Ⅰ.阅读理解
An American photographer is making copies of great artwork available for blind people and those with very poor eyesight. At least 285 million people worldwide are either blind or considered visually impaired (有缺陷的). They are unable to see or enjoy visual fine art.
Romeo Edmead lost his eyesight when he was only two years old. But that has not stopped him from living life to the fullest. He went to college and studied journalism. He now lives in New York. He depends heavily on his other senses. But he cannot experience the great works of art in New York. He remembers a visit to an art collection with his grandmother. “We went to this museum and I just wandered off somewhere and I started touching something, and all of a sudden alarm went off. And a guard came running over, and my grandmother was ashamed.〞 Romeo is now able to use his fingers to feel art paintings. He can get an idea of the appearance by
following the markings.
John Olson once worked as a photographer for LIFE magazine. He developed a printing process to make the art of Da Vinci and Van Gogh touchable for visually­impaired people. “I began to realize how important images have been to me, and what they have allowed me to do. And it caused me to wonder what it was for the blind, not having access to images.〞 Olson's company is called 3D Photoworks. It produces copies of artwork in three dimensions—height, width and depth. The whole process can take up to four weeks.
Thanks to new technology, 3D art may soon hang in art museums all over the world. It gives the visually­impaired the chance to experience the beauty of visual art.
1．What motivated John Olson to make 3D art for blind people?
A．The benefit of his company.
B．Romeo Edmead's sufferings.
C．His appreciation to blind people.
D．The importance of images to people.
2．What does the word “dimension〞 mean?
A．A period of time.
B．The size of a situation.
C．A measurement in space.
D．The way of doing things.
3．How will John Olson's work influence the life of blind people?
A．They are able to live their life to the fullest.
B．They can have the chance to feel the beauty of visual art.
C．They don't need to depend heavily on their other senses.
D．They have free access to museums without any difficulty.
4．What can we learn from the passage?
A．It takes a month or so to produce a 3D artwork.
B．3D art is produced based on height and depth.
C．3D art is displayed in art museums all over the world.
D．John Olson is rich for what he has done for the blind.
Ⅱ.七选五
Everyone dreams. If you've ever tried to figure out the meaning of a strange dream, you're not alone. Humans have been trying to make sense of dreams since recorded history. __1__ Here are some of the findings.
__2__ People with great creativity are more likely to dream about unusual settings and blocks in the natural world, such as a log or a rock they can't get around.

If you have those problems, it's more difficult for you to breathe at night. __3__ You're avoiding something. Do you dream about being followed by a stranger, a monster, or a giant tidal wave?

第二节读后续写
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进展续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

A few years ago I worked in an_international_company that sold computer devices.
I had to travel a lot over_the_country as a part of my work. I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make_more_money.
On one of my trips, I came to the_airport to take a bus to downtown, as usual. It was the same routine: get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly back...That_day,_for some reasons, I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there, enjoying the scenery. Finally the_bus came.
Usually I always took the seat behind the driver. That day I sat down somewhere in the middle. A boy was seated next to me, carrying a lot of suitcases. Suddenly, he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. Warmly, he said, “Hi, the_perfect_day in the perfect place, huh？〞
I remember thinking to myself—this must be one of those typical people who is young and naive and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy. Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride? But out of politeness, I replied, “Perfect! Did your parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach？〞“No, I'm not here for vacation, and I don't have parents, 〞 he shoo k his head, “I'm here because I want to achieve my_biggest_dream. I'm on the way to the_army_school where my grandfather studied a long time ago.〞

Ⅳ.写作
第一节
参考范文：
DearTom，
Itisnicetoreceiveyoure­mail.
NowI'dliketotellyousomethingaboutthePalaceMuseum.
The PalaceMuseum, also referred to as the Forbidden City, is a fascinating tourist attraction.
It took nearly 14 years to build and was completed in 1420. As the largest museum in China, the PalaceMuseum holds precious treasures from the past thousands of years of Chinese history. It's not surprising that its temples and palaces amount to 9,999 because nine is traditionally considered as a lucky number by Chinese people.
I do hope you can come to China and take a look at this museum with your own eyes. I'm sure you are more than likely to be attracted.
Best wishes.
Yours，
LiHua
