Her spine(脊柱) become bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera’s strong infl uences on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country.Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.()4.What does th e phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A.A far better artist.B.A far more gifted artist.C.A much stronger person.D.A much more famous person.()5.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by.A.polioB.her bent spineC.back injuriesD.the operations she had()6.Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the.A.1930sB.1940sC.1950sD.1970s()7.What is the author’s attitude toward Kahlo?A.Devotion.B.Sympathy.C.Worry.D.Encouragement.CJane Clarke,My daughter is coming up to her finals.She eats reasonably well but less so in term time,as getting out to buy fresh fruit and vegetables is time-consuming.She has recently often had flu.Can you offer guidance on what to eat and drink when under pressure?Mary King,She should mainly take in the B vitamins,the group largely responsible for the smooth running of the nervous system,and vitamin C,which experts believe we need in much greater quantities when we are stressed than the usual.B vitamins are found in many foods but especially pork,bacon,nuts,dairy products,lean meat,fish,eggs and whole grains-so even if your daughter can’t shop regularly,other foods can work in her favor.Tinned oily fish are good,which can help to block production of the enzyme(酶)that makes us feel tense when under pressure.Fresh produce usually has the highest and best all-round levels of nutrients such as vitamin C,but if your daughter has a freezer she could buy frozen vegetables,which contain good levels.Fresh juice is another good source of vitamin C.She should avoid caffeine,as it increases the adrenaline(肾上腺素) generated at times of stress; water would be better.Frequent small meals can help concentration.High-sugar foods such as biscuits and sweets could make people feel excited,and patients often feel the same; better avoid eating them.Pasta,rice or a jacket potato,will help to calm us down. And drinking plenty of water can also help concentration.()8.If lacking vitamin C,one had better eat.A.dairy products and oily fishB.fresh vegetables and fruitsC.caffeine and biscuitsD.lean meat and fresh vegetable()9.We can learn that the daughter of Mary King .A.doesn’t have enough time to go shoppingB.is fond of buying frozen vegetablesC.is getting on well with her classmatesD.is too stressed to prepare for the finals()10.According to the passage,why should high-sugar foods be avoided?A.Because it increases the adrenaline.B.Because it can make students more stressed.C.Because it can excite people.D.Because it can make people fat.()11.We can infer from the passage that .A.the more water one drinks,the betterB.Jane Clarke knows Mary King very wellC.eating is closely related to people’s mental healthD.the daughter of Mary King takes in too much caffeineDEveryone talks about the “five” senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside from our sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight — our visual sense — gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses,the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch),and the gustatory (taste) bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without,though they are little noticed. These are the senses of balance (平衡),without which we would act like a drunk after a heavy drink,and the kinesthetic sense(动觉), which gives us our ideas about our own motion (运动).()12.Which is the best title for this passage?A.The Five Senses of ManB.The Senses of ManC.Senses and InformationD.Important Senses()13.The sense of sight supplies us with.A.about half of our information about the worldB.about 20% of our information about the worldC.80% of our information about the worldD.all the needed our information about the world()14.The senses of hearing,smell,touch and taste supply us with.A.about half of our information about the worldB.about 20% of our information about the worldC.about 80% of our information about the worldD.all the needed our information about the world()15.According to the passage,one misses most about the world when one.A.is blindB.is deafC.has no sense of taste and touchD.has no sense of balance and motionⅢ.完形填空(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从每题所给的A,B,C和D项中选出最佳选项。

AThe country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by acolonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and anAmerican naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an armyofficer. The girl insists women have long outgrown thejumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouseera, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are,arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men.“A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says,“is to scream. And while a man mayfeel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of theother guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of thehostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers tohim. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor theservant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait fora snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the roombut he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place - under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movementwill frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arrestingthat it quietens everyone.“I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will countthree hundred - that's five minutes - and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying ..o.. hundred and eighty.."when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four orfive screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors.“There is your proof!" the host says.“A man has just shown us real control."“Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess,“How did you know that cobrawas in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she repli es. “Because it was lying across myfoot.""21.What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A. Whether women are afraid of mice.B. Whether men are calmer than women.C. Whether men are cleverer than women.D. Whether women would make suitable soldiers.22. Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A. To play a trick.B. To serve the guests.C. To attract the snake .D. To feed the hostess's pet.23. Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A. He doesn't want anyone to panic.B. He intends to test the officer's theory.C. He sees there was a snake in the room.D. He wants to entertain the other guests.24. What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A. The army officer's opinion is wrong.B. The hostess understood the American's intention.C. The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D. The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.B25. What caused musicals to move in a new direction during the 1930's?A. The development of new musical instruments.B. The audience s demand for more realistic art forms.C. The rising popularity of other types of entertainment.D. The greater acceptance of black performers by white audiences.26. In which period did musical theatre become more complex and dramatic?A. Pre - 1900.B. 1900- 1929.C.1940- 1949.D.1950- 1959.27. What can be reasonably inferred about the musical West Side Story?A. It told its story in a new way.B. It was based on a true story.C. It was a non-Broadway show.D. It was not very successful at first.CIn 1874 Francis Galton, a British professor, analysed a sample of English scientists and foundthe vast majority to be first-born sons. This led him to theorise that first-born children enjoyed aspecial level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellctually. Half acentury later Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality.First-born children, he suggested, were more diligent, while the later-born were more outgoing andemotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have beenvaried - some supporting and some rejecting the original conclusions.The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small - often limited to afew dozen individuals. This would be true even if the statistical methods needed to analyse the datawere simple, but they are not. Distinguishing birth-order effects from those caused by family sizecomplicates matters, meaning still bigger samples must be analysed to obtain meaningful results.To overcome the limitation of these earlier studies, German social scientist Dr. HelmetSchmukle and his colleagues analysed three huge sets of data from America, Britain and Germany.These data sets, though collected for other purposes, included personality and intelligence tests on20, 186 people at different stages of their lives. The American tests were on individuals aged between29 and 35. The British tests were conducted on 50-year-olds. The German tests ran the whole span ofadult life, from 18 to 98.Birth order, they found, had no effect on personality: first-borns were no more, nor less,likely than their younger siblings to be hardworking, outgoing or anxious. But it did affectintelligence. In a family with two children, the first child was more intelligent than the second60% of the time, rather than the 50% that would be expected by chance. On average, thistranslated to a difference of 1.5 IQ points between first and second siblings. That figure agreeswith previous studies, and thus looks confirmed.It is, nevertheless, quite a small difference - and whether it is enough to account for Galton'soriginal observation is unclear. In any event, it is certainly not deterministic. Galton was theyoungest of nine.28. Alfred Adler concluded that first-born children were.A. more stableB. more sociableC. more intelligentD. more hardworking29. What does the underlined“they" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The data.B. The analyses.C. The previous studies.D. The statistical methods.30. Why was Schmukle's study considered superior to previous research?A. It involved a wider age range.B. It had a much larger sample size.C. It included a larger number of countries.D. It was conducted over a longer period of time.31. Why does the author mention Galton's family background in the last paragraph?A. To confirm Galton's difficult upbringing.B. To suggest Galton's theory may not be correct.C. To compare his experience with Galton's parents.D. To explain why Galton was interested in birth order.DPhotography has opened our eyes to a multitude of beauties, things we literally could nothave seen before the invention of the frozen image. It has greatly expanded our notion of whatis beautiful, what is aesthetically(审美上) pleasing. Items formerly considered trivial, and notworth an artist's paint, have been revealed and honored by the photograph: things as ordinary as afence post, a chair, a vegetable. And as technology has developed, photographers have exploredcompletely new points of view: those of the microscope, the eagle, the cosmos.What is it that delights the human eye and allows us to claim that a photograph is beautiful?Photography depends on the trinity of light, composition, and moment. Light literally makes therecording of an image possible, but in the right hands, light in a photograph can make the image soar. The same is true with composition. What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of theframe is all that we will ever see - but that combination is vital. And the moment that the shutter ispressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When thethree - light, composition, and moment - are in balance, there is visual magic.Light, composition, and moment come together in a photograph to bring us the ultimatereality: a view of the world unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Before photography, thebasic artistic rules of painting were rarely broken. Images were made to please, not to capturereality. But as photography evolved, painterly rules were often reacted in the pursuit of fresh vision.Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad, and it was the accidental detail thatwas celebrated. Photography invited the world to see with new eyes - to see photographically - andall of the arts have drawn new inspiration from this change.With these basic aesthetic tools, photographers have evolved from scientists longing to“fix"an image - any image - to artistic revolutionaries. Photographs have created a new way of seeing,changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more democratic. They have given usvisual proof that the world is grander than we imagined, and that there is beauty, often overlooked,in nearly everything.32. Before the invention of photography, which of the following was least likely to appear in an artistic work?A. A great person.B. A lovely insect.C. A grand building.D. A beautiful landscape.33. What is the function of paragraph 2?A. To argue that photographic beauty is subjective.B. To explain the evolution of the concept of beauty.C. To describe the elements that make a successful photo.D. To illustrate different types of photographic techniques.34. How has photography affected other art forms?A. It has reduced their popularity.B. It has forced them to change their rules.C. It has changed their methods of composition.D. It has provided them with new points of view.35. What does the author mean by saying photography has“made art more demo cratic" ?A. It has expanded the concept of artistic beauty.B. It has challenged the status of traditional art forms.C. It has enabled the development of new artistic tools.D. It has allowed more people to take part in creative activities.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)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。

The Founding of Red Apple Lunch CompanyCThe Mona Lisa effect describes the phenomenon where the eyes in a portrait seem to follow the person looking at it, no matter where the person stands in the room. The effect was obviouslynamed after Leonardo da Vinci s famous painting featuring the woman with the mysterious smileand the steady stare. But ironically (讽刺地), a new study/ finds that Mona Lisa may not be allthat interested in tracking her observers. Two researchers from Bielefeld University in Germanyfound that the famous subject of the painting, also known, as "La Gioconda"，is actually lookingjust over your right shoulder.For the experiment , Horstmann and his research assistant Sebastian Loth gathered two dozenparticipants to take a look at the eyes of the painting. But they didn't just ask them if they thoughtMona Lisa was looking their way. Instead they displayed part of her face on a computer screen,then asked volunteers to measure her stare using a carpenter's ruler that was held horizontallybetween them and the screen.Although the computer screen and the participants stayed in the same spot, the ruler wasmoved closer and farther from the screen during the trial. In addition, the researchers modified thesize of Mona Lisa 's face and how much of her features were visible to see if that changed theperception of her stare. I he images showed varying degrees of rise一from 30 to70 percent withsome showing her entire face and others showing just her eyes and nose.The researchers also moved the images several centimeters to the left and to the right, so theParticipants wouldn’t just pick the same measurement on the ruler each time.Horstmann and Loth published their results in the journal i-perception where they were veryclear in their conclusion.“We conclude from the measurements that the; lack of evidences due tothe declaration being objectively false: Mona Lisa does not stare at the viewer ,” they bt about the existence of the Mona Lisa effect---it just does not occur withwrote.“There is no douMona Lisa herself.28.

In a rush to leave the house we grab ou phone6 a head out of the door, realizing all too late that the battery is dead because we forgot 1oprog it into the table cloth. Orperhaps we have not. But this could be be future that scientists hope to explore with eletr6nicsheets that charge our Mobile phones, laptops and other equipment by harvesting energy from theworld around us.In a step in that direction, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT)havecreated super- thin，bendy materials that absorb wireless Internet and other electromagnetic wavesin the air and turn them into electricity. The lead researcher, Tomas Palacios, said thebreakthrough smoothed the way for energy- harvesting covers ranging from table cloths to giantpacking for buildings that catch energy from the environment to power sensors and otherelectronics.Palacios and his colleagues connected a bendy antenna(天线)to a flexible semiconductor(半导体)layer only three atoms thick. The antenna picks up wifi and other radio frequency signalsand turns them into a current. This flows into a special semiconductor, where it is changed into adirect electrical current. Researchers have made energy-harvesting“rectennas ( rectifyingantenna )”before,but existing equipment is made from conventional semiconductors which are inflexible, fragile and practically impossible to make in large sheets.The wi-fi signals can fill an office with more than 100 microwatts of power that is ripe to becollected by energy-harvesting equipment. The MIT system has an efficiency (效率) of between30% and 40%，producing about 40 microwatts when exposed to signals bearing 150microwatts ofpower in laboratory tests.“It doesn't. sound like much compared with the 60watts that a computergn a wide range of sensors,needs, but you can still do a lot with it,” Palacios said. “ You can desifor environmental monitoring or chemical and biological sensing, which operate at the singlemicrowatt level.”Medical equipment is another potential application. Because wi-fi and similarradio-frequency signals pass through people, energy-harvesting covers could be applied toimplanted sensors to provide them with enough power to send out health data to an outsidereceiver.32. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phoneB. The door.C. The sheetD. The table.33. What is special about the new breakthrough?A. It can harvest wi-fi energy.B. It is super thin and flexible.C It can power all the electronicsD. It smooths the way of receiving signals34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A The team will focus on improving efficiency of the new equipment.B. A single device can harvest half of the energy in an office.C. Palacios is pleased with the fie of the new。
