Van Gogh painted sunflowers for the first time in the summer of 1886.Two years later,his interest appeared again after he settled in Arles.After he had invited the French artist Paul Gauguin,whom he admired,to join his Studio of the South,he began painting sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow house he was living in,not far from the town's railway station.
Gauguin accepted Van Gogh's invitation.When he began dragging his heels(脚后跟),Van Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn, "Van Gogh saw the Sunflowers for Gauguin's bedroom as a way of attracting his friend to come from Brittany," says Bailey.
According to Martin Gayford, "Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers,which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift.Years later,Gauguin himself painted some sunflower pictures."
Van Gogh's Sunflowers stand for(代表)his relationship with Gauguin. "I think he painted them for the joy of it," says Jansen. "Van Gogh was at the height of his powers in the summer of 1888," explains Bailey. "He painted the Sunflowers quickly and with great energy and confidence." Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in late August, "I'm painting quickly now,which won't surprise you when it's a question of painting large Sunflowers."
Van Gogh recognized at once that he had created something important and that his sunflowers were so different.As he told Theo in January 1889,while other artists were known for painting other flowers, "The sunflower is mine." This,in fact,explains the reason for the popularity of Van Gogh's Sunflowers today.

With the Chinese language becoming popular,the UK government plans to invest(投资)10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin(普通话).Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin?Some people share their opinions online.
Tsd (UK):The learning of any language can be valuable and useful,but it is not suitable for everyone.Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages.Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?
Mark (US):I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college.I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China.Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn't speak English.But it is far from being fluent.Learning additional languages is a great thing,which offers a different view on the world around us.Nowadays,it's almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.
George (UK):No,unless they're taught from a very early stage of childhood.Mandarin is so difficult.If China really is going to lead the world,it'll have to do so by speaking the world's leading language—English.
8. What is probably Mark's main purpose of learning Chinese?
A. The official request of his company.
B. Effective communication with his family.
C. Further education in the future.
D. His frequent travel to China.
9. Tsd from UK disagrees to learn Chinese for some reasons except .
A. English is the mostly spoken language.
B. The people in the UK are not good foreign language learners.

The tornadoes that recently struck the U.S.are some of the most destructive and deadly in history.The death in Kentucky,the hardest hit state,reached 80 on Monday,with dozens still unaccounted for.The scale of destruction and timing of the tornadoes so late in the year — most tornadoes occur in the spring and summer — is fueling discussion about how climate change may have influenced this deadly disaster.
"In my 40 years as a meteorologist(气象学家),this was one of the most shocking weather events I've ever witnessed," says Jeff Masters,at Yale Climate Connections. "Watching these storms on Friday night,my thought was, 'Is no season safe?' Extreme tornadoes in December.That was mind blowing to me."
Unlike heat waves and floods,the link between a warming world and tornadoes is complex and uncertain.Scientists have several theories about how tornado behavior may change.Tornadoes in December are possible.But it remains to be seen whether climate change will strengthen or increase the frequency of tornadoes.
According to NOAA's data,there has been a recorded increase in the number of observed tornadoes since 1950,which experts believe is largely due to better technology such as Doppler radar.There's been no observed increase in the frequency of major tornadoes over time.For example,59 of the most severe F5 tornadoes in the U.S.have occurred since 1950.But if the storm that destroyed Kentucky turns out to have been an F5,it will have been the first since 2013 — bringing to an end the longest recorded period so far.
Nevertheless, "given the general influence of global warming on the atmosphere,it makes sense that it should be having an impact on tornadoes too," says Victor Gensini,an extreme weather expert at Northern Illinois University. "Instead of asking: 'Did climate change cause this tornado?' It's better to operate under the assumption that climate change did play a role," he says.
While the science on climate change and tornadoes isn't clear,meteorologists are predicting that conditions benefiting tornadoes will continue this month. "I'm worried about the rest of the year to be honest.I don't think we're out of the woods, yet." Gensini says.
12. What is one difference between the recent tornadoes and the ones in the past?
A. They hit only Kentucky. B. They caught people unprepared.
C. They caused no deaths. D. They happened in December.
13. What can be inferred in paragraph 3?
A. Scientists are unsure about how climate change influences tornadoes.
B. There is an agreement on how tornadoes may change.
C. Waves and floods often follow tornadoes.
D. Climate change will make tornadoes the most deadly disaster.
14. Which statement may Victor Gensini agree with?
A. The climate change will make tornadoes much less frequent.
B. The science on climate change is advancing very quickly.
C. The tornadoes have nothing to do with climate warming.
D. The climate change most likely has an effect on tornadoes.
15. What does the underlined phrase " out of the woods" mean in the last paragraph?
A. Out of danger. B. Out of question.
C. Out of forest. D. Out of difficulty.
Sometimes,you are not good at some of your subjects. (1) You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessary so,however.Anyone can become a better student if you want to.Here's how:
Plan your time carefully.When you plan your work,you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time.First your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.Then decide a good,regular time for studying. (2) A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Make good use of your time in class. (3) Listening carefully in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teachers say.
Study regularly.When you get home from school,go over your notes,review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material. (4) If you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.It helps you remember your new knowledge.The world won't end if you don't pass a test,so don't be over worried.

However,he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman named Whitney opened the door.He changed his mind and asked for a cup of water instead of a meal.Whitney thought Barton looked hungry,so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly,and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness." He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart." As Barton left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but also increased his faith in God and humans.He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later Whitney became critically ill.Her husband,who took care of her,could not go out to work,and her poor son had to drop out of school because of being unable to afford his school tuition.He had to pick up coal in a mine near his home.Then he sold all the coal he collected for a few coins to help his parents.Fortunately,their neighbors often brought food and medicine to them,enabling them to survive the hardship of life.Besides,they also raised money for her from a fundraiser on the Internet.People donate money for her in banks,by phone using a credit card and online.

36.【答案】【小题1】Honestly
【小题2】left
【小题3】extinction
【小题4】have been taken
【小题5】the
【小题6】whose
【小题7】by
【小题8】To achieve
【小题9】but
【小题10】better
【解析】(1)考查副词。句意:老实说,老虎是当今世界上最濒危的物种之一。honestly speaking"老实说"。位于句首,单词首字母要大写。故填Honestly。
(2)考查过去分词。句意:野生老虎总数不超过5000只。分析句子结构可知,此处应填非谓语动词作后置定语,tigers和leave之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填left。
(3)考查不可数名词。句意:一些人认为野生老虎已经到了灭绝的地步。分析句子可知,此处作介词of的宾语,应用名词extinction,不可数名词。故填extinction。
(4)考查时态语态。句意:事实上,在过去的几十年里,人们采取了许多措施来保护老虎。根据上文"over the last few decades"可知,应用现在完成时,steps和take之间是被动关系,应用现在完成时的被动语态,主语是复数。故填have been taken。
(5)考查冠词。句意:野生动物保护协会(WCS)成立于21世纪初,旨在保护野生动物及其栖息地。in the early 2000s"在21世纪初"。故填the。
(6)考查定语从句。句意:2010年,WCS启动了"永远的老虎"项目,其目标是在未来10年将世界上老虎的数量增加50%。分析句子可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Tigers Forever,从句中缺少定语,故用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
(7)考查介词。句意:2010年,WCS启动了"永远的老虎"项目,其目标是在未来10年将世界上老虎的数量增加50%。increase by"增加……"。故填by。
(8)考查不定式。句意:为了实现他们的目标,他们不仅与政府合作,还与其他组织合作,保护老虎和其他野生物种。分析句子结构可知,achieve在句中作目的状语应用不定式,位于句首单词,首字母要大写。故填To achieve。
(9)考查固定短语。句意:为了实现他们的目标,他们不仅与政府合作,还与其他组织合作,保护老虎和其他野生物种。not only…but (also)…"不仅……而且……"。故填but。
(10)考查比较级。句意:多亏了WCS的辛勤工作,这些大型猫科动物在自然环境中比以往任何时候都有更好的生存机会,而不仅仅是在动物园里。根据下文"than ever"可知,此处应用比较级。故填better。
本文是一篇说明文。尽管有法律保护,也有自然公园,但老虎的栖息地还是不断被破坏,老虎依然遭到猎捕,老虎成了世界上最濒危物种之一。幸运的是,野生动物保护协会正在致力于保护它们。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用,做题时要首先明确短文大意,从词语搭配,固定句型,语法,时态等方面综合考虑,结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

解题方法点拨
(1)品读原文,确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路,通过精读文章,找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜(结尾)"。
(2)仔细审题,明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求,如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示,这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求,再次快速阅读短文,抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后,最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性,语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
