Most Famous Paintings in the World
Among the millions of paintings that are created and shown in galleries and museums all around the world, a very small number of them go beyond time and make history. Below are some examples.
The Persistence of Memory — Salvador Dali. Painted in 1931, The Persistence of Memory is one of the most recognizable pieces in art history. This work is known to make people reflect on their way of life and the way they spend their time, and it is also thought that Albert Einstein’s well-known Theory of Relativity gave Dali the idea for this wonderful painting.
Girl with a Pearl Earring — Johannes Vermeer. Considered by many to be “the Dutch Mona Lisa”, this beautiful painting features an unnamed young woman looking over her shoulder to stare directly at the viewer. It was completed in 1665 and is exhibited in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Guernica — Pablo Picasso. The famous painting by Picasso was completed in 1937. It was painted in Paris following the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. The painting is on permanent display in the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain.
Starry Night — Vincent van Gogh. Painted in 1889, Starry Night is one of the most famous paintings in modern culture, which is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It is based on van Gogh’s direct observations as well as his imagination, memories, and emotions and was the inspiration for the song Vincent (also known as Starry, Starry Night).

I’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected.
I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others. Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to their destinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.
I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school. But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving.
I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media. Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away.
As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything. As these connections grew, my natural personality began to reappear.
24. What led to the author becoming shy
A. The heavy academic burden.
B. Fearing to talk to strangers.
C. The loneliness of being abroad.
D. Being unfamiliar with the new school.
25. What did the author volunteer to do
A. Help with old people’s daily life.
B. Provide transportation for the old.
C. Communicate with senior citizens.
D. Accompany old people to downtown.
26. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “poise” in paragraph 3
A. Strength. B. Courage.
C. Calmness. D. Enthusiasm.
27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A. She did very well on her research in the end.
B. She experienced a sense of incompetence.
C. She regained herself.
D. Even the best student faced the same challenge as hers.
C
Forgiving doesn’t mean saying the pain doesn’t matter or what the other person said or did was OK. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means letting go of your need for an apology. It means making peace with past hurt and pain. It means choosing to move on. All of this is easy to say, hard to do. But forgiveness can happen in a series of small steps over time.
Take your feelings seriously. Forgiving doesn’t mean shrugging your shoulders and saying “Oh, well.” Cry, feel sad, throw things hard, or write angry passages in your diary to get rid of some of the stress. Talk with trusted friends or family to ask for advice to help find solutions to your problems. You have the right to feel hurt and angry. But suffering these feelings over time does you great harm.
Make a difference in your life. I’ve seen that many miss the opportunity for getting back a good relationship with someone else because they just wait for the apology that may never come. Others stay stuck in anger long after the other person has stopped to be a part of their lives. Make a decision to make a difference for yourself. That may be forgiving or being the first to reach out to the other so that you can move on with your own life.
Forgive yourself and engage in positive self-talk. Although you may mainly blame the other person, it’s important to forgive yourself with positive self-talk. Feel certain that you can learn from this and move on. Tell yourself that you will survive this pain and that life will get better because you can make a choice to let go.
Try understanding the other. This doesn’t reduce your pain but may make what happened more understandable. Understanding doesn’t forgive hurtful behavior, but understanding can help to get rid of your anger and to forgive.
Realize that forgiveness benefits you most of all. The other person may never know about your forgiveness. But forgiving and letting go can lighten the load on your body and on your spirit.
28. What does forgiving mean according to the text
A. The pain the other person brought you isn’t very serious.
B. What the other person has said or done doesn’t hurt you.
C. You don’t care and have forgotten what happened to you.
D. You needn’t the other person to say sorry to you any more.
29. What is the attitude of the author to getting angry according to paragraph 2
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Objective. D. Uncertain.
30. What should you do if you have a quarrel with your close friend according to paragraph 3
A. Wait for your friend’s apology.
B. Take the initiative to say hello to your friend.
C. Try your best to forget your problem.
D. Have positive self-talk.
31. What does the text mainly talk about
A. How to forgive other people.
B. Forgiveness is helpful for us all.
C. Understanding can help forgive others.
D. Life gets better if you choose to forgive.
D
Earth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to “deep life” studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world’s oceans. Despite extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms (微生物). “It’s like finding a whole new reservoir (储藏) of life on Earth,” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent of Earth’s bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun. Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but to replace or repair broken parts. Lengths of their lives were completely different. Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions. They’re just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.
The team consists of 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics. A year before the conclusion of their study, they will present the findings before the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting opens this week, which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.
The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig, the more life they find. There is a temperature maximum — currently 122℃ — but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.
Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes, and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved.
32. What do the scientists find about the underground organisms
A. They can’t reproduce and divide.
B. They’re the oldest living things.
C. Some of them consume no energy.
D. Some of them almost always keep still.
33. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 3
A. It lasts for around one year.
B. It is conducted in 52 countries.
C. It promotes technical development.
D. It involves efforts from multiple fields.
34. Why do the scientists drill deep
A. To break their previous record.
B. To find the depth limit of life.
C. To discover more ancient microorganisms.
D. To detect the highest subsurface temperature.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Earth’s Depths Are Full of Life
B. Organisms Live Better Underground
C. Earth Is Far Beyond Human Exploration
D. Subsurface Life Differs from That on Land
第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended What is going on here Is your memory failing
It’s not. 36 Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to record everything we experience. 37 Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget
38 Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you’re exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus (刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. 39 Why does this happen The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation (激活) of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. 40
A. One necessary factor is attention.
B. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D. Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn’t.
E. You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F. It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G. Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.

Whether you are only beginning to run or have already made a practice of it, design a training schedule 58 (base) on your current abilities. Forget “no pains, no gains.” Resist the urge 59 (push) yourself too hard or too fast. Keep your runs sensible and achievable, especially in the beginning. Running is an exercise with a risk of 60 (injure), especially for beginners. The tortoise-wins-the-race manner will decrease your chance of hurting 61 (you). If you have little or no miles under your belt, shift between running and 62 (walk) in the beginning. Jog for one minute , and then walk for four. Repeat three more times for a total workout of 20 63 (minute). As the one-minute jogging intervals (间歇) become easier from one workout to the next, double them 64 two minutes each and decrease the walking intervals to three. Continue to increase the jogging and decrease the walking over time until you are 65 (comfortable) running for a total 20-minute stretch.

本文是一篇说明文。众所周知，坚持长跑可以锻炼人的耐力，提高心肺功能，减肥塑身。但对于初次练习长跑的人来说，还应该注意方式方法，本文对此提出了一些建议。
56. However 考查连词。此处表示一开始长跑的想法会让人沮丧。然而，只要有足够的耐心和循序渐进的方法，你就能踏出坚实的步伐。前后两分句之间为转折关系，又有逗号隔开，应用however连接。故填However。注意首字母大写。
57. that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为“a solid pace”，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，应用that/which引导该从句。故填that/which。
58. based 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“a training schedule”与动词短语base on之间是被动关系，此处应用base的过去分词形式作后置定语。故填based。
59. to push 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式作“the urge”的定语。故填to push。
60. injury/being injured 考查词性转换或非谓语动词。此处表示跑步是一种存在受伤风险的运动。介词后接名词或动名词。故填injury/being injured。
61. yourself 考查代词。此处表示减少自己受伤的几率应用反身代词。故填yourself。
62. walking 考查非谓语动词。根据上文中的“between running and”可知，此处应与running形式上保持一致。故填walking。
63. minutes 考查名词的单复数。minute是可数名词，此处表示20分钟，应用其复数形式。故填minutes。
64. to 考查介词。固定搭配double...to...意为“使……加倍”。故填to。
fortably 考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词“running”。故填comfortably。

应用文参考范文
Dear David,
I’m writing to share with you our school’s chorus competition last Wednesday. The day dawned with a sense of anticipation, as we all gathered in the auditorium.
The competition kicked off with a breathtaking opening performance. Each class took the stage in turn, each performance unique and filled with passion. As we stepped forward, the nervousness was transformed into pure joy. Our chosen piece resonated through the hall, bringing smiles to audience’s faces and applause to our ears. Eventually, we won the first prize. This chorus was a celebration of music, friendship, and perseverance, which taught me the power of cooperation and the joy of expressing oneself.
I feel grateful to have been a part of such a memorable experience. Do you have any interesting events or activities happening I’m eager to hear from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

Most Famous Paintings in the World
Among the millions of paintings that are created and shown in galleries and museums all around the world, a very small number of them go beyond time and make history. Below are some examples.
The Persistence of Memory — Salvador Dali. Painted in 1931, The Persistence of Memory is one of the most recognizable pieces in art history. This work is known to make people reflect on their way of life and the way they spend their time, and it is also thought that Albert Einstein’s well-known Theory of Relativity gave Dali the idea for this wonderful painting.
Girl with a Pearl Earring — Johannes Vermeer. Considered by many to be “the Dutch Mona Lisa”, this beautiful painting features an unnamed young woman looking over her shoulder to stare directly at the viewer. It was completed in 1665 and is exhibited in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Guernica — Pablo Picasso. The famous painting by Picasso was completed in 1937. It was painted in Paris following the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. The painting is on permanent display in the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain.
Starry Night — Vincent van Gogh. Painted in 1889, Starry Night is one of the most famous paintings in modern culture, which is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It is based on van Gogh’s direct observations as well as his imagination, memories, and emotions and was the inspiration for the song Vincent (also known as Starry, Starry Night).

I’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected.
I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others. Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to their destinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.
I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school. But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving.
I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media. Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away.
As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything. As these connections grew, my natural personality began to reappear.
24. What led to the author becoming shy
A. The heavy academic burden.
B. Fearing to talk to strangers.
C. The loneliness of being abroad.
D. Being unfamiliar with the new school.
25. What did the author volunteer to do
A. Help with old people’s daily life.
B. Provide transportation for the old.
C. Communicate with senior citizens.
D. Accompany old people to downtown.
26. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “poise” in paragraph 3
A. Strength. B. Courage.
C. Calmness. D. Enthusiasm.
27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph
A. She did very well on her research in the end.
B. She experienced a sense of incompetence.
C. She regained herself.
D. Even the best student faced the same challenge as hers.
C
Forgiving doesn’t mean saying the pain doesn’t matter or what the other person said or did was OK. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means letting go of your need for an apology. It means making peace with past hurt and pain. It means choosing to move on. All of this is easy to say, hard to do. But forgiveness can happen in a series of small steps over time.
Take your feelings seriously. Forgiving doesn’t mean shrugging your shoulders and saying “Oh, well.” Cry, feel sad, throw things hard, or write angry passages in your diary to get rid of some of the stress. Talk with trusted friends or family to ask for advice to help find solutions to your problems. You have the right to feel hurt and angry. But suffering these feelings over time does you great harm.
Make a difference in your life. I’ve seen that many miss the opportunity for getting back a good relationship with someone else because they just wait for the apology that may never come. Others stay stuck in anger long after the other person has stopped to be a part of their lives. Make a decision to make a difference for yourself. That may be forgiving or being the first to reach out to the other so that you can move on with your own life.
Forgive yourself and engage in positive self-talk. Although you may mainly blame the other person, it’s important to forgive yourself with positive self-talk. Feel certain that you can learn from this and move on. Tell yourself that you will survive this pain and that life will get better because you can make a choice to let go.
Try understanding the other. This doesn’t reduce your pain but may make what happened more understandable. Understanding doesn’t forgive hurtful behavior, but understanding can help to get rid of your anger and to forgive.
Realize that forgiveness benefits you most of all. The other person may never know about your forgiveness. But forgiving and letting go can lighten the load on your body and on your spirit.
28. What does forgiving mean according to the text
A. The pain the other person brought you isn’t very serious.
B. What the other person has said or done doesn’t hurt you.
C. You don’t care and have forgotten what happened to you.
D. You needn’t the other person to say sorry to you any more.
29. What is the attitude of the author to getting angry according to paragraph 2
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Objective. D. Uncertain.
30. What should you do if you have a quarrel with your close friend according to paragraph 3
A. Wait for your friend’s apology.
B. Take the initiative to say hello to your friend.
C. Try your best to forget your problem.
D. Have positive self-talk.
31. What does the text mainly talk about
A. How to forgive other people.
B. Forgiveness is helpful for us all.
C. Understanding can help forgive others.
D. Life gets better if you choose to forgive.
D
Earth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to “deep life” studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world’s oceans. Despite extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms (微生物). “It’s like finding a whole new reservoir (储藏) of life on Earth,” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.
Results suggest 70 percent of Earth’s bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun. Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but to replace or repair broken parts. Lengths of their lives were completely different. Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions. They’re just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.
The team consists of 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics. A year before the conclusion of their study, they will present the findings before the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting opens this week, which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.
The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig, the more life they find. There is a temperature maximum — currently 122℃ — but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.
Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes, and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved.
32. What do the scientists find about the underground organisms
A. They can’t reproduce and divide.
B. They’re the oldest living things.
C. Some of them consume no energy.
D. Some of them almost always keep still.
33. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 3
A. It lasts for around one year.
B. It is conducted in 52 countries.
C. It promotes technical development.
D. It involves efforts from multiple fields.
34. Why do the scientists drill deep
A. To break their previous record.
B. To find the depth limit of life.
C. To discover more ancient microorganisms.
D. To detect the highest subsurface temperature.
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Earth’s Depths Are Full of Life
B. Organisms Live Better Underground
C. Earth Is Far Beyond Human Exploration
D. Subsurface Life Differs from That on Land

Thinking about the past week, did any of you forget where you put your phone Did you have a word stuck on the tip of your tongue You couldn’t remember the name of the movie a friend recommended What is going on here Is your memory failing
It’s not. 36 Despite memory’s extraordinary, necessary and common presence in our lives, it is far from perfect. Our brains are not designed to remember people’s names, to remember to do something later or to record everything we experience. 37 Even in the smartest heads, memory is likely to be wrong. So what determines what we remember and what we forget
38 Your memory is not a video camera recording a constant stream of every sight and sound you’re exposed to. You can only remember what you are concerned about. Accordingly, one major reason for forgetting what someone said or where you parked your car is lack of attention.
The other has something to do with stimulus (刺激物). For example, the tip of the tongue is one of the most common experiences of memory failure. 39 Why does this happen The tip of the tongue can occur when there’s only partial or weak activation (激活) of the nerve cells that connect to the word you’re looking for.
So when you walk into a room and suddenly don’t know why you’re there, you’re not going crazy or getting Alzheimer’s disease, and your memory isn’t terrible. Go back to the room you were in before you landed in this one and imagine the clues that were there. 40
A. One necessary factor is attention.
B. It’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
C. These imperfections are simply the factory settings.
D. Our brains tend to remember what is meaningful and forget what isn’t.
E. You’re trying to come up with a word, but you cannot find it in your memory.
F. It will instantly deliver what you were completely confused about a moment ago.
G. Memory is amazing and is essential for the functioning of almost everything we do.

The idea of running long distances can be discouraging at first. 56 , with a lot of patience and a baby-step approach, you can steadily develop a solid pace 57 will last for longer and longer stretches, even while you chat with your running partner!
Whether you are only beginning to run or have already made a practice of it, design a training schedule 58 (base) on your current abilities. Forget “no pains, no gains.” Resist the urge 59 (push) yourself too hard or too fast. Keep your runs sensible and achievable, especially in the beginning. Running is an exercise with a risk of 60 (injure), especially for beginners. The tortoise-wins-the-race manner will decrease your chance of hurting 61 (you). If you have little or no miles under your belt, shift between running and 62 (walk) in the beginning. Jog for one minute , and then walk for four. Repeat three more times for a total workout of 20 63 (minute). As the one-minute jogging intervals (间歇) become easier from one workout to the next, double them 64 two minutes each and decrease the walking intervals to three. Continue to increase the jogging and decrease the walking over time until you are 65 (comfortable) running for a total 20-minute stretch.

本文是一篇说明文。众所周知，坚持长跑可以锻炼人的耐力，提高心肺功能，减肥塑身。但对于初次练习长跑的人来说，还应该注意方式方法，本文对此提出了一些建议。
56. However 考查连词。此处表示一开始长跑的想法会让人沮丧。然而，只要有足够的耐心和循序渐进的方法，你就能踏出坚实的步伐。前后两分句之间为转折关系，又有逗号隔开，应用however连接。故填However。注意首字母大写。
57. that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为“a solid pace”，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，应用that/which引导该从句。故填that/which。
58. based 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“a training schedule”与动词短语base on之间是被动关系，此处应用base的过去分词形式作后置定语。故填based。
59. to push 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式作“the urge”的定语。故填to push。
60. injury/being injured 考查词性转换或非谓语动词。此处表示跑步是一种存在受伤风险的运动。介词后接名词或动名词。故填injury/being injured。
61. yourself 考查代词。此处表示减少自己受伤的几率应用反身代词。故填yourself。
62. walking 考查非谓语动词。根据上文中的“between running and”可知，此处应与running形式上保持一致。故填walking。
63. minutes 考查名词的单复数。minute是可数名词，此处表示20分钟，应用其复数形式。故填minutes。
64. to 考查介词。固定搭配double...to...意为“使……加倍”。故填to。
fortably 考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词“running”。故填comfortably。

应用文参考范文
Dear David,
I’m writing to share with you our school’s chorus competition last Wednesday. The day dawned with a sense of anticipation, as we all gathered in the auditorium.
The competition kicked off with a breathtaking opening performance. Each class took the stage in turn, each performance unique and filled with passion. As we stepped forward, the nervousness was transformed into pure joy. Our chosen piece resonated through the hall, bringing smiles to audience’s faces and applause to our ears. Eventually, we won the first prize. This chorus was a celebration of music, friendship, and perseverance, which taught me the power of cooperation and the joy of expressing oneself.
I feel grateful to have been a part of such a memorable experience. Do you have any interesting events or activities happening I’m eager to hear from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
