A
Later this month, Tate Britain will host its first Van Gogh exhibition since 1947. Here we’ve rounded up 4 of his best paintings before the show,
Potato Eaters
Potato Eaters was Van Gogh’s first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life, so the farmers are panted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands. He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting.
Irises
Van 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. The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay 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 Night
Despite 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 Café Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.
Wheat Field With Cypresses
This 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 National Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.
1. Which painting did Vincent van Gogh take most pride in?
A. Irises. B. Potato Eaters.
C. Cafe Terrace at Night D. Wheat Field With Cypresses.
2. What is the original color of the flowers in Irises?
A. Purple. B. Blue. C. Red. D. Yellow.
3. What do the last two paintings have in common?
A. They were the same in theme. B. They had more than two copies.
C. They were sold by the artist. D. They were painted on the ground.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了梵高的四幅代表作。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二自然段“Potato Eaters was Van Gogh’s first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. (《吃土豆的人》是梵高的第一部主要作品，尽管明显缺乏色彩，但这是他最引以为傲的作品)”可知，梵高最引以为豪的是《吃土豆的人》。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三自然段“Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment(色素)faded over time and has now turned blue. (最初，这幅作品中的花被涂成紫色，但红色颜料随着时间的推移，颜色逐渐变蓝)”可知，Irises这幅作品中的花最初是紫色的。故选A。

(这件作品的灵感来自梵高避难窗口的景色，并在现场完成)”可知，这两幅画都是现场写生的。on the ground/spot (当场)。故选D。
B
A flight last month between Campinas and Sao Jose do Rio Preto in southern Brazil became the scene of a spontaneous act of kindness that spread on social media networks.
According to the website Aeroin net, a passenger named Sirlandia Dias Pereira was traveling with her son Caleb, who suffered from heart failure and had a heart murmur. During the flight she told the passenger next to her, Alex Pontes, that she was traveling so her son could be hospitalized. She also explained that she was relying on the charity of others for living quarters.
The passenger talked to the crew of the airline and asked to use the airplane’s loudspeaker, inviting the other travelers to contribute to a spontaneous collection to help the mother and her son. “All of us would like to find an angel to help us. Those of us who feel moved to do so, let’s help this mother to take a little something with her, a little something we have and can share.” he said.
In a matter of minutes, passengers offered a total worth near $400 which goes a lot further in Brazil than in the USA, plus applause for the mother, who was thrilled with the help and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to the passengers.
The site that first shared the story later updated the article, adding that Caleb went through surgery and was recovering well. The website Razoes Para Acreditar reported that the story caught the attention of Brazil in TV personality Luciano Huck, who started a crowd funding campaign to help the family.
This story just goes to show that a kind act can go a long way towards making an important difference in someone’s life. There are people in need all around us. Let’s not let these chances to help others pass us by!
4. Why was the mother traveling?
A. To get her sick son treated B. To look for living quarters
C. To change for a better life D. To pick up her son from hospital
5. What did Alex Pontes do for the mother on the plane?
A. He gave her $400 by himself B. He called for donation for her
C. He helped her find a hospital D. He helped her attend to her son
6. Why did Lauciano Huck decide to help the mother and her son?
A. He was one of the witnesses on the plane. B. He wanted to make them well-known.
C. He was inspired by the spontaneous act. D. He was asked to offer assistance by them.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To speak highly of a kind passenger. B. To ask us to communicate with others.
C. To show the importance of first aid. D. To encourage us to help those in need.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。一位名叫Sirlandia Dias Pereira的乘客和她的儿子Caleb一起旅行，Caleb患有心力衰竭和心脏杂音。一位乘客得知了他们的情况，在飞机上呼吁为那位母亲捐款。故事被发布到了网上，鼓舞了其他人进行募捐活动。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the flight she told the passenger next to her, Alex Pontes, that she was traveling so her son could be hospitalized.(在飞行过程中，她告诉旁边的乘客亚历克斯·庞特斯，她旅行是为了让儿子住院)”可知，母亲旅行是为了让她生病的儿子得到治疗。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The passenger talked to the crew of the airline and asked to use the airplane’s loudspeaker, inviting the other travelers to contribute to a spontaneous collection to help the mother and her son.(这名乘客与航空公司的机组人员交谈，并要求使用飞机上的扬声器，并邀请其他乘客自发捐款来帮助这对母子)”可知，亚历克斯·庞特斯在飞机上呼吁为那位母亲捐款。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The website Razoes Para Acreditar reported that the story caught the attention of Brazil in TV personality Luciano Huck, who started a crowd funding campaign to help the family.(据巴西Razoes Para Acreditar网站报道，这个故事引起了巴西电视名人卢西亚诺·哈克的注意，他发起了一场众筹活动来帮助这家人)”可知，哈克决定帮助这对母子是因为他被自发的行为所鼓舞。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This story just goes to show that a kind act can go a long way towards making an important difference in someone’s life. There are people in need all around us. Let’s not let these chances to help others pass us by!(这个故事只是告诉我们，一个善良的行为可以让一个人的生活发生很大的变化。我们周围有很多需要帮助的人。让我们不要让这些帮助他人的机会从我们身边溜走！)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是鼓励我们去帮助那些有需要的人。故选D。
C
Housing officials say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will and the skill, to address ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our roommate conflicts are because kids don’t know how to negotiate a problem.”
And as any pop psychologist will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent discontent that can boil over into frustration and anger. At the University of Florida, emotional outbursts occur about once a week, the university’s director of housing and residence education says. “It used to be: ‘Let’s sit down and talk about it.’” he says. “Over the past five years, roommate conflicts have increased. The students don’t have the person-to-person discussions and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to catch on, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.
Administrators speculate that reliance on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable encounters. Why express anger in person when you can vent in a text? “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director in the office of residential life at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more frictions as complaints go public.” In recent focus groups at North Carolina State University, dorm residents said they would not even confront noisy neighbors on their floor.
Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere on campus.
8. What is the main reason for many roommate conflicts?
A. Students are not strong-willed.
B. Students are not satisfied with each other.
C. Housing directors are not responsible for them.
D. Students are not good at reaching an agreement about the problems.
9. What do we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Students, especially freshmen, should bottle up their dissatisfaction.
B. Some students are not able to handle conflicts by the time they graduate.
C. Students in Florida sit down and have a person-to-person talk once a week.
D. The number of conflicts among roommates has decreased during the past five years.
10. What is the attitude of Dana Pysz when he mentions roommates disclosing their conflicts in the media?
A. Disapproval. B. Indifference. C. Eagerness. D. Empathy.
11. What should parents do according to the passage?
A. They should be involved in their children’s life on campus.
B. They should teach their children the skills to tackle the conflicts.
C. They should constantly contact the administrators of the college.
D. They should deal with their children’s problems in their whole lives.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了大学生宿舍冲突日益加剧的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“So many of our roommate conflicts are because kids don’t know how to negotiate a problem.”（我们的很多室友冲突都是因为孩子们不知道如何协商问题。）可知，许多室友冲突的主要原因是学生们不善于就问题达成一致意见。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to catch on, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.”（这个问题在大一新生中表现得最为明显；舍务专员说，随着学生们临近毕业，他们看到了改善，但有些人似乎从来没有领会到这一点，他们担心这些学生毕业后将如何处理冲突。）可知，有些学生到毕业时还无法处理冲突。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“ ‘Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,’ says Dana Pysz, an assistant director in the office of residential life at the University of California, Los Angeles. ‘It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more frictions as complaints go public.’ ”（加州大学洛杉矶分校(University of California, Los Angeles)住宿生活办公室助理主任达纳·皮斯说:“有人在Facebook上的留言板上贴了一些东西:哦，我的室友让我整晚熬夜学习。”“这是一种表达彼此冲突的不同方式，随着投诉公开化，结果会产生更多摩擦。”）可知，达纳·皮斯并不赞同在媒体上公开与室友间的冲突这一做法。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. ”（管理人员指出，父母在孩子的整个生活中都解决了他们的问题。现在上了大学，孩子们甚至缺乏处理轻微冲突的能力。）可知，家长们应该教他们的孩子处理冲突的技能。故选B。
D
Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious (无意识的) preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience.
“The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,” said Alex Silver, a Johns Hopkins researcher. “Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.”
The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science. People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that’s sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don’t choose. “Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development. “We justify our choice after the fact.”
This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day, between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices so, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”
The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other — a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the unchosen object.”
To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies, the lab will next look at the idea of “choice overload.” For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies.
12. What is people’s assumption about the act of making choices?
A. They like what they choose.
B. They choose what they like.
C. They base choices on the fact.
D. They make choices thoughtfully.
13. Why were babies selected as subjects for the study?
A. To help them make better choices.
B. To guide them to perceive the world.
C. To track the root of making random choices.
D. To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture.
14. What does the study on the babies show?
A. They like novel objects.
B. Their choices are mostly based on colors.
C. Their random choices become preferences.
D. They are unable to make choices for themselves.
15. What will the following study focus on?
A. The law of “choice overload”.
B. The problem of adults’ many choices.
C. Why too many choices can influence adults.
D. Whether babies are troubled with many choices.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了成年人在一生中在本质上相同的事物之间做出选择时会产生无意识的偏好，科学家就“婴儿在选择的过程中会基于自己的喜好吗”展开了研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious (无意识的) preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience. (尽管研究人员早就知道，成年人在一生中在本质上相同的事物之间做出选择时会产生无意识的偏好，但即使是婴儿也会参与这一现象的新发现表明，这种证明选择合理性的方式是凭直觉的，而且在某种程度上是人类经验的基础)”和第三段中的“People assume they choose things that they like. (人们认为他们选择自己喜欢的东西)”可知，人们对选择行为的假设就是人们选择自己喜欢的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices so, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”(因此，他们转向了婴儿，婴儿没有太多选择，所以，正如费根森所说，这是“一个了解这种倾向起源的完美窗口”)”可知，选择婴儿作为研究对象是因为婴儿是追踪随机选择的根源。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段“The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other — a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the unchosen object.”(研究小组将10到20个月大的婴儿带进实验室，让他们选择玩的物品；两块同样明亮多彩的软块。他们把它们隔开很远，所以婴儿们不得不爬到其中一个或另一个——随机选择。当婴儿选择了其中一个玩具后，研究人员将其拿走，并带着一个新的选择回来。然后，婴儿们可以从他们第一次没有玩过的玩具中挑选，或者挑选一个全新的玩具。他们的选择表明，他们“不喜欢未被选择的对象”)”可知，婴儿们不喜欢自己没有选过的玩具，说明他们喜欢自己选过的东西，可得出他们的随机选择变成了偏好。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies. (对于成年人来说，选择是好的，但选择太多可能是一个问题，因此实验室将尝试确定婴儿是否也是如此)”可知，接下来实验室研究重点是“婴儿是否会被太多选择困扰”。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. It is then that you may want to eat something sweet, perhaps a sweet drink or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. ___16___
But a study suggests that sugar can make you feel worse rather than lift your mood. The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. ___17___ Those emotions include anger, alertness, depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense over time.
According to researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling. ___18___ As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people being tired and less alert.
___19___ According to WHO, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as they make up less than 5 percent of our daily total energy intake.
So the next time you feel tired and can’t concentrate on study and work, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. There are still other ways to relieve tiredness. ___20___
A. Maybe a little exercise at midday is a better idea.
B. So cutting sweet food out of the diet is a good choice.
C. They studied the effect of sugar on some aspects of mood.
D. After all, it’s believed that a “sugar rush” gives you energy.
E. Sugar in any form is not necessarily good for the human body.
F. But the result of the study doesn’t mean giving up sweet food altogether.
G. To remain on a “high”, people may eat more sugar until they become addicted to it.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. A

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“七夕节”的渊源及其发展。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：农历七月初七是七夕，被广泛认为是中国的情人节。分析句子可知，逗号前为句子，为主系表结构，所以空处用非谓语动词；句子主语The seventh day of the seventh lunar month与非谓语动词regard为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词regarded，故填regarded。
【37题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：传说织女遇见了一个牛郎，并爱上了他。legend has it that…是固定句型，意为“传说，相传”，故填that。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：玉皇大帝强烈反对这对夫妇的结合，并强行将他们用银河系分开，他们被银河分开，一年只能见一次面。object to sb./sth.是固定短语，意为“反对某人或某物”，to为介词，故填to。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，“leaving them ____4____ (tear) apart by the galaxy and only allowing them to meet once a year”在句中为状语，空处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语，非谓语动词tear与代词them为动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词torn，故填torn。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管如此，距离并不能阻止他们对彼此的爱，他们期待着每年的农历七月初七见面。根据句中“the distance could not stop their love”可知，逗号前为让步状语，表示“尽管如此”，that为代词，所以空处用介词， despite“尽管”为介词，位于句首，所以首字母大写。故填Despite。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：现代旅行的便利和高效缩短了夫妻间的“银河距离”。and 为并列连词，根据空前“convenience ”可知，此处用名词efficiency 与其表示并列，故填efficiency。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：在七夕，越来越多的年轻人通过约会和交换礼物来表达他们的感情。根据“and exchanging”可知，本句的时态为现在进行时；主语young people为复数，所以此处用are going，故填are going。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：民政局门口也经常排起长队，在那里情侣们争先恐后地登记结婚，空气中弥漫着爱的气息。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容为定语从句，先行词为the Civil Affairs Bureau，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。故填where。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：这是因为七夕具有象征意义：选择自己的爱情，忠贞一生。分析句子可知，空处在句中为宾语，指“七夕”这天，宾语和主语为同一物时，宾语使用反身代词。故填itself。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：同上。remain“保持”为连系动词，所以空处用形容词作表语，故填faithful。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I was moving as fast as I could, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven jetty(栈桥). Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts.
“Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease.
“I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks. scraping my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled. I tried to wiggle(扭动) my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that’ s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
Sam squinted(眯着眼睛看) in the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival! It happened to be perfect for sand art!
“Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” They were antique little pig and cost only 50 cents.
My family calls me their “little collector. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”.
Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. So far, there were a variety of things like mini cola bottles and shakers. I stared at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it a very special necklace? Should I return it to her? I paced back and forth in the room anxiously, not knowing what to do. Having struggled for a long time, I finally decided to call the number on the poster and get in touch with Chrissy. I told her that I might have something that belonged to her and made an appointment with her.
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. We were drinking milkshakes and sharing an order of sweet potato fries. Looking at the blue stone in her hand with her tearful eyes, she told me that the necklace was a gift from her mom before she got sick and she was grateful to me for returning the necklace to her. “Holding onto it somehow makes things a little better.” she said. I couldn’t agree more with her. It dawned on me that I became “a treasure girl” instead of “a trash girl” called by the mean kids at school.
【解析】

A
Later this month, Tate Britain will host its first Van Gogh exhibition since 1947. Here we’ve rounded up 4 of his best paintings before the show,
Potato Eaters
Potato Eaters was Van Gogh’s first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life, so the farmers are panted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands. He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting.
Irises
Van 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. The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay 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 Night
Despite 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 Café Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.
Wheat Field With Cypresses
This 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 National Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.
1. Which painting did Vincent van Gogh take most pride in?
A. Irises. B. Potato Eaters.
C. Cafe Terrace at Night D. Wheat Field With Cypresses.
2. What is the original color of the flowers in Irises?
A. Purple. B. Blue. C. Red. D. Yellow.
3. What do the last two paintings have in common?
A. They were the same in theme. B. They had more than two copies.
C. They were sold by the artist. D. They were painted on the ground.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了梵高的四幅代表作。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二自然段“Potato Eaters was Van Gogh’s first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. (《吃土豆的人》是梵高的第一部主要作品，尽管明显缺乏色彩，但这是他最引以为傲的作品)”可知，梵高最引以为豪的是《吃土豆的人》。故选B。
【2题详解】

(这件作品的灵感来自梵高避难窗口的景色，并在现场完成)”可知，这两幅画都是现场写生的。on the ground/spot (当场)。故选D。

A flight last month between Campinas and Sao Jose do Rio Preto in southern Brazil became the scene of a spontaneous act of kindness that spread on social media networks.
According to the website Aeroin net, a passenger named Sirlandia Dias Pereira was traveling with her son Caleb, who suffered from heart failure and had a heart murmur. During the flight she told the passenger next to her, Alex Pontes, that she was traveling so her son could be hospitalized. She also explained that she was relying on the charity of others for living quarters.
The passenger talked to the crew of the airline and asked to use the airplane’s loudspeaker, inviting the other travelers to contribute to a spontaneous collection to help the mother and her son. “All of us would like to find an angel to help us. Those of us who feel moved to do so, let’s help this mother to take a little something with her, a little something we have and can share.” he said.
In a matter of minutes, passengers offered a total worth near $400 which goes a lot further in Brazil than in the USA, plus applause for the mother, who was thrilled with the help and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to the passengers.
The site that first shared the story later updated the article, adding that Caleb went through surgery and was recovering well. The website Razoes Para Acreditar reported that the story caught the attention of Brazil in TV personality Luciano Huck, who started a crowd funding campaign to help the family.
This story just goes to show that a kind act can go a long way towards making an important difference in someone’s life. There are people in need all around us. Let’s not let these chances to help others pass us by!

A. To get her sick son treated B. To look for living quarters
C. To change for a better life D. To pick up her son from hospital
5. What did Alex Pontes do for the mother on the plane?
A. He gave her $400 by himself B. He called for donation for her
C. He helped her find a hospital D. He helped her attend to her son
6. Why did Lauciano Huck decide to help the mother and her son?
A. He was one of the witnesses on the plane. B. He wanted to make them well-known.
C. He was inspired by the spontaneous act. D. He was asked to offer assistance by them.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

C. To show the importance of first aid. D. To encourage us to help those in need.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D

Housing officials say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will and the skill, to address ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our roommate conflicts are because kids don’t know how to negotiate a problem.”
And as any pop psychologist will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent discontent that can boil over into frustration and anger. At the University of Florida, emotional outbursts occur about once a week, the university’s director of housing and residence education says. “It used to be: ‘Let’s sit down and talk about it.’” he says. “Over the past five years, roommate conflicts have increased. The students don’t have the person-to-person discussions and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to catch on, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.
Administrators speculate that reliance on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable encounters. Why express anger in person when you can vent in a text? “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director in the office of residential life at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more frictions as complaints go public.” In recent focus groups at North Carolina State University, dorm residents said they would not even confront noisy neighbors on their floor.
Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere on campus.
8. What is the main reason for many roommate conflicts?
A. Students are not strong-willed.
B. Students are not satisfied with each other.
C. Housing directors are not responsible for them.
D. Students are not good at reaching an agreement about the problems.
9. What do we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Students, especially freshmen, should bottle up their dissatisfaction.
B. Some students are not able to handle conflicts by the time they graduate.
C. Students in Florida sit down and have a person-to-person talk once a week.
D. The number of conflicts among roommates has decreased during the past five years.
10. What is the attitude of Dana Pysz when he mentions roommates disclosing their conflicts in the media?
A. Disapproval. B. Indifference. C. Eagerness. D. Empathy.
11. What should parents do according to the passage?
A. They should be involved in their children’s life on campus.
B. They should teach their children the skills to tackle the conflicts.
C. They should constantly contact the administrators of the college.
D. They should deal with their children’s problems in their whole lives.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了大学生宿舍冲突日益加剧的原因。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“So many of our roommate conflicts are because kids don’t know how to negotiate a problem.”（我们的很多室友冲突都是因为孩子们不知道如何协商问题。）可知，许多室友冲突的主要原因是学生们不善于就问题达成一致意见。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to catch on, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.”（这个问题在大一新生中表现得最为明显；舍务专员说，随着学生们临近毕业，他们看到了改善，但有些人似乎从来没有领会到这一点，他们担心这些学生毕业后将如何处理冲突。）可知，有些学生到毕业时还无法处理冲突。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“ ‘Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,’ says Dana Pysz, an assistant director in the office of residential life at the University of California, Los Angeles. ‘It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more frictions as complaints go public.’ ”（加州大学洛杉矶分校(University of California, Los Angeles)住宿生活办公室助理主任达纳·皮斯说:“有人在Facebook上的留言板上贴了一些东西:哦，我的室友让我整晚熬夜学习。”“这是一种表达彼此冲突的不同方式，随着投诉公开化，结果会产生更多摩擦。”）可知，达纳·皮斯并不赞同在媒体上公开与室友间的冲突这一做法。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. ”（管理人员指出，父母在孩子的整个生活中都解决了他们的问题。现在上了大学，孩子们甚至缺乏处理轻微冲突的能力。）可知，家长们应该教他们的孩子处理冲突的技能。故选B。
D
Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious (无意识的) preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience.
“The act of making a choice changes how we feel about our options,” said Alex Silver, a Johns Hopkins researcher. “Even infants who are really just at the start of making choices for themselves have this preference.”
The findings are published today in the journal Psychological Science. People assume they choose things that they like. But research suggests that’s sometimes backwards: we like things because we choose them. And, we dislike things that we don’t choose. “Adults make these inferences unconsciously,” said co-author Lisa Feigenson, a Johns Hopkins scientist in child development. “We justify our choice after the fact.”
This makes sense for adults in a consumer culture who must make random choices every day, between everything from toothpaste brands to styles of jeans. The question was when exactly people start doing this. So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices so, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”
The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other — a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the unchosen object.”
To continue studying the evolution of choice in babies, the lab will next look at the idea of “choice overload.” For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies.
12. What is people’s assumption about the act of making choices?
A. They like what they choose.
B. They choose what they like.
C. They base choices on the fact.
D. They make choices thoughtfully.
13. Why were babies selected as subjects for the study?
A. To help them make better choices.
B. To guide them to perceive the world.
C. To track the root of making random choices.
D. To deepen the understanding of a consumer culture.
14. What does the study on the babies show?
A. They like novel objects.
B. Their choices are mostly based on colors.
C. Their random choices become preferences.
D. They are unable to make choices for themselves.
15. What will the following study focus on?
A. The law of “choice overload”.
B. The problem of adults’ many choices.
C. Why too many choices can influence adults.
D. Whether babies are troubled with many choices.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了成年人在一生中在本质上相同的事物之间做出选择时会产生无意识的偏好，科学家就“婴儿在选择的过程中会基于自己的喜好吗”展开了研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“Though researchers have long known that adults build unconscious (无意识的) preferences over a lifetime of making choices between things that are essentially the same, the new finding that even babies engage in this phenomenon demonstrates that this way of justifying choice is intuitive (凭直觉的) and somehow fundamental to the human experience. (尽管研究人员早就知道，成年人在一生中在本质上相同的事物之间做出选择时会产生无意识的偏好，但即使是婴儿也会参与这一现象的新发现表明，这种证明选择合理性的方式是凭直觉的，而且在某种程度上是人类经验的基础)”和第三段中的“People assume they choose things that they like. (人们认为他们选择自己喜欢的东西)”可知，人们对选择行为的假设就是人们选择自己喜欢的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“So they turned to babies, who don’t get many choices so, as Feigenson puts it, are “a perfect window into the origin of this tendency.”(因此，他们转向了婴儿，婴儿没有太多选择，所以，正如费根森所说，这是“一个了解这种倾向起源的完美窗口”)”可知，选择婴儿作为研究对象是因为婴儿是追踪随机选择的根源。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段“The team brought 10-to 20-month-old babies into the lab and gave them a choice of objects to play with; two equally bright and colorful soft blocks. They set them far apart, so the babies had to crawl to one or the other — a random choice. After the baby chose one of the toys, the researchers took it away and came back with a new option. The babies could then pick from the toy they didn’t play with the first time, or a brand new toy. Their choices showed they “dis-prefer the unchosen object.”(研究小组将10到20个月大的婴儿带进实验室，让他们选择玩的物品；两块同样明亮多彩的软块。他们把它们隔开很远，所以婴儿们不得不爬到其中一个或另一个——随机选择。当婴儿选择了其中一个玩具后，研究人员将其拿走，并带着一个新的选择回来。然后，婴儿们可以从他们第一次没有玩过的玩具中挑选，或者挑选一个全新的玩具。他们的选择表明，他们“不喜欢未被选择的对象”)”可知，婴儿们不喜欢自己没有选过的玩具，说明他们喜欢自己选过的东西，可得出他们的随机选择变成了偏好。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“For adults, choice is good, but too many choices can be a problem, so the lab will try to determine if that is also true for babies. (对于成年人来说，选择是好的，但选择太多可能是一个问题，因此实验室将尝试确定婴儿是否也是如此)”可知，接下来实验室研究重点是“婴儿是否会被太多选择困扰”。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
It happens from time to time that after a whole morning of studying, you are tired in the afternoon. It is then that you may want to eat something sweet, perhaps a sweet drink or a chocolate bar to lift your mood. ___16___
But a study suggests that sugar can make you feel worse rather than lift your mood. The German and UK researchers collected data from 31 studies involving nearly 1,300 adults. ___17___ Those emotions include anger, alertness, depression and tiredness. They found that people who have too much sugar become more tired and less alert within an hour, and that these feelings become more intense over time.
According to researchers, when people take in sugar, their blood sugar levels rise rapidly, leading to a burst of energy and a short “feel good” period. However, as they begin to digest the sugar, their blood sugar levels decrease quickly, leading to a bad feeling. ___18___ As with caffeine, this prevents the body from relaxing, leaving people being tired and less alert.
___19___ According to WHO, it is healthy to have the sugars found naturally in fruit, vegetables and milk, so long as they make up less than 5 percent of our daily total energy intake.
So the next time you feel tired and can’t concentrate on study and work, perhaps you should think twice before you bite into a chocolate bar. There are still other ways to relieve tiredness. ___20___
A. Maybe a little exercise at midday is a better idea.
B. So cutting sweet food out of the diet is a good choice.
C. They studied the effect of sugar on some aspects of mood.
D. After all, it’s believed that a “sugar rush” gives you energy.
E. Sugar in any form is not necessarily good for the human body.
F. But the result of the study doesn’t mean giving up sweet food altogether.
G. To remain on a “high”, people may eat more sugar until they become addicted to it.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. A

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了“七夕节”的渊源及其发展。
【36题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：农历七月初七是七夕，被广泛认为是中国的情人节。分析句子可知，逗号前为句子，为主系表结构，所以空处用非谓语动词；句子主语The seventh day of the seventh lunar month与非谓语动词regard为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词regarded，故填regarded。
【37题详解】
考查固定句型。句意：传说织女遇见了一个牛郎，并爱上了他。legend has it that…是固定句型，意为“传说，相传”，故填that。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：玉皇大帝强烈反对这对夫妇的结合，并强行将他们用银河系分开，他们被银河分开，一年只能见一次面。object to sb./sth.是固定短语，意为“反对某人或某物”，to为介词，故填to。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，“leaving them ____4____ (tear) apart by the galaxy and only allowing them to meet once a year”在句中为状语，空处为非谓语动词作宾语补足语，非谓语动词tear与代词them为动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词torn，故填torn。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管如此，距离并不能阻止他们对彼此的爱，他们期待着每年的农历七月初七见面。根据句中“the distance could not stop their love”可知，逗号前为让步状语，表示“尽管如此”，that为代词，所以空处用介词， despite“尽管”为介词，位于句首，所以首字母大写。故填Despite。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：现代旅行的便利和高效缩短了夫妻间的“银河距离”。and 为并列连词，根据空前“convenience ”可知，此处用名词efficiency 与其表示并列，故填efficiency。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：在七夕，越来越多的年轻人通过约会和交换礼物来表达他们的感情。根据“and exchanging”可知，本句的时态为现在进行时；主语young people为复数，所以此处用are going，故填are going。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：民政局门口也经常排起长队，在那里情侣们争先恐后地登记结婚，空气中弥漫着爱的气息。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容为定语从句，先行词为the Civil Affairs Bureau，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where。故填where。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意：这是因为七夕具有象征意义：选择自己的爱情，忠贞一生。分析句子可知，空处在句中为宾语，指“七夕”这天，宾语和主语为同一物时，宾语使用反身代词。故填itself。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：同上。remain“保持”为连系动词，所以空处用形容词作表语，故填faithful。

I was moving as fast as I could, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven jetty(栈桥). Far ahead, I could see the back of my brother’s sandy hair and the bright orange of his shorts.
“Too slow, sister!” I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease.
“I’ll show him,” I thought, and attempted a double jump. What a mistake! My left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks. scraping my ankle. “Ouch!” I yelled. I tried to wiggle(扭动) my foot out, but my shoe was stuck. I bent closer to the rock and that’ s when I saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. It was just lying there on the wet sand, and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
Sam squinted(眯着眼睛看) in the sun. Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect discovery of the summer? I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket, pushing each corner of the square stone into my finger. I was dizzy, but I didn’t want Sam to notice. He liked to tell everybody my business.
“Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival! It happened to be perfect for sand art!
“Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!” They were antique little pig and cost only 50 cents.
My family calls me their “little collector. Some mean kids at school call me “trash girl”.
Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop, I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster. The necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago. We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought.

【答案】Once home, I placed the necklace in my special spot for special things, lost in thought. So far, there were a variety of things like mini cola bottles and shakers. I stared at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it a very special necklace? Should I return it to her? I paced back and forth in the room anxiously, not knowing what to do. Having struggled for a long time, I finally decided to call the number on the poster and get in touch with Chrissy. I told her that I might have something that belonged to her and made an appointment with her.
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting across from Chrissy in the candy shop. We were drinking milkshakes and sharing an order of sweet potato fries. Looking at the blue stone in her hand with her tearful eyes, she told me that the necklace was a gift from her mom before she got sick and she was grateful to me for returning the necklace to her. “Holding onto it somehow makes things a little better.” she said. I couldn’t agree more with her. It dawned on me that I became “a treasure girl” instead of “a trash girl” called by the mean kids at school.
