A
Painting Master Class examines 100 of the most fascinating paintings by the world’s greatest artists, exploring the way they were made, and how and what we can learn from them with detailed analyses. Below are the four masterpieces students prefer.
The Empire of Light is a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte. Between 1953 and 1954, he painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.
Racing Horse is a painting by Xu Beihong. In 1941 he painted a racing horse running at a high speed like a missile across the sky. The horse in the masterpiece is painted with a typical Western perspective but very traditional Chinese ink brushwork. Xu cleverly drew in black ink to show the moving hair on the horse’s mane and tail.
The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mental illness. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window — the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. Influenced by Impressionism, he also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree. His unusual use of colour has led experts to think that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected his sense of sight.
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear — the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against an orange-red sky. Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
30. Which of the following was painted latest
A. The Scream. B. The Starry Night. C. Racing Horse. D. The Empire of Light.
31. Whose painting combines Western and Chinese painting style
A. Edvard Munch’s. B. Vincent van Gogh’s. C. Xu Beihong’s. D. René Magritte’s.
32. What kind of painting is The Starry Night
A. An ink painting of stars. B. A series of paintings about the night sky.
C. A painting inspired by Impressionism. D. A figure painting of Vincent van Gogh.
【答案】30. D 31. C 32. C
【解析】

In 1941 he painted a racing horse running at a high speed like a missile across the sky.（《奔马图》是徐悲鸿的一幅画。1941年，他画了一匹疾速奔跑的赛马，就像一枚导弹划过天空。）”、第四段中“The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mental illness.（《星月夜》创作于1889年6月，当时文森特·梵高因精神疾病住在家中。）”和第五段中“The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893.（《呐喊》是爱德华·蒙克1893年创作的。）”可知，这四幅画中《帝国之光》创作的时间最晚。故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The horse in the masterpiece is painted with a typical Western perspective but very traditional Chinese ink brushwork.（这幅杰作中的马采用了典型的西方视角，但非常传统的中国水墨笔法。）”可知，徐悲鸿的画作融合了中西方绘画的风格。故选C项。

B
In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections (注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.
When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章讲述了宠物在加拿大人心中的地位，以及加拿大人热爱动物的具体表现。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. (在加拿大，你几乎每个家庭都能找到狗、猫、马等。这些是他们的宠物。人们喜欢这些宠物，把它们当作自己的好朋友。)”可知，文章讲述了宠物在加拿大人心中的地位，以及加拿大人热爱动物的具体表现。所以B选项“加拿大人把宠物当作朋友”符合文章大意，故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections (注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. (在他们把它们养在家里之前，他们会把它们带到动物医院给它们注射，这样它们就不会携带疾病。)”可知给宠物接受注射是防止它们携带病毒，也是为了保证它们安全，故选A。
【35题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. (你还会发现，几乎每个家庭的花园里都有一个bird feeder。欢迎各种各样的鸟儿来这里美餐一顿。)”可猜测bird feeder是装鸟食的容器，故选C。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. (他们有专门的动物食品商店，尽管他们可以在几乎所有的商店买到动物食品。)”可知A选项和文章不符；B选项和C选项文中并未提及；再第二段“You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. (你还会发现，几乎每个家庭的花园里都有一个喂食器。欢迎各种各样的鸟儿来这里美餐一顿。)”可知任何鸟都可以到喂食器来吃食物，所以D选项和文章相符，故选D。
C
I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even when my electricity was cut off and I woke up at 5:30 am to pitch blackness, I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Even poverty could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.(没有多少人对我有很大的期望，所以我必须对自己有所期待)”可知，很少有人对作者有很大的期望，所以他得对自己有较高的期望。故选D项。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.(这张海报给了我勇气，我给大约50名哈佛学生发了封电子邮件，这样我就可以征求他们对我的申请论文的反馈；它给了我精力，让我在朋友们睡觉的时候为SAT考试再学习一个小时；这也让我下定决心，在已经有180人拒绝我的情况下，再提交一份奖学金申请)”可知，作者为了实现到哈佛大学求学的梦想，用更多的时间学习，为考试做准备。故选C项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Reminding myself of my goal each day(每天都提醒自己我的目标)”及“The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.(这张海报给了我勇气，我给大约50名哈佛学生发了封电子邮件，这样我就可以征求他们对我的申请论文的反馈；它给了我精力，让我在朋友们睡觉的时候为SAT考试再学习一个小时；这也让我下定决心，在已经有180人拒绝我的情况下，再提交一份奖学金申请)”可知，作者用挂在卧室的哈佛海报来每天提醒自己努力学习，将更多的时间用在学习上，为考试做准备。由此推知，作者对于自己设立的目标很坚定，也很刻苦。故选D项。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者家境贫寒，但是通过坚持不懈的努力，刻苦学习，最终实现到哈佛读书梦想的故事。由此可知，“坚持不懈可以实现梦想”能够概括文章主旨。故选B项。
D
The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice.
41. What will homes of the future be like
A. They will be completely different from those of today.
B. They will be very similar to our homes.
C. They will be movable as you want.
D. They will be different from one another.
42. Space trips and staying in space hotels will_________.
A. become a very common way to spend a holiday
B. be the cheapest holiday choice for families
C. still only be for very rich people
D. attract a lot of people
43. Why will e-paper replace traditional paper
A. Because it won’t waste natural resource.
B. Because young people like it.
C. Because it will be cheaper to produce.
D. Because it will be convenient to carry.
44. We will have to move to another planet_________.
A. if we want to live a better life
B. if we want to save the human race
C. when the earth explodes
D. when the earth is too crowded to live on
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. A 44. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了未来生活状况，如我们未来的家、职业、太空旅行和可重复利用的电子纸等。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. (未来的家不会完全不同，我们将像今天一样住在房子和公寓里。但是人们会想要改造他们的家来满足他们的梦想。没有两个家是一样的。)”可知未来的家将彼此都不同，故选D。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. (太空假期将在未来发展，但这些假期并不适合每个人，因为它们并不便宜。)”可知太空假期很贵，所以太空旅行和住在太空旅馆仍然只适合富人。故选C。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper. (纸在未来将不复存在。取而代之的是人们可以反复使用的电子纸。这将发展，以节省自然资源。)”可知电子纸会取代传统纸张是因为它不会浪费自然资源。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice. (物理定律告诉我们地球在将来的某个时候会消失。这不会在明天发生，但科学家预测，这将在50亿年后太阳爆炸时发生。我们将不得不探索宇宙，寻找另一个家园。在遥远未来的某个时刻，我们要么留在地球上，和它一起死去，要么离开地球，搬到另一个星球去。没有别的选择了。)”可知科学家预测在50亿年后太阳爆炸时，地球会消失，所以推断如果我们想拯救人类，就不得不搬到另一个星球去，故选B。

【点睛】七选五
七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全作对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力。这种题一般可从以下方面来做：
（1）看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。首段的末句一般是全文的主题所在，首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题具有重要意义。
（2）首先快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置。
（3）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。比如小题4，根据空前“If you already have a busy school life, volunteer your time for an hour or two a week, or perhaps one day a month. ”如果你已经有一个繁忙的学校生活,一周做一两个小时的志愿者，或者一个月做一天志愿者；以及空后“Then, if you find you enjoy the work and have more time to do it, take on more time by time.” 那么，如果你发现你喜欢这份工作，并且有更多的时间去做，越做时间越长。可知G. You might be surprised by how much you can do in even a little bit of time.“你可能会惊讶于你在一点点时间内就能做到这么多。”承接上下文，符合语境，故选G。
（4）看选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语。实现关键词的对接，先易后难，各个突破。此外要通过句子的逻辑关系或句子的标点来判断该句在文章的位置。
（5） 解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段。尤其要注意代词，连词等。如表示转折关系的but，though, however 等。

二、阅读理解。(每题2分，共40分。)
A
Painting Master Class examines 100 of the most fascinating paintings by the world’s greatest artists, exploring the way they were made, and how and what we can learn from them with detailed analyses. Below are the four masterpieces students prefer.
The Empire of Light is a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte. Between 1953 and 1954, he painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.
Racing Horse is a painting by Xu Beihong. In 1941 he painted a racing horse running at a high speed like a missile across the sky. The horse in the masterpiece is painted with a typical Western perspective but very traditional Chinese ink brushwork. Xu cleverly drew in black ink to show the moving hair on the horse’s mane and tail.
The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mental illness. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window — the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. Influenced by Impressionism, he also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree. His unusual use of colour has led experts to think that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected his sense of sight.
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear — the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against an orange-red sky. Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
30. Which of the following was painted latest
A. The Scream. B. The Starry Night. C. Racing Horse. D. The Empire of Light.
31. Whose painting combines Western and Chinese painting style
A. Edvard Munch’s. B. Vincent van Gogh’s. C. Xu Beihong’s. D. René Magritte’s.
32. What kind of painting is The Starry Night
A. An ink painting of stars. B. A series of paintings about the night sky.
C. A painting inspired by Impressionism. D. A figure painting of Vincent van Gogh.
B
In Canada you can find dogs cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections (注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.
When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
33. The passage mainly talks about __________.
A. how to keep diseases from pets B. Canadians have pets as friends
C. how to take good care of pets D. life of the old in Canada

36. Which of the following is TRUE

B. Pets eat better than people.
C. Almost every family has a birdcage (鸟笼) in his house.
D. Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat.

I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even when my electricity was cut off and I woke up at 5:30 am to pitch blackness, I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Even poverty could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow
37. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph

A. He learnt from his peers from time to time.
B. He often wrote feedbacks on others’ essays.

40. Which of the following can be the main idea of the text

C. The longest journey begins with the first step.
D. Your success in life lies in your hardship in the past.
D
The home of the future won’t be completely different and we will be living in houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy “house kits” containing a basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won’t disappear because machines can’t replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won’t be for everyone because they won’t be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century, there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won’t exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future. This isn’t going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we leave and move to another planet. There won’t be any other choice.
41. What will homes of the future be like
A. They will be completely different from those of today.
B. They will be very similar to our homes.
C. They will be movable as you want.
D. They will be different from one another.
42. Space trips and staying in space hotels will_________.
A. become a very common way to spend a holiday
B. be the cheapest holiday choice for families
C. still only be for very rich people
D. attract a lot of people
43. Why will e-paper replace traditional paper
A. Because it won’t waste natural resource.
B. Because young people like it.
C. Because it will be cheaper to produce.
D. Because it will be convenient to carry.
44. We will have to move to another planet_________.
A. if we want to live a better life
B if we want to save the human race
C. when the earth explodes
D. when the earth is too crowded to live on
F
