Ⅰ.阅读理解 A A painting of a famous artist could cost several million dollars in the market.This is why many artworks—even those that are housed inside highly guarded museums—go missing.Here is a list of some of the most famous paintings that were lost，stolen or destroyed. Vincent Van Gogh's Poppy Flowers This artwork was housed at the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo.It was first lost in 1977，but was recovered 10 years later.The second time this same Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen was in August of 2010.The painting is estimated(估价) to be worth something between $50 and $55 million. Pablo Picasso's Le Pigeon Aux Petits Stolen on May 20,2010，this painting by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is worth $28 million.It was stolen at the Museed' Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris，along with five other artworks.However，the thieves threw the painting away in a trashcan when they were caught.But that container was emptied before the authorities got there.It was feared that the painting was already destroyed. Paul Cezanne's View of Auvers Sur Oise Lost on December 31,1990，this artwork that used to be on exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was stolen the night before the city's Millennium celebration.The thieves planned the robbery in time with the fireworks exhibition during peak of the celebrations.This artwork is estimated to be worth $5 million. Govert Flinck's Landscape with an Obelisk Stolen on March 18,1990，this artwork was at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston.This painting by Govert Flinck was previously believed to be a Rembrandt creation.A huge cash reward of $5 million will be given to the person who can provide information leading to the recovery of the painting. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了在博物馆被盗或被毁的四幅绘画作品：梵高的《罂粟花》、毕加索的《鸽子与豌豆》、保罗的《奥维尔风景》以及各瓦特·弗林克的《方尖塔风景》。 1．In which of the following cities was Le Pigeon Aux Petits stolen? A．Cairo.　　　　　　　 B．Paris. C．Oxford. D．Boston. 解析　细节理解题。根据文章小标题“Pablo Picasso's Le Pigeon Aux Petits(毕加索的《鸽子与豌豆》)”下的“It was stolen at the Museed' Art Modern de la Ville de Paris，along with five other artworks.(这幅画和其他五件艺术品一起在巴黎市政厅现代艺术博物馆被盗。)”可知，《鸽子与豌豆》在巴黎与其他五件艺术品一起被盗。因此，《鸽子与豌豆》被盗的城市是：B项“Paris(巴黎)”符合题意。故选B。 答案　B 2．Who was mistakenly thought to create Landscape with an Obelisk? A．Pablo Picasso. B．Paul Cezanne. C．Govert Flinck. D．Rembrandt. 解析　细节理解题。根据文章小标题“Govert Flinck's Landscape with an Obelisk(各瓦特·弗林克的《方尖塔风景》)”下的“This painting by Govert Flinck was previously believed to be a Rembrandt creation.(这幅由各瓦特·弗林克创作的油画曾被认为是伦勃朗的作品。)”可知，弗林克的这幅画以前被认为是伦勃朗的作品。因此，被错误地认为创作了《方尖塔风景》的是：D项“Rembrandt(伦勃朗)”符合题意。故选D。 答案　D 3．What can we infer about the four artworks mentioned in the text? A．They are given an approximate price. B．They are stolen when on exhibition. C．Some of them are lost more than 30 years. D．Some of them have been found so far. 解析　推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Lost on December 31,1990，this artwork that used to be on exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was stolen the night before the city's Millennium celebration.(1990年12月31日，这件曾在牛津阿什莫伦博物馆展出的艺术品在该市千年庆典的前一晚失窃。)”以及最后一段“Stolen on March 18,1990，this artwork was at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston.(这幅画于1990年3月18日失窃，收藏在波士顿的伊莎贝拉斯图尔特加德纳博物馆。)”可知，保罗的《奥维尔风景》以及各瓦特·弗林克的《方尖塔风景》这两幅作品的失窃时间都是1990年，至今有三十多年了。因此，对于文中提到的四件艺术品，我们能推断出：C项“Some of them are lost more than 30 years(其中一些已经失去了超过30年)”符合题意。故选C。 答案　C B Girl with a Pearl Earring has been part of the Mauritshuis' collection in the Hague since 1902 and is still on display at the museum.Rumours (谣言) have surrounded Johannes Vermeer's work ever since it was rediscovered in the late 19th century，and this painting still continues to generate interest，debate and imagination. Although Vermeer was among the most successful artists working in Delft during the 17th century，he was almost completely forgotten after his death in 1675.Even during his lifetime，Vermeer's influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a painter and art dealer.What's more，Vermeer's name is rarely mentioned in historical records and he left behind barely any other documents about his career or personal history. Very little is known about Girl with a Pearl Earring.However，art historians have decided several important facts about the painting.Recent research suggests that the black，negative space behind Vermeer's model was originally painted dark green. Much like other artists of his time，Vermeer enjoyed painting figures dressed in Middle Eastern clothes.As his model is dressed in a turban(女用头巾)，many art historians argue that the Vermeer's painting shouldn't be considered as a portrait(肖像画)at all.Instead，most scholars agree that Girl with a Pearl Earring belongs to a kind of painting called Tronie that began in the Low Countries around Vermeer's time.This type of artwork often portrays(描绘) characters rather than actual people.It portrays a certain type of character；in this case a girl in fanciful cress，wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear. It is interesting to note that the painting was known as Girl with Turban or simply Young Girl for most of its existence and only received its current name less than a century ago.While it is impossible to identify Vermeer's model，due to a complete lack of evidence，he may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the painting. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》背后的故事。 4．What do we learn about Johannes Vermeer when he was alive? A．He lived a very hard life. B．He wasn't a gifted artist. C．He liked writing about himself. D．He wasn't much known out of his city. 解析　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Even during his lifetime，Vermeer's influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a painter and art dealer.(即使在他的一生中，Vermeer的影响也主要局限于代尔夫特，他在那里以画家和艺术品经销商的身份谋生。)”可知，在Johannes Vermeer活着的时候，他在他的城市之外并不出名。故选D。 答案　D 5．What made some scholars regard Girl with a Pearl Earring as a work of Tronic? A．The girl's special expression. B．The girl's unusual dressing C．The model's unclear gesture. D．The model's background painting 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Much like other artists of his time，Vermeer enjoyed painting figures dressed in Middle Eastern clothes.As his model is dressed in a turban，many art historians argue that the Vermeer's painting shouldn't be considered as a portrait at all.Instead，most scholars agree that Girl with a Pearl Earring belongs to a kind of painting called Tronie(和他那个时代的其他艺术家一样，Vermeer喜欢画穿着中东服装的人物。由于他的模特戴着头巾，许多艺术历史学家认为Vermeer的画根本不应该被视为肖像画。相反，大多数学者认为《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》属于一种名为Tronie形式的画作)”可知，女孩不寻常的着装使一些学者认为《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》是属于Tronie形式的作品。故选B。 答案　B 6．What can we know about the painting from the last paragraph? A．Its model remains mysterious. B．Its name is still controversial. C．It was severely damaged a century ago. D．It was inspired by a daughter of the artist. 解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While it is impossible to identify Vermeer's model，due to a complete lack of evidence，he may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the painting.(虽然无法确定Vermeer的模特，由于完全缺乏证据，他可能让他的七个女儿中的一个坐下来画这幅画。)”可知，这幅画的模特仍然很神秘。故选A。 答案　A 7．What would be the best title for the text? A．Life experiences of Johannes Vermeer B．The model of Girl with a Pearl Earring C．The story behind Girl with a Pearl Earring D．Characteristics of Johannes Vermeer's painting 解析　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Girl with a Pearl Earring has been part of the Mauritshuis' collection in the Hague since 1902 and is still on display at the museum.Rumors have surrounded Johannes Vermeer's work ever since it was rediscovered in the late 19th century，and this painting still continues to generate interest，debate and imagination.(自1902年以来，《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》一直是毛里泰斯在海牙的收藏品，现在仍在该博物馆展出。自从Johannes Vermeer的作品在19世纪末被重新发现以来，围绕着它的流言四起，这幅画至今仍在继续引起人们的兴趣、争论和想象。)”可知，文章主要讲述了关于绘画《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》的故事。这篇文章最好的题目是“《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》背后的故事”。故选C。 答案　C Ⅱ.七选五 You may want to make sure you get the most out of your teenage years.Working hard as a teen can help you develop good habits you can carry into adulthood.There are a variety of ways you can upgrade your life as a teenager.

[语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了可以提高青少年生活质量的一些方法。 1．D　根据本段小标题“Discover what inspires you.(发现激励你的东西。)”可知，本段内容和“inspire”有关，下文“This may mean you have a passion for art or art history.(这可能意味着你对艺术或艺术史有热情。)”和D项：Maybe you love reading about artists and find going to art museums inspiring.(也许你喜欢阅读有关艺术家的书籍，觉得去艺术博物馆很有启发。)形成解释说明关系。故选D。 2．C　空处为段落主题句。根据下文“It's important to have goals as a teen，as these can help shape your adult life.(作为一个青少年，有目标是很重要的，因为这些目标可以帮助塑造你的成年生活。)”可知，上文提到的内容和“goal”相关。C项：After you've spent some time considering your passions，set goals for yourself.(在你花了一些时间考虑你的爱好之后，为自己设定目标。)符合语境。故选C。 3．G　根据上文内容“Specific and realistic goals work best.(具体而现实的目标效果最好。)”可知，空处应该解释说明设定的目标要具体化。G项：That means when writing goals you should state clearly how you want to go after these things.(这意味着在写目标的时候，你应该清楚地说明你想要如何实现这些目标。)符合语境。故选G。 4．E　根据上文内容“It's great to be open to trying new things as a teen，and important to make the most of your teenage years.(作为一个青少年，开放地尝试新事物是很好的，并且充分利用你的青少年时期是很重要的。)”和下文内容“True friends will not try to pressure you into doing something you don't want to do.(真正的朋友不会强迫你做你不想做的事。)”可知，空处和上文形成转折关系。E项：However，you should not do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe.(然而，你不应该做任何让你感到不舒服或不安全的事情。)符合语境。故选E。 5．B　本段的主题句是“Accept your strengths and weaknesses.(接受自己的优点和缺点。)”再根据上文“You may not have a gift for writing，but you may excel at science courses.(你可能没有写作的天赋，但你可能擅长理科课程。)”可知，空处应该是说明需要了解自己的优点。B项：Focus on what you're good at，and what you enjoy.(专注于你擅长的和你喜欢的。)符合语境。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
