Born in the Netherlands in 1853, Van Gogh led a simple life in a small town until the age of 16. He then left school and joined a company of art business in a larger city. During the next seven years, Van Gogh bought and sold paintings in the Netherlands, Britain and France. He eventually realized that dealing with others’ artwork was not his dream. He soon discovered that his dream was to become an artist himself.
He spent much of his time in learning the basic skills of drawing. He believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That was when Van Gogh developed a style for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.
Van Gogh’s paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. He used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional. This quality makes people want to reach out and touch the painting.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls across the canvas, while the stars glow with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke creates the movement and lights. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glimpse of the majesty of the night sky. The Starry Night displays Van Gogh’s ability to create a powerful image with simple strokes and oils.
Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting. Yet Van Gogh today is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is strong; many painters mimic his style and use of color. His artwork can be found in museums all over the world.
4. How did Van Gogh learn to paint?
A. By reading books about art. B. By observing the world around him.
C. By studying the works of great artists. D. By equipping himself with basic skills.
5. Why does the author mention The Starry Night?
A. To praise Van Gogh’s ability. B. To show Van Gogh’s style of painting.
C. To present Van Gogh’s respect for nature. D. To express Van Gogh’s feelings about his art.
6. What does the author seem to admire most about Van Gogh’s paintings?
A. Images B. Light. C. Themes. D. Brushwork.
7. What does the underlined word “mimic” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Copy. B. Teach. C. Change. D. Create.
C
Some bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light, just as plants do.Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(蓝藻菌)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn’t survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface — a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.
Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic(生物电子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.
Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing electrons(电子). When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.
The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jackson’s team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.
Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.
The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.
Then it was time to shine.
“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.
8. What was the problem in previous research?
A Cyanobacteria didn’t produce electrons.
B. Cyanobacteria couldn’t get enough light.
C. The researchers chose the wrong bacteria.
D. No suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.
9. Why were mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?
A. They are convenient to find.
B. They can produce electric currents.
C. They are where bacteria can naturally grow.
D. They can be easily combined with 3D printing.
10. What is the major function of the black ink in this test?
A. To feed bacteria.
B. To deliver electrons.
C. To produce electricity.
D. To reshape mushroom tops.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Who are the real heroes?
B. New application of 3D printing
C. Nature combined with electrons
D. Bionic mushroom makes electricity
D
Marco Polo’s tales inspired European explorers to search for sea routes from west to east. However, businessmen and explorers from the East set sail from east to west many years before Columbus first did.
In ancient times, silk from China found its way overland to India, the Middle East, and Rome, along what became known as the Silk Road. A trading route across the sea was also made longer along the coasts of the Indian Ocean, centered around Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Here, businessmen from China and many other places met to trade.
Later, the Ming Dynasty further developed relations with these regions. Between 1405 and 1433, seven large fleets (舰队) sailed west on voyages of trade and exploration. Under the command of Zheng He, they set sail from the South China Sea across the Indian Ocean to the mouth of the Red Sea, and then to the east coast of Africa. African royal families sent gifts such as giraffes as gestures of friendship in return for gold, silk, and spices. Although China stopped further expeditions (远征) after 1433, these land and sea routes remained active channels between other cultures for centuries.
To reach out across the sea remains a strong desire today. The ancient sea routes travelled by Zheng He are being revisited with the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which is part of the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). The aim of this initiative is to encourage cooperation and trade across the historic Silk Road areas, and strengthen the relations between China and the rest of the world. China has poured billions of money into systems and services along these routes, which will help to greatly develop the whole area for the benefit of future trade and cultural exchange.
China has also joined its friends across the sea on other important projects. In recent years China has joined other nations on several expeditions to explore the Arctic. From a scientific point of view, there is an urgent need to study the Arctic in order to understand climate change and its effects.
12. What do we know about the ancient sea routes?
A Columbus first explored the sea routes.
B. The Silk Road existed longer than the sea routes.
C. Businessmen travelled along the sea routes for their king.
D. A sea route was extended along the Indian Ocean coasts.
13. What can be inferred about China’s expeditions in the Ming Dynasty?
A. They were stopped for economic reasons.
B. They were considered to be a waste of money.
C. They had an influence on the world trade.
D. Seven large fleets set sail from the East China Sea during the expeditions.
14. What’s the goal of the Belt and Road Initiative?
A. To satisfy people’s strong desire and need.
B. To promote trade and develop friendships.
C. To understand the climate change and its effects.
D. To improve the systems and services along the routes.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The Belt and Road Initiative.
B. The history of the Silk Road.
C. Brave businessmen and explorers.
D. China’s exploration across the sea.

Every time my family makes special plans, they end up getting canceled due to some incidents. Every time that happens, my parents would tell us to look on the bright side and make the best of a bad situation. However, I never managed to do that until this spring.
On a sunny morning last month, my aunt Jen invited us to the annual outdoor spring celebration at her farm. Since my family hadn’t done anything different for ages, the whole family was very excited and everyone pulled his own weight to make sure everything goes as planned. In order to add more fun to this exciting trip, my little sister Indi and my little brother Tex even joined me to make an extra- special treat—cupcakes.
The picnic intended to go from twelve to three. After double checking the car, my parents loaded books, games, picnic blanket, and a whole big pack of food into the car. The moment of our departure finally arrived as the clock struck 11. However, everything went wrong the instant we bravely drove off. First, we had to stop and wait for Tex to find his shoes. Next, as we were driving down the road, we had to go back to the house because my mom forgot her wallet. Then, about halfway to Aunt Jen’s house, we had to drive far out of our way to find a place for Indi to use the bathroom. After that, my parents decided it’d be quicker to take this one little side country road as a shortcut. But the shortcut ended up turning into a long cut! We drove forever on a winding road with wildflower field spreading endlessly out on both sides and the deep green pine trees going on and on within our sight. Spotting hundreds of birds flying in the sky, I was seized by a growing sense of desperation for I entirely had no idea when we could hit our destination.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, our car started making a strange noise.

During the next seven years, Van Gogh bought and sold paintings in the Netherlands, Britain and France. He eventually realized that dealing with others’ artwork was not his dream. He soon discovered that his dream was to become an artist himself.
He spent much of his time in learning the basic skills of drawing. He believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That was when Van Gogh developed a style for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.
Van Gogh’s paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. He used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional. This quality makes people want to reach out and touch the painting.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls across the canvas, while the stars glow with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke creates the movement and lights. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glimpse of the majesty of the night sky. The Starry Night displays Van Gogh’s ability to create a powerful image with simple strokes and oils.
Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting. Yet Van Gogh today is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is strong; many painters mimic his style and use of color. His artwork can be found in museums all over the world.
4. How did Van Gogh learn to paint?
A. By reading books about art. B. By observing the world around him.
C. By studying the works of great artists. D. By equipping himself with basic skills.
5. Why does the author mention The Starry Night?
A. To praise Van Gogh’s ability. B. To show Van Gogh’s style of painting.
C. To present Van Gogh’s respect for nature. D. To express Van Gogh’s feelings about his art.

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls across the canvas, while the stars glow with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke creates the movement and lights. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glimpse of the majesty of the night sky. The Starry Night displays Van Gogh’s ability to create a powerful image with simple strokes and oils.(也许梵高运用色彩和笔触风格最具代表性的一个例子就是他的画作《星夜》。画面上的天空在画布上旋转流动,而星星则散发着超凡的光芒。每一笔都勾勒出了动感和光线效果。在天空之下,有一个用较小的笔触和更精细的细节描绘而成的村庄,给人一种宁静的感觉。前景中有一棵大树,暗示着这幅画是从山顶俯瞰所看到的景色,让人得以一窥夜空的壮丽。《星夜》展现了梵高凭借简单的笔触和颜料就能创造出震撼画面的非凡能力)”可知,作者花了大量的篇幅描述梵高绘画的两大风格:色彩的使用和绘画笔法。故选D。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“His influence is strong; many painters mimic his style and use of color.(他的影响力十分强大;许多画家都mimic他的绘画风格和色彩运用方式)”可知,梵高的影响力是巨大的:很多画家都在模仿他的风格和色彩使用。根据句意可知此处mimic意为“模仿”,与选项A. copy(模仿)同义。故选A。

Some bacteria(细菌)have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light, just as plants do.Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria(蓝藻菌)to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn’t survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface — a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.
Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic(生物电子的)mushroom combines 3D printing, conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.
Like plants, cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight, releasing electrons(电子). When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.
The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface.Jackson’s team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.
Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge. 3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.
The researchers printed two“inks”onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.
Then it was time to shine.
“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,”says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.
8. What was the problem in previous research?
A. Cyanobacteria didn’t produce electrons.
B. Cyanobacteria couldn’t get enough light.
C. The researchers chose the wrong bacteria.
D. No suitable home was made for cyanobacteria.
9. Why were mushrooms finally chosen as test subjects?
A. They are convenient to find.
B. They can produce electric currents.
C. They are where bacteria can naturally grow.
D. They can be easily combined with 3D printing.
10. What is the major function of the black ink in this test?
A. To feed bacteria.
B. To deliver electrons.
C To produce electricity.
D. To reshape mushroom tops.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Who are the real heroes?
B. New application of 3D printing
C. Nature combined with electrons
D. Bionic mushroom makes electricity
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于仿生蘑菇产电的研究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据关键词previous research可以定位到第一段“but in previous research, they didn’t survive long on the artificial surfaces(但在之前的研究中,它们在人造表面上存活的时间并不长)”, they指的是前面提到的蓝藻菌,由此可知知,在以前的研究中存在的问题是:没有适合蓝藻菌生存的栖息地。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四自然段“mushroom naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes(蘑菇是细菌和其他微生物的天然宿主)”可知,最终选择蘑菇作为实验对象是因为它们是细菌自然生长的地方。 故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第3段“They also used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity.(他们还使用了石墨烯制成的黑色墨水,石墨烯导电性能很好。)”可知,在这次测试中,黑色墨水的主要功能是导电。本句中conduct 意为“传导”conducting electricity与B选项的deliver electrons同义。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主旨句在第一自然段but转折后,因为原来的研究存在问题,研究学者们给蓝藻菌找了个新家mushroom,接下来全文基本都在介绍mushroom如何被利用来make electricity,第二自然段biotic mushroom仿生蘑菇即是整个过程的总结,因此D选项“仿生蘑菇产电”能概括全文内容适合用作文章标题,其他选项没有抓住本文的关键词及高频词mushroom。故选D项。
D
Marco Polo’s tales inspired European explorers to search for sea routes from west to east. However, businessmen and explorers from the East set sail from east to west many years before Columbus first did.
In ancient times, silk from China found its way overland to India, the Middle East, and Rome, along what became known as the Silk Road. A trading route across the sea was also made longer along the coasts of the Indian Ocean, centered around Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Here, businessmen from China and many other places met to trade.
Later, the Ming Dynasty further developed relations with these regions. Between 1405 and 1433, seven large fleets (舰队) sailed west on voyages of trade and exploration. Under the command of Zheng He, they set sail from the South China Sea across the Indian Ocean to the mouth of the Red Sea, and then to the east coast of Africa. African royal families sent gifts such as giraffes as gestures of friendship in return for gold, silk, and spices. Although China stopped further expeditions (远征) after 1433, these land and sea routes remained active channels between other cultures for centuries.
To reach out across the sea remains a strong desire today. The ancient sea routes travelled by Zheng He are being revisited with the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which is part of the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). The aim of this initiative is to encourage cooperation and trade across the historic Silk Road areas, and strengthen the relations between China and the rest of the world. China has poured billions of money into systems and services along these routes, which will help to greatly develop the whole area for the benefit of future trade and cultural exchange.
China has also joined its friends across the sea on other important projects. In recent years, China has joined other nations on several expeditions to explore the Arctic. From a scientific point of view, there is an urgent need to study the Arctic in order to understand climate change and its effects.
12. What do we know about the ancient sea routes?
A. Columbus first explored the sea routes.
B. The Silk Road existed longer than the sea routes.
C. Businessmen travelled along the sea routes for their king.
D. A sea route was extended along the Indian Ocean coasts.
13. What can be inferred about China’s expeditions in the Ming Dynasty?
A. They were stopped for economic reasons.
B. They were considered to be a waste of money.
C. They had an influence on the world trade.
D. Seven large fleets set sail from the East China Sea during the expeditions.
14. What’s the goal of the Belt and Road Initiative?
A. To satisfy people’s strong desire and need.
B. To promote trade and develop friendships.
C. To understand the climate change and its effects.
D. To improve the systems and services along the routes.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The Belt and Road Initiative.
B. The history of the Silk Road.
C. Brave businessmen and explorers.
D. China’s exploration across the sea.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国自古以来海上探索的历史及“一带一路”倡议的推进。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A trading route across the sea was also made longer along the coasts of the Indian Ocean, centered around Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).(一条横跨海洋的贸易路线也沿着印度洋海岸延伸得更长,以锡兰(现在的斯里兰卡)为中心。)”可知,一条海上航线沿着印度洋海岸延伸。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although China stopped further expeditions (远征) after 1433, these land and sea routes remained active channels between other cultures for centuries. (尽管中国在1433年后停止了进一步的远征,但这些陆地和海上航线在几个世纪以来一直是其他文化之间的活跃通道。)”可推知,明朝的远征对世界贸易产生了影响。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The aim of this initiative is to encourage cooperation and trade across the historic Silk Road areas, and strengthen the relations between China and the rest of the world.(这一倡议的目的是鼓励历史悠久的丝绸之路地区的合作与贸易,加强中国与世界其他国家的关系。)”可知,“一带一路”倡议的目标是促进贸易和发展友谊。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Marco Polo’s tales inspired European explorers to search for sea routes from west to east. However, businessmen and explorers from the East set sail from east to west many years before Columbus first did.(马可·波罗的故事激发了欧洲探险家寻找从西向东的海上航线。然而,在哥伦布首次这样做之前很多年,来自东方的商人和探险家就已经从东向西航行了。)”可知,文章主要讲述了中国自古以来海上探索的历史,包括古代海上丝绸之路、明朝郑和下西洋以及现代的“一带一路”倡议等。可知,D选项“China’s exploration across the sea.(中国跨越海洋的探索)”最符合文章主旨。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every time my family makes special plans, they end up getting canceled due to some incidents. Every time that happens, my parents would tell us to look on the bright side and make the best of a bad situation. However, I never managed to do that until this spring.
On a sunny morning last month, my aunt Jen invited us to the annual outdoor spring celebration at her farm. Since my family hadn’t done anything different for ages, the whole family was very excited and everyone pulled his own weight to make sure everything goes as planned. In order to add more fun to this exciting trip, my little sister Indi and my little brother Tex even joined me to make an extra- special treat—cupcakes.
The picnic intended to go from twelve to three. After double checking the car, my parents loaded books, games, picnic blanket, and a whole big pack of food into the car. The moment of our departure finally arrived as the clock struck 11. However, everything went wrong the instant we bravely drove off. First, we had to stop and wait for Tex to find his shoes. Next, as we were driving down the road, we had to go back to the house because my mom forgot her wallet. Then, about halfway to Aunt Jen’s house, we had to drive far out of our way to find a place for Indi to use the bathroom. After that, my parents decided it’d be quicker to take this one little side country road as a shortcut. But the shortcut ended up turning into a long cut! We drove forever on a winding road with wildflower field spreading endlessly out on both sides and the deep green pine trees going on and on within our sight. Spotting hundreds of birds flying in the sky, I was seized by a growing sense of desperation for I entirely had no idea when we could hit our destination.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Just then, our car started making a strange noise. Obviously, there was something wrong with it and we had to pull over and call roadside service. Dad comforted us and claimed that help would arrive soon. But help did not arrive soon at all. So frustrated was I that I felt the whole world crumbled with tears streaming down my cheeks. Then came my dad’s voice. “Look on the bright side,” said dad. Our car couldn’t have picked a prettier place to break down. Mom agreed, getting out the picnic blanket and suggested walking over to that gorgeous wildflower field and have our own springtime celebration.
At first, we kids weren’t exactly jumping up and down about the idea. We sadly carried stuff over to the field, dragged ourselves down, and grumbled. But as we started looking around, cool things started happening. Hundreds of butterflies were dancing on the boundless wildflower field, looking like a beautiful scroll spreading out just for us. With a whooshing sound, a flock of birds rose up out of the pine trees, and flew around and around in the most amazing wavelike patterns, right over our heads! Just right there, we enjoyed our hand-made special treats, which were so delicious! It ended up one of the most amazing picnics in my life.
