She said: “It doesn’t look to me like they’re lost. The drivers undergo training so they know how to use the equipment and it looks like this might more likely be what they’re doing.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Surprising new research suggests it can actually be good to feel bad at work, and that feeling good in the workplace can lead to negative outcomes.The study of emotions in the workplace, edited by University of Liverpool researchers Drs. Dirk Lindebaum and Peter Jordan, is the 51 of a Special Issue of the journal Human Relations.They found that the 52 held assumption that positivity in the workplace produces positive outcomes, while negative emotions lead to negative outcomes, may be in need for 53 . This is partly due to this assumption 54 to take into account the differences in work contexts which effect outcomes.For instance, anger does not always lead to negative outcomes and can be used as a force for good through acting upon injustices. In some 55 , anger can be considered a force for good if motivated by perceived violations(违背)of moral standards. An employee, for example, could express anger constructively after a manager has treated a fellow worker 56 . In such cases, anger can be useful to 57 these acts of injustice from repeating themselves in the future.Likewise, being too positive in the workplace, 58 resulting in greater well-being and greater productivity, can lead to self-satisfaction and superficiality(肤浅).One article within the issue also finds that, within team situations, negativity can have a good effect, leading to less 59 and therefore greater discussion among workers which 60 team effectiveness.An interesting contradiction(矛盾) is identified in another study of the special issue. Here, people gain 61 from doing “good” in the context of helplines by providing support to people in times of emotional distress. 62 , they are negatively affected by their line of work due to people trying to avoid them in social situations.Lindebaum said, “The findings of the studies published in this Special Issue 63 the widely held assumption that in the workplace positive emotions 64 a positive outcome, and vice verse. This Special Issue adds to our knowledge and understanding of how the positive and negative emotions affect the 65 environment and has practical application and relevance in the workplace.”51.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read(A)The term “resume”means a document describing one’s educational qualitifications and professional experience. However guidelines for preparing a global resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The following list is a good place to start.* In many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your resume. Do not attach a photograph to your resume if you are sending it to the United States, though.* Educational requirements differ from country to country. In most case of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.* Pay attention to the resume format(格式) you use--chronological(时间的) or revers-chronological order. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the revers-chronological format,which means listing your current or most recent experience first.* The level of computer technology and accessibility to the Internet varies from country to country. Even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email. Send a paper copy of your resume , as well as the emailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.* If you are writing your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions.* Although English is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational companies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to English. Have your resume prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. Most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.* Be aware that paper sizes are different countries. The United States standard is 81/2 by 11 inches, while the European A4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters.When you send your resume by email, reformat it to the receiver’s standard. Otherwise, when it is printed out,half of your material may be missing.66. The passage is most probably intended for ______ .A. Job hunters that seek careers abroadB. Companies that do international businessC. People that are employed by companies overseasD. Graduates that can speak over one foreign language67. Which of the following is always advisable when a global resume is prepared according to the passage ?A. Write it in American English.B. Prepare it in at least three languagesC. Attach or print your photo on it.D. Send both a paper and emailed copy.68. From the passage, we learn that ______.A. We can’t list the oldest experience first in a resumeB. Asian countries may have the same standard paper sizeC. A resume can help us know about a person’s personalityD. A person’s educational background should be included in a resume69. The passage mainly wants to tell us that a global resume should ______.A. Be highly professionalB. Be especially informativeC. Be culturally appropriateD. Be logically chronological(B)70.

Buy their tickets on the busC. Buy the tickets onlineD. Buy their tickets in advance(C)Researchers are reporting the first treatment to speed recovery from severe brain injuriescaused by falls and car crashes: a cheap flu medicine--amantadine, whose side benefits were discovered by accident decades ago.Severely injured patients in the United States, Denmark and Germany who were given amantadine got better faster than those who received another medicine. After four weeks, more people in the flu drug group could give reliable yes-and-no answers, follow commands or use a spoon or hairbrush--things that none of them could do at the start. Far fewer patients who got amantadine remained in a vegetative state, 17 percent versus 32 percent.“This drug moved the needle in terms of speeding patient recovery, and that’s not been shown before,”said neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) Joseph Giacino of Boston’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, co-leader of study. He added:“It really does provide hope for a population that is viewed in many places as hopeless.”Many doctors began using amantadine for brain injures years ago, but until now there’s never been a big study to show that it works. The results of the federally(联邦地) funded study appear in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine.A neuropsychologist(神经心理学家) who wasn’t involved in the research called it an important step. But many questions remain, including whether people less severely injured would benefit, and whether amantadine actually improves patients’ long-term outcome or just speeds up their recovery.Each year, an estimated 1.7 million American suffer a brain injury. With no proven treatment to rely on, doctors have used a variety of medicines approved for other disease in the hopes that they would help brain injury patients. Those decisions are based on “guesses and logic rather than data” said Dr. John Whyte, of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in suburban Philadelphia. He led the study along with Giacino.Amantadine, an inexpensive medicine, was approved for the flu in the mid-1960s. The first hint that it might have other uses came a few years later when it appeared to improve Parkinson’s symptoms in nursing home patients. It was found to have an effect on the brain’s doparmine system(多巴胺系统), whose function include movement and alertness, and it was later approved for Parkinson’s.It’s now commonly used for brain injuries, and the researchers felt it was important to find out “whether we’re treating patients with a useful drug, a harmful drug or a useless drug,” Whyte said.74. According to Paragraph 1, the patients in a vegetative state may be those who ______.A. Can follow simple ordersB. Recover faster than expectedC. Can’t breathe on their ownD. Show no sign of brain activities75. According to the passage, Amantadine is a medicine that ______.A. Is useful for flu onlyB. Is aimed to improve memoryC. Speeds up brain injury recoveryD. Benefits patients’ brain injuries in the long run76. The aim of the study led by Giacino and Whyte is to ______.A. Get enough fund from the federal governmentB. Prove the effect of Amantadine on brain injuriesC. Publish its results in New England Journal of MedicineD. Provide hope for patients considered hopeless in the past77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage ?A. Old Drug,Proven Side BenefitB. Medical Study, New DiscoveryC. Severe Brain Injury, Quick RecoveryD. Different Treatment, Obvious EffectSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Defenders of the French language are angered by plans to introduce courses taught in English at public universities, arguing that France must protect itself against the risk of losing its cultural identity.The French Parliament recently started to debate the issue as part of a bill on a broader reform of higher education, but all attention has focused on an article that would lift a 19-year ban on English as a teaching language at public universities.The French government backs the change, which it says would help to attract foreign students and help French graduates compete in a global economy as the country struggles to regain competitiveness. More French students fearing poor job prospects at home, where youth unemployment is nearly 25 percent, are studying and working abroad. One of their destinations is London, which now has become the sixth largest French population in the world.However, opponents of the law, including professors, lawmakers and the French language supervision body Academic France, say the community of other French-speaking peoples must be defended and that the change would be a betrayal of other French-speaking nations."If France gives other French-speaking countries the wrong signal by leading an assault against the language, that would be a very, very regrettable thing indeed," said Claude Hagege, a language scientist.France has long defended its culture at home and abroad. In 1994, the so-called " Toubon Law" made the use of French mandatory in all TV broadcasts, meaning all foreign-language programs are dubbed, while radio stations must play at least 40 percent of French music for most of the day.Business leaders criticize France's low ranking for English proficiency(熟练度）- it placed 23rd in a 2012 global ranking published by education company Education First - even though the use of English has grown, notably in academic circles.Higher Education Minister Genevieve Fioraso said offering English would increase the appeal of French universities at a time when they are falling further behind in international rankings. In a 2011-2012 survey by Britain's Times newspaper, the highest-ranked French university is in 59th position. Private business schools where English is taught rank higher.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What does “the change” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?79. Some people are against the change because they think it would_____________________.80. According to “Toubon Law” , what is a must for TV stations in France?81. Genevieve Fioraso thinks the release of the bill may help French universities __________.第Ⅱ卷(共47分)I.

Each word can only be used once.Young children may face serious health risks from popular energy drinks, such as Monster, Red Bull and Rock Star, 41 causing heart problems and other life-threatening conditions, according to the findings of new researches.During a presentation at the annual Cardiac Scientific Sessions 2014 meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA), researchers warned about the risk of allowing young children 42 to the energy drinks, which contain high amounts of caffeine(咖啡因) and other stimulants.Researches 43 that the energy drinks are not intended for young children and are not safe for them to consume. Steven Lipshultz, M.D., lead author of the study, is calling for a warning on all energy drink cans and bottles, warning parents of the risk of allowing children to drink them.Researchers say it is difficult to know exactly how much caffeine is contained in each can or bottle of energy drinks, since they are often 44 as dietary supplements (补充物), which allow the manufacturers to avoid FDA regulations.Energy drink manufacturers have compared the amount of caffeine in their products to that in hot drinks sold in coffee houses, but their products are often packaged in very large sizes and they are not sold in 45 environments like coffee houses, which typically would not serve young children. Energy drinks are widely available in 46 stores next to traditional soft drinks, typically packaged in very similar cans and using similar marketing techniques.Some energy drinks in many of the popular lines can contain up to 400 mg of caffeine per can. In comparison, a cup of coffee typically has around 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine poisoning can occur in adults at levels higher than 400 mg a day; however, children under 12 can 47 caffeine poisoning at only 2.5 mg per2.2 pounds of body weight.A study published in September 48 up the new findings, revealing energy drinks may cause serious heart problems. French researchers revealed the popular energy drinks may be linked to 49 risk of irregular heartbeats and even sudden death.The FDA is 50 investigating health concerns surrounding the drinks after numerous negative event reports have been made in recent years connecting energy drinks to severe injuries and deaths.III.

And it’s booming.The number of jobs for translators and interpreters doubled in the past 10 years while their wages steadily 52 before, during and after the recession. During a period of stagnating(停滞的) wages across the labor market, the language-service industry with its 50,000 jobs is a 53 spot in the jobs outlook.Lillian Clementi is a French translator working in corporate communications from her home in Arlington, Massachusetts and is routinely on tight deadlines to hand in translated material. “The risks can be huge,”said Clementi, “There’s tons of 54 pressure.”In some cases, a(n) 55 translation or interpretation is also vital.

Any change of tone or context could put lives 57 .Translators’ and interpreters’ immunity(免疫力) to the nation’s economic downturn also 58 the growing demand for people who can speak several languages in an increasingly globalized economy, experts said.“Good translators who 59 a particular subject and become really good at it can really make six-digit figures annually,” said Jiri Stejskal, spokesman for the American Translators Association.Multinational corporations, U.S. demographic (人口的) changes and the Internet economy raise the need for translated and localized information. Companies increasingly want their content 60 to the tongue of the town, even between dialects of the same language.“As more people 61 the worldwide economy, that’s going to drive more commerce, and that’s going to drive more language servic es,” said Bill Rivers, executive director of the National Council for Language and International Studies in the Washington region.62 , qualifications for translators and interpreters are not as simple as they may seem. Speaking two languages does not mean a person can work in the language-service industry, experts said.

The studio is working with Potter author J. K. Rowling to create a new franchise (特需经营权) of movies based on “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”, which is a fictitious textbook in the Harry Potter world. The story will also follow the adventures of the book’s author, Newt Scamander. Rowling, for the first time, will pen the screenplay.It comes as no surprise that Warner Brothers is trying to keep the Harry Potter franchise going. The films alone have earned $7.7 billion at the box office. The franchise has probably almost doubled those earnings on home video and TV sales. Then there’s the many Harry Potter products that fans still snatch up.But at some point, Harry Potter could seem old hat and that’s not something W arner Brothers wants to see happen. So executives had three choices: restart the franchise, come up with continuations or spin off part of the Potter world into a new movie.Without books to support the new stories, the upcoming movies could be a tougher sell for Warner Brothers. Harry and friends won’t appear at all in the new movies which will be set in New York 70 years before Harry Potter heads to Hogwarts.The new stories will also net video games, products and enhance Rowling’s website.Here’s Rowling on the upcoming franchise:It all started when Warner Brother s came to me with the suggestion of turning “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of “Fantastic Beasts”, realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t get rid of. That is how I could express my own idea for a film to Warner Brothers.Although it will be set in the worldwide community of wizards (巫师) where I was so happy for seventeen years, it is neither a previous work nor a continuation to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry gets underway.66.

If you’re satisfied with your social life, according to psychologists, you tend to be satisfied with life in general.From the point of my 50s, I’d say that sounds about right. Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband, a few close relatives, and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway. But the more I read about how social media are interfering with (干扰) good old-fashioned friendship, creating virtual bonds that can’t quite take the place of real ones, the more I wonder just how today’s 20-somethings will look back on their own lives when they’re my age.After all, much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s. According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago, who helped launch the academic study of human development, people choose most of their adult relationships, both friends and lovers, between the ages of 22 and 28. The friends we make in our 20s are not only best friends forever; they’re also our first truly cho sen friends. And choosing how to commit to these friendships is an essential psychological task of the 20s.But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online, an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is. A study, conducted in 2010 by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin, investigated the Facebook habits of 776 young people between the ages of 18 and 35. “Whether it is a wall post, a comment, or a photo,” they wrote, “young people’s eng agement with Facebook is driven, primarily, by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by, far away, or have just entered into their lives.”This kind of constant contact can be efficient, but it can also be upsetting. For one thing, it adds a new layer of concern to a young person’s already-heightened awareness of social ranking, giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about. “I see other 20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image, especially a public image online,” wrote Ariana Allensworth on the group blog. “Folks are always keeping the world informed one way or another about what they’re up to, where they’re at, what projects they’re working on.It can be a bi t much at times.” Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship.74. According to the passage, the 20s is an age for people to _____.A. have a good public imageB. keep themselves informedC. look back on their own livesD. develop critical relationships75. Which of the following is a disadvantage of making friends online?A. It makes people pay less attention to social ranking.B. It robs people of the happy moments spent with friends.C. It keeps people away from their family and close relatives.D. It prevents people from keeping in contact with their friends.76. What was the aim of the study conducted by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee?A. To know about the 776 young people’s Facebook habits.B. To find out how social media affect real-world social life.C. To help young people stay connected to the lives of friends.D. To investigate what kind of people prefer online interactions.77. The author may agree that _____.A. old-fashioned friendship can help create virtual bondsB. there’s no need for young people to make online friendsC. real-world friendship is a better choice for young peopleD. online friendship is an inevitable trend in the modern worldSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Students in Finland won’t have to study subjects. Soon, their classrooms would resemble conferences where “topics” are discussed.The education system in Finland is about to undergo a revolutionary and fundamental change, although it enjoys the reputation of being one of the best in the world. The education department has decided to abandon the old method of “teaching by subject.” Instead, the country will now involve the children to help them learn and question by evolving to “teaching by topic”, shared Liisa Pohjolainen, who is in charge of youth and adult education in Helsinki – the capital city leading the reform program, “This is going to be a big change in education in Finland that we’re just beginning.”The education system, though appearing to be revolutionary, is quite logical, explained Pasi Silander, the city’s development manager, “What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life. Young people use quite advanced computers. In the past the banks had lots of bank clerks adding up figures but now that has totally changed. We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society.”How does Finland plan to apply the method of teaching by topic? Evidently all-round vocational training and accumulated skill development take up priority over “lessons.” Those in their late teens are already being engaged in what Finland refers to as “phenomenon teaching” –or teaching by topic. For example, “cafeteria services” lessons will include elements of finance, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills.Students will slowly be taught cross-subject topics which would have varying elements of multiple “subjects.” These elements will vary with the “topic” or “skill” the student is learning. Apart from the same, students will move away from the traditional sitting and evaluation techniques as well. Students will sit in smaller groups and work collectively to solve problems, all the while improving upon their communication skills. They won’t be made to sit in rows and asked questions individually to assess their progress. Instead, a group whose collaborative efforts bring out results faster will be promoted.The education system needs a thorough reform, owing to the fact that traditional teaching techniques were based on traditional tools that were quite limited in availability and accessibility. With modern world being extensively connected, isn’t it time for the students to learn how to step ahead of mere fact-based learning that promotes memory expansion rather than mental development?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Finland is launching its education reform by _________.79. What’s the purpose of Finland’s education reform?80. What are two of the main features of “teaching by topic”?81. Finland decides to reform its education because traditional teaching _________.第Ⅱ卷（共47分）I.

The studio is working with Potter author J. K. Rowling to create a new franchise (特需经营权) of movies based on “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”, which is a fictitious textbook in the Harry Potter world. The story will also follow the adventures of the book’s author, Newt Scamander. Rowling, for the first time, will pen the screenplay.It comes as no surprise that（不足为奇;毫无意外）Warner Brothers is trying to keep the Harry Potter franchise going. The films alone have earned $7.7 billion at the box office. The franchise has probably almost doubled those earnings on home video and TV sales. Then there’s the many Harry Potter products that fans still snatch up.But at some point, Harry Potter could seem old hat(不用n前.老套,旧式,过时的)and that’s not something Warner Brothers wants to see happen. So executives had three choices: restart the franchise, come up with continuation s续集;延长or spin off part of the Potter world into a new movie.Without books to support the new stories, the upcoming movies could be a tougher sell for Warner Brother s. Harry and friends won’t appear at all in t he new movies which will be set in New York 70 years before Harry Potter heads to Hogwarts.The new stories will also net video games, products and enhance Rowling’s website.Here’s Rowling on the upcoming franchise:It all started when Warner Brothers cam e to me with the suggestion of turning “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” into a film.

A study, conducted in 2010 by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin, investigated the Facebook habits of 776 y oung people between the ages of 18 and 35. “Whether it is a wall post, a comment, or a photo,” they wrote, “young people’s engagement约定with Facebook is drive n驱使, primarily, by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by, far away, or have just entered into their lives.”This kind of constant contact can be efficient, but it can also be upsetting. For one thing, it adds a new layer of concern to a young person’s already-heightened awareness of social ranking, giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about. “I see other20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image, especially a public image online,” wrote Ariana高三英语共10页第9页Allensworth on the group blog. “Folk s are always keeping the world informed one way or another about what they’re up to从事于,忙于, where they’re at, what projects they’re working on.It can be a bit much at times.” Not the most fertile ground有利于..发展的环境for real-world friendship.74.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Students in F inland won’t have to study subjects. Soon, their classrooms would resemble像,与..类似conferences where “topics” are discussed.The education system in Finland is about to undergo经历a revolutionary and fundamental change, although it enjoys the reputation of being one of the best in the world. The education department has decided to abandon the old method of “teaching by subject.” Instead, the country will now involve the children to help them learn and question by evolving to “teaching by topic”, shared Liisa Pohjolainen, who is in charge of youth and adult education in Helsinki – the capital city leading the reform program, “This is going to be a big change in education in Finland that we’re just beginning.”The education system, though appearing to be revolutionary, is quite logical, explained Pasi Silander, the city’s development manager, “What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life. Young people use quite advanced computers. In the past the banks had lots of bank clerks adding up figures but now that has totally changed. We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society.”How does Finland plan to apply the method of teaching by topic? Evidently明显地,显然all-round vocational职业培训training and accumulated skill development take up priority over高三英语共10页第10页“lessons.” Those in their late teens are already being engaged in what Finland refers to as “phenomenon teaching” –or teaching by topic. For example, “cafeteria services” lessons wil l include elements of finance, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills.Students will slowly be taught cross-subject跨学科topics which would have varying elements of multiple “subjects.” These elements will vary with the “topic” or “skill” the student is learning. Apart from the same, students will move away from the traditional sitting and evaluation techniques as well. Students will sit in smaller groups and work collectively集体,共有地to solve problems, all the while improving upon their communication skills. They won’t be made to sit in rows and asked questions individually to assess their progress. Instead, a group whose collaborative efforts合力bring out results faster will be promoted.The education system needs a thorough reform, owing to the fact that traditional teaching techniques were based on traditional tools that were quite limited in availability and accessibility. With modern world being extensively connected, isn’t it time for the students to learn how to step ahead of mere fact-based learning that promotes memory expansion rather than mental development?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78.

The term given name refers to the fact that the name is given to a baby at its birth. It is different from a surname which is no rmally 1 among members of the child's immediate (直系的) family.

（17分）收藏是一种物证马未都①文物兼精神与物质两个方面。

□②文物收藏之所以诱人，藏品增值是最直接的原因。

加之中国文物浩如烟海，种类繁多，以个人智力财力精力与之挑战，败多胜少，刺激无穷，这．就使生活富足的现代人倍感亲切，乐此不疲。

③中国历史上的收藏大都形成于物阜民丰之际。

我们熟知的赵宋皇帝宋徽宗，就是一位身体力行的收藏爱好者。

时隔千年，我们仍能读到成书于北宋宣和年间的有关收藏的各类书籍。

徽宗酷爱艺术，不谙政事，做了国家画院院长，却丢了国家。

这让后人对这一段幽怨的历史唏嘘不已，百思不得其解。

这就是收藏的魅力。

我们今天仍对赵宋江山所遗留的书画、陶瓷等艺术珍品怀着崇高的敬意。

对宋徽宗——赵佶本人的艺术造诣也怀着同样的敬意。

他的《写生珍禽图》以2300万高价拍卖成交。

④2002年春季，中国嘉德拍卖公司在北京成功地拍卖出宋徽宗的《写生珍禽图》，每一个在拍卖现场的人当时都激动不已。

十数人不断勇敢地举起手中的号牌，争先恐后，轮番冲刺。

我在现场，享受着那振奋人心的一刻，所有人对每一次的价格攀升发出惊呼。

一位老者，尽自身全部财力，倾终生对艺术的向往，在1300万高价位勇敢地伸出了自己那只苍劲的手。

我知道，那是老先生全部的财产。

他用行动阐释着收藏的魅力。

事后，他对我说，那东西（《写生珍禽图》）属于我了一秒钟。

1300万与一秒钟，是老先生酷爱艺术的写照，我甚至觉得他的1300万与成交价2300万相比，前者更让人感动，虽败犹荣。

⑤这件《写生珍禽图》虽为徽宗本人所绘，却没有落下徽宗手迹，因为何种原因，众说纷纭。

但上面却留有另一位赫赫有名的皇帝手迹，这就是乾隆——满清王朝最富魅力的皇帝。
