●Relax as you look at work.

Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that”and drop previous opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. Try to approach the art with an open mind and don’t compare it with other works, especially if it’s not in the same style.
●Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.
Instead of trying to focus on the technical aspects of the art, ask yourself how the art makes you feel. 3 , it has an effect on you. Do be honest with yourself when you describe your real feelings. ?

Running on the beach can certainly be a good thing. It’s completely different from running on the pavement, a track or trails with soft surfaces.
For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven(不平的)surface and constantly moves under your feet. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or pavement! But this unevenness has an upside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces.
You also might feel painful afterward because beaches tend to slope(倾斜)downward, toward the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body—including your ankle, leg or knee—might feel more painful because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.
Some beach runners tend to run barefoot. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and run short distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet.
Despite these challenges, running on sand can be a smart choice for athletes because running on it can decrease the bad influence on your body during high-intensity workouts. This could potentially lead to less muscle damage and less pain. Women had less myoglobin(肌红蛋白)—a protein that can be a sign of muscle pain—in their blood after running on the sand than they did after running on grass. This suggests running on softer ground surfaces, such as sand, may reduce muscle damage.
1. What makes running on sand difficult for starters?
A. The smooth surface. B. The moving surface.
C. The sloping surface. D. The hard surface.
2. Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Advantage. B. Reason.
C. Surprise. D. Challenge.
3. What should you avoid when trying running barefoot?
A. Starting slowly.
B. Adapting your feet.
C. Developing some muscles.
D. Running long distances.
4. What is the benefit of running on sand to women?
A. Having no muscle damage.
B. Becoming much healthier.
C. Feeling less painful.
D. Having a good feeling.
B
My family, my wife, Joan, our two teenagers Hannah and Joseph, and I, live in Atlanta with our two dogs.
Ten years ago, we moved into our dream house, a very big three-story home. It was a beautiful place, but as our children grew up, our sense of togetherness (团结) began to disappear slowly. In the big house, we sometimes seemed to be strangers to each other.
One day when Hannah was 14, she became upset about the difference between the world’s haves and the have-nots. She expected us to be “a family that makes a difference in the world, even if it’s a small difference. ” Joan asked her, “What are you willing to sacrifice? Your house? Your room? ” Hannah said yes to both. After talking it over as a family, we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price and donate (捐赠) the difference to those in need.
After a lot of research, we chose the Hunger Project, a US-based organization. It works with villagers in Africa, Asia and South America and helps them fight against poverty (贫穷). Our money went to pay for building two centers. Each has a meeting place, a bank and a health clinic (诊所). Together, the centers would serve more than 20 villages in eastern Ghana. We also traveled to meet the villagers and were blown away by their hard work and warmth.
To be honest, we were a little worried at first. Would we regard the new home as being too small for us? Or would we think we had given up too much? Two years later, I can tell you: It’s the best move we have ever made. While we worked together on our family project, we became much closer. As Hannah said the other day, “We learned how to really trust each other. ”
5. After they moved into a large house, the author’s family ______. ?
A. were not as close as before
B. wanted an even larger house
C. often went travelling together
D. often let strangers share their spare rooms
6. What does the underlined word “sacrifice” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Hope for. B. Look for.
C. Give up. D. Build up.
7. Why did the author’s family sell their big house?
A. To go abroad.
B. To help the poor.
C. To treat Hannah’s illness.
D. To save money for the future.
8. How did the author feel about his family’s move?
A. It was well worth it.
B. It was a bad decision.
C. It was a waste of money.
D. It wasn’t as satisfying as expected.

1. 【解析】选D。根据下文it’s best to go to the gallery or view the art when you’re in a relaxed mood so that the art affects you in a positive way. (当你心情放松的时候, 最好是去画廊或欣赏艺术品, 这样艺术就会以积极的方式影响你。)可知本空说明紧张会影响你如何享受艺术。故选D。
2. 【解析】选A。根据本段第一句Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and drop previous opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. (避免说“任何人都能做到”之类的话, 在你真正看到艺术品之前, 放下你之前对它的看法。)可知要尽可能客观地看待艺术品。故选A。
3. 【解析】选B。根据上文Instead of trying to focus on the technical aspects of the art, ask yourself how the art makes you feel. (与其关注艺术的技术层面, 不如问问自己艺术给你的感觉如何。)可知要着重于艺术给自己的感觉, 如果它让你快乐、悲伤、焦虑或兴奋, 它就会对你产生影响。故B选项符合语境。
4. 【解析】选F。根据上文Most art tries to express a feeling like sadness, anger, or happiness. (大多数艺术试图表达一种感觉, 如悲伤、愤怒或快乐。)可知艺术家会将自己的情感表现在作品当中, 例如, 如果艺术家看到一场战争, 他的作品中可能会表达出一种悲伤的情绪。故F选项符合语境。
5. 【解析】选E。根据本段小标题Speak and talk with artists. (与艺术家交谈。)中speak可对应到E选项中speak to them, 表示“花时间和他们(艺术家)交谈。”故E选项符合语境。
【阅读理解】
A
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven surface and constantly moves under your feet. (对于初学者来说, 沙子可能是个挑战, 因为它的表面不平整, 而且在你脚下不停地移动。)可知运动的表面使得初学者刚开始在沙地上跑步很困难。
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据下文It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. (它给你的身体提供了额外的锻炼, 迫使你锻炼肌肉, 而这些肌肉在坚实的地面上跑步时不会得到太多的锻炼。)可知是在描述这种不平整的一个好处。故可推测划线单词意思为“好处”。
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第四段第二句However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and run short distances at first. (然而, 如果你不习惯赤脚跑步, 开始时要慢慢来, 跑短距离。)可知要避免赤脚跑长距离。
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段中Women had less myoglobin—a protein that can be a sign of muscle pain-in their blood after running on the sand than they did after running on grass. This suggests running on softer ground surfaces, such as sand, may reduce muscle damage. (女性在沙滩上跑步后血液中的肌红蛋白含量比在草地上跑步时要低。这表明在较软的地面上跑步, 比如沙地, 可以减少肌肉损伤。)可知对女性来说, 在沙滩上跑步的好处是不会那么痛苦。
B
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句In the big house, we sometimes seemed to be strangers to each other. 可知他们搬进大房子之后, 家人之间的关系疏远了。
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。从她母亲的问话“Your house? Your room? ”以及下文所描述的他们的行动可知该词的含义是“牺牲, 放弃”, 与”give up”同义。
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句After talking it over as a family, we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price and donate the difference to those in need. 以及下文内容可知他们卖掉房子是为了给穷人提供帮助。

【应用文】
The popular film, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which is based on Mandela’s autobiography, has been shown in South Africa and the United States since November 28, 2013. Born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918, Mandela was sentenced to five years’ labour for encouraging violence against anti-black laws in 1962. Two years later, he was sentenced to prison for life for being one of the ANC leaders, but after being released from prison in 1990, he continued to make efforts to achieve the dream of making black and white people equal. Owing to his great work, not only did he win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, but also he was elected (as) President of South Africa a year later.
This excellent film has been made in honor of Mandela, which is really worth seeing because you can benefit a lot from it.

【应用文】
The popular film, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which is based on Mandela’s autobiography, has been shown in South Africa and the United States since November 28, 2013. Born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918, Mandela was sentenced to five years’ labour for encouraging violence against anti-black laws in 1962. Two years later, he was sentenced to prison for life for being one of the ANC leaders, but after being released from prison in 1990, he continued to make efforts to achieve the dream of making black and white people equal. Owing to his great work, not only did he win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, but also he was elected (as) President of South Africa a year later.
This excellent film has been made in honor of Mandela, which is really worth seeing because you can benefit a lot from it.
