AMary Cassatt is considered one of America’s most famous female artists．She was born in Pennsylvania in 1844．When she was a child，Mary and her family spent five years travelling and living in Europe．Mary saw the great art museums，and she wanted to become an artist．When she was seventeen，she said that she wanted to go to Paris to study art．At that time people thought that only men could become painters．It was not considered proper work for a woman Her father refused to let her study art．Finally he said she could study it if she went to a school near their home．She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts．At her graduation(毕业)in 1866，she again said that she had to go abroad to learn more about painting．Her lather agreed to let her go．At 22 she sailed for Paris．She lived in France，but she went to other countries in Europe．She spent a lot of time in museums．She worked hard to improve her work．She studied the famous paintings of the old masters，and she copied and sketched(画素描)for hours．She found，though，that she g referred the new ideas used by a group of artists living in Paris．They called themselves impressionists(印象派画家)．Like them Mary Cassatt tried to show real 1people and the real world．Because these ideas were new，it took some years before people recognized(承认)her as the great artist that she was．26．Mary Cassatt went to art school Dear home because________．A．she did not have enough money to go awayB．she was frightened about leaving homeC．her father would not let her leave homeD．it was the best school27．Mary Cassatt showed that she was serious about becoming an artist by________．A．spending long hours paintingB．taking many trips to EuropeC．reading many art booksD．talking to older artists28．From this passage we can learn that in the 1800s_________．A．all careers were open to womenB．some careers were not open to womenC．all women wanted to stay at home and have childrenD．male artists welcomed female artists29．We learn from the passage that Mary Cassatt became a great artist because she_________．A．came from a rich familyB．worked hard and never gave upC．had good teachersD．travelled in EuropeBThe continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture，and this is shown in traditional dress．Y ou often find three colours—red，gold and green—in the clothing．The first colour stands for(象征)the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隶)；the second is for the rich resources(资源)of the African earth；and the third represents the grasslands of home．Because clothing has a strong social meaning，people are very careful in choosing what to wear．It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing，or to wear clothes in the wrong way，For example，in Ghana．a woman should wear her waistband(腰带)differently according to the importance of the social event．Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life．African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing．Tile climate，with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges(变化)，requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life．Although many people wear Western clothes，particularly in the big cities in Africa，traditional African dress is very highly valued．This is because it has deep cultural meanings．30．The passage is mainly about_________．A．the history of clothes in AfricaB．modern fashion styles in AfricaC．the meanings of traditional dress in AfricaD．the materials used in traditional dress in Africa31．According to the passage，red_________．A．represents the setting sunB．stands for the African earthC．is chosen because it is a bright colourD．is a reminder of the sad history in Africa32．Traditional dress should also be practical because_________．A．it needs to keep people dry in the rainy seasonB．it needs to protect people from the climateC．people wear it in the big citiesD．it has deep cultural meaningsCThe first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle，Washington，in the United States．It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans．The coffee shop’s business did well，and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle．Things really began to change for the company in 1981．That year，Howard Schultz met the three men who ran(经营)Starbucks．Schultz worked in New Y ork for a company that made kitchen equipment．He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers．and he was curious about the company．Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did，and he liked what he saw．He wanted to become part of the company．In 1982，the original(原先的)Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company’s head of marketing．In 1983，Schultz travelled to Italy．The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye．To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places：home，work，and coffee bars．His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle．Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable，and customers everywhere seemed to like it．Between 1987 and 1992，Starbucks opened 150 new stores—and that was only the beginning．In fact，by the year 2000，three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!Today，Starbucks has thousands of stores，including stores in twenty-six countries．One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants．By working together with a store already in the city，Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city．This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers．33．What is the main idea of this passage?A．How Starbucks has grownB．What Starbucks makes．C．Starbucks’customers．D．How Starbucks makes its coffee．34．Which is true about Starbucks’first ten years of business?A．It grew very quickly．B．It was run by Howard Schultz．C．It made special coffee makers．D．It was a small company．35．Who is Howard Schultz?A．A coffee seller in New Y ork．B．An Italian coffee makerC．The man who changed the company．D．One of the original owners of the company．36．What helps Starbucks succeed in places outside the United States?A．Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year．B．Only selling locally produced coffee beans．C．working with other major coffee-making companies．D．Learning about local customers．DWhen we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all be can，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．If you look at children，you’ll see great difference between what we call“bright”children and“non-bright”children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him．But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．37．According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to__________．A．get some high scores on some testsB．do well in schoolC．deal with lifeD．have a lot of book knowledge38．In a new situation，an intelligent person________．A．knows more about what might happen to himB．is sure of the result he will getC．cares more about himselfD．keeps his mind on what to do about the situation39．If an intelligent person failed，he would_______．A．try not to feel ashamedB．learn from his mistakesC．try to find all he couldD．make sure what result he would get40．Bright children and non-bright children________．A．are two different types of childrenB．are different mainly in their degree of clevernessC．have difference only in their way of thinkingD．have different knowledge about the world三、单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。
