When I was a ten-year-old girl, my mother determined to lead us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what our mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend our afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as dreadful as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with our friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Age who painted people wearing
strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn’t see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, things changed when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the woman’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn’t stop looking at the painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
24. The purpose of the mother’s plan for her children was to ________.
A. take them to visit the museum
B. ask them to read about artists
C. introduce them to the world of art
D. show them different painting styles
25. The underlined word “dreadful” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. colourful B. terrible C. reasonable D. relaxing
26. On the last visit to the museum, the writer _______.
A. met a woman called Mary
B. hardly enjoyed herself there
C. learnt how to draw good pictures
D. showed great interest in the paintings
27. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. The visit. B. The painting. C. The museum. D. The change.
C
If you were given the choice, which city in the world would you most like to live in?
According to an international consulting (咨询) firm, Mercer, it is Vienna, the capital of Austria. The city has won its 2016 “most livable city” award. And this is not the first time that Vienna has won: this is the seventh year that the Austria capital has received the honor.
The importance of this Central European city lies in the number of important organizations it hosts, including the UNOV (United National Office at Vienna), and OPEC, an oil-producing union. In fact, organizations that are based there want to enjoy the glory of the city’s rich history.
In the art, science and humanities, the city is famous to the world. For instance, Vienna is known as the “city of music”. Great composers who have lived and worked there such as Wolfgang Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert are all closely associated with Vienna. Today the city keeps this music tradition alive with its concert halls and opera houses. If you live in Vienna and love classical music, you can hear live music whenever you wan to.
Another important part of the city’s history is its coffee culture. Quality of life in Vienna for coffee lovers owes a lot to its legendary(传奇的) cafes. No tourists would want to leave Vienna, whether he or she loves coffee or not, without trying it out in these famous cafes!
28. Many important organizations are based in Vienna partly because ______.
A. they want to enjoy the city’s famous art
B. Vienna has won a lot of prizes in the world
C. Vienna is home to many great political leaders
D. they enjoy the honor of being in such a historic city
29. It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A. the rich history of Vienna has inspired many great composers
B. Vienna is a great attention to popular music lovers
C. classical music is still an important part of Viennese culture
D. most great composers were born in Vienna.
30. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. People love Viennese coffee because of its great taste.
B. Viennese coffee has a lot of specific health benefits.
C. Viennese people enjoy drinking coffee in the morning.
D. The cafes in Vienna are very attractive to tourists.
31. The main purpose of the text is to ____.
A. persuade readers to visit Vienna

C. explain how Vienna has won the award
D. introduce famous people who lived in Vienna
D
Tired of the old-fashioned running? You may want to give “crunning” a try!
Crunning is new fitness craze (短暂的时尚) that is taking Australia by storm. The letter “c” stands for “crawling (爬行)”. So while crunning, two-legged humans must run on both legs and arms.
The crazy idea is from Shaun McCarthy, a sports fan. He is convinced that it will change fitness as we know it. According to the sports fan, “The only thing that crunning’s changed about fitness is that it’s changed everything about fitness”.
McCarthy has no scientific facts to prove that crunning is more efficient than traditional two-legged running. However, he believes it is a more effective way to exercise because it puts stress on shoulders and arms, providing a complete body exercise. McCarthy also says crunning seems to tire him out more. He therefore concludes that crunning is a bigger calorie burner than normal running.
While some experts agree that crunning may provide a better workout, many are not sure if it is the right exercise for humans. Fitness coach Kevin Dean says we are not built to be on all fours and our wrists are therefore not as strong as our ankles. He believes that crunning, which he calls a craze, could result in bad wrists and shoulder injuries, not to mention broken noses.
But McCarthy is not worried. Since the release of his crunning video, many Melbourne residents have seen running around on all fours.
32. What’s special about crunning?
A. It involves both legs and arms of humans.
B. It burns fewer calories than normal running.
C. It is a slow version of crawling.
D. It is old-fashioned.
33. McCarthy thinks crunning is more effective than traditional running because _______.
A. crunning is a complete body exercise
B. traditional running is out of date
C. crunning has completely changed traditional running
D. there are scientific facts to prove that
34. What is Kevin Dean’s attitude towards crunning?
A. Happy. B. Supportive. C. Positive. D. Negative.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The future of crunning. B. The importance of crunning.
C. The introduction of crunning. D. The history of crunning.

A healthy relationship between parents and teenagers is very important for both parties. Teaching teenagers how to develop healthy relationship with their parents can be challenging. 36 Honestly, communication, trust and respect are the keys to a successful parent-teenager relationship.
Communicate with your parents openly and honestly. Effective communication includes stating what you want from a given conversation. 37

40 If you feel as though your parents have hurt your feeling, or if you feel angry towards your parents, tell them. Expressing your feelings to your parents may not solve the problem, but it will help your parents to understand why you feel so.
A. Try to understand your parents.
B. Be honest and truthful about your feelings.
C. As a result, parents and teenagers can develop a healthy relationship.
D. Let your parents know if you want advice or just want them to listen to you.

Text 10
In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.
Most children go to public elementary and secondary school. The parents of public school pupils do not have to pay directly for their children's education because tax money supports the public schools. If a child attends a private school, his parents pay the school for the children's education. Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the government. A student at a state university does not pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive. Almost half of the college students in the United States work while they are studying. When a student's family is not rich, he has to earn money for part of his college expenses.

Dear Tom,
I’m very sorry to hear that you want to leave the school basketball team because of high stress. As one of your friends, I hope that you can give up the idea.
In my opinion, playing basketball won’t affect your studies. Instead, it can build up your body and make you more energetic so that you can easily concentrate on your studies in class. Besides, playing basketball can develop your confidence and that will play a role in your future success. In addition, you should have a right attitude towards stress. It is part of our life. As to how to reduce stress, you may play basketball, listen to music or turn to your teachers or classmates for help. Last but not least, you should arrange your time properly. You need to study and relax as well.
I hope you can take my suggestion into account and make your final decision.
Yours,
Li Hua
