A
The following four famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece—have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
The Arnolfini Portrait of Jan van Eyck, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society with Jan van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas(画布), and a moderately abstract landscape painting of an impressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts(描绘) the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed during the war. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, it has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.
21. Which of the following paintings was produced the earliest?
A. Guernica.
B. The Harvesters.
C. The Starry Night.
D. The Arnolfini Portrait.
解析:细节理解题。四幅画的创作时间The Arnolfini Portrait:in 1434;
The Starry Night: between 1889 and 1890;The Harvesters:in 1565;
Guernica:in 1937。即The Arnolfini Portrait是最早创作的画。故选D。
答案:D
22. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?
A. It was painted on wood in oils.
B. It described the painter’s life in hospital.
C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.
D. It was given away to a museum by a collector.
解析:推理判断题。根据The Starry Night中的“When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works.”可知,1941年,当纽约现代艺术博物馆从一位私人收藏家手中买这幅画时,它还不是很出名,但后来却成了凡·高最著名的作品之一。故The Starry Night在1941年之前没有被广泛认可。故选 C。
答案:C
23. Who created the painting describing the harvest season?
A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
B. Vincent van Gogh.
C. Jan van Eyck.
D. Pablo Picasso.
解析:细节理解题。根据The Harvesters中的“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.”可知,老勃鲁盖尔画了这幅描绘丰收季节的画。故选 A。
答案:A
B
In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and concentrate on my courses. I was quickly regarded as a “brain”. I did so well that by the end of the senior year I had perfect grades and enough credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.
But in early June of the senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked me to give a speech at graduation. I gaped(目瞪口呆地凝视) at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I mumbled something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have ruined my perfect record.
I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honour with five other students. And my friend Judy would then give her own, full-length speech.
The graduation day soon arrived. I’d been practising my speech for days, and I had it memorised. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and headed back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of—I spoke in front of hundreds of people.
Although I didn’t realise it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to participate in class at college, to give verbal reports, and to eventually break free from my shyness. I would never have chosen to give a speech at graduation ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I dread. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.
24. Why was the author called a “brain”?
A. She was a bookworm all the time.
B. She was the head of her small group.
C. She did a good job in her studies.
D. She did more coursework for good grades.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知,在高三那年结束之前“我”取得了优异的成绩,拿到了足够的学分,从而可以免去整整四分之一的课程作业。由此可知,“我”被认为是一个“聪明的学生”是因为“我”在学习方面表现出色。故选C。
答案:C
25. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. She ruined her health because of studying hard.
B. She got the reward as she had expected.
C. She was grateful for giving a speech.
D. She wasn’t good at physics at school.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知,“我”嘟哝了几句话就逃出了办公室,责怪自己忽略了物理,这门学科肯定破坏了“我”的完美纪录。据此可以判断,作者不擅长物理。故选D。
答案:D
26. How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech?
A. Scared. B. Moved.
C. Excited. D. Embarrassed.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第五、六、七句可知,“我”设法走到讲台而没有跌倒,面对着同学们,“我”的声音有点颤抖。据此可以推断,演讲开始时“我”感到害怕。A项意为“害怕的,恐惧的”,故选A。
答案:A
27. What did the speech bring to the author at last?
A. She had nothing to fear in life.
B. She got rid of her sense of shyness.
C. She won enough college credits.
D. She desired to become a speaker.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知,高中毕业典礼上演讲的成功完成给了“我”最终摆脱羞怯的信心。故选B。
答案:B


C

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. However, at over 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa. 
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse year by year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel(嵌板) on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
　　Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, and many are attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision is excellent at picking up details, but less suitable to look at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
　　However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis Ⅰ in 1519.
　　In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum and hid it in his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.
　　During World War Ⅱ, the French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
　　Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.

28. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. The Mona Lisa is losing its value.
B. The Mona Lisa is being damaged after so many years.
C. The Mona Lisa is getting more valuable with years passing.
D. The Mona Lisa will rot away.
解析:推理判断题。首先,由第一段第二句的转折词However判断,本句的意思应和前面的“美貌可以永恒”意义相反。再根据第二、三段的介绍说《蒙娜丽莎》的状况随着岁月的流逝在恶化,画板已变形,因此判断此处是指:随着岁月的流逝,名画《蒙娜丽莎》已受到了损坏。故选B。
答案:B
29. Which of the following is TRUE about the smile of the Mona Lisa?
A. It can be seen by indirect vision.
B. It can be seen at a distance.
C. It can be seen by direct vision.
D. It can be seen in shadows.
解析:推理判断题。文章第四段提到,人们直视《蒙娜丽莎》时,往往看不到微笑,原因是当时达·芬奇采用了阴影画法,因此只有人们不直视《蒙娜丽莎》时,她才似乎在微笑。故选A。
答案:A
30. Why is it not easy to repair the painting?
A. Experts haven’t noticed the changes in its shape as visitors do.
B. It is likely to be stolen again when it’s under repair.
C. It is uncertain which country should take charge.
D. Experts aren’t sure about the materials and the chemical state of them.
解析:细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.”可知,专家们不确定这位意大利艺术家(绘制这幅画)所用的材料及它们目前的化学状态。故选D。
答案:D
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa.
B. People are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa.
C. Some mysteries remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa.
D. Many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa.
解析:推理判断题。最后一段的意思是《蒙娜丽莎》像许多老妇人一样,还有一些有趣的秘密等待人们去揭开。故选C。
答案:C
D
(2023年·广州二模)
In 1977, Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard graduate, decided to investigate the thought processes of another creature by talking to it. To do this, she would teach a one-year-old African gray parrot(鹦鹉), Alex, to reproduce the sounds of the English language.
Pepperberg bought Alex in a pet store, where she let the store’s assistant choose him because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile(徒劳的).
But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart. Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.
In one demonstration, Pepperberg held up a green key and a green cup for him to look at. “What’s the same?” she asked. “Co-lour,” Alex responded without hesitation.“What’s different?” Pepperberg asked. “Shape,” Alex quickly replied. His voice had the sound of a cartoon character. But the words—and what can only be called the thoughts—were entirely his. Many of Alex’s skills, such as his ability to understand the concepts of “same” and “different”, are rare in the animal world. Living in a complex society, parrots like Alex must keep track of changing relationships and environments.
During the demonstration, as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain, Alex spoke up. “Talk clearly!” he commanded, when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching mispronounced the word “green”. Alex knew all the answers himself and was getting bored. “He’s moody,” said Pepperberg, “so he interrupts the others, or he gives the wrong answer just to be difficult.” Pepperberg was certainly learning more about the mind of a parrot, but like the parent of a troublesome teenager, she was learning the hard way.　
32. Why did Pepperberg let the shop assistant choose the bird?
A. A bird with a small brain was needed.
B. She wanted a very smart bird for her study.
C. A research subject should be randomly chosen.
D. The shop assistant was better at choosing birds.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“because she didn’t want other scientists to say that she had intentionally chosen an especially smart bird”可知,佩珀堡在买鸟的时候让店员来挑选,因为她不想让其他科学家说她是故意挑选了一只特别聪明的鸟,所以店员挑选就不知道这个是不是聪明的,保证了研究对象选择的随机性。故选C。
答案:C
33. What might most researchers think of Pepperberg’s study at first?
A. Innovative. B. Practical.
C. Costly. D. Fruitless.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“But with Pepperberg’s patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 English words.”中的转折连词“But”推断出第二段最后一句“Given that Alex’s brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg’s communication study would be futile.”的意思应该为:考虑到亚历克斯的大脑只有核桃大小,大多数研究人员认为佩珀堡的交流研究是徒劳的。故选D。
答案:D
34. Which of the following aspects of Alex’s ability did Pepperberg’s study focus on?
A. Understanding concepts.
B. Calculating.
C. Recognizing voices.
D. Creating English words.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句 “Pepperberg wanted to get inside his mind and learn more about a bird’s understanding of the world.” 可知,佩珀堡想要了解他的内部思想以及更多地了解鸟对世界的理解。由此可推断出, 佩珀堡的研究关注的重点是鹦鹉的思想,也就是鹦鹉对概念的理解。 故选A。
答案:A
35. What caused Pepperberg’s struggle in her study?
A. Her instructions had to be easy for Alex.
B. Alex was sometimes too clever to control.
C. Alex would point out other birds’ mistakes.
D. She had trouble understanding Alex’s mood.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,亚历克斯喜怒无常,所以它会打断别人,或者只是为了刁难别人而给出错误的答案,以至无法控制。佩珀堡肯定对鹦鹉的思维有了更多的了解,但就像一个麻烦少年的父母一样,她研究得很辛苦。由此可推断出佩珀堡的研究难点在于这只鹦鹉太聪明难以掌控。故选B。
答案: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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art galleries are places in which artists can display all types of works of art, including paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, etc. 36. At the same time, however, each artwork must be protected from exposure to too much light since that can cause works to fade and therefore get ruined. 37.
The most common form of lighting used to light up the artwork is indoor spotlights on tracks attached to the ceiling near where the work is being displayed. 38. It permits the lights to be moved more easily when the light patterns require adjusting. Recessed(嵌入的) lights in walls and ceilings can be useful so long as they are not fixed in place but can instead be easily moved to create ideal light patterns. Most art gallery directors state that a combination of tracked and recessed light equipment is ideal because the tracked lights focus directly on the artwork while the recessed lights are used in the nearby walls to provide a surrounding light source. 39.
How to angle the lights depends upon the height of the ceiling and the size of the artwork. Caution must be taken to avoid creating too many areas with shadows or to have the lights cause a glare on the artwork. Besides, the lights should not be bare bulbs(电灯泡) burning directly on the artwork but should be made in some way to make the lighting softer. According to experts, low voltage(电压) bulbs are the best to use when lighting artworks. 40. Thus artworks should be placed in a room where sunlight cannot directly hit them.

A. It can make the displays attractive.
B. Using tracked lighting is beneficial.
C. Light plays a key role in art galleries.
D. This light source can better improve the mood surrounding the work.
E. To better improve their appearance, the display area needs to be well lit.
F. Finding a happy medium between not enough light and too much of it requires considerable skill and experience.
G. Above all, natural light should be avoided since direct sunlight will damage artworks, particularly paintings, over time.
36. 解析:根据下文中的转折词“however”和“exposure to too much light”可知,这里是说美术馆的光线问题,这里的“too much light”和E项中的“needs to be well lit”构成转折。故选E。
答案:E
37. 解析:根据上文探讨光线的问题以及下文首句“The most common form of lighting used to light up the artwork ...”可知,应选F。
答案:F
38. 解析:根据上文中的“indoor spotlights on tracks”以及下文中的“It permits the lights to be moved more easily ...”可知,B项承上启下,故选B。
答案:B
39. 解析:根据上文对两种位置的灯光所起作用的对比以及上文中的“surrounding light source”可知,D项中的“light source”和“surrounding”是解题关键,故选D。
答案:D
40. 解析:根据最后一句“Thus artworks should be placed in a room where sunlight cannot directly hit them.”可知,这里是说日光问题,G项中的“direct sunlight will damage artworks”阐释了原因,故选G。
答案:G

第二节(满分25分)
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。
When I arrived at the large hospital kitchen at 6 a.m., Rose was already checking name tags on the trays(托盘).
“Hi, I’m Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose’s reputation for being impossible to work with. “I’m scheduled to work with you this week.”
Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn’t pleased to see a student worker.
“What do you want me to do? Start with the coffee?” I asked.
Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.
I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled, “That's not the way to make coffee.” She stepped in and took over.
Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.
Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose.
Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. “What shall I do?” The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose.
Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things in Rose’s way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love.
Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away.
Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.
The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.

One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room. Instead of her blue uniform, she was wearing street clothes. I looked at her in surprise. “Aren’t you working today?” “I’ve got another job and won’t be working here any more,” she said as she walked over and gave me a quick hug. “I just come here to say goodbye. You are the one person I will truly miss. You are the one person I wish I could take with me.” Then she turned abruptly and walked out of the door. 
Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly. That summer, I learned a lesson I’ve never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose: annoying, demanding, unlovable on the outside, yet hurting inside. Just as the saying goes, “Every rose has its thorn.” And every man’s character has a part that you can’t stand. I’ve found that a warm blanket of love is the best way to nurture a rose.
