DTraditional.【解析】推理判断题。由第一段中的“The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings,sculptures,drawings and more.”可知,巴黎蓬皮杜艺术中心的展览汇集了达利200多件油画、雕塑、绘画等作品,由此可以推断出他是一个多产的(productive)艺术家。对于他的“乐观”、“慷慨”和“传统”,文中没有信息句支持。故选项B正确。【答案】B5What is Dalis The Persistence of Memory considered to be?AOne of his masterworks.BA successful screen adaptation.CAn artistic creation for the stage.DOne of the best TV programmes.【解析】细节理解题。由第一段中的“Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces,most importantly The Persistence of Memory.”可知,“The Persistence of Memory”是达利最优秀的作品之一,即杰作之一。”故选项A正确。根据第一段最后一句“.works on paper,objects,and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artists showman qualities.”可知是其他作品与 stage,screen,television programmes有关,而不是 The Persistence of Memory这部作品,故排除B、C、D三项。【答案】A6How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?ABy popularity.BBy importance.CBy size and shape.DBy time and subject.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.”可知,达利的作品展览是按照时间和主题组织的。对于按照“流行度”“重要性”“尺寸和形状”等这样的形式,文中并无信息支持。故选项D正确。【答案】D7What does the word “contributions”in the last paragraph refer to?AArtworks. BProjects.CDonations.

Within a few days,she sold nine copies a day of My Blood Approves.By May she had posted two further books in the series,Fate and Flutter,and sold 624 copies.In July she posted Switched.It brought in more than $6,000 that month alone,and in August she quit her day job as a career for disabled children.Over the past two years,Hocking has sold 1.5 million books and made $2.5 million all by herself.Not a single publishing house was in sight.Amanda Hocking did get to Chicago to see the Muppets.And along the way she helps to set off a revolution in global publishing.Now she is considered as a pioneer of the selfpublishing revolution,where direct contact between author and reader is but a few clicks away.【语篇解读】本文介绍了自我出版革命中的领军人物,美国网络作家、出版家Amanda Hocking女士。8How was her family when Amanda Hocking was a child?AWealthy.

When the kids came home, she moved the typewriter and made them dinner. When they went to bed, she moved it back and typed some more. For two years, Debbie followed this routine. Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.One night, however, her husband, said to her, “Honey, Im sorry, but youre not bringing in any income. We cant do this anymore. We cant survive on just what I make.”That night, her heart was broken and her mind was too busy to let her sleep. She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom. Debbie knewwith all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kidsthat working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.Seeing her despair, her husband woke up and asked, “Whats wrong?”“I really think I could have made it as a writer, I really do.”Wayne was silent for a long time, and then said, “All right, honey, go for it.”So Debbie returned to her dream and her typewriter on the kitchen table, pounding out page after page for another two years. Her family went without vacations, pinched pennies, and wore handmedowns.But the sacrifice and the persistence finally paid off. After five years of struggling, Debbie sold her first book. Then another. And another. Until finally, today, Debbie has published more than 100 books, three of which have been sold for movies. Over 60 million copies are in print, and she has millions of loyal fans.And Wayne? All that sacrifice in support of his wife paid off handsomely. He got to retire at age 50 and now spends his time building an airplane in the basement of their 7,000 squarefoot mansion.Debbies kids got a gift far more important than a few summer camps. As adults, they realize what Debbie gave them was far more importantpermission and encouragement to pursue their own dreams.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了Debbie Macomber坚持不懈追逐自己的梦想,最后取得成功的故事。12As a mother of four kids, when did Debbie do her writing in the beginning?ABefore the kids went to school.BAfter all the kids went to bed.CAfter she finished some necessary housework.DBefore cooking meals every day.【解析】事实细节题。根据第一段可知,在做完一些必做的家务后,她基本上把全部的时间都用到了写作上,故C项符合题意。其余选项内容片面。【答案】C13Her husband asked her to give up writing because .Ahe wanted her to do more housework rather than just writeBshe couldnt earn any money and it was hard for them to make ends meetChe wanted her to find a betterpaid job that interested herDhe thought keeping up a house was a wifes responsibility【解析】事实细节题。根据第二段可知她的丈夫感到自己一个人挣钱实在难以应付家庭的开支,希望她能放弃写作,去挣钱分担家庭的负担,故B项符合题意。【答案】B14Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?ADebbie spent 40 hours in writing a week before she succeeded as a writer.BDebbies family often went out on vacations without her.CDebbies husband gave up his own job to support her writing.DDebbies success has brought her lots of money.【解析】事实细节题。根据倒数第二、三段可知,Debbie作为一个职业作家获得了巨大的成功,改善了家人的生活条件,故D项符合文意。【答案】D15We can infer from the last paragraph that .AWayne doesnt benefit from her wifes successBDebbie has great influence on her childrens going after their dreamsCDebbies kids all realized their dreams as adultsDDebbie is a failure as a mother while she is a success as a writer【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,Debbie支持鼓励她的孩子追求梦想,给了孩子们比野营更重要的礼物,Debbie对她的孩子追求梦想有着极大的影响,故B项正确。【答案】B.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 16 However,it is possible to prevent stress as well as reducing its effect when it cant be avoided.The following are ways to deal with stress. 17 Running,walking,playing tennis,and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.You should make every effort to get enough rest and eat well.If you easily get angry and cant sleep well enough,or if youre not eating properly,it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. 18 Schedule time for both work and entertainment.Dont forget play can be just as important to your health as work. 19 Go windowshopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at least half an hour each day to do something you enjoy.Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that“theres so much to do,and not enough time”Make a list of everything you have to do. 20 Remember: do one thing at a time,and check off each task as it is completed.AIf stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping,you should see a doctor.BYoud better get into good living habits.CYou need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.DIt is impossible to live completely free of stress.ESet out to do the most important task first.FTrying releasing the pressure through exercise is probably a good choice.GStress can influence peoples thoughts and feelings.【答案】1620DFACE.完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)There once was a poor and frustrated salesman complaining every day that there was no platform for him to display his ability and the fate was often pulling his legs.On Christmas Eve,every family 21 their house with lanterns and it was very 22 everywhere.But he was 23 in a park,drinking his Christmas day away,without new clothes,new shoes, 24 a new car and a new house.“Damn!I have to spend this Christmas day with these 25 shoes again,”he 26 and began to take off the old shoes.Suddenly,he glanced at a young man in a 27 passing by him with his hands arduously 28 the wheels forward.It dawned on him that he was so 29 to have shoes to wear 30 that man did not even have the chance.Afterwards,the salesman did anything 31 and cherished every opportunity to 32 himself.He worked hard and tried his best to make progress every day.Several years later,he eventually succeeded in 33 and became a millionaire.If you look all around,youll find there are so many people who were born disabled but they are 34 in life and never complain about the 35 destiny(命运)They are also not to 36 others sympathy.Instead,they constantly 37 to make themselves stronger and better to serve the society.By contrast,we should feel 38 .We are born healthy,but we are fed up with life.We a
