C 根據(jù)文章第三段可以得出答案. (3) Disney’s cartoon, Finding Nemo, tells a touching story of a father called Martin and his son Nemo. Martin loses his wife and an entire family of unhatched eggs to a huge shark. Only one fish egg remains, Nemo. Martin promises his dead wife that he will protect his young son at any cost. So, Martin becomes fearful of almost everything in the ocean. That makes him over protective-he hopes to keep his kid safe from the challenges that life presents. Martin’s naggingmakes Nemo feel that he doesn’t need his dad telling him what to do. So on his first day of school, Nemo and some friends swim to the edge of their coral reef, a place Martin always thinks is very dangerous. When Martin shouts at Nemo come back, Nemo refuses to listen to him and swim out to a boat in the distance. Suddenly, he gets caught by some divers. So begins Martin’s journey to find Nemo, who ends up in an aquarium in an office in Australia. Soon the worried father runs into Dory, a forgetful blue fish, who helps Martin find his son. Meanwhile, Nemo misses his father terribly. He soon hears that he will be given to an eight-year-old girl who likes to kill fish. Can Martin find his son before it is too late? Finding Nemo is a physical and mental journey. Martin overcomes his shyness and anxieties and Nemo discovers his own and his father’s hidden strengths. It celebrates the relationship between fathers and their sons. The cartoon paints a sea world that is alive with color. All the characters are very human-like and have their own personalities. Finding Nemo was released in the US on may 30, earning about US $70.6 million in just three days, it has set a new opening records for a cartoon. 查看更多

There seems never to have been a civilization(文明) without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.

In the ancient world, as is today, most boys play with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are strictly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.

What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. It is the universality of toys about their development in all parts of the world and their continuing to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.

Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to (服從于) technological progress that characterizes inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of advancement. The progress from a rattle (撥浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of materials then ready for use. (words: 285 ; time : 5ms)

1. The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that ________ .

A. their social roles are strictly determined

B. most boys would like to follow their fathers' jobs

C. boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers

D. they like challenging activities.

2. "The universality of toys" lies in the fact that ________ .

A. technological advances have greatly improved the making of toys

B. the improvement of techniques in making toys depends on the efforts of universities

C. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys

D. the basic characteristics of toys are the same all over the world

3. Regarded as a kind of art form, toys ________.

A. follow a direct line of development

B. also greatly interest adults

C. are not characterized by progress in technology

D. show the pace of social progress

(C)篇

1. A。由原文第二段第二句可知。

2. D。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句和第三句可知,玩具的基本的特征變化不大。

3. C。由文章最后一段第一句可知,玩具作為一種藝術(shù)形式,不因科技變化而變化。

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估計) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.

In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足夠的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.

The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

1.What would be the best title for this passage?

A.The Difficulties of Learning English

B.International Communications

C.The Standard Varieties of English

D.English as a World Language

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.

B.There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.

C.It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.

D.People learn English for a variety of reasons.

3.According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?

A.It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.

B.It is used in former British colonies.

C.It serves the needs of its native speakers.

D.It is a world language that is used for international communication.

4.What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?

A.The ability to read a newspaper.

 

B.It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation.

 

C.Being able to speak several languages.

D.Being a native speaker.

5.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?

A.Those geographically close to the United States.

B.Those interested in the culture of the United States.

C.Former colonies of Great Britain.

D.Countries where international conferences are held.

閱讀下面的文字,完成下列各題。

梵  高

張  煒

我們終于談到梵高了,神圣的梵高。在當代,他已經(jīng)是不同藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域中的崇拜人物。他的作品在商人那兒已經(jīng)化為金子,或者是遠比金子還要昂貴十倍的珍奇。但是像他那樣的心靈不僅用金錢無法溝通,就是用一般的藝術(shù)和精神也無法接近。他會在任何時候任何地點,拒絕那些流行的藝術(shù)熱望者、大知音和中產(chǎn)階級的高雅情調(diào)。因為他只是最平凡的人群中的一個靈魂,一個底層的感受者和傳達者,一個不屈服者和抗爭者,一個實踐善良和使用決心的人。他是貧民的兒子,是他們痛苦而尖銳的眼睛。在這樣的一雙眼睛面前,我們往往只有在無可奈何的沉默中壓住自己心底的驚嘆才行。他的境界是高不可攀的,因為那是底層藝術(shù)家所守護的最后一道防線,也是權(quán)利。這其實也是人的防線與權(quán)利。梵高可以讓我們明白,當一個人面對無情的外部世界時,頑強的精神會怎樣迸濺出火花,直至燃燒為熊熊烈焰。

我走在慕尼黑、曼哈頓、巴黎等最著名的藝術(shù)博物館里,在星光燦爛之中,在無法窮盡的藝術(shù)、不同時代不同流派的大薈萃面前,常常有一種無可逃匿的眩暈感。在跨越時空而來的多角度多層次、頻繁急促和陡然有力的各種撞擊之下,那根本來敏感的神經(jīng)已經(jīng)麻木疲萎?墒,幾乎是無一例外,只要一走近梵高,一走近他的展出單元,立刻就會感到一片輝煌之光撲面而來。就這樣,最昂揚的音樂陡然奏響。世界馬上改變了,雙眼睜大了,一切又重新開始了。

這是怎樣神秘的力量,這力量又從何而來?

當然,一切只能源于他的這個生命。他的生命仍然在持續(xù)不斷地發(fā)散----首先是從源頭,從他執(zhí)筆之時,從那一刻的怦怦心跳開始震動我們,使我們至今不能安寧。他眼中的一切原來與我們有巨大區(qū)別,就是這區(qū)別讓我們雙眼大睜、心上一凜。這區(qū)別當然是來自他的目光,它有強大的剝落和穿鑿的力量:世界上的所有事物都被我們的眼睛蒙上了一層庸常的布幔,但這布幔在梵高那兒馬上被刺破,或被抽揭一空。世界裸露了,本真顯現(xiàn)了,所以他讓我們看到的就是強烈的光,是逼人的顏色,是疾旋與燃燒,是轟響和炸裂,是呼叫和奔突......我們每個人本來都擁有這種直視的能力,不幸的是后來的生活給予我們每個人無盡的磨損,我們喪失了這種能力,而只有神奇的梵高保留了。

梵高做過教師、畫店營業(yè)員、傳教士、書店店員、畫家。這些職業(yè)是那么不同,可是在梵高那兒并沒有人們想像的那么大的差異。因為他以同樣的心情去做,同樣用力,同樣真實。他賦予任何工作的,都僅僅是一份生命的虔誠。也正是由于這種對于工作的非同常人的理解,他差不多把每一樣工作都給做“砸了”。最后是作畫----他現(xiàn)在被公認為最偉大的畫家之一,可是當時卻被看成是最不成功的畫家,幾乎沒有賣出過一幅作品。他沒有一般專業(yè)人士看好的技法,簡直沒有受到什么正規(guī)的、更不要說是深入獨到的專業(yè)訓(xùn)練了。他的畫被看成可笑的涂抹,形式上一塌糊涂。那些直接而強悍的筆觸、生猛可怖的畫面,能夠毫不費力地逼退那些藝術(shù)沙龍的寵兒。其實比起梵高而言,許多人等于生活在溫室中,他們沒有經(jīng)歷真實的風雨陽光,當然也沒有接受過催逼,沒有傾聽過號叫,沒有接受過起碼的人生打擊。他們怎么具有理解梵高的能力呢?

真實的生活,底層的生活,有時候、許多時候都是刺目的。但是在漫長的人生旅途中,生活的真實面目還是要顯現(xiàn)----最后總是要顯現(xiàn)。這是一個頑強的規(guī)律。每到這個時刻,人們也就開始理解了梵高,只不過稍微晚了些。

梵高的藝術(shù),像許多真正的藝術(shù)一樣,是直到最后才被接受下來的。

他保留下了大量書信。人們閱讀這些書信時,才知道他是多么熱情、對生活多么摯愛的人。人們讀得淚眼汪汪。其實他的畫作已經(jīng)再好不過地表達了這種熱烈。他的巨大的慈愛并不需要直接說出,他的柔情也并不需要,因為他全部都畫出來了。他正是為這種愛,而不是為這種藝術(shù),交出了自己全部的生命。

——《遠逝的風景》

文章指出梵高的“心靈不僅用金錢無法溝通,就是用一般的藝術(shù)和精神也無法接近”,為什么?盡量用文中的語言作答,不超過14個字。

文章第三自然段:“這是怎樣神秘的力量”中“這”所指代的具體內(nèi)容是什么?

畫線的句子問:“這力量又從何而來?”文中除從總的方面回答:“源于他的這個生命”以外,還說了兩個具體的答案,請用自己的話予以歸納。

下列對文章的理解有誤的兩項是:(     )

    A.梵高的作品現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成為商人們以高價競相購買的收藏品,而且成了商人們心中的無價之寶。

    B.梵高讓我們明白了頑強的精神可以使人在面對無情的外部世界時迸濺出火花,以至成為熊熊燃燒的烈焰

    C.由于在慕尼黑等地的最著名的藝術(shù)博物館里,藝術(shù)家眾多,不同時代的藝術(shù)流派紛至沓來,使人常常有一種無可逃匿的眩暈感,故爾使作者對他們的作品產(chǎn)生了反感。

    D.梵高現(xiàn)在已被公認為最偉大的畫家之一,但在梵高的一生中做過教師、畫店營業(yè)員、傳教士、書店店員、畫家,均未達到成功的目的,雖然他如同做畫那樣以同樣的心情去做,同樣用力,同樣真實。

    E.梵高的畫以逼人的顏色,強烈的光,強悍的筆觸,生猛可怖的畫面,裸露、顯現(xiàn)了世界的真實面目,逼退了當時藝術(shù)沙龍中的寵兒,因而遭到當時人們的否定。
