A
The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece — have stood the test of time.
The Amolfini Portrait

Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
21. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?
A.The Starry Night. B. The Amolfini Portrait.
C. Guernica. D. The Harvesters.
22. Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons?
A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh.
C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso.
23. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?
A. It was painted on wood in oils.
B. It described the painter’s life in hospital.
C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.
D. It was given away to the museum by a collector. B
It was last weekend when my kids and I flew to Texas for my daughter’s trampoline (蹦床) competition, plus a couple of side trips. We would tour the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. We would visit Waco’s Magnolia Market. We would play outdoor mini golf in January.

We would have nothing to complain about! We would be leaving behind school and work for a hotel pool and having wall-to-wall fun!
And yet — we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?
Luckily, I remembered to take my imaginary coat of armor (盔甲) with me. I’ve learned to put it on as soon as we arrive somewhere as no complaint can get through it. They simply bounce off it and land harmlessly at my feet. I shrug (耸肩). I smile.
For three days, we had great fun. Silly complaints were ignored, and we had greater fun. Until it was time to return the car, get on a plane, and fly home.
Except our flight was canceled. And so was the flight after that. And once that airline resumed (恢复) flying, there would be no room on any of its flights for another 21 hours.
We spent the next couple of hours securing seats for the next evening, tracking down our already-checked bags, and finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed. We swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and singing and jumping and laughing.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is a lot more than I thought before. It’s discovering that things don’t have to go right to go well. It’s remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them. My kids made them at the tail end of a very long day, in a tiny pool near a Texas airport. So I did too.
24. What was the author’s main reason for travelling to Texas?
A. To visit a football stadium.
B. To take part in a golf event.
C. To accompany her daughter to a game.
D. To shop on a famous international market.
25. How did the author deal with the unsatisfying things during the trip?
A. She paid no attention to them.
B. She turned to strangers for help.
C. She put on her armor to avoid them.
D. She asked her children to solve them.
26. What did the author learn from the trip?
A. Travel more with children. B. Happiness is something you make.
C. Book a flight in advance. D. Respect children’s rights.
27. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Best Family Vacation Ever
B. The Best Things About Travelling
C. Find the Source of Happy Memories
D. Travelling with Children Around the World C
The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City (《我在故宫修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the

past. Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on 16 December, focuses on ordinary people — the restorers of relics and antiquities (古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness... all these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved many people’s wrong ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realise that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
28. Why is the documentary movie made?
A. To show people how antiques are restored.
B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives.
D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
29. What does Wang Jin mean in paragraph 3?
A. He often gets tired with his work.
B. There is no need to do restoration work fast.
C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful.
D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration.
30. What does the underlined word “humdrum” most probably mean?
A. Boring. B. Different. C. Relaxing. D. Unusual.
31. What’s the purpose of the bicycle-riding scene in the movie?
A. To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor.
B. To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers.
C. To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future.
D. To show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers.

D
Quite often, no matter how good you are, your success is dependent on how other people such as your boss, peers, clients and customers perceive your communication and responses. So when you come to people who make the key difference between helping you or holding you back, how can you influence and persuade them to give what you want?
Psychological researches repeatedly show that people generally make up their minds on whether to help or hinder you based on whether they like you or not. It is human nature. What can you do about it? You need to make a good impression on others to ensure they like you and give you what you want. Research again shows that people give opportunities to the people they like best. In fact, most people actually make up their minds about other people in the first five minutes or less of meeting someone. These are called first impressions or “moments of truth” .
Once they make up their minds, they tend to be very reluctant to change their opinions. You hardly have room for error when making that first impression on a new acquaintance. Therefore, whether you are applying for a job, going for an interview, attending a meeting with your boss or peers, or serving a customer, you need to prepare yourself mentally and rehearse how you will manage the first few minutes of your interaction. This includes doing your homework to gather information and researching all possible issues so you will know how to address them should the other party raise them unexpectedly.
It is amazing how poorly some people can come across at the beginning. The worst thing is that they do not even seem to realize it. Having good qualifications and an excellent work performance does not excuse candidates from trying to make a good first impression.
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Persuading people to like you. B. People making the key difference.
C. Winning strategies for a job interview. D. Making a good first impression.
33. Which is the way people tend to decide whether to like other people or not?
A. They make quick decisions.
B. They change their opinions frequently.
C. They prefer people who are experienced.
D. They pay much attention to good qualifications.
34. Which of the following strategies might help in an interview?
A. Show your friendliness and confidence.
B. Ask the interviewers for homework to do.
C. Know as much as possible about the situation.
D. Do something unexpected to impress interviewers.
35. What will probably be talked about in the next part of the passage?
A. Examples of how good first impressions help people succeed.
B. Some practical advice to help make a good first impression.
C. Questions that might be asked by the interviewers.
D. How to win over people who don't like you at first.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says that 80% of the world’s teens don’t get enough exercise to live healthy lives. The report, published in The Lancet, was based on research done with students aged 11 to 17 in 146 different countries. The WHO has been studying teen activity levels since 2001. 36
Doctors say 60 minutes’ daily exercise is needed for teens to build up their bone and muscle strength. 37 Regular activity can help them control their weight, too. Besides, more and more research is showing that exercise doesn’t just help the body, but also the brain, improving thinking, test scores, and school grades.
38 They were also very different between boys and girls. In the US, for example, 64% of boys were not active enough, compared to 80% of girls. ROK (Republic of Korea) was the country with the lowest activity levels — 91% of the boys and 97% of the girls didn’t get enough exercise.
One big reason for the lack of activity in today’s teens is technology, such as smartphones, computers and TVs. 39 The pattern of inactivity can severely affect their growth.
The WHO warns that teens need to do less playing in the digital world, and more playing in the real world. Teens should take part in sports, whether on official teams or just playing around on the playground. Exercise can also be built into a normal day’s activities. 40 Building such a habit now has positive effects on teens’ life.
A. Opinions are divided on this issue.
B. Activity levels vary with countries.
C. Everyday workout also benefits them academically.
D. However, not much is reported to have changed since then.
E. Many teens find it hard to pull themselves away from them.
F. It’s also hugely important for the health of the heart and lungs.
G. For many people, walking or biking to school is one way to make that happen.

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。
I insisted on dropping out of college after my first semester in order to try and join the Merchant Marine (商船队). Using an article from Life as my guide, I decided to hitchhike (搭便 车) down to New Orleans and see the world.
My family is relatively poor and my youth was in the workers’ section of a large New England mill town. My father and I have spent a difficult time since my mother passed away. It often seems as if we were more like roommates rather than father and son. He thought I was foolish to drop out of school; I didn’t inform him of my plans.

One day in February, I left a note on the kitchen table, telling him I was going to New Orleans for a few days and would be back soon. I walked to a highway near where I lived, stuck out my thumb, and was “on the road.”
My trip to New Orleans was a mistake. The Merchant Marine wasn’t taking on (让...上客) any people for a while. I decided to wait in New Orleans until it did. I lasted over a week, living in a dirty hotel until my money started to run out. I had to sleep in the park for a few days. Life seemed to become a continuous adventure. I wrote embarrassingly terrible poetry to express my bitterness.
From New Orleans I went to New York and stayed with a friend for a few weeks, then Martha’s Vineyard, living on the beach in April. After that, a deserted house and, finally, an extended stop in Boston. There was still no word from the Merchant Marine. I felt so desperate. My close friend Jimmy called me one day and asked me how everything was going. I had to tell
him the truth and he soon persuaded me to go back.

续写范文：
I had been gonefor over two months when I came back to my father’s . I had expected he would explode with violent anger because I didn’t call or even send a postcard after I had left. I walked into the living room and sat down, waiting for a volcano to erupt. My father was reading a newspaper, glanced up, nodded at me, and then went back to his paper. He kept on reading for what seemed an hour but in fact it was probably only 5 to 10 minutes.
Finally, he put his paper down and looked at me. He sighed and shook his head. “I made mistakes in my youth; it looks as if you had to make yours. Just, please, be careful and don’t get hurt,” he said. He then went back to reading. I felt so shocked and bowed my head in shame. I had prided myself on my talent and turned a deaf ear to my father's advice. I felt deep regret at the missed opportunity. I decided to go back to college and finish my degree.
