Like other paintings by Vermeer, this image represents modern culture.So attracted are today’s art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans can’t name who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring. Well, maybe they don’t go to the movies much.It is not true to say he was forgotten—that would suggest he was famous in his lifetime. He was not. Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. He was not a star like Rembrandt. He obviously took himself and his art seriously. His selfreferential painting The Art of Painting proves that. Even though he worked all his life inDelft, he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43.It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer, because it was the French avant’s A Bar at the FoliesBergère(1882)or Camille Pissarro’s The Boulevard Montmartre at Night (1897) and it is easy to see why theart of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian Bohemia.All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic ThoréBürger, a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.Vermeer’s rediscovery is part of the history of modern French art. Vermeer is not only a great artist. He is a great modern artist.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了著名画家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的艺术特点.1.How many paintings produced by Vermeer are mentioned in the text?A.Four.

Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解I'm sometimes told,“You have to make your own luck.If you don't try something,how can you succeed?”This is very true for competitions.There are people who regularly take part in all sorts of competitions with great enthusiasm.These people are nicknamed compers.The motivation for being a comper is obvious:it's about being a winner and being rewarded with a prize.These prizes can be small or large:from a box of chocolates to a new car,a trip of a lifetime around the world,or even a new house.Isn't that worth competing for?Of course competitions that offer money prizes attract entry from millions of people,making the odds of winning very unlikely.But one man who has been lucky is a retired lecturer from the UK called Martin Dove.He is a serial comper and has managed to bag prizes such as a yacht and a racehorse.Martin says:“I've been a comper for 40 years.It's like admitting some addiction,isn't it?”He gets respect from other compers and also admits,“Some people ha ve called me the Master of Comping,the King of Comping,the Guru of Comping.But it's just a word,just a phrase.It's just because I frequently appeared in the media.”For many,winning remains a dream,but they continue to try their luck as there's always a small chance that they might succeed.But what if you do win? Then you have to ask:how am I going to spend all that money? Some people say that “money can't buy you happiness”.What do you think?1.What does the author mean by“This is very true for competitions”?A.Competitions bring people luck.B.One must be in a competition to win it.C.Trying gets people to succeed.D.People naturally compete with each other.2.Who are compers?A.Those always standing out in competitions.B.Those addicted to entering competitions.C.Those often entering competitions for prizes.D.Those competing for others' recognition.3.What does the underlined word“odds”probably mean?A.Possibility.

Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解。
Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future. It's a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood, satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life. It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy, education, experiences, and residence, as well as many other topics.Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in, a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals. As a matter of fact, in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life. Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals. People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future; additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.The psychologist, Yuval Palgi, studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties. This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present, but they thought lower of their future. A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence. The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become wiser and more knowledgeable, so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more. But when they step into their nineties, future becomes a luxury to them.According to Seligman, the happier people are, the less they are focused on the negative. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment, which then correlates to a higher level of the persons' satisfaction with their life.1.What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?A. It can be easily measured through income and education.B. It includes a positive attitude towards people's entire life.C. It merely determines people's attitude towards the future.D. It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.2.What emotions have a positive effect on life satisfaction?A. Motivation and dream.B. Hope and depression.C. Optimism and pessimism.D. Hope and optimism.3.What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?A. They were less hopeful about it.B. They thought highly of it.C. They felt satisfied with it.D. They were scared of it.4.What may be the best title for the text?A. Old People Have Much More Life SatisfactionB. Life Satisfaction—the Key to a Happier LifeC. Optimism Ensures Life SatisfactionD. Emotions Affect Life Satisfaction【文章大意】本文为议论文。

Those who claim bananas are fattening argue that bananas cause the body to make lots of insulin(胰岛素),and insulin causes fat growth.How much insulin we produce is related to how fast food becomes sugar in our bloodstream.How can you know if food makes a lot of sugar quickly? The glycemic index(血糖指数),or GI rating tells us.Foods with GI scores above 75 are considered highGI foods,leading to faster sugar development.Bananas have a GI of 62,which is considered low.Weight loss can be a struggle for anyone,but it is especially hard for diabetics(糖尿病患者).A study looked at how the starch from unripe bananas affected the weight of a group of obese diabetics.After four weeks of a diet high in bananas,diabetics lost significantly more weight than on a control diet.They also saw improvements in insulin sensitivity from the banana diet.What's more,bananas have been shown to cut risks of strokes,diabetes and cancers(Bananas are the most powerful fruit for lowering the risk of kidney cancer.).Bananas are also a rich source of fiber,which has been shown to help weight loss.Bananas that still have some green on the skin are even higher in fiber.Skins from green bananas can be taken and,after removing the stem and dark tip,cut into small pieces 23 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.These pieces can be made into a tea or added to a dish.When you eat the skins,be sure you are eating organic bananas.The flesh of regular bananas is low in pesticides,but the skins are not.1.What conclusion can we draw from Paragraphs 1&2?A.Bananas are likely to make people fat.B.Insulin determines the amount of sugar.C.LowGI foods can turn into sugar more slowly.D.The faster the food becomes sugar,the less insulin.2.What does the author say about bananas?A.Including bananas in diets is good for health.B.Bananas can cure people suffering kidney cancer.C.Eating organic bananas protect people from strokes.D.Bananas' abundant fiber improves insulin sensitivity.3.What is discussed in the last paragraph?A.The use of banana skins.B.The benefits of banana skins.C.The importance of banana skins.D.The ways of choosing organic bananas.4.In which section of a newspaper can we read this passage?A.Education. B.Health.C.Culture. D.Science.【解题导语】本文反驳了“吃香蕉会使人发胖”这一错误观点,告诉大家香蕉不会使身体分泌很多胰岛素而导致脂肪增加,相反,香蕉对身体健康有着诸多好处。

Unit 1 Festivals around the worldⅠ阅读理解A(2019·昆明高三适应性检测)Back home from the Navy,I started school at Greenville College in my hometown of Illinois. I’d been out of high school for four years,but my high school headmaster,Mr.Gardner,invited me to a Valentine’s Day dance party at school. The thought of seeing my former teachers was exciting. So I agreed.When Friday came, I cleaned up,dressed up and drove to the high school gym.I chatted with my teachers and approached Mr. Gardner to thank him before leaving. Just then, the band started playing and a young girl stood up to sing. One look at her and I was crazy—I had never seen such a beautiful girl!I asked Mr. Gardner who she was,and he answered,“That’s Marilyn Riley,Cut Riley’s daughter.”I was shocked to say the least. They lived just around the corner from me. I walked across the gym floor to introduce myself,“Hi,I’m Jack Joseph.”“I know who you are,”was her nottoofriendly response.“Would you like to dance?” I asked. “No!I’m working,” she shot back.“Can I call you next week for a movie date?” I asked. “No” was her response.For the next month I phoned,trying to set up a date. She always had the same answer:No. Then one rainy afternoon in March as I was driving home after basketball practice,I saw Marilyn, walking with no umbrella,no raincoat and no hat. I pulled alongside her and asked if she needed a ride,half expecting her to say no. Instead,she stepped over the roadside and sat down on the seat next to me. It was only a few blocks to her house,but after pulling into her driveway we talked for 45 minutes. It was magic from then on.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Physician assistants are medical professionals who provide diagnostic and preventative health care services under the guidance of doctors.“Both an aging population and health care reform are contributing to a higher demand for health care services,” says Katie Bardaro, Payscale's lead economist.They don't earn as much as doctors, but their mid-career average pay is 97,000. Another advantage of a physician assistant degree: Employment opportunities are expected to grow 30% by 2020 (from the 2010 employment numbers), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.By our count, computer science follows close behind as the No. 2 best advanced degree for jobs. Mid-career average pay for these grads is 109,000, sixth best out of the 35 degrees in our survey. Employment opportunities for computer science degree-holders are expected to expand about 22% between 2010 and 2020. Electrical engineering, physics and economics degrees also make the top 10, all with an average mid-career salary of more than 110,000 a year.Not all master's degree holders enjoy anywhere near such optimistic job prospects(前景) or extraordinary pay. Biology, chemistry and history degrees are toward the bottom of the list—but that doesn't mean they're useless. If you're enthusiastic about these fields, the lower pay and slimmer job prospects shouldn't prevent you from pursuing a master's.Before you make a decision, you should bear one thing in mind: master's degree-holders don't necessarily earn more than other people in similar jobs—so don't base your decision to pursue one o n the idea that you'll bring in bigger paychecks.It's also important to think about work-life balance and employee satisfaction for the common jobs associated with these degrees. “You need to consider overall happiness,” Bardaro says. “If obtaining a master's degree causes an imbalance due to time devoted to education and potentially more stress at work, then one will need to decide if these costs are worth it.”5.Forbes turned to to .A.let users compare their salaries with those of other people in different jobsB.see how fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020C.sum up the pay of those graduates with 35 popular degrees in different fieldsD.figure out the mid-career average pay in popular jobs held by people with different degree6.Physician assistant degree ranks first on the list because .A.Physician assistants are medical professionalsB.Physician assistants enjoy the highest pay compared with other gradsC.The qualifications of physician assistants are not second to those of doctorsD.The demand of physician assistants is expected to expand largely and they are well-paid7.What can be inferred from the passage?A.100,000 is a satisfying pay for most of the grads.B.It is the first time that Forbes has done a survey of this kind.C.Biology degrees were once hot for those master's degree pursuers.D.Doctors earn more than those in electrical engineering on the average.8.According to what Bardaro said in the last paragraph, we may safely conclude that .A.obtaining a master's degree is a mustB.a master's degree is not always worth pursuingC.obtaining a master's degree leads to an imbalance between work and lifeD.those with master's degrees are bound to earn more than other people in similar jobsⅡ.语法填空With the 1 (develop) of industry, air pollution is getting more and more serious. In Beijing, many people suffer different kinds of illnesses because 2 air pollution.Air pollution is caused by the following 3 : about half of the problem is caused by vehicles. There are more and more cars, buses on the roads, and they give off 4 (poison) gases. 25% of air pollution is caused by factories. Another factor is the smokers.

Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usuall y very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.1.Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?A. Teenagers.B. Adults.C. The elderly.D.A couple.2.What does the sentence “No man is an island” really mean?A. No man is willing to live on an island.B. Man usually doesn’t go to an islandC. Everyone is related with our society.D. Our society is just like an island.3.What can we learn about outgoing people?A. They like being alone.B. They are fond of making friends.C. They have intense friendships.D. They have fewer close friends indeed4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The formation of close friends.B. The number of real friends.C. Honesty, love and affection.D. Factors to determine the degree of closeness.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。

必修3 Unit 1 Festivals around the world李仕才一、阅读理解AAfter the earthquake had stopped, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman's house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshipping(礼拜); her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman's body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruined house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his hand through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,“A child! There is a child!”The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3monthold little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother's dead body. Obviously, the woman had made a sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.The medical doctor came quickly to examine the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone.There was a text message on the screen. It said, “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passed around from one hand to another.

BWhen I recently revealed to my friends, colleagues, and family members that I would be moving my family to Israel, the reactions were numerous and varied. Some people said it was an expected thing while others asked: Why now? What will you do?For me, making the move to Israel is the fulfillment of a dream that has lasted for my 47 years of life. I have always known that Israel is my home. Over the years Israel has been in my heart, but I have found a number of reasons to put off making it my permanent residence: kids, the economy, education...you name an excuse, and at some point I have probably used it.Truthfully, I believe that I was always just a little bit scared. And of course I still am, with the fear factor that is reported by the press surrounding the Israeli military and economy. However, it has come to the point when I have realized that for over 2 000 years we yearned for this land, and for 47 years I have denied the opportunity to make it my home. I am finally ready to fully grasp this opportunity.Over the years, I have always loved visiting Israel. I have traveled there with my family, and enjoyed introducing thousands of travelers to the country. All of these things that I have come to love about Israel as a tourist are because I get to love my home. And as far as waiting for the "perfect" condition under which to make aliyah, I believe the time is now!I have been asked many times if I am nervous about moving to Israel. Before I answer, I remember that we have overcome the Greeks, the Romans, the Russian killings, Hitler and the Holocaust(大屠杀), and the armies of seven countries.How can I not feel confident that I, and my family, will overcome any difficulties that may come our way? I am not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing as I prepare to make aliyah. I am proud and excited to say that I am fulfilling a 47-year-old dream;I am going home.1.What does the author want to say in the passage?A. His dream is to come true after 47 years.B. It is a dilemma for him to return to Israel.C. He didn’t live a happy life in Israel.D. It is a latest trend to fulfill everyone’s dream.2.The author didn’t return to Israel before because .A. his children mainly held him backB. he failed to get determinedC. he didn’t save enough moneyD. he hoped to finish his education3.What does the underlined part "make aliyah" mean in the passage?A. To return to Israel.B. To make a decision.C. To live happily.D. To catch a chance.4.It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the author will be happy to meet his relatives in IsraelB. Israel is a familiar word but a strange place for the authorC. the Israeli suffered a lot in the historyD. Israel is still a place between war and chaos【文章大意】本文是一篇讲述个人经历的记叙文。
