湖北省重点高中协作体2018-2019学年高一英语上学期期中联考试题（扫描版）M: Well, why don’t you at least try to stop by for a little while?W: OK, then.(Text 3)W: I saw a good band at last Saturday’s rock festival. The singer was great!M: The band with the piano player?W: I didn’t see anything with a piano. The singer was called Queen Cat. She could really dance, too.M: Oh, I know what you mean —the band had three guitars.(Text 4)W: Which do you prefer, magazines or books?M: Um, I prefer reading magazines. Because I like a quick read.W: Yeah, you can pick them up and put them down just after a short reading. And they’re cheaper than books. And sometimes they have interesting ads.(Text 5)M: Can we have a double room, please?W: Certainly. With a bath or a shower?M: We prefer the room which has a shower.第二节(Text 6)M: How was your chemistry exam?W: I thought I was going to get a C in chemistry, but I got a B. My parents will be OK with that.M: You are lucky. I got a D in chemistry.W: Oh my gosh! Are your parents going to kill you?M: They know I hate chemistry. I told them not to expect good grades in chemistry, and they understand.W: You are so lucky you have understanding parents like them.(Text 7)M: Hello. I wonder if you could help me. Would you mind if I left my instrument for just one minute? I have to make a phone call.W: No. I’m sorry, sir. It’s not allowed.M: It’s only for a short time.W: It’s against the rules. No instruments can be left in reception for security reasons.M: Is there anywhere I can leave them?W: You can leave it at the bag office on the left.M: Where’s that?W: It’s next to the dining room.M: OK. Thanks.(Text 8)W: And just to finish our news —Chris Peterson is going to tell us about the new Crossways sports and fitness center.M: Thanks. It’s almost finished and the sports center will be open to the public on June 16th —that’s for sports and swimming. The fitness center isn’t quite finished, and won’t be open until 21st August, instead of 10th July as planned.W: And will you give us some information now about what we can do in the sports center?M: Sure. The center provides volleyball, basketball and table tennis indoors. And there are also outdoor sports like football and tennis. There’s also a new swimming pool.W: OK, thank you for your report, Chris.(Text 9)M: Hey, Judy, what are you reading?W: Well, a passage about wildlife protection organizations.M: Really? I’ve read something about the World Wildlife Fund, you know, whose official sign is a picture of a panda.W: Yeah. It has been working to protect the world’s endangered species since it was founded in 1961. You know there are organizations who focus on certain animals.M: Really? That’s interesting.W: Here it says the Audubon Society focuses on the protection of birds and the Oceanic Society has been working to protect sea wildlife, such as whales, dolphins and other kinds of fish since its foundation in 1969.M: Oh, I know the Audubon Society is named after an American wildlife painter.W: Yes, that’s right. There’s also this one, the Wilderness Society, who works to make sure that the forests, rivers and mountains of the United States remain untouched so that everyone can enjoy their clean air and water. The Wilderness Society tries to educate the public about that from its head office in Washington, D.C. to its eight branch offices across the United States.(Text 10)W: Hello, everyone. My name is Caroline Benson. I never expected to spend some of my first year at university filming The Finnegans. I’d only ever acted at school, but I’d loved the book since I was eleven. My grandmother used to say I was just like Polly Finnegan and I always imagined myself playing her. And I believe I could play the part well. I’d taken a year off to go traveling before university. While I was in Chile, my mother e-mailed me to say there were plans to turn the book into a film. I knew Ihad to go for the part. She was surprised at first, but sent my photo to the director and persuaded him to meet me. I flew back and got the part. The outdoor filming took a long time, so I got permission from the university to be away for three weeks. Once I was back at university, I got up at 6:00 a.m. to write the essays I’d missed. I didn’t tell my university friends, but they found out and thought it was great. It was a wonderful experience —I’m so lucky.试题答案:1 – 5 CACCB 6 - 10 BCACB 11-15 CABAA 16-20 CABAB21-23 BDA 24-27 AADD 28-31 CBCB 32-35 BCBD 36-40 CGAED41-45 BCABD 46-50 ACDBA 51-55 DACBD 56-60 CABDC61. while/but 62. suggested 63. which 64. falling 65. is called66. a 67.

AAi-Petri Bridges, CrimeaThe views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very foggy (多雾的), so you may not be able to enjoy the views!U Bein Bridge, MyanmarThis five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it’s certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!The Trift Bridge, SwitzerlandAt 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bri dge, you’d better do it quickly!The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, PakistanIn the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridg e. It’s one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school ——imaginelosing your homework over the side of this bridge! It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙)between them. Step carefully!1. What can we learn about U Bein Bridge?A. It’s very popular at sunset.B. It’s very safe for people to cross.C. It’s the oldest bridge in the world. D It’s made from rope with some old wood.2. Which of the following can be crossed to go to school?A. U Bein Bridge.B. Ai-Petri Bridges.C. The Trift Bridge.D. The Hussaini Hanging Bridge.3. What do the bridges mentioned in the text have in common?A. All are kept in good condition.B. All have a history of one century.C. All require plenty of courage to cross.D. All are the highest in their country.BAnjali Mishra is a rising junior at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon. At 17, she is president and founder of her school’s UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund)USA club, and a member of UNICEF’s national council (委员会). She also volunteers her time in different communities.How did Anjali develop such a passion (热情) for helping others? When she was a freshman, she had an experience that greatly changed her attitude. She was invite d to a cousin’s wedding in India.“My mom kind of forced me to go,” Anjali says. “When I saw children on the street, I realized how lucky I was as a child. I was able to get whatever I wanted, and my every need was satisfied.”Anjali asked herself: “What c an I do to help? UNICEF stood out to me because it’s always on the front lines helping children in need.”After starting a UNICEF club at her school, Anjali noticed that the community responded actively. She took things a step further by applying to UNICEF’s national council.“UNICEF really liked my work,” she says. “Out of 3,000 applicants, they chose 6 high school students to be on the national council, and I was one of them.”As a member of the council, Anjali helps organize high school UNICEF clubs around the country and provide resources so that the clubs can manage themselves.The teen also founded an organization called “Activists United.” Members educate people on the dangers of guns. Anjali encourages other kids to start local clubs and organization s, too. “It takesa lot of effort, but you can get it done if you’re passionate,” she says.4. Why did Anjali go to India?A. To be a volunteer.B. To see her mother.C. To spend a holiday.D. To attend a wedding.5. What has led Anjali to set up the UNICEF USA club?A. Her mother’s suggestion.B. Her volunteer experience.C. The situation faced by poor children.D. The encouragement from her cousin.6. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. 3,000 applicants.B. UNICEF officers.C. 6 high school students.D. Founders of UNICEF’s national council.7. What does the organization “Activists United” do?A. It educates people on gun safety.B. It raises money for children in need.C. It helps kids start local organizations.D. It provides support for UNICEF clubs.CSmartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned (禁止) at school for all children under 15 in France. Under the ban students are not able to use their phones at all during school hours, including meal breaks.“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,” Paris mum Marie-Caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see an d that’s one of the things that worry me as a parent.”There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.McKinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.McKinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they’re not allowed to use social media. Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned (抱怨) ,” but now they’re seeing the advantages. “They come to school and they’re not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, inclu ding lunch breaks,” she said.“It’s been wonderful in terms of students communicating with each other at lunchtime and not looking at their screen,” she said.Ms Binnion also leads by example and doesn’t use her mobile phone in school. “I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it.”Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in online magazine The Conversation earlier this year that Australia should not ban phones in schools because it’s important to educate kids to live in the age they are raised in.“A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas,”she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2018 state-of-play.”8. Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?A. School is for studying. B Kids behave badly nowadays.C. Teachers find it hard to control kids. D Her kids depend too much on phones.9. What can we learn about the ban in McKinnon Secondary School?A. Some teachers were against it at first.B. Students can now see the good of the ban.C. Students can use their phones at lunch beaks.D. Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well.10. What does the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?A. A book.B. A notebook.C. A learning website.D. A kind of computer.11. What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?A. It will disconnect parents and kids.B. It will cause kids to communicate less.C. It will prevent kids being tech-minded.D. It will make education go back 60 years.DI recently posted a picture on Facebook from the movie Mad Max, a film where two groups race through the desert in steampunk vehicles, and wrote, “Actual picture of my way to work today.” It was meant to be a joke because of the sandstorms in Beijing, but one of my friends from back home thought it was real.I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”China seems to be leading the way in innovation(创新) and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers.Splitting bills and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.The list goes on…When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”While my friends think I am riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a Didi for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.12. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?A. To introduce a movie.B. To introduce the topic.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To show the weather in Beijing.13. How did the author feel when he first came to Beijing?A. He didn’t want to stay long.B. He couldn’t stand the weather.C. He never wanted to go back home.D. He was amazed at the bike sharing.14. What can we infer from the text?A. China is the first country to start bike sharing.B. The author has become used to mobile payment in China.C. People always use WeChat to pay when eating out in the US.D. The author’s friends all know the convenience of living in China.15. What does the text intend to tell us?A. Bike sharing has spread all over China.B. Foreigners have misunderstandings of China.C. Life in foreign countries is not as easy as we thought.D. Technology has brought much convenience in China.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。

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing. Your 50 of the world and, more importantly, of yourself will forever be changed!36．A. always B. rarely C. never D. nearly37．A. pointing B. applying C. turning D. spreading38．A. hard B. relaxing C. unfamiliar D. exciting39．A. some B. both C. more D. none40．A. report B. record C. recall D. consider41．A. held B. missed C. attended D. mentioned42．A. inspired B. disturbed C. embarrassed D. amused43．A. participate B. finish C. win D. run44．A. agree with B. rely on C. care for D. believe in45．A. confidence B. pleasure C. satisfaction D. motivation46．A. last B. first C. only D. second47．A. test B. identify C. imagine D. reach48．A. knowledge B. request C. principle D. experience49．A. bigger B. brighter C. clearer D. nicer50．A. view B. love C. description D. memoryⅤ．单词拼写（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）请用Welcome Unit～U4所学单词填空。

On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old JiaHaixia and JiaWenqi!Their story began in2000,when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decidedto team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee.Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals.In addition,it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant,the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfectbranch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it.Finally Wenqi waters the area.Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together,they already have everything they need--- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!25.Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together。

That is perhaps why sculpture has been described as the most difficult of all arts; certainly it is more difficult than the arts which involve __49__ of flat forms, shape in only two dimensions. Many more people are ‘form-blind’ than color-blind. Children learning to see, first distinguishes only two-dimensional shape; it cannot judge distances, depths. Later, for their personal safety and practical needs, they have to develop partly by __50__ of touch, the ability to judge roughly three-dimensional distances. But after they __51__ the requirements of practical necessity, most people go no further. Though they may __52__ considerable accuracy in the perception(知觉，感知) of flat form, they do not make the further intellectual and emotional effort needed to __53__ form in its full spatial existence.This is what the sculptor must do. He must __54__ continually to think of, and use, form in its full spatial completeness. He gets the solid shape, as it were, inside his head-he thinks of it, whatever its size, as if he were holding it completely in the hollow of his hand. He __55__ visualizes a complex form from all round itself; he knows while he looks at one side what the other side is like, he will have to __56__ himself with its centre of gravity, its mass, its weight; and he realizes its volume, as the space that the shape displaces in the air.And the sensitive observer of sculpture must also learn to feel shape simply as __57__, not as description or reminiscence(回忆，联想). He must, for example, see an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the __58__ idea that it will become a bird. And so withsolids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone. From these he can go on to appreciate more complex forms of combinations of several forms.(B)A. expertB. introducedC. characterD. separation AB. establishedAC. variety AD. admired BC. complexity BD. fascinated CD. originalsABC. regardedClassical Roman dramaFollowing the expansion of the Roman Republic into several Greek territories between 270-240 BC, Rome encountered Greek drama. From the later years of the republic and by means of the Roman Empire, theatre spread west across Europe and reached England; Roman theatre was more varied, extensive and sophisticated than that of any culture before it.While Greek drama continued to be performed throughout the Roman period, the year 240 BC marks the beginning of regular Roman drama. From the beginning of the empire, however, interest in full-length drama declined in favor of a broader __59__ of theatrical entertainments. The first important works of Roman literature were the tragedies and comedies that Livius Andronicus wrote from 240 BC. Five years later, Gnaeus Naevius also began to write drama. No plays from either writer have survived. Andronicus was most appreciated for his tragedies and Naevius for his comedies; their successors(继任者) tended to be __60__ at one or the other, which led to a(n) __61__ of the subsequent development of each type of drama.By the beginning of the 2nd century BC, drama was firmly __62__ in Rome and an association of writers had been formed. The Roman comedies that have survived are all “fabula palliate” (comedies based on Greek subjects) and come from two dramatists: Plautus and Terence. In re-working the Greek __63__, the Roman comic dramatists abolished the role of the chorus(合唱) in dividing the drama into episodes and __64__ musical accompaniment to its dialogue. The action of all scenes is set in the street and its complications often follow from eavesdropping(偷听).Plautus, the more popular of the two, wrote between 205 and 184 BC and twenty of his comedies survive; people __65__ him for the wisdom of his dialogue and his use of various poetic meters. All of the six comedies that Terence wrote between 166 and 160 BC have survived; the __66__ of his plots, in which he often combined several Greek stories, was sometimes criticized, but his double-plots enabled a sophisticated presentation of contrasting human behavior. No early Roman tragedy survives, though it was highly __67__ in its day; historians know of three early tragedians—Quintus Ennius, Marcus Pacuvius, and Lucius Accius.From the time of the empire, the work of two tragedians survives—one is an unknown author, while the other is the philosopher Seneca. Nine of Seneca’s tragedies survive, all of which are tragedies from Greek stories. Historians do not know who wrote the only extant example of the fabula praetexta (tragedies based on Roman subjects), Octavia, but in former times it was mistakenly attributed to Seneca due to his appearance as a(n) __68__ in the tragedy.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AWar Peace, epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, originally published as “Voyna i mir” in 1865-69. This overall study of early 19th-century Russian society noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis, __69__ as one of the world’s greatest novels. It has been widely __70__ for the stage, film, and television. Among the most notable film versions is that directed by Sergey Bondarchuk, which won an Academy Award in 1968.War and Peace is primarily __71__ with the histories of five aristocratic(贵族的) families--__72__ the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed __73__ a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon. Tolstoy uses their individual stories to portray Russia on the edge of a disastrous conflict with Napoleon’s France. Events swiftly move the central characters toward this inevitable war. No other writer is better than Tolstoy in the scale of his epic vision, which shows the mood of whole cities, the movement of armies, and the sense of coming __74__ of the entire society. Moreover, the interconnected nature of the personal and the political is __75__ explored. As Tolstoy examines his characters’ emotional reactions to the rapidly changing circumstances in which they find themselves, he uses them to represent Russian society’s responses to the demands of both war and peace.The theme of war, __76__, is not so important as the story of family life, which __77__ Tolstoy’s optimistic belief in the life-affirming(积极向上的) pattern of human existence. The heroine, Natasha Rostova, __78__, reaches her greatest fulfillment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and through motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a __79__ of free choice; all is ruled by an inevitable historical determinism(决定论).War and Peace is one of those few texts – James Joyce’s Ulysses is another – that are atoo often read as some kind of __80__ test, only to be either abandoned halfway or displayed as a victory, never to be touched again. It is indeed very long, but it is a novel that is truly worth close attention and re-reading. Like the movies of Andrei Tarkovsky, whose life and thoughts were greatly __81__ by Tolstoy, once you enter into his Russia, you will not want to leave: and in this __82__, the length of the text becomes a virtue, since there is simply more of it to read. Tolstoy may be unjustly famed for his ability to talk off the point, but to sacrifice the unity of the full novel for a short version of the text is to __83__ the reading experience.69.

As a key figure of the High Renaissance, he is specifically celebrated for his ambitious approach to scale and his expertise on anatomy(解刨). While all of his masterworks convey his undeniable talent, his world-famous fresco(湿壁画) on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel stands above the rest.Painted for the pope, the composition depicts a range of religious iconography(象征手法) in Michelangelo’s distinctive style, making it one of the most cherished masterpieces in the world.The Sistine Chapel is a large chapel named after Pope Sixtus IV, who oversaw its restoration in the late 15th century. Historically, the chapel has had various important functions. Today, it still possesses its religious role, as it serves as the site where the next pope is elected.What the Sistine Chapel is most well-known for, however, is its ceiling. Painted by Florentine fine artist Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni between 1508 and 1512, the complex and colorful fresco is celebrated for its realistic figures, vast size, and innovative process.By the early 16th century, Michelangelo were a respected artist known throughout Italy. He was particularly praised for his ability—both in painting and sculpture—figures with lifelike anatomical features, as evident in his famous David statue from 1504. Given the artist’s reputation, it is no surprise that Pope Julius ordered him to decorate the ceiling of Sistine Chapel, whose walls were already decorated with frescoes by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Perugino, and other famed artists.While the pope’s plans for the ceiling was centered around a depiction of the 12 apostles(门徒), Michelangelo had bigger plans: he would paint several scenes in Bible featuring over 300 figures.Like many other Italian Renaissance painters, he used a fresco technique, meaning he applied washes of paint to wet plaster(石灰泥). In order to create an illusion of depth, Michelangelo would remove some of the wet medium prior to painting. This method ended in visible “outlines” around his figures—a detail considered characteristic of the artist. As plaster dries quickly, Michelangelo worked in sections, applying planes of fresh plaster each day.Today, the Sistine Chapel remains both a popular tourist destination and highly religious site. Roughly 25,000 people view the spectacular ceiling each day, proving the lasting legacy of one of Michelangelo’s most well-known works and of the striking art of the High Renaissance.84.From paragraph 1, we know that Michelangelo ________.A. had a good knowledge of buildingB. had a particularly ambitious life goalC. was expert at sculptingD. stood above the chapel while painting85.Fresco painted by Michelangelo stands out for the following characteristics EXCEPT that _______.A. its production procedures are creativeB. the figures shown in the fresco are lifelikeC. it is large in size painted in black and whiteD. it shows a number of scenes in the Bible86.In making the fresco, Michelangelo would _______.A. create outlines around the figures in itB. apply all the fresh plaster in the beginningC. remove some paint from the wet plasterD. avoid making an illusion of depth87.Which one of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The Sistine Chapel, named after Pope Sixtus IV, was built up in the late 15th century.B. The ceiling had partly been painted by other artists before Michelangelo started.C. It was at the age of 33 that Michelangelo finished the seemingly impossible task.D. The chapel maintained its religious function apart from being a scenic spot.(B)Italy has produced many brilliant minds who have made their mark on art history. During the Renaissance(文艺复兴), the Italian city-states were at the center of an incredible flowering of visual culture that would not only influence generations onward but would also redefine what it meant to be an artist. Painters and sculptors came to be seen not only as craftsmen, but also men of learning who could express something deeply personal. Then came the drama and intensity of the Baroque artists. Modern times brought more change, some artists explored deeply into their medium while others turned to political and social issues. All along the way, there were standout personalities who illuminated the concerns of their time. Check out some of the most interesting figures in Italian art.Leonardo da VinciMuch has been said about this true Renaissance man, who was not only a painter but a mathematician, scientist, engineer, inventor, architect and much, much more. His endless curiosity and imagination led him to dream up machines that were far ahead of his time, study anatomy(解刨学) in brand-new ways and, of course, create paintings and drawings that would impress people for many centuries. In his paintings, there is an overwhelming sense of the mystery of existence – the mystery that he sought to chase and understand.Michelangelo BuonarottiIn many ways, Michelangelo defined what it means to be an artist. Though he’s known for his paintings, he considered himself first and foremost a sculptor. Born and raised in a little town, he grew up to be a master of anatomy. He used the straining and twisting muscles of the human body to express his powerful vision of the world. His design of the Laurentian Library pioneered Mannerist architecture.Giovanni BelliniBellini was the Venetian of the Renaissance who took the medium of oil painting to a new expressive capacity. He was the pioneer of a technique where the colors were gradually built up in thin, translucent(半透明) layers. The end result is glossy, rich and shining like no other. In his paintings, you’ll find a kind of peaceful silence, lighted by gorgeous colors that seem to be lit from within.Artemisia GentileschiArtemisia is one of the great boundary-breaking painters of the Baroque era. Female artists of her time were confined to still life paintings and portraits, because it was considered improper for women to paint from the nude figure. But Artemisia wouldn’t let that stop her. At just 17, she broke taboos with her painting of Susanna and the Elders, in which she proudly displays a full-frontal nude(裸体) in the center of the frame. She was raped two years later by another painter and experienced physical sufferings during the investigation of the trial, but her struggles only fueled her artistic production as she turned out painting after painting of strong, defiant women.88.Which of the following group is the common point of the works of the artists mentioned above?A. Pioneer and originalB. Conservative but pioneerC. Powerful and beautifulD. Mysterious but direct89.What does “defiant” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. admirableB. challengingC. disrespectfulD. obedient90.Which one of the following statement is FALSE according to the passage?A. Giovanni was expert at making use of colors and was also a leader in artistic expression.B. As a master of anatomy, Michelangelo handled human bodies very well in his works.C. Despite their amazing sculptures, sculptors were seen as craftsman during the Renaissance.D. Leonardo da Vinci was curious and imaginative enough to stand ahead of his times.(C)“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone as 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeed, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring — or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, he and the A&M team has failed over and over again. The wastage of eggs and the many fetuses（胎）may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’s put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M’s research.Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and super-smart. Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”91.By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin and A&M team attempt to ________.A. figure out the possibility of human cloningB. find out the differences between Missy and its cloneC. study why the prototype, Missy, is so athletic and smartD. show their love for lovely Missy since it has passed away92.It can be seen from the passage that dog cloning _________.A. was conducted long before the sheep cloningB. has gained an unexpected cold response from the societyC. has posed a great financial challenge to WesthusinD. can generate an enormous wealth of economic returns93.What is Westhusin’s attitude towards what he is doing?A. CarefulB. OptimisticC. PassiveD. Indifferent94.What can be learned from the passage?A. Current cloning techniques have proved quite adequate for human cloning.B. The outcome of Westhusin’s dog cloning project remains uncertain.C. Dangerous as it is, cloning is an incredibly efficient method.D. Westhusin thought it an interesting attempt to clone human beings.第II卷I.
