But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.Some of Picasso’s paintings are rich, soft coloured and beautiful. Others are u gly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look beneath the surface of the things we see.Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye sees. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”.1.

He thinks some of them are valuable, some are not.C. He admires them, including the ugly ones.D. He doesn’t like some of them, but he admires the paintBAtomic(原子的) energy is a great discovery of last century and many people have played a part in its development. Albert Einstein told the world about its basic idea in his famous Theory of Relativity in 1905. As he and other scientists began to discover more about the atom, they learned that a great amount of energy could be released (释放)by splitting an atom.

The author was Agatha Christie, a gentle married lady and one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia.Doctors were unable to diagnose the cause of her illness with confidence, so she was flown to London and admitted to Hammersmith Hospital, where specialist help was available. She was then only semi-conscious(半昏迷)and on the “Dangerously Ill”list. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were baffled(使受阻) by the very unusual symptoms. While they were discussing the baby’s case, a nurse asked to speak to them.“Excuse me,” said Nurse Marsha Maitland, “but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning.”“What makes you think that?” Dr. Brown asked. “Thallium poisoning is extremely rare.”“A few days ago,I was reading a novel called A Pale Horse by Agatha Christie,”Nurse Maitland explained. “In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are desc ribed. They’re exactly the same as the baby’s.”“You’re very observant and you may be right,” another doctor said. “We’ll carry out some tests and find out whether it’s thallium or not.”The tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making optical(光学的)glass. Once they knew the cause of illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Enquiries revealed that the poison might have come from an insecticide used in Qatar.31. Who first suggested the correct cause of the baby’s illness?A. A doctor in Qatar.B. Nurse Maitland.C.

Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.36. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ________.A.children will get fatter if they eat too muchB.children will get thinner if they eat lessC.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TVD.children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV37.

They believe politicians could learn a lot from recent advances in science. A growing number of studies have shown that people do judge a book by its coven Researchers say most of us make quick judgments about a person on the basis of how they look.Studies suggest that people are less likely to trust those with particularly masculine (男性的)features, such as a square jaw, small eyes or a big nose. "They are considered dominant (支配的) and less trustworthy," says Ms Cornwell "It doesn't mean that men who look more masculine are less trustworthy ——it's just our first impression." Those with less masculine features——larger eyes, a smaller nose and thinner lips--- are thought to be more trustworthy.The researchers are putting their science to the test at the Royal Society's annual summer exhibition in London. They nave manipulated (复制) the faces of Prime Minister Tony Blair, Conservative leader Michael Howard and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kenney accentuating (强调) their dominant and trustworthy features. "We have used a computer program to change the shape of their faces and features. We hope it will help people to understand our work."So should we expect to see them at the exhibition getting tips?"I don't think it's something they will want to try," says Ms Cornwell. "It's not really possible with television. We all know what they look like."36. According to the passage, which of the following descriptions will give people a good first impression?A. A square jaw, small eyes and a small nose.B. Larger eyes, a small nose and a big face.C. Larger eyes, a small nose and thinner lips.D. A small nose, smaller eyes and thick lips.37. The underlined word "them "in Paragraph 5 refers to __________.A. the researchersB. Tony Blair, Michael Howard and Charles KennedyC. their featuresD. computer programs38. According to the passage, we know that _________.A. people with good facial features must be trustworthyB. people with bad facial features could not be trustworthyC. we should judge people by their facial featuresD. facial features might give people some wrong impressions39. According to Ms Cornwell, we can infer that _________.A. the science will give politicians great helpB. politicians could be successful with the help of the scienceC. politicians won't think highly of the scienceD. politicians will be satisfied with the science40. What's the best title for the passage?A. How Science Could Help PoliticiansB. How to Win the Trust of V otersC. The Other Sides of PoliticiansD.

So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the c hild. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet .Of course, she’s only three…”“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”“Er, well—” the woman looked at the child. “I mean… she hasn’t starte d school yet. She’s only four.”“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs …let me see…£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe £1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.26.Harry was worried because ___ .A.the woman was angry with him B.he had not done his work properlyC.the Jersey timetable was wrong D.the little girl didn’t have a return ticket 27.Harry started talking to the little girl .A.because he was in difficulty and did not know what to doB.because he had a little girl about the same age as this girlC.because he wanted to be friendly to the little girl who looked so niceD.when he suddenly realized that he could find a way out from the little girl 28.When Harry said, “The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…” he meant that .A.they must follow it without other choice ,even though the fault was hisB.he had to be strict with the woman because of the law,though he didn’t want to C.the woman had to pay him £1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotelD.she should pay £1.50, but he had made a mistake, she could go without paying 29.The woman left the office without saying anything because .A.she wanted to go home and get money for the child’s ticketB.she was so angry that she didn’t w ant to have anything more to do with the young manC.she was moved by Harry’s kindnessD.she knew she would have to pay the railway if she insisted30.How did the woman feel when she left the office?A. angryB. peacefulC. embarrassedD. nervousBIn the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he i s. That is what“Keeping up with the Joneses”is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York Ciry. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses. Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”,because “Jones”is a very common name in the United States.“Keeping up with the Joneses”came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right”books, go to the “right”universities and eat in the“right”restaurants.Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are“Joneses”in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr Jones seems always to be ahead.31.The writer of the passage believes ______.A.anyone in the United States can become rich but might be poor soonB.anyone in the United States can become rich if he works hard and has good luck C.he can become rich in the future though he is not lucky enoughD.anyone in the United States who works hard can become rich32.It can be inferred from the story that rich people ______A.like to live outside New York CityB.like to live in New York CityC.like to live in apartmentsD.like to have many neighbors33.Arthur Momand used the n ame“Jones”in his series of short stories because Jones is ______.A.an important name B.a popular name in the United StatesC.his neighbor's name D.not a good name34.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because ______.A.they want to be as rich as their neighborsB.they want others to know or to think that they are richC.they don't want others to know they are richD.they want to be happy趣味英语:Q: What's the difference between a monkey and a flea?A: A monkey can have fleas, but a flea can't have monkeys.猴子会和跳蚤有什么不同呢?你可能会直接的想到它们俩是一大一小。

Suddenly a tall strong truck driver sat down next to him, took the man’s drink and drank it. The poor little fellow burst o ut crying. “Oh, come on, pal,” the trucker said. “I was just joking. Here, I’ll buy you another.”“No, that’s not it.” The man cried. “This has been the worst day of my life. I was late for work and got fired. When I left the office I found that my car had been stolen, so I walked six miles home. Then I found my wife with another man, so I picked up my wallet and came here. And justwhen I’m about to end it all, ” the guy said, sobbing “you show up and drink my poison.”读一读Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekkends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Alhough our times togethr became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A.

HenryMany artists live in a certain part of New York City. Most of the buildings in this part are very old, and it is easy for poor artists to find rooms that they like.Sue was a young woman who was studying art. One day in May, she met at a restaurant another young woman artist whose name was Joan.There they found that they liked the same kind of art, the same kind of food, and the same kind of clothes. So they started to live and work together. They loved each other just like two sisters.In November, pneumonia(肺炎) came to that part of the city. Many people caught it, and Joan was among them. She lay still in her bed all day, and looked from time to time through the window at the wall of the next house.One morning the doctor spoke to Sue in the hall when they were alone. He told her that Joan had a very poor chance to get well again.“She will have a chance only if she has a strong will to live,” said the doctor. “But she has decided that she isn’t going to get well.”The doctor said to Sue, “I’ll do all I can. But you will also have to do your best to give her a strong will to live. Talk to her about new winter clothes, or picnics in the woods next spring. If she gets interested in the future, her chances will be better.”The doctor left. Then Sue went into Joan’s room and began drawing a picture with pen and ink.While Sue was drawing, Joan said something in a faint voice. Sue went quickly to the side of her bed. Joan’s eyes were wide open. She was looking out of the window and was counting something.“Twelve,” said Joan. A little later she said, “Eleven, …ten, … nine, …eight, …seven.”Sue looked out. There was a wall covered with an old vine(藤) growing half way up it.“Six,” said Joan after a little while. “They are falling faster now. During the past three days almost a hundred have fallen. And now there are only six. There goes another. Only five are left now.”“Five what, dear? Tell me, Joan.”“Five leaves,” said Joan. “When the last leaf falls, I must go, too. The doctor told you that I would die soon, didn’t he?”“Don’t be silly ”said Sue. “He said that you would soon get well.”“There goes another,” said Joan. “I know the last leaf will fall before dark. I want to see it when it falls.”“Joan,” said Sue. “Shut your eyes and go to sleep. I’ll go and ask Behrman to come up and sit here as my model.”Behrman was a poor artist who was over sixty years old. He always said that some day he would paint a great masterpiece. When Sue went into his room, he was alone, drinking. She told him about Joan and the leaves on the vine.“What! ” shouted the old man. “Do people die because leaves fall from a tree? I’ve never heard such a silly thing. Just take me to her room.”Joan was sleeping when they went in. A cold rain was falling, mixed in the rain was snow.The next morning Joan wanted Sue to pull up the shade(遮光帘).There still was one yellow leaf at the end of a branch!“It’s the last leaf,” said Joan. “It will fall today, and I’ll go with it.”When night came, the rain began to fall again with a strong wind.Another morning came. Sue pulled up the shade. The lonely leaf was still there! Joan looked at it for a long time. Then she said to Sue, “I’ve been a bad girl, Sue. I’ve learned from that leaf that it’s wrong to decide to die. Now I want to get well and paint again.”The doctor came to see Joan in the afternoon. Sue followed him into the hall and asked him, “Does Joan have any chance?”“Yes, she does. She’ll get well before long if you give her good care.” Said the doctor. “And now I must see another case downstairs. His name is Berman. He’s an artist. Pneumonia, too. He’s very ill. There’s little hope for him. We’re going to take him to the hospital. ”When Sue met the doctor the next morning, he said to her, “Your friend is safe now. All she needs is food and care. You’ve done it!”In the evening Sue came to Joan’s bed.“I have something to tell you,”said Sue. “Mr. Berman died of pneumonia in the hospital today. He was ill only two days. When someone went into his room on the morning of the first day, Behrman was lying there with his shoes on. His shoes and clothes were all wet and as cold as ice. Nobody knew why.”“Oh, poor Behrman!” cried Joan.“Look out of the window at the last leaf on the wall, ” said Sue. “It looks like a real leaf, doesn’t it?”“A real leaf?”“It’s Behrman’s great masterpiece. When the last leaf fell that night, he painted it there in its place.”演练12答案练一练:1—5 BCCCA 6—10 CDBAB 11—15 CBACA 16—20 DBCCD猜一猜:根据谜面可推知:第一个字母是“s或n或o或w”,第二个字母是“r或e”,第三个字母是“a或r”。
