A
One day. One lifetime. You can do it! From the museum of modem art to the museum of ancient articles, visit our picks for the world’s best museums.
National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa)
This museum has a great collection of art spanning the Middle Ages to the present day, including American, Indian, European, Inuit and Canadian works. It offers a unique, near-complete overview of Canadian art — from early Quebec religious work, through Inuit work from the 1950s, to the contemporaries.
Tokugawa Art Museum (Japan)
The Tokugawa family reigned over Japan from 1600 to 1868. Under them, the country enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history. This time span is also known as the Edo period, during which the arts flowered in Japan. Artists of this period directly influenced Western masters such as Monet, Gauguin and Whistler and have since gone on to become household names. Other exhibits effectively present, through accurately reproduced environments, aspects of Japanese life at the time.
Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)
Highlights of this museum’s collection include a 4th-century Christian marble bust (半身像) of St. Paul at prayer, and a painting that questions life and our very existence, Gauguin’s “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?” It’s a must — go in the US.
The Egyptian Museum (Cairo)
As well as gathering together some of the finest archaeological finds from all Egypt, this museum also provides a rare opportunity to simply pop in and within minutes be standing face-to-face with one of the greatest works of mankind, Tutankhamun’s golden mask. A portrait of unbelievable quality, craftsmanship and beauty, the highly polished gold face — at once a god, a king and a teenager — shines like water: delicate, yet untouchable all at the same time. 21. Which museum will you visit if you want to know more about Monet? A. Tokugawa Art Museum. B. National Gallery of Canada. C. Museum of Fine Arts. D. The Egyptian Museum. 22. What kind of works can’t you see in the National Gallery of Canada? A. American works.
B. European works.
C. Japanese works. D. Inuit woks. 23. What is the most famous art work in The Egyptian Museum? A. Gauguin’s painting.
B. A golden mask of Tutankhamun. C. The Tokugawa family paintings.
D. A 4th-century Christian marble bust of St. Paul at prayer.

My mother loves flowers. As soon as warm weather comes around, you will find her planting, watering, and weeding over everything. For a number of years we lived next door to each other, and she spent as much time in my garden as she did her own. After the flowers
became plentiful each summer, she would cut colorful bouquets(花束) to enjoy inside the house -- both hers and mine. I would often come home from work and find a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers on my coffee table.
Shortly before Christmas one year, a local flower shop offered a bouquet-a-month special. It seemed to be a made-to-order gift for Mom, a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years.
After the holidays, in early January, I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month’s bouquet. The small fresh colorful bouquet would hardly fill a small vase.
I was so embarrassed. However, after we returned home, she began to arrange the flowers she had received. “Mom, I’m sorry,” I told her. “I can’t believe how skimpy that bouquet is.” She looked at me and smiled. “It’s okay,” she said. “It allows me to better enjoy the beauty of each one.”
Mom’s words helped me to realize something bigger and more important --when we have too many good things, we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each one.
Thanks, Mom, for helping me understand that less is sometimes more. 24. The author bought her mother flowers to ____.
A. celebrate the coming Christmas
B. express thanks for all her mother has done C. bring more flowers to her mother’s garden D. arrange her mother’s new house 25. What can you infer from the passage?
A. The author couldn’t afford a big bouquet.
B. The mother was not happy when receiving the bouquet. C. The author would pick up another bouquet the next month. D. The mother would send back the bouquet to the flower shop. 26. The underlined word “skimpy” in Para. 4 means ____.
A. beautiful
B. colorful C. cheap
D. small
27. What did the author learn from her mother?
A. How to grow flowers.
B. How to arrange flowers. D. Considering things in other ways.
C. Enjoying life if possible.
C
Fu Cong, a Chinese-born pianist, died on Monday at a hospital in London, where he had lived for many years.
A lover of classical music from a young age, Mr. Fu began taking piano lessons when he was 7. He made his first stage appearance in 1952. The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing, who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe. Mr. Fu soon
moved to Poland, where he studied at the Warsaw Conservatory (音乐学校) on a scholarship. To prepare for the fifth Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1955, he practiced so hard that he hurt his fingers and was nearly cut from the first round of the competition.
Mr. Fu was one of the first Chinese pianists to achieve global fame when he took third place in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955. He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin’s mazurkas. Almost overnight, he became a national hero. To China, Mr. Fu’s recognition in a well-known international competition was evidence that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West. Chinese reporters came to interview Mr. Fu, while many others went to his father, Fu Lei, for advice on child-raising.
In 1981, a volume of letters written by his father, was published in China. Full of advice, encouragement, life teachings and strict paternal love, the book Fu Lei’s Family Letters became a best-seller in China. Besides influencing a generation of Chinese, Mr. Fu’s words resonated (引起共鸣) long after his death with the person for whom they were intended. “My father had a saying that ‘First you must be a person, then an artist, and then a musician, and only then can you be a pianist,’” Mr. Fu Cong once recalled in an interview. “Even now, I believe in this order-that it should be this way and that I am this way.” 28.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Fu Cong’s achievements in music.
B.Fu Cong’s stage performances.
C.Fu Cong’s experiences of learning music.D.Fu Cong’s efforts for competitions. 29.Why does Fu Cong’s global recognition mean a lot to China?
A.It earns Chinese arts a place in the West. B.It promotes the spread of Chinese culture. C.It proves Chinese people’s love for music. D.It enables Chinese art education to be recognized. 30.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Fu Lei’s Family Letters. B.Young people of China.
C.Fu Cong and his family. D.Readers of Fu Lei’s Family Letters. 31.Which of the following agrees with Fu Lei’s ideas in the last paragraph?
A.It’s easy to be an artist. B.It requires various qualities to be a pianist. C.Everyone should develop an interest in art. D.Talent is of greatest importance for a pianist.
D
Is there anybody out there? For centuries humans have wondered although the ways in
which we have gone about this have varied. As we have gained a greater understanding of the universe, our searches have taken on more concrete(具体的) forms. Questions about aliens(外星人) have become a subject for science rather than science fiction.
Now new cooperation between the Very Large Array (VLA) observatory in New Mexico and the SETI Institute in California means that our curiosity about whether aliens exist can be closer than ever before to being satisfied. Data from the VLA’S 28 radio telescopes, used to scan a vast area of sky, will be fed through a special supercomputer that will search for distant signals.
How likely it is that a signal will be found, and what this might mean, are hard questions to answer. SETI’s existing projects have not discovered any signals from other planets so far. But recent discoveries in space and Earth sciences have provided some encouragement for those who are enthusiastic about the possibility, however remote, of detecting other civilizations.
Once it was thought that our solar system could be unique. Since the discovery of the first exoplanet (a planet beyond the solar system) in the 1990s, thousands more have been located. Around one in five stars is now thought to have a planet in their orbit(运行轨道) in a so-called “habitable(适合居住的) zone”—that is, at a distance from the star where the temperature means that life is theoretically possible.
Are Earth’s 7.5 billion humans, along with billions of other animals and plants they share their home with, on their own in the universe? If there is another life form somewhere, could it be as intelligent as humans? Or could it threaten them? I think all of these need further exploration. As explorations of Mars continue, and a new set of observations from the James Webb Space Telescope are set to begin, our interest in the possibility of alien life appears as much as before.
32.Why does the VLA work with SETI?
A.To develop new radio telescopes. B.To find evidence of aliens’ existence. C.To build a special supercomputer. D.To search for distant signals. 33.What is the encouraging news for scientists exploring distant civilizations?
A.Life does indeed exist on exoplanets. B.New technologies are employed to find aliens. C.Some exoplanets may have habitable zones. D.Signals have been discovered from other planets. 34.What is the author’s attitude to the existence of aliens?
A.Uncertain.
B.Positive. C.Unacceptable. D.Worried.
35.What might be the best title for the text?
A.Space: the unknown place B.Finding aliens: possible or not? C.Receiving signals: aliens appear again? D.Exoplanets: home of aliens

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。
A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
●Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 36 ●Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. 37 For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
●Always carry a book. 38 When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments(约会,预约) and pretty much everywhere I go.
● 39 Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Do not lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There should be no television or computer near the chair, and no music or noisy family members or roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.
●Reduce television or the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. 40 But remember: every minute you reduce of the Internet or TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time. A. Go to bookstores. B. Find a quiet place.
C. This may be difficult for some people. D. Wherever you go, take a book with you. E. Have some good tea or coffee while you read. F. It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
G. If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you’ll really love. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15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。续写的词数应为150左右。
I sat in the breakfast corner with my four-year-old son, Matthew, trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. I was still recovering from surgery. I hoped for strength and happiness. But the future seemed so hopeless, I’d always wanted five or six kids. Three surgeries later, that dream would never come true.
Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to the
sliding door. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated on a rubber tree. It sat there a few moments, and then flew away. I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying twigs (细枝). “Look, Matthew,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on the top of the rubber tree. Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding door, talking to the doves while they worked. As much as I was grieving (悲伤), I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too. We watched their progress as if it had been a real-life soap opera unfolding before us. I’d do the cooking and for a moment, my pain disappeared, replaced by joy.
Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree’s broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew through, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from scratch (从头开始), though the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they renewed their efforts, as if nothing had happened. Paragraph 1:
I knew I had to do something.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:
“The birds are back!” Matthew announced.

I am sorry to hear that you feel extremely nervous before an important exam. I’d like to give you some advice.
Firstly, make careful plans before exams to master what you have learned completely. It will help you build up your confidence. Secondly, take proper exercise regularly, which will help you keep healthy and energetic. What’s more, you can talk with your teachers or classmates after class. Last but not least, don’t stay up late studying. It is very important to have a good sleep at night if you want to be energetic during the day.
I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration. 2.答案: Paragraph 1:
I knew I had to do something. The doves had given me something to look forward to, even on my darkest days. I was going to help them in return. I woke up the following morning with a plan. There was only an hour before the time when the doves usually made their visits. I looked through the garage for an old piece of shelving. I leaned a stepladder by the sliding door, hammered the shelving into the wall next to the rubber tree and covered it with leaves so it looked like part of the tree. Then Matthew and I stood by the door, waiting and hoping. Paragraph 2:
\"The birds are back!\" Matthew announced. There they were adding bits and pieces to the new nest. \"It works! The doves are back.\" We watched three chicks break free from their shells. Life was filled with wonders and surprises like a pair of white doves building a nest on the top of a rubber tree, with me waiting and hoping.
