Jessica Tandy probably is best known for winning an Academy Award in 1989 for the movie Driving Miss Dairy. She was the oldest person to have won the award. But for many years, she had received praise for her great performances.
Jessica Tandy was born in London in 1909. After her father died, her mother taught and took other jobs at night to make extra money to raise her, three children. Jessica’s older brothers showed an interest in the theater and often put on shows at home. Jessica said later that she was terrible in all of them. But she said taking part in those plays as a child created a desire in her to be someone else.
Jessica loved going to the theater. This love led her to attend an acting school in 1924. She performed in her first play called The Manderson Girls at 18. But few people watched this play. In 1932, she married the famous actor Jack Hawkins. Their wedding pictures were on the front page of many British newspapers. In the same year, critics in London recognized her great acting skill in her performance in the play Children in Uniform.
In 1940, Jessica ended her first marriage and moved to the USA. In New York, she met actor Hume Cronyn. Two years later, they married and moved to Hollywood.
Her turning point came in 1947 when she played the lead part in Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire. Tandy won the first of her four Tony awards for best actress in it. After that Hollywood producers began to choose her to be in the movie.

Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
44. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.
A. their home comforts
B. their body shape
C. house buying
D. healthy diets
45. A home environment in blue can help people ________.
A. digest food better
B. reduce food intake
C. burn more calories
D. regain their appetites
46. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A. Eat quickly.
B. Play fast music
C. Use smaller spoons
D. Turn down the lights
47. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?
A. House with enough brightness is helpful for people to go on diet
B. The more slowly you eat, the more food you will take in
C. Your house environment will certainly affect your weight
D. Cool colour will make food appear more attractive
D
Street art is a very popular form of art that is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on building, sidewalks, street sings and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris, and from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists. Even advertising companies also use street art in their ads due to its popularity.
Street art started out very secretly because it’s illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. People often have different opinions about street art. Some people think it is a crime with others think it’s a new form of culture.
Art experts claim that the movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults sprayed words and images on walls and trains. This colorful and energetic style of writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society. They didn’t want to accept rules, and they travelled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see. In many cases, they had trouble with the police and the local government.
Many street corners in Paris show the works of Space Invader. A French artist uses small pieces of glass to make images of space creatures. He has been doing this for some years and the police have arrested him a few times. On his website, you can see many other places where he has created this form of art.
Street artists do their work for some reasons. Some of them do not like the artists who make so much money in galleries and museums. They choose street art because it is closer to common people. Some artists try to express their political opinion in their works. They often want to protest against big firms and corporations. Others like to do things that are forbidden and hope they don't get caught.
In today’s world, the Internet has a big influence on street art. Artists can show their pictures to people all over the world. Many city residents, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it alive. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.
48. What may be the best title for the text?
A. A New Form of Art
B. The New Trend of Street Art
C. Discovery of Global Culture
D. Street Art-New Culture of Cities
49. Why do advertising companies use street art?
A. It has a free style. B. It has a great effect.
C. It’s popular with customers. D. It gives the impression of youth.
50. What’s the author’s attitude toward street art?
A. Objective. B. Subjective.
C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.

A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter failed a test. She was embarrassed, angry, anxious and there were tears in her eyes. This grade might prevent her from qualifying for the next key class she wanted to take.
She took some time to complain to me. Then I saw something interesting. She calmed herself down by making a joke. She expressed thankfulness that she didn’t have bigger problems. Then she made a plan to talk to her teacher to improve her skills. This was a great change from the kid I was watching deal with disappointment a few years ago,the one who once was unwilling to take responsibility and blamed others, which shows she has grown up and understood the good in the bad.
We expect our kids to learn and grow, but many of them will also grow through adversity (逆境), and even thrive (茁壮成长) after trauma (创伤). Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth. Trauma, defined as an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings, is painful and even can be harmful. Trauma does leave its mark, but the mark may not be all bad and there can also be growth.
In one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial adversity, even while working full-time. These people are also the parents or primary caregivers or young children in education. And those surveyed had either been sick with an illness or had a loved one who’s been in bad health. Despite all of this adversity, 88 percent of the people surveyed said they now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation for life. Some said they experienced spiritual growth and 11 percent reported they discovered new opportunities.
Hardship makes us adapt, respond, and find other ways to solve it. When we do, we become not only able to heal the trauma associated with it but also thrive again. We build up confidence and experience that will help us the next time we face adversity.
51. How did the author’s daughter react after failing the test?
A. She blamed other people for her failure.
B. She felt grateful and meant to improve.
C. She became more anxious and angrier.
D. She refused to take responsibility.
52. What positive change did the author observe in their daughter?
A. She became more frighted of difficulties in life.
B. She developed a stronger support system.
C. She became more negative and disappointed.
D. She grew up and understood the value of hardships.
53. What did the study mentioned in the article tell about surveyed people?
A. They became more disconnected from others.
B. They developed responsible attitude towards their families.
C. They had a better family and increased appreciation for life.
D. They experienced a decline in their overall well-being.
54. How does hardship contribute to personal growth according to the article?
A. It prevents a person from healing from trauma.
B. It limits personal ability to adapt to adversity.
C. It encourages a person to find different solutions and develops confidence.
D. It results in long-term negative effects on a person’s emotional well-being.
55. What is the main message of the article regarding adversity and growth?
A. Hardship can lead to personal growth.
B. Traumatic events leave only harmful effects.
C. Adversity always leads to negative outcomes.
D People who face trauma are unable to heal from it.

Jessica Tandy probably is best known for winning an Academy Award in 1989 for the movie Driving Miss Dairy. She was the oldest person to have won the award. But for many years, she had received praise for her great performances.
Jessica Tandy was born in London in 1909. After her father died, her mother taught and took other jobs at night to make extra money to raise her, three children. Jessica’s older brothers showed an interest in the theater and often put on shows at home. Jessica said later that she was terrible in all of them. But she said taking part in those plays as a child created a desire in her to be someone else.
Jessica loved going to the theater. This love led her to attend an acting school in 1924. She performed in her first play called The Manderson Girls at 18. But few people watched this play. In 1932, she married the famous actor Jack Hawkins. Their wedding pictures were on the front page of many British newspapers. In the same year, critics in London recognized her great acting skill in her performance in the play Children in Uniform.
In 1940, Jessica ended her first marriage and moved to the USA. In New York, she met actor Hume Cronyn. Two years later, they married and moved to Hollywood.
Her turning point came in 1947 when she played the lead part in Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire. Tandy won the first of her four Tony awards for best actress in it. After that Hollywood producers began to choose her to be in the movie.

【40题详解】
细节理解题,本题问“Jessica早期对于表演的兴趣源自于哪里?”通过对文章的阅读,我们可以将答案定位到文章第二段的Jessica’s older brothers showed an interest in the theater and often put on shows at home. Jessica said later that she was terrible in all of them. But she said taking part in those plays as a child created a desire in her to be someone else.可知,Jessica的哥哥对戏剧表现出浓厚的兴趣,并常在家里表演,接着Jessica受到自己哥哥的影响,开始对表演产生兴趣。故本题选择B项her brothers’ influence。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。本题问“什么使得主人公第一次被公众所熟知?”通过对文章的阅读我们可以将答案定位到文章的第三段she married the famous actor Jack Hawkins. Their wedding pictures were on the front page of many British newspapers.(她嫁给了著名演员Jack Hawkins。他们婚礼的照片上了英国各大报纸的头条。)可知,她与霍金斯的婚礼使她被公众所熟知,故选C项。

细节理解题。本题问“通过对文章最后一段的阅读,我们可以得知什么?”文章前半部分写道,由于受到哥哥的影响主人公喜欢上了表演,故A选项“ Jessica wasn’t interested in acting in movies”(Jessica并不对电影表演感兴趣),该选项与题意不符故将其排除;C选项Jessica would perform better if given a better part如果给她一个更好的角色她会演的更为出色,文章没提到这一点,故将C选项排除;D选项Jessica was as confident as commonly considered(Jessica像其他人一样的自信),文章中写道She was surprised when she won the Academy Award for Driving Miss Daisy.可知,她对自己能拿奖很吃惊,因而体现出她对自己并不是很自信,故将D项排除,故本题选择B项winning the Academy Award was a surprise to Jessica。
【名师点睛】
对于考查文章细节内容的题目来说,考生在理解文章大意的同时,更重要的是要弄懂题目的意思,例如本文的第二题,第二题的题目为“What made Jessica first widely known to the public?”这句话意思为“什么事件使得杰西卡第一次为公众所熟知?”在了解题目的意思之后我们就可以带着我们对于这道题题目的理解到文章中去找寻问题的答案,我们要在文章中找到与“被公众熟知”相关的内容,我们在第三段中找到“ Their wedding pictures were on the front page of many British newspapers.”他们的婚礼照片出现在许多报纸的头版,因而我们可以将答案定位到文章的第三段,最后再在选项中寻找分析出与文章对应内容最为相符的选项。
C
Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places — and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock — or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
44. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.
A. their home comforts
B. their body shape
C. house buying
D. healthy diets
45. A home environment in blue can help people ________.
A. digest food better
B. reduce food intake
C. burn more calories
D. regain their appetites
46. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?
A. Eat quickly.
B. Play fast music
C. Use smaller spoons
D. Turn down the lights
47. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?
A. House with enough brightness is helpful for people to go on diet
B. The more slowly you eat, the more food you will take in
C. Your house environment will certainly affect your weight
D. Cool colour will make food appear more attractive
【答案】44. B 45. B 46. C 47. A
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文,主要介绍了房屋以及屋内的各种物品甚至颜色都会对你的身形产生影响。文章开头点出文章主题,在接下来的部分中介绍了灯光,颜色,以及时钟和餐具对自己身形所产生的影响。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。本题意为“本文会尤其会对那些人群更有帮助?”通过阅读文章,文章的开头部分便讲到Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.(专家称你设计自己家的方式对于你体重的变化起到了一定的作用。)因而我们可以理解到房屋设计可能会对屋主的体形产生影响,故综合分析选项,B选项 their body shape最为符合题意,故本题选择C项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。本题意为蓝色的家装环境对人们有什么帮助?通过问题可以将答案定位到文章第三段In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.(一项研究表明那些在蓝色房间就餐的人们会比在黄色和红色屋子里就餐的人群,要少消耗百分之三十三的食物。)故B选项reduce food intake(减少食物摄入)符合文章内容,故选择B项。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。本题意为人们被建议在吃饭时做什么事?通过对文章内容的理解可以将答案定位到文章最后两段,最后两段介绍了人们在吃饭时,做什么是多消耗食物还是少消耗食物,作者在这一部分也提出了一些建议。作者在倒数第二段讲到要尽量延长吃饭时间,故A选项Eat quickly.不符合题意,故不选,同时这一段也讲到If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music“如果你需要点儿帮助类吃的慢一点的话,那么就听一点儿舒缓的音乐,故B项 Play fast music不符合题意;文章最后一自然段讲到“When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent.”当你选择使用容量更大而非是更小的勺子时,你所摄入的总的能量就会上升百分之十四,因此在此处作者建议人们在吃饭时使用更小的容器,故C选项Use smaller spoons符合文章内容,故本题选择C项。
【47题详解】
判断推理题,根据文章判断下列哪个是正确的?A选项意为明亮的颜色有助于人们进行节食,在文章中我们可以定位到文章的第二段Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.意为昏暗有助于增进食欲,而明亮不会增进食欲,故A选项正确。故本题选择A项。

Street art is a very popular form of art that is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on building, sidewalks, street sings and trash cans from Tokyo to Paris, and from Moscow to Cape Town. Street art has become a global culture and even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists. Even advertising companies also use street art in their ads due to its popularity.
Street art started out very secretly because it’s illegal to paint on public and private property without permission. People often have different opinions about street art. Some people think it is a crime with others think it’s a new form of culture.
Art experts claim that the movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults sprayed words and images on walls and trains. This colorful and energetic style of writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦). Graffiti art showed that young people wanted to rebel against society. They didn’t want to accept rules, and they travelled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see. In many cases, they had trouble with the police and the local government.
Many street corners in Paris show the works of Space Invader. A French artist uses small pieces of glass to make images of space creatures. He has been doing this for some years and the police have arrested him a few times. On his website, you can see many other places where he has created this form of art.
Street artists do their work for some reasons. Some of them do not like the artists who make so much money in galleries and museums. They choose street art because it is closer to common people. Some artists try to express their political opinion in their works. They often want to protest against big firms and corporations. Others like to do things that are forbidden and hope they don't get caught.
In today’s world, the Internet has a big influence on street art. Artists can show their pictures to people all over the world. Many city residents, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it alive. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.
48. What may be the best title for the text?
A. A New Form of Art
B. The New Trend of Street Art
C. Discovery of Global Culture
D. Street Art-New Culture of Cities
49. Why do advertising companies use street art?
A. It has a free style. B. It has a great effect.
C. It’s popular with customers. D. It gives the impression of youth.
50. What’s the author’s attitude toward street art?
A. Objective. B. Subjective.
C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
【答案】48. D 49. C 50. A
【解析】

48题详解】
主旨大意题。该题意为文章最好的题目应当是哪一个?通过对文章的阅读,本文主要是围绕街头艺术的起源,发展,现状来进行介绍的,因此该文章的题目应当以街头艺术为中心,能够表达文章的主旨,综合分析ABCD四个选项,B选项和D选项都与街头艺术相关,B选项The New Trend of Street Art指的是街头文化的新趋势,D选项Street Art-New Culture of Cities指的是城市中的新文化——街头艺术。本文通篇讲的都是城市中的各种街头艺术的发展,而非街头艺术的新趋势,相较之下D选项更为符合题意,故本题选择D项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。该题题目意为为什么广告公司会使用街头艺术?通过对文章的理解可以将答案定位到文章第一段的末尾advertising companies also use street art in their ads due to its popularity.可知,由于街头艺术的流行而被广告公司所采用,故本题选择C选项 It’s popular with customers(受顾客所喜爱)。
【50题详解】
观点态度题。本题意为作者对于街头文化持何种态度?文章的最后一段讲到:随着互联网技术的发展,艺术家们可以通过互联网将他们的作品传播到世界的各个角落,同时作者在此处话风一转提到,居住在城市中的居民们还是更喜欢活跃在城市中的活的艺术形式,因此我们可以判断出作者对于街头艺术这一文化形式持有一种不偏不倚的态度,故本题选择C项Objective(客观的)。
【名师点睛】该篇阅读理解旨在考查考生对于文章主题的把握和主体内容的理解,本题中出现了考查了作者观点态度的题型,对于该种题型考生一定要紧紧把握住文章的开头和结尾这两个最容易体现出作者观点态度的部分。在本文的第三题中就提问了作者对于街头艺术持有什么样的态度,接着我们就到文章的开头和结尾部分去寻找答案,在本文的最后那一段我们发现作者使用了however这一表示转折的词语,这说明作者在赞同转折之前部分的同时也赞同后面的部分,因此作者持有一种客观的态度,故选objective。

A few weeks ago, my teenage daughter failed a test. She was embarrassed, angry, anxious and there were tears in her eyes. This grade might prevent her from qualifying for the next key class she wanted to take.
She took some time to complain to me. Then I saw something interesting. She calmed herself down by making a joke. She expressed thankfulness that she didn’t have bigger problems. Then she made a plan to talk to her teacher to improve her skills. This was a great change from the kid I was watching deal with disappointment a few years ago,the one who once was unwilling to take responsibility and blamed others, which shows she has grown up and understood the good in the bad.
We expect our kids to learn and grow, but many of them will also grow through adversity (逆境), and even thrive (茁壮成长) after trauma (创伤). Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth. Trauma, defined as an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, attack, natural disaster, or other life-changing happenings, is painful and even can be harmful. Trauma does leave its mark, but the mark may not be all bad and there can also be growth.
In one study, researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial adversity, even while working full-time. These people are also the parents or primary caregivers or young children in education. And those surveyed had either been sick with an illness or had a loved one who’s been in bad health. Despite all of this adversity, 88 percent of the people surveyed said they now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation for life. Some said they experienced spiritual growth and 11 percent reported they discovered new opportunities.
Hardship makes us adapt, respond, and find other ways to solve it. When we do, we become not only able to heal the trauma associated with it but also thrive again. We build up confidence and experience that will help us the next time we face adversity.
51. How did the author’s daughter react after failing the test?
A. She blamed other people for her failure.
B. She felt grateful and meant to improve.
C. She became more anxious and angrier.
D. She refused to take responsibility.
52. What positive change did the author observe in their daughter?
A. She became more frighted of difficulties in life.
B. She developed a stronger support system.
C. She became more negative and disappointed.
D. She grew up and understood the value of hardships.
