The faces of the four U.S. presidents on Mount Rushmore will be likely to last for centuries. But at a newly opened exhibit in Japan, you can catch them only for about eight months. This year, the annual sand sculpture event at the Sand Museum in Tottori, Japan, is focused on another country. This is the 10th anniversary of the event. Artists came from 19 countries to shape sand into different sculptures that represent events in U.S. history and American landmarks.
Tottori is a remote city in the western part of Japan. In the past, not many tourists traveled to it, so Tottori officials decided to use a natural resource: sand. They decided to create a sand museum that would house a series of sand sculptures based on different geographic areas of the world. The sand from each year’s exhibition is used again the next year. The project has been a success. About 500,000 people come to visit the museum during the eight months. Some of them return there year after year to see the new sculptures.
The city is now becoming a very popular spot for sand sculpture artists too. Sculptors from all over the world come to Tottori each spring, spending a few weeks working on their masterpieces. They use special tools to smooth the sandy surfaces, cut angles and details. They use only sand and water to create the huge sculptures, some of which tower over their creators.
Originally, the artists built their creations outside. But the works lasted less than two months outdoors. So the museum built a permanent structure to house the artworks, which extended their life to eight months more or less. Now many more tourists get to see the sculptures. Still, the fact that this art is not permanent is the biggest part of the appeal. The temporary sculptures also show a reflection on the Japanese value of appreciating the fleeting(短暂的) nature of the world.
Tottori is not the only Japanese city that shows temporary art like this. Sapporo, in northern Japan, hosts a similar exhibit in the winter, using snow instead of sand. That will be just about the time when the U.S. sand sculpture exhibition is taken apart, and the sand is saved for next year’s show.
26. Why is the Sand Museum set up in Tottori?
A. To attract more visitors to the city.
B. To emphasize the feature of the city.
C. To display the diverse culture of the city.
D. To show the wonderful artworks of the city.
27. Which factor mainly accounts for the high popularity of Tottori’s sand sculptures?
A. Their diversity. B. Their artistic beauty.
C. Their unsustainability. D. Their symbolic significance.
28. What do the exhibits in Tottori and Sapporo imply?
A. Artists are more easily inspired by nature.
B. Nature enables artists to create diverse artworks.
C. Natural works of art are fashionable in the world.
D. The sand is more popular with artists than the snow.
29. What is the best title of this text?
A. A Special Sand Exhibition B. Sand’s Meaning to the Artists
C. Unique Urban Architecture D. Artists’ Contributions to the World
五、七选五（每小题3分，共15分）
What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 30 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know.
Well, I can tell you surely that those people who are really happy, fear less and love a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge(挑战), each person as an opportunity(机会) to discover more about themselves and the world around them. 31
Happy people understand that you can’t really change a situation(境况) by resisting(反抗) it. But they can feel better by understanding that there might be a reason. 32 But, they ask themselves questions like: What can I learn from this? How can I make this better? They always seem to be pleasant and hopeful no matter what happens to them. They do the things they do because of the meaning it brings into their lives and because they get a sense of purpose by doing so.
33 They care more about living a life full of meaning rather than, what in our modern society we would call, living a successful life. The fact here is that most of the time they get both, success and meaning, just because they choose to focus on doing the things they love the most.
34 They make sure that their actions bring meaning and happiness in the lives of many. They look for ways to give and to share the best of themselves with the world and to make other people happy.
A. They have an ideal(理想的) living and a balanced life.
B. What are these two kinds of people do differently?
C. They are kind to themselves and others and they understand the power of love.
D. The things happy people do are not for themselves, but for the good of others.
E. They are ready to embrace(拥抱) everything in front of them.
F. They understand that “Doing what you love is the most important for living a full life”.
G. When something unpleasant happens to them, they don’t try to fight it, because this will make the situation even worse.

六、书面表达（共30分）
【范文】
Dear Headmaster,
I am Li Hua, a Senior 2 student. I am writing to you about how to decorate our school campus. I suggest that our school be decorated with art works, like paintings, sculptures and some other artistic designs, as art is part of our life. Not only can these works of art make our campus more beautiful, but also our students can release their stress by appreciating them.
First, I think some statues of educators and great scientists should be placed in our school garden to honour those who devote all their lives to the cause of education and the development of our society. Besides, on the outside walls of our classrooms, we can hang up pictures of paintings, sculptures, art crafts by famous artists with descriptions and introductions, from which students will learn more about art. In addition, we can set a special area for our students to exhibit their works of art. It will surely encourage the students who are enthusiastic about art to fully realize their potentials. If you adopt my design, I am sure that our school will take on a brand new look and students will love to live and study in such agreeable surroundings.
Art is not far from us and can be with us. I do appreciate it if you consider my plan. Let’s decorate our campus and create a school, which is perfumed with artistic atmosphere.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

英 语 （二）
（本卷满分100分）
一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）
A
Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings(版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape(风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.
1. What is the text mainly about?
A. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.
B. Williams’ influence on Benjamin.
C. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist.
D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.
2. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?
A. The cat would be closely watched.
B. The cat would get some medical care.
C. Benjamin would leave his home shortly.
D. Benjamin would have real brushes soon.
3. What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?
A. He took him to see painting exhibitions.
B. He provided him with painting materials.
C. He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.
D. He taught him how to make engravings.
4. Williams’ two books helped Benjamin to ________.
A. master the use of paints B. appreciate landscape paintings
C. get to know other painters D. make up his mind to be a painter
B
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really—at night, when you’re asleep?”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”
5. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .
A. know more about the students B. make the lessons more exciting
C. raise the students’ interest in art D. teach the students about toy design
6. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.
7. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.
8. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of thinking.
二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）
Children art education is something that is much encouraged for children’s creative growth. This is necessary because a child can have a sense of appreciation of the arts and along with all the other things that they learn in school. 9
Children art education should be designed from a very early age so that they are allowed to express themselves freely in whatever way that they wish to. 10
However, the task of children art education is not a very easy one, because you have to find the right way in which you can help them get interested in what you are trying to teach them. 11 The physical space where the art education is to be carried out should also be carefully decorated to make it attractive to the children. Use of colors should be made in abundance(丰富) as that is what attracts a child first to it.
Displaying examples of artwork that you think would be important enough to influence the children is also a good idea. Of course, a photograph of a painting of the Madonna(圣母马利亚) is something that children might not appreciate. 12 This will be a source of inspiration for the children to try them out as well.
The creative process is something that you must not interfere with(干涉) during a children art education class. 13 But after that, you must wait for the children themselves to come up with something meaningful to their ability. As long as the result is connected with the topic, every child’s art work is worth praising.
A. You can just give them a topic for drawing.
B. Instead, put up paintings that children will be fond of.
C. The reason for this could be the lack of interest in the teacher.
D. A trip to an art museum can be an inspiration to many students.
E. They also have a place where they can express all their feelings.
F. This is the only way that art can be appreciated as children grow up.
G. So creating the right environment for children art education is very important.
