and designers both create visual works using a(n)_1_ knowledge background，but their reasons for doing so are _2_ different.Some designers consider themselves artists，but few artists consider themselves _3_.So what exactly is the difference between art and design？Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their _4_.Typically，the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing，a blank sheet of paper.A _5_ of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself.They create the art to share that feeling with others，to _6_ the viewers to relate to it，learn from it or be _7_ by it.The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest _8_ connection between the artists and their _9_.By contrast，when a designer sets out to _10_ a new piece，he almost always has a _11_ starting point，whether a message，an image，an idea or an action.The designers job isnt to invent something _12_，but to communicate something that already exists，for a purpose.That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something：buy a product，use a _13_，visit a location，or learn certain information.The most _14_ designs are those that most effectively _15_ their messages and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.1A.unique Bseparate Cshared Daccepted 2A.entirely Boccasionally

小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中，选出最佳选项。A Are the British people Europeans？This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians，who tend to think of all white men as Europeans.But the British，when they are in Britain，do not regard themselves as Europeans.The Europeans，to them，are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel，who have never learnt how to speak English.Europe is“the Continent”：a place full of interest for British tourists，but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved.Thus，although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe，yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very，very insular.They feel，and in many ways are，different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them，or even to understand them，in time of need.Where did the British people come from？This is an extraordinary interesting question，since they are a mixture of many different races，and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe.Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century BC.，but there had been at least three invasions before that.The first of these was by a darkhaired Mediterranean race called the Iberians.The other two were by Celtic tribes：first the Gaels，whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish，some of whom still speak the Gaelic language；and second the Britons，who gave their name to the whole island of Britain.These were the people whom the Romans conquered.The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilisation，but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers，so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the“barbarians”，i.e.the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.26The purpose of the passage is to_.Atalk about Europeans Bdiscuss the origin of British people Cargue for the superiority of British people Dcompare the Europeans with Africans and Asians 27It can be known from the passage that_.Amost people think white people are Europeans Bthere are many Africans and Asians living in Europe Cwhite men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and Asians Dthe British people think of themselves as Europeans 28It can be inferred from the passage that_.AEuropeans are those who are unable to speak English Bthose who invaded Britain came from the other side of the English Channel C is a place full of interest for those excitable foreigners DBritain is the source of almost all the wars in Europe 29Why do the British people feel very insular?AThey are different from those people in the continent.BThey sometimes fail to support the continental countries in time of need.CThey are separated geographically from the continent.DThey are considered very difficult to understand.30Which of the following might be discussed after this passage?AThe Germanic tribes which invaded.BThe civilisation the Romans gave.CThe Romans who did not settle in.DThe survival of the British people in the first century BC.B As a seal rests on ice floating on the Antarctic Ocean，it should feel safe.But it is about to become a victim of a group of killer whales who have developed a great skill to catch seals.The killer whales work together as a group to create large waves that wash seals off the ice.Scientists who have discovered the technique，which has only been seen in killer whales hunting in the pack ice of the Antarctic，say it is so effective that it produces a meal for the whales three out of every four times they use it.Dr Robert Pitman，a marine scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in California，said，“The killer whales were very good at knowing in advance if they were going to be able to wash a seal off a piece of ice and they were always successful in getting the seal into the water.Sometimes the seal was washed off but managed to flee.However，it was not very often.”Dr Pitman and his colleague Dr John Durban helped BBC capture the wavewashing behaviour on camera.By swimming in formation(队列)towards the ice from as far away as 150 feet，the whales created a bow wave in front of their bodies.When they reached the block of ice where the seal was hiding，they dove under the ice，kicking their tails in a powerful stroke(击)to create a large wave that washed over the ice and knocked the seal into the water where they could grab it and drown it.Research has shown that there are at least four types of killer whales living in the Antarctic，all of which have different colour patterns and hunting behaviour，and eat different things.The largest killer whale hunts minke whales in open water while the ice killer whales mainly hunt seals.A third type of killer whale mainly preys on penguins and the fourth dives deep to hunt fish.31According to Paragraph 1，killer whales hunt a seal on a piece of ice by _.Apushing the ice onto the ground Bknocking hard on the ice together Ccreating large waves to wash it off the ice Dfollowing it all the time until it swims in the sea 32It is implied in the passage that _.Akiller whales often stay hungry Bkiller whales usually hunt alone Ccompetition among killer whales is very fierce Dkiller whales are very good at hunting seals at sea 33What does the underlined word“flee”in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?AMove.BEscape.CStruggle.DFight.34What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?AHow Dr Pitman and his colleague work.BHow killer whales find seals.CHow killer whales hunt seals.DHow killer whales eat a seal.35We can know from the last paragraph that _.Aice killer whales show interest in most sea animals Bdifferent types of killer whales usually prey on different things Cthe killer whales that hunt penguins are the smallest killer whales Dit is hard to tell the differences among the four types of killer whales C Australia，with the Pacific Ocean to the east and the Indian Ocean to the west，is a very large country，while its population is very small.Another interesting fact is that one out of five Australians was not born in Australia.Most of the population is in the southeast part.Three out of every five people live in five big cities.Sydney is the biggest city with the population of 3 million.Melbourne in Victoria has a population of about 3 million.Brisbane，Adelaide and Perth each has about one million.All of these cities，except Perth，which faces the Indian Ocean，are in the east and southeast of the country.The capital city of Australia，Canberra，is not very big.Only about a quarter of a million live there.Hobart in Tasmania，which is to the south of the mainland of Australia，is even smaller and Darwin，the capital of Northern Territory，is a very small city.It has a population of under 40,000.36What is the population of Australia according to this passage?AAbout 3,000,000.BAbout 15,000,000.CAbout 30,000,000.DAbout 45,000,000.37Over _ of the population of Australia live in the east and southeast part.A1/2 B1/3 C1/4 D2/3 38Which of the following cities has the second largest population?ACanberra.BMelbourne.CVictoria.DSydney.39Which of the following maps shows the right positions of Canberra，Perth，Hobart and Darwin?(CCanberra；PPerth；HHobart；DDarwin)40The passage is mainly about _.Athe big cities of Australia Bthe area of Australia Cthe history of Australia Dthe distribution of Australias population D Ocean Park Hong Kong is a theme park in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island.The park was built with donations from the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club(now Hong Kong Jockey Club)and opened on 10 January,1977.The park is operated by Ocean Park Corporation，which is a statutory(法定的)department.It offers affordable marine animal education and entertainment and is a private organization for commercial purposes.In the early operation of the park，the main sources of income for the park were the tickets and the funding from the Jockey Club.Since the ticket price was low，most of the time Ocean Park was operating under deficit(财政赤字)On 1 July,1987，the government established a 200 million trust from the funding of Jockey Club，under the Ocean Park Corporation Ordinance.This separated Ocean Park from Jockey Club and became a nonprofit organization；it needed to be responsible for its own income and was allowed to use commercial means to operate the park.Since it was permitted to use commercial means to operate，it gradually raised its ticket price and the deficit turned into profit.In 1992,3 million visitors visited the park.Since 1998，the East Asian financial crisis(金融危机)and the passing away of the killer whale，the park recorded a deficit for a couple of years.Although it was allowed to host 2 pandas in 1999，the number of visitors did not go up and Ocean Park was forced to close its water attractions and the Old Village attraction and turned to bring in more rides in an attempt to capture the youth demand.Together with the opening up of mainland visitors under the Individual Visit Scheme，Ocean Park recorded an astonishing 4 million visitors in the year 20042005，the highest since the park opened.In March 2005，Ocean Park made its redevelopment plan.On 23 November,2006，Ocean Park held a groundbreaking ceremony for its redevelopment.41Ocean Park Hong Kong _.Awas built with the money from the government Bneeded to be responsible for its own income at the beginning Cwas a great success once it was opened Dmainly got income from the tickets and donations at the beginning 42According to the passage，Ocean Park Corporation _.Abelongs to the Jockey Club Bis an official organization Cis a nonprofit organization Dcannot use commercial means to operate 43How many deficits has the Ocean Park experienced so far?A1.B2.C3.D4.44Ocean Park Corporation took all of the measures to overcome the deficits EXCEPT _.Araising ticket price Bhosting a new killer whale Ctrying to attract young customers Dhosting 2 pandas 45Which of the following statements is NOT true?AOcean Park Hong Kong is a theme park.BOcean Park Hong Kong made its redevelopment plan in March,2005.CThe East Asian financial crisis didnt have any influence on Ocean Park.DAt present，Ocean Park Hong Kong attracts many mainland visitors.第二节 信息匹配(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
