Vincent van Gogh was born in 1853 in Zundert in the south of the Netherlands. He was unlucky to live only for 37 years and to discover his love for art at the age of 27. Therefore, he worked as an artist for only 10 years of his life.

During the Enlightenment Age, emphasis on literature, philosophy, science, fine arts and music became more widespread especially with the growing middle class. This means that Vincent van Gogh had lived in a flourishing artistic movement, which was supposed to help him succeed as an artist and become rich. On the contrary, he did not win fame as an artist. Although Vincent painted 900 paintings and more than 1,100 drawings, his works remained unknown and unsold and his brother Theo supported him financially during his lifetime.

Perhaps one of the reasons for his failure as an artist is his clumsy（笨拙的） behavior when he suffered from mental illness. Another reason is his short-tempered nature and rudeness which most of the time brought him bloody fights with his fellow Gauguin that ended up with cutting off Vincent's ears. Moreover, he was always dirty and not well-dressed, which made people avoid dealing with him and buying his artistic works. Furthermore, his poor health gave more blows to his life and caused an early death to such a great artist. But now in our age, his magnificent painting (Portrait of Dr: Gachet) is sold around 150 million dollars at auction.

Vincent van Gogh is just an example of the talented people who failed in their pursuit of glory.

4．What can we learn about Vincent before he was 27?

A．He showed no love for art. B．He enjoyed staying alone.

C．He had a great interest in art. D．He spent much time painting.

5．How many reasons are given to present Vincent's failure as an artist?

A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.

6．Why didn't people like to trade with Vincent?

A．He was in a mess. B．He became angry easily.

C．He didn't have fine works D．He often fought with others.

7．What does the story mainly tell us?

A．Good manners are more important than talents. 

B．A seed planted in darkness may bloom later.

C．Failure is the mother of success.    

D．One is never too old to learn.

C

Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name comes from the Italian word for heartbeats.

This year, the festival focuses on music from the 1600s to the 1900s. But cello player Franciaco Vila of Ecuador said the music has no geographic boundaries Vila added that the musicians get to know more about each other as they perform great music.

Anyone watching the Winter Olympics in Beijing, China over the last few days will have seen lots and lots of snow ----– man-made snow. Since the area gets little natural snow, this is the first time the Winter Olympics is taking place on almost 100% artificial snow.

This year’s Winter Olympics are being held in Beijing, China, and in two areas northwest of Beijing, Yangqing and Zhangjiakou. The areas get cold in the winter, but they don’t get a lot of snow. That’s because they’re not far from the Gobi Desert, and are generally very dry.

That meant some serious changes were needed to hold the Winter Olympics there. China took water from a reservoir which helps supply Beijing’s drinking water and sent it to a nearby river. To carry the water to the mountains for making snow, the country ran miles and miles of pipes. China says making the snow took about 49,000 gallons (185,500 liters) of water. Outside experts say it probably took a lot more water than that.

China hired an Italian company called TechnoAlpin to create the snow. TechnoAlpin created artificial snow at several earlier Winter Olympics. For the snow in this year’s Olympics, TechnoAlpin laid over 40 miles (64 kilometers) of pipe and brought in hundreds of snow-making machines. Even with all of those machines, making the snow for this year’s Games took seven weeks.

It’s useful to be able to make snow when nature doesn’t provide enough. But artificial snow isn’t the same as natural snow, which has more air and less water. An athlete used to natural snow might have to adjust their style on man-made snow.Still, the machines that make artificial snow are quite advanced. They can make several different kinds of snow depending on what’s needed for each sport. For example, the snow they make for downhill skiing is different from the snow made for cross-country skiing.

A few athletes have complained about the snow at this year’s Olympics. Most others say it’s been just fine.

In recent years, it has become more and more common to use artificial snow at winter sports events. That’s true even in places that used to have a lot of snow naturally. Some artificial snow was used in the Winter Olympics in 2010 and 2014 because of warm weather. In the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, roughly 90% of the snow was man-made.

As the world warms because of climate change, problems like this are expected to become far more common. Michael Mayr, who leads TechnoAlpin in Asia, says, “You could not have winter sports now without man-made snow.”

12．Why does the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics use artificial snow?

A．To save energy. B．To keep athletes happy.

C．To provide enough snow. D．To protect the environment.

13．To create the snow, China first has to________.

A．built a reservoir B．lay miles of pipes

C．find the source of water D．carry the water to the mountains

14．TechnoAlpin was chosen to create the snow for________.

A．the friendship between China and TechnoAlpin B．the request of the Olympic Committee

C．the lack of snow making company      D．TechnoAlpin’s rich experience

15．What does the author mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．The reasons of climate change. B．Some examples of warm weather.

C．The necessity of using artificial snow. D．The expectations of artificial snow.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Maybe you live in places where English is not the main language. When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still translating things from your first language into English，which can also sound unnatural.The good news is that thinking in English will bring you closer to fluency!  16 

Think in single words

Charles Thomas has taught English to Union members, children and teenagers for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are.

  17 

Think in sentences

For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, ''It' s such a beautiful day" and ''People are playing sports with their friends."   18 

Think in conversation

This is a great way to practice what you might say in a real conversation. For example, let' s say the imaginary person asks you a question like, ''What did you think of the talk show last night?"  19   Imagine the conversation and practice it in your head. You can do this out loud or in silence.

20 

''When you're doing it every day, over and over again, little by little, that's the key. Because when you make things a habit, it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English, '' Thomas says.

A．Practice it daily.

B．Speak English with a native speaker.

C．How would you answer?

D．As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

E．Start with nouns and then add in verbs, he suggests.

F．It is not very difficult, but it does take conscious effort and practice.

G．Once this becomes easy, move on to more difficult sentences.

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Germany. He is regarded 　36　 one of the greatest composers in the history of music. Unfortunately, he lost his hearing in his twenties. He didn’t give up, but he continued to write music until his death in 1827. Beethoven produced some    37  (amaze) pieces，including his Symphony No.9 in D minor.

One day in February 1824，Beethoven’s ninth symphony was   38  (final) completed. Before the performance, Beethoven was afraid that the performance would be a disaster.After all，he could not hear his orchestra—even if he is a musical genius.

The audience didn't hesitate  39  ( applaud)loudly as the famous composer walked out onto the stage for the first time in 12 years. For more than an hour, Beethoven jumped about in front of the orchestra, 　40　(wave) his arms wildly in the air, and madly turning the pages of his score.  

As the final, joyous note 　41　(signal) the end of the symphony, the audience jumped to their feet, clapping, cheering and waving their hats. 　42　Beethoven continued conducting, his head buried in the score. It was not until Caroline Unger, one of the 　43　(singer), took his arm and turned him to face the audience that the great man realised his symphony was 　44　success. 

However,most of them didn’t know  45   he was deaf! The one person in the room who didn't hear the symphony—and never would—was the very man who composed it.

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。

Being a 12-year-old girl is hard, and being a 12-year-old girl who has trouble in learning math makes it even harder.

I was standing in front of my mom with my unfinished math homework in my hand, feeling like I was standing in front of a roadblock (路障) that was taller than my imagination.

“I can’t do it, Mom! I don’t understand it!” Although I couldn’t see clearly through my teary eyes, I could still feel my mom’s face was filled with concern.

“It’s okay. I understand it’s hard. You know that I struggled with the same issue before, but it can’t decide who you are or how smart you are! Now repeat after me!” Mom said in a kind but demanding voice, “I did it!” She waited for me to follow her. When I tried to speak, the only thing that escaped my mouth was a small sob (抽噎). With one strong loving arm around me, my mom used the other hand to dry the tears that I was no longer able to control.

“Can I see your homework, honey?” As instructed, I slowly handed over the paper. After a short while, she excitedly announced, “You got the fifth question right!” Shrugging (耸肩) my shoulders, I replied, “Yeah, but the rest are probably wrong.” Mom smiled, “Although you got some answers wrong, it doesn’t make the answer you got right any less important!”

I wanted to believe her. It was almost easy to let her positive words affect me in the moments when it was just her and me. However, every time I was sitting next to the kids of my age and watching them complete work that I couldn’t understand, the confidence my mom gave me seemed to disappear suddenly.

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。

I told that to my mother, feeling upset.

Dear Jack,

I’m glad to know that you are interested in Chinese great scientists. I am more than happy to introduce to you my favorite scientist, whose name is Tu Youyou.

Tu Youyou, a great chemist and scientist, devoted most of her time to finding the cure for malaria. In 2015, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering artemisinin, which is the key to the treatment of malaria. So great is her contribution to the world that she has become an idol of many people, including me. Behind her success were numerous failures and setbacks, but never did she give up. Inspired by her story, I decided to study harder so as to realize my dream.

I hope her story can also have a positive effect on you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Li Hua

I told that to my mother, feeling upset. Mom told me that we would surely meet with problems which no one could avoid in our life! She said she had gone through the similar hardships, and she was still going through. But she believed she was smart enough to solve them. Therefore, it was important for me to know how excellent I could be and just face challenges with confidence! Then Mom asked for taking a look at my homework.

Hearing my mother’s words, I became inspired. Mom took the time to explain the questions patiently so I could totally understand them. When we got a question right each time, we would clap our hands as if I had just made an amazing achievement. By celebrating like this, I learned how to take every challenge, no matter how big or small. as a good chance to build up self-confidence. Eventually, I shouted out the sentence from my heart, “I did it!”
