七、阅读理解
A
GrandparentsAnsweraCall
As
a
third-generation
native
of
Brownsville,Texas,Mildred
Garza
never
planned
to
move
away.Even
when
her
daughter
and
son
asked
her
to
move
to
San
Antonio
to
help
with
their
children,she
politely
refused.Only
after
a
year
of
friendly
discussion
did
Ms.Garza
finally
say
yes.That
was
four
years
ago.Today
all
three
generations
regard
the
move
as
a
success,giving
them
a
closer
relationship
than
they
would
have
had
in
separate
cities.
No
statistics
show
the
number
of
grandparents
like
Garza
who
are
moving
closer
to
adult
children
and
grandchildren.Yet
there
is
evidence
suggesting
that
the
trend
is
growing.Even
President
Obama’s
mother-in-law,Marian
Robinson,has
agreed
to
leave
Chicago
and
move
into
the
White
House
to
help
care
for
her
granddaughters.According
to
a
study
by
grandparents.com,83
percent
of
the
people
said
Mrs.Robinson’s
decision
will
influence
grandparents
in
the
American
family.Two-thirds
believe
more
families
will
follow
the
example
of
Obama’s
family.
“In
the
1960s
we
were
all
a
little
wild
and
couldn’t
get
away
from
home
far
enough
or
fast
enough
to
prove
we
could
do
it
on
our
own,”says
Christine
Crosby,publisher
of
Grand,a
magazine
for
grandparents.“We
now
realize
how
important
family
is
and
how
important
it
is
to
be
near
them,especially
when
you’re
raising
children.”
Moving
is
not
for
everyone.Almost
every
grandparent
wants
to
be
with
his
or
her
grandchildren
and
is
willing
to
make
sacrifices,but
sometimes
it
is
wiser
to
say
no
and
visit
frequently
instead.Having
your
grandchildren
far
away
is
hard,especially
knowing
your
adult
child
is
struggling,but
giving
up
the
life
you
know
may
be
harder.

to

today
on
your
hike
to
Summit
Lake.I
think
you’ll

today’s
trip,which
will
offer
some
wonderful
views
as
well
as
some
close-up
looks
at
the
area’s
plants
and
animals.We’ll
begin
with
a
gentle
climb
in
this
open
forest
before
taking
a
short
downhill
walk
to
the
river.You’ll

trees

through
a
forest,then
a

a
stream
as
we

our
way
up
to

Lake.The
lake
is
small
and

with

lots
of
fish
just

for
lunch
at
the

an
hour
to
relax
and
take
photos
before
we
start
our

trip
on
a
different

will
take
us
past
three
small
lakes
before
the

hike
back
down
to
the
river.Our

The
Peales
were
a
famous
family
of
American
artists.Charles
Willson
Peale
is
best
remembered
for
his
portraits
of
leading
figures
of
the
American
Revolution.He
painted
portraits(肖像)
of
Franklin
and
Jefferson
and
over
a
dozen
of
George
Washington.His
life-size
portrait
of
his
sons
Raphaelle
and
Titian
was
so
realistic
that
George
Washington
reportedly
once
tipped
his
hat
to
the
figures
in
the
picture.
Charles
Willson
Peale
gave
up
painting
in
his
middle
age
and
devoted
his
life
to
the
Peale
museum,which
he
founded
in
Philadelphia.The
world’s
first
popular
museum
of
art
and
natural
science
mainly
covered
paintings
by
Peale
and
his
family
as
well
as
displays
of
animals
in
their
natural
settings.Peale
found
the
animals
himself
and
found
a
method
to
make
the
exhibits
more
lifelike.The
museum’s
most
popular
display
was
the
skeleton(骷髅)
of
a
huge,extinct
elephant,which
Peale
unearthed
on
a
New
York
farm
in
1801.
Three
of
Peale’s
seventeen
children
were
also
famous
artists.Raphaelle
Peale
often
painted
still
lives
of
flowers,fruit,and
cheese.His
brother
Rembrandt
studied
under
his
father
and
painted
portraits
of
many
noted
people,including
one
of
George
Washington.Another
brother,Rubens
Peale,painted
mostly
landscapes
and
portraits.
James
Peale,the
brother
of
Charles
Willson
Peale,specialized
in
miniatures(小画像).His
daughter
Sarah
Miriam
Peale
was
probably
the
first
professional
female
portrait
painter
in
America.
28.The
author
mentions
in
Paragraph
1
that
Washington
tipped
his
hat
to
the
figures
in
the
painting
to
show
that
.?
A.Charles
Willson
Peale’s
painting
was
very
lifelike
B.Washington
respected
Charles
Willson
Peale’s
work
C.Washington
was
friendly
with
Raphaelle
and
Titian
Peale
D.the
painting
of
the
two
brothers
was
very
large
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据前半句“Hislife-sizeportraitofhissonsRaphaelleandTitianwassorealistic”尤其是单词realistic(现实的)可知,其作品画得很生动。可知A项正确。
29.Theunderlinedword“unearthed”isclosestinmeaningto“ ”.?
A.showed
B.invented
C.dugup
D.lookedover
答案C
解析推理判断题。博物馆最受欢迎的是一种大型的,已经绝迹的大象的骷髅,肯定是从地底下挖掘出来的,可知答案选C项。

Grant
Wood’s
American
Gothic
caused
a
stir(轰动)in
1930
when
it
was
exhibited
for
the
first
time
at
the
Art
Institute
of
Chicago
and
awarded
a
prize
of
300
dollars.Newspapers
across
the
country
carried
the
story,and
the
painting
of
a
farmer
and
a
younger
woman
posed
before
a
white
house
brought
the
artist
instant
fame.
In
1930,Grant
Wood,an
American
painter
with
European
training,noticed
a
small
white
house
built
in
the
small
southern
Iowa
town
of
Eldon.Wood
was
so
fascinated
by
it
that
he
decided
to
paint
the
house
along
with
the
kind
of
people
he
thought
should
live
in
that
house.In
the
painting,the
farmer
is
modeled
on
his
dentist.Dr.Byron
McKeeby.His
younger
sister
Nan
served
as
a
model
for
the
woman
(imagined
to
be
the
farmer’s
wife
or
daughter).Wood
wanted
to
give
a
description
of
the
traditional
roles
of
men
and
women
as
the
man
is
holding
a
pitchfork(干草叉)
symbolizing
hard
labor.Each
element
was
painted
separately;the
models
sat
separately
and
never
stood
in
front
of
the
house.The
Gothic
style
of
the
house
inspired
the
painting’s
title.
American
Gothic
remains
one
of
the
most
famous
paintings
in
the
history
of
American
art.The
painting
has
become
part
of
American
popular
culture.Some
believe
that
Wood
used
it
to
satirize(讽刺)
the
narrow-mindedness
that
has
been
said
to
characterize
Midwestern
culture.The
painting
may
also
be
read
as
a
praise
of
the
moral
virtue
or
rural
America
or
even
as
a
mixture
of
praise
and
satire.American
Gothic
is
one
of
the
few
images
to
reach
the
status
of
cultural
symbol,along
with
Leonardo
da
Vinci’s
the
MonaLisa.
32.What
can
we
learn
about
American
Gothic?
A.It
won
a
prize
of
￡300.
B.The
two
characters
in
it
posed
before
the
White
House.
C.It
was
the
first
painting
by
Grant
Wood.
D.It
was
on
show
at
the
Art
Institute
of
Chicago
in
1930.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“GrantWood’sAmericanGothiccausedastir(轰动)in1930whenitwasexhibitedforthefirsttimeattheArtInstituteofChicagoandawardedaprizeof300dollars.”可知美式哥特1930年在芝加哥的艺术研究所被展出,故选D项。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Children
art
education
is
something
that
is
much
encouraged
for
the
child’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. 36 ?
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. 37 ?
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. 38
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. 39
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. 40
But
after
that,you
must
wait
for
the
children
themselves
to
come
up
with
something
meaningful
to
their
ability.As
long
as
the
end
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.A
trip
to
an
art
museum
can
be
an
inspiration
to
many
students.
C.They
also
have
a
place
where
they
can
express
all
their
feelings.
D.The
reason
for
this
could
be
the
lack
of
interest
in
the
teacher.
E.This
is
the
only
way
that
art
can
be
appreciated
as
children
grow
up.
F.So
creating
the
right
environment
for
children
art
education
is
very
important.
G.Instead,put
up
paintings
that
children
will
be
fond
of.

第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Years
ago,a
critical
event
occurred
in
my
life
that
would
change
it
forever.I
met
Kurt
Kampmeir
of
Success
Motivation
Incorporation
for
breakfast.While
we
were
41 ,Kurt
asked
me,“John,what
is
your
42
for
personal
growth?”?
Never
at
a
loss
for
words,I
tried
to
find
things
in
my
life
that
might
43
for
growth.I
told
him
about
the
many
activities
in
which
I
was
involved.And
I
went
into
a
44
about
how
hard
I
worked
and
the
gains
I
was
making.I
must
have
talked
for
ten
minutes.Kurt
45
patiently,but
then
he
46
smiled
and
said,“You
don’t
have
a
personal
plan
for
growth,do
you?”?
“No,”I
47 .?
“You
know,”Kurt
said
simply,“growth
is
not
a(n)
48
process.”?
And
that’s
when
it
49
me.I
wasn’t
doing
anything
on
purpose
to
make
myself
better.And
at
that
moment,I
made
the
50 :I
will
develop
and
follow
a
personal
growth
plan
for
my
51 .?
That
night,I
talked
to
my
wife
about
my
52
with
Kurt
and
what
I
had
learned.I
showed
her
the
workbook
and
tapes
Kurt
was
selling.We
53
that
Kurt
wasn’t
just
trying
to
make
a
sale.He
was
offering
a
way
for
us
to
change
our
lives
and
achieve
our
dreams.?
Several
important
things
happened
that
day.First,we
decided
to
54
the
resources.But
more
importantly,we
made
a
commitment
to
grow
together
as
a
couple.From
that
day
on,we
learned
together,traveled
together,and
sacrificed
together.It
was
a
55
decision.While
too
many
couples
grow
apart,we
were
growing
together.?
41.A.working
B.preparing
C.thinking
D.eating
答案D
解析上一句提到forbreakfast,因此应该是在吃饭。
42.A.suggestion
B.demand
C.plan
D.request
答案C
解析第二段最后一句中的“Youdon’thaveapersonalplanforgrowth”有明确提示。
43.A.appeal
B.look
C.call
D.qualify
答案D
解析句意:我努力找到生活中可以算得上成长的事情。qualifyfor“够格”,与句意相符。appealfor“呼吁”,callfor“要求”,lookfor“寻找”。
44.A.lecture
B.speech
C.discussion
D.debate
答案B
解析由下一句Imusthavetalkedfortenminutes提示,此处指“我”一个人讲了很长时间。speech意为“演出;讲话”。lecture是给别人讲课,不符合双方的身份。Kurt一直没说话,所以谈不上discussion或debate。
45.A.calculated
B.listened
C.drank
D.explained
答案B
解析由本段语境可知,“我”一个人在讲,Kurt耐心地听。
46.A.eagerly
B.gradually
C.gratefully
D.finally
答案D
解析(等“我”讲完)最后,Kurt说话了。
47.A.admitted
B.interrupted
C.apologized
D.complained
答案A
解析上一句Kurt问“我”,用的是反意疑问句,由“我”的回答“No”(完整回答应为“No,Idon’t,”)可知,“我”承认自己还没有个人成长规划。
48.A.automatic
B.slow
C.independent
D.changing
答案A
解析下一段提到“我”意识到“我”没有去做任何事情来提高自己,并决定开始制定行动计划。由此可以推知,Kurt的意思是:成长不是一个自动的过程。这暗示着要想成长,就要有所行动。
49.A.confused
B.informed
C.pleased
D.hit
答案D
解析句意:Kurt的话让“我”突然意识到(自身的问题所在)。sth.hitsb.“某人突然想起/意识到……”,与语境相符。confuse“使困惑”;inform“通知”;please“使满意”。
50.A.comment
B.announcement
C.decision
D.arrangement
答案C
解析从后面的句子可以看出,“我”做出了一个决定。故选decision“决定”。comment“评论”;announcement“通知”;arrangement“安排”。
51.A.life
B.progress
C.performance
D.investment
答案A
解析文中三次提到life,多次提到个人成长,可以确定此处为人生发展规划。
52.A.contract
B.conversation

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Desiree,a
4-year-old
girl,was
sobbing
quietly
over
her
father,Ken,who
had
died
nine
months
earlier.She
was
hugging
a
photograph
of
her
father
with
her
fingers
running
around
his
face.“Daddy”,she
said
softly,“Why
won’t
you
come
back?”
Instead
of
gradually
adjusting
to
her
father’s
death,Desiree
refused
to
accept
it.“Daddy
will
be
home
soon,”
she’d
tell
her
mother.“He’s
at
work.”
When
she
played
with
her
toy
telephone,she
pretended
she
was
chatting
with
her
father.“I
miss
you,Daddy,”
she’d
say,“When
will
you
come
back?”
Desiree’s
situation
made
her
mother
worried.
Days
later,it
was
Ken’s
birthday.“How
will
I
send
him
a
card?”
Desiree
asked
her
mother.“How
about
if
we
tie
a
letter
to
a
balloon,”
her
mother
said,“and
send
it
up
to
heaven?”
Desiree’s
eyes
immediately
lit
up.
Her
mother
took
her
to
a
store
and
Desiree
picked
out
a
balloon
with
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
above
a
drawing
of
The
Little
Mermaid(美人鱼).Desiree
and
her
father
had
often
watched
it.The
child’s
eyes
shone
as
they
were
on
the
way
to
Ken’s
grave.Then
Desiree
dictated
a
letter
to
her
dad.“Tell
him,‘Happy
birthday,I
love
you
and
miss
you,’”
she
rattled
off(快速说).“I
hope
you
get
this
and
can
write
to
me
on
my
birthday
in
January.”
Her
mother
wrote
the
message
and
their
address
on
a
small
piece
of
paper,which
was
then
wrapped
in
plastic
and
tied
to
the
end
of
the
string
on
the
balloon.Finally,Desiree
released
the
balloon.For
almost
an
hour,they
watched
the
shining
spot
of
silver
grow
smaller
and
smaller
till
disappear.“Now
Dad’s
going
to
write
back
to
me,”
Desiree
declared
confidently.
Every
day
since
they’d
released
the
balloon,Desiree
had
asked
her
mother,“Do
you
think
Daddy
has
my
balloon
yet?”
Several
weeks
passed,and
she
stopped
asking.
