” truth.
33. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. The plastic bag bans are of no effect.
B. Using any bag you have is the best bet.
C. Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.
D. Growing cotton is far worse for the Earth.

34. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The sense of achievement. B. The sense of happiness.
C. The sense of relief. D. The sense of security.
35. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Less is More B. The Greener, The Happier
C. Happiness Guarantee D. What Are Green Products?

第三节 读后续写（满分20分）
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。
During a vacation one year, my mom and I left our home. We went on a two-week trip to the countryside where my mother had grown up. I was excited because I couldn’t wait to see my
grandparents. The last time I had visited them was when I was only three years old. I also wished to
go sightseeing, ride elephants, and do many more things there. They must be very wonderful.
With great wishes, we arrived at my grandparents’ house in the countryside. During the
first several days, I stayed in their house for fun. But soon, I got bored. I wondered what adventures were in store for me. One morning I said to my mom, “I really want to go outside to play.” My mom replied, “Stephanie, today we’re going to a school. The children there are studying in poor conditions. I decided to use some of my own money to buy some school supplies for them.” Hearing that, I was a bit unhappy. “We can go out and play another day. Today we need to spend a little time helping these poor children,” Mom added. I had no choice but to agree.
A few minutes later, my mom drove me to the school. On the way, she said, “We’d first
visit the school to know what kind of things these children want most. Then we’ll try to buy
them.” I thought to myself: what a vacation I am having! I come here to go sightseeing, not do charity work.
When we reached the school, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. There was only one small
building, which looked as if it were a hundred years old. There was no playground, no parking
lot. It was so small; the school I went to back home was a million times bigger. How unlucky the children here were! We met a teacher in the school, and my mom told him the purpose of our visit. The teacher was very glad and thanked us.
