第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）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。

21．（6分）One day a very skilled artist met a beautiful woman who immediately became the object of his affections. As he observed her and spoke with her, he admired her more and more. He showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented to be his wife.
Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found out that she was more the object of his artistic interest than of his affections. When he admired her classic beauty, it was as though he were standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being to whom he had pledged his love and promised his life. And soon he expressed his great desire to put her rare beauty on canvas.
“ Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded, “ and I will make your beauty permanent. The work will b e my masterpiece!”
She was humble and patient as well as flattered by his words, so she said, “Yes, my love. I will be happy to sit for you.” So the beautiful, young wife of the artist sat meekly for hours in his studio, not complaining. Day after day she sat patiently, smiling as she posed, because she loved him and because she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience. She sometimes wanted to call out to him, “ Please love me and want me as a person rather than as an object !” But instea d, she spoke nothing but words which pleased him.
At length, as the labor drew to close, the painter became wilder in his passion for his work. He only rarely turned his eyes from the canvas to look at his wife. As he stood there gazing at his beautiful wo rk of art, he cried with a loud voice, “This is indeed life itself!” Then he turned to his beloved and saw that she was dead!
1、In what way did the artist express his appreciation of his wife’s rare beauty?
A．He put her classic beauty on canvas.
B．He promised to marry her.
C．He centered his deep affection on her.
D．He pledged his love and promised his life to her.
2、What can be inferred from the story?
A．The artist loved his work more than his wife.
B．The artist didn’t really understand what is beauty.
C．The wife was fooled to sacrifice for his art creation.
D．The wife loved his painting more than herself.
3、What did the artist mean by saying “This is indeed life itself!”？
A．He appreciated his life of painting. B．He was grateful to his wife.
C．His work was more true to life than life itself. D．His effort was really worth it.
4、What would be the best title for this passage?
A．A Well-matched Couple B．A Devoted Artist
C．A Rare Masterpiece D．A Stupid Wife
22．（8分）When people find out that I am a journalist, they often ask me: What do you think about the future of newspapers?
I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online. People expect me to be fearful for the future of print. After all, in some people's minds I wouldn't be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online. However, strangely enough, I’m actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual. I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online.
Since I began writing blogs, I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing. Compare this to the newspapers circulation base, and you will have a strong reason for online journalism.
In her successful blog post titled The Job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have, author Jenny Surane states, "Print is an expensive product to love. And general managers, publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers' heads.” She goes on to state that people don't feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll(滚屏) through their Twitter feed, and get news from many different sources.
If print is dying, then a new form of communicating information is being born. The need for information has not died. If anything, it has increased. What has died, rather, is the way in which information is presented.
Now more than ever, in this age of information, there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view. The printing industry can keep pate with the
need of providing a variety of sources, if it chooses to.
Is the future of print grim? Maybe, But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people, grim as well? Definitely not.
1、According to Paragraph 2, the author feels .
A．confident about the future of his career
B．worried about the future of print
C．tired of being a newspaper journalist
D．embarrassed about online writing
2、What information is conveyed in Jenny's blog post?,
A．Twitter is not very popular
B．It is hard to manage online journalism
C．Prim still has its advantages
D．People have more choices to get information
3、What does the underlined word “grim” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Promising B．Depressing
C．Unforgiving D．Encouraging
4、What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To explore the future of journalism
B．To analyze the cause of print decline
C．To explain the bright future of a journalist
D．To introduce a successful blog post about print
23．（8分）After two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection of the 100 greatest novels written in English. Take a look at a few in his list:
The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Banyan (1678)
A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan’s prose makes this an English classic.
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (139)
By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist.
Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)
A great work that’s been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.
Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)
Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart”.
Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)
Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.
Emma by Jane Austen (1816)
Jane Austen’s Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.
The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)
Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel—a classic adventure story with supernatural elements—has fascinated and influenced generations of writers.
1、Which English book has got the most translations before the 20th century? A．Robinson Crusoe. B．Gulliver’s Travels.
C．Tom Jones. D．Emma.
2、What does Samuel Johnson think we can learn about from the book Clarissa?
A．A love story. B．Quarrels in a family.
C．The human heart. D．The spirits of the lime.
3、What makes the characters in Tom Jones famous?
A．Their classic lifestyles.
B．Their different nationalities.
C．Their typical spirits of the age.
D．Their representation of the society.
24．（8分）Donald Trump was born in Queens, a borough of New York City. He was the fourth child. He had two brothers and two sisters. By his own telling, young Donald often created trouble in school. So when he was 13 years old, his parents sent him to a military-style school.
Trump went on to college first at Fordham University in New York, and then at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned a degree in economics. He was also already
investing in real estate. After he graduated, Trump quickly returned to New York City and his career.
In time, he became the head of the family business. He re-named it the Trump Organization. As its president, Trump developed and put his name on luxury buildings, casinos, hotels, and golf courses around the world. Later, he became linked to the entertainment industry, too. He became a part owner of beauty pageants, hosted a television show, and wrote a book about how to succeed in business.
During these years, Trump also married three times and divorced twice. The media wrote especially about his first and second marriages because he openly had a relationship with his second wife while he was married to his first. In 2005, he married Melania Knauss, a former model from Slovenia. She is only the second first lady who was not born in the United States. The first was Louisa Adams, who came from Britain in 1801.
But, until he officially entered the 2016 campaign as a Republican candidate, few linked him to politics.
Trump is unusual among past presidents because he had never worked in the government before. Nor has Trump served in the military. Only Presidents Taylor, Grant, and Eisenhower had no previous government experience; however, they had all been generals.
Trump is the oldest person ever to take office. He was 70 years old when he was sworn in.
He is also one of the richest.
And Trump is unusual in how he communicates with the public. As president, he continues to use Twitter to communicate his thoughts directly to anyone who wants to follow him.
While the long-term effects of Trump's presidency are not yet known, he will likely be remembered in part for his direct and unscripted style of communication.
1、Donald Trump is quite a different American president ever because _______. A．only he has never entered politics before
B．he is the first to use the modern social media Twitter to speak
C．he is the richest president ever
D．only his wife wasn’t born in the US
2、Trump is a successful businessman and his business involves in the following
except________.
A．television B．beauty
C．real estate D．publishing
3、Which of the following can’t suit Donald Trump?
A．He is the oldest president when taking office.
B．He has once served in the army.
C．He wrote a book about how to do business.
D．His father had five children.
4、What does the underlined word unscripted in the last sentences mean? A．Unfinished. B．Undertaken. C．Unprepared. D．Unspoken.
25．（10分）The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists （人类学家）. Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧石器时代) Man”, “Neolithic(新石器时代) Man”, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this: “In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t u se their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.”
The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes.
In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning “I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again.
By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.
1、Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” because _________. A．people prefer cars, buses and trains
B．people travel without using legs
C．lifts prevent people from walking
D．people use their legs less and less
2、According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes? A．The modern means of transportation. B．A bird’s-eye view of the world. C．The unclear sight from the vehicles. D．The fast-paced life style.
3、From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _________. A．appreciating beautiful scenery B．experiencing life skills
C．focusing on the next destination D．feeling physical tiredness
4、What does the author intend to tell us?
A．Modern transportation devices have replaced legs.
B．Traveling makes the world a small place.
C．Human’s history develops very fast.
D．The best way to travel is on foot.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
29、Dear Isaac,
How are you? I’m writing to ask you for help.
Recently I have been addicted to a popular online game, which I find difficult to get rid of. I spend a lot of time on it and often stay up late. As a result, I feel sleepy in class during the day and I can’t focus on my study and, as expected, I get left behind. What’s worse, my parents often complain about my terrible hobby so we’re having a tough time getting along with each other.
I’ve realized that playing the game does m e too much harm and I must change this.
I know you once gave up online game successfully, so could you tell me how you made it?
I would be so thankful if you could help me!
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
LiHua。
