Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.

Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but noting was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, ano ther famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.59.

EncouragementPART FOUR Writing(5 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you're around other people. Experts (专家) have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences.It's OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It's just a case of how much.Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill (账单). Some are afraid ofmeeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn't a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.Y ou see, being shy isn't all bad. But remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There's nothing to be afraid of.SECTION B (6 marks)Directions: Read the following passage; answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Germs are everywhere and there are 200 kinds living in human body. Although some are necessary part of life, other germs do great harm to your body, so you have to avoid them. Here are some tips on how to avoid germs in public.Be a role model. Teach hygiene (卫生)knowledge at home and in schools. Kids learn fast and will copy all hygiene habits. If a parent shows them, they can successfully avoid germs in public. Wash your hands for the amount of time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. Teach children not to cover their mouths with hands and avoid plac ing their fingers into mouths.Y ou should use a paper towel to open public bathroom doors. Instead of using your hands to turn on the water in a public toilet, use a paper towel. Most shops provide paper towel in the entrance; get hold of one on your way into the store and wipe the handle (把手). After attending a public event where you shake a lot of hands, wash your hands before you leave. On the way home, keep your fingers out of your mouth and do not touch your eyes.If you favor a Jacuzzi (按摩浴缸) , be sure it has been kept properly. Before you leave, take a shower.When you have a cold, frequently wash the phone and refrigerator handle. If someone near you sneezes, leave the room and come back till the air clears. Wash your hands frequently during the day. Keep some clean paper towels in your bag.Watch out for all kinds of handles. Watch out for department store elevator handles and bathroom door handles. Grocery cart ( 手推车) handles also have dangerous germs.68 What does the passage mainly talked about? ( No more than 8 words)69 What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? (No more than 2 words)70 What should you do after you shake hands with others? (No more than 4 words)71 What does the author advise you to do when someone near you sneezes? (No more than 12 words)SECTION C (5 marks)Tanslation between English and ChineseDirections: Read the following passage, and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese and the Chinese into English.This morning we attended a lecture about Pompeii. 72The city was founded in the 8th century BC. In 89 BC, the Romans took over Pompeii. 73 之后，庞贝城就成为富有，忙碌的城市. 74Near the city was a volcano. On 24 August AD 75,the volcano erupted and lava, ash and rocks poured out of it onto the surrounding countryside. 75 It continued to erupt for the next two days. 76 许多人都被活埋了，这个城市也是. How unfortunate!SECTION D (10marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.中国式过马路，是网友对中国人集体闯红灯现象的一种调侃，即“凑够一撮人就可以走了，和红绿灯无关”。

Take 200 boys, between the ages of 12 and 16, and resear ch into their background and environment. Then predict their ch ances for the future.The students, after consulting social statistics, talking to the boy s, and compiling (汇编) much data, concluded that 90 percent of the boys would sp end some time in prison.Twentyfive years later another group of graduate students was given the job of testing the prediction. They went back to the sa me area. Some of the boys—by then men—were still there, a few had died, some had moved away, but the y got in touch with 180 of the original 200. They found that only four of the group had ever been sent to prison.Why was it that these men, who had lived in a breeding(滋生)place of crime, had such a surprisingly good record? The res earchers were continually told: “Well, there was a teacher...”They pressed further, and found that in 75 percent of the cases it was the same woman. The researchers went to this teacher, now living in a home for retired teachers. How had she exerted (发挥) this remarkable influence over that group of children? Could she give them any reason why these boys should have remem bered her?“No，” she said, “no I really couldn't.” And then, thinking back o ver the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her q uestioners: “I loved those boys.”41．What were a group of graduate students instructed to do?A. To research into the living conditions of the poor citizens.B. To foretell what the future might have in store for poor kids.C. To study 200 boys in the slums between 12 to 16 and predict their future.D. To survey the background and environment of 200 teenager s.42．Seeing only four boys with bad records, the researchers pr obably felt________.A. relievedB. surprisedC. disappointedD. frust rated43．Most of the 200 surveyed boys grew into good citizens because________.A. their parents were strict with themB. they had great ambition as childrenC. they were expected to do good deedsD. a woman teacher loved and cared them44．What conclusion can we draw from the story?A. Love can work miracles.B. Like teacher, like pupil.C. Adversity leads to prosperity.D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.BBeldon and Canfield are two seashore towns, not far apart.

The Human Resources Department recently surveyed the employees, they are wasting nearly two hours per day.Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agre on what are the most important behaviors to stoo. For example, look at activity No.1 in the table below, many people are doing this; however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recmmend that we focus on activities No.2,4, and 5.Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do this much more thae men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break.For No.4, we should focus on the younger age group. We wll tell them that we are going to chech their work accounts for personal meesages. For No.5, we can ask managers to watch this more carefully. Perhaps activity No.3 should continue. This allows employees to know each other and it can increase their motivation. The managers willknow if someone is spending too much time talking and not enough time working.Are you availabe tomorrow? I’d like to meet with you to discuss our next step.*percentage (%) of employees who do this three times per week or more36.

Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a p erson from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by an swering “yes” or “no” to these questions:a.Do you move your lips when reading silently?b.Do you point to those words with your fingers as you read?c.Do you move your head from side to side as you read?d.Do you read one word at a time?If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to br eak the habit. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them , or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are readi ng. Then if your lips move, you will know it and stop them movin g.If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then yo u won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If youmove your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your he ad still.If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, yo u need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at ea ch glance when your eyes are traveling across the lines of word s.Even if you do read fairly fast now, you can learn to read even f aster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast readin g is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in gr oups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as yo u can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two thi ngs will be able to read faster.51. While reading, you should ____.A. not hold your books with your handsB. not keep your head stillC. not use your finger to point to the wordsD. do all of the things mentioned in A, B and C52. You may hold your fingers over your lips when you read so as _____.A. to feel whether your lips move or notB. to tell others to be silentC. to keep yourself from talking to othersD. to hold a piece of paper between them53. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, ____.A. you need to read the words outB. you need look at ev ery word carefullyC. you need to remember every wordD. you need to read seve ral words at a time54. If you can read fairly fast now, ____.A. you don’t need to learn to read fasterB. you can learn to read even fasterC. you can go on reading like thatD. you can enjoy re adingBSchool tragedyA man wounded eight school children to death and injured five others while they were waiting at their school gate in , Province , on the morning of March 23.Police arrested(put somebody into prison) 43-year-old suspect(嫌犯) Zheng Mingsheng, a former community doctor in Nanping.Zheng is a native of Nanping and used to work at the Mazhan C ommunity clinic(诊所), before quitting his job in June 2009.The local prosecutor(检查官) said on March 24, Zheng, who showed no sign of any ment al illness in conversation, told investigators(people who were lo oking into the case) that he developed hatred(feeling of hating s omebody or something) toward society after failing to find a job and breaking up with his girlfriend.A Spring FestivalWater-Sprinkling Festival, which comes in mid-April, is the new year of the Dai ethnic people(傣族人) in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. In face of the recent serious drought disaster, there have been calls for calling off th is year’s festival celebrations.Droughts and floods are not new things. Still, the Water-Sprinkling Festival keeps going on year by year. Indeed, this is a serious drought, but that is not a reason to call off this year’s celebrations. After all, it is an important event for Dai people to carry forward their culture.Of course, the drought will affect the celebrations to some exten t. Given the seriousness of the disaster, this year not so much water is available for sprinkling. So many Dai people suggest o nly symbolic activities be held. They also call for donations to be made and prayer ceremonies for rain around the festival. This is expected to be a special Water-Sprinkling Festival. Coalmine DisasterA coalmine operated by Dongxing Coalmining Co. in , Province , where an underground fire killed 25 miners on March 15 beca me a public concern.A local work safety regulator said the mine should have been g oing through technical reforms, but restarted production without a license.After the tragedy, the police detained(扣押) an investor and several senior managing persons of the coa lmine. Four officials who are believed to have failed to perform t heir managing roles effectively, including a vice mayor of Xinmi, were removed from their posts.55.The suspect created a bloody case mainly because _______.A. he caused a medical accident during an operation in the cl inic and was firedB. his girlfriend left him and married a teacher in that schoolC. he became mentally disturbed after a set of failures in financ eD. he hated the whole society deeply after a series of failure in personal life56. What happened to Dai people this year? ________.A. Their Water-Sprinkling festival was called off thanks to the drought inB. They had to celebrate their annual Spring Festival simply wit hout enough waterC. People throughout our country only donated to those earthqu ake-stricken areas inD. Their prayers for rain didn’t come true57. _______ probably led to Dongxing Coalmine disaster accord ing to paragraph 2.A. the restarting production without necessary technical and saf ety gurantees (保障)B. an underground fireC. the officials’ failure to inspect the safety conditions of the coa lmineD. the bad management of Dongxing Coalmining Co. in , Provi nce58. Where can the news possibly be taken from?A. A magazine about natural disastersB. A newspaper on cult ure and customC. A news review magazineD. A government reportC.Today we’ll tell you about some new understanding of why cutti ng the main branch of a plant or tree can lead to better develop ment.The findings are from researchers on two_continents.Professor Prezemyslaw Prusinkiewicz of the University of Calgary in Can ada led the research with scientists from and Sweden.Their stu dy appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Scie nces.Researchers have known since the 1930s that the actively grow ing tip of a plant produces a hormone(荷尔蒙)called auxin(生长素)．This hormone flows down the main stem.Scientists say th e auxin has an indirect effect on buds(芽)on the side of the ste m to prevent branching.These buds themselves also produce auxin.The research sugg ests that to grow，they have to be able to export the hormone into the main stem. But the flow from the stem tip prevents them from doing this.Th e researchers wanted to find out how this blocking happens. Professor Prusinkiewicz is on leave in Australia，but he sent us an e－mail suggesting a simple way to understand the process.Think of a major road crowded with traffic.So many cars are on the m ain road that the cars on the side roads cannot enter.The stem is like the crowded main road.The new research sho ws that the buds on the side cannot export their auxin into the main stem because it is too full.But if that main shoot is pruned(修剪)，other buds below it can start exporting.They are no longer prev ented from growing.Ottoline Leyser from the University of York says that after a pla nt is pruned，all the inhibited(被抑制的)shoot tips compete with each other to grow.In doing this，the branches influence each other’s growth.Nearby shoot tips a re more likely to affect each other than those that are far apart f rom each other.Professor Leyser says the strongest branches grow best，wherever they may be on the plant.The study found that the ma in shoot grows the best of all not because of its position at the t op of the plant，but mostly because it got there first.59.The underlined part “two continents” in Paragraph 2 refers to “__________”．A．Asia and AfricaB．Africa and EuropeC．North America and EuropeD．Australia and Europe60．Professor Prusinkiewicz compares the cars on the side roa ds to __________.A．plant stems B．plant budsC．the leaves of a plant D．the roots of a plant 61．To make the buds on the side of the stem to grow better，the main shoot should __________.A．be cut offB．be protectedC．be watered as much as possibleD．be given much auxin62．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A．Researchers have recently found out that the growing tip of a plant produces hormones.B．Auxin has a direct effect on buds to keep branches from gro wing.C．Buds on the side of the stem can’t produce hormones. D．In order to grow，the buds on the side of the stem export the hormones into the main stem.63．Which of the following may be the best title for this passag e?A．Why shoot tips grow fast?B．When and how to prune plants?C．Scientists help cut the mystery behind pruningD．The great scientist—Prezemyslaw PrusinkiewiczDThe success of Pickwick Papers made Dickens very popular.He suddenly found himself at twenty-four,the most famous novelist of his day.Busy as his social life was,he worked on two novels at the same time—Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers.He was particularly proud of Pickwick,which was a huge success and was regarded as a co medy masterpiece.“If I were to live a hundred years and write n ovels in each,I should never be so proud of any of them as I am of Pickwick.”It has been said of Dickens that he gripped(控制)the imagination of his readers because his imagination gripp ed himself.The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry.When writing Oliver Twist he said that hecould not rest until Fagin,the wrong-doer,had been hanged. Dicken’s marriage to Catherine Hagarth,with whom he had nine children,ended unhappily in 1858.He started to travel about givi ng readings of his works.His interest in theatre gave his novels t he qualities that made them suitable for reading aloud on the st age.A tiring travel to the United States affected his health.On Ju ne 9,1870,when he was working on a new novel,he died,as he had wished.He said he wanted to die working.64.It seems clear that Dickens became a famous novelist _____ _.A.because of his social workB.with the success of PickwickC.because he was writing two novels at the same timeD.when he began to give readings of his works65.According to this passage we know that Dickens ______.A.was only interested in writing novelsB.didn’t like Oliver TwistC.wished to live a hundred years and write three novels in eachD.didn’t think he could write a better novel than Pickwick Paper s in his life66.From the passage we can see that Fagin must be ______.A.a person in real lifeB.a character in Oliver TwistC.a character in Pickwick PapersD.one of Dickens’ works67.Which of the following is true?A.Dickens had always enjoyed his marriage to Catherine Hagar th.B.Dickens was a successful actor.C.Dickens’ death had little to do with his hard work.D.Dickens had wished to die in the course of work.EDear Sir,Mr. Smith wrote to your newspaper to complain that his telepho ne was out of order for more than a week.We received a complaint from Mr.Smith at 2:30 p.m. on May 6.
