And how should you invest in art? “With extreme 41 ” is the advice of Patrick Connolly, a financial adviser. “We don’t 42 our customers to invest in art because the downsides are greater than the upsides. It doesnt produce income or earnings. What you 43 is exclusively based on supply and demand, and there are big movements upwards or downwards if there are changes in the economic environment,” he said. To invest in art as a true investment, you need a starting fund of at least $5,000. But it’s not just about having enough 44 to buy the painting in the first place. Expensive works of art are often stored in protective boxes complete with detectors to monitor humidity and temperature levels, and to protect them from sun damage or other 45 such as a spilled cup of coffee. And if you do put it on your wall, then your insurance costs are likely to be high. If word gets out that you have expensive art hanging on your wall, then youre likely to be a 46 for thieves. Art is also not a regulated investment so when things go wrong – for example, an artwork turns out to be a fraud （赝品）– then investors cannot fall back on 47 for any repayment. Of course given the current environment of low interest rates, thats still a(n) 48 return than many savings accounts will give you. As art has no association to the stock market, it means paintings can 49 in value even when the market crashes, making it a good option for investment 50 . It is reported that after a decrease in the global art market throughout 2016, auction（拍卖） sales 51 in the first six months of 2017. Yet you dont necessarily have to be super-wealthy to invest in art. There are a growing number of art fairs and online marketplaces aimed at buyers with a more 52 budget. Most art industry experts suggest that you buy a piece of art because you like it, not because you want to get rich. The most 53 approach is probably to buy something you like and can 54 and, be prepared to keep it just for your own pleasure. If it goes up in value that should be just a(n) 55 benefit. 41. A. accuracy B. carefulness C. enthusiasm D. generosity 42. A. beg B. control C. forbid D. recommend 43. A. get back B. look into C. take out D. turn to 44. A. desire B. energy C. money D. time 45. A. accidents B. appliances C. measures D. drinks 46. A. partner B. spectator C. target D. therapy 47. A. initiative B. regulation C. strategy D. tradition 48. A. better B. earlier C. healthier D. lower 49. A. fall apart B. fall down C. go ahead D. go up 50. A. funds B. levels C. selections D. rates 51. A. ceased B. proceeded C. recovered D. shrank 52. A. fixed B. limited C. massive D. modest 53. A. creative B. direct C. flexible D. sensible 54. A. afford B. preserve C. transfer D. undertake 55. A. added B. maximum C. obvious D. social Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. ( A ) Post-00s is a documentary about growing up. It covers almost every aspect of millennials’ experiences on their path toward adolescence – their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme. Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “characters” grow older for real, and their stories are all real. “Coming-of-age” stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we truly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writing of the script （剧本） and there’s no turning back – this is real life. This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr – played by US actor Ellar Coltrane – from when he was 6 to when he finished high school. One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some child genius... He is a quietly spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games. While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary – the power of life itself. 56. In the documentary, we see post-00’s growing experience EXCEPT __________. A. how they deal with their studies B. how they help look after brothers or sisters C. how they get along with people of their age D. how much they long to be independent of their parents 57. What do Post-00 and Boyhood have in common? A. They’re intended to win an award for best director. B. The heroes and heroines are characters themselves. C. They’re a kind of reality show of ordinary kids’ growth. D. The stories are based on true life but polished by writers. 58. Audience are interested in “coming-of-age” stories because __________. A. they can see the truth of life B. they know the characters well C. they are much fond of gossip D. they appreciate stories of daily life 59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Post-00s are different geniuses B. Actors are ordinary characters C. Documentary is real life D. Life is one big story ( B ) B B C SHOP Entertaining. Informing. Inspiring. WHAT A RELIEF! Delight everyone on your holiday gift list with great gifts from the BBC.
