One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall,the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York.Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history,but also for its amazing sound.Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie,who paid for its construction.Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5th,1891.
The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon.The building became very old and in 1960,the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block.Isaac Stern led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally,the city of New York bought it for $5 million.It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.
Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programs and information from all over the world.Over 12,000 concert programs were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall’s concert history.
Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls,but the Main Hall,now called the Isaac Stern Auditorium,is the most famous.The hall itself can hold an audience of 2,804 in five levels of seating.
Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall,it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there.This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall’s history.Question:“How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” Answer:“Practice,practice,practice.”
1.How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history?
A.Through newspaper reports.
B.Through old concert programs.
C.Through old photographs.
D.Through old jokes.
2.Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny?
A.Because you expect the answer to be directions but not advice.
B.Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practice a lot.
C.Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.
D.Because you don’t expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.The History of Carnegie Hall
B.The Best Musician Having Played in Carnegie Hall
C.A Joke about Carnegie Hall
D.The Dream of Most Musicians

In 1996 John Jones made an unusual discovery.He had just enlarged a piece of paper money for a friend—a Confederate bank note,money issued(发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War.When he was face to face with the picture,he couldn’t believe his eyes: slaves happily picking cotton in their master’s fields.
Jones grew up in South Carolina.He had heard painful stories of slavery from his great-grandmother.The picture on the money did not match the history of African American slaves that he’d heard all his life.“I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.
Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy.He started doing research.
Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life.During two years’ search,Jones found more than 120 different bills.He discovered that the bills had several things in common.They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming.Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work.None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.
Jones wanted to share what he had learned.“I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said.He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money.After three years of work,Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes.He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared.“The Color of Money”—an exhibit(展览) of his work—has toured the country.
Jones’ paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago.He likes to repeat the saying,“The story is on the money.” In this case,the saying happens to be true.
4.How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?
A.Angry. B.Painful.
C.Excited. D.Surprised.
5.Why did Jones do research on the money?
A.He had never heard of Confederate money.
B.He wanted to learn about American history through it.
C.It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.
D.His great-grandmother told him some unusual stories about it.
6.What did Jones find in his research?
A.About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.
B.The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.
C.Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.
D.Slaves worked long hours on farms.
7.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Confederate Money
B.Money Tells a Story
C.African American Slaves
D.John Jones Changes America

When you study abroad in France,you can expect to be treated the same as your native classmates,whether in a lecture or a discussion class.
While you can study abroad in France and focus on nearly any subject,it’s the students with a passion for the arts,architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers.And that’s no shock,considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.
As students of the arts,you will have to make careful use of your time,given all that France has to offer.

•Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;
•The post-modern housing development,Marne-la-Vallee.
History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time.Over the course of the centuries,it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind,including the French Revolution,the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle.It was also the site of the D-Day invasion(诺曼底登陆) of World War Ⅱ.
As a possible study abroad location,France has a lot to offer,because the combination of educational institutions(教育机构),arts and culture,and national history are second to none.

一、阅读理解
A
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了美国著名的建筑之一卡耐基音乐厅的历史。
1.答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“收到12 000多份节目单,这样才能够记录下卡内基音乐厅比较完整的历史”可知,B项为正确答案。故选B。
2.答案 A
解析 细节理解题。民间流传着一个有关卡内基音乐厅的笑话:有人问:“去卡内基大厅怎么走?”按照常规思维,答话者应该直接指路,然而答话者却回答说:“练习、练习、再练习。”这就是这个笑话的幽默所在。故选A。
3.答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了卡内基音乐厅的历史。故选A。
B
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了一名美国艺术家展出80余幅绘画作品让人们了解美国南部奴隶的真实生活状况。
4.答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When he was face to face with the picture,he couldn’t believe his eyes...”和第二段中的“I had never seen that type of picture on money before.”可知,当Jones看到南部联盟纸币上的图案时,觉得很不可思议。故选D。
5.答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据前三段内容可知,南部联盟纸币上的图案显示奴隶快乐地在田间采摘棉花,这与Jones听过的有关奴隶的痛苦生活不相符,因此他决定一探究竟。故选C。
6.答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work.None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.”可知,Jones最后发现南部联盟纸币上的图案都将奴隶刻画成欢快劳作的样子,而从未描述他们生活的艰辛。故选B。
7.答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。Jones发现一张纸币上的图案展示的奴隶生活和他听说的有很大出入,经过深入调查他发现纸币上的图案都不能反映当时奴隶的真实状况。他花费三年的时间画了80余幅作品告知人们关于奴隶的真实故事。最后一段中的“The story is on the money.”点出文章的主旨。故B项作为标题贴切。
C
语篇解读:本文是说明文,主要是写法国未国外学生提供了许多好的学习机会,是国外学生学习艺术、建筑和历史的好地方。
8.答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据上文对法国的介绍再结合最后一段“As a possible study abroad location,France has a lot to offer,because the combination of educational institutions(教育机构),arts and culture,and national history are second to none.”可知,法国对热爱艺术的学生来说是最好的地方。
9.答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文中的“Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet,Matisse and Renoir;”可知,艺术系的学生周末可以去卢浮宫参观莫奈的作品。
10.答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据文中的“The Gothic Chateau de Chambord,built in the 1500s;Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;The post-modern housing development,Marne-la-Vallee.”可知B 项正确。
11.答案 A
解析 文章出处题。全文说的是在法国留学的学生可以在法国参观哪些著名的景点或艺术中心,应该是出自国外留学的网站。故选A项。
二、七选五
语篇解读:本文是议论文,文章谈到如何处理人们出现情绪失控的状态。当生气时,把生气这种状态埋藏在心底是不好的,要学会宣泄但是不要伤害别人,要用理智处理不良的情绪。
1.答案 D
解析 本段说的都是让人生气的原因,故D项“Many things may make you angry.”(许多事情会让你生气)切题。故选D。
2.答案 E
解析 根据下文提示“你呼吸加快了吗?你的脸是通红的吗?你想打碎东西吗?”可知,这些都是人们生气时的表现,所以E项“Usually your body will tell you when you are angry.”(通常当你生气的时候,你的身体会告诉你)切题。故选E。
3.答案 A
解析 根据下文“You should find a way to let it out without hurting yourself or others.”(你应该想办法在不伤害自己或他人的情况下发泄出来)可知,A项“It’s not good to hide your anger.”(隐藏你的愤怒是不好的)切题。
4.答案 C
解析 上文提示“如果你生气,不要失去控制”,再根据下文提示“而是要承认自己很生气,并试着分析原因”可知C项“Taking it out on others never solves anything.”(把怒气发泄在别人身上永远解决不了任何问题)切题。
5.答案 F
解析 根据上文提示“向一个成年人比如父母、老师或亲戚等倾诉你的愤怒是有帮助的”可知,F项 “Once you talk about anger,those bad feelings usually start to go away.”(一旦你谈论愤怒,那些不好的感觉通常就会消失)切题。
三、完形填空

1.答案 D
解析 根据语境可知,作者的大姐结婚,应该是花费了(spending)两万美金。
2.答案 D
解析 根据后文的“We only had $10,000.”可知,轮到二姐结婚时,作者家里只有一万美金,钱成了一个问题(problem)。
3.答案 A
解析 根据语境可知,为了攒够钱,作者的母亲将自己的金饰品偷偷卖了(sold)。
4.答案 B

四、语法填空
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了脸盲症的症状以及对脸盲症的一些研究。
1.答案 simply
解析 考查词性转换。修饰形容词impossible应用副词,故填simply。
2.答案 whose
解析 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,actual name与先行词之间为所属关系,故用whose作actual name的定语,故填whose。

7.答案 resulting
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句已经有谓语can identify,故此处应用现在分词短语作后置定语,故填resulting。
8.答案 shown
解析 考查非谓语动词。此处为状语从句的省略,when引导状语从句,设空处为the testees were shown的省略形式,故填shown。
9.答案 itself
解析 考查代词。根据句意并分析句子结构可知,设空处作this study的同位语,应用反身代词,指“这项研究本身”,故填itself。
10.答案 deeper
解析 考查形容词的比较级。根据空前的a much以及空后的understanding可知,空处应用形容词的比较级,表示“对于如何记住我们周围的世界有更深的理解”,故填deeper。

One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall,the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York.Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history,but also for its amazing sound.Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie,who paid for its construction.Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5th,1891.
The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon.The building became very old and in 1960,the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block.Isaac Stern led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally,the city of New York bought it for $5 million.It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.
Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programs and information from all over the world.Over 12,000 concert programs were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall’s concert history.
Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls,but the Main Hall,now called the Isaac Stern Auditorium,is the most famous.The hall itself can hold an audience of 2,804 in five levels of seating.
Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall,it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there.This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall’s history.Question:“How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” Answer:“Practice,practice,practice.”
1.How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history?
A.Through newspaper reports.
B.Through old concert programs.
C.Through old photographs.
D.Through old jokes.
2.Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny?

B.Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practice a lot.
C.Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.
D.Because you don’t expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.The History of Carnegie Hall

In 1996 John Jones made an unusual discovery.He had just enlarged a piece of paper money for a friend—a Confederate bank note,money issued(发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War.When he was face to face with the picture,he couldn’t believe his eyes: slaves happily picking cotton in their master’s fields.
Jones grew up in South Carolina.He had heard painful stories of slavery from his great-grandmother.The picture on the money did not match the history of African American slaves that he’d heard all his life.“I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.
Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy.He started doing research.
Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life.During two years’ search,Jones found more than 120 different bills.He discovered that the bills had several things in common.They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming.Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work.None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.
Jones wanted to share what he had learned.“I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said.He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money.After three years of work,Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes.He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared.“The Color of Money”—an exhibit(展览) of his work—has toured the country.
Jones’ paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago.He likes to repeat the saying,“The story is on the money.” In this case,the saying happens to be true.
4.How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?
A.Angry. B.Painful.
C.Excited. D.Surprised.
5.Why did Jones do research on the money?
A.He had never heard of Confederate money.
B.He wanted to learn about American history through it.
C.It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.
D.His great-grandmother told him some unusual stories about it.
6.What did Jones find in his research?
A.About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.
B.The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.
C.Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.
D.Slaves worked long hours on farms.
7.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Confederate Money
B.Money Tells a Story
C.African American Slaves
D.John Jones Changes America
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了一名美国艺术家展出80余幅绘画作品让人们了解美国南部奴隶的真实生活状况。
4.答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When he was face to face with the picture,he couldn’t believe his eyes...”和第二段中的“I had never seen that type of picture on money before.”可知,当Jones看到南部联盟纸币上的图案时,觉得很不可思议。故选D。
5.答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据前三段内容可知,南部联盟纸币上的图案显示奴隶快乐地在田间采摘棉花,这与Jones听过的有关奴隶的痛苦生活不相符,因此他决定一探究竟。故选C。
6.答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work.None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.”可知,Jones最后发现南部联盟纸币上的图案都将奴隶刻画成欢快劳作的样子,而从未描述他们生活的艰辛。故选B。
7.答案 B
解析 标题归纳题。Jones发现一张纸币上的图案展示的奴隶生活和他听说的有很大出入,经过深入调查他发现纸币上的图案都不能反映当时奴隶的真实状况。他花费三年的时间画了80余幅作品告知人们关于奴隶的真实故事。最后一段中的“The story is on the money.”点出文章的主旨。故B项作为标题贴切。
C
