D.visit all the branches of the museum B James Watt was an English boy.He was very clever and liked to ask questions.One day,the boy was sitting in his grandmothers kitchen.Above the fire an old-fashioned teakettle was hanging.The water within it was beginning to bubble.A thin cloud of steam was rising from the spout(壶嘴）。Soon the lid(盖子）began to rattle and shake.The hot vapor puffed（冒出）out at a fast rate.Yet when the boy glanced under the lid he could see nothing.Grandma,whats in the kettle?little Watt asked.Water,my child-nothing but water.his grandma answered.But I know there is something else.There is something under the lid and makes it rattle.Grandmother laughed.Oh,that is only steam,she said.You can see it coming out of the spout and puffing up under the lid.But you said there was nothing but water in the kettle.How did the steam get under the lid?Why,my dear,it comes out of the hot water.The hot water makes it.”James lifted the lid and glanced inside again.He could see nothing but the bubbling water.The steam was not visible until it was fairly out of the kettle.How strange!he said.The steam must be very strong to lift the heavy iron lid.Grandma,how much water did you put into the kettle?About a quart,James.Well,if the steam from so little water is so strong,why would not the steam from a great deal of water be a great deal stronger?Why couldnt it be made to lift a much greater weight?Why couldnt it be m ade to turn wheels?”Grandmother made no reply.These questions were more puzzling than profitable,she thought.She went about her work silently,and James sat still in his place and studied the teakettle.So many years later,James Watt tried hard to make steam work for people.Finally he became very famous because he invented the first steam engine.24.What can we conclude from the passage?A.The steam comes from the hot water but can not be seen.B.The grandmother laughed because James Watt was stupid.C.The boiled water in the kettle made the lid rattle and shake.D.The more water there is,the more powerful the steam will be.25.Why didnt the grandmother reply to Watts questions?A.Because she desired to work silently.B.Because she was very busy at that time.C.Because she was tired of these questions.D.Because she found them difficult to answer.26.James Watt can be described as A.clever but stubborn B.smart and observant C.determined but rigid D.hardworking and cautious 27.What is the main idea of the passage?A.James Watt was inspired by the power of steam.B.James Watt always made his grandmother puzzled.C.James Watt made great contributions to our society.D.James Watt liked to ask questions when he was young.C Growing up,we are constantly reminded that young people are heavily affected by technology.We are theantisocial club”，those who prefer to text our friends in the same room rather than make eye contact with them.And even though never-ending studies reveal to us the extent of our social media addiction,we should at least consider that its not only our young peoples problem any more.Theres the rise of the Instagram mums,who like to post an abundance of cute baby pictures,share their mom feelings along the way and show their wonderful lifestyles.They are the so-called“Facebook mum generation”，a growing group of parents that like to overshare.While all of this might be fine,and even a little humorous,new research suggests that parents technology addiction is negatively affecting their childrens behavior.According to the study,40%of mothers and 32%of fathers have admitted having some sort of phone addiction.This has led to a significant fall in verbal interactions within families and even a decline in mothers encouraging their children.There is no denying that I get annoyed when receiving the words“Ill be with you soon”from a parent,when all I want to do is ask one question.But,at the same time,every day leaving the room to wait until my father is finished with hisserious business”（Farmville),has now become the norm.Whether you want to escape your disturbing children for a bit,or want to stay up late flicking through Twitter,know that wanting to do all of these is normal.We-your children-know how addictive it can be and how difficult it is to switch off.But before telling us to put our phones away at the table or even worse,listing statistics of how damaging social media can be for us,maybe lead by example,considering how much time you spend on the phone and how this is impacting your children and your relationship with us.Maybe in this way we can work on our addiction together.28.From Paragraph 1,we can know that teenagers nowadays_.A.enjoy socializing with their friends B.send messages to their friends every day C.hate to make eye contact with their friends D.are heavily addicted to their mobile phones 29.What does the author think of mums oversharing?A.Boring.B.Funny.C.Selfish.D.Meaningful.30.The underlined wordnorm”in Paragraph 4 probably means A.discipline B.standard C.routine D.custom 31.Whats the main purpose of the article?A.To share the authors own experience with the readers.B.To call on parents to get rid of their own media addiction.C.To reveal that parents are always addicted to mobile phones.D.To show the authors dissatisfaction with parents phone use.D Claude Monet was born in Paris,France,on November 14,1840.By the time he was fifteen,Monet had become popular as a caricaturist.Through an exhibition of his drawings at a local frame shop in 1858,Monet met Eugene Boudin,a landscape painter.Boudin introduced Monet to outdoor painting,an activity that soon became his lifes work.Monet was interested in natural light,atmosphere,and color,and recorded them in his paintings as accurately as possible.A striking example of his early style was the Terrace at St.Adresse,which contained a shining mixture of bright,natural colors.Monet exhibited regularly in the group shows.His painting Impression:Sunrise inspired a newspaper critic Louis Leroy to call all of the artists in the groupimpressionists,and the name stuck.Monet gradually gained critical and financial success during the late 1880s and the 1890s.This was due to the efforts of Durand-Ruel,who sponsored one-man exhibitions of Monets work.During the 1890s he devoted his energy to paintings of haystacks.In these works Monet painted his subjects from the same physical position,allowing only the light and weather conditions to vary from picture to picture.By 1899 he began to work on his famous paintings of the water lilies in his garden at Giverny,France.Monets late years were very difficult.His health declined rapidly,and he was almost blind.Besides,he struggled with the problems of his art.In 1920 he began to work on twelve large canvases of water lilies,which he planned to give to his country.To complete them,he fought against his own failing eyesight and the fact that he had no experience in creating large-scale mural art.In fact,the task required him to learn a new kind of painting at the age of eighty.The painting was characterized by a broad,sweeping style and depended almost entirely on color.Monet died on December 5,1926,at his home.He once wrote,My only merit(优点）lies in having painted directly in front of nature,seeking to express my impressions of the fleeting effects.Most art historians believe that Monet accomplished much more than this.He helped change the world of painting by shaking off the convention of the past.By dissolving forms in his works,Monet opened the door for further abstraction in art and influenced such later artists as Jackson Pollack,Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning.32.Who helped Monet find his lifes work?A.Eugene Boudin.B.Durand-Ruel.C.Louis Leroy.D.Mark Rothko.33.What can we infer from the passage?A.Monet tended to paint haystacks from different positions.B.The painting Terrace at St.Adresse reflects Monet s late style.C.The nameimpressionistoriginated from Impression:Sunrise.D.Durand-Ruel was so interested in Monet s paintings that he bought a lot.34.What do we know about Monet s late years?A.He failed to learn a new painting skill due to old age.B.Monet made a fortune by selling canvases to his country.C.Monet came across difficulties in creating large-scale mural art.D.Monet committed himself to maintaining traditional painting style.35.What might be the best title of this passage?A.A great artist-Claude Monet B.Claude Monet and Impressionism C.Brilliant achievements of Monet D.The greatest painter in the world 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 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。Why Do Adults Love Animated Movies?You go home from work.You are tired,and want to sit in front of the TV,watching something fun.Your children want the same.What is better than an animated film?Both children and most adults love animation.Of course,there are animated movies that are directed specially to adults.36 So,why do adults like cartoons so much?They have well-written characters There are plenty of reasons.First and foremost,a lot of them are really good.37 Screenwriters,designers,programmers and musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen.And usually,they succeed.Animated films have well-written characters facing complicated situations.Sometimes the scripts are even better than those in adult films.So,it comes as no surprise that animated films appeal to grown-ups as well.38 Remember the time when you were a child and used to sit in front of the TV enjoying cartoons?Animated films bring out that specific feeling of our childhood.Moreover,they reveal our inner child.By watching an animated movie,we forget the monotony of everyday life and leave our problems behind.We love heroes Almost every cartoon has something to do with the journey of a character.A journey towards adulthood,or towards finding oneself,or succeeding in a quest.39 A hero that overcomes all obstacles trying to find true meaning and happiness in his or her existence?Plenty of times,the characters in animated films are bigger-than-life and thats what we need in order to believe in humans again.They are treats for adults Animated films are made for children,but sometimes filmmakers decide to put something for adults as well:Shrek,for example,has scenes with a sense of humor that is addressed mainly to grown-ups.40 And its a really successful practice.A.They bring out the ch
