M: What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein What clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Madonna Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions at the Fame Hotel in California.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of a famous person. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, even food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Madonna's wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses; Albert Einstein doesn't have any socks in his wardrobe because he never wore them! I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel，” he said to me. “I wanted to know what Elvis Presley would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table, the Einstein room's guest is eating cabbage soup! The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London!

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare，“But I'm just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？”
“Nobody.I do it.”
“Really — at night, when you're asleep？”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”

Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms.For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋码头), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a common feature of Land Art.It can be created by moving components (组成部分) around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases, Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to evolve (逐步形成), change, and eventually decay (衰落)．That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they evolve and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artist.
28．From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________.
A．Land Art aims to get people interested in nature
B．American artists were the first to create Land Art
C．Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s
D．people have been creating Land Art for thousands of years
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，地景艺术的存在有几千年的历史了。
29．What do we know about Robert Smithson
A．He is an American artist.
B．He is a pioneer in creating Land Art.
C．He created the most famous Land Art.
D．He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的The American artist可知，Robert Smithson是美国的一名艺术家。
30．From the passage we know Land Art ________.
A．cannot exist forever
B．can be moved everywhere
C．can be created in a few hours
D．can't be changed once created
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，地景艺术不能永远存在。
31．Land Art is attractive to the artists partly because ________.
A．it makes use of the landscape around
B．it offers the artists a chance to change nature
C．it will develop and be destroyed gradually by natural processes
D．it shows the extreme beauty of nature because artists use natural material
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，地景艺术对艺术家来说具有吸引力的一个原因是随着时间的流逝，它会发生变化，直至衰落。
D
German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash to make sculptures (雕塑)．“We are living in the time of garbage，” says Schult.“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here，Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine Westphalia.“They are social sculptures，” he explains.
“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far，Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris，in Moscow's Red Square，on the Great Wall of China，and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.
HA Schult's work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world，Schult remains humble (谦虚的) about his creations：“Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that is important is the time in which we are living.”
Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art？Maybe it's because we all have our own pre set (预先设置的) ideas of what art is and isn't，or who artists are or should be.
You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them？Imagine them in any number of new uses，or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing？Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers (悬挂收纳盒)．
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章先介绍了德国环保艺术家HA Schult和他的垃圾雕塑作品，再鼓励读者也通过这样的创造成为像HA Schult一样的艺术家。
32．What do we know about Schult's sculptures
A．They were first shown in Paris，France.
B．They show people the problem of trash.
C．They are mainly about social relationship.
D．They are designed in the shape of garbage.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“We are living in the time of garbage”和第二段中的“They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.”可推知，Schult的垃圾雕塑作品是为了让人们关注垃圾问题。
33．Which of the following can best describe HA Schult
A．Careful. B．Humorous.
C．Not proud. D．Not confident.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，尽管Schult的作品对艺术界有很大的影响，但他仍保持谦虚的态度。由此可知，他没有因为他的成就而感到骄傲。
34．According to Paragraph 4，the author might agree that ________.
A．trash art is not a real art form
B．it is difficult to be a true artist
C．the ordinary people can also be trash artists
D．pre set ideas are important to artists
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Why can't common...personal art？”可知，作者认为，普通人通过创造改变物品形成个人艺术品，也应该被看作是艺术家。
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Could you be a trash artist
B．What are social sculptures
C．Do you know about trash art
D．How can we deal with used cans
解析：选A 标题归纳题。文章前三段重点介绍了德国艺术家HA Schult的垃圾艺术，后两段鼓励读者也可以成为环保艺术家，并提供了一些方法。A项能够起到统领全文的作用，适合作文章标题。

Dear Committee members，
I did a survey among people and we think it is very important and necessary to start a new art gallery for our district.So I am writing to ask you to help us.I have discovered that we have many good artists in our district.At present, none of them have a place to display their works.The gallery would provide such a place and would help people in the district to learn more about art and our artists.
In conclusion, I believe a gallery of local art and craft would not only encourage the artists but also make others proud of our local talent.Moreover, it provides a good place for students to learn and appreciate art.I do hope you will consider my suggestion.
Yours faithfully/sincerely/truly，
Li Hua

I'd just returned from the local hospital where I'd held my first grandchild in my arms for the first time.What a beautiful child! She was named after her grandmother, Betsy.How I wished that my wife were here to see the healthy baby of Grace, our only daughter.
I knew what Betsy would have wanted and expected me to do on this grand occasion of the birth of our granddaughter, so I headed for her favourite department store to select as a gift for our daughter.
Shopping here would cause me to feel that Betsy was still with me and could share the joy of the birth of her first granddaughter.
There was a clerk, an attractive middle aged woman with her name tag “JOY” .Her fingers lingered over a pair of diamond earrings.“How about these？”she said to an elderly man.He held them up.“Oh yes, these are very pretty，”he said.He then turned to me, “What do you think Would these be a good anniversary gift for my wife？”
“They'll be a wonderful anniversary gift，” I said, and I wondered how many years he and his wife had been married.I thought of all the years Betsy and I had shared.“When your wife wears them, they'll remind her of your love.”
“That's precisely what I want them to do，” he said, smiling.
Joy asked, “What anniversary will this be？” The old man's eyes sparkled as he answered, “You'll never guess.” Joy then said, “Well, diamonds are traditionally given for the sixtieth anniversary.”
“You're wrong，” he said.“It's our first anniversary！” Joy looked as surprised as I felt, as the man said, “I still can't believe my good fortune the second time around, finding someone as wonderful as my wife Helen.”
“Congratulations，” Joy said.“Your wife is lucky to have such a generous husband.The first anniversary is supposed to be a paper gift.”
“Do you think I should—or even could—ask Helen to wait 59 years for her diamonds？”
Joy's eyes opened wide, “Oh, I didn't mean.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
The old man said to Joy, “I hope you young people will remember to live each day with meaning.”
While she wrapped them, I took a deep breath and asked Joy, “Do you have dinner plans？”
参考范文
The old man said to Joy, “I hope you young people will remember to live each day with meaning.”And he continued, “Please don't ever put anything off until later.” We watched him walk proudly out of the store.Then Joy turned to me, “Now, how can I help you？” I explained the situation and the occasion and told her that I also wanted a similar pair of diamond earrings for my daughter because I knew that Betsy would have loved them too.“I don't have another pair like that.How about some other pearl earrings instead？” She said, pearls bring people good fortune, and she held out a beautiful pair of earrings set with glittering pearls.
While she wrapped them, I took a deep breath and asked Joy, “Do you have dinner plans？” I explained that I'd like to wait a bit before I went back to the hospital—gave Grace and her husband some time alone with baby.“Would you be interested in joining me in a bite to eat？” I asked.“I'd love to，” she replied, her eyes sparkling like diamonds.And, this was the beginning of the end to my months of heartbreak following Betsy's death.

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare，“But I'm just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？”
“Nobody.I do it.”
“Really — at night, when you're asleep？”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”
24．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.
A．know more about the students
B．make the lessons more exciting
C．raise the students' interest in art
D．teach the students about toy design
25．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．He liked to help his teacher.
B．He preferred to study alone.
C．He was active in class.
D．He was imaginative.
26．What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Mistake. B．Drawback.
C．Difficulty. D．Burden.
27．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams
A．To help them to see their creativity.
B．To find out about their sleeping habits.
C．To help them to improve their memory.
D．To find out about their ways of thinking.

Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms.For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋码头), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a common feature of Land Art.It can be created by moving components (组成部分) around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases, Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to evolve (逐步形成), change, and eventually decay (衰落)．That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they evolve and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artist.
28．From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________.
A．Land Art aims to get people interested in nature
B．American artists were the first to create Land Art
C．Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s
D．people have been creating Land Art for thousands of years
29．What do we know about Robert Smithson
A．He is an American artist.
B．He is a pioneer in creating Land Art.
C．He created the most famous Land Art.
D．He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
30．From the passage we know Land Art ________.
A．cannot exist forever
B．can be moved everywhere
C．can be created in a few hours
D．can't be changed once created
31．Land Art is attractive to the artists partly because ________.
A．it makes use of the landscape around
B．it offers the artists a chance to change nature
C．it will develop and be destroyed gradually by natural processes
D．it shows the extreme beauty of nature because artists use natural material
D
German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash to make sculptures (雕塑)．“We are living in the time of garbage，” says Schult.“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here，Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine Westphalia.“They are social sculptures，” he explains.
“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far，Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris，in Moscow's Red Square，on the Great Wall of China，and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.
HA Schult's work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world，Schult remains humble (谦虚的) about his creations：“Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that is important is the time in which we are living.”
Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art？Maybe it's because we all have our own pre set (预先设置的) ideas of what art is and isn't，or who artists are or should be.
You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them？Imagine them in any number of new uses，or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing？Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers (悬挂收纳盒)．
32．What do we know about Schult's sculptures
A．They were first shown in Paris，France.
B．They show people the problem of trash.
C．They are mainly about social relationship.
D．They are designed in the shape of garbage.
33．Which of the following can best describe HA Schult
A．Careful. B．Humorous.
C．Not proud. D．Not confident.
34．According to Paragraph 4，the author might agree that ________.
A．trash art is not a real art form
B．it is difficult to be a true artist
C．the ordinary people can also be trash artists
D．pre set ideas are important to artists
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Could you be a trash artist
B．What are social sculptures
C．Do you know about trash art
D．How can we deal with used cans
