Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning. Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back. In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me. Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful. I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were. 41. What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class? A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading. 42. What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class? A. He asked students to count lines. B. He stressed the importance of play. C. He analyzed literature in a new way. D. He showed great devotion to students. 43. What does the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers. C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers’ points. 44. What best describes the two teachers according to the text? A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict. 45. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To show love for French literature. B. To explore the meaning of education. C. To explain why teachers are important. D. To share memories of the two teachers. C In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg. Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others promote the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century. One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too. “There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.” But there’s an appeal in that weakness. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness. Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex patterns were believed to offer protection against evil. “There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not take over in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives. Although the tradition dates back to 300 B. C., the old symbols on the eggs still reflect their good wishes. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest. 46. Why do people in many cultures prize the egg? A. It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring. B. It is their major source of protein in winter. C. It can easily be made into a work of art. D. It can bring wealth and honor to them. 47. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia? A. They are shaped like jewel cases. B. They are cherished by the rich. C. They are heavily painted in red. D. They are favored as a form of art. 48. Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition? A. Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life. B. Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists. C. Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today. D. Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on. 49. Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs? A. She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B. She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C. She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D. She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end. 50. What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting? A. The Russians prefer baking red eggs into breads. B. It has a history of over two thousand years. C. It is the most time-honored form of fancy art. D. It is especially favored as a church decoration. D Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is important to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly. 51. Why should pruning be done? A. To make the tree grow taller. B. To improve the shape of the tree. C. To get rid of the small branches. D. To make the small branches thicker. 52. Trees will become unhealthy if the gardener ______. A. gives a tree a special shape and a definite height B. removes small side branches and makes a tree look less thick C. allows too many branches to grow in the middle D. has a tree surrounded by many other trees 53. Why is a special material painted on the tree? A. To prevent disease entering a wound. B. To cover a rough surface. C. To make a wound smooth. D. To help a wound to dry. 54. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The author tends to favor pruning frequently. B. It’s easy to find a reason to prune trees. C. Pruning trees properly is not easy. D. Pruned trees will always grow taller. 55. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Discussing different methods of pruning. B. Introducing some potential risks of pruning a tree. C. Explaining how trees develop disease. D. Giving practical instructions for pruning a tree. 四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 They say to find out what you really want, go back to when you were a child. When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discouraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the most beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a project to create a portrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were done, we presented our portraits. We stood in front of the class and explained our technique. I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?” But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can paint over it. I can mix colors and make new ones. Also, I can release some creative juices, use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined. But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, I just decided to change what beauty looked like. I changed what beauty meant to me. Throughout school, they taught us about Picasso, Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci who were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them. But that’s not what I saw around me. Then I learned about Basquiat, who inspired me to paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m moved, and I am often moved by what’s natural: emotions, nature, and other forms of art. I am also very moved by pain. When there is pain in the world or in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a conversation with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me, “Pain is energy. You have to learn how to channel that energy into something productive.” So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting. Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by society’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able to create something. My paintings may not be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, so I love them anyway. 56. What was the author’s dream as a kid? (no more than 5 words) _______________________________________________________________ 57. What did the author find after the portrait presentation?（no more than 15words） _______________________________________________________________ 58.

My name is Li Jin. As the picture vividly shows, a student stands at a crossroads, with four signs pointing in different directions: Parents’ Advice, Peer Influence, Social Trends and Inner Voice. Each represents a different force shaping our life choices. Faced with these options, I choose to follow my Inner Voice. There are two main reasons behind my decision. First, my inner voice reflects my true passions and strengths. Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by environmental science. Though my parents suggested I study finance, and my peers often talk about popular majors like computer science, I know that protecting nature is what truly drives me. Choosing my passion means I will stay motivated even when challenges arise. Second, following my inner voice helps me take responsibility for my own life. If I choose a path based on others’ expectations, I might end up feeling unfulfilled and regretful. Taking charge of my choices allows me to grow as an independent person, learning from both successes and mistakes along the way. I’m curious to hear about your experiences. What voices do you listen to when making big decisions? Do you have any stories about choosing your own path? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
