(2014·山东烟台模拟)
If you're in Florence, Italy, and see a man on a ladder wiping the dust off statues and buildings, don't worry. It's just Alessandro Ricci gathering material for his famous smog paintings.
Ricci is not a common artist，because he used smog as the main medium of his artworks. Unlike other painters seeking fast recognition of their talent, he doesn 't really care about “being this big artist”. Instead he is more concerned about bringing attention to how much smog there really is in his home town and how it's destroying both its monuments and people.
Although he did take a couple of art classes a few years back，he is mainly self-taught，doesn't work in a studio，donates most of his works，and refuses to play by the rules of the Florentine Art Gallery, which he considers corrupt. Alessandro Ricci believes selling his smog paintings will not only compromise his principles，but also contradict the very thing he's trying to do—raise awareness about smog pollution in this city.
Alessandro lives with his parents nearby Florence, but almost every day he visits the streets of the city, and collects smog for his paintings. He gets it from several meters above ground，from clean surfaces like marble, plastic and stone, using damp pieces of cotton. Then he applies the smog directly onto a cloth and creates street scenes and reproductions of the very buildings from which he got the dangerous material. Finally, he seals his paintings with a natural resin (树脂)．
His actions helped win a small victory for the people of Florence, as in October 25,2012 the Duomo area of the city was made pedestrian-only. But there is still a long way to go，the artist believes, and only cleaning the thick layer of smog that has accumulated throughout Florence would take several years. Still, he continues to paint his unique smog artworks and let the people know how polluted the environment they live in really is.

Ⅱ.七选五
(2014·长春市第三次调测)
Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust. Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe.__1__ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone. However, how do we know if our friends have faith in us?
__2__ With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust yourself. While a few of your friends may be fiercely protective of their privacy and may not tell their secrets to anyone, those who do, surely find you trustworthy and reliable.
Whom do you look up to for advice when you need it the most? It has to be either your parents or your friends. __3__ This is a shining example of trust. You only seek advice from people you hold in high regard and find dependable. The friends who trust you will never forget to include you in the important decisions of their life.
Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship. __4__ While some people find it difficult to forgive and forget, your friends will never have problems moving on. It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain to them on purpose.
There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. __5__ Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. You can determine that they trust you and believe in your beliefs, if they side with you when you need them the most. A．People can be extraordinarily jealous sometimes.
B．You know they will never pass on a wrong suggestion.
C．In fact, winning trust is, by far, the most challenging aspect of relationships.
D．Two people cannot have identical reactions to a situation and different opinions do exist. E．No matter how close you are to your friends, you cannot take that comfort level for granted.
F．If your friends share their secrets, there's a good possibility that they have much faith in you. G．However, people who are fortunate to have been blessed with true friends are never alone in any battle.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，告诉读者信任是联系的纽带和基础，以及在生活中如何才能知道我们的朋友是否信任我们。
1．C考查考生对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。由第一段最后两句“Not many of your friends will have real faith in you as you would like to believe. __1__ Sometimes, it takes years, even a complete lifetime, to trust someone.” 可知。答案中的信息与画线部分信息吻合。
2．F考查考生对段落大意的概括能力。本句是主题句，概括下文。“With whom will you share things that you don't want everyone to know? It would be with a close friend, whom you trust as much as you trust y ourself.”
3．B考查考生对上下文因果关系的理解能力。上文说你想征求他人意见时最想找的是你的父母或朋友，下文答案接着给出找他们的原因是你知道他们不会害你，故选B。
4．D考查考生对上下文顺承关系的理解能力。根据本段第一句“Arguments and heated discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendship” 可知。答案中的信息与画线部分信息吻合。
5．G考查考生对上下文转折关系的理解能力。本答案的上文说人生中有时候你会感到孤独，下文则说真正的朋友绝不会让你失望或沮丧，故为转折关系，并且答案句的开头又有提示词However，因此选G。
Ⅲ.语法填空
(2014·山西大学附中5月)
Beer and fried chicken—this combo has recently become the __1__ popular late-night snack eaten inside dorms and documented in Weibo and Wechat updates. Thanks to the popular South Korean drama Man From the Stars, this new mix-and-match junk food trend has taken off __2__ young audiences despite its __3__(health) nature. Indeed, K-dramas have been __4__ major force in the South Korean pop culture wave __5__ has captured the hearts of young Chinese. Apart from pretty faces, fashion is __6__ highlight. Critics and Industry insiders agree that the recipe for K-dramas' success __7__(consist) of several main ingredients—handsome and cute stars __8__(dress) in the latest fashion trends, youth fantasies, and __9__(create) storylines. With love triangles, serious diseases, and Cinderella tales, the storylines in K-drama might seem commonplace. Man From the Stars challenges this norm by integrating aliens __10__ time travel into these standard stories.
文章大意：《来自星星的你》的成功原因探究。
答案：
1．most炸鸡和啤酒，这个看似怪异的搭配，最近竟成了宿舍里最受追捧的夜宵和微博、微信上最火的词语。多音节形容词、副词的最高级是在其前加most。
2．among因为正在热播的韩剧《来自星星的你》的关系，这一垃圾食品的全新混搭组合尽管有害健康，但还是受到年轻观众的追捧。
3．unhealthy见上题解析。
4．a的确，韩国电视剧(简称：韩剧)，已成为推动韩国流行文化潮流的主力军，成功虏获了中国年轻观众的心。
5．that/which此处为定语从句的引导词。
6．another除了俊男美女，时尚是另外一个亮点。another“另一，再一”。
7．consists consist of“由……组成”，主语是the recipe，所以用其单数第三人称。
8．dressed and前后是名词词组。所以此处用非谓语动词，由短语be dressed in可知，用过去分词形式。
9．creative有创造力的故事情节。creative“有创造力的”。
10．and《来自星星的你》将外星人和穿越融入到剧情当中，颠覆了韩剧剧情的定式。Ⅳ.短文改错

He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931. The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August 1966, at the age of nearly 65, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life. Chichester covered 14100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously sailed alone. He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his family who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen. After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends' attempts to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the treacherous Cape Horn. After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London: "I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare. Wild horses could not drag me down to Cape Horn and that sinister Southern Ocean again." Just before 9 o'clock on Sunday evening 28 May 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him. Queen Elizabeth II knighted(授以爵位)
