The Louvre, Paris, France It is the world's largest and most visited art museum and a historical landmark of Paris. Housed in the Louvre Palace, the museum has been added to many times since its opening in 1793. Its glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Chinese American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, and it later became a signature design of the museum, appearing in the hit thriller The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou. National Museum of China, Beijing, China Near Tiananmen Square in Beijing, it's one of the largest museums in the world and the second­most visited art museum in the world, just after the Louvre.

At first, I believed that writing would still be my worst class. Gradually, my fondness increased. She taught the lesson in such a lively way and her word choice impressed me. But that was not what made her my favorite. Unlike other teachers, after instructions, she gave an enormous amount of freedom in what we wrote, allowing us to create our own stories using our imagination. And that mattered most.There was one really revolutionary event: the historical fiction unit. We were to invent out own stories using the period we were given. World War was mine. At that point, I was just looking for a good grade. Rather than creating a mundane story, I wanted to make a story that I felt was meaningful. As I progressed, I was pulled further and further into the reality that I had made. Grammar no longer existed, as my hands gained acceleration. When I typed the final word, my hands trembled with excitement. Briefly, I read it over and then submitted the draft.In the midst of anxiousness, Mrs Kelley responded. She pointed out some mistakes and gave some suggestions. Sadly, there were no comments of recognition. I fixed the errors and moved on. But when waiting for the final grade, I erased all the unrealistic thoughts that wandered in my mind.In the next class, surprisingly, after handing back my paper, Mrs Kelley mentioned that my story was very good. I looked at her in confusion. Soon excitement stirred inside me. I found a“5” attached to the score. She had given an extra point in “Plot” , adding an “Excellent！” No other teacher had done this. On that day, I felt what it means to be a writer. Mrs Kelley introduced me to the beauty of literature and made writing so enjoyable.24What made Mrs Kelley so special according to the author?AHer patience and kindness. BHer confidence in students.CHer creative teaching style. DHer professional knowledge.25How did the author feel when Mrs Kelley responded at first?AExcited. BWorried. CSurprised. DDisappointed.26What does the underlined word “mundane” in the second paragraph mean?ADull. BInteresting. CSpecial. DUnusual.27What was the biggest benefit the author got from Mrs Kelley's class?ARecognizing his talent. BFinding the joy of writing.CDetermining his lifetime career. DAcquiring practical writing skills.CDo you know sand has been used to draw pictures since ancient times? Today, sandpainting, an interesting art, will be introduced to you.Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture, then we brushed glue (胶水) to the section, and at last we poured coloured sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed. Unfixed sandpainting has a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary (临时的). Different people draw sandpaintings to express different meanings: love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty.Nowadays, sandpainting becomes a performance art and its popularity has­risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images (图像) by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story. Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her “The Lady of the Sand” Simonova said that she never dreamed she'd become a sand artist, and when she began practising, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered,_caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the solider is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry. Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people. Art of painting is in our life, even in the sand.28which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sandpainting?AGlue. BA printed picture. CColoured paper. DWater.29What do we know about Simonova?AShe is the best painter in the world. BBeing a sand artist is her biggest dream.CShe once gave up performing for her family. DHer performances are popular with people.30What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?AHow sandpainting is becoming popular. BWhy sandpainting is becoming popular.CHow an image is created in the sand. DWhat sandpainting tries to express.31The underlined word “persevered” can be replaced by “_”Aset off Bgave out Cheld on Dended upD If asked whether space exploration (探索) should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favour of continuing or in favour of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone ignorant of the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense? One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry. Another benefit of continuing space exploration is the many spinoff technologies (衍生技术) it provides. The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle. There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the negative aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.32How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?ABy listing data. BBy offering analyses.CBy giving some examples. DBy presenting research findings.33What is the function of Jaws of Life?ATo save people from traffic accidents. BTo do experiments on the space shuttle.CTo keep houses warm and energy efficient. DTo separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets.34What does the author think of space exploration?AIt has changed our life completely. BIt costs too much money.CIt has nothing to do with us. DIt benefits us in many ways.35What would be the best title for the text?ABenefits of Space Exploration BIs Space Exploration Worth the Cost?CHow to Make Space Exploration Affordable? DMissions of the NASA Space Shuttle Programme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。Every year in Australia, the strongest long­distance runners race more than 500 miles from Sydney to Melbourne. The race takes more than five days to complete. It attracts world­class athletesthe kind who become spokespeople for sports shoes and drinks. In 1983, however, as the competitors lined up to race, they were joined by a 61­year­old farmer wearing overalls (工作服). _36_The other runners thought he was a confused spectator (观众). Cliff told them that he was there to race. He explained that on his family's sheep farm, he often had to round up 2,000 or so animals by himself. Cliff said, “_37_” When the race began, the younger runners flew past Cliff. Instead of trying to catch them, Cliff shuffled (拖着脚走) along in an unusual way. _38_But something happened.

But finally Cliff was too far ahead to be passed. _39_ Cliff received$10,000 for winning the race. He said he did not realize there would be prize money, and he gave the money to his fellow runners.
