One popular view of Vincent Van Gogh is that his mental health problems gave him some of his artistic genius(天才)．But a new exhibition in Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands argues that this was not the case．The exhibition questions whether depression helped the Dutch artist，who shot himself in a cornfield in Paris in 1890．
Using written documents and a gun that was found by a farmer in 1960 in that same cornfield，experts argue that，far from inspiring his art，Van Gogh’s illness actually stopped him working for long periods，and that he heroically fought against its uncreative effects．
The image of Van Gogh as a“mad genius”arguably comes from his own art．In his Self-Portrait With a Bandaged Ear(1889)，he focuses on the wound he gave himself when he cut off his left ear with a razor blade(剃须刀片)in December 1888．According to Jonathan Jones，the UK newspaper The Guardian’s art writer，this is a portrait of an artist both hurt and“liberated by madness”．
Similarly，the finding by American biographers Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith that Van Gogh was shot by someone else is challenged in the exhibition．The museum displays the gun he probably used in his suicide(自杀).Other evidence in the exhibition，including his last works of art that give away his dark thoughts，backs up the belief that Van Gogh died by suicide．
“Van Gogh was not successful during his own lifetime．”This is the idea that many people have about the famous artist．but is it true? It depends on how you see“Success”．For example，in March 1890，a few months before his death，10 of his works were on display at an important exhibition in Paris．
Critics had also started to praise him．J．J．Isaacson wrote in September 1889 that he was a pioneer，a lonely fighter in the dark night，and the generations to come should brand his name upon their memories：Vincent Van Gogh．He probably didn’t know how right he was．
24．What does the underlined phrase“the case”in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．That Van Gogh’s illness stopped him working．
B．That Van Gogh’s illness contributed to his achievements．
C．That Van Gogh had a gift for painting.
D．That Van Gogh had no mental health problems．
25．How do people know that Van Gogh was a“mad genius”according to the text?
A．From the new exhibition． B．From the newspaper The Guardian．
C．From Van Gogh’s painting． D．From two American biographers．
26．What can we infer from J．J．Isaacson’s assessment?
A．Van Gogh was actually successful．
B．Van Gogh’s name will be forgotten．
C．Van Gogh didn’t know Isaacson was right．
D．Van Gogh was the greatest painter in history．
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．An introduction to Van Gogh B．A new exhibition about Van Gogh’s works
C．Van Gogh’s unsuccessful life D．New findings about Van Gogh
C
On a clear night，you can see a sky packed with stars．But you can’t see planets orbiting any of these stars，even with the strongest Earth—based telescopes．Astronomers reported that they discovered seven Earth—sized planets orbiting a nearby star called TRAPPIST—1 in February．They had to rely on indirect evidence to tell them that the planets are there．By doing some math，they figured out the number of planets and the distance of their orbits．
TRAPPIST—1 is a red dwarf star(红矮星)，much smaller than our sun，but larger than Jupiter(木星)．If the sun were the size of a basketball，TRAPPIST—1 would be the size of a golf ball．This star is one of our closest neighbors，just like the moon to the earth in space．
When astronomers using Earth-based telescopes to study TRAPPIST—1，they noticed that every once in a while，it became slightly dim(昏暗)．They decided that a planet must be passing in front of the star，blocking part of the light．This dimming would come and go as the planet orbited the star，passing alternately(交替地)behind and in front of the star regularly．
By making careful observations，astronomers expected to get a rough idea of the planet’s size from the pattern of dimming light．But the light level changed often and not at evenly spaced (间隔的)times．The astronomers had to conclude they were looking at more than one planet! To get additional data，NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope measured TRAPPIST—1’s brightness nearly continuously for 20 days，catching 34 crossings of planets in front of the star．Sorting through the mess of data，the astronomers found that the innermost planet completes its orbit in 1.5 Earth days，while the outermost planet takes 20 days．Once you know how long it takes each planet to complete an orbit，you can work out how far it is from the star compared with the other planets．
The TRAPPIST—l planets are not alone．So far，astronomers have found more than 3，400 planets that orbit other stars．
28．How did astronomers know the number of planets orbitting TRAPPIST—1?
A．They used their eyes． B．They used telescopes．
C．They performed some calculation． D．They made some guess．
29．How does the author introduce TRAPPIST—1 in Paragraph 2?
A．By giving examples． B．By making comparisons.
C．By providing research results． D．By listing some numbers．
30．What probably causes the star TRAPPIST—1 to be slightly dim?
A．The telescope’s failure． B．The cloud floating around．
C．The star’s moving． D．The passing planets．
31．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 47
A．The ways to get the information of the planets．
B．The introduction of the planets．
C．The distances of the planets to the star．
D．The astronomers’efforts of exploring TRAPPIST—1．
D
If conditions get bad enough，almost any kind of weather can become a storm．
Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans．It can cause major events to be postponed．And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people，fortune and anima1．
If you weather the storm，or ride out the storm，you survive and move on without harm or injury．For example，1et’s talk about Tornado Alley，the name for part of the central United States．During springtime，this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes．People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass．People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!
You can also weather a storm，but it doesn’t involve actual weather．“To weather the storm”can also mean to make it through a difficult experience or trying times．So，if the stock market(股市)crashes，you might have to weather a financial storm．
Often before a big storm，conditions are calm．The calm before the storm can happen anytime．It is the time before something bad happens．For example，at the beginning of a family reunion．the adults were all talking happily．But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm．They’ve seen it happen before．The adults talk happily for about an hour．Then they start arguing about events from the past—things that should really stay buried!
But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it，you are in the eye of the storm．In the world of weather，the eye of the storm is the calmest part，in the center of a hurricane，for example．However，in the English language，if you are in the eye of the storm，you are in the most intense part of a conflict．For example，she had no idea that walking into the meeting
would put her in the eye of the storm．
However，a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather．To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people．And don’t worry．If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program，we can always brainstorm with you !
32．What’s mainly discussed in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs?
A．What the meanings of weathering the storm are．
B．How we can weather the storm．
C．Weathering a storm doesn’t involve actual weather．
D．People in Tornado Alley can survive the storm．
33．Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?
A．To stress the importance of weather forecast．
B．To develop the awareness of family．
C．To explain the meaning of an expression．
D．To praise the older children for being clever．
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．A problem ear’t be solved if you worry too much．
B．A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather．
C．Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork．
D．To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program．
35．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To tell us stormy weather can cause destruction．
B．To tell us some expressions about storm．
C．To tell us a storm can cause conflicts．
D．To tell us we should be ready for a storm．

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。
The color of animals is by no means a matter of chance；it depends on many considerations，but in the majority of cases tends to protect the animals from danger by making it less outstanding．Perhaps，it may be said that if coloring is mainly protective，there ought to be fewer brigthtly colored animals．36 ．The kingfisher itself，though so brightly colored，is not easy to see．
37 ．Thus，for instance，the lion，and the wild donkey are all sand—colored．“Indeed，in the desert，neither trees，brushwood，nor even undulation(起伏)of the surface afford the slightest protection to its enemies． 38 ．”says an expert．
The next point is the color of the mature caterpillars(毛虫)，some of which are brown．This probably makes the caterpillar even more outstanding among the green leaves．What would you do if you were a big caterpillar? Why，like most other defenseless creatures，you would feed by night，and
lie hidden by day． 39 ．When the morning light comes，they go down the stem of the food plant，and hide among dry sticks and leaves near the ground，and it is obvious that under such circumstances the brown color really becomes a protection．While we may say as a general rule that large caterpillars feed by night and hide by day，it is by no means always the case that they are brown；some of them still remain green． 40 ，and that the brown color is a later adaptation．
A．So do these caterpillers
B．Therefore，the color of the animals is bright
C．We can say that they formed a good habit
D．Desert animals are generally the color of the desert
E．We may conclude that the habit of hidng themselves by day comes first
F．However，there are some cases where vivid colors are themselves protective
G．So the color of birds，snakes and even smaller animals，is of one uniform sand color
