The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck’s work to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece — have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s The Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on oak produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly a masterpiece in the National Gallery, London. This painting is one of the most famous and intriguing (非常有趣的) paintings in the world. It is also an informative document about the fifteenth century society.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night an oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small village, during his stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France in 1889. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has become one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works now.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs in the late summer. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso, in 1937. The title refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedy of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

B
Search online “work too much” and you’ll get screenfuls of information about the harmful medical, mental and social consequences of spending too much time on the job. However, under current circumstances, the old saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” should be “makes Jack a dead boy.”
A latest study by W.H.O. says that working 55 or more hours a week is a “serious health risk”. It estimates that long working hours led to 745,000 deaths worldwide in 2016, a 29 percent increase over 2000. Men accounted for 72 percent of the deaths; the worst concentrations were in the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia, and particularly among 60 to 79-year-olds who had worked long hours after the age of 45.
These figures make long working hours the biggest work-related health risk of all. Risk of a stroke rises by 35 percent and of deadly heart disease by 17 percent for those who can’t or won’t stop working, compared with people who work 35 to 40 hours a week. The pandemic, and especially remote work, has created new opportunities to work too hard.
The W.H.O. director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, noted that teleworking has blurred the line between work and home and that people who have survived layoffs (裁员) at struggling businesses have ended up working longer hours. One survey found an overwhelming majority of American employees have shortened, postponed or canceled vacations during the pandemic.
The red flags about overwork have been waving for years all around the world. Exhaustion has been identified as a factor in industrial disasters like the BP oil refinery explosion in Texas City in 2005 and the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. In Japan, long working hours are so common that “karoshi,” translated as “death by overwork”, is a legally recognized cause of death.
So, working less is a matter of life and death, isn’t it
21. How does the writer illustrate the risk of overwork in para.3
A. By giving examples. B. By listing opinions.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By describing actions.
22. According to Dr. Ghebreyesus, which of the following is a reason for overworking in the pandemic
A. The inconvenience in traveling.
B. The loss of work-home boundaries.
C. The increased enthusiasm for work.
D. The lack of interest in entertainment.
23. What is the main idea of paragraph 5
A. Working less is a matter of life and death.
B. Japan is known for its culture of overworking.
C. The harm of overwork has long been acknowledged.
D. Overwork is a major reason behind industrial disasters.
24. Where can you most likely find this passage
A. In a college textbook of medicine.
B In a guidebook for workplace newcomers.
C. In the “opinion” column of a newspaper.
D. In the brochure of a Japanese company.
25. What is the meaning of the word “figure”
A. 人物 B. 数字 C. 形象 D. 特征

A. combining; which B. combined; where C. to combine; at which D. combine; when
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和定语从句。句意：作为一名艺术家，吴冠中的目标是将西方艺术原则与中国精神相结合，这是两者可以结合的一个点。根据句型结构分析可知，前一空考查常见句型goal is to do sth 表“目标是为了做什么”，其中用不定式作表语。第二空考查定语从句，先行词为“a point ”，在从句中作状语成分，根据句意可知，第二空可填where/at which。故选C项。
2. The purpose of the program is ________ an open exchange of ideas and information.
A. promote B. to promote C. being promoted D. promoted
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：该计划的目的是促进思想和信息的公开交流。 purpose作主语，用不定式形式作表语，故选B。
【点睛】
3. The purpose of the research is________ more about the causes of the disease.
A. trying to find out B. to try to find out C. trying finding out D. to try finding out
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和短语。句意：这项研究的目的是设法查明关于这种疾病的更多的病因。purpose后常用不定式作表语 ，短语“try to do”表示“设法/努力去做”，“try doing”表示“尝试着做”，根据“the research”并结合句意可知，“设法/努力去做”符合题意。故选B。
【点睛】
4. Her wish is ________ a superstar when she grows up.
A become B. became C. becomes D. to become
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式。句意：她的愿望是长大以后成为一名超级明星。空格处是表语，要用不定式，解释wish 的具体内容，故选D。
5. The next step is ________ sure that you know exactly what it is.
A. made B. makes C. to make D. have made
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：下一步是确保你确切地知道它是什么。此处说明主语的具体内容应用不定式作表语。故选C。
6. Her job is ________ patients in the hospital; but this weekend her task is ________ her granny.
A. nursing; looking after B. nursing; look after
C. to nurse; to look after D. nursing; to look after
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：她的工作是在医院里护理病人；但是这个周末她的任务是照顾她的奶奶。第一空，表示经常发生的一般性行为，应用动名词作表语；第二空根据上文this weekend可知，表示具体的、还未发生的动作，应用不定式作表语。故选D。
7. ________most college graduates want to do is________the ideal job as soon as possible.
A. What, to find B. When, to find C. What, finding D. When, to find
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句及非谓语动词。句意：大多数大学毕业生想做的是尽快找到理想的工作。分析句子结构可知，第一空引导主语从句作is的主语，由于主语从句中to do缺宾语，需要用what引导；第二空作is的表语，动名词作表语表示经常性习惯性的动作，不定式作表语表示未发生的动作，根据句意所以此空填不定式。故选A项。
8. The one thing I hate to do is ________ to bed before I feel tired.
A. go B. to go C. went D. gone
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我讨厌做的一件事就是在我感到累之前就上床睡觉。A.go去，动词原形；B.to go去，动词不定式；Cwent去，动词过去式；D.gone去，动词过去分词。分析句子成分可知用动词不定式作表语。故选B项。
9. All I can do is________ a tricycle and make money for the students.
A. ride. B. to ride C. riding D. rode
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查不定式。句意：我所能做的是骑三轮车为我的学生赚钱。根据句子结构可知，设空处作表语。根据All I can do可知，句子的主语含有do，所以作表语的不定式可以省略to，故填动词原形。故选A项。
10. The question of _____English will continue changing in the future remains _______.
A. if; to be seen B. whether; to see C. whether; to be seen D. if; seen
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句/非谓语动词。句意：英语将来是否会继续发生变化，这个问题还有待观察。分析句子可知，这是一个宾语从句，第一空介词of后接宾语从句，if引导的宾语从句不能充当将介词的宾语，第一空填whether，所以排除A、D两项；第二空的结构为主系表，系动词remain后接表语，根据时间状语in the future（将来）可知事情尚未发生，应使用动词不定式表将来，又因为动词see与主语question逻辑上构成被动关系，所以使用动词不定式被动态，故选C。
11. Being a docile son, I didn’t argue with my parents when I was in elementary school and all I had to do was ____ my room _____ every time at their suggestions.
A. to keep…being tidy B. to keep…to be tidy
C. keep…to be tidy D. keep…tidy
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查keep+宾语+形容词用法。句意：作为一个温顺的儿子，在我上小学的时候，我没有和我的父母争吵，我所要做的就是每次按照他们的建议保持我的房间整洁。如果句子主语中含有实义动词 do 或其变化形式时，则做表语的不定式短语中的 to 可以省略。keep+宾语+形容词，此时是形容词充当宾语补足语，表示当时宾语所处的状态。故选D。
【点睛】keep+宾语+形容词，意为“使…保持某种状态”。此处形容词充当宾语补足语，补充说明宾语所处的状态。如：
Please keep your hair clean.
Don’t keep the door and window closed.
12. Our colleague Tony is said ______ abroad next month. Who do you think our boss would like ______ with him, James or Alex
A. to send; to have gone B. to be sent; to have go
C. to send; to have go D. to be sent; to have gone
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式。句意：我们的同事托尼据说下个月被派往国外。你认为我们老板想让谁跟他一起去，詹姆斯还是亚历克斯 “我们的同事”和“派往国外”之间是被动关系，用不定式的被动式。排除A和C，have为使役动词，所以其后用作宾语补足语的不定式不带to，故选B。
13. Difficult as rumours on social media are _______，the government will step up supervision （监管）so that people will not be easily misled．
A. preventing B. to be prevented
C. to prevent D. being prevented
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：尽管社交媒体上的一些流言很难阻止，但是政府将加强监管使人们不容易被误导。此处是由as引导的让步状语从句，表示"尽管"之意．在这种情况下，as引导的从句可以部分倒装，倒装时形容词可以提前．原句 是"as rumours on social media are difficult _____ "， 又因为"be+形容词+ to do"结构，意为"做某事…（难、容易等）"，用不定式to do主动表被动。故C选项正确。
14. More than one boy of your members ______ to act in the short play, which is ______ tomorrow.
A. are; to be performed B. are; to perform
C. is；to be performed D. is; to perform
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查主谓一致和定语从句。句意：你的成员中不止一个男孩要在这出短剧里表演，这出短剧将于明天上演。在一些短语，如 many a 或 more than one 所修饰的词作主语时，谓语动词多用单数形式，排除A和B；which is ______ tomorrow.是一个定语从句，先行词是the short play，关系词替代先行词，“短剧”和“上演”之间是被动关系，用不定式的被动式，故选C。
15. The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier, _______it more difficult.
A. not make B. not to make C. not making D. don’t make
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式。句意：新技术的目的是使生活更便捷，而不是让生活更困难。动词不定式表示目的，根据句意这里表示否定，用不定式的否定not to do。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据The Arnolfini Portrait部分中的“Jan van Eyck’s The Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on oak produced in 1434(Jan van Eyck的The Arnolfini Portrait，是一幅1434年制作的橡木板上的油画)”，The Starry Night部分中的“Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small village, during his stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France in 1889(1889年，Vincent van Gogh在法国圣雷米附近的精神病院住院期间，在画布上画了一幅油画The Starry Night，这是一幅比较抽象的风景画，描绘了一个小村庄上空富有表现力的夜空。)”，The Harvesters部分中的“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.(The Harvesters是一幅1565年由Pieter Bruegel the Elder完成的木头油画。)”和Guernica部分中的“Guernica, a large oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso, in 1937.(《Guernica是一幅大型油画，由西班牙画家毕加索于1937年创作。)”可知，D项The Arnolfini Portrait是最早创作的画，故选D。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Starry Night部分中的“When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has become one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works now.(1941年，当纽约现代艺术博物馆从一位私人收藏家手中买下这幅画时，它并不为人所知，但现在它已成为文森特·梵高最著名的作品之一。)”可知，《星夜》这幅画在1941年并不有名，即没有得到广泛认可。故选C。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Harvesters部分中的“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs in the late summer.(《收割者》是一幅1565年由Pieter Bruegel the Elder完成的木头油画。它描绘的收获季节，最常见的发生在夏末。)”可知，Pieter Bruegel the Elder创作的这幅画描绘了收获季节，故选A。
【19题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“The painting depicts the horrors of war(这幅画描绘了战争的恐怖)”可知，这幅画描绘了战争的恐怖，因此是反战的象征，symbol的意思是“象征”，故选A。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The following 4 famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck’s work to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece—have stood the test of time.(以下4幅名画——从Jan van Eyck的作品到Pablo Picasso的杰作——都经受住了时间的考验。)”可知，本文要介绍了四副著名艺术家的作品，因此主旨是A选项“A brief introduction of 4 famous paintings.(4幅名画简介。)”。故选A。
B
Search online “work too much” and you’ll get screenfuls of information about the harmful medical, mental and social consequences of spending too much time on the job. However, under current circumstances, the old saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” should be “makes Jack a dead boy.”
A latest study by W.H.O. says that working 55 or more hours a week is a “serious health risk”. It estimates that long working hours led to 745,000 deaths worldwide in 2016, a 29 percent increase over 2000. Men accounted for 72 percent of the deaths; the worst concentrations were in the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia, and particularly among 60 to 79-year-olds who had worked long hours after the age of 45.
These figures make long working hours the biggest work-related health risk of all. Risk of a stroke rises by 35 percent and of deadly heart disease by 17 percent for those who can’t or won’t stop working, compared with people who work 35 to 40 hours a week. The pandemic, and especially remote work, has created new opportunities to work too hard.
The W.H.O. director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, noted that teleworking has blurred the line between work and home and that people who have survived layoffs (裁员) at struggling businesses have ended up working longer hours. One survey found an overwhelming majority of American employees have shortened, postponed or canceled vacations during the pandemic.
The red flags about overwork have been waving for years all around the world. Exhaustion has been identified as a factor in industrial disasters like the BP oil refinery explosion in Texas City in 2005 and the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. In Japan, long working hours are so common that “karoshi,” translated as “death by overwork”, is a legally recognized cause of death.
So, working less is a matter of life and death, isn’t it
21. How does the writer illustrate the risk of overwork in para.3
A. By giving examples. B. By listing opinions.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By describing actions.
22. According to Dr. Ghebreyesus, which of the following is a reason for overworking in the pandemic
A. The inconvenience in traveling.
B. The loss of work-home boundaries.
C. The increased enthusiasm for work.
D. The lack of interest in entertainment.
23. What is the main idea of paragraph 5
A. Working less is a matter of life and death.
B. Japan is known for its culture of overworking.
C. The harm of overwork has long been acknowledged.
D. Overwork is a major reason behind industrial disasters.
24. Where can you most likely find this passage
A. In a college textbook of medicine.
B. In a guidebook for workplace newcomers.
C. In the “opinion” column of a newspaper.
D. In the brochure of a Japanese company.
25. What is the meaning of the word “figure”
A. 人物 B. 数字 C. 形象 D. 特征
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 24. C 25. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是世界卫生组织的一项最新研究表明，每周工作55小时或更长时间是“严重的健康风险”。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“These figures make long working hours the biggest work-related health risk of all. Risk of a stroke rises by 35 percent and of deadly heart disease by 17 percent for those who can’t or won’t stop working, compared with people who work 35 to 40 hours a week.(这些数字表明，长时间工作是所有与工作有关的健康风险中最大的。与每周工作35至40小时的人相比，那些不能或不愿停止工作的人患中风的风险增加了35%，患致命心脏病的风险增加了17%。 )”可知，本段主要讲述了长时间工作成为所有与工作相关的健康风险中最大的一个。为了说明此观点，接下来的内容为具体的事例说明了长时间工作带来的健康的风险。由此可知，论证方式为列举事例。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The W.H.O. director-general, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, noted that teleworking has blurred the line between work and home and that people who have survived layoffs (裁员) at struggling businesses have ended up working longer hours.(世卫组织总干事Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus指出，远程办公模糊了工作和家庭之间的界限，那些在陷入困境的企业裁员中幸存下来的人，最终工作时间更长了。)”可知，在Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus博士看来，由于远程办公模糊了工作和家庭之间的界限，使得疫情中工作的人们的工作时间更长了。故选B。
【23题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段前两句“The red flags about overwork have been waving for years all around the world. Exhaustion has been identified as a factor in industrial disasters like the BP oil refinery explosion in Texas City in 2005 and the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island.(关于过度工作的危险信号多年来一直在世界各地飘扬。筋疲力尽已被确定为工业灾难的一个因素，如2005年德克萨斯市BP炼油厂爆炸和Three Mile Island核事故。)”可知，本段主要讲述了多年来世界各地都承认过度劳累会带来危险。故选C。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“However, under current circumstances, the old saying “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” should be “makes Jack a dead boy.”(然而，在目前的情况下，老话说得好：“只工作不玩耍，聪明的孩子也变傻。”应该是“让杰克变成死人”)”及第二段第一句“A latest study by W.H.O. says that working 55 or more hours a week is a “serious health risk”.(世界卫生组织的一项最新研究称，每周工作55小时或更长时间是一种“严重的健康风险”。)”可知，本文论述了长时间工作已成为“严重的健康风险”，因此文章很有可能出自报纸上的“观点”栏目。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“It estimates that long working hours led to 745,000 deaths worldwide in 2016, a 29 percent increase over 2000. Men accounted for 72 percent of the deaths; the worst concentrations were in the Western Pacific and Southeast Asia, and particularly among 60- to 79-year-olds who had worked long hours after the age of 45.(据估计，2016年，长时间工作导致全球74.5万人死亡，比2000年增加29%。男性占死亡人数的72%；最严重的集中在西太平洋和东南亚，特别是在45岁以后工作时间很长的60至79岁的人群中。)”和第三段“These figures(这些figures)”可知，第二段列举了很多的数字，因此These figures的意思是“这些数字”，figures的意思是“数字”。故选B。

第二节 中英互译（10分）
36. Their works were often primitive and two-dimensional, and the main characters were often made much larger than everyone else to show their importance. (英译汉)
【答案】他们的作品往往是原始的、二维的，主要的字往往比其他的都要大得多，以显示它们的重要性。
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词，时态，语态，主谓一致和不定式。Their works是句子的主语，意为“他们的作品”，“were often primitive and two-dimensional”中were是be动词，“often primitive and two-dimensional”作表语，翻译为“往往是原始的、二维的”，“the main characters”是and后的句子中的主语，意为“主要的字”，“were often made much larger than everyone else”是一般过去时的被动语态，make意为“使”，larger是比较级，much是修饰比较级的，本部分翻译为“往往比其他的都要大得多”，“to show their importance”是不定式表目的，意为“以显示它们的重要性”，因此整句话翻译为“他们的作品往往是原始的、二维的，主要的字往往比其他的都要大得多，以显示它们的重要性”。故答案为“他们的作品往往是原始的、二维的，主要的字往往比其他的都要大得多，以显示它们的重要性”。
37. As a result, painters concentrated less on religious themes. (英译汉)
【答案】因此，画家较少关注宗教主题。
【解析】

38. Though it was over 500 years old, it looks as fresh and full life as the day it was created. (英译汉)
【答案】虽然它已经有500多年的历史了，但它看起来和它被创造的那天一样新鲜和充满活力。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构和从句。分析句子可知，该句为连词Though表示“尽管”引导的让步状语从句，在该从句中，主语为代词it，谓语动词为was，over 500 years old为介词短语作表语，意为“超过500年”；在主句中，主语为代词it，谓语为looks表示“看起来”；as fresh and full life as the day it was created，为as…as…表示“像……一样”的固定句型，此处可译为：和它被创造的那天一样新鲜和充满活力。故翻译为：虽然它已经有500多年的历史了，但它看起来和它被创造的那天一样新鲜和充满活力。
39. 根据现代心理学，我们必须首先学会“习惯循环”。(汉译英)
【答案】According to modern psychology, we must first learn the “habit cycle.”
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和情态动词。“根据现代心理学”是according to modern psychology，“我们必须”是we must，“首先”是first，“学会”是learn，“习惯循环”是habit cycle，因此整句话翻译为“According to modern psychology, we must first learn the “habit cycle.””。故答案为According to modern psychology, we must first learn the “habit cycle.”
40. 如果我们不立刻成功，那我们会变得很悲观。(汉译英)
【答案】If we don’t succeed right away, we will become pessimistic.
【解析】
【详解】考查条件状语从句，时态，主谓一致，固定短语和形容词。“如果我们不立刻成功”用if引导条件状语从句，用一般现在时表将来，“成功”是succeed，主语是we，是复数，后面用don’t表示“不”，“立刻”是right away，即条件状语从句翻译为：If we don’t succeed right away；“那我们会变得很悲观”用一般将来时，“我们”是we，“变得很悲观”是become pessimistic，因此主句翻译为“we will become pessimistic”。故答案为If we don’t succeed right away, we will become pessimistic。
