His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life, so the farmers are painted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands. He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting.IrisesVan Gogh finished almost 142 pieces during his stay in the Saint Remy de Provence asylum(精神病院), where he was a voluntary patient from 1889 to 1890.This piece was started shortly after he arrived there. Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment(色素)faded over time and has now turned blue.Cafe Terrace at NightDespite being painted more than 130 years ago, this cafe still exists in France and has since been renamed the Cafe Van Gogh. This artwork marks the first time Van Gogh’s famous post-impressionistic star-filled sky was seen in a piece, and it was painted on the ground, in person, rather than from memory. While the artwork doesn’t bear his signature, it’s widely known to be Van Gogh’s, as he mentioned Cafe Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.Wheat Field With CypressesThis piece was inspired by the view from Van Gogh’s asylum window and was finished on the spot. The work was the title of three paintings that offer an insight into his stay at the hospital. Van Gogh was so pleased with the summer landscape that he made three copies there, one of the same size—which hangs in the Nation al Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.21.Which painting shows the hardships in the countryside A.Irises. B.Cafe Terrace at Night.C.Potato Eaters. D.Wheat Field With Cypresses.22.What is the current color of the flowers in Irises A.Purple. B.Yellow. C.Red. D.Blue.23.What do the last two paintings have in common A.They were painted on the ground. B.They had more than one copy.C.They were signed by the artist. D.They were the same in size.BWhen I entered Oxford University, I wasn’t particularly interested in joining the rowing club. I just wanted to know what it is like to row in one of those narrow boats, so I signed up with the intention of quitting after the first session. At least that’s what I thought.Six months later, I found myself sitting in a rowing boat with three teammates, waiting for a 2000-meter race to start. In the boat alongside us sat a crew from the university’s team, two of whom had won medals at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.My crew was only rowing at college-level and we had only trained a few times as a team, so facing such strong athletes was quite terrifying. I tried to focus my mind on the race, not on my opponents.Go! We pushed off with all our might and rowed as fast as we could. As we reached the halfway mark, the other crew was ahead of us. But to my amazement we were gaining on them. If we could win the race, we would get through to the final! We pushed even harder, ignoring the pain in our legs and drawing energy from the cheers of our college friends. I could already sense the sweet taste of victory.But then, disaster. One of my teammates lost control of his oar(桨), knocking him nearly out of the boat. We came to a sudden stop, and watched as our opponents crossed the finishing line. It was the most disappointing moment in my life. I wanted to punch my teammate who had ruined everything and push him into the water. But when I saw how angry he was with himself, I gave him a hug.Although we lost, I’m still proud of how well we did that day facing a much stronger team. What I remember now is the thrill of racing, not the pain of defeat.24.What was the author’s attitude to rowing in the beginning A.He was curious about rowing. B.He was fond of rowing.C.He was eager to win in a rowing race. D.He was tired of rowing.25.How did the author feel when he and his team reached the halfway mark A.Worried. B.Terrified. C.Disappointed. D.Surprised.26.Why did they lose the game A.A group member made a mistake. B.The opponents were too strong.C.They were worn out. D.They hurt their legs.27.Which can be the best title of the text A.Nothing is impossible. B.Trying your best is the best award.C.The early bird catches the worm. D.Never quit until the last minute.CThe rate of childhood obesity in the U. S. has tripled over the past 50 years. The American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP)made waves this year by recommending that doctors put obese kids as young as two years old on intensive, family -oriented lifestyle and behavior plans. It also suggested prescribing weight-loss drugs to children 12 and older and surgery to teens 13 and older. This advice reflects the organization’s adoption of a more active position on childhood obesity.Yet the lifestyle programs the AAP recommends are expensive, inaccessible to most children and hard to maintain. Few weight-loss drugs have been approved for children. And surgery has potential risks and few long-term safety data. Furthermore, it’s not clear whether interventions in youngsters help to improve health or merely add to the psychological burden overweight kids face from the society.Rather than paying close attention to numbers on a scale, the U. S. and countries with similar trends should focus on an underlying truth: we need to invest in more and safer places for children to play where they can move and run around, climb and jump, ride and skate.Why is it so hard to get kids moving Experts blame the problem on the privatization of sports—as public investment in school-based athletics dwindles, expensive private leagues have grown, leaving many kids out. In addition to fewer opportunities at school, researchers cite increased screen time and a lack of safe places for them to play outside the home. New York City, for example, had 2,067 public playgrounds as of 2019—a very small amount for its large population. In Los Angeles in 2015, only 33 percent of youths lived within walking distance of a park.Kids everywhere need more places to play. Public funding to build and keep up these areas is crucial, but other options such as shared-use agreements can make unused spaces available to the public. These opportunities aren’t primarily about changing children’s waistlines—they’re how we keep childhood healthy and fun.28.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs A.Childhood obesity is well under control in recent years.B.Weight-loss surgery is recommended to children 12 and older.C.Expensive as it is, lifestyle programs are practical for most children.D.AAP plays a more active role in fighting against childhood obesity.29.The underlined word “dwindle” is closest in meaning to .A.quit B.decline C.increase D.develop30.In the author’s opinion, what measures should be taken to create more safe areas A.Prepare fitness equipment at home. B.Live within walking distance of a park.C.Open up playground s when school’s out. D.Promote investment in private athletics.31.What’s the main idea of the text A.Sports play an important role in children’s growth.B.Medical intervention is important to ease psychological burden.C.Family-oriented lifestyles are crucial to children’s health.D.More safe areas for outdoor fun are in urgent need.DScientists have calculated the total amount of plastic ever made: 8.3 billion tons. Looked at another way, that’s as heavy as 25, 000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants. And incredibly, almost all of it has been made in the last 65years.______ Much plastic is in the form of packaging which is used just once and then thrown away. According to a major new study from the University of California, 9% of this is recycled, 12% is completely burnt and 79% goes to landfill. And because most plastic is not easily disposed of, once it’s in the ground, it stays there.It’s a situation that has led the paper’s lead author, ecologist Dr. Roland Geyer, to say that we are “rapidly heading towards ‘Planet Plastic’”. The team behind this report also estimate that eight million tons of plastic waste are escaping into the sea every year. This has caused concern that plastic is entering the food chain, through fish and other sea life which swallow the smaller fragments.Of course, the reason why there’s so much plastic around is that it’s an amazingly useful material. It’s durable and adaptable, and is used for everything from yoghurt pots to spaceships. But it’s exactly this quality that makes it a problem. The only way to destroy plastic is to heat or burn it—although this has the side effect of harmful emissions.So what’s the alternative, other than using less plastic Oceanographer Dr. Erik van Sebille from Utrecht University says we’re facing a “tsunami” of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to “get its act together”.Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says it’s poor design that’s at fault. He says that if products are currently designed “with recyclability in mind”, they could be recycled around 20 times over.32.Which of the following is the best topic sentence for paragraph two A.So where does the plastic go B.So why is much plastic thrown away C.So what’s the problem D.So how is the plastic disposed of 33.How might plastic enter the food we eat A.By being eaten and absorbed by sea creatures. B.By being used as useful materials.C.By getting into the food market directly. D.By getting into the deep sea.34.Which of the following might Richard Thompson agree with A.Plastic waste has caused tsunami.B.The design of products should be environmentally friendly.C.Plastics are currently recycled over 20 times.D.Global waste industry is to blame for the plastic waste problem.35.What can be a suitable title for the text A.Global Waste Industry B.Recyclability of PlasticsC.Planet Plastic D.Plastic Waste into the Sea第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。When high school students spend time memorizing and reciting a poem, they develop confidence by engaging deeply with language. Here are my five Cs—things I’ve observed from several years of teaching students through Poetry Out Loud, from selecting a poem to performing at the state competition.36 This is the first step of the exercise. Students learn how to search for poems, and they have complete discretion(判断力)over the poem they will perform. Students often gravitate(被吸引)to poems that fit their reading level and also match a personal interest or philosophy, which is great. But there are also lots of unexpected mismatches that end up stretching students’ skills in ways a teacher could not work out.Concrete learning task. Learning just one poem well gives students a finite and concentrated experience with language. And every student can learn one poem. I’ve seen students with all manner of challenges get up and do something they thought was impossible, 37Continuing learning. Students learn a poem that will likely stay with them for years, if not forever. Poems contain mysteries and complexities that reveal themselves slowly—and sometimes even suddenly —over time. 38Confidence. 39 All students need to be able to speak effectively in front of others. Performing a poem is a bit like acting. Students learn elements of physical presence, voice, speed, volume, and tone without having to present their own work, which is more frightening for most students.Challenging memory and recall. Students are not asked to memorize much anymore, yet many of them take pleasure in the act of repetition and remembering. 40 For English language learners, many autistic students, and other exceptional learners, reciting poetry is an especially powerful way to understand language and build confidence. For our kids who need small victories, mastering one poem is a welcome relief.A.Chance.B.Choice.C.so you can rely on it that you can recite poems.D.Therefore, it is a lasting course to learn poems.E.in large part because it involves a single, repeated exercise.F.Recitation is the perfect introduction to public speaking skills.G.They like testing themselves and realizing that they can in fact recall lines.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。“You afraid of heights ” my dad asked, as I climbed up the seemingly 41 ladder to the second-story rooftop. I was up there to help him fix our TV 42 . “Not yet,” I replied, as he climbed up after me with tools in hand.

Tom showed her dream bicycle. “Oh my God, is it true ” Cathy rubbed her eyes and exclaimed. “I’m not dreaming, am I ” “Of course not! It belongs to you from now on,” Tom said. “You can ride bikes with your friends.” What Tom said reached something deep inside her heart. Cathy came over to her brother and gave him a bear hug, saying, “Thank you, Tom! You are the best brother in the world.”“Where did you get the money for the bike ” Cathy asked Tom after the party. Excited and confident, Tom toldher the truth that he spent his spare time doing many different jobs. “No wonder you went out early and stayed late. Aren’t you tired of all this work ” Cathy asked, with tears of gratitude in her eyes. “Physically, but not mentally,” Tom replied. “You see, hard work has paid off in the end. I am so proud that I have achieved what I once thought impossible.”听力文本Text 1M: Already around 5:30.My flight is 7 o’clock.W: You’d better leave earlier.
