But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973. Some of Picassos paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look beneath the surface of the things we see. Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye sees. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”21What does the writer mainly tell us?APicasso didnt find his own style.BPeople cant understand Picasso.CPicassos style of painting.DFamous paintings of Picasso.解析:选C主旨大意题。文章第一段提到,大多数画家找到适合自己的绘画风格后会坚持下去,但毕加索是一个永远探索画风的人。故本篇主要介绍毕加索的绘画风格。22The ugly, cruel and strange paintings by Picasso let us _.Aquestion anything we see in lifeBnotice whats hidden in the paintingsCthink why Picasso is differentDwonder why Picasso is so successful解析:选B细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves.”和第五句“And we begin to look beneath the surface of the things we see.”可知。23Why do people call Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”?AHe never stopped painting at an old age.BHe looked too young for his age.CHe always tried to find new things.DThe world remained the same as before.解析:选C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young.”可知。24What does the writer think of Picassos paintings?AHe admires them.BHe doesnt understand them.CHe dislikes the ugly ones.DHe is angry at them.解析:选A推理判断题。根据作者在第二、三、四段叙述的口吻可知作者很崇拜毕加索。B Today, the paintings by Vincent Van Gogh are worldfamous and worth many millions of dollars, but while he was alive, Van Gogh sold only one painting. He was a lonely, unhappy man who suffered from mental illness, and he died at the early age of 37. Vincent Van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853.His first connection with paintings came in 1869, when he got a job in the Goupil Gallery. He worked for this art dealer in London and Paris for four years before he became a teacher in England for a short time. He moved back to France in 1877 and soon began to paint. Vincent Van Gogh was influenced by the famous artists that he met in Paris, where he returned to live in 1886.He did not stay long in the French capital. He was attracted by the vivid (鲜艳的) colors of the countryside and, in 1888, he moved to Arles, a small town in the south of France. There, he painted his most famous paintings, using strong brush strokes (画笔的笔触) and bright colors. Vincent Van Gogh mainly painted landscapes, but he also produced portraits of local people, such as the doctor and the postman. It was around this time that Van Gogh began to show signs of mental illness. In 1889, following an argument with another artist, he cut off his own ear. For a time, he lived in a mental hospital in Saint Remy. He continued to paint, and his work became more and more intense (强烈的). In 1890, Vincent Van Gogh moved to a town called Auvers, because it was close to where his brother, Theo, lived. For two months, he painted feverishly (狂热地). Then, one day, he went into the fields with a revolver (左轮手枪) and shot himself. He died from his wounds the next day. 25. Living in Paris helped Vincent Van Gogh to be a better artist because he _.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugarfree and additivefree with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.语篇解读:本文通过一项研究成果向读者证明夜晚挤的牛奶因其含有更多的褪黑激素,更有助于人们的睡眠。29According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk _.Astarted sleep more easilyBwere more anxiousCwere less activeDwoke up later解析:选B细节理解题。根据第四段“Those given night milk.were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime”可知,饮用白天挤的牛奶的老鼠会比饮用夜间挤的牛奶的老鼠更加焦虑,故选B。30Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?AIts been tested on mice for ten times.BIt can make people more energetic.CIt exists in milk in great amount.DIts used in sleeping drugs.解析:选D推理判断题。根据第六段“taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night”可知,褪黑激素类药物对晚上入睡困难的人有帮助,而据此推知,褪黑激素可用来制作安眠药。31What can be a suitable title for the text?ANight Milk and SleepBFat Sugar and HealthCAn Experiment on MiceDMilk Drinking and Health解析:选A标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章用一项研究成果向我们说明夜晚挤下的牛奶因为含有更多的褪黑激素,更有助于我们的睡眠。32How does the author support the theme of the text?ABy giving examples.BBy stating arguments.CBy explaining statistical data.DBy providing research results.解析:选D篇章结构题。通读全文可知,文章主要通过用白天和夜晚挤的牛奶对老鼠所做的实验结果证明夜晚挤的牛奶更有助于睡眠。DShopping online in search of a bargain (便宜货) can often leave you feeling disappointed or out of pocket rather than satisfied. You can avoid this by following our simple advice: PRODUCT Before you look for the cheapest price you need to decide what product you actually want. You can do this by researching online, the easiest way is to Google for different products so that you can decide on what would be best for you. SEARCH & COMPARE You are now ready to use a comparison website to try and find out the best prices. You should never just use one comparison website, using two or more will give you a balanced view of the market. Comparison websites are necessary.You need to first check out what kind of technology a site uses. Although the idea behind Froogle(now called Google Products) is attractive, the technology it uses is not as advanced as sites such as Kelkoo and Pricerunner. Froogle uses a regular search engine.And dont expect price comparison sites to be a surefire way of getting a bargain. The sites will only show products from companies who pay them. This is not necessarily a bad thing suppliers value their reputation (名声) and their business relationships.AND SEARCH AGAIN Before you buy you should search the product using a price comparison service, then try again just using a standard search engine it might find the product with a cheaper price. If you use Firefox to surf the web then theres an addon (附加的) tool that you can download which finds the cheapest price for a product for you. It is called the Invisible Hand and it is free to download. For example, if youre shopping online at Amazon, the Invisible Hand will pop up and tell you that it is 56 cheaper at Dixons. The tool will only work when you are looking at products, so it shouldnt disturb your day to day Internet surfing. The addon is supported by wellknown brands (品牌) such as BT, Comet and HMV but obviously it wont search every single site out there, so it is still best to use a comparison site in addition to the tool.33According to the passage, how shall we decide what product to buy?ABy shopping online.BBy searching online.CBy looking for the cheapest price.DBy deciding which is best.解析:选B细节理解题。由第二段可知“想要决定自己真正想买的东西最容易的方式就是通过Google等搜索引擎在线搜索不同的物品,以便做出最佳的选择”。34We can learn from the passage that _.Awe dont need to use two or more comparison websitesBcomparison websites often give us wrong views and choicesCall the search engines are the same advancedDdifferent comparison websites use different technologies解析:选D细节理解题。由第三、四段可知A项错在dont need,B项错在wrong, C项错在the same,尤其是第四段通过例证说明不同的“比较网站”使用的是不同的搜索引擎技术。35Whats the BEST title of the passage?AHow to Find Perfect Bargains OnlineBHow to Use Search EnginesCDifferent Websites in the WorldDOnline Shoppings Advantage解析:选A标题归纳题。由第一段开篇点题和总览全文内容及其结构后可知,本文主要提供了几种建议,以便让读者学会更好地在网上淘到廉价货。故A项最全面最准确。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How you calm yourself before giving a speech?
