My greatest regret in life is that I failed t tell my superb teachers hw much they cntributed t my early educatin.
Ruth Hammerman taught English t the eighth-graders. She was the first t shw me the rules f what Evelyn Waugh called ur “rich and delicate language.” She was a n-nnsense instructr. Unlike cmmn teachers, she diagramed （用图表展示） sentences s we culd knw the grammar rules. She never seemed t be tired f the simple pleasures f sharing her learning.
Under her influence, I had the strng belief that language needs t be well-spken and prperly written. Yet ver the years I never made the effrt t find her and t express my thankfulness fr what she did fr me. Tw years after being in her class, I began the study f Latin and French, and the fundatin she prvided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never lked back.
In high schl I tk advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brught t his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis. Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us t nte there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pinted ut the care Racine devted t structure. Years later I made the same pint—giving Mr. Miller credit—in a cllege French class, and my prfessr was surprised by my understanding f the play. Mr. Miller taught us t enjy literature with particular pints f view. Yet I never made the effrt in later years t tell him what he meant t me.
Mr. Miller is certainly lng dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman wuld likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried t find her but was unsuccessful.
I am certain my act is cmmn. Peple ften frget t express lve and thankfulness t their teachers. I ught t have tld Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller hw much they did fr me. I suppse they knew their wrk was effective because they believed in what they were ding. Nw I appreciate hw special they were.
41．What is the mst beneficial part t the authr in Miss Hammerman’s class?
A．Grammar.B．Writing.C．Speaking.D．Reading.
42．What is special abut Mr. Miller’s French class?
A．He asked students t cunt lines.B．He stressed the imprtance f play.
C．He analyzed literature in a new way.D．He shwed great devtin t students.
43．What des the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer t?
A．Preparing the article.B．Lking fr the teachers.
C．Failing t thank teachers.D．Cpying teachers’ pints.
44．What best describes the tw teachers accrding t the text?
A．Creative.B．Frank.C．Humrus.D．Strict.
45．What is the authr’s purpse f writing the text?
A．T shw lve fr French literature.B．T explre the meaning f educatin.
C．T explain why teachers are imprtant.D．T share memries f the tw teachers.

In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcme surce f prtein at winter’s end. S it’s n surprise that cultures arund the wrld celebrate spring by hnring the egg.
Sme traditins are simple, like the red eggs that get baked int Greek Easter breads. Others prmte the egg int a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-cvered “eggs” that were favred by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient frm f egg art cmes t us frm Ukraine. Fr centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing cmplicated patterns n eggs. Cntemprary artists have fllwed this traditin t create eggs that speak t the anxieties f ur age: Life is precius, and delicate. Eggs are, t.
“There’s smething abut their delicate nature that appeals t me,” says New Yrker cartnist Rz Chast. Several years ag, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditinal Ukrainian technique t draw her very mdern characters. “I’ve brken eggs at every stage f the prcess—frm the very beginning t the very, very end.”
But there’s an appeal in that weakness. “There’s part f this sickening hrrr f knwing yu’re walking n the edge with this, that I kind f like, knwing that it culd all fall apart at any secnd.” Chast’s designs, such as a wrried man alne in a tiny rwbat, reflect that delicateness.
Traditinal Ukrainian decrated eggs als spke t thse fears. The cmplex patterns were believed t ffer prtectin against evil.
“There’s an ancient legend that as lng as these eggs are made, evil will nt take ver in the wrld,” says Jan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter wh has been painting eggs fr ver 60 years, having learned the art frm her Ukrainian relatives.
Althugh the traditin dates back t 300 B. C., the ld symbls n the eggs still reflect their gd wishes. A decrated egg with a bird n it, given t a yung married cuple, is a wish fr children. A decrated egg thrwn int the field wuld be a wish fr a gd harvest.
46．Why d peple in many cultures prize the egg?
A．It is a welcme sign f the cming f spring.B．It is their majr surce f prtein in winter.
C．It can easily be made int a wrk f art.D．It can bring wealth and hnr t them.
47．What d we learn abut the decrated “eggs” in Russia?
A．They are shaped like jewel cases.B．They are cherished by the rich.
C．They are heavily painted in red.D．They are favred as a frm f art.
48．Why have cntemprary artists cntinued the egg art traditin?
A．Eggs serve as an enduring symbl f new life.B．Eggs have an val shape appealing t artists.
C．Eggs reflect the anxieties f peple tday.D．Eggs prvide a unique surface t paint n.
49．Why des Chast enjy the prcess f decrating eggs?
A．She never knws if the egg will break befre the design is cmpleted.
B．She can add multiple details t the design t cmmunicate her idea.
C．She always derives great pleasure frm designing smething new.
D．She is never sure what the final design will lk like until the end.
50．What d we learn frm the passage abut egg-painting?
A．The Russians prefer baking red eggs int breads.
B．It has a histry f ver tw thusand years.
C．It is the mst time-hnred frm f fancy art.
D．It is especially favred as a church decratin.

Trees shuld nly be pruned（修剪） when there is a gd and clear reasn fr ding s and, frtunately, the number f such reasns is small. Pruning invlves the cutting away f vergrwn and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encuraged by the thught that mre damage results frm ding it unnecessarily than frm leaving the tree t grw in its wn way.
First, pruning may be dne t make sure that trees have a desired shape r size. The bject may be t get a tree f the right height, and at the same time t help the grwth f small side branches which will thicken its appearance r give it a special shape. Secndly, pruning may be dne t make the tree healthier. Yu may cut diseased r dead wd, r branches that are rubbing against each ther and thus cause wunds. The health f a tree may be encuraged by remving branches that are blcking up the centre and s preventing the free mvement f air.
One result f pruning is that an pen wund is left n the tree and this prvides an easy entry fr disease, but it is a wund that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as t whether the tree will live r die, s that there is a perid when the tree is at risk. It shuld be the aim f every gardener t reduce that risk f death as far as pssible. It is imprtant t make the area, which has been pruned, smth and clean, fr healing will be slwed dwn by rughness. Yu shuld allw the cut surface t dry fr a few hurs and then paint it with ne f the substances available frm garden shps prduced especially fr this purpse. Pruning is usually dne in winter, fr then yu can see the shape f the tree clearly withut interference frm the leaves and als it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this des happen, it is, f curse, impssible t paint them prperly.
51．Why shuld pruning be dne?
A．T make the tree grw taller.B．T imprve the shape f the tree.
C．T get rid f the small branches.D．T make the small branches thicker.
52．Trees will becme unhealthy if the gardener ______.
A．gives a tree a special shape and a definite height
B．remves small side branches and makes a tree lk less thick
C．allws t many branches t grw in the middle
D．has a tree surrunded by many ther trees
53．Why is a special material painted n the tree?
A．T prevent disease entering a wund.B．T cver a rugh surface.
C．T make a wund smth.D．T help a wund t dry.
54．What can be inferred frm the passage?
A．The authr tends t favr pruning frequently.B．It’s easy t find a reasn t prune trees.
C．Pruning trees prperly is nt easy.D．Pruned trees will always grw taller.
55．What is the main idea f this passage?

They say t find ut what yu really want, g back t when yu were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted t be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discuraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the mst beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a prject t create a prtrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were dne, we presented ur prtraits. We std in frnt f the class and explained ur technique. I remember lking at ther prtraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why d theirs lk s prfessinal and mine lks s amateur?”
But I still really enjyed painting because it’s a frgiving art. If I dn’t like what I’ve put n paper, I can paint ver it. I can mix clrs and make new nes. Als, I can release sme creative juices, use what has inspired me and allw that t pur ut f me in a way I may nt have imagined.
But because I have always wanted t paint beautiful pictures, I just decided t change what beauty lked like. I changed what beauty meant t me.
Thrughut schl, they taught us abut Picass, Van Ggh and Lenard da Vinci wh were always painting whatever was in frnt f them and arund them. But that’s nt what I saw arund me.
Then I learned abut Basquiat, wh inspired me t paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m mved, and I am ften mved by what’s natural: emtins, nature, and ther frms f art. I am als very mved by pain. When there is pain in the wrld r in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a cnversatin with an activist in St. Luis named Spk, and I explained t her this feeling and she tld me, “Pain is energy. Yu have t learn hw t channel that energy int smething prductive.” S smetimes I channel that pain int art, int a painting.
Even if the picture desn’t turn ut aesthetically （美学地） pleasing by sciety’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able t create smething. My paintings may nt be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, s I lve them anyway.
56．What was the authr’s dream as a kid?（n mre than 5 wrds）
57．What did the authr find after the prtrait presentatin?（n mre than 15wrds）
58．What factrs mtivated the authr t keep his passin fr arts?（n mre than 15 wrds）
59．Hw d yu understand the underlined wrd in Paragraph 6?（I wrd）
60．Besides painting, what ther art frm wuld yu use t express yur feelings? And explain why.（n mre than 25 wrds）

Everyne admires beauty, and each persn has his wn understanding f beauty. As fr me, what’s s fascinating abut beauty is being kind and genuine because peple with these qualities definitely gain respect as well as a gd reputatin at length.
Take the experience that happened last weekend fr example. That afternn, I went t the park with my parents. On the way, a yung man wh was wearing designer clthes rde a bike passing by, and was admired with appreciative eyes. Hwever, he rde s fast that he kncked an ld lady dwn carelessly. Withut stpping, he pretended nt t see this and rde away. We were extremely angry with that yung man. The mment I wanted t help the lady, a girl in a plain dress ran frward at nce, wh picked up the lady. It’s the girl’s actin that was wrth highly praising.
Therefre, we cannt judge a persn by his appearance. If yu have a kind heart, yu wn real beauty. Hping everyne f us can be a persn with true beauty.
