Dear Mom，
How time flies! Two years have already gone by since I came to America for my further education.Can you imagine a country so different from China Everything is new and interesting! I made some friends here and they have been very kind and helpful.Still，you know how much I miss you and your Chinese dishes.Last night，my friends invited me to dinner.They had some strange ways of describing their hunger.For instance，“I’m hungry as a wolf” and “I’m so hungry I could eat a horse”，which have a similar expression in Chinese I’ m sure you know the one.How about “I’m making a pig of myself”！ A little confusing，hmm？Anyway，all this may be useful to you as an English teacher，so I’m also sending a tape.You can listen to our conversation and hear some real modern American English.
Your loving daughter，
Li Dan

A
There ’re eight countries waiting to join the European Union.Croatia and Turkey started talks on 3 October 2005.Turkey could complete them in 15 years，Croatia by 2011.The other Balkan Countries have been told they can join the EU one day，if they meet the standards.
Albania isn’t expected to join the EU until 2015 at the earliest.It applied (申请) to become an EU member on 28 April 2009.The European Commission (委员会) has agreed to allow Albanians to travel freely within the EU.In December 2009 the EU said the rule of law and the fight against organized crime were still the “big problems” for Albania.
The EU and Albania reached the SAA (稳定和联合协议)，seen as the first step towards becoming a member，in June 2006.The talks took three?and?a?half years，three times longer than those between the EU and Croatia.This is because the EU thought Albania was moving too slowly in its fight against organized crime.The EU also has doubts about Albania’s energy department，which suffers from bad supplies.
Bosnia?Herzegovina isn’t expected to join the EU until 2015 at the earliest.More than ten years after the 1992～1995 war，it signed an SAA with the EU in June 2008.The EU was satisfied with progress in four important areas，including public broadcasting (广播)．But in December 2009 the EU asked strongly for some other changes, and worried about the country’s future.
Iceland is the latest country to want to become an EU member.It applied in July 2009 and the talks began in July 2010.But progress will depend on whether Iceland can deal with a long?running problem with the UK and the Netherlands.But some Icelanders think they would be better off outside the EU，fearing the EU’s effect on their traditional fishing.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了欧盟的扩张。目前，仍有八个国家在等待加入欧盟，文中重点提到了阿尔巴尼亚、波黑和冰岛三个国家申请加入欧盟的情况。
51．Which of the following countries is expected to join the EU the earliest
A．Turkey. B．Albania.
C．Croatia. D．Bosnia?Herzegovina.
解析：选C。细节判断题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，Turkey可能在15年后加入欧盟，而Croatia可能在2011年就可以加入欧盟了；根据第二段第一句和第四段第一句可知，Albania和Bosnia?Herzegovina最早在2015年才能加入欧盟，故选C项。
52．What may prevent Bosnia?Herzegovina from becoming an EU member
A．Its large population.
B．Its energy department.
C．Its organized crime.
D．Its worrying future.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句中的worried about the country’s future可知，这个国家令人担忧的前途是它成为一个欧盟成员国的一大障碍。
53．Why don’t some Icelanders want their country to become an EU member
A．They are worried about their fishing.
B．They are worried about relations with the UK.
C．They are afraid they will lose a lot of job opportunities.

54．What is the best title of the passage
A．EU enlargement: The next eight
B．The last eight countries that joined EU
C．The relationships among EU countries
D．Economic development of EU countries
解析：选A。标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了欧盟的扩张，因此A作为标题最合适。

Louis Armstrong had two famous nick names.Some people called him Bagamo.They said his mouth looked like a large bag，Musicians often called him Pops，as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.
Born in 1901 in New Orleans，he grew up poor，but lived among great musicians.Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth.Armstrong often said，“Jazz and I grew up together.”
Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet (短号) at a boy’s home.In his late teens，Armstrong began to live the life of a musician.He played in parades，clubs，and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River.At that time，New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians.Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.
In 1922 he went to Chicago.There，the tale of Louis Armstrong begins.From then until the end of his life，Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went.Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.
His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say，“Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best?known and most admired people in the world.His death，on July 6,1971，was headline news around the world.
55．Armstrong was called Pops because he ________.
A．looked like a musician
B．was a musician of much influence
C．showed an interest in music
D．traveled to play modern music
解析：选B。答案在第一段最后一句话。他对世界音乐有很大的影响力而被称为“Pops”。
56．The third paragraph is developed ________.
A．by space B．by examples
C．by time D．by comparison
解析：选C。从at a boy’s home，in teens，at that time判断出第三段以时间来展开情节的。
57．Which statement about Armstrong is true
A．His tale begins in New Orleans.
B．He was born before jazz was invented.
C．His music was popular with his listeners.
D．He learned popular music at a boy’s home.
解析：选C。从第四段第一句话判断A错，从第二段判断B错，从第三段第一句话判断D错误。
58．Which would be the best title for the text
A．The Invention of the Jazz Music
B．The Father of the Jazz Style
C．The Making of a Musician
D．The Spread of Popular Music
解析：选B。本文主要讲述了Louis Armstrong在Jazz方面的影响力，本文多次提到Jazz。
C
Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend’s.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank?you note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day，and the battery(电池) was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars —was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.
“Thank you”－two powerful words.They’re easy to say and mean so much.
59．The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City ________.
A．to visit a friend
B．to see his parents
C．to pay at the cash register
D．to have more gas for his car
解析：选A。细节推断题。根据“…at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend” where…是修饰Oklahoma City的，可知去Oklahoma City是为了拜访一个朋友。
60．The underlined words “took off” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean “________”．
A．turned off B．moved off
C．put up D．set up
解析：选B。这是一道猜义题。根据上一句“pay for gas”和后面的“gone only a few miles”可知took off是离开的意思，选项B.move off也是离开的意思。turn off关掉；put up拿起；set up设立。
61．The battery of the author’s car was dead because ________.
A．something went wrong with the lights
B．the meeting lasted a whole day
C．he forgot to turn off the lights
D．he drove too long a distance
解析：选C。这是一道细节推断题。从第四段“I’d left the lights on all day”可知作者忘记关掉车灯，灯着了一天，所以电池没电了。
62．By telling his own experiences，the author tries to show ________.
A．how to write a thank?you letter
B．how to deal with car problems
C．the kind?heartedness of older people
D．the importance of expressing thanks
解析：选D。这是一道主旨题。作者讲了两个接受了他人的帮助并向帮助自己的人表示感谢的故事，接受别人的帮助后写信表示感谢对帮助自己的人是一种回馈，会使别人感到帮助别人是有意义的。特别是最后一句“They are easy to say and mean so much”点出了主旨。
D
A new study suggests that the way to weight loss may be clear.A couple of glasses of water before meals help dieters lose about 5 pounds more than those who do not drink water.While drinking water before a meal may fill a person up，the contents of their meal are important as well.Should a person be eating a low－fat diet or a low?carbohydrate (低糖的) diet Or does it matter at all
Recent research suggests that one diet isn’t any better than the other.A few weeks before the water study，another concluded that low?fat and low?carbohydrate diets tied in weight loss.While the low?carbohydrate dieters did show a slight increase in good cholesterol (胆固醇) and a reduction in blood pressure，there was not much difference in the dieters’weight loss.The point here is that the person had to stick to the diet.What helps a person see a diet through It could be body type.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association，as reported by Time magazine，found that body shape is the key to which diet a person will be able to stick with.Apples are people who carry most of their weight above the belt，while pears carry their weight around their hips (臀部)．Apple types were more likely to be high?insulin secretors (高胰岛素分泌者) who respond more strongly to carbohydrates in their bodies.They lost the most weight on a low?carbohydrate diet.Pears were low?insulin secretors who lost the same amount of weight on both diets.Unstable (不稳定的) insulin levels can create stronger hunger senses，causing the apple types to go off their diet plans.
All of these studies again come down to choosing the diet that helps you eat less.The body?type diet does make some sense as men are more likely to be apple types，with larger stomachs，and tend to do well on higher?protein diets，while women，who tend to carry weight around their hips，find themselves drawn to the low?fat diets.The reality is if a diet is failing you try another one.A plan you can’t，or won’t，stick to will never work，no matter what the research says.
63．If you want to lose weight but don’t know what diet suits you，you can always ________.
A．drink a few cups of water after each meal
B．drink a few cups of water before each meal
C．eat plenty of pears
D．eat plenty of apples
解析：选B。根据第一段第二、三句可知，饭前喝几杯水会使人有饱胀感，从而有助于减肥。
64．Compared with a low?carbohydrate dieter，a low?fat dieter may ________.
A．lose weight faster
B．put on weight faster
C．have less good cholesterol
D．have a lower blood pressure
解析：选C。根据第二段第三句可知，低脂肪饮食和低糖饮食在减肥方面差别不大，只是低糖饮食者的好胆固醇会有所升高，血压会有所降低，故相较于低糖饮食者，低脂肪饮食者的好胆固醇会相对低一些。
65．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．Women on high?protein diets usually do well in weight loss.
B．Men on high?carbohydrate diets usually do well in weight loss.
C．Men usually like eating apples while women mostly enjoy pears.
D．Whether a person can stick with a diet depends largely on his or her body shape.
解析：选D。本文第二段最后一句和第三段第一句都明确提到一个人是否能坚持某种饮食和体形有很大关系。
66．In the author’s opinion，________.
A．men don’t get hungry as easily as women
B．apple types work better than pear types in weight loss
C．the result of the recent research is not of much value
D．strong will as well as proper methods is the key to weight loss
解析：选D。作者通过本文第二段倒数第三句和本文最后一句都表明：要想减肥，除了适当的方法，坚持不懈也是非常重要的。

It was almost four o’clock in the morning when the fire broke out.“We watch one window blow out，and then another，and heard people shouting，”says Stanley,21，a junior from Westfield State College in Massachusetts.Students were throwing ropes made from bed sheets out their windows，and a couple of them were trying to climb down.
Almost all the hotel’s 502 rooms were filled with college students from across the United States who were spending their holiday here in Acpulco，Mexico.As the smoke thickened，Moreno ran upstairs to where other Westfield students were rooming.“Some people had no idea what was going on，”he says.“I was shouting at the top of my voice.I made sure I hit every door.”At the same time，Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke filled hall.There he joined forces with Nalewanski who had just come back from his own night out.
“Let’s go.”Nalewanski says.He and Stanley wet their shirts in the bathroom and wrapped them around their mouths and noses so they could breathe.Then they ran up the stairs.
Nalewanski and Stanley found Moreno on the fourth floor.They all ran upstairs and down the corridors(走廊) on every floor，hitting every door hard.
In the end，no one was seriously injured.Even more unbelievable，all the Westfield students made it back to Massachusetts later that same day.
Westfield president Evan Dobelle says，“I have a great deal of pride in these young men and they were able to react in such an emergency.”
67．What’s the best title for this passage
A．College students have a terrible holiday
B．College students survived a big fire
C．Heroes：close call in a hotel fire
D. A big fire broke out in a hotel
解析：选C。本文为记叙文，主要讲了Stanley，Moreno和Nalewanski在火灾中冒着生命危险，逐个房间敲门，全部学生脱险的故事，最后校长说“I have a great deal of pride in these young men...”。由此我们可以看出文章的主题突出了对“英雄”的介绍。
68．What do we learn from Stanley from the passage
A．He is in his last year in college.
B．He is a very brave young man.
C．He was reading a book when the fire broke out.
D．He was the first one to find out there was a fire.
解析：选B。细节推断题。根据第一段．..，a junior from Westfield State College...可知A项错误。C、D两项文中未提及。
69．According to the passage ________ might not have woken up people during the fire.
A．Evan Dobelle B．Nalewanski
C．Stanley D．Moreno
解析：选A。细节理解题。A项为大学校长，不在现场。
70．The students helped people out through all of the following ways EXCEPT ________.
A．helping people get through the hall
B．shouting loudly to warn people
C．hitting doors to wake people up
D．Making ropes for people to climb down
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段Stanley was downstairs helping people get through the smoke filled hall.可知A项符合原文。根据第二段I was shouting at the top of my voice.I made sure I hit every door.可知B、C两项符合原文。

It’s an honor to explain what the weather forecast means to you，Mr.Johnson.It says that a cold front will sweep across our city and it will be cold and foggy for the next three days with wind. The highest temperature will stay between 3℃ and 5℃ while the lowest will reach the freezing point. The weather forecast also reminds us that we should try to keep ourselves from the cold and pay special attention to safety while driving.
In such a situation，we usually have food with high calories and have warm clothes on.Since you are not familiar with the road conditions here，you’d better not drive to work in the coming days.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
(2011年山东省新泰市高二期末考试)The only light in the room came from all the monitors and machines that lined the wall behind his bed.I felt him climb onto my lap.He didn’t notice the tears falling down my face until he hugged me.Settling his eyes on mine he said，“Mommy，don’t cry.I will always love you! Jesus told me to tell you，you will see me again.He said the angels will take me to him，but before I could go I have to remind you，I love you.I will be waiting for you.I will never be sick again.”He got more excited as he spoke.His words came faster and his face shone.
“I have to get back in bed.I love you，Mommy.”He kissed my cheek and slid off my lap.Unable to move，I watched him climb back into bed and went back to sleep.
Monitors and alarms blared (响起) throughout the room.I awoke to medical staff hurrying around the room，around my son’s bed.Had I been dreaming A member of the nursing staff stood beside me.She put her hand on my shoulder and explained to me that they were trying to save my son.
When the doctor turned，he said，“I’m sorry! We could do nothing more.”I stood there，tears starting flowing down my face.A nurse led me over to the bed.He lay there，so still and yet he looked so peaceful.I brushed the hair off his forehead and kissed his check.The nurse gently supported me toward the couch.It was then I saw it，a single long?stemmed white rose.I asked，“Where did this rose come from？”
She responded，“I thought you would know.It dropped from your lap when you stood up.”Confused，not remembering any roses in the room，much less one on my lap.I walked over，bent down and picked it up.As I breathed in the fragrance from its soft petals，the atmosphere in the room changed.I heard the rush of wings，the air smelled fresh and in the distance I heard the sound of church bells.
I know the fragrance and sight of a white rose will always hold a special meaning for me.

解析：选A。作者似乎想告诉读者，儿子临死前曾托梦给她，要她不要悲伤，因为他是被耶稣派来的天使带去了天堂。作为母亲，作者也因此感到释然。故A项更为贴切。(共41张PPT)

自我探究
非真实条件句所假设的是不可能有的条件，或者是与事实相反的条件，它可表示与现在、过去或将来事实相反。
虚拟语气(Subjunctive Mood )(1)
一、基本概念
虚拟语气表示说话人的一种愿望、建议、命令、要求，有时是一种非真实的假设、料想或是不可能实现或与事实相反的愿望。
二、虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的运用
讲解归纳
主从句
构成
时间 虚拟条件句 主句
与现在事实相反的假设 If＋主语＋动词的过去式(be动词用were) 主语＋should/would/could/might＋动词原形
与过去事实相反的假设 If＋主语＋had＋过去分词 主语＋should/would
/could/ might＋have＋过去分词
与将来事实相反的假设 ①If＋主语＋动词过去式
②If＋主语＋were to＋动词原形
③If＋主语＋should＋动词原形 主语＋should/would
/could/ might＋动词原形
If he had time now，he would(could，might) go with you.
要是他现在有时间，他会和你一起去的。
(与现在事实相反)
If you had come a few minutes earlier，you would (could，might) have met the famous singer.
如果你能早来几分钟，你就会见到那个著名歌手。
(与过去事实相反)
If it were to snow this evening，they would not go out.
如果今天晚上下雪，他们就不会出去。(将来发生的动作的可能性很小)
注意：
(1)主句中的should只用于第一人称I，we，但在美国英语中，should常被would代替。
(2)虚拟条件从句中常用were代替was。
If I were rich，I would buy you anything you want.
我要是有钱，会给你买任何你想要的东西。
(3)如果假设的情况很可能发生，就用真实条件句。
If he has time，he will come.如果他有时间，他会
来。
He won’t succeed unless we plan well.
如果我们计划不好，他就会失败。
If you haven’t finished your composition，you can hand it tomorrow.如果你还未写完作文，你可以明天交。
三、混合条件句
主句与从句的动作发生在不同的时间，这时主、从句谓语动词的虚拟语气形式因时间不同而不同，这叫做混合条件句。
If you had asked him yesterday，you would know what to do now.
如果你昨天问一问他的话，你就知道现在该做什么了。(从句与过去事实相反，主句与现在事实相反。)
四、省略if的条件句
虚拟条件句的从句部分如果含有were，should或had，可将if省略，再把were，should或had移到从句句首，实行倒装。
Were they here now，they could help us.
＝If they were here now，they could help us.
如果他们现在在这儿的话，他们就会帮助我们了。
Had you come earlier，you would have met him.
＝If you had come earlier，you would have met him.
如果你早来点的话，就会见到他了。
Should it rain，the crops would be saved.
＝Were it to rain，the crops would be saved.
＝If it should(were to)rain，the crops would be saved.
如果下雨的话，庄稼就会得救了。
注意：在虚拟条件状语从句中，省略连词的倒装形式的句首不能用动词的缩略形式。如我们可说Were I not to do，而不能说Weren’t I to do。
五、含蓄虚拟条件句
含蓄条件句是指句中没有明显的虚拟条件句，而是利用其他手段来暗示存在虚拟条件。但是这类含蓄式虚拟条件句往往都可以转化为if引导的条件句。常用来表示含蓄虚拟条件的手段有：but for(要不是……的话)，but that(要不是……)，without(如果没有……)，supposing(假设……)，provided(倘若……)，otherwise(or else)(要不然)等。
But for your advice，I would have failed.(＝If you hadn’t given me advice，I would have failed.)
如果不是有你的建议，我会失败的。
But that she was afraid，she would have said no.
要不是她害怕的话，她就会说“不”了。
Without water，there would be no life.
如果没有水，就没有生命。
Supposing it should rain，we would still go.
假如下雨的话，我们还是要去。
He was very busy yesterday，otherwise he would have come to the party.
他昨天太忙了，否则的话，他就会来参加聚会了。
She would have come here，but she was too busy with her homework.
她本来要到这里来，但是她当时太忙于做作业了。
Having known this in time，I could have succeeded.(If I had known this in time，I could have succeeded.)
如果当时及时知道，我会成功的。
Given more time，he could have done better.(If he had been given more time，he could have done better.)
如果再给他一些时间，他可以做得更好。
If only I had more money，I could buy a car.
要是我有更多的钱，我就会买辆车了。

Dear Zhang Qiang，
I felt very worried when I heard that you are addicted to computer games.Although it’s generally believed that computer games are interesting and can inspire our imagination，yet if you abuse them，they will be harmful to you in many ways.To begin with，they will waste too much valuable time which should be spent on your study or other beneficial things.In addition，playing games for a long time will do harm to your health，especially to your eyes.Worse still，some games are full of violence，which will be harmful to your mental health.
Therefore，I strongly hope that you can break away from them.The earlier，the better.In order to live a meaningful life，you can read more good books，do more exercise to build up your body or participate in some social activities to expand your horizons.
Looking forward to your good news.
Yours，
Li Hua

My friend，Paul，loves ①abstract art and ②sculpture faithfully.We treat him as a ③humanistic artist as well as a superb sculptor.Yesterday I called at his ④gallery and saw his typical works.Among his possessions there are some ⑤realistic works about Renaissance and some figures of impressionists.At the corner there lie some canvas and a great deal of clay and marble with which he carved some ⑥ridiculous characters.
词语串串练
Last Saturday，organized by the local committee，he ⑦displayed his abstract paintings and sculptures along an avenue near his gallery.At the exhibition he also showed some ⑧bronzes he collected.The exhibition appealed to several famous critics，scholars in the flesh and many artists from metropolitan galleries，which could be seen from the signatures at the front counter.During the exhibition he showed people most of his collections which ⑨covered more than 5000 years of civilization from many parts of the world.The
contemporary Chinese paintings and sculptures were the ones that interested the visitors most.After the exhibition his reputation has spread far and wide.
Recently Paul attempts to draw landscape paintings.We can predict that he will become one of the most famous artists in the world in the near future.This is because， on the one hand，he has a specific preference for art， on the other hand，his painting technique is also perfect.We all wish he would have a bright future.
我的朋友保罗忠实地热爱
抽象艺术和雕刻。我们把
他看做是一位人文主义画
家，同时也是一位杰出的
雕刻家。昨天我去拜访了他的画廊，看到了他的代表(typical有代表性的)作。在他所拥有的作品中，有一些关于文艺复兴的现实主义的作品和一些印象派画家的画像。画廊墙角处堆放着一些画布、很多粘土和大理石，他用这些大理石来雕刻一些滑稽的人物。
上星期六，在当地委员会的组织下，他在画廊附近的一条林荫道上展出了他的抽象派画作和雕塑作品。在这个展览会上，他也展示了一些他收藏的青铜艺术品。这个展览吸引了几位著名的评论家和学者本人到现场，还有很多大城市的画廊的艺术家，这从前台的签名中就能看到。在展览会期间，他向大家展出了他大部分的收藏品，这些收藏品涵盖了来自于世界各地的五千多年的文明。中国当代的绘画和雕塑是参观者最感兴趣的。经过这次展览以后，他的名声大震。
最近保罗尝试画风景画。我们可以预测，在不久的将来，他将成为世界上最著名的画家之一。这是因为，一方面他对艺术的特殊爱好，另一方面，他的绘画技巧也是完美的。我们大家都祝愿他会有一个光明的未来。

THE BEST OF MANHATTAN’S ART GALLERIES
The Frick Collection(5th Avenue and E．70th Street)
Many art lovers would rather visit this small art gallery than any other in New York.Henry Clay Frick，a rich New Yorker，died in 1919，leaving his house，furniture and art collection to the American people.Frick had a preference for pre?twentieth century Western paintings，and these are well?represented in this excellent collection.You can also explore Frick’s beautiful home and garden which are well worth a visit.
Guggenheim Museum(5th Avenue and 88th Street)
This museum owns 5,000 superb modern paintings，sculptures and drawings.These art works are not all displayed at the same time.The exhibition is always changing.It will appeal to those who love Impressionist and Post?Impressionist paintings.The Guggenheim Museum building is also world?famous.When you walk into the gallery，you feel as if you were inside a fragile，white seashell.The best way to see the paintings is to start from the top floor and walk down to the bottom.There are no stairs，just a circular path.The museum also has an excellent restaurant.
Metropolitan Museum of Art(5th Avenue and 82nd Street)
The reputation of this museum lies in the variety of its art collection.This covers more than 5000 years of civilization from many parts of the world，including America，Europe，China，Egypt，other African countries and South America.The museum displays more than just the visual delights of art.It introduces you to ancient ways of living.You can visit an Egyptian temple，a fragrant Ming garden，a typical room in an 18th century French house and many other special exhibitions.
Museum of Modern Art(53rd Street，between 5th and 6th Avenues)
It is amazing that so many great works of art from the late 19th century to the 21st century are housed in the same museum.The collection of Western art includes paintings by such famous artists as Monet，Van Gogh，Picasso and Matisse.A few words of warning: the admission price is not cheap and the museum is often very crowded.
Whitney Museum of American Art(945 Madison Avenue，near 75th Street)
The Whitney holds an excellent collection of contemporary American painting and sculpture.There are no permanent displays in this museum and exhibitions change all the time.Every two years，the Whitney holds a special exhibition of new art by living artists.The museum also shows videos and films by contemporary video artists.
曼哈顿艺术画廊荟萃
弗里克收藏馆(第5大道(avenue)和第70街之间)
在纽约，比起其他艺术馆许多艺术爱好者都更乐意参观这家小型艺术陈列馆。亨利·克莱·弗里克是纽约的一位富豪，于1919年去世，他把他的住宅、家具和艺术收藏品全部留给了美国人民。弗里克对20世纪以前的西方绘画作品有偏爱(preference)，在珍藏品中这些是极好的代表。你还可以看一下弗里克美丽的故居和花园，它们是很值得一看的。
古根海姆博物馆(第5大道和第88街交汇处)
这家博物馆拥有5 000幅非常好的现代油画、雕塑和素描。这些艺术品并不是同时展出(display)的，展品总是在不断地更换。展览将吸引(appeal to)印象派和后印象派(post?impressionist)作品的爱好者。古根海姆博物馆的大楼也是世界闻名的。当你走进画廊的时候，你会觉得你进入了一个易碎的(fragile)白色贝壳之中。看画展最好是从顶层看起，一直往下看到底层。展厅里没有楼梯，只有一条环形的(circular)小道。博物馆里还有一家极好的餐馆。
大都会艺术博物馆(第5大道与第82街交汇处)
这家博物馆以收藏艺术品种类繁多而享有盛名(reputation)。它的艺术品收藏涵盖了五千多年来世界上众多国家的文明(civilization)史，其中包括美洲、欧洲、 中国、埃及(Egypt)、其他非洲国家和南美洲。这家博物馆展出的不只是可以看得见的(visual)艺术之美。它还向你介绍了古代的生活方式。你可以看到埃及的(Egyptian)寺庙，馥郁的(fragrant)明朝花园，18世纪法国住宅中的典型房间，以及许多其他特殊展品。
现代艺术博物馆(第53街，位于第5和第6大道之间)
令人惊奇的是，在同一家博物馆里竟能容纳下19世纪后期到21世纪如此众多的名家巨作。西方艺术的收藏包括了莫奈、凡·高、毕加索和马蒂斯等著名艺术家的作品。有几句话需要提醒你注意：博物馆票价不菲，而且常常十分拥挤。
惠特尼美国艺术博物馆(麦迪逊大道945号，靠近第75街)
惠特尼博物馆藏有极好的当代(contemporary)美国绘画和雕塑品。馆内没有永久性的(permanent)展出，展品都是随时更换的。惠特尼博物馆每两年有一次特殊的展览，展品是仍然在世的艺术家们的新作。这家博物馆还展出当代影视艺术家的录像和电影作品。

A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people.Styles in Western art have changed many times.As there are so many different styles of Western art，it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text.Consequently，this text will describe only the most important ones，starting from the sixth century AD.
The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)
During the Middle Ages，the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes.A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were.A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols，which created a feeling of respect and love for God.But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.
The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)
During the Renaissance，new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art.They tried to paint people and nature as they really were.Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings，so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses.They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves，their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.
One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective.This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428.When people first saw his paintings，they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene.If the rules of perspective had not been discovered，no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures.By coincidence，oil paints were also developed at this time，which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper.Without the new paints and the new technique，we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.
西方绘画艺术简史
艺术是受一个民族生活习俗和信仰(faith)的影响的。西方的艺术风格经历了多次变革。由于西方的艺术风格多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。因此(consequently)，本文只谈及公元6世纪以来最主要的几种艺术风格。
中世纪(公元5世纪到15世纪)
在中世纪，画家的主要目的(aim)是把宗教的主题表现出来。一个传统的(conventional)艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。
这个时期的典型的(typical)绘画充满了宗教的特征，体现出了对上帝的敬重与热爱。但是，很显然(evident)到了13世纪时，观念发生了变化，像乔托这样的画家开始以一种比较现实的风格来描绘宗教场景。
文艺复兴时期(15世纪到16世纪)
在文艺复兴时期，新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观。人们开始较少关注宗教主题而采取(adopt)一种更人性化的(humanistic)生活态度。同时画家们回到了罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。他们力争如实地画出人物和自然。富人们想拥有(possess)自己的绘画并用来装饰自己的高级(superb)宫殿和豪宅。
他们出钱聘请著名艺术家来为自己画像，画自己的房屋和财物(possession)，以及他们的活动和成就。
在此期间，最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法(perspective)来画出事物。这一方法(technique)是1428年由马萨乔第一次使用的。当人们第一次看到他的画时，还以为是透过墙上的小洞来观看真实的场景，并对此深信不疑。如果透视法没有被发现，人们就不可能画出如此逼真的画。巧合的是(by coincidence)这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展，它使得绘画的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉。没有新的颜料和新的(绘画)手法，我们就不会看到很多这一时代伟大的杰作(masterpiece)。
Impressionism(late 19th to early 20th century)
In the late 19th century，Europe changed a great deal，from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one.Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities.There were many new inventions and social changes.Naturally，these changes also led to new painting styles.Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists，who lived and worked in Paris.
The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors.They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day.However, because natural light changes so quickly，the Impressionists had to paint quickly.Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters.At first，many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it.They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.
Modern Art(20th century to today)
At the time they were created，the Impressionist paintings were controversial，but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call “modern art”．This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways.There are scores of modern art styles，but without the Impressionists，many of these painting styles might not exist.On the one hand，some modern art is abstract；that is，the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes，but instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object，using colour，line and shape to represent them.
On the other hand，some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs.These styles are so different.Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future
印象派时期(19世纪后期到20世纪初期)
19世纪后期，欧洲发生了巨大的(a great deal)变化，从以农业为主的社会变成了以工业为主的社会。许多人从农村迁入到新城市。这时期有许多发明和社会变革。这些变革也自然而然地促成了新的绘画风格。
在那些突破传统绘画风格的画家中有生活和工作在法国巴黎的印象派画家(impressionist)。
印象派画家是第一批室外绘画的画家。他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影(shadow)呈现出来。然而由于自然光的变化很快，印象派画家必须很快地作画。因此，他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了。起初，许多人都不喜欢这种画法，甚至还怒不可遏。他们说这些画家粗枝大叶，他们的作品更是荒谬可笑(ridiculous)。
现代艺术(20世纪至今)
在印象派作品的创建初期，它们是存在着争议的(controversial)，但是如今已被人们接受而成为现在我们所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了。这是因为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境。如今，现代艺术风格有几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那么这许多不同的风格可能就不会存在。一方面，有些现代艺术是抽象的，也就是说，画家并不打算(attempt)把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来，而是集中展现物体的某些品质特性，用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来。而另一方面(on the other hand)，有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么写实，看上去就像一幅幅照片。这些风格如此不同。谁能预言(predict)将来会有什么样的绘画艺术风格？

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001，I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist.I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died，so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him.In any case，I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画) much influenced(影响) by Krenkel and St.John for five years.
For some strange reason，I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again，but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth，who quickly became my favorite artist.I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look.So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting.However，watercolors remained my first choice，and I think I did my best work there，showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading.There is a time for everything in my world，and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do.As Confucius once said，“At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”
1．What is the text mainly about
A．Learning to paint in later life.
B．How to paint watercolors.
C．An artist－turned teacher.
D．Life after retirement.
解析：选D。这是一道主旨题。文章主要讲述作者退休后开始学习绘画的故事，表面看似乎在讲如何学习绘画。但是最后一段提到了piano playing and reading，并根据“it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do”可知作者的目的是讲退休后丰富的生活。
2．The author started drawing again in 1995 because ________.
A．he hoped to draw a picture of his father
B．he couldn’t stop missing his father
C．he had more time after retirement
D．he liked animals and landscapes
解析：选B。这是一道推理题。从第一段“perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father，”可知作者想从思念父亲中转移注意力，从而推理出作者十分想念父亲。
3．We can infer from the text that the author ________.
A．had been taught by Krenkel and St.John
B．painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 years
C．believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors
D．started his retirement life at the age of seventy
解析：选C。这是一道推理题。从“...found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look”作者发现Andrew Wyeth的画是最接近作者认为最好水彩画的标准，也就是说作者认为Andrew Wyeth的水彩画最好。
4．How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist
A．Very enjoyable.
B．A bit regretful.
C．Rather busy.
D．Fairly dull.
解析：选A。这是一道推理题。根据最后一段“There is a time for everything in my world and it is wonderful...”可知作者很享受这种艺术生活。
B
Land Art，sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks，is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art，taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s，when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today，works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world，sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land art，which is not necessarily unchangeable，can take a number of forms.For example，in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty(螺旋码头)，made of a collection of stones and mud，in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a common feature of Land Art.It can be created by moving components(组成部分) around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art，like salt，which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases，Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to evolve(逐步形成)，change，and eventually decay (衰落)．That’s one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they evolve and decay over time，which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artist.
5．From Paragraph 1，we can learn that ________.
A．Land Art aims to get people interested in nature
B．American artists were the first to create Land Art
C．Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s
D．people have been creating Land Art for thousands of years

6．All of the following are used to design the Spiral Jetty EXCEPT ________.
A．stones B．plants
C．salt D．mud
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中“made of a collection of stones and mud”以及第三段第三句中“like salt，which is added to the Spiral Jetty”可知，在创造Spiral Jetty时，艺术家使用了石头、泥土和盐。
7．What do we know about Robert Smithson
A．He is an American artist.
B．He is a pioneer in creating Land Art.
C．He created the most famous Land Art.
D．He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的the American artist可知Robert Smithson是美国的一名艺术家。
8．Land Art is attractive to the artists partly because ________.
A．it makes use of the landscape around
B．it offers the artists a chance to change nature
C．it will develop and be destroyed gradually by natural processes
D．it shows the extreme beauty of nature because artists use natural material
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后一句可知地景艺术对艺术家来说有吸引力的一个原因是随着时间的流逝，它会发生变化，直至衰落。
