A small stove was on the table, with melted golden sugar in a pot. The sugar was sweet, giving out a light 12 . Without any drawing tools, he only used a small iron spoon.

Born in 1895 in Jiangsu province, Xu was one of the “fathers of modern Chinese art”. Xu started learning Chinese painting when he was 9 years old. In 1919, he went to Paris to study sketching (素描) and learned about Western art. He worked hard to mix Chinese and Western art styles. In one of his famous works, Three Horses, Xu put together traditional Chinese coloring skills with Western realism (现实主义) to paint three strong horses standing under a big tree. After returning to China in 1927, Xu set up the National Central University Art Department. While Xu was best known for painting horses, he also painted other animals, people and important historical scenes. Many of his animal paintings have deeper meanings. In Meeting of Forces in Tokyo (《会师东京》), painted in 1943, the artist shows a group of lions that stand for China and other countries fighting against fascism (法西斯). In the background, a rising red sun shows Xu’s strong belief in winning the World Anti-Fascist War. Besides being a painter, Xu was also an art educator. He wanted his students to be creative and love beauty. During his time as director of the National Central University Art Department, he set up many new courses such as sketching, oil painting and art theory (理论). Xu not only improved Chinese painting but also helped build the Chinese modern art education system, said The Paper. 29. What did Xu Beihong do in his paintings? A. Put different art styles together.

To tell us Xu loved painting animals very much. B. To share Xu’s famous works with other painters. C. To show Xu painted animals with deeper meanings. D. To enjoy animals with a big group in Xu’s paintings. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Xu’s most creative and beautiful works. B. Xu’s role in Chinese art education. C.

A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle, increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的). The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged. “Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institute Armand-Frappier Research Centre, in a statement. Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’ bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep. Many studies have warned about the potential negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform will introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12, iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed. 33. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2? A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly. C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance. 34. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior? A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food. C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness. 35. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’S study? A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It led to children’s obesity. C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It negatively influenced mood. 36. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem? A. Reduce its products’ battery life. B. Provide a screen time feature. C. introduce “digital well-being” tools D. Add a “wind down” option to its products. 【答案】33.A 34.D 35.D 36.B 【解析】 33.【答案】A 【解析】surged 猛增、急剧增长。increase suddenly 突然增长；decrease slowly 缓慢下降；stay the same 保持不变；lose balance 失去平衡。故选 A。 34.【答案】D 【解析】children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen。看屏幕吃饭会影响饱腹感。故选 D。 35.【答案】D 【解析】found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness。对青少年情绪产生负面影响。故选 D。 36.【答案】B 【解析】iPhones will include a screen time feature。苹果会增加 screen time 屏幕使用时间功能；C、D 是安卓平台的功能。故选 B。 D David, a policeman, came to a small wooden house about two miles up the mountain to get Cal Richards, an armed and dangerous killer. Through a broken window, he saw an old man watching him closely. When he stepped into the house, he found the old man was holding a gun in his hands. “Government man, aren’t you?” said the old man. “Yes,” David replied with a friendly smile. “You must be Pappy Richards.” “Sure. I’ m Cal’s pa. And you’re not going to get him.” The gun pointed at David. David looked around the house and didn’t see any sign of Cal. “I’ve been sent to do it,” he said. “But I can see he isn’t here today. I guess I’ll have to come again.” Just then he caught sight of a violin hanging on the wall. “Who plays the violin?” he asked. For a moment there was silence. In fact, Cal’s pa played the violin best in the area, but he did not answer, with his gun still pointing at David. David crossed the room to the instrument and felt sweat on his forehead, but he took the violin from the wall as calmly as if he were a welcome visitor. He began to play the violin, one tune(曲子) after another. He was playing better than he had ever played in his life. The old man stood there, attracted. The hatred in his eyes was giving away to a look of wonder. The gun was pointed towards the floor. He began to beat time, tapping one foot on the dirt floor. When the final notes of the tune died away, the old man placed the gun in a corner. “Well, stranger,” the old man said, “you play the violin excellently. Maybe you’ll stay for dinner and play some more for me.” After they had eaten, they sat in the spring sunshine outside the house. They talked about violin tunes. Not a word was said about Cal Richards. About two hours later, David stood up and said, “Sorry! I must be getting back to the town.” The old man sat, deep in thought. At last, he said, “I like the way you talk, and I like the way you play the violin. I guess you’re a good guy.” He paused as if it were hard to go on. Then, he said in a thick voice, “I---well, I’ll have a talk with Cal. I think he might give himself up tomorrow. You be at the police station at noon.” The next day, as the town clock struck twelve, an old man came up the street towards the police station. With him was a young fellow whose appearance told of many days in hiding. 37. In which order did the following things happen in the story? a. David had a dinner with Cal’s pa. b.

First, it helps us develop patience and carefulness. Second, it allows us to feel the beauty of nature and traditional culture. Third, it helps us inherit and spread our ancient art.

A history textbook. B This year marks the 130th anniversary (周年) of Xu Beihong’s birth. Born in 1895 in Jiangsu province, Xu was one of the “fathers of modern Chinese art”. Xu started learning Chinese painting when he was 9 years old. In 1919, he went to Paris to study sketching (素描) and learned about Western art. He worked hard to mix Chinese and Western art styles. In one of his famous works, Three Horses, Xu put together traditional Chinese coloring skills with Western realism (现实主义) to paint three strong horses standing under a big tree. After returning to China in 1927, Xu set up the National Central University Art Department. While Xu was best known for painting horses, he also painted other animals, people and important historical scenes. Many of his animal paintings have deeper meanings. In Meeting of Forces in Tokyo (《会师东京》), painted in 1943, the artist shows a group of lions that stand for China and other countries fighting against fascism (法西斯). In the background, a rising red sun shows Xu’s strong belief in winning the World Anti-Fascist War. Besides being a painter, Xu was also an art educator. He wanted his students to be creative and love beauty. During his time as director of the National Central University Art Department, he set up many new courses such as sketching, oil painting and art theory (理论). Xu not only improved Chinese painting but also helped build the Chinese modern art education system, said The Paper. 29. What did Xu Beihong do in his paintings? A. Put different art styles together. B. Painted with Western coloring skills. C. Showed traditional Chinese stories D. Created animals with simple sketches. 30. Why did the writer use Meeting of Forces in Tokyo as an example? A. To tell us Xu loved painting animals very much. B. To share Xu’s famous works with other painters. C. To show Xu painted animals with deeper meanings. D. To enjoy animals with a big group in Xu’s paintings. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Xu’s most creative and beautiful works. B. Xu’s role in Chinese art education. C. The success of Xu’s students in Chinese art. D. Xu’s different ways of creating Chinese art. 32. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Xu was a brave and warm-hearted painter in China. B. Xu played an important role in modern Chinese art. C. Xu did a lot in winning the World Anti-Fascist War. D. The Chinese modern art education system was successful. C Too much screen time for kids can lead to poor health, the American Heart Association (AHA) says. A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle, increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的). The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged. “Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institute Armand-Frappier Research Centre, in a statement. Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’ bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep. Many studies have warned about the potential negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform will introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12, iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed. 33. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2? A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly. C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance. 34. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior? A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food. C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness. 35. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’S study? A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It led to children’s obesity. C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It negatively influenced mood. 36. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem? A. Reduce its products’ battery life. B. Provide a screen time feature. C. introduce “digital well-being” tools D. Add a “wind down” option to its products. D David, a policeman, came to a small wooden house about two miles up the mountain to get Cal Richards, an armed and dangerous killer. Through a broken window, he saw an old man watching him closely. When he stepped into the house, he found the old man was holding a gun in his hands. “Government man, aren’t you?” said the old man. “Yes,” David replied with a friendly smile. “You must be Pappy Richards.” “Sure. I’ m Cal’s pa. And you’re not going to get him.” The gun pointed at David. David looked around the house and didn’t see any sign of Cal. “I’ve been sent to do it,” he said. “But I can see he isn’t here today. I guess I’ll have to come again.” Just then he caught sight of a violin hanging on the wall. “Who plays the violin?” he asked. For a moment there was silence. In fact, Cal’s pa played the violin best in the area, but he did not answer, with his gun still pointing at David. David crossed the room to the instrument and felt sweat on his forehead, but he took the violin from the wall as calmly as if he were a welcome visitor. He began to play the violin, one tune(曲子) after another. He was playing better than he had ever played in his life. The old man stood there, attracted. The hatred in his eyes was giving away to a look of wonder. The gun was pointed towards the floor. He began to beat time, tapping one foot on the dirt floor. When the final notes of the tune died away, the old man placed the gun in a corner. “Well, stranger,” the old man said, “you play the violin excellently. Maybe you’ll stay for dinner and play some more for me.” After they had eaten, they sat in the spring sunshine outside the house. They talked about violin tunes. Not a word was said about Cal Richards. About two hours later, David stood up and said, “Sorry! I must be getting back to the town.” The old man sat, deep in thought. At last, he said, “I like the way you talk, and I like the way you play the violin. I guess you’re a good guy.” He paused as if it were hard to go on. Then, he said in a thick voice, “I---well, I’ll have a talk with Cal. I think he might give himself up tomorrow. You be at the police station at noon.” The next day, as the town clock struck twelve, an old man came up the street towards the police station. With him was a young fellow whose appearance told of many days in hiding. 37. In which order did the following things happen in the story? a. David had a dinner with Cal’s pa. b. Cal’s pa pointed a gun at David. c. David saw a violin hanging on the wall. d. David came to arrest Cal. e. David played the violin, one tune after another. A. a-c-d-b-e B. c-a-d-e-b C. d-b-e-c-a D. d-b-c-e-a 38. Why did David feel sweat on his forehead when he crossed the room to the violin? A. The house was too hot. B. He was quite nervous. C. He was in poor health. D. He looked very scary. 39. It can be inferred from the story EXCEPT that ________. A. David was an unwelcome visitor in the beginning B. the old man sent Cal to the police station at last C. David forced the old man to tell him where Cal was D. the old man lost himself in tunes while David was playing 40. How do you understand “Music is power” according to the story? A. Music is the good medicine for a broken heart. B. Music can help policeman to save themselves. C. Music makes people better understand each other. D. Music can stop people from doing criminal things.

It includes brush painting and calligraphy, both of which have a history of thousands of years. Different from Western art, Chinese brush art uses simple ink and Xuan paper. It focuses on showing spirit and artistic conception rather than exact shapes. Simple lines and empty spaces create endless beauty. Practising brush art brings many benefits. First, it helps us develop patience and carefulness. Second, it allows us to feel the beauty of nature and traditional culture. Third, it helps us inherit and spread our ancient art. Now many schools offer brush art courses. More teenagers begin to love and learn this traditional art. It is our duty to protect and develop our traditional Chinese art. 61．What does Chinese brush art include? ___________________________________________________ 62．What materials does Chinese brush art use? ___________________________________________________ 63．What does Chinese brush art focus on? ___________________________________________________ 64．How many benefits of practising brush art are mentioned? ___________________________________________________ 65．What is our duty towards traditional Chinese art? ___________________________________________________ 六、书面表达（满分20分） 走进艺术世界，感受艺术魅力。你校英语社团正在组织以“Enjoy Art”为题的学习交流活动。假如你是李华，请你根据以下图示，写一篇英语发言稿参加活动。 ‌Enjoy Art‌ · art forms (film, music, painting, ...) · the art form you like best and reasons (feel the beauty, learn about cultures, ...) · your hope (experience the value, ...) 注意： 1.可在提示的基础上适当拓展信息。 2.不能照抄原文；不得在作文中出现真实校名和学生的真实姓名。 3.语句连贯，词数 90左右。 Enjoy Art Hello, I am Li Hua.

Xu started learning Chinese painting when he was 9 years old. In 1919, he went to Paris to study sketching (素描) and learned about Western art. He worked hard to mix Chinese and Western art styles. In one of his famous works, Three Horses, Xu put together traditional Chinese coloring skills with Western realism (现实主义) to paint three strong horses standing under a big tree. After returning to China in 1927, Xu set up the National Central University Art Department. While Xu was best known for painting horses, he also painted other animals, people and important historical scenes. Many of his animal paintings have deeper meanings. In Meeting of Forces in Tokyo (《会师东京》), painted in 1943, the artist shows a group of lions that stand for China and other countries fighting against fascism (法西斯). In the background, a rising red sun shows Xu’s strong belief in winning the World Anti-Fascist War. Besides being a painter, Xu was also an art educator. He wanted his students to be creative and love beauty. During his time as director of the National Central University Art Department, he set up many new courses such as sketching, oil painting and art theory (理论). Xu not only improved Chinese painting but also helped build the Chinese modern art education system, said The Paper. 29. What did Xu Beihong do in his paintings? A. Put different art styles together. B. Painted with Western coloring skills. C. Showed traditional Chinese stories D. Created animals with simple sketches. 30. Why did the writer use Meeting of Forces in Tokyo as an example? A. To tell us Xu loved painting animals very much. B. To share Xu’s famous works with other painters. C. To show Xu painted animals with deeper meanings. D. To enjoy animals with a big group in Xu’s paintings. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Xu’s most creative and beautiful works. B. Xu’s role in Chinese art education. C. The success of Xu’s students in Chinese art. D. Xu’s different ways of creating Chinese art. 32. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A.

A scientific statement published by the AHA in the medical journal Circulation said screen time from smartphones, tablet computers and other devices can lead kids to a sedentary(惯于久坐不动的) lifestyle, increasing the possibility that they grow up as overweight or obese(肥胖的). The AHA is the latest organization urging parents to limit how much time their kids spend in front of screens. It recommends children get one to two hours of screen time each day. Although television viewing among children and teens has dropped, the use of smartphones and tablet computers has surged. “Although the mechanisms(机制) linking screen time to obesity are not entirely clear, there are real concerns that screens influence eating behaviors, mainly because children don’t notice when they are full when eating in front of a screen,” said Tracie Barnett, a researcher at the INRS-Institute Armand-Frappier Research Centre, in a statement. Barnett, one of the authors of the statement, also urges parents to keep screens out of kids’ bedrooms, raising the fear that too much screen time can affect sleep. Many studies have warned about the potential negative effects of too much screen time. Last year, a study from researchers at San Diego State University(SDSU) found nearly half of teens who spent five or more hours in front of screens every day experienced long periods of hopelessness or sadness. Apple, who makes the iOS mobile platform will introduce new tools to devices to help users cut back on screen time. As for iOS 12, iPhones will include a screen time feature where users can control and review how they spend time on their mobile devices. Another company that makes the Android platform will introduce “digital well-being” tools such as screen time limits and a “wind down” option to encourage users to put down their phones before bed. 33. Which can replace the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2? A. Increased suddenly. B. Decreased slowly. C. Stayed the same. D. Lost the balance. 34. How do screens influence children’s eating behavior? A. By changing the time they eat. B. By changing their taste for food. C. By influencing how fast they eat. D. By influencing their feeling of fullness. 35. What effect did too much screen time have in SDSU’S study? A. It affected children’s sleep. B. It led to children’s obesity. C. It resulted in diet problems. D. It negatively influenced mood. 36. What will Apple do to deal with the screen time problem? A. Reduce its products’ battery life. B. Provide a screen time feature. C. introduce “digital well-being” tools D. Add a “wind down” option to its products. D David, a policeman, came to a small wooden house about two miles up the mountain to get Cal Richards, an armed and dangerous killer. Through a broken window, he saw an old man watching him closely. When he stepped into the house, he found the old man was holding a gun in his hands. “Government man, aren’t you?” said the old man. “Yes,” David replied with a friendly smile. “You must be Pappy Richards.” “Sure. I’ m Cal’s pa. And you’re not going to get him.” The gun pointed at David. David looked around the house and didn’t see any sign of Cal. “I’ve been sent to do it,” he said. “But I can see he isn’t here today. I guess I’ll have to come again.” Just then he caught sight of a violin hanging on the wall. “Who plays the violin?” he asked. For a moment there was silence. In fact, Cal’s pa played the violin best in the area, but he did not answer, with his gun still pointing at David. David crossed the room to the instrument and felt sweat on his forehead, but he took the violin from the wall as calmly as if he were a welcome visitor. He began to play the violin, one tune(曲子) after another. He was playing better than he had ever played in his life. The old man stood there, attracted. The hatred in his eyes was giving away to a look of wonder. The gun was pointed towards the floor. He began to beat time, tapping one foot on the dirt floor. When the final notes of the tune died away, the old man placed the gun in a corner. “Well, stranger,” the old man said, “you play the violin excellently. Maybe you’ll stay for dinner and play some more for me.” After they had eaten, they sat in the spring sunshine outside the house. They talked about violin tunes. Not a word was said about Cal Richards. About two hours later, David stood up and said, “Sorry! I must be getting back to the town.” The old man sat, deep in thought. At last, he said, “I like the way you talk, and I like the way you play the violin. I guess you’re a good guy.” He paused as if it were hard to go on. Then, he said in a thick voice, “I---well, I’ll have a talk with Cal. I think he might give himself up tomorrow. You be at the police station at noon.” The next day, as the town clock struck twelve, an old man came up the street towards the police station. With him was a young fellow whose appearance told of many days in hiding. 37. In which order did the following things happen in the story? a. David had a dinner with Cal’s pa. b.

It includes brush painting and calligraphy, both of which have a history of thousands of years. Different from Western art, Chinese brush art uses simple ink and Xuan paper. It focuses on showing spirit and artistic conception rather than exact shapes. Simple lines and empty spaces create endless beauty. Practising brush art brings many benefits. First, it helps us develop patience and carefulness. Second, it allows us to feel the beauty of nature and traditional culture. Third, it helps us inherit and spread our ancient art.
