三、阅读理解（30分）
(A)
What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象)art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not .want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn5t want their art to be realistic(现实). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his “blue period”）. Later，he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist (立体画派）” because they are made of painted squares.
After a long time，Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn’t understand it.
Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义着)，were interested in subconsciousness (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn’t always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.
There are still many abstract artists around the world. That’s the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

There are 5 channels on British television and each channel has several news programs all day long. Some programs are only for three minutes but some are one hour long. The people who read the news are called news presenters and because they appear on television every day, they are very famous.
This is a popular news presenter in England called Trevor McDonald, in the news studio. He presents a program called “News at Ten” every Monday to Friday evenings.
Another popular news presenter is Kirsty Young. She has a more modern style of reading the news and, as you can see, she sits on the desk not on a chair!
Television news presenters need to have worked as journalists because they have to write most of the news that they read. Sometimes an important news event happens after the program has started, so the presenter has to be able to read something without looking at it first. They must always keep calm even when there are many changes during the program. At the end of “News at Ten” Trevor McDonald says “And finally...” Then he reads an unusual or interesting item (一则新闻）. It’s a famous saying in England now.

A. Because he is a funny man. He likes to say something interesting every day.
B. Because he thinks it can help people go to sleep easily.
C. Because he wants to be more famous than Kirsty Young.
D. Because most of the news is serious or sad, he wants people to feel happy at the end of his program.

(C)
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations(祝贺) to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also feel you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge(挑战) yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
( )11.Those who have big houses may often feel______.
A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited
( )12.When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will______
A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you
C. quarrel with you D. help you up
( )13.What will your friends say to you when you make great progress（进步）?
A. Oh, so do I B. Congratulations
C. Good luck D. It’s just so-so
( )14.Which idea is NOT right according to the passage?
A.People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B.You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C.You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D.Happiness is always around you though difficulties come to you.
( )15.Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck B. Good luck C. Happiness D. Life
