Roman Britain and so on. Overwhelmed? Follow a free eye-opener tour on your smart phone or

Adriana put down the knife, stepped back and looked at her finished painting. She was
usually her own worst critic, but today Adriana was pleased with what she saw. Sunset was her
best work yet! Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always
“What’s that supposed to be?” or “Artists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth.”
Still, she didn’t care. Adriana painted to please herself, not others.
When she showed the work to Mr. Marcus, her middle school art teacher, the net day, he
shook his head and said sternly, “Please Adriana, I’ve had enough of this.” Anyone hearing this
comment and its tone would naturally think Mr. Marcus was criticizing her work, but it was his frustration speaking. He loved Adriana’s paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them
publicly. She always refused.
As her middle school graduation approached, however, Adriana began worrying about
university. Her parents would cover her study fees, but Adriana planned to pay for her
university books, art supplies and accommodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made
the suggestion, Adriana agreed. A disbelieving grin appeared on Mr. Marcus’s face.
The following day, after checking the newspapers and visiting several local real estate
offices, Adriana and Mr. Marcus wandered around the town looking for a suitable location.
Finally, though, they could not find anything within their price range.
At the day’s end, the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the
disappointment on Adriana’s face and, as a woman came to take their order, said, “Don't worry.
We’ll find somewhere to show your art.” On hearing this, the woman said, “Did you say art?
You know we show local artists’ works right here in the café,” pointing to the paintings hanging
on the walls. “Bring a few of your pieces around tomorrow for me to look at. I’m Susan by the
way, the owner.” After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in
amazement.
The next morning Adriana brought along Sunset and Mr. Marcus the two paintings of
Adriana’s he’d purchased earlier that year. Susan studied the paintings in silence, concentrating
hard on each one. After what felt like a lifetime, she turned to Adriana and said, “I’d be
honoured to hang these in my café.”
24. What can we learn about Adriana from the first paragraph?
A. She was very independent in her thinking.
B. She was not very popular with her classmates.
C. She was easily affected by other people’s opinions.
D. She was very confident in her own artistic abilities.
25. What was Mr. Marcus’s opinion of Adriana’s paintings?
A. Strongly critical.
B. Very positive.
C. Somewhat frustrating.
D. A little confusing.
26. Why did Adriana finally agree to show her artwork?
A. Her high school graduation was getting nearer.
B. She felt guilty about troubling Mr. Marcus.
C. Her parents were in desperate need of money.
D. She wanted to help support herself during university.27. Adriana finally found a place to show her artwork mainly because of ________.
A. friendly encouragement
B. strong determination
C. careful planning
D. good luck
C
As we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of
humans living on other planets often comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for
example, have long been a dream of many. There is a natural desire to explore as far as we can
go, and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent or at least semi-permanent basis. In
order to do this, however, it is necessary to adapt to different extreme environments. On the
Moon for example, a colony must be self-sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless,
harsh environment outside.
Mars, though, is different. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over
time there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just
co-existing with it. This is the process of terraforming - adjusting Mars’ atmosphere and
environment to make it more Earth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?
One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be
preserved as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then large-scale human settlements on Mars
should be completely off-limits. Small colonics might be fine, but living on Mars should not be
at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then
terraforming should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.
What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien
environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We’ve already done too much
damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current
natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world.
We should appreciate (he differences of other worlds instead of just transforming them to suit
our own ambitions.
28. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Is there life on Mars?
B. Can we adapt to Mars?
C. Should we terraform Mars?
D. Are Mars and Earth So Different?29. What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars ?
A. Ensure that it's not harmed.
B. Negotiate with the Martians.
C. Change the unpopulated regions.
D. Assess the advantages and disadvantages.
30. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Complex. B. Native. C. Foreign. D. Intelligent
31 How does the author develop his ideas in the text?
A. By referring to others' research.
B. By evaluating different planets.
C. By justifying the benefits of terraforming.
D. By arguing in support of one viewpoint.
D
After 400 years, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is still widely celebrated as a great
crafter of language and playwright (剧作家).But he was not the only great master of dramatic
writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on
theatre. While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China’s greatest
playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and worked as a government official
until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of
plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a
Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion - widely considered to be his
masterpiece. In the latter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used
these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time. It
is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare^ A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and, similarly to
Shakespeare, his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice
during his lifetime. As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with
public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common.
Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of
entertainment found its place outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeare’s England, there
was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events.
During this time, the way in which play-texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also
changed. Initially, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performed. However, from the
mid-16th century, kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to
become a symbol of Chinese culture.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other, they share in common
the humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, a lasting popularity —
and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
32. Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang?
A. To compare the writing styles of the writers.
B. To emphasize Tang’s importance in literature.
C. To assess the achievements of these two great writers.
D. To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare.
33. What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang’s other plays?
A. It does not rely heavily on dream scenes.
B. It is widely considered to be his best work.
C. It was the only play to be publicly performed.
D. It challenged the feudal system of ancient China.
34. What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang’s
lifetime?
A. Music and poetry were present in most performances.
B. The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.
C. Different social classes often attended the same performances.
D. Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than performed.
35. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
A. Tang’s plays were superior to his poems.
B. Tang is more widely read than Shakespeare.
C. Tang is the best playwright in Chinese history.
D. Tang and Shakespeare knew of each other s works.第二节 ( 共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分 )

Up in the air—a history of ballooning
The first kind of air transportation was the balloon. People traveled by balloon one hundred
years before there were planes or jet aircraft. Those early days of ballooning were exciting, but
they were also risky. 36 However, the danger did not stop the balloonists.
The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two French brothers made a balloon.
37 Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the
sky.
38 They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay
up in the air for a few hours. But their balloon was tied to the ground. So it could not go
anywhere.
Soon balloonists tried longer flights. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the
English Channel. They left England on a cold, clear January day. Halfway across, their balloon
began to drop toward the water. They threw out some equipment and food to make the balloon
lighter. The balloon continued to fall, so they threw out almost everything in the basket -even
some of their clothes. 39
During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport and balloons were also
used by scientists to study the air and by armies in war time. After the airplane was invented,
however, interest in balloons decreased dramatically. But some people today still like to go up
in balloons. 40 What’s more, they have a wonderful view of the world below.
A. They filled a very large paper bag with hot air.
B. High up in the balloon basket, they find quiet.
C. Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly and sometimes they burned.
D. Back then, few people understood how they were able to fly so far.
E. Finally, after about three hours, they landed in France, cold but safe.
F. Balloon races and displays remain popular all over the world to this very day.
G. Later that same year, two other Frenchmen ascended in a basket under a balloon.

stories,” writes Abi Elphinstone, author of the Dreamsnatcher books. “I begin every story by
drawing a map because it is only when my 60 start moving from place to place that a plot

第二节书面表达
Dear Tom,
Thanks for your interesting question about the role of dragons in Chinese culture.
I did a little research and here are some facts that may be helpful.
Historically, legend says that Chinese are descendants of dragons, which
symbolize good luck and highest power. As a result, only the emperor could wear
garments featuring dragon designs in ancient China. Ordinary people shared the
dragons* blessings through celebrations.such as the Duanwu Festival's dragon boat
races and dragon dances performed during Chinese New Year.Dragons have also entered our daily vocabulary. "I wish you the spirit and vigor
of a dragon"is one common idiom used to convey wishes for good health.
I hope this information is useful for your presentation. If you have further
questions, feel free to ask.
Yours,
Li Hua
