British Museum
When the British Museum opened in 1759 it was the first of its kind in the world: the only national museum open to the public. It was – and still is – free to visit. The displays are organised by location and time period: Ancient Iran, Greece, China from 5000 BC onwards, Roman Britain and so on. Overwhelmed?

B
Adriana put down the knife, stepped back and looked at her finished painting. She was usually her own worst critic, but today Adriana was pleased with what she saw. Sunset was her best work yet! Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always “What’s that supposed to be?” or “Artists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth.” Still, she didn’t care. Adriana painted to please herself, not others.
When she showed the work to Mr. Marcus, her middle school art teacher, the net day, he shook his head and said sternly, “Please Adriana, I’ve had enough of this.” Anyone hearing this comment and its tone would naturally think Mr. Marcus was criticizing her work, but it was his frustration speaking. He loved Adriana’s paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them publicly. She always refused.
As her middle school graduation approached, however, Adriana began worrying about university. Her parents would cover her study fees, but Adriana planned to pay for her university books, art supplies and accommodation herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the suggestion, Adriana agreed. A disbelieving grin appeared on Mr. Marcus’s face.
The following day, after checking the newspapers and visiting several local real estate offices, Adriana and Mr. Marcus wandered around the town looking for a suitable location. Finally, though, they could not find anything
within their price range.
At the day’s end, the pair entered a small coffee shop to rest. Mr. Marcus could see the disappointment on Adriana’s face and, as a woman came to take their order, said, “Don't worry. We’ll find somewhere to show your art.” On hearing this, the woman said, “Did you say art? You know we show local artists’ works right here in the café,” pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls. “Bring a few of your pieces around tomorrow for me to look at. I’m Susan by the way, the owner.” After thanking Susan for her offer, Adriana and Mr. Marcus left the cafe in amazement.
The next morning Adriana brought along Sunset and Mr. Marcus the two p aintings of Adriana’s he’d purchased earlier that year. Susan studied the paintings in silence, concentrating hard on each one. After what felt like a lifetime, she turned to Adriana and said, “I’d be honoured to hang these in my café.”
4. What can we learn about Adriana from the first paragraph?
A. She was very independent in her thinking.
B. She was not very popular with her classmates.
C. She was easily affected by other people’s opinions.
D. She was very confident in her own artistic abilities.
5. What was Mr. Marcus’s opinion of Adriana’s paintings?
A. Strongly critical.
B. Very positive.
C. Somewhat frustrating.
D. A little confusing.
6. Why did Adriana finally agree to show her artwork?
A. Her high school graduation was getting nearer.
B. She felt guilty about troubling Mr. Marcus.
C. Her parents were in desperate need of money.
D. She wanted to help support herself during university.
7. Adriana finally found a place to show her artwork mainly because of ________.
A. friendly encouragement
B. strong determination
C. careful planning
D. good luck
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。

Adriana想展出自己的作品，但是找不到合适的地方。

最后她无意中遇到一位咖啡店店主，
店主同意在她的店里展出Adriana的作品。

【4题详解】推理判断题。

根据第一段中的“…Not that her classmates would agree. Their reaction to her abstract art was always “What’s that supposed to be?” or “Artists use brushes to paint, not knives, string and cloth.” Still, she didn’t
care. Adriana painted to please herself, not others”可知，Adriana的同学们不能理解她的抽象艺术。

但是，
Adriana并不在乎。

Adriana画画是为了取悦自己，而不是为了取悦别人。

由此推知，她有自己的独立的思想，
并不在乎别人的看法。

故选A。

【5题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“He loved Adriana’s paintings and had repeatedly begged her to show them
publicly”可知，Mr. Marcus喜欢Adriana的画作，曾多次请求她公开展示。

因此，他对于Adriana的作品持
肯定的态度。

故选B。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Adriana planned to pay for her university books, art supplies and accommodation
herself. So, this time, when Mr. Marcus made the suggestion, Adriana agreed”可知，Adriana计划自己支付她的
大学书籍，艺术用品和住宿的费用。

所以，这一次，当Mr. Marcus提出建议时，Adriana同意了。

故选D。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后两段可知，Adriana和Mr. Marcus在多方寻找无果的情况下，在一家咖啡店谈及此事
时，店主听到了他们的交谈，然后店主让他们把作品拿过来看看。

最后，店主同意Adrian将作品在她的店
内展出。

这一切都是一种巧合。

由此可知，Adriana是由于好运才找到展出作品的地方的。

故选D。

【点睛】根据事实细节，推断合理信息。

推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和
推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。

推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，
但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面
文字信息做多步推理。

也就是说，要做到判断有据，推论有理，忠实原文。

切忌用自己的观点代替作者的
本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。

例如第二题，考生根据第二段中的“Mr. Marcus喜欢Adriana的画作，
曾多次请求她公开展示”直接推断出Mr. Marcus对Adriana的画作的态度。

C
As we continue to explore farther out into our solar system and beyond, the question of humans living on other planets often comes up. Manned bases on the Moon or Mars for example, have long been a dream of many. There is a
natural desire to explore as far as we can go, and also to extend humanity's presence on a permanent or at least
semi-permanent basis. In order to do this, however, it is necessary to adapt to different extreme environments. On the Moon for example, a colony must be self-sustaining and protect its inhabitants from the airless, harsh environment outside.
Mars, though, is different. While future bases could adapt to the Martian environment over time there is also the possibility of modifying the surrounding environment instead of just co-existing with it. This is the process of terraforming - adjusting Mars’ atmosphere and environment to make it more Earth-like. But the bigger question is, should we?
One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be preserved as much as possible? If the answer is yes, then large-scale human settlements on Mars should be completely off-limits. Small colonics might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then terraforming should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done.
What if Mars is lifeless? Even if no life exists there, that untouched and unique alien environment needs to be preserved as it is as much as possible. We’ve already done too much damage here on our own planet. By studying Mars and other planets and moons in their current natural state, we can learn so much about their history and also learn more about our own world. We should appreciate (he differences of other worlds instead of just transforming them to suit our own ambitions.
8. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Is there life on Mars?
B. Can we adapt to Mars?
C. Should we terraform Mars?
D.Are Mars and Earth So Different? 9. What does the author think we should do if life is found on Mars ? A. Ensure that it's not harmed. B. Negotiate with the Martians. C. Change the unpopulated regions. D. Assess the advantages and disadvantages. 10. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Complex. B. Native. C. Foreign. D. Intelligent. 11. How does the author develop his ideas in the text?
A. By referring to others' research.
B. By evaluating different planets.
C. By justifying the benefits of terraforming.
D. By arguing in support of one viewpoint.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】

这是一篇议论文。

文章论述了人类是否应该移民火星，在火星上大规模建造定居点这个问题。

【8题详解】
主旨大意题。

第一、二段提出问题：我们应该调整火星的大气和环境，使它更像地球吗? 第二段提出：首先要弄清楚火星上是否有原生生命，如果有，那么在火星上建造大规模人类定居点应该是完全禁止的。

第三段提出：如果火星没有生命，也要尽可能地保护原始的、独特的外星环境。

不能为了自己的野心而伤害火星。

综上，文章主要回答了这个问题：人类是否应该移民火星，在火星上大规模建造定居点。

故选C。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist”可知，如果火星上存在任何原生栖息地，生活在火星上就不应该以牺牲它们为代价。

即：要保证火星生物不受伤害。

故选A。

【10题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据第三段中“One of the main issues is whether Mars has any native life or not and if it does, should it be preserved as much as possible?... Small colonics might be fine, but living on Mars should not be at the expense of any native habitats, if they exist. If Mars is home to any indigenous life, then terraforming should be a non-issue; it simply should not be done”可知，该段第一句提出问题：火星上是否有原生生命，如果有，是否应该尽可能地保护? 然后下文回答，如果火星上存在任何原生栖息地，生活在火星上就不应该以牺牲它们为代价。

由此推知，该画线词所表达的意思应为：如果火星是任何土著生命的家园，那么地球改造应该是一个不存在的问题：这根本不应该做。

因此，画线词的意思应为“native”。

故选B。

【11题详解】
推理判断题。

第一、二段提出问题：我们应该调整火星的大气和环境，使它更像地球吗? 第二段提出：首先要弄清楚火星上是否有原生生命，如果有，那么在火星上建造大规模人类定居点应该是完全禁止的。

第三段提出：如果火星没有生命，也要尽可能地保护原始的、独特的外星环境。

不能为了自己的野心而伤害火星。

因此，本文主要通过论述来阐明一个观点：无论是否在火星上建造人类定居点，我们都不应该破坏火星的原始环境。

其余选项，A（提到别人的研究）；B（评估不同的星球）；C（证明改造的好处）均未提到。

故选D。

【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。

文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。

例如第1题，考生通过概括每段的主要意思，然后总结概括出文章的主旨大意。

D
After 400 years, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is still widely celebrated as a great crafter of language and playwright (剧作家).But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre. While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China’s greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.
Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and worked as a government official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion - widely considered to be his masterpiece. In the latter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time. It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare^ A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and, similarly to Shakespeare, his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime. As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of
e ntertainment found its place outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeare’s England, there was hardly any mixing o
f the rich with commoners at theatrical events.
During this time, the way in which play-texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also changed. Initially, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performed. However, from the mid-16th century, kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to become a symbol of Chinese culture.
While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other, they share in common the humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, a lasting popularity — and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
12. Why does the writer refer to Shakespeare throughout this article about Tang?
A. To compare the writing styles of the writers.
B. To emphasize Tang’s importance in literature.
C. To assess the achievements of these two great writers.
D. To examine the different influences of Tang and Shakespeare.
13. What distinguishes The Purple Hairpin from Tang’s other plays?
A. It does not rely heavily on dream scenes.
B. It is widely considered to be his best work.
C. It was the only play to be publicly performed.
D. It challenged the feudal system of ancient China.
14. What characteristic was shared by both English and Chinese theatre during Tang’s lifetime?
A. Music and poetry were present in most performances.
B. The popularity of public theatrical performances grew rapidly.
C. Different social classes often attended the same performances.
D. Most plays were written to be read as novels rather than performed.
15. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
A. Tang’s p lays were superior to his poems.
B. Tang is more widely read than Shakespeare.
C. Tang is the best playwright in Chinese history.
D. Tang and Shakespeare knew of each other s works.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C

文章介绍了汤显祖的作品特点和时代意义。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。

第一句提到：威廉·莎士比亚是世界语言大师和剧作家。

第二句一转折，提到：他并不是唯一一个在1616年去世的戏剧大师，他也肯定不是唯一一个对戏剧产生深远影响的作家。

接着文章就提出汤显祖。

下文中，不断地将莎士比亚和汤显祖对照，以此凸显汤显祖的艺术成就和作用。

故选B。

13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion - widely considered to be his masterpiece. In the latter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences”可知，除去the Purple Hairpin，其余三部戏剧均是通过梦境来讲述的。

只有the Purple Hairpin不是这样。

故选A。

【14题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces”可知，就像在莎士比亚的英国，它在中国非常受欢迎，在不同的城市开设了公共剧院，旅游表演团体也变得普遍起来。

戏剧观众开始聚集在开放的公共场所，剧院作为一种流行的娱乐形式在宫殿之外找到了自己的位置。

B选项（公众戏剧表演迅速普及）表达此意。

故选B。

【15题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China’s greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions”可知，汤显祖被认为是中国最伟大的剧作家，在中国有着悠久的文学和戏剧传统。

故选C。

Up in the air—a history of ballooning
The first kind of air transportation was the balloon. People traveled by balloon one hundred years before there were planes or jet aircraft. Those early days of ballooning were exciting, but they were also risky. ___16___ However, the danger did not stop the balloonists.
The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two French brothers made a balloon. ___17___Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the sky.
___18___They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay up in the air for a few hours. But their balloon was tied to the ground. So it could not go anywhere.
Soon balloonists tried longer flights. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel. They left England on a cold, clear January day. Halfway across, their balloon began to drop toward the water. They threw out some equipment and food to make the balloon lighter. The balloon continued to fall, so they threw out almost everything in the basket -even some of their clothes. ___19___
During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport and balloons were also used by scientists to study the air and by armies in war time. After the airplane was invented, however, interest in balloons decreased dramatically. But some people today still like to go up in balloons. ___20___What’s more, they have a wonderful view of the world below.
A. They filled a very large paper bag with hot air.
B. High up in the balloon basket, they find quiet.
C. Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly and sometimes they burned.
D. Back then, few people understood how they were able to fly so far.
E. Finally, after about three hours, they landed in France, cold but safe.
