A

MyFavouriteBooks

Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the ThisBookWill series (系列) of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.

Matilda

Roald Dahl

I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they’re also aspirational.

AfterDark

Haruki Murakami

It’s about two sisters—Eri,a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.

GoneGirl

Gillian Flynn

There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.

TheStand

Stephen King

This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population,a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

The Paris museum looks like a jumble(杂乱的一堆) of giant,coloured pipes.The museum—the Pompidou Centre—has a secure place in the heart of Paris and in Parisians’ hearts.But it wasn’t always the case.

“When it was first built,the reaction was one of disbelief,” said Serge Lasvignes,president of the Pompidou Centre.“LeMonde newspaper wrote the museum’s construction brought shame on Paris,and city politicians thought their money had been totally wasted,” said Lasvignes.Critics said it looked like an oil refinery(炼油厂).

France’s first museum entirely devoted to contemporary art saw the light of day thanks to the determination of one man—Georges Pompidou,an art-lover who served as France’s president from 1969 to 1974.

In 1971,he started an international competition to build the museum,originally known as the Centre Beaubourg.The winning team,which included three young architects from Britain and Italy,was completely unknown at the time.Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers,the two architects who saw the project through,made the plan a reality.

“They didn’t think they had a chance to win.So they thought they might as well do exactly what they wanted,” Lasvignes said.

“The design took everyone by surprise and it was completely different from any other museum.Someone said to Piano,‘Your thing is terrible—with the escalator(自动扶梯) on the outside,it looks like a supermarket!’” Lasvignes added.

Forty years later,the museum still tries to make culture available to everyone,Lasvignes said.He calls the Pompidou Centre a museum like no other.“We are not only a museum,” he said.“We have concerts,debates,performances,a library...and everything flows together.” Pompidou felt putting up walls between different forms of art was harmful.“So we are a house of culture where people return again and again,” Lasvignes said.

The Pompidou Centre is Europe’s biggest modern art museum;New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is the biggest in the world.“But the two museums have totally different strategies,” Lasvignes said.“The MoMA’s strategy is to collect masterpieces,and we try to represent an entire epoch (时代).”

24.What was people’s attitude to the Pompidou Centre at first?

A.They disliked it. 

B.They respected it.

C.They were curious about it. 

D.They paid little attention to it.

答案A

解析推理判断题。由第二段可知,该艺术中心初建时,受到了社会的广泛质疑,可得出人们一开始不喜欢蓬皮杜中心。故选A项。

25.Who completed the construction of the Paris museum?

A.President of the Centre Beaubourg. 

B.Three unknown French architects.

C.Georges Pompidou. 

D.Piano and Rogers.

答案D

解析细节理解题。由第四段中的“RenzoPianoandRichardRogers,thetwoarchitectswhosawtheprojectthrough,madetheplanareality.”可知是Piano和Rogers这两位设计师将蓬皮杜艺术中心建成的。故选D项。

26.What was the Pompidou Centre like in Lasvignes’ eyes?

A.Very solid. 

B.Quite traditional.

C.Entirely original. 

D.Extremely simple.

答案C

解析推理判断题。由第五段和第六段中的“Thedesigntookeveryonebysurpriseanditwascompletelydifferentfromanyothermuseum.”可知,Lasvignes说Piano和Rogers这两位设计师认为没有赢的机会,就按自己的心意设计,使蓬皮杜艺术中心与其他任何博物馆都完全不同,因此,这种完全不同的设计在Lasvignes眼里完全就是原创(Entirelyoriginal)。故选C项。

27.Which is a notable feature of the Pompidou Centre?

A.It collects great masterpieces. 

B.It holds various cultural events.

C.It is the world’s biggest art museum. 

D.It is particularly attractive to foreigners.

答案B

解析细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知,蓬皮杜艺术中心的主要特色是,它不仅仅是一家博物馆,同时也举办各种文化活动。故选B项。

C

The values of artistic works,according to cultural relativism(相对主义),are simply reflections of local conditions,economic conditions for example.Such a view,however,fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.

History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world.It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls,as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries.Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art,even if they began as works of popular art.They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries in the future.

In a 1757 essay,the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform in human nature”,the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent.He observed that Homer was still admired after 2,000 years.Works of this type, he believed,represented deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.

Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art.For example,evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction.The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before.Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.

28.According to the passage,what do we know about cultural relativism?

A.It introduces different cultural values.

B.It relates artistic values to local conditions.

C.It explains the history of artistic works in detail.

D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.

答案B

解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Thevaluesofartisticworks,accordingtoculturalrelativism,aresimplyreflectionsoflocalconditions,economicconditionsforexample.”可知,文化相对主义把艺术价值与当地状况联系起来。故选B项。

29.What does the author intend to show by mentioning the artists in paragraph 2?

A.The charm of great art is universal and lasting.

B.Popular art is hardly different from great art.

C.Great artists are skilled at combing various cultures.

D.Great art refers to works of popular arts in the beginning.

答案A

解析推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,“文化相对主义把艺术价值与当地状况联系起来”这样的观点无法解释为何某些艺术作品在不同文化和几个世纪中都有着激发人类心灵的能力。而在第二段中出现的艺术家们就是为了说明这些至今还在全世界流行着的伟大艺术作品可以超越时间和国界,也是对上文观点的解释。故选A项。

30.According to Hume,what’s the reason that some works of art can exist for centuries?

A.They are results of scientific study.

B.They establish general principles of art.

C.They are created by the world’s greatest artists.

D.They reflect unchanging features of human nature.

答案D

解析细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知,Hume认为,一些艺术作品可以存在几个世纪,是因为这种类型的作品反映了人性不变的特征。故选D项。

31.Which of the following serves as the best title of the passage?

A.Is Popular Art Universal? 

B.Is Human Nature Uniform?

C.Is Great Art Permanent? 

D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?

答案C

解析标题归纳题。本文主要讨论了艺术价值是否不变这个问题。C 项最能概括标题。

D

Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city’s cultural heritage,in particular the narrow streets known as Hutongs.

Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China,but they are in danger.Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 Hutongs,most of which are near the Forbidden City.Only 60 years ago,the number was 3,250.In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng,some people will be asked to move from Hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.

“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Forbidden City during the National Day holidays.The visits put pressure on the protection of cultural relics,” said the director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning,adding that Hutongs should be protected from human damage.

The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of cultural heritage worked.The head of the Xicheng district government,said the area has 182 cultural relics,many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).“The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage.”

“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage,especially Hutongs,and any actions to damage the heritage will be punished.”

No one knows for sure how many Hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.

32.How many Hutongs have disappeared in the past sixty years in Beijing?

A.Fewer than 1,000. B.About 2,000.

C.More than 3,000. D.Over 4,000.

答案B

解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Beijingiscurrentlybelievedtohavefewerthan1,000Hutongs,mostofwhichareneartheForbiddenCity.Only60yearsago,thenumberwas3,250.”可知,北京胡同的数量由60年前的3,250条减少至现在的不到1,000条,共减少了大约2,000条。故选B项。

33.According to paragraph 3,which of the following is the main reason for the damage to cultural relics?

A.People’s activity. 

B.Residents’ attitude.

C.Communities’ behaviour.

D.The governments’ policy.

答案A

解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Thevisitsputpressureontheprotectionofculturalrelics...”和“Hutongsshouldbeprotectedfromhumandamage”可知,文化遗迹遭到破坏的主要因素是人们的活动。故选A项。

34.Which of the following is a useful way to protect Hutongs?

A.To attract more visitors.

B.To forbid everyone from getting close to it.

C.To increase the local population.

D.To punish anyone damaging it.

答案D

解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“...anyactionstodamagetheheritagewillbepunished.”可知,加大对破坏胡同行为的惩罚是保护胡同比较有用的措施。故选D项。

35.What is the author’s attitude towards Hutongs?

A.Optimistic. B.Pessimistic. 

C.Uninterested. D.Appreciative.

答案B

解析推理判断题。根据最后一段“NooneknowsforsurehowmanyHutongswillbeleftinthecoming100years.”可知,作者对胡同未来的命运深感担忧,持悲观态度。故选B项。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文,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。

If you have ever been in a school play or even been made to believe you were a doctor,detective,or a space traveler,you know the enjoyment that acting brings.Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone—or something else.　36　 

In the ancient world,acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions.As far back as 2200 BCE trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and make-up at harvest festivals.　37　 To the dance was gradually added pantomime—the imitation of movements and gestures—as well as the wearing of masks,the singing of chants,and finally the use of dialogue. 

While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre,it was doing the same in the western world,in Greece.From about 500 BCE on,acting became a highly specialised art in Greece.Greek actors,however,still wore masks,and their motions were largely fixed by custom.　38　 

Modern acting,by contrast,gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious,comic,or musical drama.The names,faces,and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide.　39　 A special form of acting takes place in radio drama,which was highly popular before television.In radio drama the actors face a unique challenge.They are unseen by their audience.So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners. 

　40　 Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed,most of them for only part of the year.Those who become stars need not only talent,but determination.They must not be easily discouraged.Otherwise,they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself. 

A.The origins of acting are in the act of remembering.

B.Drama in Greece began with festivals honouring Dionysus.

C.It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.

D.Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilisation itself.

E.Acting is not,as many people think,a quick,easy road to fame and riches.

F.Therefore,they had little opportunity to show their individual personalities.

G.Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.

This time,Luigi drew a portrait of Ayden with his parents—Luigi’s son and daughter-in-law—gazing 　44　 at him.“It was my way of making sure they’d always be together,” he said. 

　45　 five months in intensive care(特别护理),Ayden pulled through.Inspired by the good news,Luigi set up a web page,Priceless Images,　46　 he offered to draw portraits of other kids who were sick or had died.“I thought my work might offer 　47　,” he said.

Dear Tom, 

Here comes a piece of good news.Chinese Winter Camp,which is intended for international students,is going to be held in our school this winter vacation.Since you are obsessed with Chinese culture,I’d like to invite you to join it. 

The Camp is scheduled to last 11 days,from December 18 to December 28.It covers a wide variety of cultural activities,ranging from studying Chinese daily expressions to attending some lectures on Chinese history and traditional culture.As we all know,language is closely related to culture,so I’m convinced that you can dig out Chinese cultural features from language study.In addition,the Camp provides a chance for you to visit some famous museums,which is the best way to learn about the country.

If you want to be part of it,please sign up for it before December 2 at our school website.Looking forward to your early reply.

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。续写词数应为150左右。

The family had just moved to Rhode Island,and the young woman was feeling a little sad on that Sunday in May.After all,it was Mother’s Day—and 800 miles separated her from her parents in Ohio.

She had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy Mother’s Day,and her mother had mentioned how colourful the yard was now that spring had arrived.As they talked,the younger woman could almost smell the fragrance (香味) of purple lilacs (紫丁香) hanging on the big bush outside her parents’ back door.

Later,when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs,he popped up from his chair.“I know where we can find all you want,”he said.

So off they went,driving the country roads of northern Rhode Island on the kind of day only mid-May can produce:warm sunshine,unclouded blue skies and vibrant(充满生机的) newness of the green growing all around.

Before they got halfway up the hill,the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them,and the kids started running.Soon,the mother began running,too,until she reached the top.With a smile,the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers,drinking in the fragrance and the memories it brought back.Carefully,she chose a sprig (小枝) here,another one there.Finally,though,they returned to their car for the trip home.While the kids chattered and the man drove,the woman sat smiling,surrounded by her flowers,a faraway look in her eyes.

When they were within three miles of home,she suddenly shouted to her husband,“Stop the car.Stop right here!”The man slammed on the brakes (刹车).Before he could ask her why she wanted to stop,the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope (斜坡) with the lilacs still in her arms.

At the top of the hill was a nursing home and,because it was such a beautiful spring day,the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.Among them was an elderly lady,sitting in her wheelchair alone,head bowed,her back to most of the others.

Theyoungwomanwentdirectlytoher,holdingtheflowerstightly.Across the porch railing went the flowers,onto the lap of the old woman.She lifted her head slowly,eyes wide with confusion.The young woman bent down,holding her hands gently and said,“Happy Mother’s Day! They are flowers from a daughter.” The old lady’s eyes narrowed in delight,her face lit up with a smile.The two women chatted like old friends for a while and then the young woman ran back to her family.

“Mum,whowasthatlady?”thekidsaskedasthecarpulledaway.“I don’t know.”“But why did you give all your favourite flowers to her?” The kids protested.“It’s Mother’s Day today,but she seemed alone.After all,who wouldn’t be cheered up by flowers?” The mother explained patiently,holding the kids tightly in her arms,“I have all of you,and I still have my mother,even if she is far away.That woman needs those flowers more than I do.” The kids seemed to have understood the true meaning of lilacs,the rich fragrance of which would always permeate around them.
