Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage
and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities(无限), "From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras," explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
4. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?
A. Optimistic. B. Productive.

B. A successful screen adaptation.
C. An artistic creation for the stage.
D. One of the best TV programmes.
6. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?
A. By popularity. B. By importance.
C. By size and shape. D. By time and subject.

A. Artworks. B. Projects. C. Donations. D. Documents.
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了艺术家萨尔瓦多•达利的作品要在巴黎展出。
5. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory"可知,萨尔瓦多•达利的作品The Persistence of Memory被认为是他的一幅杰作。
6. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的"The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain"可知,达利的世界是按照时间和主题组织作品展览的。
7. A 【解析】词义猜测题。根据最后一段可知,多家博物馆通力合作,共同精选展出作品。文中提到像西班牙马德里的博物馆和圣彼德斯堡的博物馆这样的机构也提供萨尔瓦多•达利的作品参加展览。由此推测,contributions指"作品",故选A。

Nowadays women appear to have a positive image of themselves as safer drivers than men.
In a survey done for insurer MetLife,51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving."Women are on average less aggressive and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents, " the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife,39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them up on one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control, which helps prevent rollover accidents.
Auto safety unavoidably matters to Money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest, advantage in Wyoming
(where they pay 20% less),South Dakota and Washington, D.C., where their insurance costs are 16% lower.
"More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009, compared with just under 4,900 women drivers" according to the study."Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, vs.1.7 deaths for women."
8. According to the study, female drivers _____________.
A. are more aggressive while driving
B. are more interested in auto knowledge
C. are more likely to stick driving laws
D. are more familiar with safety equipment
9. Insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because they _____________.
A. cause more accidents on the road
B. pay more money to the insurance companies
C. take the most part of the insurance clients
D. have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims
10. We can infer from the passage that_____________.
A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than women
B. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insurance
C. more female drivers die every year than male drivers
D. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite gender
11. The writer mainly develops paragraphs by_____________.
A. giving examples B. making comparisons
C. drawing a conclusion D. presenting an argument
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过列举一些数据说明现在女性司机似乎比男性司机开车更加安全。
10. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段可知,女性司机相比男性司机而言驾驶更加安全,故选D。根据第二段中的"Men are 3.4 times more likely...to get a ticket..."可知,A项错误;根据第三段最后一句可知,B项错误;根据最后一段第一句可知,C项错误。
11. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据文中第二至四段中的数据对比可知,作者将女性司机与男性司机进行比较,从而得出女性司机比男性司机更安全的结论,故选B。
D
Anyone who has ever tried to make their way through the center of Amsterdam in a car knows it: the city is owned by cyclists. They hurry in swarms through the streets, unbothered by traffic rules, taking precedence (优先权) whenever they want, rendering motorists powerless by their sheer numbers.
Cyclists rule in Amsterdam and great pains have been taken to accommodate them: the city is equipped with an elaborate network of cycle paths and lanes, so safe and comfortable that even toddlers and elderly people use bikes as the easiest mode of transport. It’s not only Amsterdam which boasts a network of cycle paths, of course; you’ll find them in all Dutch cities.
The Dutch take this for granted; they even tend to believe these cycle paths have existed since the beginning of time. But that is certainly not the case. This was a time in the 1950s and 1960s, when cyclists were under severe threat of being expelled(除名) from Dutch cities by the growing number of cars. Only thanks to fierce activism and a number of decisive events would Amsterdam succeed in becoming what it is, unquestionably, now: the bicycle capital of the world.
12. According to the passage, while cyclists in Amsterdam are crossing a street, ___________.
A. they never feel easy to cross it as there are many cars
B. they ignore traffic rules and follow motorists in swarms
C. they cross it in a large number regardless of traffic rules
D. they feel very nervous and cross it cautiously one after another
13. This passage is most probably taken from ___________.
A. a science fiction
B. a travelling magazine
C. an academic report
D. an instructive brochure
14. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. Almost all people in Amsterdam like riding bicycles.
B. These cycle paths haven’t existed since the beginning of time.
C. Cities in some other countries have also begun to build their own cyclepaths.
D. In 1950s and 1960s, cyclists were in the face of being driven by the growing number of cars.
15. This passage mainly tells us ___________.
A. why the people in Amsterdam rode bicycles
B. when Amsterdam built many cycle paths and lanes
C. how Amsterdam became the bicycle capital of the world
D. what the Amsterdam government has done in the past few years
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。阿姆斯特丹是荷兰最大的城市,你想知道它是怎样成为世界自行车之都的吗?一起来看看吧!
12. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的"They hurry in swarms through ...by their sheer numbers."可知,骑自行车的人无视交通规则,成群地穿过街道。故C项符合题意。
车少,污染小展开的,所以这篇文章可能出自旅游杂志。B项意为"旅游杂志",符合题意。A项意为"科幻小说";C项意为"学术报告";D项意为"指导手册"。故选
B。
14. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句可知,阿姆斯特丹的居民喜欢骑自行车,故A项可以排除;根据第三段第一、二句可知,这些自行车道不是从一开始就存在的,故B项可以排除;根据第三段第三句可知,在二十世纪五、六十年代骑自行车的人面临着被驱逐的危险,故D项可以排除;C项在文中没有提及。故选C。
15. C 【解析】主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后一段"Only thanks to ... of the world."可知,本文主要讲述的是阿姆斯特丹是如何成为世界自行车之都的。故C项符合题意。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
16 There are two pens which can write this book. One is writing growth, and the other is writing caducity(衰老).One is describing success, and the other is presenting failure. In other words, one is drawing happiness and the other is showing sorrow as well.
Life is like a heavy truck, so happiness and sorrow are like the wheels. No cross,no crown. No pain, no joy. ____17____ One is that to live a day is to leave a day. The other is that to live a day is to enjoy a day. Just one word difference, it has reflected the complete reverse(相反的) state of psychology. Life is like the course which is investing(投资) all the time. 18
When you have it, you should use it well and make it develop great actions. Please remember, the active attitude creates wonderful life, or the negative attitude wastes lifetime.
19 When she was about to knock at the door, she heard someone speaking in the room. A little girl said,"Would you like some braised(炖熟的) pork today?" Another girl said,"No. I would like some toasted chicken." Following the words, the lady knocked at the door and went into the room. 20 To her surprise, there were only some pieces of thin and dry bread, two cold potatoes and a jar of water on the table. The lady asked them what was the matter. They said that they imagined that, so poor food was turned into many kinds of delicious food.

【答案】
【语篇解读】生活就像一台敞篷车,快乐和忧伤就是车轮。记住:积极的态度成就精彩的人生,消极的态度使人虚度年华。
16. A 【解析】根据下文的"There are two pens which can write this book."可知,上文提到了书,故A项"Life is like a book."符合语境。
8. F 【解析】前文的"Life is like the course which is investing(投资) all the time."说明生活就是一个不断投资的过程,因此从某种意义上来说,生活就是资本,故F项符合语境。
19. G 【解析】空缺处位于本段句首,介绍了事情的起因。根据"When she was about to knock at the door"可知,这位女士要去拜访一户人家,故G项符合语境。
20. D 【解析】后文中的"there were only some pieces of thin and dry bread,two cold potatoes and a jar of water on the table"提示了她们正在桌旁用餐,故D项符合语境。
第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)
第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My husband, Tom, has always been good with animals, but I was still amazed when he befriended a female grouse (松鸡). It’s 21 for a grouse to have any
contact (接触) with people. In fact, they’re hard to spot, 22 they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching.
This grouse came into our lives in 23 .Tom was working out in the field when he 24 her walking around at the edge of the field. She was 25 unafraid and seemed to be 26 about what he was doing.
Tom saw the 27 bird several times, and she got more comfortable around him. We quickly grew 28 of the bird and decided to call her Mildred.
One day, as Tom was working, Mildred came within a few feet of him to watch. Tom 29 he didn’t see her and kept working to see what she would do next.
Apparently, she didn’t like to be 30 . She’d run up and peck (啄) at Tom’s hands, then 31 off to see what he would do. This went on for about 20 minutes, until Mildred became tired of the 32 and left.
As spring went and summer came, Mildred started to 33 more and more often. 34 Mildred felt comfortable enough to jump up on Tom’s leg and stay long enough for me to get a 35 of the two of them together. This friendly grouse soon felt 36 not just with our family, but with anybody who walked or drove by.
When hunting season opened, we put a 37 at the end of our driveway asking 38 not to shoot our pet grouse. My father, who lived down the road, 39 warned people not to shoot her. 40 , hunters would stop and take pictures, because they had never seen anything like her.

【答案】
【语篇解读】本文作者讲述了自己一家人和一只松鸡的故事。
21. D interesting有趣的;reasonable合理的;impossible不可能的;unusual不寻常的。根据上文作者对此事感到惊讶"I was still amazed"和下文中对松鸡性情的介绍"they usually fly off when they hear humans approaching."可知松鸡和人密切接触的情况是不常见的。
22. B though 尽管;because因为;unless除非;until直到。前句提到they’re hard to spot人们很难看到松鸡,后句内容说它们见到人类的接近就会飞走,由此可知人们很难见到松鸡的原因是它们惧怕人类,后句和前句是因果关系。
25. D naturally自然地;certainly 当然地;normally正常地;surprisingly令人惊讶地。从上文内容可知松鸡是怕人的,见到人就飞走,而这只松鸡不怕人,所以让人惊讶。
26. B crazy疯狂的,着迷的;curious好奇的;concerned关心的;cautious小心的。从空前内容可知松鸡不怕人,由此推断应该是好奇Tom在做什么,其他不符合语境。
27. C shy 害羞的;awkward尴尬的;friendly 友好的;elegant优雅的。从后句内容可知这只松鸡不怕Tom,而且在他身边越来越自在,此外在文章倒数第二段也提到friendly grouse,由此可知这只松鸡是友好的。
28. C careful小心的;tired厌倦的;fond喜欢的;sick恶心的,生病的。从空后内容可知作者和丈夫给松鸡取了名字,由此判断他们对这只松鸡越来越喜欢,be fond of 意思是"喜欢"。
29. D 考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。supposed认为,猜想;realized意识到;hoped希望;pretended假装。前面提到Tom看到松鸡走近他身边,后面又说没看到她,由此判断他是假装没看见,想看看松鸡会如何反应。
30. A ignored忽略,不理睬;observed观察,遵守,庆祝;amazed感到惊讶;disturbed打扰。上文提到Tom故意装作没看到这只松鸡,空后又描述松鸡去啄Tom的手,由此判断松鸡是想引起Tom的注意,不想被忽视。
31. B put放;back后退;place安置,放;take带走。从描述的情景可以推测松鸡啄了Tom之后就退后看他的反应,选B。
32. A game游戏;work工作;place地方;man人。根据上文的叙述可知在Tom不理睬松鸡的情况下,松鸡反反复复地去啄Tom,然后看他的反应,这对它来说是一种游戏。
33. B give up 放弃;come out出来;turn over翻转;fly by飞过。根据下文内容可知夏天到了松鸡更加频繁地外出走动了。
34. A Eventually 最终;Suddenly突然;Constantly不断地;Presently目前地。从上文内容可知松鸡一点一点地接近人类,胆子越来越大,最后都飞到Tom身上,由此判断答案选A。
37. B lantern灯笼;sign 招牌;gun 枪支;loudspeaker扬声器。根据情理可知要想提醒人们应该是树立起一个警示牌,而且空前动词put也只能和sign构成搭配。
38. C drivers司机;farmers农民;hunters猎人;tourists游客。从情理可知四个选项中会猎杀动物的只有猎人,而且通过下文猎人与松鸡拍照也可以判断作者是提醒猎人们不要猎杀他们的松鸡。
39. D just 仅仅;yet 然而;thus因此;also也。前面内容提到作者竖起牌子警示人们不要猎杀这只友好的松鸡,而父亲同时也警告人们别猎杀那只松鸡,由此可知答案选D。
40. A In fact 事实上;For long很长时间;On the contrary相反;By the way 顺便说。上文提到作者和家人都提醒人们不要去伤害这只松鸡,而猎人们不仅没有猎杀松鸡,甚至还和松鸡一起拍照,故A选项内容符合语境。
第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Whenever I use public transport and if I get a place to sit, I offer that seat to someone who 41 (need) it more than I, especially to the elderly, to women or someone 42 (desperate) looking for a seat. I have made a habit of saying "Thank you" to those 43 are sacrificing their places for the fellow passengers on public transport.
So many times I 44 (experience) that showing kindness in public places spreads like wildfire. I have seen that people around us get 45 (inspire) after seeing our kindness behavior and they themselves also start behaving similarly, 46 example, showing kindness in offering their places and adjusting 47 (they) to others. Observing and experiencing such things give huge joy and 48 (please).
I keep thinking that goodness will spread around the world through these ways. Every human being has __49__ pure soul having all goodness, but the only need is 50 (come) out open to behave in a way that is already so natural within us.
【答案】
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,讲述了作者每次乘坐公交车时总是会给有需要的人让座,作者认为在公共场合做好事会像野火一样迅速传播。
43. who 考查定语从句的引导词。those who… 表示"做某事的那些人",who引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,先行词是those,指人。
44. have experienced 考查时态。根据前面的So many times可知作者经历过很过次了,所以应用现在完成时。故填 have experienced。
45. inspired 考查形容词。get inspired表示"受到启发,激励"。故填inspired。
46. for 考查固定搭配。for example"例如",为固定短语。故填for。
47. themselves 考查反身代词。当主语跟宾语是同一人时,宾语应用反身代词。adjust oneself to意为"调整自己以适应……"。
48. pleasure 考查名词。所填空与joy并列,应用名词,且此处为不可数名词,故填pleasure。
49. a 考查冠词。每个人都拥有一颗至善的纯洁心灵。soul在这里是抽象名词具体化,且此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词修饰。故填a。
50. to come 考查非谓语动词。不定式作表语强调的是一次性、具体的、将要发生的动作。故填to come。

第一处:wait→waited 本句句首时间为Last Sunday,所以应该为过去时态,故wait改为waited。
第五处:great前加a 句意:一个大惊喜。此处 surprise表示"惊喜",为可数名词,故great surprise改成a great surprise。
第六处:richer→rich 此处family是名词,且不表示比较,应该用形容词的原级修饰,故richer改为rich。
第七处:删掉to make sb. do sth.让某人做某事,使某人做某事,为固定表达,故删掉work前的to。
第八处:asking→asked 此处是状语从句When she was asked的省略,由于从句主语和主句主语一致,且从句谓语中含有be动词,因此省略了从句的主语和be;she与ask之间为被动关系,故asking改为asked。
第九处:we→I 句意:我只想挣一些零花钱,这样我就可以帮助一些贫困地区的孩子返回学校了,故we 改成I。
第十处:How→What 此处应用What构成what型感叹句"What+a(an)+(形容词+)单数可数名词(+主语+谓语)!",how用于修饰形容词或副词,而不能修饰名词,故How改为What。

Dear friends,
In today’s world, being able to master a foreign language will be helpful in our life. Here, I’d like to share my learning methods.
First, I think it useful to learn grammar and remember as many useful sentence patterns as we can. I believe the more we read, the better our English will be. So I spend much time reading English newspapers and magazines after class, which helps a lot to improve my English. Besides, TV and radio programs are also of great help.
Learning English not only increases my awareness of foreign cultures but also helps me to communicate with English-speaking people and make more new friends.
However, sometimes I get discouraged because I keep forgetting the words I have just learned. I’d like to use the opportunity to seek for your advice. Thank you!
