This year marks the 170th anniversary of Paul Gauguin's birth. He lived for just 54 years but
he packed his brief life with activity.
The French painter spent his early childhood in Peru before returning to France. As an adult, he
continued to travel a lot. Most famously, he spent much of the last decade of his life in Tahiti, an
island in southern Pacific Ocean. Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of
Tahitians and their culture.
The restlessness of this great painter has been normal among modern artists since the middle of
the 19th century. They're never satisfied for long with a certain style or way of life. Once something
becomes conventional, it's turned down.
The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism (印象派). Painters
like Claude Monet had wanted to paint how they saw the world, not how their teachers taught them
it should be seen. Gauguin, and similar artists like his friend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further
away from "respectable" art than the Impressionists. For them, it was not simply a matter of seeing
the world differently, but feeling and thinking about it differently, too.
Gauguin saw, felt and thought differently from most members of European society. He thought that European culture was too fancy and not spontaneous. This is why he turned to the traditions of
other parts of the world, like Africa, and, eventually, Tahiti. Artists like Gauguin used the word
"primitive" for these cultures, but not as a negative term. For him, Europe, in becoming modern ,
industrial and scientific, seemed less natural than other parts of the world.
In truth, Gauguin's paintings may be unconventional but they are certainly not "primitive". They
are the work of a painter with great awareness of what he was doing. It was this awareness that made
him such an important painter for those that came after, in the 20th century. When we look closely at
the works of Gauguin we begin to understand Pablo Picasso, and especially Henri Matisse, a little
better.
4. What can we infer about Gauguin's life ?
A. He had an unhappy childhood. B. He lived most of his life in Peru.
C. He enjoyed painting in Tahiti. D. He preferred a traditional life style.
5. What's the main purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To explain why Gauguin's works were popular.
B. To point out where Gauguin's inspiration came from.
C. To show Gauguin's different understanding of painting.
D. To compare Gauguin's painting style with Vincent van Gogh's.
6. Which of the following best explains "spontaneous" underlined in Paragraph 5?
A. Natural B. Modern C. Industrial D. Scientific
7. The author mentions Picasso and Matisse in the last paragraph to show ________.
A. their styles are different from Gauguin's B. great artists share many similarities
C. they are as important as Gauguin D. Gauguin's influence on their works
C
Although toys' packaging says it's' educational , it doesn't make it so. That's the finding from a
new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in
the way of learning.
Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they
need to hear it -- lots of it. And it's' never too early for parents and to caregivers to get talking. That
explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language.
Professor Anna Sosa, of Northern Arizona University, led the study and says she gave families three different kinds of toys to play with: books, traditional toys like humble blocks and a shape
sorter, and electronic toys. Sosa says she picked those toys because they are advertised in their
packaging as language-promoters for babies between the ages of 10 and 16 months.
"We had a talking on farm-animal names and things," Sosa says of the electronic toys. "We had
a baby cell phone. And we had a baby laptop. So you open the cover and start pushing buttons, and it
tells you things. The parent-child couples were asked to play separately with each type of toy over
the course of three days."
"When there's something else that's doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the
sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for them, "Sosa says. "That's bad because the
best way a toy can promote language in infants and toddlers is by stimulating interaction between
parent and child. There's simply no evidence that a young child can learn language directly from a
toy. It isn't responsive enough. It isn't social."
As for the other toys, traditional blocks and puzzles stimulated more conversation than the
electronic toys, and books outscored them all. But don't underestimate the humble block. While
traditional toys fell short of books in interaction quantity, Sosa notes, they kept pace in terms of
quality.
8. What is the finding of the research led by Professor Anna Sosa?
A. Toy industry is facing new challenge in marketing.
B. Kids should be taught to learn with toys as early as possible.
C. People might be misled by the statements of some toy makers.
D. Parents need to be cautious when choosing toys for their kids.
9. According to the passage, why are talking electronic toys so popular?
A. Because they represent the latest creations.
B. Because they arouse the interest learning.
C. Because they are used as an educational tool.
D. Because they are easy for the kids to control.
10. We can infer from the passage that it is necessary for the parents ______________.
A. to share their experiences of reading with their kids
B. to spare more time to stay with their kids at home
C. to encourage their kids to attend social activitiesD. to get involved in the conversations on with their kids
11. What is the author's attitude to electronic toys as language promoters?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
D
You can relax if remembering everything isn't your strong suit. Recent research makes the
case that being forgetful can be a strength--in fact selective memory can even be a sign of stronger
intelligence.
Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything.
But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of
forgetting 10 02001U0 can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to
remember.
Making intelligent decisions doesn't mean you need to have all the information at hand. It just
means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in
your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this
by creating new neurons(神经元) in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写)
existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.
If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brains' learning region, try exercising.
Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the
number of neurons making important connections in our brains.
When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs, the brain is making a
choice that these details don't matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern,
the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found
that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant
past details. Instead, the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.
We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail.
These findings show us that total recall can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when
they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.
12. How can we help our brains produce more neurons?
A. By having deep sleep frequently.
B. By practicing swimming regularly.C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.
D. By learning new skills constantly.
13. Which of the following can best replace "facilitate" underlined in Paragraph 5?
A. Postpone. B. Repeat. C. Promote. D. Abuse.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?
A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.
B. Decisions can't be made without memories.
C. We shouldn't stress total recall too much.
D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Caution: do remember to forget.
B. Why and how people choose to forget.
C. Want to become smarter? Learn to forget
D. Being forgetful might mean you are smarter
第二节：（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
The first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. 16 But
the British Isles only became islands separated from the rest of Europe about 8, 500 years ago, when
melting ice formed the English Channel!
3,000 years after Britain became an island, new tribes who came by boat from the mainland
introduced farming. 17 Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.
Later on, people learned to build stone monuments. The most amazing is Stonehenge, a circle
of huge stones begun about 4,500 years ago. Stonehenge is the world's most famous prehistoric
monument. 18
3,000 years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before. 19 A bit
later iron started to be used for tools and weapons instead of bronze. Knowledge of ironworking may
have been brought by the Celts, a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern
Europe in about 500 BC.
What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from the
remains they left behind them. Pytheas, a Greek, was the first person who could read and write to
come to Britain. His visit was in about 330 BC, over 2, 000 years after Stonehenge was begun. Unfortunately, what Pytheas wrote has been lost, so we don't have any written record of Britain until
the Romans came. 20
A. That was almost 300 years after he did!
B. As a result, people had to move down from high ground.
C. Because of the climate change, much of the ice has melted.
D. Many archaeologists believe that Britain was once covered by ice.
E. These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead bodies.
F. They were hunters and gatherers of food, who used stone tools and weapons.
G. We don't know what it was used for, though many different suggestions have been made.

feathers. I 36 into the house with a big smile just in time for dinner. Then I ended my
adventure with a good night’s sleep.
I remembered this recently when I saw a 37 that said, “All roads lead home”. This is
true. I also remembered a sage (圣人) compared life to a journey. Are we going to make this life a
terrible 38 or are we going to make the life a joyful one? It 39 our own choice.All road no matter how they twist and turn, can 40 us home in our hearts. May you
