It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art ranging from 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor entranceLayout:The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th- to 15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.The East Wing houses 18th- to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh.Opening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10am to 6pm (Fridays 10am to 9pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.Getting There:Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk), Leicester Square (3-minute walk), Embankment (7-minute walk), and Piccadilly Circus (8-minute walk).21. In which century’s collection can you see religious paintings? A. The 13th. B. The 17th. C. The 18th. D. The 20th.22. Where are Leonardo da Vinci’s works shown? A. In the East Wing. B. In the main West Wing. C. In the Sainsbury Wing. D. In the North Wing.23. Which underground station is closest to the National Gallery? A. Piccadilly Circus. B. Leicester Square. C. Embankment. D. Charing Cross.BEdinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, and has long been a favorite destination of tourists from all over the world, as well as an important cultural and political center.With its museums, shops, wonderful historic castle, and many pubs and restaurants, there are many things for visitors to enjoy all year round. And of course, as it is in Scotland, there are a wide range of whiskies to try!However, there is more to Edinburgh than historic monuments and tourism. Each year, the Edinburgh Festival takes place in the city. In late summer, for three weeks, the festival presents classical music, theater, opera and dance at six major theaters and concert halls—and several smaller ones—throughout the city. Whatever your cultural tastes, you are sure to find something to enjoy.Local talent is always represented at the Edinburgh Festival giving Scottish composers and playwrights the opportunity to showcase their work and gain recognition from a wider audience.In addition, orchestras (管弦乐队) and theater companies come from all over the world to perform at the prestigious (有名望的) festival. Last year saw the arrival of orchestras from the United States and Germany. The festival has now become an important part of Scotland’s economy as well as its culture. Last year’s festival generated over ￡130 million expenditure in Edinburgh alone, and across Scotland nearly 2,900 jobs exist as a direct result of the festival.The festival is so popular that it has become, in some ways, a victim of its own success. The huge interest in performing there led to the setting up of a rival (竞争的) festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fortunately, demand for live entertainment during the summer is so great that both festivals continue to thrive (兴旺). The Fringe tends to feature mostly comedy and experimental works. Yet it can lead to great things ---- many famous and successful comedians and artists, such as Rowan Atkinson, better known as TV’s Mr. Bean, started their careers in small venues at the Fringe.24. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The festival is economically important for Scotland. B. Many people in Scotland rely on the festival for their jobs. C. Local performers challenge bands from all over the world. D. One is sure to find something to enjoy during the festival.25. What does the underlined part “a victim of its own success” most probably mean? A. A prestigious band for its successful performance. B. An unsuccessful performance without good preparation. C. An orchestra from another country performing in Edinburgh. D. A festival that causes trouble for itself because of great success.26. What we can learn from the passage is that ________. A. the Edinburgh Festival attracts audience across the world B. both festivals win good recognition from a wide audience C. the Fringe was set up in the hope of accepting the challenge D. many comedians and artists took off overnight at the Fringe27. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. Edinburgh ------ A City of Culture B. Edinburgh ------ A Tourist Attraction C. Edinburgh ------ A Political Center D. Edinburgh ------ A Place to Try WhiskiesC What historical site impresses you most? I’ve always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt. A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them. Like millions of other tourists, I marveled (赞叹) at stone-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilization. But popularity might be the destruction of such archaeological treasures. Take Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings for example. It lay untouched for more than 3,000 years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922. Now more than 1,000 people a day walk through it. But as more and more people visit, the temperature and humidity inside the tomb change. As a result, the beautifully decorated plaster is coming away from the rock.In order to preserve its heritage, a replica (复制品) of the monument is being opened about 1 kilometer away from the actual burial site. Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun’s tomb and used the data to recreate it. Adam Lowe from the organization behind the project says the copy is identical to the original. He believes visitors will want to become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction. So they won’t mind seeing a replica. But for historian Tom Holland, a copy is still a copy. He believes that although preservation is important, there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun’s tomb. He says it was built by people who believed in the world of the spirits, the dead and the supernatural. You don’t have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated (使圣化) and has a particular quality that can’t be reproduced. What about you? Would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?28. What may account for the destruction of some archaeological treasures like Tutankhamun’s tomb? A. Climate change. B. Copies. C. Popularity. D. Thieves.29. What measures have been taken to preserve the heritage of Tutankhamun’s tomb? A. Decorating the monument again. B. Building a replica of the monument. C. Limiting the number of visitors. D. Moving the tomb away from the actual site.30. The underlined word “identical” is closest in meaning to ________. A. superior B. sensitive C. exposed D. similar31. Historian Tom Holland may hold the opinion that ________. A. some unique ancient places can’t simply be replaced by replicas B. visitors are advised to see replicas because preservation is first C. ancient civilizations are consecrated and can’t be redecorated D. visitors to ancient civilizations must believe in a god or godsD It was about midday. I’d left work early in the morning to cash a check. I walked along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers in there, a pretty unusual number for those central banks. I waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk. He had a really strange expression on his face—just sort of a blank stare. I thought he was looking at me until I realized he was staring over my shoulder.I began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor. Following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks. They were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol. Whether or not they said anything I can’t remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I don’t know. I put my hands up but I just didn’t know what to do. For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing. I remember wondering who was on the other end of the line. Nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise deathly quiet. Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and bank clerks to start filling their bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of an anxiety attack and started swearing at them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on. They jumped back over the counter. One of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over. The other two swore at him again. Then they left through the door, warning us, “Don’t move. Stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.” Then they just disappeared and there was total silence.32. What could make the writer sense that something was about to happen? A. The small number of customers. B. The total silence in the bank. C. The bank clerk’s unusual behavior. D. The constant ringing of the phone.33. What was the outside bank guard’s reaction to the armed robbers? A. He was frightened to death by the robbers. B. He organized the bank clerks to fight back. C. He shot at the robbers with the machine gun. D. He flew through the door to catch the robbers.34. The man covering us with the gun at the door swore at the other two because ________. A. he was afraid of getting less money B. he was too anxious to leave the bank C. one of his fellows slipped on the floor D. the phone kept ringing at the moment35. From the passage we can know that ________. A. there were usually less customers in the midday hour B. the writer didn’t follow like sheep to put his hands up C. the bank clerks were too busy to answer the telephone D. three armed men robbed the central bank in broad daylight第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。The Open Hand — a Universal SignWhen meeting people at the airport, 36 We know that a smile is usually a sign that people feel friendly and happy, but what if we don’t know who the new person is? 37 What if we are meeting a stranger in an unfamiliar place? Sometimes people are dangerous and humans have to find ways to protect themselves. We have to make sure we can trust people we do not know, 38 Showing our hands means that we are not armed（武装）. In many cultures today, the Western custom of shaking hands is used. We use our right hand, which is usually stronger than the left one. If we are using our hand this way, it cannot be holding a knife or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, 39 Not all cultures use the handshake, 40 Japanese people might cover one hand with the other and, depending on whom they are greeting, bow slightly or quite low. In India, Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads. A Muslim will touch his heart, mouth and forehead（前额）to show respect. Even young people in the West now give each other the “high five”, when they slap（拍）each other’s hands high in the air. They are all keeping their hands busy. In almost all cultures, to smile and show an open right hand means, “Welcome, you are safe with me.”A. What if I want to show that I am bored?B. most people smile and shake hands with people they meet.C. and that the other person can trust us.D. What if we are not introduced by a friend?E. and people in many Asian cultures do not always touch another person.F. and we have to show that we are not dangerous.G. nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people.第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My 8-year-old son, Kevin, has made friends with some boys in the neighborhood.

This can happen at a bus stop, in a restaurant or at a supermarket. Why is that? We’ve probably got two reasons. This first reason is supposed to be that people are trying to make good use of time. And the second one may be that people show little interest in what’s happening around them. However, focusing only on what’s on our mobile phones may not only do harm to our eyesight, but also prevent us from communicating normally. Therefore, some other ways to kill time are strongly suggested. For me, chatting with others is good replacement of playing always with mobile phones.

Fortunately, demand for live entertainment during the summer is so great that both festivals continue to thrive (兴旺). The Fringe tends to feature mostly comedy and experimental works. Yet it can lead to great things ---- many famous and successful comedians and artists, such as Rowan Atkinson, better known as TV’s Mr. Bean, started their careers in small venues at the Fringe.24. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The festival is economically important for Scotland. B. Many people in Scotland rely on the festival for their jobs. C. Local performers challenge bands from all over the world. D. One is sure to find something to enjoy during the festival.25. What does the underlined part “a victim of its own success” most probably mean? A. A prestigious band for its successful performance. B. An unsuccessful performance without good preparation. C. An orchestra from another country performing in Edinburgh. D. A festival that causes trouble for itself because of great success.26. What we can learn from the passage is that ________. A. the Edinburgh Festival attracts audience across the world B. both festivals win good recognition from a wide audience C. the Fringe was set up in the hope of accepting the challenge D. many comedians and artists took off overnight at the Fringe27. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A. Edinburgh ------ A City of Culture B. Edinburgh ------ A Tourist Attraction C. Edinburgh ------ A Political Center D. Edinburgh ------ A Place to Try WhiskiesC What historical site impresses you most? I’ve always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt. A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them. Like millions of other tourists, I marveled (赞叹) at stone-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilization. But popularity might be the destruction of such archaeological treasures. Take Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings for example. It lay untouched for more than 3,000 years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922. Now more than 1,000 people a day walk through it. But as more and more people visit, the temperature and humidity inside the tomb change. As a result, the beautifully decorated plaster is coming away from the rock.In order to preserve its heritage, a replica (复制品) of the monument is being opened about 1 kilometer away from the actual burial site. Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun’s tomb and used the data to recreate it. Adam Lowe from the organization behind the project says the copy is identical to the original. He believes visitors will want to become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction. So they won’t mind seeing a replica. But for historian Tom Holland, a copy is still a copy. He believes that although preservation is important, there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun’s tomb. He says it was built by people who believed in the world of the spirits, the dead and the supernatural. You don’t have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated (使圣化) and has a particular quality that can’t be reproduced. What about you? Would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?28. What may account for the destruction of some archaeological treasures like Tutankhamun’s tomb? A. Climate change. B. Copies. C. Popularity. D. Thieves.29. What measures have been taken to preserve the heritage of Tutankhamun’s tomb? A. Decorating the monument again. B. Building a replica of the monument. C. Limiting the number of visitors. D. Moving the tomb away from the actual site.30. The underlined word “identical” is closest in meaning to ________. A. superior B. sensitive C. exposed D. similar31. Historian Tom Holland may hold the opinion that ________. A. some unique ancient places can’t simply be replaced by replicas B. visitors are advised to see replicas because preservation is first C. ancient civilizations are consecrated and can’t be redecorated D. visitors to ancient civilizations must believe in a god or godsD It was about midday. I’d left work early in the morning to cash a check. I walked along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers in there, a pretty unusual number for those central banks. I waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk. He had a really strange expression on his face—just sort of a blank stare. I thought he was looking at me until I realized he was staring over my shoulder.I began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor. Following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks. They were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol. Whether or not they said anything I can’t remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I don’t know. I put my hands up but I just didn’t know what to do. For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing. I remember wondering who was on the other end of the line. Nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise deathly quiet. Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and bank clerks to start filling their bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of an anxiety attack and started swearing at them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on. They jumped back over the counter. One of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over. The other two swore at him again. Then they left through the door, warning us, “Don’t move. Stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.” Then they just disappeared and there was total silence.32. What could make the writer sense that something was about to happen? A. The small number of customers. B. The total silence in the bank. C. The bank clerk’s unusual behavior. D. The constant ringing of the phone.33. What was the outside bank guard’s reaction to the armed robbers? A. He was frightened to death by the robbers. B. He organized the bank clerks to fight back. C. He shot at the robbers with the machine gun. D. He flew through the door to catch the robbers.34. The man covering us with the gun at the door swore at the other two because ________. A. he was afraid of getting less money B. he was too anxious to leave the bank C. one of his fellows slipped on the floor D. the phone kept ringing at the moment35. From the passage we can know that ________. A. there were usually less customers in the midday hour B. the writer didn’t follow like sheep to put his hands up C. the bank clerks were too busy to answer the telephone D. three armed men robbed the central bank in broad daylight第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。The Open Hand — a Universal SignWhen meeting people at the airport, 36 We know that a smile is usually a sign that people feel friendly and happy, but what if we don’t know who the new person is? 37 What if we are meeting a stranger in an unfamiliar place? Sometimes people are dangerous and humans have to find ways to protect themselves. We have to make sure we can trust people we do not know, 38 Showing our hands means that we are not armed（武装）. In many cultures today, the Western custom of shaking hands is used. We use our right hand, which is usually stronger than the left one. If we are using our hand this way, it cannot be holding a knife or a gun. It shows that we trust the other person, 39 Not all cultures use the handshake, 40 Japanese people might cover one hand with the other and, depending on whom they are greeting, bow slightly or quite low. In India, Hindu people join their hands in front of their faces and bow their heads. A Muslim will touch his heart, mouth and forehead（前额）to show respect. Even young people in the West now give each other the “high five”, when they slap（拍）each other’s hands high in the air. They are all keeping their hands busy.

Suddenly I see heavy smoke rising about several hundreds meters away. “There must be a fire!” I thought. Getting the nearer, I saw a shop was on fire. There was many people standing by the roadside watched. Six firefighters were struggling to put out the fire. I heard someone say they had fought for about an hour and two firefighters had rushed into the shop to rescue a woman. After a while, they rushed out supporting the woman. But one firefighter got injured serious. All the people and I whom saw what happened were deeply moved by their bravery.

This can happen at a bus stop, in a restaurant or at a supermarket. Why is that? We’ve probably got two reasons. This first reason is supposed to be that people are trying to make good use of time. And the second one may be that people show little interest in what’s happening around them. However, focusing only on what’s on our mobile phones may not only do harm to our eyesight, but also prevent us from communicating normally. Therefore, some other ways to kill time are strongly suggested. For me, chatting with others is good replacement of playing always with mobile phones.
