阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash(废物) to make sculptures. "We are living in the time of garbage," says Schult. "I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves." Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
"They are social sculptures," he explains. "They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in the time of garbage." So far, Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow's Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.
HA Schult's work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations. "Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living."
Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or whom artists are or should be.
You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organisers.
24．What do we know about Schult's sculptures
A．They served as garbage containers.
B．They reflected environmental issues.
C．They were first shown in Paris, France.
D．They were to raise economic awareness.
25．What do HA Schult's artistic works convey to us
A．An artist must be socially responsible.
B．An artist must be as modest as possible.
C．An artist must make garbage recyclable.
D．An artist must take diverse artistic forms.
26．What does the author probably agree according to the last two paragraphs
A．It takes talent to be a trash artist.
B．Preset ideas are important to artists.
C．Trash art can't be seen as a real art form.
D．Average people can also be trash artists.
27．What is a suitable title for the text
A．What Are Social Sculptures
B．Could You Be a Trash Artist
C．Do You Know About Trash Art
D．How Can We Deal with Used Cans
【答案】24．B
25．A

27．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，通过举用垃圾雕塑来反映环保问题的艺术家Schult的例子，号召每个普通人要关注环保问题，创造环保作品，成为环保艺术家。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和标题归纳两个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"‘We are living in the time of garbage,' says Schult. ‘I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselve.'"Schult说："我们生活在垃圾时代。"。"我创作了一千个垃圾雕塑。它们是我们自己的一面镜子。"可知，Schult的雕塑使用的是垃圾，这反映了我们这个时代是垃圾时代，环境问题应该引起重视。故选B。
25．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"‘They are social sculptures,' he explains. ‘They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.'""它们是社会雕塑，"他解释道。"它们不仅仅是眼睛的雕塑。它们是传播我们生活在垃圾时代的观念的雕塑。"可知，真正的艺术家要有社会责任感，通过艺术来反映社会问题，引起人们的重视。故选A。
26．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的"Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or who artists are or should be."也许这是因为我们都有自己的预设观念，即什么是艺术，什么不是艺术，艺术家是谁或应该是谁；以及最后一段中的"You can be an artist like Schult if you try."如果你努力的话，你可以成为像 Schult这样的艺术家。可知，普通人也可以成为艺术家，只不过他们对艺术的看法和艺术家不同。故选D。
27．考查标题归纳。文章通过举用垃圾做成雕塑来反映环保问题的艺术家Schult的例子，号召每个普通人要注重环保，创造环保作品，成为环保艺术家。"Could You Be a Trash Artist "既概括了文章内容又能吸引读者，适合作为文章标题。故选B。
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
No poem should ever be discussed or analysed, until it has been read aloud by someone, teachers or students. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling "interpretation(解释)" of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analysing it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is a criticism of life, and a heightening(提升) of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling, and it can save your life. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
28．What should we do if we want to have a better understanding of a poem
A．Analyse it by oneself. B．Discuss it with others.
C．Practise reading it aloud. D．Copy it down in a notebook.
29．What might be the best way for a teacher to teach poetry
A．To have students recite a poem.
B．To explain a poem again and again.
C．To have students watch films of a poem.
D．To have students listen to records of a poem.
30．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry
A．Criticising life. B．Saving life.
C．Heightening life. D．Extending life.
31．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply
A．Poetry is more important than any other subject.
B．Attention should be paid to the teaching of poetry.
C．Poetry is the foundation of language and literature.
D．One cannot enjoy life fully without understanding poetry.
【答案】28．C
29．A
30．D
31．B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了要真正理解诗歌，应该朗诵诗歌。在教学中，老师应该留出时间让学生去朗诵、听和思考诗歌。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
28．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling ‘interpretation (解释)' of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once."事实上，所有关于诗歌的讨论都是为大声朗读诗歌做准备，而朗读诗歌最终是对诗歌最有力的"解读"，同时暗示了语气、节奏和意义。可知，为了更好地理解一首诗，我们应该大声朗读。故选C。
29．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的" I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analysing it, if there isn't time for both. "事实上，我开始认为，如果没有时间，花时间大声朗读一首诗比分析它重要得多。故选A。
30．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的" Poetry is a criticism of life, and a heightening(提升) of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling, and it can save your life"诗是人生的批判，是人生的升华。它是一种接近感觉真相的方法，它可以拯救你的生命。可知，诗歌对人生的影响不包括延长生命。故选D。
31．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies."它也应该在语言和文学教学中占有比目前更重要的地位。可推知此处暗示应该更加重视诗歌的教学。故选B。
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping. According to a weather expert's prediction, the atmosphere will be warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate. If this warming took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several metres and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere.
In the past, concern about man-made warming of Earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels. Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence suggests that warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms Earth.
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern part of Earth, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has the most effect on the weather
One possibility is the behaviour of the sun. Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and "cold" spots, that is, the relatively less hot spots, on the sun. This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of Earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation. The sun is also variable(可变的) over a long term. Its heat output goes up and down in cycles. The latest downwards trend is on the way. But that is only an imagination.
32．Which of the following is TRUE about the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
A．It would prevent the sun's rays from reaching Earth's surface.
B．It would mean warming in the Arctic.
C．It would raise the temperature of Earth's surface.
D．It would account for great changes in the climate.
33．What is the purpose of the text
A．To explain the greenhouse effects.
B．To explain the solar effects on Earth.
C．To explain the solar weather.
D．To explain the causes affecting the weather.
34．What can we learn from the text
A．The activity of the sun affects the weather on Earth.
B．The melting ice caps in the poles can bring us enough fresh water.
C．Earth's climate can lead to the temperature's becoming lower.
D．The rising carbon dioxide makes Earth cool.
35．What can we learn about the influences on the weather
A．Wind circulation's influence is bigger.
B．Natural influence is bigger.
C．Atmosphere pressure's influence is bigger.
D．Man's influence is bigger.
【答案】32．C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，分析了全球变暖的真正原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping. "在大气中，二氧化碳允许太阳光线进入，但阻止热量逸出。可推知二氧化碳会提高地球表面的温度。故选C。
33．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Which natural cause has most effect on the weather "哪一种自然因素对天气影响最大 可知，本文介绍了二氧化碳对全球气候的影响和太阳能量的输出活动对气候的影响，分析全球变暖的真正原因，因此全文的写作主旨一直在探讨全球变暖的原因， 故选D。
34．考查细节理解。根据最后一段"One possibility is the behaviour of the sun. Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and ‘cold' spots, that is, the relatively less hot spots, on the sun. This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of Earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation. The sun is also variable(可变的) over a long term. Its heat output goes up and down in cycles. The latest downwards trend is on the way. But that is only an imagination. "一种可能性是太阳的行为。一个研究站的天文学家研究了太阳上的热点和"冷"点，即相对较少的热点。这似乎对地球大气压力的分布有更大的影响，从而对风循环也有更大影响。太阳在长期内也是可变的。它的热输出以循环的方式上升和下降。最新的下降趋势即将到来。但这只是一种想象。可知太阳的活动影响着地球上的天气。故选A。
35．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man."因此，科学家们得出结论，到目前为止，自然对天气的影响已经超过了人类造成的影响。故选B。
三、完形填空
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。

One evening, a workman was exhaustedly making his way home after work, when he stopped to rest by the side of the road. A woman came by, pushing a cart full of flowers. The smell of her blossoms filled the air with sweetness and it seemed to take away the tiredness in his bones and lift his spirits. He had never experienced such wonder from the many blooms of his own garden. "How much must I pay, or what must I do, to have some of your wonderful flowers " he asked the woman.
"Oh, sir," she said, "take what you wish for."
"What return must I make for them " he asked again.
"Your gratitude is enough," she said, "and it's a pleasure to share the beauty of flowers with you."
So the man filled his arms with blossoms and hurried joyfully home. His wife and his children were also glad over the remarkable flowers, for they, too, discovered that the sight of them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.
In order not to lose his valuable possession, the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of land behind his house. Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful—they still performed their fantastic magic.
Every day, his children took delight in playing in the yard and always sang and danced around the flowers. They all liked the lovely gift their father had received and even invited many of their friends to share this fantastic magic together. When children came to play near the flowers, the man over and over warned them against carelessness and wild play for fear that they would walk on the flowers and damage them. But the flowers remained strong as long as there was enough sun and water to nourish(滋养) them. Nowhere else could the man or his wife or children find such remarkable relaxation from tiredness, such comfort in sadness, such spiritual nourishment as those remarkable flowers provided.
With the news spreading and more people coming to appreciate his treasure, the man became even more concerned about his remarkable flowers.
注意：
1)续写词数应为150左右;
2)请按如下格式作答。
He was determined to protect the flowers.
However, the flowers seemed to fade day by day, so the man went everywhere for help.
【答案】So he built a high wall around them. Not feeling satisfied, he even set up rules as to who could enter the garden, how they must enter, and what they must follow while they were there. As a result, children were forbidden to enter and appreciate the flowers as before. For his part, he continued to make sure that his treasure received enough sunlight and water so that the flowers continued to perform their wonderful magic.
He visited every expert, only to find his efforts in vain. He felt on pins and needles, seeing his beloved flowers dying. One evening, he was wandering in the street aimlessly when he suddenly noticed the flower woman on the same spot where he had met her, giving away her amazing flowers. It finally hit him that the flowers are gifts instead of possessions and that only by sharing can the magic remain and last.
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述一位劳累的男人在下班途中遇到一位卖花的女士，他被花的芬芳所吸引并变得精神振奋，女士就送给了他许多的花。男人、他的妻子和孩子都被那些非凡的花朵所感染，看到那些花，他们可以从疲惫中得到显著的放松，在悲伤中得到舒适，在精神上得到滋养。但是，随着消息的传播，越来越多的人来欣赏他的宝藏花朵，这使得男人开始变得担心他非凡的花朵。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"他决心保护这些花。"可知，第一段可描写男人是如何采取措施保护这些花的。②由第二段首句内容"然而，花似乎一天比一天淡，所以这个男人到处寻求帮助。"可知，第二段可描写男人找到办法来使得这些花一直保持魔力。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：Not feeling satisfied, he even set up rules as to who could enter the garden, how they must enter, and what they must follow while they were there. 运用了现在分词的否定式，宾语从句，时间状语从句；As a result, children were forbidden to enter and appreciate the flowers as before. 运用了被动语态； For his part, he continued to make sure that his treasure received enough sunlight and water so that the flowers continued to perform their wonderful magic.运用了不定式作宾语，宾语从句，目的状语从句；He visited every expert, only to find his efforts in vain. 运用了不定式作结果状语； He felt on pins and needles, seeing his beloved flowers dying. 运用了现在分词作状语，现在分词作宾补； One evening, he was wandering in the street aimlessly when he suddenly noticed the flower woman on the same spot where he had met her, giving away her amazing flowers.运用了时间状语从句，限制性定语从句； It finally hit him that the flowers are gifts instead of possessions and that only by sharing can the magic remain and last.运用了it作形式主语，主语从句，并列句，倒装句。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash(废物) to make sculptures. "We are living in the time of garbage," says Schult. "I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves." Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
"They are social sculptures," he explains. "They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in the time of garbage." So far, Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow's Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.
HA Schult's work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations. "Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living."
Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or whom artists are or should be.
You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organisers.
24．What do we know about Schult's sculptures
A．They served as garbage containers.
B．They reflected environmental issues.
C．They were first shown in Paris, France.
D．They were to raise economic awareness.
25．What do HA Schult's artistic works convey to us
A．An artist must be socially responsible.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
No poem should ever be discussed or analysed, until it has been read aloud by someone, teachers or students. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling "interpretation(解释)" of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analysing it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is a criticism of life, and a heightening(提升) of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling, and it can save your life. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
28．What should we do if we want to have a better understanding of a poem
A．Analyse it by oneself. B．Discuss it with others.
C．Practise reading it aloud. D．Copy it down in a notebook.
29．What might be the best way for a teacher to teach poetry
A．To have students recite a poem.
B．To explain a poem again and again.
C．To have students watch films of a poem.
D．To have students listen to records of a poem.
30．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry
A．Criticising life. B．Saving life.
C．Heightening life. D．Extending life.
31．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply
A．Poetry is more important than any other subject.
B．Attention should be paid to the teaching of poetry.
C．Poetry is the foundation of language and literature.
D．One cannot enjoy life fully without understanding poetry.

In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping. According to a weather expert's prediction, the atmosphere will be warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate. If this warming took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several metres and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere.
In the past, concern about man-made warming of Earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels. Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence suggests that warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms Earth.
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern part of Earth, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has the most effect on the weather
One possibility is the behaviour of the sun. Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and "cold" spots, that is, the relatively less hot spots, on the sun. This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of Earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation. The sun is also variable(可变的) over a long term. Its heat output goes up and down in cycles. The latest downwards trend is on the way. But that is only an imagination.
32．Which of the following is TRUE about the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
A．It would prevent the sun's rays from reaching Earth's surface.
B．It would mean warming in the Arctic.
C．It would raise the temperature of Earth's surface.
D．It would account for great changes in the climate.
33．What is the purpose of the text
A．To explain the greenhouse effects.
B．To explain the solar effects on Earth.
C．To explain the solar weather.
D．To explain the causes affecting the weather.
34．What can we learn from the text
A．The activity of the sun affects the weather on Earth.
B．The melting ice caps in the poles can bring us enough fresh water.
C．Earth's climate can lead to the temperature's becoming lower.
D．The rising carbon dioxide makes Earth cool.
35．What can we learn about the influences on the weather
A．Wind circulation's influence is bigger.
B．Natural influence is bigger.
C．Atmosphere pressure's influence is bigger.
D．Man's influence is bigger.

One evening, a workman was exhaustedly making his way home after work, when he stopped to rest by the side of the road. A woman came by, pushing a cart full of flowers. The smell of her blossoms filled the air with sweetness and it seemed to take away the tiredness in his bones and lift his spirits. He had never experienced such wonder from the many blooms of his own garden. "How much must I pay, or what must I do, to have some of your wonderful flowers " he asked the woman.
"Oh, sir," she said, "take what you wish for."
"What return must I make for them " he asked again.
"Your gratitude is enough," she said, "and it's a pleasure to share the beauty of flowers with you."
So the man filled his arms with blossoms and hurried joyfully home. His wife and his children were also glad over the remarkable flowers, for they, too, discovered that the sight of them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.
In order not to lose his valuable possession, the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of land behind his house. Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful—they still performed their fantastic magic.
Every day, his children took delight in playing in the yard and always sang and danced around the flowers. They all liked the lovely gift their father had received and even invited many of their friends to share this fantastic magic together. When children came to play near the flowers, the man over and over warned them against carelessness and wild play for fear that they would walk on the flowers and damage them. But the flowers remained strong as long as there was enough sun and water to nourish(滋养) them. Nowhere else could the man or his wife or children find such remarkable relaxation from tiredness, such comfort in sadness, such spiritual nourishment as those remarkable flowers provided.
With the news spreading and more people coming to appreciate his treasure, the man became even more concerned about his remarkable flowers.
注意：
1)续写词数应为150左右;
2)请按如下格式作答。
He was determined to protect the flowers.
However, the flowers seemed to fade day by day, so the man went everywhere for help.
