Vincent van Gogh, for whom color was the chief symbol of expression, was born in Groot-Zundert, Holland on March 30, 1853.
The son of a pastor(牧师), brought up in a religious and cultured atmosphere, Vincent was highly emotional and lacked self-confidence. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, van Gogh had had two unsuitable and unhappy romances and had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore, an art salesman, and a preacher in the Borinage (a dreary mining district in Belgium), where he was dismissed for overzealousness(过分热心的). 21世纪教育网
He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty. The works of his early Dutch period are somber-toned, sharply lit, genre paintings of which the most famous is "The Potato Eaters" (1885). In that year van Gogh went to Antwerp where he discovered the works of Rubens and purchased many Japanese prints.
In 1886 he went to Paris to join his brother Théo, the manager of Goupil's gallery. In Paris, van Gogh studied with Cormon, inevitably met Pissarro, Monet, and Gauguin, and began to lighten his very dark palette and to paint in the short brushstrokes of the Impressionists. His nervous temperament made him a difficult companion and night-long discussions combined with painting all day undermined his health. He decided to go south to Arles where he hoped his friends would join him and help found a school of art. Gauguin did join him but with disastrous results. Near the end of 1888, an incident led Gauguin to ultimately leave Arles. Van Gogh pursued him with an open razor, was stopped by Gauguin, but ended up cutting a portion of his own ear lobe off. Van Gogh then began to alternate between fits of madness and lucidity and was sent to the asylum in Saint-Remy for treatment.
1. What did Van Gogh do between 1860 and 1880
A a clerk B an art salesman C a preacher D all of them.
2. Why was Van Gogh not allowed to be a preacher at last
A because he was strict.
B because he was selfish.
C because he was confident.
D because he was enthusiastic.
3. what does the underlined word “temperament” mean .
A personality B experience C surroundings D behavior

【江苏省无锡一中2012-2013学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题】
We were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train. We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have been faster. But I don’t think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.
Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. “We’re moving,” my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.
I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep. The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a more miserable experience for me: not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my chin, the hard seatback in front cracking my kneecaps (膝盖) with every move of the body planted in front of me. On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.
The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was. We all found the train ride a joy. The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.
In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isn’t something I do so much when traveling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission (任务) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.
Chicago offers much to do for a family. This time, getting there was half the fun.
64. We can learn from the first paragraph that _____.
A. the kids love the train journey
B. Chicago is one of the kid’s favorite cities
C. the author didn’t enjoy the long train journey
D. it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train
65. What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Excitement. B. Relaxation. C. Tiredness. D. Worry.
66. In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show _____.
A. an airline flight is easier B. a train ride is too long
C. an airline flight is miserable D. a train ride is more comfortable
67. Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey
A. Moved. B. Delighted. C. Disappointed. D. Nervous.
64.【答案】D
【试题解析】细节理解题。从短文第一段的开头We were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train.可知,孩子们是第一次乘坐火车,正确答案是D;从第一段的We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it.来看,孩子们四年前去过芝加哥,而且很喜欢,而关于这次乘火车孩子们是否喜欢,第一段没有提到,排除选项A;选项B的错误在于“移花接木”,芝加哥是作者最喜欢的城市之一,而不是孩子们;选项C的错误在于无中生有。
65.【答案】A
【试题解析】词义猜测提。根据第二段的Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure.其中的关键提是“though … tired”, 前面说“尽管累”,那后面一定是转折的意思,先排除C,D;然后考虑到孩子的特点,“放松”不合适,应该是“兴奋”。
66.【答案】D
【试题解析】推理判断题。作者在第三段中提到了三中旅行方式,乘火车,开车和长飞机,其中大篇幅讲到乘飞机的种种不便,为的是衬托做火车的好处。
67.【答案】B
【试题解析】作者观点题。作者在整个文章中所讲述和议论的都是乘坐火车旅行的好处,选项C和D 的意思分别是失望,紧张,明显与文章相反,排除;A的意思是“感动”,与文章意思不相干,排除。
C
【成都外国语学校2012-2013学年度下期期中考试】
While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon(现象)is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).[来源:中教网]
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response(回应)in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.
39. According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _________.
A. their earlier experience of feeling lonely
B. the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries
C. the common worry about their income
D. the geographical distance between parents and children
40. Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _________.
A. live in the countries with more money
B. seek a better place for their aged parents
C. continue their studies abroad
D. realize their dreams in foreign countries

A. they do not hold to the value of duty at all
B. they can give some help to their parents back home
C. they cannot do what they should for their parents
D. they believe what they actually do is right21世纪教育网21世纪教育网
42. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.[来源:中#教#网z#z#s#tep]
A. the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
B. “Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society
C. children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
