On an education websiteBVincent Van Gogh was the son of a pastor (牧师) in Holland. Around his early twenties he decided to become an artist. He felt that color was his main influence and he used it to express himself. The way he painted was very unusual during the late 1800s because he paid much attention to colorful abstract art. Van Gogh had many paintings that have changed the way we look at art. His paintings weren’t popular during his lifetime because of an illness that was possibly a mental disorder. However, they are now considered to be the most popular forms of art in the world today. In what ways can we appreciate his paintings?Learn about the artistic style of expressionism. In Van Gogh’s artwork, the style that he used was expressionism, which was the only one of this kind compared to other paintings.Look for key symbols that would help you understand his artwork better such as the background of the objects.Try to understand the artist’s aims. You can do this by watching the use of colors, perspectives, and the subject. Knowing the artist’s aims, you will be able to understand why he created the work.Take what you have learned from the artwork and put it in your feelings to see how it affects you and is related to you. This will allow you to make a connection with the artist.24.

Will there ever be another Einstein?Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival (对手) , Isaac Newton. Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is only a baby now. That’s because the searching for a unified(统一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon. For one thing, physics is quite a different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians. Education is different, too. One extremely important aspect of Einstein’s training that failed to be considered is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time.And he was a skilled musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon V alley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.Besides, those who stay in science don’t work alone. It’s very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this.28. Which of the following best explains the reason that the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet?A. Education today doesn’t pay enough attention to philosophy teaching.B. We don’t know who will be another Einstei n among newly-born babies.C. There were more physicists in Einstein’s time than today.D. Math today is limited and cannot help the further development of physics.29. One of the reasons that made Einstein a great scientist is _________.A. the philosophy he read in his teensB. the lack of physicists in his dayC. the knowledge learnt from Isaac NewtonD. his decision of not working at Wall Street30. The underlined word “knotty” here probably means________.A. interesting and usefulB. important and meaningfulC. difficult and puzzlingD. realistic and hard31. From Paragraphs 3 and 4, how many reasons does the writer give to explain that anotherEinstein hasn’t appeared?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.DThe latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful, and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. The researche rs believe it proves that people don’t want to look in the mirror when they feel they are following the social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers the taste of unhealthy food.However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.32. Researchers are amazed to find that ______.A. paper plates make food look nicerB. people using a fork will eat moreC. mirrors can help people lose weightD. people will eat more in front of a mirror33. What can be inferred from the study?A. Some teenagers got involved in it.B. People were required to eat with a spoon.C. People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad.D. The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.34. According to Dr. Ata Jami, the mirror ______.A. makes people judge others correctlyB. makes people well judge themselvesC. is a necessary part of people’s daily lifeD. can only show the appearance of a person35. How does the mirror affect the taste of junk food?A. By making people hungry.B. By showing the social standards.C. By attracting people to healthy food.D. By causing a feeling of discomfort.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
