B Rembrandt van Rijn, Dutch Baroque painter and printmaker, one of the greatest storytellers in the history of art, has an unusual ability to express people in their various moods. Rembrandt is also known as a painter of light and shade and as an artist who favored an uncompromising (不妥协的) realism. Early in his career and for some time, Rembrandt painted mainly portraits (肖像). Although he continued to paint portraits throughout his career, he did so less frequently over time. Nearly one-tenth of his paintings consist of studies of his own face as well as more formal self-portraits. Seen over his whole career, the changes in Rembrandt’s style are worthy of attention. His approach to composition and his expression of space and light tend to make a gradual change, even within a single work. The painting known as Night Watch (1642) was clearly a turning point in his stylistic development. These changes are not the result of an involuntary evolution (无意识的演进); rather they should be seen as a clear-minded search in pictural and narrative sides, sometimes as if he were in discussion with his great previous generations. Rembrandt quickly achieved fame among Dutch art lovers and an art-buying public for his history paintings as well as his portraits and self-portraits. His unusual drawings, which in fact were done as practice exercises or as studies for other works, were also collected by current art lovers. Certain artists in 18th-century Germany and Venice even adopted his style. He was respected during the Romantic era and was considered a forerunner (先驱) of the Romantic movement; from that point he was regarded as one of the greatest figures in art history. In the Netherlands itself, his fortunes have once again risen, and he has become a symbol of both greatness and Dutchness. 24. Why is Rembrandt called “one of the greatest storytellers in the history of art” in Paragraph 1? A. He was good at telling good stories. B. His own life story is well worth telling. C. He could use light and shade skillfully. D. He could show people’s moods vividly. 25. What features Rembrandt’s early career? A. His preference for portraits. B. His vivid description of beauty. C. His unintended search of changes. D. His high fame among art lovers. 26. What can we expect from Night Watch? A. A painting style without any change. B. Different expression of space and light. C. An involuntary evolution in narrative respects. D. Similar content to that of those painted before. 27. What do the underlined words “that point” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Rembrandt’s contributions to the Romantic movement. B. Rembrandt’s influence on contemporary art lovers. C. Rembrandt’s unusual portraits and self-portraits. D. Rembrandt’s influence on artists in 18th-century Europe. C One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its “best-before date”. Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown? What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label (标签)? When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统). Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top-scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames. To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway. Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history. In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn’t speak or read the local languages well and were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles. But, nowadays, a foreigner walking down the street may have better SAT scores than you, or a higher degree from a better university. The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The term “foreigner” should be redefined. B. The term “foreigner” should no longer be used. C. There are no more foreigners in the world today. D. The term “foreigner” is not proper to define people. 29. What does the author tend to tell us by mentioning a European and a Beijinger? A. It’s no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces. B. The label of foreigners can never be removed. C. Most foreigners can do well in learning languages. D. It’s impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad. 30. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. In 1960s and 1970s Asians didn’t shop in Chicago. B. Today, more and more Asian travellers like to shop in Chicago. C. There are more Asian people today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago. D. Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago. 31. What is the author’s attitude to the changing definition of “foreigner”? A. Confused B. Disappointed C. Unconcerned D. Positive D No civilization is complete without legends about outer space. Our need to challenge the limits of what we know has made humans try to discover new worlds. However, outer space exploration can’t be carried out without heavy investments (投资), which can sometimes become a burden for any country or institution. But this changed forever. Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by American Jeff Bezos, amazon.com’s CEO made history on Nov 23, 2015. It successfully launched a rocket to the edge of space and brought it back to Earth for a safe landing. The rocket, named NewShepard, was the first successful reusable rocket in space flight history. The next step is to prove it can fly again, making sure it is indeed reusable. “We’re getting closer to a new era of space tourism,” commented Discover magazine. Reusable rockets will help companies such as Blue Origin to achieve “a cost-saving means” of transporting humans into space and back, said the magazine. Previously, whenever a rocket had been sent into orbit, it had always been destroyed or lost in the process. Even the space shuttle, which returned to the ground undamaged and on its own power, was only partly reusable. This problem has made a single launch mission extremely expensive. A completely reusable system makes space travel more affordable and sustainable (可持续的). Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and another big player in private space exploration, called the idea of a reusable system “the breakthrough needed to completely change access to space”. According to an article in The Atlantic magazine, New Shepard’s success has ended “a private space race” between Bezos and Musk. However, according to Emily Calandrelli, host and producer of Xploration Outer Space on Fox, it is not completely fair “to compare the two companies’ achievements to date” because “their successes could be considered separate unique milestones on two different paths”. Blue Origin is aiming to sell directly to buyers (wealthy space tourists) while SpaceX is aiming to sell to large companies and the government (NASA, the Air Force). These two ideas require very different rockets. 32. Why is outer space exploration difficult to achieve? A. Because there are no legends about it. B. Because it needs a lot of money. C. Because there are no good rockets. D. Because humans don’t have the technology. 33. Compared with the past what does reusable rockets enable companies like Blue Origin to achieve? A. A newer means of space tourism. B. A safer landing back to Earth. C. A smaller investment to make profits. D. A less competition with other companies. 34. What did Emily Calandrelli mean in the last paragraph? A. The two companies are similiar in technologies. B. The two companies haven’t ended their space race. C. The two companies have different target customers. D. The two companies have the same goals. 35. What can be the best title of the passage? A. The Rise of Private Space Exploration Companies B. The New Form of Space Travel C. Comparing Achievements in Private Space Exploration D. The First Successful Reusable Rocket in Space Flight History 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teamwork is a group of people working together efficiently towards a common goal. Being a master of one or a jack-of-all-trades in today’s world does not bring about success if you are unable to work as part of a team. ___36___ So team work is important.

But how would you feel if, instead of being asked why you want the job, you’re asked to stand up and dance? A company needs to test an interviewee in the most appropriate way to discover how suitable he or she may be. A good interview process should include strict screening of interviewees and effective questions that every interviewee gets asked. But that’s not always the case. Alison Green is an author of the workplace advice column “Ask a Manager”. She told the BBC that some companies give their interviewers little or no training and often leave them alone completely when it comes to figuring out what to ask interviewees. She mentions that some interviewers are too casual and some focus on building a good relationship and end up having the interviewees they are happy with, regardless of their skills and abilities. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共 15 小题;每小题2.5分，满分 37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A As a high school student, you might be wondering what you can do now to help change the world and better your community.

As a volunteer, you could walk dogs and do the cleaning at a shelter, or even help out at one of its clinics.(美国人道协会旨在为所有动物创造一个人道和可持续发展的世界。作为一名志愿者，你可以在收容所遛狗、打扫卫生，甚至在诊所帮忙。)”可知，如果你是一个动物爱好者可以参加美国人道主义协会。故选D。 22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“National Park Service”部分中的“Whether you’re working in the visitor center or monitoring wildlife in the area, you’ll learn a lot about the preservation of nature.(无论你是在游客中心工作还是在该地区监测野生动物，你都会学到很多关于自然保护的知识。)”可知，国家公园管理局的特别之处是它使学生接近自然、了解自然保护。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Habitat for Humanity”部分中的“Volunteering here will give you a great insight into how large-scale projects are organized and carried out.(在这里做志愿者会让你深入了解大型项目是如何组织和实施的。)”和“Goodwill Industries International”部分中的“As a volunteer, you can help people build skills, get jobs, and strengthen their finances, which can give you an inside look into how these types of social services function and succeed.(作为一名志愿者，你可以帮助人们培养技能，找到工作，并改善他们的财务状况，这可以让你深入了解这些类型的社会服务是如何运作和成功的。)”可知，从仁人家园和善意实业国际可以获得参与大型项目的经验。故选B。 B Rembrandt van Rijn, Dutch Baroque painter and printmaker, one of the greatest storytellers in the history of art, has an unusual ability to express people in their various moods. Rembrandt is also known as a painter of light and shade and as an artist who favored an uncompromising (不妥协的) realism. Early in his career and for some time, Rembrandt painted mainly portraits (肖像). Although he continued to paint portraits throughout his career, he did so less frequently over time. Nearly one-tenth of his paintings consist of studies of his own face as well as more formal self-portraits. Seen over his whole career, the changes in Rembrandt’s style are worthy of attention. His approach to composition and his expression of space and light tend to make a gradual change, even within a single work. The painting known as Night Watch (1642) was clearly a turning point in his stylistic development. These changes are not the result of an involuntary evolution (无意识的演进); rather they should be seen as a clear-minded search in pictural and narrative sides, sometimes as if he were in discussion with his great previous generations. Rembrandt quickly achieved fame among Dutch art lovers and an art-buying public for his history paintings as well as his portraits and self-portraits. His unusual drawings, which in fact were done as practice exercises or as studies for other works, were also collected by current art lovers. Certain artists in 18th-century Germany and Venice even adopted his style. He was respected during the Romantic era and was considered a forerunner (先驱) of the Romantic movement; from that point he was regarded as one of the greatest figures in art history. In the Netherlands itself, his fortunes have once again risen, and he has become a symbol of both greatness and Dutchness. 24. Why is Rembrandt called “one of the greatest storytellers in the history of art” in Paragraph 1? A. He was good at telling good stories. B. His own life story is well worth telling. C. He could use light and shade skillfully. D. He could show people’s moods vividly. 25 What features Rembrandt’s early career? A. His preference for portraits. B. His vivid description of beauty. C. His unintended search of changes. D. His high fame among art lovers. 26. What can we expect from Night Watch? A. A painting style without any change. B. Different expression of space and light. C. An involuntary evolution in narrative respects. D. Similar content to that of those painted before. 27. What do the underlined words “that point” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Rembrandt’s contributions to the Romantic movement. B. Rembrandt’s influence on contemporary art lovers. C. Rembrandt’s unusual portraits and self-portraits. D. Rembrandt’s influence on artists in 18th-century Europe. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍荷兰艺术家伦勃朗·凡·瑞恩对艺术的贡献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Rembrandt van Rijn, Dutch Baroque painter and printmaker, one of the greatest storytellers in the history of art, has an unusual ability to express people in their various moods. (伦勃朗·凡·瑞恩，荷兰巴洛克画家和版画家，艺术史上最伟大的说书人之一，具有卓越的表达人们各种情绪的能力。)”可知，伦勃朗被称为“艺术史上最伟大的说书人之一”是因为他能生动地表现人们的情绪。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段首句“Early in his career and for some time, Rembrandt painted mainly portraits (肖像). (在伦勃朗早期的职业生涯中，有一段时间，他主要画肖像画。)”可知，伦勃朗早期的职业生涯特点是他喜欢肖像画。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Seen over his whole career, the changes in Rembrandt’s style are worthy of attention. His approach to composition and his expression of space and light tend to make a gradual change, even within a single work. The painting known as Night Watch (1642) was clearly a turning point in his stylistic development. (纵观伦勃朗的整个艺术生涯，其艺术风格的变化值得关注。他的构图方式以及他对空间和光线的表达往往会发生渐进的变化，即使在一件作品中也是如此。这幅名为《守夜人》（1642）的画作显然是他风格发展的一个转折点。)”可知，我们能从《守夜》中了解到空间与光的不同表达。故选B项。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子“He was respected during the Romantic era and was considered a forerunner (先驱) of the Romantic movement; from that point he was regarded as one of the greatest figures in art history. In the Netherlands itself, his fortunes have once again risen, and he has become a symbol of both greatness and Dutchness.(他在浪漫主义时代受到尊敬，被认为是浪漫主义运动的先驱，从那一刻起，他被认为是艺术史上最伟大的人物之一。在荷兰本土，他的财富再次上升，他已经成为伟大和荷兰的象征。)”可知，此处that point指代Rembrandt van Rijn对浪漫主义运动的贡献。故选A项。 C One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its “best-before date”. Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown? What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label (标签)? When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统). Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top-scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames. To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway. Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history. In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn’t speak or read the local languages well and were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles. But, nowadays, a foreigner walking down the street may have better SAT scores than you, or a higher degree from a better university. The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The term “foreigner” should be redefined. B. The term “foreigner” should no longer be used. C. There are no more foreigners in the world today. D. The term “foreigner” is not proper to define people. 29. What does the author tend to tell us by mentioning a European and a Beijinger? A. It’s no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces. B. The label of foreigners can never be removed. C. Most foreigners can do well in learning languages. D. It’s impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad. 30. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn’t shop in Chicago. B. Today, more and more Asian travellers like to shop in Chicago. C. There are more Asian people today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago. D. Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago. 31. What is the author’s attitude to the changing definition of “foreigner”? A. Confused B. Disappointed C. Unconcerned D. Positive 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述随着全球人口流动的大幅度加速，传统意义上的“外国人”的定义已经发生了很大的变化。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its “best-before date”. (全球化和流动性大大增加的相关现象的一个副作用是，“外国人”的传统定义已经过了“最佳日期”。)”可知，传统上对“外国人”的定义已经过时，所以需要重新定义。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown? What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label (标签)? (一个在中国生活的时间比在自己的祖国长，在这个过程中精通语言并熟悉文化的欧洲人，在中国还是外国人，还是在自己的家乡变得更像外国人？如果一个北京人在加拿大上学，然后在那里生活和工作了20年，同时养育了一个不打算回中国的家庭，那该怎么办？她像外国人一样思考和行动吗？这个标签是什么意思？)”可知，根据出生地来定义是否是外国人是不合适的。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统). Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top-scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames. (当我在芝加哥郊区长大时，我在20世纪60年代和70年代穿过当地购物中心时看到的面孔几乎没有亚裔。如今，当地的商场里到处都是亚洲人的面孔，只要看看当地学校得分最高的学生的排名，就会发现很多亚洲人的姓氏。)”可知，今天芝加哥的亚洲人比上世纪六七十年代要多。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think. (传统的榜样正在被混淆，看起来这只是一个新篇章的开始。今天，整个事情完全改变了。这与人们来自哪里或他们的皮肤是什么颜色无关。这是关于他们是谁，他们带来了什么价值观和技能，以及他们是如何思考的。)”可知，作者对“外国人”定义的变化是很赞同的。故选D。 D No civilization is complete without legends about outer space. Our need to challenge the limits of what we know has made humans try to discover new worlds. However, outer space exploration can’t be carried out without heavy investments (投资), which can sometimes become a burden for any country or institution. But this changed forever. Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by American Jeff Bezos, amazon.com’s CEO made history on Nov 23, 2015. It successfully launched a rocket to the edge of space and brought it back to Earth for a safe landing. The rocket, named NewShepard, was the first successful reusable rocket in space flight history. The next step is to prove it can fly again, making sure it is indeed reusable. “We’re getting closer to a new era of space tourism,” commented Discover magazine. Reusable rockets will help companies such as Blue Origin to achieve “a cost-saving means” of transporting humans into space and back, said the magazine. Previously, whenever a rocket had been sent into orbit, it had always been destroyed or lost in the process. Even the space shuttle, which returned to the ground undamaged and on its own power, was only partly reusable. This problem has made a single launch mission extremely expensive. A completely reusable system makes space travel more affordable and sustainable (可持续的). Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and another big player in private space exploration, called the idea of a reusable system “the breakthrough needed to completely change access to space”. According to an article in The Atlantic magazine, New Shepard’s success has ended “a private space race” between Bezos and Musk. However, according to Emily Calandrelli, host and producer of Xploration Outer Space on Fox, it is not completely fair “to compare the two companies’ achievements to date” because “their successes could be considered separate unique milestones on two different paths”. Blue Origin is aiming to sell directly to buyers (wealthy space tourists) while SpaceX is aiming to sell to large companies and the government (NASA, the Air Force). These two ideas require very different rockets. 32. Why is outer space exploration difficult to achieve? A. Because there are no legends about it. B. Because it needs a lot of money. C. Because there are no good rockets. D. Because humans don’t have the technology. 33. Compared with the past, what does reusable rockets enable companies like Blue Origin to achieve? A. A newer means of space tourism. B. A safer landing back to Earth. C. A smaller investment to make profits. D. A less competition with other companies. 34. What did Emily Calandrelli mean in the last paragraph? A. The two companies are similiar in technologies. B. The two companies haven’t ended their space race. C. The two companies have different target customers. D. The two companies have the same goals. 35. What can be the best title of the passage? A. The Rise of Private Space Exploration Companies B. The New Form of Space Travel C. Comparing Achievements in Private Space Exploration D. The First Successful Reusable Rocket in Space Flight History 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。短文介绍了太空飞行历史上第一个成功的可重复使用火箭的相关信息。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, outer space exploration can’t be carried out without heavy investments (投资), which can sometimes become a burden for any country or institution.”（然而，太空探索不能在没有大量投资的情况下进行，这有时会成为任何国家或机构的负担。）可知，太空探索难以实现的原因是需要大量的资金投入，故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Reusable rockets will help companies such as Blue Origin to achieve “a cost-saving means” of transporting humans into space and back, said the magazine.”（杂志称，可重复使用的火箭将帮助Blue Origin等公司实现“节省成本的手段”，将人类送入太空并返回。）可知，与过去相比，可重复使用的火箭使Blue Origin等公司能够实现较小的投资以获得利润，故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Blue Origin is aiming to sell directly to buyers (wealthy space tourists) while SpaceX is aiming to sell to large companies and the government (NASA, the Air Force). These two ideas require very different rockets.”（Blue Origin的目标是直接向买家（富裕的太空游客）销售，而SpaceX的目标是向大公司和政府（NASA，空军）销售。这两种想法需要非常不同的火箭。）可知，Emily Calandrelli在最后一段的意思是这两家公司有不同的目标客户，故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第二段“Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by American Jeff Bezos, amazon.com’s CEO. made history on Nov 23, 2015. It successfully launched a rocket to the edge of space and brought it back to Earth for a safe landing. The rocket, named NewShepard, was the first successful reusable rocket in space flight history. The next step is to prove it can fly again, making sure it is indeed reusable.”（Blue Origin是由亚马逊公司首席执行官、美国人杰夫·贝佐斯创立的太空探索公司。2015年11月23日创造了历史。它成功地将一枚火箭发射到太空边缘，并将其带回地球安全着陆。这枚名为“NewShepard”的火箭是太空飞行历史上第一枚成功的可重复使用火箭。下一步是证明它可以再次飞行，确保它确实是可重复使用的。）可知，短文的最佳标题为“太空飞行历史上第一个成功的可重复使用火箭”。故选D。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teamwork is a group of people working together efficiently towards a common goal.
