A

If you are travelling in Britain,besides so many world-class things to see and do in London,planning a day trip away from it can also be worthwhile.

Stonehenge

Stonehenge consists of a group of huge standing stones.The 5,000-year-old stones are one of the world’s biggest mysteries that no one has figured out yet.While exploring Stonehenge,you can imagine wildly and decide for yourself how the stones came to be there and why.Although you can’t touch the stones,you can walk among them and feel the changes of seasons.

Windsor

Most people visit Windsor to see Windsor Castle,where the Queen spends most of her time.The castle itself could keep you busy for days.The best way to appreciate Windsor Castle is to approach via the Long Walk,a straight road where there are no cars,but you might see some deer.

Oxford

Oxford is best known for its world-famous university.The large student population keeps the atmosphere young and fresh,though there’s no shortage of history if you want it.30 colleges make up the university itself.A tour of the colleges is a must—HarryPotter fans will recognise various locations used in the movies.

Bath

Founded by the Romans,who used the area’s springs to create a spa retreat,Bath’s now the best tourist attraction of Southwest England.Visitors never miss the Roman Bath Complex,which is divided into four main parts—the Bath House,the Sacred Spring,the Roman Temple and the museum,which displays fascinating finds from the historical ruins of the city.

A water lily painting, WaterLilyPond,by Claude Monet, the French impressionist artist,was sold for more than $80 million on Tuesday,breaking the auction(拍卖) record for himself.WaterLilyPond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put up for sale during his lifetime.

The four paintings of Monet’s water lily garden were signed and dated by the artist in 1919.One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,while another was sold at auction in 1992 for $12.1 million and is in a private collection now.The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War Ⅱ.

“After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the telephone,the painting finally was sold to a collector for $80.4 million,setting a new world record price for the artist at auction,” said Olivier Camu,a scholar of impressionist art.

The last record for a Monet work was set in May when LePontduchemindeferàArgenteuil was sold for $41.4 million.

The painting sold on Tuesday was bought at a 1971 New York auction for $320,000.It has not been exhibited since then.

Monet’s later works had unique characteristics,especially LesGrandesDecorations,another good example,which was bedded in Musée de I’Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet’s death in 1926.

Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny,France.He selected different water lilies in an effort to get as many different coloured flowers as possible,specially creating the garden as a base for his paintings.

24.According to the passage,the last record for Monet’s paintings was 　　　. 

A.$12 million B.$39 million

C.$41.4 million D.$32 million

答案C

解析细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,莫奈的画作最后的记录是$41.4million。故选C项。

25.What can we learn about WaterLilyPond?

A.It was once auctioned in America.

B.It was cut into halves before World War Ⅱ.

C.It had been kept in New York for over 40 years.

D.It was once put in Musée de I’Orangerie.

26.What does Olivier Camu think of the auction?

A.Exciting. B.Inspiring.

C.Disappointing. D.Frightening.

答案A

解析观点态度题。根据第三段中的“Afterafiercebiddingbattlebetween...recordpricefortheartistatauction...”可知,拍卖的场面是“令人激动的”。故选A项。

A.Monet and His Water Lily Paintings

B.Monet-a Great Impressionist Artist

C.Monet’s Garden and Its Characteristics

D.WaterLilyPond-Monet’s Best-known Painting

答案A

解析标题归纳题。本文不仅提到了《睡莲池》这一幅画作,而且介绍了莫奈其他的睡莲作品,并在文章最后描述了莫奈创作睡莲图的过程。故A项“莫奈和他的睡莲画”作标题最合适。故选A项。

C

In kindergarten,my class was asked to draw pictures,showing what we wanted to be when we grew up.Our drawings were expected to display our dream occupations.I remember pictures of ballerinas dancing,firefighters putting out a blaze,and astronauts leaping across the moon.

My picture showed a figure with brown hair holding a box of orange juice beside a counter.Underneath was my handwriting:“When I grow up,I want to work at Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe(刷) orange juice across the scanner.” Out of everything,my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store.

When we are young,questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common.Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true.However,when we become teens,we are asked the very same questions twice as often.The difference is that now we are supposed to answer with confidence.

Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal.However,not all of us can be so sure.Even though I am in high school,I cannot answer with certainty.But I don’t consider that a bad thing.How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40?

When I think about the future,I definitely don’t see myself working at Market Basket,but in reality,if that was what would make me happy,I would do it.So,the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up,I will simply say “happy”.

Happiness is a destination for everyone.We may want to walk different paths in life,but we all want to be happy wherever we end up.Choose your path,but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely.Make a mistake or two and try new things.But always remember,if you’re not happy,you’re not at the end of your journey yet.

28.What did the author want to be when he was in kindergarten?

A.An astronaut. B.A firefighter.

C.A dancer. D.A cashier.

答案D

解析细节理解题。根据第二段的“WhenIgrowup,IwanttoworkatMarketBasketbecauseitwouldbefuntoswipeorangejuiceacrossthescanner.”可知,作者想在长大后到MarketBasket工作,因为在扫描仪上刷橙汁会很有趣。因此当作者还在幼儿园时想成为一名收银员。故选D项。

29.We can learn from the passage that 　　　. 

A.kindergartners are able to display their dream jobs with confidence

B.kindergartners have limited imagination of their dream occupations

C.teenagers are supposed to be clear about what they want to be

D.teenagers stick to the path they chose when they were young

答案C

解析推理判断题。根据第四段的“Teensareexpectedtoknowexactlywhatwewanttobe...”可知,青少年应该清楚自己想成为什么样的人。故选C项。

30.The author would probably agree that 　　　. 

A.the principle of growth lies in human choice

B.happiness is the meaning of existence

C.it is never too late to correct mistakes

D.your future depends on your dreams

答案B

解析推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Happinessisadestinationforeveryone.Wemaywanttowalkdifferentpathsinlife,butweallwanttobehappywhereverweendup.”可知,幸福是每个人的归宿。我们可能想在生活中走不同的路,但无论走到哪里,我们都想变得快乐。因此作者可能会赞同幸福是存在的意义。故选B项。

31.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Different stages of life. 

B.Career guidance.

C.The real goal of life. 

D.Career paths.

答案C

解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者在儿时想做一名收银员,但就未来讲作者并不希望自己真的在MarketBasket工作,而是想要简单的快乐,故本文主要讲的是“生活中真正的目标”。故选C项。

D

People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.

 About 5,000 years ago,the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing.They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.

The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting pictures together.When an important person died,scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But,for the Egyptians,pictures still had magic power.So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it. 

By the year 1,000 BCE,people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing.The signs they used were very easy to write,and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign,or letter,represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea,and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.

These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawings,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.

32.Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because 　　　. 

A.the hunters wanted to see the pictures

B.the painters were animal lovers

C.the painters wanted to show imagination

D.the pictures were thought to be helpful

答案D

解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Perhapsthepaintersthought...theseanimals.”可知,在墙上画画会被认为对他们有帮助。故选D项。

33.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.The Egyptian signs later became a particular alphabet.

B.The Egyptians liked to write comic strip stories.

C.The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one.

D.The Greeks copied their writing system from the Egyptians.

答案A

解析细节理解题。根据第三段可知B项错误。根据第四段第四、五句可知C、D两项错误,根据第二段可知选项A为正确答案。

34.In the last paragraph,the writer thinks that pictures 　　　. 

A.should be made comprehensible

B.should be made interesting

C.are of much use in our life

D.have disappeared from our life

答案C

解析推理判断题。文章最后一段讲述了图画在今天的用途,故选C项。

35.The underlined phrase “comic strip stories” in paragraph 3 probably means 　　　. 

A.a series of drawn pictures that tell a story

B.a funny drawing in a newspaper,often including humorous remarks

C.a short film that is made by photographing a series of drawings

D.a book of stories for children

答案A

解析词义猜测题。通过上下文可知,comicstripstories指“连环漫画故事”,故选A项。

FOURThingsYouCanDoToImproveYourPhotography

Photography is an art form that just gets better and better as technology improves.　36　 Here are a few you can try today to help you become a better artist tomorrow! 

Start a daily practice and set up unique challenges

One of the best things I did was setting up a daily practice.　37　 We feel that the lighting has to be perfect,the subject has to be perfect,and the station has to be perfect.But that is far from the truth.In order to improve your photography,all you have to do is practice.Practice regularly and consistently. 

Shoot in Manual mode

When I first started my business,I photographed in Auto mode.But once gave myself the permission to fail,learn,and try Manual mode,I never looked back.Manual mode is more than just a button on your camera.It is a chance for you to really understand how exposure works by controlling the elements such as shutter speed,f-stop,and ISO.　38　 

　39　 

There are many different ways to add a little creativity to your photography.Using double or triple exposures,shooting through elements,or even plying with shutter speed can be a way to be different.All these techniques help you break up the dullness of your own work.

Learn about light in different situations

As a photographer,you need to not only see light but also need to learn the art of reading light:the type of light,the quality of light,and also how the light will affect your final image.For the first few years of my business,I had a very limited knowledge of light.　40　 I learned very quickly that I needed to get out of my comfort zone and figure out how to photograph different lighting situations. 

A.Take time to connect with your subject

B.Try creative shooting in your photography

C.I hope these simple tips help you get confident in your photography.

D.Oftentimes,we are our biggest critic and try to wait for the most prefect chance.

E.The more you play around with these elements,the more you will learn about your own style of photography.

F.But living in Chicago,our summers are quite short,and autumns are usually a mix of rain and thunderstorms.

G.There are lots of simple and easy ways for you to improve your photography.

答案36.G　37.D　38.E　39.B　40.F

第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Vincent van Gogh is often remembered as an excellent painter.He was a lonely man who often went without food in order to buy paints,a man with few friends and a 　41　 temper.Van Gogh’s strong emotions 　42　 not only his life,but his paintings as well.Many of Van Gogh’s paintings were 　43　 by warm,yellow sunlight because he loved how it could 　44　 the world in different ways.His painting Sunflowers,for example,is 　45　 yellows and browns.These colours give the painting a feeling of warmth.However,the sunflowers are 　46　 dead and dying. 

The result is a painting that 　47　 the warmth of life that Van Gogh loved with the feelings of sadness that were all around him.It is a painting that is warm,beautiful and sad,all at the same time. 

Van Gogh’s most famous painting,TheStarryNight,　48　 this mixture of joy and sadness one step further.It is a landscape full of deep 　49　 and shadows which showed the sadness Van Gogh was feeling as he was painting,　50　 what he actually saw. 

This is why Van Gogh’s 　51　 in his painting look more imagined than real.The stars and moon in TheStarryNight are 　52　 bright,their light swirling above the darkening hills.A tree that looks like black fire cuts through the view of the night,interrupting its beauty. 

Because of his wild emotions,Van Gogh was not 　53　 during his life.He sold only one painting.However,people today who stand in front of Sunflowers or TheStarryNight can 　54　 the same joy and sadness as Van Gogh once did,　55　 he painted those deep blues and sunny yellows. 

41.A.gentle B.tender

C.short D.stormy

答案D

解析由本段第二句中的amanwithfewfriends及最后一段中的hiswildemotions等信息可知,他的脾气很坏。stormy“猛烈的;暴躁的”,符合语境。

42.A.developed B.affected

C.improved D.reduced

答案B

解析由下文所描述的凡·高画作的特点可知,凡·高强烈的情感不仅影响了他的生活,也同样影响了他的画作。affect“影响”,符合语境。

43.A.inspired B.taught

C.followed D.moved

答案A

解析设空处后面的“becausehelovedhowitcould　　　theworldindifferentways”中的it指的是前面提到的“warm,yellowsunlight”,说明凡·高喜欢温暖的黄色阳光。文章多次用warm,yellow来描述他的画作,由此可知,凡·高的许多画作受到温暖的黄色阳光的启发。inspire“激发;启发”,符合语境。 

44.A.show up B.turn up

C.cut up D.light up

答案D

解析此处表示“因为他热爱阳光能够照亮世界的不同方式”。lightup“点亮;照亮”,符合语境。

45.A.absorbed in B.filled with

C.made in D.good at

答案B

解析根据上文“ManyofVanGogh’spaintingswere　　　bywarm,yellowsunlight...”可推断出,他的作品充满了黄色和棕色。befilledwith是固定结构,意为“充满”,相当于befullof。 

46.A.actually B.simply

C.entirely D.finally

答案A

解析由However可知,上下文是转折关系,再根据上句内容可知此处表达的是事实上向日葵已经枯萎或即将枯死。actually“事实上;实际上”,符合语境。

47.A.communicates B.mixes

C.compares D.includes

答案B

解析由前一段可知,凡·高在《向日葵》的画作中将温暖的色彩与枯萎死亡的事物结合在一起,即画作将凡·高所热爱的生命的温暖与围绕在他身边的悲伤混合在一起。mix...with...“把……与……混合在一起”。故选B项。

48.A.continues B.stands

C.raises D.takes

答案D

解析第二段总结了凡·高所创作的《向日葵》的特点:warm,beautifulandsad。本段继续举例:他最著名的画作《星月夜》使这种喜悦和悲伤的融合更进一步。take...onestepfurther“将……向前推进一步”,为固定表达。故选D项。

49.A.greens B.blacks

C.blues D.reds

答案C

解析根据常识以及设空处后面的“showedthesadnessVanGoghwasfeelingashewaspainting”可知,这是一幅充满了深蓝色和阴影的风景画。blue“蓝色”。

50.A.rather than B.other than

C.as well as D.in addition

答案A

解析设空处后面的whatheactuallysaw与设空处前面的thesadnessVanGoghwasfeeling相互对应,此处表示这幅画表现了他作画时感受到的悲伤,而不是(ratherthan)他实际上所看到的。故选A项。

51.A.voices B.pictures

C.colours D.images

答案D

解析这就是为什么凡·高画作中的意象看起来更加虚幻而非真实。表示画作中的意象应用images。

52.A.seldom B.unusually

C.accordingly D.properly

答案B

解析从设空处后面的“theirlightswirlingabovethedarkeninghills”可知,月亮和星星的光盘旋在黝黑的山上。由前一句中的imagined可推断此处应选unusually,意为“不同寻常地”。

53.A.understood B.noticed

C.rewarded D.trusted

答案A

解析由设空处前面的wildemotions可知,凡·高在当时并不被别人理解(understood)。

54.A.experience B.recognise

C.accept D.determine

答案A

解析由设空处后面的“thesamejoyandsadnessasVanGoghoncedid”可知此处应选experience,表示体会、感受凡·高曾经感受到的快乐与悲伤。

55.A.though B.however

C.if D.as

答案D

解析然而,今天人们站在《向日葵》或是《星月夜》前能体会到凡·高在画那些深蓝色与明黄色时曾经感受到的同样的快乐与悲伤。表示“当……的时候”用as。

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。续写词数应为150左右。

A young painter lived in a small narrow house,making a living by painting portraits.

One day,a rich man came by and found the painter painting so vividly that he liked it very much and asked the painter to draw a portrait for him.They agreed on 10,000 dollars.

After a week,the portrait was done.The rich man came to take the painting as scheduled.At this moment,the rich man hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist,so he refused to pay 10,000 dollars.He thought,“The man in the painting is me.If I don’t buy this painting,no one will buy it.Why should I pay so much money for it?” So the rich man said,“I will only pay 3,000 dollars.”

The young painter was astonished,for he had never come across such things.He strongly stood his ground,expecting the rich man to keep the agreement and to be a trustworthy man.

“I can only pay 3,000 dollars to buy the painting.Speak no more.” The rich man thought he would win for sure,“I ask you at last,will you sell it 3,000 dollars or not?”

The young painter knew the rich man deliberately went back on his word,so he felt very angry.He said in a firm tone,“I have never seen such mean behaviour.You are nothing else than a thief.I would definitely never sell the painting to you.Today you break your word and someday you must pay 20 times for it.You will never be forgiven!”

“What a joke! 20 times will be 200,000! I won’t be stupid to pay 200,000 dollars to buy the painting!”

“Well,we’d better wait and see.” The young artist left angrily with tears in his eyes.

Yearslater,thepainterfinallybecamefamousanddecidedtoholdanexhibitionattheveryplace.The rich man happened to pay a visit to the artist’s exhibition,where he found one portrait marked 200,000 dollars.The man in the painting looked exactly the same as him.What made him surprised was that the title of the painting is Thief.He immediately thought of what had happened to the painter more than a dozen years before.He asked to buy the painting from the artist as scheduled.

However,muchtohisamazement,theartistrefusedhisrequest.Because the rich man broke his word and was not trustworthy,now he must pay 20 times for it.The rich man regretted breaking his promise and quickly apologised to the artist and paid 200,000 dollars to buy back the portrait.With an undefeated ambition,the young artist made the rich man bend his head.Finally,he forgave the rich man.The story tells us the importance of honesty.
