Although it is quite small, the architect did his best to use luxurious materials. One of the famous pieces of furniture, specially created for the building, is the Barcelona Chair. Villa Dirickz （Brussels, Belgium, 1933） Villa Dirickz has eye-catching blocky features,glass works and white concrete surrounded by greenery. The villa is equipped with advanced facilities like a cinema. It was ignored till a developer bought it in 2007 and devoted all possible resources to its repairs. Isokon Building （London, UK, 1934） The building, consisting of 32 apartments, is still in use today. It also includes staff rooms and a large garage. The apartments have a shared kitchen for people to prepare food freely. A shared gallery is built in the garage to tell people about the history of the building. Neue National Galerie （Berlin, Germany, 1968） The museum hosts an art collection that dates back to the early years of the 20th century. Its typical modernist design includes a cantilevered roof and flat appearances. The building is surrounded by a sculptured landscape. 21．What do we know about Barcelona Pavilion? A.

Neue National Galerie. [答案] 21．B 22．C 23．D [解析] 21．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A cantilevered roof...use luxurious materials.”可知,巴塞罗那德国馆的特色是它的屋顶。 22．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The apartments have a shared kitchen for people to prepare food freely.”可知,人们可以烹饪食物。 23．细节理解题。根据各段小标题可知,新国家艺术画廊的历史最短。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四座著名的现代建筑。 B The exact location in France where Dutch master Vincent van Gogh painted his last work of art has been discovered. A Dutch researcher figured out that a scene described in the artist's last work, Tree Roots, was visible on a postcard showing a man standing next to a bicycle on a back street of the village Auvers-sur-Oise. Vincent van Gogh spent the last weeks of his life in the village. Helpfully, the card even included the name of the street. Researchers were given a unique glimpse （体验） into the famous painter's final hours. He was at work right up to the end. Wouter van der Veen, scientific director of the Van Gogh Institute in France, made the discovery. While stuck at home, Wouter van der Veen used the extra time to organise the numerous files and documents on Vincent van Gogh, including images such as the old postcard from Auvers-sur-Oise. One day in late April, he saw the card on his computer screen and it suddenly struck him that he was looking at the location of Tree Roots. Next to the man and his bicycle, roots and trees are clearly visible. He took a virtual trip down the site using a map software. “Villagers know the spot and the main tree root well, even giving it the name ‘the elephant’ because of its shape,” Wouter van der Veen said.“It was really hiding in overt sight.” The discovery provides tourists with an extra reason to visit Auvers-sur-Oise.“They travel a lot just for one reason—to walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh. Now they can stand at the very place where he painted his last painting,” Wouter van der Veen said.“And that's a very moving thing for a lot of people. So I'm very happy to be able to share that with all those who love Vincent van Gogh.” 24．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What the postcard revealed. B. How Tree Roots was discovered. C. Why Auvers-sur-Oise became known. D. Where Vincent van Gogh painted his works. 25．How did Wouter van der Veen confirm his discovery? A. He studied a picture of Auvers-sur-Oise. B. He organised his data on Van Gogh. C. He travelled to France to see it for himself. D. He paid a visit to the spot online. 26．What does the underlined word “overt” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Mixed. B. Obvious. C. Lovely. D. Strange. 27．What can we infer about tourists to Auvers-sur-Oise? A. They enjoy exploring how to paint. B. They share their love for painting. C. They admire Vincent van Gogh very much. D. They want to experience the life there. [答案] 24．A 25．D 26．B 27．C [解析] 24．段落大意题。根据第二段中的“A Dutch researcher figured out...street of the village Auvers-sur-Oise.”可知,第二段承接上文,主要描述这一发现的由来,即在一张明信片上发现了梵高最后一幅画中的场景。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He took a virtual trip...using a map software.”可知,研究人员范德文在看过明信片后,通过一个地图软件进行了确认。 26．词义猜测题。根据第五段的内容可知,梵高最后一幅画中的场景并不是鲜为人知的地方,相反,很多人都知道这里,但就是没有人将它们联系起来,overt在这里应表示“明显的”以表达“藏在眼皮子底下”的含义。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中范德文说的话可知,慕名而来的游客们大多是出于对梵高的欣赏和仰慕,想要追寻他最后的足迹。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了研究人员偶然间在一张明信片上发现了梵高人生中最后一幅画创作的地点。 C A walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts （MMFA） places individuals face to face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture. While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe （开处方） museum visits as treatment for some illnesses. “We know that art contributes to neural （神经的） activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.” Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin （血清素）, a neurotransmitter （神经递质） known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood. According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity. The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says.“When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.” “I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.” 28．What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits? A. They can cheer people up. B. They can reduce physical activity. C. They can slow down our life pace. D. They can increase levels of art appreciation. 29．How do museum visits affect people? A. Stop them focusing on traditional methods. B. Stop them concentrating on pain. C. Encourage them not to be absent-minded. D. Encourage them to slow their steps while walking. 30．What does the last paragraph suggest? A. Physical activity was popular in the 19th century. B. Sports are considered to be harmful to the body. C. Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time. D. Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now. 31．What is the main idea of the passage? A. Museum visits are ideal for the elderly. B. The happy chemical helps to lift the mood. C. Peaceful environment helps escape from pain. D. Cultural activities can promote health. [答案] 28．A 29．B 30．C 31．D [解析] 28．细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,海琳·波伊尔认为参观博物馆可以帮助人们振作起来。 29．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“What is most important ...escape from the speed of our daily life.”可知,参观博物馆可以让人们逃离痛苦。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Some people would do well ...prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”可推知,治疗疾病的观念会随着时间的推移而改变。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段通过描述参观蒙特利尔美术博物馆引出本文话题,接着介绍当地医生可能会给病人开参观博物馆的处方来治疗一些疾病,说明艺术欣赏对人们的健康有积极作用,即文化活动可以促进健康。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了参观博物馆不仅能让人们受到艺术的熏陶,而且还能舒缓心情、治疗疾病。 D Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But do you know that showering can also benefit your mind? A research by Scott Barry Kaufman,a psychologist from Yale University interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work. So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it. Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine （多巴胺）, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine,” explained Alice Flaherty,a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!’ moment to us.” Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. Compared with sitting in front of a computer,taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering,we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.” Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds,but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration.

Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面的材料，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。 It was a sunny day, Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because the day was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win the contest. But there was one thing that was disturbing her. Recently, a new girl, Rida, joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skills. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in sixth grade. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida's intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. Before the contest, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their seat numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia's seat number was 16, while Rida's was 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels （油画棒）. Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she suddenly remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia's carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to be prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia's best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia's surprise and disappointment. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Anabia's eyes filled with tears.   Then Rida held Anabia's hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced.   [答案] One possible version： Anabia's eyes filled with tears. She was afraid that she would lose the drawing contest before she even started. Just then, a box of oil pastels appeared in front of her eyes. “If you don't mind, I think we can share them.” Rida, the girl who she once hoped to beat, lent a helping hand. Anabia hesitated, but quickly accepted her help, and they were both absorbed in their works. Time went by in the blink of an eye. After handing in her work, Anabia reached out her hand. Then Rida held Anabia's hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced.“I'm sorry. I once became jealous of you, and hoped to beat you,” Anabia apologized sincerely. Rida hugged her delightedly and said she hoped they would be friends in the future. It seemed that who would be the winner was not so important at the moment. The sun shone warm sunlight into the room and also shone on the hearts of the two girls. The world always prepares a surprise for the people who like the sun. They both got first place. 101/106 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
