Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
The painter Georgia O'Keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family's farm.At seventeen she decided to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York，but she never lost her bond with the land.Like most painters，O'Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her，and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.
O'Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Alfred Stieglitz，whom she married in 1924.During a visit to New Mexico in 1929，O'Keeffe was so moved by the bleak landscape and broad skies of the western desert that she began to paint its images.Cows' skulls and other bleached bones found in the desert figured prominently in her paintings.When her husband died in 1946，she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert，colorful flowers，rocks，barren hills，and the sky as subjects for her paintings.Although O'Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920s,1930s and 1940s，she continued to produce tributes to the western desert until her death in 1986.
O'Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter.While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art，O'Keeffe's position was more independent.She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor.Almost from the beginning，her work was more identifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color，light，space and natural forms.
36．The main idea of this passage is that ________.
A．O'Keeffe was a distinctive modern American painter
B．O'Keeffe was the best painter of her generation
C．O'Keeffe liked to paint what was familiar to her
D．O'Keeffe used colors and shapes that are too simple
37．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O'Keeffe's paintings?
A．Her rural upbringing.
B．Her life in the West.
C．The works of European artists.
D．The appearance of the natural landscape.
38．Which of the following is most similar to O'Keeffe's relationship with nature？
A．A photographer's relationship with a model.
B．A writer's relationship with a publisher.
C．A student's relationship with a book.
D．A carpenter's relationship with a hammer.
39．Why is O'Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer?
A．Because her work became influential in Europe.
B．Because she painted the American Southwest.
C．Because her paintings had a definite American style.
D．Because she painted things that were familiar to her.
B
Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school.Kids who complain about the number of activities they're involved in or refuse to go to them may be a sign that they're burdened with stress.
How can you help kids deal with stress？Proper rest and good nutrition can improve such skills，as can good parenting.Make time for your kids each day.Whether they need to talk or just be in the same room with you，make yourself available.
Even as kids get older，quality time is important.It's really hard for some people to come home after work，get down on the floor，and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day—especially if they've had a stressful day themselves.But expressing interest in your kids' days shows that they're important to you.
Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it.Together，you can come up with a few solutions like cutting_back_on afterschool activities，spending more time talking with parents or teachers，developing an exercise habit，or keeping a journal.
You can also help by anticipating(期待)potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them.For example，let a child know ahead of time (but not too far ahead of time)that a doctor's appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there.Keep in mind，though，that younger kids probably won't need too much advance preparation.Too much information can cause more stress－reassurance(放心)is the key.
Remember that some level of stress is normal；let kids know that it's OK to feel angry，scared，lonely，or anxious and that other people share those feelings.
40．The passage is mainly written for ________.
A．parents B．teachers
C．kids D．doctors
41．You can do the following to help reduce children's stress EXCEPT ________.
A．making yourself available
B．showing interest in kids' days
C．reminding them some stress is OK
D．trying to offer more information
42．The underlined “cutting back on” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A．reducing B．increasing
C．creating D．expecting
43．The purpose of the passage is ________.
A．to find out the sources of stress
B．to offer tips on dealing with stress
C．to give advice on how to relax
D．to explain why stress is harmful
C
You may be fascinated with pictures of animals in the wild.You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are rarely seen in the city.If you do get that chance，you may want to consider the following tips or rules.
First of all，a lot of professional photographers give respect to these animals and the environment they are in.Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or hurt you.
Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real，live，wild animals.A wild animal may bite to protect itself.You must be sensitive while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements.Do not feed the animals，or interact with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.
If you will be going to a place where it is privately (私人)owned，you'd better get the owner's permission first before you start taking pictures.
Change the flash of your camera to natural light，so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting.Animals do not react well when they are surprised.
Be very patient.Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its moods.Be familiar with the animals' natural habitat.
Now if those rules are clear，it is time for planning.Consider the weather；some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain.Therefore，a little research on the weather will not hurt.You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset.Now if the animal is nocturnal (夜间活动的)，then you should prepare to battle not only the wild but also the darkness.
An adventure in the wild will make you very excited.However，you should be well equipped，have experts to back you up，and also a permit for doing the photo shoot.If you do not have any of these，then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.
44．The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is________.
A．to call for us to protect animals
B．to show where to buy pictures of animals
C．to explain how to get along with wild animals
D．to give us tips on taking pictures of animals in the wild
45．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．most animals love being taken pictures of
B．we have to finish the pictures before sunset
C．we'd better take pictures when the animals are sleeping
D．we should pay attention to the animals' moods when taking pictures
46．What preparation should you do before going to take photos of wild animals?
①Preparing some food to feed the animals.
②Asking experts for advice.
③Knowing the weather in the animals' habitat.
④Getting a permit for taking photos of wild animals.
A．①②④ B．②③④
C．①②③ D．①③④

(2013·重庆高考)The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt. “The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view？”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime，I got lucky.
“If you come by right now，” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?
In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears，she laughed and said，“Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him？”I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork，”the assistant said.
“The artwork？”I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
47．Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?
A．Cheerful. B．Nervous.
C．Satisfied. D．Upset.
48．What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?
A．The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B．The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.
C．The surroundings of the dentist's office.
D．The laughing assistant of the dentist.
49．Why did the author suddenly smile?
A．Because the dentist came at last.
B．Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
C．Because she could relax in the chair.
D．Because the assistant kept comforting her.
50．What did the author learn from her experience most probably?
A．Strike while the iron is hot.
B．Have a good word for one's friend.
C．Put oneself in other's shoes.
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

19．D 根据文章首段的Overcoming negativity is something that can take a lifetime.可知别人对她说的这些话现在对她还有一定的影响，故她现在还在“应对”这种悲伤情绪。

37．C 细节理解题。从最后一段第二句可知，O'Keeffe有自己独立的绘画风格，没有受到欧洲画法的影响。
38．A 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，O'Keeffe的作品基本都是自然界的真实写照，可见她与自然的关系是描写者与描写对象的关系。A项与之类似。
39．C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，O'Keeffe与其他同时代画家相比，有自己独特的绘画风格，不受欧洲画法的影响，开创了美国本土绘画风格的先河，所以被认为是艺术先驱。
40．A 推理判断题。依据第二段as can good parenting和Make time for your kids each day推断本文对象主要是针对父母的。
41．D 细节理解题。依据第五段Too much information can cause more stress推断也不能盲目给孩子太多信息，无形中增加压力。
42．A 猜测词义题。上文提到孩子回家没有时间玩说明作业和活动太多，应减少活动量。
43．B 推理判断题。本文主要介绍孩子压力的来源及减压措施，因此B项是最佳答案，C项relax含义太广，脱离本文主旨。
44．D 作者意图题。本文主要是告诉大家在给野生动物拍照时应该注意的问题。
45．D 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its moods可知答案。
46．B 细节理解题。根据文章最后两段可知去给野生动物拍照前最好考虑到那里的天气情况，预先得到拍照许可，得到专家的支持；而文中第三段说到Do not feed the animals，可知不允许私自喂野生动物，所以也不必为其准备食物。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在一个上午跟朋友争论后因牙痛而去看牙医的故事。文章告诉我们做任何事要学会换位思考，要站在对方的立场考虑问题。站在他人的角度，了解他人的境况、处世方式，人与人之间的关系才会更加和谐。
47．D 推理判断题。根据第一段的描述可知，作者那天上午和朋友发生了争吵，而且牙一直在疼，一直打电话给牙医，但是没有人能立即来，所以可推知那天上午作者很心烦(upset)。本题很容易选错，有的学生根据第四段中的my nervousness很可能会错选B项，其实不然，nervousness只是指作者看病时心里很紧张而不是那天上午整体的心理感受。
48．A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的第三、四句“What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？Why wasn't he as busy as the others？”可知答案为A项，作者怀疑的是为什么这个牙医在这么短的时间内就渴望看病人呢？为什么他不像别的牙医那样忙呢？同时可排除B项，读完全文我们知道，D项“笑着的牙医助理”并未引起作者对牙医的怀疑。C项“医务室的环境”加剧了作者对牙医的怀疑，但这不是最开始引起怀疑的原因。
49．B 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“‘The artwork？’I was puzzled.”可知，作者一开始对于牙医助理所说的the artwork感到困惑，后来发现天花板上有一幅美丽的图画，所以笑了，没想到牙医助理所说的艺术作品就是天花板上的一幅画，由此我们可知，是天花板上的一幅画让作者突然笑了起来。
50．C 推理判断题。根据第一段中朋友所说的话“和你在一起的麻烦就是你不能换位思考。难道你不能从我的角度看待问题吗？”和倒数第二段中的最后一句“在那一刻，我开始明白了朋友的话”可知，选择C项(换位思考)。A项为“趁热打铁”；B项为“为某人的朋友说好话”；D项为“患难朋友才是真正的朋友”。以上三者均不符合题意。

Ⅰ.1.observed 2.reality 3.contemporary
4．traditional 5.aspect 6.imitate 7.adopt
8．painters 9.dislike 10.alive
Ⅱ.1.C 考查词义辨析。living活着的，健在的；alive有生命的，有生气的；live活的，直播的；life名词，意为生命。本题应表示现场直播，故C项正确。
2．A stand表示容忍、承受时，后面常跟名词、代词或动名词，因此选A。句意：他受不了和他妻子的争吵，所以一句话没说就离家而去。

4．A “以……为目标”的表达为：aim at (doing)sth./be aimed at (doing)sth./aim to do sth.因为其后有promoting，故A项正确。
5．D 句意：他得了一场重病，但幸运的是，最后还是活下来了。living意为“活着的”，单独用时作前置定语；live意为“直播的，活生生的”，在句中作定语，lively意为“有生气的；活泼的”，alive意为“活着的”，在句中可作表语，只有D项符合句意和句子结构，故D项正确。

10．C 考查分词作定语，考虑到maps 与borrow 为被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。

15．D 由时间状语up to now可知，此处用现在完成时。

What does an artist want to do？Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public.Not only does he want to say it well，but he wants it to be something which has not been said before.He hopes the public will listen and understand...he wants to teach，and he wants them to learn from him.
What visual (视觉)artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain，because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors，not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors，out of the countless billions possible，is exceptionally (特殊地)interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors，or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take shapes and colors from the world or nature and from human bodies in motion and repose (静态)，their choices show that these fields of the world are worth looking at，that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary (当代的)artists might say that they only choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern，that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous (生疮的)leg and a lake in moonlight，each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something，showing us something and emphasizing something，all of which means that he is trying to teach us.
1．An artist hopes that the public will ________.
A．understand him and learn from him
B．notice only shapes and colors in his work
C．teach him something
D．believe what he says in his work
2．It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because ________.
A．most painters do not express themselves well
B．a painter uses unusual words and phrases
C．a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words
D．many painters do not say anything
3．Without the artist's work，the public might not ________.
A．notice particular shapes or colors
B．see the shapes and colors that express his experiences
C．feel his delight in shapes and colors
D．All of the above.
4．The writer says that contemporary art contains ________.
A．nothing but meaningless patterns
B．uninteresting aspects of the world
C．subjects chosen partly for their meaning
D．completely meaningless subjects

Having crossed mountains and plains，rivers and lakes，some of France's greatest works of art are now on show at China National Museum of Fine Arts.Fifty-one impressionists' (印象派画家)paintings are forming part of an exhibition in Beijing to kick_off the Year of France.
The show is being held in the capital between October 10 to November 27,2012.Then it will move on to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
“It is such a good opportunity to see the masters' work up close，”said Feng Jiajia，a Senior 3 student from the High School Affiliated to the Academy of Art and Design (中央工艺美院附中)．Although Feng is very busy with his studies at the moment he says he will definitely make time to see the exhibition.“I hope it will inspire me and help me with my own work，”he said.
Worth a total of US﹩600 million，the paintings are painted by French Impressionist masters，including Monet，Cezanne，Renior and Degas.
As an art style，impressionism was developed in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.Their work was a fresh and original way of painting.They look like the artist painting a scene after just a quick look at it.
Often painting outside，rather than in a studio，the artists observed nature more directly and tried to catch individual moments in time，especially the changing light of the sun.They avoided black and earth colors and as a result their work is often very bright and can also look like it is shining.
When they first appeared，the artists were criticized for not finishing their paintings and for being lazy.Critics (批评家)said the Impressionists were satisfied with just a few inexact brushstrokes (笔画)instead of completing a real painting.It was an art critic who first used the term “Impressionist” in a review of Monet's work Impression，Sunrise (1873)to satirize (讽刺)his loose，inexact manner of painting.
“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand，as if it were necessary to understand，when it is simply necessary to love，” said Monet.
Monet is the leading figure in the creation of Impressionism.He painted sunlit rivers and gardens with forceful brushstrokes and bright colors，in which objects lose their shape in the light. Monet's painting reached its height in later life with his paintings of Water Lilies (睡莲)．
5．What does the phrase “kick off” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Start. B．Finish.
C．Go on. D．Congratulate.
6．Why do the students want to see the exhibition?
A．Because they are free during that time.
B．Because they think it can inspire them and help them with their own work.
C．Because they can buy some of the famous paintings.
D．Because the paintings are better than the paintings drawn by our own artists.
7．Which is NOT true about the impressionists?
A．They began to paint this kind of paintings about 100 years ago.
B．They often paint outside，not in a studio.
C．Their paintings are very bright and the paintings are shining.
D．Their paintings are not completed at all.
8．What is the critics' real meaning of using “impressionist” to Monet?
A．He is very satisfied with Monet's painting.
B．He thinks Monet's painting is an inexact manner of painting.
C．He doesn't like Monet's painting at all.
D．He can't understand the theme of Monet's painting.
