Following a dramatic three-year redecoration, completed in December 2011, the Gallery now offers 17 new displays. Each of these explores different aspects of the story of Scotland and her people.The BuildingThe Scottish National Portrait Gallery was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson as a holy palace for Scotland's heroes and heroines. A detailed Arts and Crafts decorative scheme, both inside and out, with its glittering friezes, evocative murals and extensive sculptural embellishment, makes it a very special visitor experience.The CollectionThe Portrait Gallery's collection is an exceptional national resource of over 30, 000 fascinating images containing a rich variety of media and including many internationally outstanding works of art. The portraits depict （刻画）the men and women whose lives and achievements helped shape Scotland and the wider world. The Gallery is also home to the NGS's outstanding collection of photographs which includes around 6, 000 works by the early Scottish pioneers of the medium, Robert Adamson and David Octavius Hill as well as new works by leading-edge contemporary photographers.Visitor FacilitiesThe new Portrait Gallery cafe serves a delicious menu of fresh dishes and classic recipes, using the very best local ingredients and seasonal produce. Our new shop offers a fresh twist on design—led gifts and souvenirs. The Gallery now has all the facilities which today's visitors expect, including a fantastic new lift, an Education suite and disabled access throughout the building.(1) What do we learn about the Scottish National Portrait Gallery?A. Every display reflects Scotland.B. It is well-known for its building.C. There are about 6,000 works in it.D. It has a comparatively short history.(2) Its visitor facilities can be described as .A. rare and user-friendlyB. characteristic and attractiveC. modern and all-roundD. beneficial and conventional18、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三二模（B篇）第18~21题Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic （享乐的）gains than material purchases.The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant （生气勃勃）, but you're less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day.Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It's more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession.Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy "joyless" material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level.Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. It's more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different.It's well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn ＄50, 000 a year while everyone else earns ＄25, 000, instead of earning ＄100, 000 themselves and having other people earn ＄200, 000.A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, it's easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available.(1) An abstract sense in the passage refers to awareness of something.A. you cannot think aboutB. you can' t remember wellC. you cannot understandD. you cannot see or touch(2) If you make an experiential purchase before a material purchase, you may goto.A. a theatre before going to a storeB. an exhibition before going to a parkC. a mall before going to a grocer'sD. a market before going to a restaurant(3) The example of earnings is given to actually indicate.A. how ridiculous people areB. how people feel contentC. how nearsighted people areD. how people hold prejudice(4) It is implied in the passage that, after their material purchases, peoplemight.A. enjoy their ownership of what they have boughtB. pick every fault in the products they have gotC. regret making a wrong decision to buy the itemsD. leave what they've purchased untouched at home19、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三二模（C篇）第19~22题In a unique research cooperation between Stratasys, Education, R&D departments and MIT's Self-Assembly Lab, a new process is being developed, known as 4D Printing.The 4D printing concept, which allows materials to "self-assemble （自行组装）" into 3D structures, was initially proposed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty member Skylar Tibbits. Tibbits and his team combined a strand （缕） of plastic with a layer made out of "smart" material that could self-assemble in water. They advanced this concept by creating materials that can change into several different complicated shapes, though this kind of material remains the bottleneck of 4D technology.To many people that are just starting to get used to the idea of 3D printers, the name 4D is causing confusion because they cannot understand where this fourth "dimension" coming from. 4D technology shares many of the same principles of 3D printing and is essentially still about creating a new, 3D structure out of certain component; however, Tibbits states the fourth dimension at work here comes from concept of the fourth dimension of time. The difference between these 3D and 4D creations is that these new forms have the ability to transform and adapt over time.4D printing works through self-assembly—a system where "disordered elements form an “ordered" structure via an interaction. With these 4D printed materials, these disordered materials are strands or sheets of specially designed materials. Environmental changes then stimulate （刺激）a response from them so that they form a preprogrammed shape.The idea of having adaptable technology that only relies on energy and non-human interactions raises some interesting questions about where 4D printing can be used and the practical applications in dangerous environments. This could mean improved infrastructures in extreme conditions, leading to a reduced need for workers to put themselves at risk, but the potential goes even further than that. The technology promises exciting new possibilities for a variety of applications. A solar panel or similar product could be produced in a flat shape onto which functional devices can be easily installed. It could then be changed to a compact shape for packing and shipping. After arriving at its destination, the product could be stimulated to form a different shape that serves its function. Also it could be used to build furniture, bikes, cars and even buildings. As with many of the ideas being put forward, it is easy to go a step too far into the extreme, but this just shows the potential of 4D in comparison to 3D.The next stage for the research is to move from printing single strands to sheets and eventually whole structures. And water need not be the process ' s only energy source.(1) Which of the following displays the fourth dimension of 4D printing?A. 4D printing creates a new, 3D structure out of certain component.B. 4D technology reduces need for workers to put themselves at risk.C. 4D technology can be used in many more fields than 3D printing.D. 4D printed materials reshape themselves with conditions changing.(2) The major problem concerning the development of 4D printing lies in.A. producing essential 4D printersB. creating proper smart materialsC. providing a suitable environmentD. promoting practical applications(3) What does the passage lead you to believe?A. 4D printing will take the place of 3D printing in the near future.B. Most aspects of our daily life can be affected by 4D printing.C. 4D printing will benefit humans by saving labor somehow.D. Smart materials can be transformed into other types of material.(4) It can be inferred from the passage that.A. electricity is not used in 4D technologyB. 4D printing has been applied in industryC. more potential of 4D is to be discoveredD. smart materials can change in a random way20、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三二模（D篇）第20~24题Dear Textual Healing,I would be very interested in your recommendations for any books to help me through a difficult time of my life. At 57, I am feeling a bit lost. I have a wonderful, loving husband and bright, caring teenage daughter but I am lonely and have lost my spark for life.I have always taken care of everyone and managed a career, but, after the death of my father this summer, my difficulties as a child in a terribly abnormal family have come back to me regularly. / have become unfocused and often alone while my husband is away frequently on business and my daughter busy with school and friends.I am seeking the help of a therapist and taking care of myself but I would love to read something to help me "get my groove （理想状况）back" and reengage with life.PCDear PC,From the letter you've given us about your life, it's no wonder you're feeling a little lost. But before prescribing titles to help you get your groove back, I'd recommend taking a journey into Rebecca Solnit's non-fiction book, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which is packed with the wisdom of everyone from Pat Barker to Thoreau and Keats.The word lost is rooted in the Old Norse "los" ，meaning the disbanding of an army. "This origin suggests soldiers falling out of formation to go home, ceasing fighting with the wide world. I worry now that many people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know, " Solnit writes. So instead of fearing that lost feeling, try seeing its potential for discovery. Explorers, remember, are always lost simply because they're forever someplace new."Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark, " Solnit advises. "That's where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go."For something that asks a little less of the reader while still giving plenty in return, try a dose （一剂）of Anne Tyler, the beloved creator of numerous heroes whose serious conditions will move anyone who finds themselves in a midlife difficult situation. One such character is 53-year-old Rebecca Davitch, the heroine of Back When We Were Grownups. Like you, she's combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds herself feeling lonely in her own home. Could it be, she wonders, that she's "turned into the wrong person"? Don't be fooled by the way this novel ambles along—as Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandoned, it asks some heart-rending questions before arriving at a place of graceful, joyous acceptance.Along similar lines, I'm also going to recommend The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick. On his way to post her a note，he decides instead to visit her—on foot, from his home in deepest Devon to England's northernmost town, more than 600 miles away. You don't manage that without focus! It's a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete, during which he considers his childhood, marriage and relationship with his son, and becomes an accidental media sensation （轰动）. By the time he reaches his destination, you'll feel anything but tired.Finally, Ruth Ozeki's novel A Tale for the Time Being will charm the missing spark back into your life. Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middle-aged novelist who finds it, washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia, it's a beautiful illustration of how our lives touch—and are touched by—others in ways we mightn't even be aware of. This Man Booker Prize finalist has plenty to teach about Zen Buddhism, and unless you happen to live in one of its settings, it provides a bracing change of scene, too.One other suggestion: books, as we all know, make great companions but that doesn't mean they can't be enjoyed in the company of others. If you find yourself home alone, why not slip one into your back pack and head out to a favourite café.(1) What has mainly led to PC's negative attitude to life?A. The lack of helpful books.B. The blow of her father’s death.C. The contrast between her devotion to others and her being ignored.D.

Once in Western Europe, literature indicated all books and writing. During the Romantic period, it began to refer to “imaginative” literature. Nowadays literature is seen as a term used to describe written of spoken material, including all the following.Poetry uses rhythmic qualities of language to bring out meanings in addition to, or in place of, unimaginative surface meaning. Poetry has traditionally been distinguished from prose by its being set inverse（颠倒）;poetry is cast in sentences, poetry in lines.Novel is typically written in a narrative (叙事) style and presented as a book. Novels tell stories, in which the characters and events are usually imaginary. The novel has been a part of human culture for over a thousand years, although its origins are somewhat debated. Regardless of how it began, the novel has remained one of the most popular and treasured examples of human culture and writing. It remains an essential part of the literary cultures of nearly all societies around the world.Novella is classified as “Too short to be a novel，too long to be a short story”. There is no precise definition in terms of word or page count. Literary prizes and publishing houses often have their own arbitrary limits, which vary according to their particular intentions.A short story is different from novels or novellas in that the plot is usually tied to one single chain of events. Because the reader must identify with a character quickly to become engaged, the tale is often told from the chief character’s point of view.A drama refers to a play for the theatre，television or radio. It generally consists of chiefly dialogue between characters. It also uses dance to convey their message. Dramas usually aim at dramatic performance rather than at reading. In theater, a drama is presented by actors to an audience.Good literary works depend on literary techniques. A literary technique can be used by authors in order to improve the written framework of a piece of literature, and produce specific effects.Literary techniques include a wide range of approaches to crafting a work. The ability to let readers know what might happen in the future in an indirect way is possible through the technique foreshadowing. The practice of representing objects and qualities as human beings in literature is personification. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas.五、书面表达22、【来源】 2015年江苏南通高三二模第22题请根据你对以下图的理解，以 "Playing a trick or working hard? " 为题，用英语写一篇作文。
