从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. Leaves are found on all kinds of trees, but they differ greatly ________ size and shape.
A. on B. form C. by D. in
答案：D
解析：by size and shape意为“按大小和形状”。表示“每棵树上都有树叶，但它们的大小和形状都不同”。
2. The mayor has offered a reward of $ 5000 to ______ who can capture the tiger alive or dead.
A. both B. others C. anyone D. another
答案：C
解析：anyone用于肯定句意为“任何一个人”，表示“把奖金给任何一个能抓住活老虎或打死老虎的人”。故选C项。another指不确定数目中的“另一个”；both意为“两者都”；the others是“其余的人(物)”。
3. Alan is a careful driver, but he drives ______ of my friends.
A. more carefully B. the most carefully C. less carefully D. the least carefully
答案：D
解析：副词的最高级用于三者或三者以上的比较，意为“最……”。常与介词of或in短语连用，表示“……中最……”。根据所提供的情景of my fiends可判断出要用最高级，表示“但他在我们的朋友中开车最不仔细”。副词的比较级表示两者间的比较。所以是错误的。the most carefully意为“最仔细”与连词but矛盾。所以是错误的。
4. My morning ______ includes jogging in the park and reading newspapers over breakfast.
A. drill B. action C. regulation D. routine
答案：D
解析：routine意为“常规,日常事务”，表示“我早上要做的事包括在公园慢走和吃早餐时读报”。drill意为“操练,(反复)练习”；action意为“行动,举动,行为”；regulation意为“规则,规章,调节,校准”。
5. John was dismissed last week because of his ______ attitude towards his job.
A. informal B. casual C. determined D. earnest
答案：B
解析：casual意为“漫不经心的”。根据所提供的情景“John was dismissed”可判断出由于他的漫不经心的工作态度而被开除。informal意为“不正式的,不拘礼节的”；determined意为“坚决的,决定了的”；earnest意为“认真的,热心的,重要的”。
6. With the help of high technology, more and more new substances ______ in the past years.
A. discovered B. have discovered
C. had been discovered D. have been discovered
答案：D
解析：现在完成时表示已经完成动作或从过去某个时候开始一直延续到现在的动作。根据时间状语in the past years可确定用现在完成时。又因为substances是discover的动作的被执行者，所以要用被动语态。表示“近几年来，越来越多的物质被发现”。过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即“过去的过去”；不与in the past years连用。选项A和B都不是被动语态，所以是错误的。
7. --- How was the televised debate last night
--- Super! Rarely ______ so much media attention.
A. a debate attracted B. did a debate attract
C. a debate did attract D. attracted a debate
答案：B
解析：rarely意为“极少有地”，是否定词。以否定词开头的句子要进行倒装，即把助动词放在主语前。
8. The little boy came riding full speed down the motorway on his bicycle. ______ it was!
A. What a dangerous scene B. What dangerous a scene
C. How a dangerous scene D. How dangerous the scene
答案：A
解析：感叹句通常有what,how引导，表示赞美、惊叹、喜 悦、等感情。what后接名词，how后接形容词或副词构成感叹句。 scene是名词，所以What a dangerous scene it was!是正确的形式。
9. Pop music is such an important part of society ______ it has even influenced our language.
A. as B. that C. which D. where
答案：B
解析：“such a (an)+形容词＋单数可数名词”意为“那么样……，以至于……”，表示“流行歌曲是社会中那么重要的部分，以至于它已经影响了我们的语言”。such...as和such...that句型不同，前者as引导的从句是定语从句，而后者that引导的从句是状语从句。
10. After a knock at the door, the child heard his mother’s voice ______ him.
A. calling B. called C. being called D. to call
答案：A
解析：hear sth. doing sth.意为“听见某物做某事”。动词+ing形式作宾语补足语表示宾语和宾语补足语是主动关系。 the child heard his mother’s voice calling him表示“孩子听见他妈妈喊他”。hear sth.done表示“听见某事被做了”。动词+ed形式作宾语补足语表示其宾语和宾语补足语是被动关系。
11. There is nothing more I can try ______ you to stay, so I wish you good luck.
A. being persuaded B. persuading C. to be persuaded D. to persuade
答案：D
解析：不定式作目的状语，表示做某事的目的。I can try是定语从句，作nothing more的定语，表示“再没有什么可试”。故选D项。to be persuaded是不定式的被动式，表示被动。being persuaded是动词+ing形式的被动式。动词+ing形式作状语表示主动和伴随情况。选项A、B、C均与句意不符。
12. The Town Hall ______ in the 1800’s was the most distinguished building at that time.
A. to be completed B. having been completed
C. completed D. being completed
答案：C
解析：动词+ed形式作定语表示被动和已经完成的动作。根据时间状语in the 1800’s可判断出要用动词+ed形式作定语，表示“19世纪完成的市政厅”。故选C项。不定式的被动式作定语表示将被做的事。动词+ing形式作定语表示正在被做的事。
13. His movie won several awards at the film festival, ______ was beyond his wildest dream.
A. which B. that C. where D. it
答案：A
解析：which引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语。在非限制性定语从句中，只能用which引导而不能用that引导。where引导定语从句时，指代表示地点的名词，在从句中状语。it不能用于引导定语从句，所以是错误的。
14. Small sailboats can easily turn over in the water ______ they are not managed carefully.
A. though B. before C. until D. if
答案：D
解析：if引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”。根据两句话的意思可判断出它们是因果关系，表示“小航海船不仔细管理的话，很容易引起火灾”。though引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然”；before意为“在……之前”；until意为“直到……为止”。
15. ______ he referred to in his article was unknown to the general reader.
A. That B. What C. Whether D. Where
答案：B
解析：what引导主语从句，并在从句中作referred to的宾语。that引导主语从句时，在从句中只起连接作用，不作任何成分。whether意为“是否”。where意为“在……地方”。

Paper cuts are not produced by machine,but by hand.They are done all over China,but are different in the method in different areas.There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors(剪刀) or knives.As the name suggests,scissors cuttings are made with scissors.Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together.The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors.Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table.Following a pattern,the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.
In the past,paper cuts were usually made only by women and girls.They used scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees,peach blossoms,mice,fighting roosters(公鸡) and rabbits eating carrots.

The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed “art glass.” Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect upon carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.
France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among the most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1843-1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs.
The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920’s. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since the turn of the century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement—that function should determine form—was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline and complex textural surfaces.
8. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss
A. Design elements in the Art Nouveau style.
B. The popularity of the Art Nouveau style.
C. Production techniques for art glass.
D. Color combinations typical of the Art Nouveau style.
9. The word “one” in line 3 refers to ______.
A. century B. development C. style D. coloration
10. Paragraph 1 mentions that Art Nouveau glass was sometimes similar to which aspect of ancient buried glass
A. The distortion of the glass.
B. The appearance of the glass surface.
C. The shapes of the glass objects.
D. The size of the glass objects.
11. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2
A. To compare different Art Nouveau styles.
B. To give examples of famous Art Nouveau artists.
C. To explain why Art Nouveau glass was so popular in the United States.
D. To show the impact Art Nouveau had on other cultures around the world.
12. The word “prized” in line 14 is closest in meaning to______.
A. valued B. universal C. uncommon D. preserved

The history of pop art begins with abstract art. Pop art emerged from the foundation of abstract art in the 1950s, first gaining recognition in Great Britain, then establishing itself in the United States in the 1960s.
In the 1930s and 1940s, abstract art was greatly popular, but people began to hate this art form. Most abstract art produced in this era could be found in art galleries or the homes of the elite(名流), not in the homes of everyday people. Pop art sprung onto the scene as the people's art.
Some art critics say pop art is a rebellion against abstract art; others say it is an extension of abstract art. You can see elements of abstract art in many pop art prints, especially those that consist of a collage of images. However, some pop art pieces have nothing to do with abstract art, looking more like a photo of a popular consumer item, which impressed people deeply.
Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were two of the first contemporary pop art pioneers recognised in Great Britain. They were a part of the Independent Group, an organised group of British artists who wanted to challenge ruling modernist approaches to culture. They recognised the value of modern advertising and comic book images. They used these popular images in art as a social commentary, often building irony and humour into their artworks, thus creating a new form of art. These pieces were mass-produced and sold at affordable prices.
When pop art took off in the United States, it expanded to include a celebration of kitsch and the common images found in movies and television. Andy Wharhol is perhaps the most famous American pop art artist, known for his prints of the actress Marilyn Monroe, the singer Elvis Presley and of Gampbell's soup cans. Andy Wharhol was inspired by images from advertisements and common consumer items. He also made a series of paintings which showed images of car accidents.
13.Why did people dislike abstract art
A.People found it hard to understand. B.Ordinary people couldn't afford it.
C.People disliked enjoying it in galleries. D.It wasn't based on everyday life.
14.What impression do pop art works leave on people
A.They are a rebellion against abstract art. B.They have many elements of abstract art.
C.They are created so real. D.They are products of advertisers.
15.The Independent Group was set up to ________.
A.introduce a new art form to the world B.develop modern advertising further
C.create new comic book images D.make British culture better known
16.What is the writer's attitude towards pop art
A.Supportive. B.Uninterested. C.Objective. D.Negative.
语篇解读:这是说明文,短文介绍了一种艺术形式——pop art。
13.解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的"Most abstract art produced in this era could be found in art galleries... of everyday people."和第四段末句"These pieces were mass-produced and sold at affordable prices."可知pop art价格便宜,人们能负担得起。而抽象画只能在艺术馆或名流家里看到,普通人是买不起的。
14.解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的末句"However, some pop art pieces have nothing to do with abstract art, looking more like a photo of a popular consumer item, which impressed people deeply."可判断pop art的绘画像是真实的物品的照片,不像是画出来的。
15.解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的"...an organised group of British artists who wanted to challenge ruling modernist approaches to culture."以及"They used these popular images in art as a social commentary, often building irony and humour into their artworks, thus creating a new form of art."可知答案为A项。
16.解析:推理判断题。作者只是客观地叙述事实,没有表明自己的观点。

The Lomax family needed a dog. Though their house was already full with seven people, they knew a dog would truly make the house a home. So they settled on a dog whom they named Jack. It turned out to be the best decision they ever made.
It was Jack’s protective instinct(本能) that would save the lives of the Lomax family. If it wasn’t for him, the family may never have survived the terrible accident that would eventually befall one cold January day in 2020.
It was a night like many others. Autumn, the family’s youngest child and her mother Ashley had settled into bed in one of the bedrooms on the second floor. Jack, who rarely left Autumn’s side, had settled in there as well. Little did they know that something terrible was about to happen that night. While the family was fast asleep, a fire had started in one of the other second floor bedrooms. Jack had picked up a whiff (些微的气味) of smoke in the next room. In an instant, the brave dog jumped into action.
The four-legged family member knew something was wrong but had no way of telling his owners. He jumped up Ashley’s bed and began touching her face. She pushed him off her bed and tried to roll over but he began again, until she was up.
As soon as she could, Ashley took hold of Autumn and began to move away from the door. She screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran from the room, alerting the rest of the family to the disaster that was taking place. Jack did his part again too, barking loudly. Ashley’s screams woke the four other adults and two more children. All of them headed out into the cold January night. In no time, the fire had engulfed (吞没) nearly the entire home, but luckily, all of them had made it out alive, with Jack leading the way.

79. What did Jack do when he sensed something wrong (No more than 10 words)
80. What do you think of Jack Please explain (No more than 20 words)
76. Because they thought a dog would truly make the house a home.
Or: Because they thought the house has a homely feel with a dog in it.
77. Happen / Occur / Break out / Come about

The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed “art glass.” Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect upon carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.
France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among the most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1843-1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs.
The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920’s. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since the turn of the century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement—that function should determine form—was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline and complex textural surfaces.
8. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss
A. Design elements in the Art Nouveau style.
B. The popularity of the Art Nouveau style.
C. Production techniques for art glass.
D. Color combinations typical of the Art Nouveau style.
9. The word “one” in line 3 refers to ______.
A. century B. development C. style D. coloration
10. Paragraph 1 mentions that Art Nouveau glass was sometimes similar to which aspect of ancient buried glass
A. The distortion of the glass.
B. The appearance of the glass surface.
C. The shapes of the glass objects.
D. The size of the glass objects.
11. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2
A. To compare different Art Nouveau styles.
B. To give examples of famous Art Nouveau artists.
C. To explain why Art Nouveau glass was so popular in the United States.
D. To show the impact Art Nouveau had on other cultures around the world.
12. The word “prized” in line 14 is closest in meaning to______.
A. valued B. universal C. uncommon D. preserved
D
The history of pop art begins with abstract art. Pop art emerged from the foundation of abstract art in the 1950s, first gaining recognition in Great Britain, then establishing itself in the United States in the 1960s.
In the 1930s and 1940s, abstract art was greatly popular, but people began to hate this art form. Most abstract art produced in this era could be found in art galleries or the homes of the elite(名流), not in the homes of everyday people. Pop art sprung onto the scene as the people's art.
Some art critics say pop art is a rebellion against abstract art; others say it is an extension of abstract art. You can see elements of abstract art in many pop art prints, especially those that consist of a collage of images. However, some pop art pieces have nothing to do with abstract art, looking more like a photo of a popular consumer item, which impressed people deeply.
Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were two of the first contemporary pop art pioneers recognised in Great Britain. They were a part of the Independent Group, an organised group of British artists who wanted to challenge ruling modernist approaches to culture. They recognised the value of modern advertising and comic book images. They used these popular images in art as a social commentary, often building irony and humour into their artworks, thus creating a new form of art. These pieces were mass-produced and sold at affordable prices.
When pop art took off in the United States, it expanded to include a celebration of kitsch and the common images found in movies and television. Andy Wharhol is perhaps the most famous American pop art artist, known for his prints of the actress Marilyn Monroe, the singer Elvis Presley and of Gampbell's soup cans. Andy Wharhol was inspired by images from advertisements and common consumer items. He also made a series of paintings which showed images of car accidents.
13.Why did people dislike abstract art
A.People found it hard to understand. B.Ordinary people couldn't afford it.
C.People disliked enjoying it in galleries. D.It wasn't based on everyday life.
14.What impression do pop art works leave on people
A.They are a rebellion against abstract art. B.They have many elements of abstract art.
C.They are created so real. D.They are products of advertisers.
15.The Independent Group was set up to ________.
A.introduce a new art form to the world B.develop modern advertising further
C.create new comic book images D.make British culture better known
16.What is the writer's attitude towards pop art
A.Supportive. B.Uninterested. C.Objective. D.Negative.

The Lomax family needed a dog. Though their house was already full with seven people, they knew a dog would truly make the house a home. So they settled on a dog whom they named Jack. It turned out to be the best decision they ever made.
It was Jack’s protective instinct(本能) that would save the lives of the Lomax family. If it wasn’t for him, the family may never have survived the terrible accident that would eventually befall one cold January day in 2020.
It was a night like many others. Autumn, the family’s youngest child and her mother Ashley had settled into bed in one of the bedrooms on the second floor. Jack, who rarely left Autumn’s side, had settled in there as well. Little did they know that something terrible was about to happen that night. While the family was fast asleep, a fire had started in one of the other second floor bedrooms. Jack had picked up a whiff (些微的气味) of smoke in the next room. In an instant, the brave dog jumped into action.
The four-legged family member knew something was wrong but had no way of telling his owners. He jumped up Ashley’s bed and began touching her face. She pushed him off her bed and tried to roll over but he began again, until she was up.
As soon as she could, Ashley took hold of Autumn and began to move away from the door. She screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran from the room, alerting the rest of the family to the disaster that was taking place. Jack did his part again too, barking loudly. Ashley’s screams woke the four other adults and two more children. All of them headed out into the cold January night. In no time, the fire had engulfed (吞没) nearly the entire home, but luckily, all of them had made it out alive, with Jack leading the way.
