A water lily painting,Water Lily Pond,by Claude Monet,the French impressionist artist,was sold for more than $80 million on Tuesday,breaking the auction (拍卖) record for himself.Water Lily Pond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put up for sale during his lifetime.
The four paintings of Monet's water lily garden were signed and dated by the artist in 1919.One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,while another was sold at auction in 1992 for $12.1 million and is in a private collection now.The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War Ⅱ.
“After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the telephone,the painting finally was sold to a collector for $80.4 million,setting a new world record price for the artist at auction,” said Olivier Camu,a scholar of impressionist art.
The last record for a Monet work was set in May when Le Pont du Chemin de fer à Argenteuil was sold for $41.4 million.
The painting sold on Tuesday was bought at a 1971 New York auction for $320,000.It has not been exhibited since then.
Monet's later works had unique characteristics,especially Les Grandes Décorations,another good example,which was bedded in Musée de I'Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet's death in 1926.
Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny,France.He selected different water lilies in an effort to get as many different colored flowers as possible,specially creating the garden as a base for his paintings.

A
Fireworks are exciting,but also hard to control.The Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang,though,has developed a way to harness the visual and physical power of fireworks to make art.He recently used them to create a burning sculpture that stretched (延伸) high into the sky.Guo-Qiang fittingly named the work Sky Ladder.
Guo-Qiang built Sky Ladder by making a frame out of metal.He coated the frame with gunpowder,the main chemical material in fireworks.
The artist tied one end of the frame to the ground and attached a large weather balloon to the other end.The balloon was filled with helium—a gas that's lighter than air.When released,the balloon floated upward,pulling the top of the ladder 500 meters into the sky.That's higher than the top of the Empire State Building!
Guo-Qiang set fire to the bottom of the ladder,and the crackling(啪啪作响的)flames raced skyward up the frame.The sculpture burned for two-and-a-half minutes before its flames began to die out from the bottom up.
Dealing with explosives (炸药) is challenging,and conditions had to be perfect for Guo-Qiang to achieve his desired effect.He first attempted Sky Ladder in 1994,but bad weather prevented him from successfully completing the work.Guo-Qiang put Sky Ladder aside so that he could work on other projects,perhaps most famously the fireworks display that opened the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Finally,after two more failed attempts,Guo-Qiang successfully sent his flaming ladder skyward last year.He presented Sky Ladder in his hometown,a quiet fishing village near Huiyu Island,Quanzhou.He offered the work as a gift to his 100-year-old grandmother,other family members,his friends,and his town.
“Behind Sky Ladder lies a clear childhood dream of mine,”Guo-Qiang explains.“Despite all life's twists and turns,I have always been determined to realize it.The ladder rose toward the morning sun,carrying hope.For me,this not only means a return,but also the start of a new journey.”
【解题导语】 本文是说明文。文章报道了中国艺术大师蔡国强的500米高烟火作品《天梯》“登天”成功的消息。
1.What does the underlined word“harness” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Control and use.
B.Find and collect.
C.Save and develop.
D.Count and produce.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。由第一段的“Fireworks...hard to control.”和下文介绍艺术大师蔡国强利用烟火创作的震惊世人的“烟花天梯”可知,他找到了一条能“控制并利用”烟火的方法来进行艺术创作。
2.The work Sky Ladder Cai Guo-Qiang built last year ________.
A.proved to be a failure
B.could fly free in the sky
C.kept burning for 2.5 minutes
D.was sent skyward in the evening
解析:选C 细节理解题。由第四段的“The sculpture burned for two-and-a-half minutes before its flames began to die out from the bottom up.”可知,蔡国强利用烟火创作的艺术作品《天梯》在空中持续燃烧了2分30秒。
3.Cai Guo-Qiang first imagined a ladder of fire when ________.
A.he was a young boy
B.he saw the Empire State Building
C.the 2008 Olympic Games opened
D.his grandmother had her 100th birthday
解析:选A 推理判断题。由最后一段的“Behind Sky Ladder lies a clear childhood dream of mine”可知,蔡国强在儿时就想象过一架喷着火焰的梯子。
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Living with hope B.A birthday gift
C.Burning man D.Art on fire
解析:选D 标题归纳题。本文主要是对艺术大师蔡国强创作的烟火作品《天梯》成功绽放的报道。D项作标题既指《天梯》这幅烟火表演作品,也指蔡国强所从事的烟火表演艺术。
B
Many parents wonder why their children should study art.To some,art is nice but useless.They consider it unnecessary to human existence.To others,art is important and meets some human needs that can't be met any other way.
So what is the purpose of art?
The earliest art—cave drawings and the like—certainly had some important purposes.This type of art was a record of events,a means of sharing stories,and a way to pass on information.People created primitive (原始的) art to show the world around them—pictures were usually of animals,birds,plants,and humans in scenes of daily life,especially hunting.
In recent centuries,art has become more complicated.The spoken and written words have become our major means of communication,so art can be more than just a chronicle of historic events or a way to share stories,although it still can be those things as well.
Through art,artists share their feelings in a way that brings on something from the viewers.The feelings one experiences when viewing art may be pleasing or not.The artist is trying to express something; it's up to you to figure out what that is.Art is a conversation between you and the artist; they put themselves into their work,and you bring yourself to your explanation of it.Because of the feelings that art can bring on—feelings that usually cannot be brought on by other means—art is necessary to human existence.Art meets our needs for self-expression,communication,and our desire for connection with other humans across centuries and cultures.
Now,we can conclude that art is very important.Since it is important,kids should learn it.
【解题导语】 作者认为艺术很重要,小孩应该学习艺术。
5.What do we know about the primitive art?
A.It didn't have any important purposes.
B.It was mainly about people's daily life.
C.It was created mainly to entertain people.
D.lt was meant to help people understand the world.
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第三段的“People created primitive (原始的) art to show the world around them—pictures were usually of animals,birds,plants,and humans in scenes of daily life,especially hunting.”可知,艺术一开始主要是关于人们的日常生活的。
6.What does the underlined word “chronicle” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Tool. B.Mirror.
C.Guide. D.Record.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。第三段说艺术一开始主要是用来记录生活的,第四段指出后来艺术变得更为复杂了,不再仅仅是对历史事件的“记录”了。
7.Paragraph 5 mainly shows art's use of ________.
A.making a living B.explaining problems
C.exchanging feelings D.storing information
解析:选C 段落大意题。第五段主要说明艺术的情感交流的作用。
8.The text is meant to show that ________.
A.kids love art for a reason
B.children should study art
C.art is very important to humans
D.art is used for different purposes
解析:选B 主旨大意题。由第一段的“Many parents wonder why their children should study art.”和最后一段可知,作者主要通过阐述艺术的重要性来表明小孩需要学习艺术。

The environment at Freedom Mountain Academy (FMA) increases self-awareness(自我认识)by providing students with an entirely new way of communicating with the world.The large cottage is situated on 60 acres of farmland and forest.Students expand their comfort zones by learning to live without electricity,and electronic devices such as phones and computers.FMA students live in a quieter world,reading,playing musical instruments,studying,and talking face to face.
At FMA we believe that dependence upon electronic devices creates “noise” which prevents students from thinking creatively and reflectively.Upon arriving at our working farm campus,students immediately find one of FMA's unique features:the absence of electrical equipment.While the campus is equipped with the latest technology,students live in a cottage lit by kerosene lamps (煤油灯),where cooking and heating are done with wood.Computers,cellphones,iPods,etc are not allowed.
In the beginning,they are very uncomfortable with the lack of external “noise”,but soon learn to use their time for more personal,inner interests,which improve their awareness of themselves and their world.
Working closely together on the campus and in the field can be stressful at times to students living in a boarding school environment.FMA provides all students with their own rooms,which they are encouraged to make their sanctuary(庇护所),a place where they can go to surround themselves with images and pictures that comfort them.Personalizing (使个性化) their own rooms with pictures,books,scents,and fabrics helps them relax in a private space where they can lie on their beds to rest or sleep,read a book,or play an instrument.While there are large common areas,many students are unfamiliar with setting and respecting lines,so private rooms ensure they have a space for themselves.
【解题导语】 Freedom Mountain Academy给学生们提供了一个体验纯朴自然生活的机会,这有利于发挥他们的想象力和创造力。
1.What is the feature of the environment at FMA?
A.Students can get to know a life outside of school.
B.Students experience a life far from electronic devices.
C.Students can get a good chance to talk face to face.
D.Students go through a tough life in the deep forest.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Students expand their comfort zones by learning to live without electricity,and electronic devices such as phones and computers.”和第二段中的“students immediately find one of FMA's unique features:the absence of electrical equipment”可知,FMA给学生们提供了远离现代化设施、体验没有电的生活,故选B项。
2.What is the author's attitude towards electronic devices?
A.Positive. B.Doubtful.
C.Negative. D.Supportive.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“dependence upon electronic devices creates ‘noise' which prevents students from thinking creatively and reflectively”可知,作者认为依赖电子设备会抑制学生们的思维能力,故选C项。
3.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A.The modern world's “noise” is removed during this experience.
B.There actually is no cellphone signal around the cottage.
C.The cottage is located far away from modern equipment.
D.Most students will take special interest in the new life.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,学生们在这里使用木材烧火做饭、使用煤油灯,这里完全是一个没有电的世界,手机、电脑等在这里都不能使用,因此现代化电器带来的嘈杂声不存在了,故选A项。
4.Why are students provided with private rooms?
A.To make them develop their own interests.
B.To make them find a quiet place to study.
C.To make them live a comfortable life.
D.To make them feel good and relaxed.

The meaning of the term “graffiti ” (涂鸦) simply is—drawings or words drawn or painted on a wall.
The art of drawing graffiti began making its way on public walls in the latter part of the 1960s.However,graffiti has existed long before,with the ancient cave paintings dating back 40,000 years.And of course,right from those times,drawing has always been a means of human beings' deep desire to communicate.
Although graffiti on public walls began in the 1960s,the period between 1971 and 1974 is generally regarded as the time when most of the early work in graffiti was done,since this was the time when this form of art began spreading and getting publicity.For some of the youth of that time,it was a way of struggling against a society they thought unjust.
However,for others,these graffiti characters were simply a pleasurable means of expressing their creativity,just as a unique art form.It was during 1975 to 1977 that the art of drawing graffiti reached its peak,with standards of drawing graffiti letters being established.
However,as the 1980s arrived,being a graffiti artist became more challenging,as the government began banning people from drawing graffiti and it was considered vandalism (故意破坏公共财物罪),as most of the graffiti was made by gangsters (匪徒),who were young and usually poor.This was known as the “diehard era”,as graffiti culture disappeared secretly.
Today's graffiti culture is referred to as the “clean train era”,as many graffiti artists are taking their art from the subway walls and the inside of trains and cars into studios and galleries,with the establishment increasingly viewing it as a genuine art form.Hence these days some cities have provided particular areas for graffiti artists where they are allowed to display their art.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。涂鸦具有悠久的历史,但它的发展道路充满了曲折。
5.Why did some young people draw graffiti in the early 1970s?
A.To express their anger at society.
B.To show their artistic talent.
C.To make themselves known.
D.To entertain themselves.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知,在20世纪70年代早期,有些年轻人把涂鸦当作表达自己对社会不公的一种发泄手段。
6.Why was it challenging for one to be a graffiti artist in the 1980s?
A.Gangsters hung out in the streets.
B.Not much space was provided.
C.Graffiti artists were usually poor then.
D.Graffiti was considered something harmful.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段可知,在20世纪80年代,涂鸦被认为是破坏公物,因此受到政府的打压。
7.What do we know about graffiti artists today?
A.They are regarded as real artists.
B.They are allowed to paint anywhere.
C.They are still looked down upon.
D.They live a harder life.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可推知,当今,涂鸦被当作一种真正的艺术形式,受到政府的鼓励,由此可知A项正确。
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.Graffiti artists and their works.
B.The past and present of graffiti.
C.The popularity of graffiti.
D.Famous graffiti artists.
解析:选B 主旨大意题。综合全文可知,文章主要介绍了涂鸦的发展历史和现状。故B项最能概括文章的内容。

Dear_Sophie,
I_am_glad_to_know_that_you_are_keen_on_Chinese_culture.And I am willing to share something about the New Year with you.
Many activities are involved in the celebration of a new year.Chinese people usually make great preparations to greet the new year,such as a thorough clean-up and a crazy purchase of goods.It is also customary (习惯) to paste (张贴)spring couplets (春联)on the door and cut-papers on the windows to pray for good luck.Additionally,the whole country looks very festive(喜庆的)with people setting off firecrackers.
Since this year is the year of the pig,you asked the symbolic(象征的)meaning of the pig in your letter.I should say it is a positive image in Chinese culture,indicating loyalty.Whether the master is poor or rich,the pig will support its master faithfully(忠实地).It also means making a lot of money.
If you have any more questions,I am willing to offer help.Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Yours_sincerely,
Li_Hua

In about 1450,European scholars became more interested in studying the world around them.Their art became truer to life.They began to explore new lands.The_new_age in Europe was eventually called “the Renaissance”.Renaissance is a French word that means “rebirth”.Historians consider the Renaissance to be the beginning of modern history.
The Renaissance began in northern Italy and then spread through Europe.Italian cities such as Naples,Genoa,and Venice became centres of trade between Europe and the Middle East.Arab scholars preserved the writings of the ancient Greeks in their libraries.When the Italian cities traded with the Arabs,ideas were exchanged along with goods.These ideas,preserved from the ancient past,served as the basis of the Renaissance.When the Byzantine Empire fell to Muslim Turks in 1453,many Christian scholars left Greece for Italy.
The Renaissance was much more than simply studying the works of ancient scholars.It influenced painting,sculpture and architecture.Paintings became more realistic and focused less often on religious topics.Rich families became patrons and commissioned great art.Artists advanced Renaissance style of showing nature and depicting the feeling of people.In Britain,there was a flowering in literature and drama that included the plays of William Shakespeare.

I remember as a young child bringing a bunch of brilliant yellow flowers to my mother.
It didn't matter that the stems (茎) felt sticky (粘的) or that both my parents hated the presence of these flowers in the lawn.
I thought they were beautiful!
And there were so many of them!
We spent hours picking the flowers and then picking the blossoms off with a snap (弹指) of our fingers.
But the supply of dandelions (蒲公英) never ran out.
My father or brothers would chop off all the heads with the lawnmower (割草机) at least once a week,but that didn't stop these hardy wonders.
And for those flowers that escaped the honor of being hand-delivered to my mother or the sharp blades (刀片) of the lawnmower,there was another level of existence.
The soft roundness of a dandelion gone to seed caused endless laughter of delight as we unknowingly spread this flower across the yard.
As I worked in my garden last week,pulling unwanted weeds out of the space that would become home for tomatoes,corn,peas and sunflowers,I again marveled at the flower that some call a weed.
And I thought,if only I had the staying power of a dandelion.
If only I could stretch (延伸) my roots so deep and straight that something pulling on my stem couldn't separate me completely from the source that feeds me life.
If only I could come back to face the world with a bright,sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a lawnmower or worse,purposely attacked me in an attempt to destroy me.
If only I could spread love and encouragement as freely and fully as this flower spreads seeds of itself.
The lawns at my parents' home are now beautiful green blankets.
The only patches (点缀) of color come from well-placed,well-controlled flowerbeds.
Chemicals have managed to kill what human interference couldn't.
I hope you and I can be different.
I hope that we can stretch our roots deep enough that the strongest poison can't reach our souls.
I hope that we can overcome the poisons of anger,fear,hate,criticism and competitiveness.

While the dangers of climate change attract more attention than other environmental issues,the problems of waste and toxics (有毒物质) also continue—and are worthy of attention and action.One of the fastest growing environmental problems of the past decade has been the rapid increase in electronic waste.As society has moved from the iPhone 2 to the iPhone 8,all of those old iPhones have had to go somewhere.Tablets,PCs,old TVs,DVD players and countless other devices(设备) are nearly always abandoned before their useful life is over.Many of these devices contain small amounts of toxic materials.When they are thrown away,these toxics can enter our garbage(垃圾) system.That system is not designed to handle dangerous waste.
Here in New York City,efforts to manage electronic waste began during Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC program and continue under Mayor de Blasio's OneNYC.This past January,New York City and New York State started a ban on disposing(处理) of electronic waste with regular garbage.New Yorkers who throw their iPhone into the garbage could be subject to a $100 fine.
While the city will not pick up electronics for you,90 locations throughout the city,including Best Buy and Staples stores and the Salvation Army,will accept electronics that are not needed any more.In partnership with Electronic Recyclers International,the city began a collection program in November 2013 at apartment buildings.Buildings provide rooms or large containers for local people who need to throw their old devices away.Buildings can also decide on specific days for collection.
However,consumers alone cannot address the issue of electronic waste.The companies that build and sell these devices must play a key role.Now it isn't the time to get into the short lives of iPhones or whether or not this is planned,but if these products are going to be replaced so often then Apple and its competitors must design the phones to be easily taken apart for raw materials or parts to be used in other devices.This effort to recycle should become part of the design for engineers working on the next generation of electronic toys.In addition,companies should be offering rewards for consumers who trade in their old model to receive a new one.The production chain from producer to market should become a closed loop,with the product going back to an organization that can make some use of it.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。科学家指出,世界上许多植物都面临灭绝的危险。
61.解析:考查时态和主谓一致。此处表示客观事实,应用一般现在时;“百分数+名词”作主语时,谓语动词的单复数要根据百分数后的名词确定,根据文中的“the world's plants”可知,此处谓语动词用复数,故填are。
答案:are
62.解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词指物,故填which。
答案:which

答案:for
68.解析:考查非谓语动词。have trouble(in) doing sth.意为“做某事有困难”,为固定用法。
答案:finding
69.解析:考查非谓语动词。 struggle to do sth.“艰难地做某事”,为固定用法。
答案:to solve

One possible version:
Hi,TigerMom,
What_puzzles_you_is_actually_a_puzzle_for_many_parents_in_China.In my opinion,what you think and what you do are not suitable.
Although high grades are important in assessing students and for their future university admission,development in wisdom,emotion,health,and life attitude should never be ignored.There are many examples around us.Some top students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as they are expected.The reason is often that the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time to take part in other activities.Besides,punishment is by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically.
So I suggest that you take your friends' advice.More importantly,let your daughter live like a lovely girl; let her have more friends and social activities; and let her make mistakes of her own as the teenagers often do.
Yours,
Li_Hua
