第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节 单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21．Experts think that________recently discovered painting may be________Picasso.
A．the；/ B．a；the C．a；/ D．the; a
答案 D [句意：专家们认为近来发现的那部绘画作品可能是毕加索的作品。句中painting前有修饰语recently discovered，所以此处的painting是特指，故其前用定冠词the；第二个空后的Picasso本来是专有名词，指“毕加索”其人，但是在本句中，它指的是“一部毕加索的作品”，所以其前用不定冠词a，这实际上是专有名词具体化的使用。]
22．Strict measures have to be________to protect________children from family abuses.
A．adapted；adopted B．adopted; adopted
C．adjusted；adjusted D．attached; adopted
- 21 -
答案 B [考查动词辨析。句意：应该采取严格措施来保护那些被收养的遭受家庭虐待的孩子。第一空中的adopt意为“采用； 采取”，第二空中的adopt意为“收养”。adapt“适应”；adjust“调整”；attach“连接，加”。 ]
23．What worries her most is that her daughter，who is twenty years old，is not interested in anything and doesn't have a(n)________aim of life.
A．specific B．ridiculous C．negative D．allergic
答案 A [考查形容词的意思辨析。specific意为“确切的；特定的”，句中是说她女儿没有确切的人生目标。ridiculous荒谬的；negative消极的；allergic过敏性的。]
24．The local government has taken some effective measures，________at cutting down the cost during the tough economy.
A．pointing B．approving C．managing D．aiming
答案 D [考查动词的意义和固定搭配。aim at意为“以……为目的”，句中是说政府采取措施的目的是降低开销。用aim的现在分词形式和at搭配，用作状语，表示目的。]
25．—Does the young tall man standing there________the company?
—No.The company is________his father.
A．have possession of；in the possession of
B．in possession of；in the possession of
C．take possession of；in possession of
D．have possession of；in possession of
答案 A [have/take possession of...拥有……； in possession of拥有，占有，介词短语，以人作主语；in the possession of...“为……所有”，介词短语，以物作主语，故选A项。]
26．________work has been done to improve the people's living standard.
A．Large amounts of B．A good many
C．A great deal of D．A large number of
答案 C [由句中主语work为不可数名词这一特性可以排除B、D两个选项，因为a good many，a large number of后只可以修饰可数名词。而A项虽可以修饰不可数名词，但其谓语动词的单复数应和amounts保持一致，所以只有a great deal of可以修饰不可数名词，又和谓语动词has been done保持一致。]
27.After a twohour talk，she________the truth of the report.
A．was persuaded B. was believed in
C．was convinced of D. was advised
答案 C [句意：两个小时的交谈之后，她相信了那个报告的真实性。convince sb of sth“使某人确信某事”的被动形式为sb be convinced of sth。 A项应该改为：was persuaded
- 21 -
of。]
28．—I'm going to the post office.
—________！I need to mail a letter. Could you do it for me?
A．How exciting B. What a coincidence
C．How lucky D. That's good
答案 B [How exciting！多么令人兴奋啊！What a coincidence！多巧的事啊！ How lucky！多么幸运啊！That's good ！太好了！。根据对方说要去邮局，而自己需要邮寄一封信，想让对方帮忙寄出可知，对方还没有同意帮忙，故A、C、D三项不符合语境。]
29．There are________modern art styles，but without the Impressionists，many of these painting styles________.
A．scores of; might not exist
B．two scores of; would not have existed
C．score of; might exist
D．two scores; would have existed
答案 A [句意：如今，现代艺术风格有好几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那么这许多不同的风格就不可能存在。 score作“二十”讲时，表示准确的数量，score前加数字，后面的of可省略；scores of许多，大量。后半部分由without引导的介词短语是一个暗含的非真实条件，主句用虚拟语气：would/could/should/might＋动词原形。]
30．Today they are accepted as the beginning of________we call“modern art”．
A．what B．where C．which D．that
答案 A [此处是what引导的宾语从句，what在宾语从句中作宾语。]
31．The girl is more beautiful________than in her photographs.
A．in the flesh B．flesh and blood
C．in person D. in flesh
答案 A [句意：这个女孩本人要比照片上漂亮得多。in the flesh本人；flesh and blood血肉之躯，亲人；in person 亲自。]
32．The book________reading is worthy of________.
A．worthy; being bought B．worthy; buying
C．worth; being bought D．worth; buying
答案 C [be worth doing＝ be worthy of being done＝be worthy to be done。前面的worth reading作the book的定语，相当于which is worth reading。]
33.They have________carefully the time and money needed to complete the project.
A．picked out B．left out
C．figured out D．taken out
- 21 -
答案 C [句意：他们已经仔细计算出要完成这个项目所花费的时间与金钱。pick out挑选；leave out遗漏；figure out计算出；take out拿出。]
34．We published the book intended to________mainly to teachers and students of Senior Grade 3 in the coming new term.
A．appeal B．attach C．link D．refer
答案 A [考查动词的语境意义。appeal to(对某人)有吸引力；(使某人)感兴趣。attach to属于；link to把……和……连接起来；refer to参考；涉及。]
35．—When shall we meet?
—________.Any day is OK with me.
A．It's up to you B．All right
C．That's all right D．That depends
答案 A [It's up to you由你来定。]

The little boy looked away and murmured, “It's yours, teacher.”She recalled the__51__she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time_is_catching_up_with_the_Mona_Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci (莱昂纳多·达·芬奇) in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed.“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago，” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current (现在的)chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops，” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University.“It's because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World War Ⅱ， French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
【语篇解读】 随着岁月的流逝，名画“蒙娜丽莎”已受到了损坏。她还有一些秘密等待人们去揭开。
56．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa________.
A．is losing its value
B．is being damaged after so many years
- 21 -
C．is getting more valuable with years passing
D．will rot away
答案 B [语意理解题。首先，由转折词but判断，本句的意思应和文章前面所说的“美貌是永恒的”意义相反。后面又介绍说“蒙娜丽莎”的健康状况随着岁月的流逝在恶化，画板已变形，因此断定此处的意思是指随着岁月的流逝，名画“蒙娜丽莎”已受到了损坏。]
57．Experts haven't any repairs on the Mona Lisa because________.
A．it is now in a poor chemical state
B．they don't know how to replace the wooden panel
C．they don't have the materials Da Vinci used
D．they are afraid it'll be done further damage
答案 D [推理判断题。文章第三段介绍专家们对名画“蒙娜丽莎”也不敢轻举妄动，原因是他们也不清楚当时达·芬奇绘画所使用的颜料以及这幅画现在的化学状况，因此可推断出他们没有对画做修复是因为怕弄巧成拙，进一步损害这幅名画。]
58．The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen________.
A．by indirect vision B．at a distance
C．by direct vision D．in shadows
答案 A [细节理解题。文章第四段提到，人们“正视”时，往往看不到“蒙娜丽莎”的微笑，原因是当时达·芬奇是在暗处作的画，因此只有人们“不正视”时，才能看到她的微笑。]
59．Which of the following is TRUE about Mona Lisa?
A．It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.
B．Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.
C．Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles.
D．King Franc I bought it and planned to return it to Italy.
答案 C [细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可以排除A项；根据第四段中的“Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him.”可排除B项；选项D与文章内容不符，故答案为C。]
B
Not all awards are as noble as the Nobels. Even though most countries have a system for recognising, honouring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries, there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things.
The Oscars are probably the most famous, a time for the (mostly) American film industry to tell itself how good it is, an annual opportunity for lots of big stars to give
- 21 -
each other awards and make tearful speeches. But it's not only filmsnow there are also Grammies, Brits, the Mercury Prize and the MTV and Q awards for music. In Britain, a writer who wins the Booker prize can expect to see their difficult, literary novel hit the bestseller lists and compete with“The Da Vinci Code”for popularity. The Turner Prize is an award for a British contemporary artist－each year it causes controversy by apparently giving lots of money to artists who do things like display their beds, put animals in glass cases or－this year－build a garden shed.
Awards don't only exist for the arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year, for European Footballer of the year and World Footballer of the Year. This seems very strange－sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to people who deserve it, or to help people who don't make a lot of money carry on their work without worrying about finances, but professional soccer players these days certainly aren't short of cash!
Many small towns and communities all over the world also have their own awards ceremonies, for local writers or artists, or just for people who have graduated from high school or got a university degree. Even the British Council has its own awards for“Innovation in English Language Teaching”．
Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.It would be possible to say, however, that in the past, scientists and artists could win“patronage”from rich people－a king or a lord would give the artist or scientist money to have them paint their palaces or help them develop new ways of making money. With the change in social systems across the world, this no longer happens. A lot of scientific research is now either funded by the state or by private companies. Perhaps award ceremonies are just the most recent face of this process.However, there is more to it than that. When a film wins an Oscar, many more people will go and see it, or buy the DVD. When a writer wins the Nobel Prize, many more people buy their books. When a group win the MTV awards, the ceremony is seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. The result? The group sell a lot more records.
Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organisations or companies. This means that it is not only the person who wins the award who benefits，but also the sponsors. The MTV awards, for example, are great for publicising not only music, but also MTV itself! On the surface, it seems to be a“winwin”situation, with everyone being happy, but let me ask you a question－how far do you think that publicity
- 21 -
and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place?
【语篇解读】 各种名目的颁奖越来越多，但他们是否得到了大众的认可？
60．Which of the following awards often confuses the public by giving a prize to people who do unusual things?
A．The Turner Prize. B．The Booker Prize.
C．The Mercury Prize. D．The Oscars.
答案 A [细节理解题。题干中的confuses the public与第二段中最后一句中的causes controversy同义，题干中的如unusual things 与此句中的do things like...a garden shed同义，由此可知A项正确。]

Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks, is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s, when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty(螺旋码头), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a common feature of Land Art. It can be created by moving components(组分)around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to evolve(逐步形成), change, and eventually decay (衰落). That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they evolve and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artist.

mud”以及第三段第三句中“like salt，which is added to the Spiral Jetty”可知，在创造Spiral Jetty时，艺术家使用了石头、泥土和盐。 ]

evaluating students and for their future university admission, development in wisdom, emotion, health, and life attitude should never be ignored. There are many examples around us. Some allA students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities. Furthermore, punishment is by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically.
So I suggest that you take your friends' advice. More importantly, let her live like a lovely girl; let her have more friends and social activities; and let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do.
Yours Sincerely，
Li Hua
