Mona Lisa The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, has been on display at the Louvre Museum since 1797. More than six million people visit the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa each year. The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914. Winged Victory of Samothrace Representing the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. She was positioned as the sole figure on top of a staircase in the museum in 1863 where she has remained ever since. The athletic wear company of the same name used the goddess of victory as inspiration for the brand, and the Nike logo is taken from the shape of the top of her wings. Venus de Milo Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven. She is positioned to appear as if she is looking across the other Roman depictions of Venus that appear in the same hall at the Louvre Museum. Liberty Leading the People Painted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum. 1. What do we know about the painting Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum? A. It has attracted a total of six million people to the museum. B. It was so famous as to almost fuel a crime in 1911. C. It was once displayed in the Uffizi Museum in Florence. D. It was not kept in the Louvre Museum for several years. 2. Which of the following pieces is set in France? A. Mona Lisa. B. Winged Victory of Samothrace. C. Venus de Milo. D. Liberty Leading the People. 3. What do the “Winged Victory of Samothrace” and “Venus de Milo” have in common? A. Both of them are connected with Greek beliefs. B. Both of them inspired athletic wear designers. C. Both of them were positioned as sole figures. D. Both of them were gifts to French kings. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了最初是塞纳河右岸的中世纪要塞和国王的住所卢浮宫里永久展出的四个著名的作品。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mona Lisa“The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914.”（蒙娜丽莎的成名几乎完全是因为1911年发生的一起抢劫案，当时一名意大利爱国者从卢浮宫偷走了《蒙娜丽莎》。窃贼在向佛罗伦萨乌菲齐博物馆出售画作时被抓获，《蒙娜丽莎》于1914年初被归还巴黎。）可知，关于卢浮宫博物馆里的《蒙娜丽莎》我们知道这幅画好几年都没有留在卢浮宫。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Liberty Leading the People“Painted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum.”（这幅作品由尤金·德拉克洛瓦创作，描绘了一个被称为玛丽安的法国革命的象征，她举着后来成为法国官方旗帜的法国革命三色旗，站在倒下的男人的尸体上方。德拉克洛瓦创作这幅画是为了纪念推翻法国国王查理十世的七月革命。1874年，它被卢浮宫博物馆收购。）可知，《自由领导人民》这个作品是以法国为背景的，故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Winged Victory of Samothrace“Representing the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. ”（Nike是希腊胜利女神的象征，1863年，人们在希腊的萨摩色雷斯岛(Samothrace)发现了它的数百件不同的作品，之后它被带到卢浮宫博物馆。）以及Venus de Milo“Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven.”（《米洛的维纳斯》于1820年在希腊米洛岛被发现，被赠予国王路易十世Ⅷ，后者将其捐赠给卢浮宫收藏。米洛的维纳斯被认为代表希腊女神阿佛洛狄忒，尽管她的身份从未被证实。）可知，《萨摩色雷斯的胜利之翼》和《米洛的维纳斯》的共同之处是两者都与希腊信仰有关。故选A。 B The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to set her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development. As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims(牺牲品). Then this happened. My child’s language delay(语言发育迟缓)was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued. I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with my little girl as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me. “You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!” He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain. As she ran toward me. I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance(毅力). I saw her strength. I saw a Hero. Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness.

B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了因为语言发育迟缓女儿的努力，一个生活绝望的母亲重新燃起了希望的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to set her to school.（为了照顾我三岁的女儿，我花了一晚上的时间。第二天早上，我迫不及待地想送她去上学。）”可知，在处理她女儿的事务时，她累坏了，所以作者迫不及待送她的女儿去学校。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate.（当我陪着她上车时，我感到绝望）”可知，作者很绝望。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!”（他指了指一个木制的操场设备，看起来像一面石墙。我点了点头。“嗯，自从她开始上学以来，她每天都在努力，但总是失败。”他吸了一口气。“今天她做到了!”）”可知，小女孩的学前班老师感到兴奋是因为她设法爬上了木制设备。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We encourage you to click these brief accounts and invite you to share your own story.（我们鼓励您点击这些简短的帐户，并邀请您分享自己的故事）”可推断，这篇文章来自网络。故选B。 C For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative. “It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows. Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. “China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill. For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.” 8. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York? A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors. C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models. 9. What does Hill say about Chinese women? A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns. C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world. 10. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚界的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.可知，此次展览吸引的参观者人数创下了记录，显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中Hill所说话“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.”(中国模特是向世界各地的女性推销梦想的美丽和时尚运动的面孔，这意味着中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者——她们是这场运动的核心。)可知，Hill说中国女性正在引领新时尚，故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下文and beating them hands down in design and sales说在设计和销售上击败他们，由此推断出上文Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Mare Jacobs的意思是Vera Wang、Alexander Wang和Jason Wu正在与Galliano、Albaz和 Mare Jacobs竞争。taking on意思是“竞争”，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文通过Amanda Hill的评论，论述了中国文化、中国艺术、中国设计师等等在国际时尚中发挥着非常重要的作用。因此，“中国文化刺激着国际时尚的发展和潮流”最能概括文章大意。故选D。 D For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients. Blood transfusions aren’t as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else. There’re several different blood types that don’t all mix well. If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood, their body will reject the blood cells, causing problems. For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells. This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion. For one thing, they can be adjusted for people with different blood types. That’ll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types. Also, a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages, which means only a small part of them are brand new. The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions. To test its safety, researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people, both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, they’ll be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions. The new process doesn’t indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear. Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done. But if it’s successful, the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types. 12. What is special about the red blood cells in1 the experiment? A. They’re given by those with rare blood types. B They’re collected from seriously ill patients. C. They’re specifically for a single blood type. D. They’ve never existed in any human bodies. 13. What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion? A. Blood reserves are often inadequate. B. It often takes the patient a lot of time. C. Most normal blood cells don’t live long. D. It’s unfit for those with rare blood types. 14. What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells? A. It will have a long way to go. B. It’ll replace normal transfusions. C. It will separate rare blood types. D. It’ll reduce blood research costs. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Blood Transfusions Get Easier B. Rare Blood Types Are Not Rare C. Rare Blood Cells Need Donating D. Scientists Test Lab-created Blood 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是一种新的给患者输血的方式，即给患者提供红细胞，这种输血方式一旦成功，将会使得经常输血的患者，即使是那些具有稀有血型的患者的生活变的轻松。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.(英国布里斯托大学的科学家有史以来第一次在人类志愿者身上测试实验室中生长的红细胞。 科学家们使用来自血液样本的干细胞来培养数十亿个全新的红细胞)”可知，这些红细胞是在实验室中培养生长的，而不是在人体内。故选D项 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.(在实验室中生长的红细胞是全新的，这意味着它们的持续时间更长，患者需要的输血更少)”可知，常规的血细胞寿命不长。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done.(同时，在实验室中培养红细胞非常昂贵。还有很多工作和测试需要做)”可推知，红细胞的处理过程还有很远的路要走。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.(多年来，医生一直为需要血液生存的患者提供血液。这些输血通常包括给患者提供红细胞)”以及第二段中的“For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells(干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells. (英国布里斯托大学的科学家有史以来第一次在人类志愿者身上测试实验室中生长的红细胞。科学家们使用来自血液样本的干细胞来培养数十亿个全新的红细胞)”可知，本文主要讲述的是科学家在实验室研发的一种红细胞输血方式。由此可知，Scientists Test Lab-created Blood(科学家测试实验室创造的血液)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of the students have a tendency to believe that their brain is not suited for a few subjects that they are uncomfortable with. ____16____ However, because math is one of the most crucial subjects in any competitive exam, having a firm grasp on the subject is essential for moving forward with confidence.

Mona Lisa The Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, has been on display at the Louvre Museum since 1797. More than six million people visit the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa each year. The fame is almost entirely the result of a robbery that took place in 1911, when the Mona Lisa was taken from the Louvre by an Italian patriot. The thief was caught trying to sell the painting to the Uffizi Museum in Florence, and the Mona Lisa was returned to Paris in early 1914. Winged Victory of Samothrace Representing the Greek goddess of victory, Nike was found in hundreds of different pieces in 1863 on the Greek island of Samothrace before she was brought to the Louvre Museum. She was positioned as the sole figure on top of a staircase in the museum in 1863 where she has remained ever since. The athletic wear company of the same name used the goddess of victory as inspiration for the brand, and the Nike logo is taken from the shape of the top of her wings. Venus de Milo Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milo, the Venus de Milo was gifted to King Louis XⅧ, who donated it to the Louvre collection. Venus de Milo is thought to represent the Greek goddess Aphrodite, though her identity has never been proven. She is positioned to appear as if she is looking across the other Roman depictions of Venus that appear in the same hall at the Louvre Museum. Liberty Leading the People Painted by Eugene Delacroix, this work depicts a woman, a symbol of the French Revolution known as Marianne, holding the tricolor revolutionary French flag that would later become the official flag of France, while standing above the bodies of fallen men. Delacroix created the painting to commemorate the July Revolution, which toppled King Charles X of France. In 1874, it was acquired by the Louvre Museum. 1. What do we know about the painting Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum? A. It has attracted a total of six million people to the museum. B. It was so famous as to almost fuel a crime in 1911. C. It was once displayed in the Uffizi Museum in Florence. D. It was not kept in the Louvre Museum for several years. 2. Which of the following pieces is set in France? A. Mona Lisa. B. Winged Victory of Samothrace. C. Venus de Milo. D. Liberty Leading the People. 3. What do the “Winged Victory of Samothrace” and “Venus de Milo” have in common? A. Both of them are connected with Greek beliefs. B. Both of them inspired athletic wear designers. C. Both of them were positioned as sole figures. D. Both of them were gifts to French kings. B The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn’t wait to set her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development. As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims(牺牲品). Then this happened. My child’s language delay(语言发育迟缓)was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued. I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with my little girl as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me. “You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!” He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain. As she ran toward me. I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance(毅力). I saw her strength. I saw a Hero. Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness.

C For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative. “It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows. Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. “China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill. For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.” 8. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York? A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors. C It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models. 9. What does Hill say about Chinese women? A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns. C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world. 10. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends D For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients. Blood transfusions aren’t as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else. There’re several different blood types that don’t all mix well. If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood, their body will reject the blood cells, causing problems. For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells. This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion. For one thing, they can be adjusted for people with different blood types. That’ll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types. Also, a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages, which means only a small part of them are brand new. The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions. To test its safety, researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people, both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, they’ll be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions. The new process doesn’t indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear. Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done. But if it’s successful, the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types. 12.
