Best of British: Artists’ residences
Get up close with the inspiring places Britain’s most vibrant artists called home.
Red House, London
Nothing better represents the commitment of William Morris, the creative genius of interiors (内饰) to beauty than his striking home in London. From delicate patterns on the doors, to the decorated gardens, the Red House shows a strong medieval style.
The Mackintosh House, Glasgow
Located on the site of the former home of legendary architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, the reconstructed Mackintosh House offers a rare insight into their private lives. Furnished with the couple’s own furniture, everything has been considered in order to recreate the original interior as faithfully as possible.
Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Cornwall
Though she was born in Yorkshire, British sculptor (雕塑家) Barbara Hepworth moved to Cornwall and stayed there for the rest of her life. She claimed that there was a quality of inspiration to be drawn from the Cornish skyline and sea view that she simply couldn’t obtain from the city. It was Hepworth’s wish that her home would be turned into a museum of her work.
Henry Moore Foundation, Hertfordshire
Sculptor Henry Moore found his Muse in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Perry Green and created many of his most famous works there. Unlike traditional galleries, visitors can get close with these impressive structures. Access to Moore’s home is through guided tours only.

He passed away many years ago. Father of the year (年度最佳父亲), my dad was not. That said, in some ways, he was a better parent than many dads are today.
He loved to attend my hockey (曲棍球) games. He tied my skates for years when I was young. But he didn’t go to a single one of the hundreds of soccer games I played as a kid. I didn’t care. All I wanted from my parents was a ride to the game. I was there to see my friends, not perform for Mom and Dad.
That’s why I don’t understand helicopter parents, the ones who suffer from great guilt and shame if they can’t make every single piano practice or football game. Your kids probably don’t care. Let them go and have some fun. All that matters is that you drop them off and pick them up on time. Consistency is king.
Of course, when kids are really young, they want to spend time with you. And they want you, the parent, to be focused on spending time with them, not checking your phone. “Wherever you are, be there,” said the great Jim Rohn.
My dad never had a cell phone. He never used the Internet. I don’t even think he ever touched a computer. But even if he did have a phone, I can’t imagine him checking when we would play catch in the backyard.
He was present. Every day in the summer, right after lunch, we’d play catch. He’d teach me how to throw a curve ball (曲线球). Sometimes he’d pitch to me, and when he’d hit me with a fastball, he’d say, “That’ll toughen you up.” We’d play until we lost all of the balls in the garden, not until he was distracted by a cellphone. Jim Rohn would have approved of his presence, although perhaps not his attitude about fastballs.
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards his father
A. Ashamed. B. Satisfactory. C. Critical. D. Sympathetic.
5.What do the underlined words “helicopter parents” in paragraph 3 refer to

B. To tell parents to keep in touch with their kids.
C. To tell parents to value the time with their kids.
D. To tell parents to follow their kids wherever they go.
7.What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs

C. His father was energetic. D. His father was present.
Several years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on a concussion (脑震荡) research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through my mind.
Professional sports get the lion’s share of attention, but over three million children and teenagers in the United States play the same game. This directly places concussions as a significant public health concern for all.
However, for decades, concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences. Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and “play through the pain” as a sign of toughness. In 2005, with the release of the brain tissue pathology (病理学) report of Mike Webster a, a retired National Football League player, our thinking on concussion began to shift. Since then, public attention has focused on this link between brain injury and blows to the head. As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance as an injury, so too did the development of player equipment.
In the early 1900s football was played without helmets (头盔), but severe injuries, like skull fractures, led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s.The first facemask entered the game in the 1950s. Modern helmets use advanced shell materials, have moveable panels to absorb forces, and multi-layered padding that responds to different panies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available, guided by the newest science.
Sports are an important part of a society’s culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise. Yet, participation in any sport carries injury risk, and concussion will always be part of that. As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or even career, ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.
8.What made the author feel concerned
A. The coach’s in experience.
B. The physical conflicts among the players.
C. Unawareness of the potential injuries.
D. Unpredictable outcome of the project.
9.What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussion
A. They tended to ignore it.
B. They felt scared about it.
C. They quit playing immediately.
D. They refused medical assistance.
10.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmet
A. Its gradual improvement.
B. Its widespread influence.
C. The discovery of its new materials.
D. The difficulty of its mass production.
11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Exercise is vital for children.
B. Sports safety can’t be overemphasized.
C. No participation in sports is without injuries.
D. Concussion is the most common injury in sports.
What do Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, and Frodo all have in common with the heroes of ancient myths Joseph Campbell studied myths from all over the world and published a book called “The Hero with a Thousand Faces”, retelling dozens of stories and explaining how each represents the mono-myth, or Hero’s Journey. So, what is the “hero’s journey”?
He thinks of it as a cycle in his book. The journey begins with the hero receiving a mysterious message, an invitation, or a challenge. After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero’s darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories. After all that adventure, the hero returns to his ordinary world, but upgrades to a new level. Nothing is quite the same once you are a hero.
The Hero’s Journey myth exists in all human cultures and keeps getting updated, because we humans reflect on our world through symbolic stories of our own lives. You leave your comfort zone, have an experience that transforms you and then you recover and do it again. You don’t literally slay dragons or fight Voldemort, but you face problems just as scary. Joseph Campbell said, “In the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek.”
What is the symbolic cave then you fear to enter Auditions for the school play Baseball tryouts The paper due
Watch for this formula in books, movies, and TV shows you come across. You will certainly see it again. Also be sensitive to it in your own life. Listen for your call to adventure. Accept the challenge. Conquer your fear and claim the treasure you seek. And then, do it all over again.
12.What is the correct order of the following stages of the “Hero’s journey”?
①Return to the ordinary world but outgrow his old life.
②Receive the call to adventure and assistance from a wiser.
③Set out on the adventure and go through a series of tough trials.
④Face the life-or-death crisis and be reborn with some special power.
A. ①②③④ B. ②④①③ C. ②③④① D. ③②④①
13.Why is Hero’s Journey myth so popular
A. Because it’s a way to reflect on our world.
B. Because it’s a way to learn about the past.
C. Because these stories are always being updated.
D. Because these stories are part of human culture.
14.Which of the following may the author disagree with
A. We all need a “cave” to hide in face of danger.
B. Our comfort zone will hinder our development.
C. Difficulties we face tend to be treasures in life.
D. We should overcome our fears faced with danger.
15.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Hero with a Thousand Faces. B. The Hero’s Journey.
C. How to Conquer Your Fear. D. Be Your Own Hero.

I grew up on a university campus in eastern Nigeria. I was a(n) 1 reader, and what I read were British and American children's books. I began to write when I was seven.

Trust
“Settle down!” Mr. Taylor was trying to calm the boys with a loud voice. The moment they entered the gym and saw the climbing walls towering over them, the boys got excited and started making noises. But Stevie was an exception, who was standing aside looking at his thin arms silently. Stevie didn’t like climbing. It wasn’t his thing. Getting along with people wasn’t his thing, either. He just felt nobody liked or trusted him at school.
Then came the coach, who taught the boys some basic skills. He said everyone should have a climbing partner and showed them how to belay (保护) their partner. “If you are a climber, trust your belayer and challenge yourself. Belayers, please remember that your partner’s life depends on you.”
The moment he finished, the boys couldn’t wait to match themselves with a partner except Stevie, who was left alone wandering around the gym. Noticing his embarrassment, Mr. Taylor raised his voice and said, “I need someone I can really trust to team up with!” He looked around. Then his gaze fell upon Stevie. “How about you, Stevie Would you like to be my belayer ” “Me ” Stevie widened his eyes, surprised to hear Mr. Taylor even say his name. He had thought he was invisible. “I guess,” Stevie managed a weak smile.
Nervous as he was, he plucked up courage. “It doesn’t matter who gets to the top first. It’s about giving it a go.” Hearing Mr. Taylor’s words, Stevie gritted (咬紧牙关) his teeth and moved up slowly, his face pressed against the rough surface. “Done it!” Stevie finally called from the top with excitement. Then Mr. Taylor started to let him down through a perfect control of the rope.“Well done,” said Mr. Taylor when Stevie landed on the floor.
Now it’s Stevie’s turn to control the rope. Bearing in mind his responsibility, Stevie carefully watched as Mr. Taylor climbed up, pulling in the rope hand over hand. He felt his heart racing wildly. Finally, Mr. Taylor arrived at the top. “Ready to let me down now ” said Mr. Taylor. “Okay,” Stevie took a deep breath, his palms sweating uncontrollably.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Stevie loosened the grip, the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected.

Suddenly, the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them.

After crossing the threshold from his safe home to adventure, with some help probably from someone older, wiser, our hero solves a riddle, slays a monster, escapes from a trap. The hero’s darkest hour then comes, when he faces death and possibly even dies, only to be reborn. As a result, the hero claims some treasure, special recognition, or power, which can vary between stories.

In these activities, your kids can also learn important lessons like respecting others and teamwork.(在一个孩子们花越来越多的时间待在室内、盯着屏幕的世界里,避免儿童肥胖已经成为一个真正的问题。但是,如果你的孩子对某项运动表现出任何兴趣(即使只是在iPad上看),抓住机会,向他们介绍一些以上述体育活动为重点的课外活动。在这些活动中,你的孩子也可以学到重要的课程,如尊重他人和团队合作)”可知,空前讲述的是运动可以帮助孩子学会尊重他人和团队合作。选项G“Most importantly, your children can develop their mental strength while doing sports(最重要的是,你的孩子可以在运动中发展他们的智力)”与上文内容一致,介绍的是运动还可以发展孩子的智力。故选G。

32.答案:①an②ceremonies③opened④Named⑤valuable⑥including⑦deeply⑧have paid⑨which⑩that
解析:①考查冠词。句意:上周五,故宫博物院藏品中与春节传统和清朝皇室仪式相关的文物展览在澳门特别行政区开幕。可数名词exhibition在句中表示“一次展览”,泛指,exhibition发音以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
②考查名词。句意:上周五,故宫博物院藏品中与春节传统和清朝皇室仪式相关的文物展览在澳门特别行政区开幕。根据句意“清朝皇家的仪式”应该不止一个仪式,用复数形式ceremonies。故填ceremonies。
③考查动词时态。句意:上周五,故宫博物院藏品中与春节传统和清朝皇室仪式相关的文物展览在澳门特别行政区开幕。分析句子可知,open(开始营业,开幕)是句中谓语动词,与主语(an) exhibition之间是主动关系,句中有时间状语Last Friday,应使用一般过去时态。故填opened。
④考查非谓语动词。句意:分析句子可知,name( 命名,给……取名)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语the exhibition之间是被动关系,且“命名”这一动作已经完成,所以应用过去分词,表示被动和完成;句首单词首字母大写。故填Named。
⑤考查形容词。句意:此次展览名为“吉祥开端:紫禁城的春节传统”,展出了100多件珍贵的器物、绘画、服装和乐器,展示了传统的春节仪式,包括家庭团聚、茶宴,以及滑冰比赛、烟花和中国戏剧等娱乐活动。提示词修饰名词items,作定语,用形容词valuable,意为“值钱的,贵重的”。故填valuable。
⑥考查介词。句意:此次展览名为“吉祥开端:紫禁城的春节传统”,展出了100多件珍贵的器物、绘画、服装和乐器,展示了传统的春节仪式,包括家庭团聚、茶宴,以及滑冰比赛、烟花和中国戏剧等娱乐活动。用介词including构成介词短语,作后置定语,意为“包括,包含”。故填including。
⑦考查副词。句意:澳门特别行政区政府文化局局长梁伟文表示,她希望观众能够深入了解中国传统文化。提示词修饰动词understand,用副词作状语,结合句意,表示“深刻地(理解)”,表示一种程度,应用副词deeply。故填deeply。
⑧考查动词时态。句意:到目前为止,已有大量参观者参观了该展览,这体现了当地人民对中国传统文化的热情。分析句子可知,(pay) a visit(参观)是句中谓语,与主语A large number of visitors之间是主动关系,句中有时间状语so far,应使用现在完成时态,“A large number of+复数名词”作主语,谓语动词使用复数形式。综上,谓语应用现在完成的主动语态,复数形式。故填have paid。
⑨考查定语从句。句意:到目前为止,已有大量参观者参观了该展览,这体现了当地人民对中国传统文化的热情。分析句子可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,关系词代替句中所述之事在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
⑩考查名词性从句。句意:毫无疑问,将来会有越来越多的人喜欢中国文化。There is no doubt that...是固定句型,意为“毫无疑问,……”,其中that引导同位语从名。故填that。

34.答案:
As Stevie loosened the grip, the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected. Suddenly, Mr. Taylor dropped like a stone. Stevie let out a little scream. The picture of Mr. Taylor hitting the ground flashed over his mind. He quickly gripped the rope, bringing Mr. Taylor to a sudden stop. Regretful and cautious, Stevie looked up and saw Mr. Taylor wearing a smile and encouraging him with an inspiring gesture, which made him less nervous. Then he restarted loosening the grip slowly. Finally, Mr. Taylor dropped smoothly down to the bottom and signaled to Stevie with a thumb up. “You made it!”
Suddenly, the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them. When Mr. Taylor stepped forward and gave Stevie a big hug, a ripple of excitement and pride ran through him. From that day on, Stevie opened his heart to the people around him. He made new friends at school. He even fell in love with climbing where he was regarded as a trustworthy teammate. Grateful to Mr. Taylor, he knew deep down in his heart that it was his teacher’s trust that allowed him to embrace his new self and others.
解析:1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当Stevie松开手时,绳子从他手中滑过,比预期的要快得多。”可知,第一段可描写Stevie因为紧张握不紧绳子,绳子快速下降就意味着Taylor有摔下来的危险;由第二段首句内容“突然,男孩们爆发出热烈的掌声,高声鼓励他们。”可知,第一段段尾可描述在Taylor的鼓励下Stevie设法控制住了绳子,Taylor安全着陆。
②由第二段首句内容“突然,男孩们爆发出热烈的掌声,高声鼓励他们。”可知,第二段可描写Taylor安全着陆后与Stevie的互动以及Stevie的感受;第二段段末可描述Stevie的变化与自我突破,以及对Taylor的感激。
2. 续写线索:在鼓励与信任下设法控制住绳索——Taylor安全着陆——感到兴奋自豪——实现自我突破——感激鼓励与信任
3. 词汇激活:
行为类:
①抓住绳索:grip the rope/keep a tight grip on the rope
②大声喊叫:yell/shout
③拥抱:give sb a big hug/hug sb
情绪类:
①兴奋、自豪:a ripple of excitement and pride run through sb/sb feel excited and proud
