第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

A
This year marks the 125th anniversary of his death. Vincent Van Gogh isn't the most famous artist in the world, but his story is certainly the best- known. It is such a sad story. Here was a man who failed, or who didn't care to succeed, but succeeded at one thing that was not very practical at all.
V an Gogh was born to quite a rich family in the Netherlands. His first work was for an art dealer. That work wasn't enjoyable for him, so next he tried teaching in England. Always a religious man, Vincent wanted to be priest, but failed the exams. He eventually found religious work as a missionary(传教士).
Van Gogh found something else to believe in when he lived in a small mining town in
Belgium-art. There, he returned to his childhood love of painting and drawing.
One thing that people, even people who don't find art memorable, remember about Van Gogh's
paintings is the way he used colors. In Wheatfield with Crows (1890) the colors are natural. Corn is yellow, grass is green, and crows(乌鸦) are black. But they are used in such a way that when we
look at the painting, the last thing we see is a photograph. However, the painting that made him famous after his death did little for him when he was alive.
His life had a sad, early ending. He had mental(心理的)problems, which led him to cut off his ear and eventually die by shooting himself. Arguably, it wasn't the art that gave him mental problems. That's cliche(陈词滥调). What made him so sad may have been the difficulty of working as an artist in a practical world.
21. Which of the following is TRUE about Van Gogh?
A. He was born to a rich family in the Netherlands 125 years ago.
B. He was a teacher, a priest and a miner before he became an artist.
C. His paintings didn't bring him much wealth or fame when he was alive.
D. He decided to be an artist when he discovered his love of painting at a young age.
22. What is special about Van Gogh's paintings?
A. The way he used colors.
B. They are as real as photographs.
C. Most of them have a nature theme.
D. They look completely different from impression works.
23. According to the author, what might have caused Van Gogh's mental problems?
A. The art of painting.
B. The loss of one ear.
C. Pressure from his family.
D. Not being accepted or recognized.
B
Once, two phoenix birds flew over a small village in Hunan province. The village was so beautiful that the birds never wanted to leave. This legend was recited to me during my visit to Fenghuang, adding a mythical(神秘的) touch to this ancient town.
Fenghuang is a snapshot of idyllic (田园诗般) village life in rural China. Set alongside the banks of the Tuojiang River. Fenghuang is full of small, winding(蜿蜒的) alleys and surrounded by lush, green hills. Having traveled directly from the bustling(喧嚣的) city of Changsha, Fenghuang was a breath of fresh air.
When I visited Fenghuang, it was July. My friend and I excitedly explored, walking along the ancient city wall and crossing the beautiful, old bridges. Despite the crowds of tourists it seemed as
if life in this corner of China had not changed for centuries. People were very relaxed. They were never bothered by the hot weather nor by the tourists, walking, eating and playing outdoors. On our first evening we bought spicy, cold noodles from a street vendor and ate on the riverbank as we watched the sunset.
We stayed in a small hotel similar to many of the traditional buildings in the village. Our room was built on high stilts(桩子) over the banks of the river. From our window we could hear the rush
of the water and the sounds of excited tourists traveling in small boats downstream. Even in modern times, the river continues to be the life of the village. We saw people busy at work catching fish, or ferrying(摆渡) tourists for sightseeing. Young children played in shallow waters and families washed their clothes and utensils(厨具).
After two days exploring the village, I could empathize with the legend of the phoenix. I was reluctant(不情愿) to leave.
24. The author mentions the legend of the phoenix birds in the first paragraph_ .
A. to show her deep love in Chinese culture
B. to introduce the topic of her trip to the town of Fenghuang
C. to explain how the town of Fenghuang got its name
D. to describe the beautiful scenery of the town of Fenghuang
25. Which of the following aspects of the town of Fenghuang are mentioned in the article?

c. architecture
d. weather and climate
e. food culture
f. living habits
g. festival activities
A. acdeg
B. bcdef
C. cdefg
D. abcde
26. We can infer from the article that the author found her trip to the town of Fenghuang_
A. boring
B. relaxing
C. quite an adventure
D. a waste of time and money
27. The underlined word "empathize " in the last paragraph probably means_
A. understand and share the feelings of someone else
B. strongly disagree with something

C
Almost all of us have been there: A sense of unease(不安) strikes us when we see the battery running low on the smartphone. It can sometimes turn out to be a nightmare (噩梦) as the gadget suddenly gives up in the middle of a conversation or when we are halfway through the route we are navigating(导航)。

While today's smartphones enable us to surf the Internet, take pictures and play music, their limited, sometimes annoyingly short battery life has started to make people nostalgic about early models. "My favorite phone of all time was a sliver Nokia 6310i from the early 2000s. It may be primitive by today's standards, but it could run for 17days on a single charge," wrote Daily Mail columnist David Derbyshire.
But scientists spend no time thinking about the past. They have built an aluminium(铝) battery which "could be cheap, fast- charging alternative to current designs," reported the BBC on April 17. You can flex(弯曲), squeeze, and practically bend it in half without breaking the packet. According to the Daily Mail, it is more environmentally friendly than alkaline (碱性的) batteries-it won't catch fire "even if you drill (钻孔) through it", as Hongjie Dai of Stanford University told The Telegraph. The battery is the work of a team led by Dai. And the best part is that, according to The Telegraph, it has a recharge time of around one minute.
Their findings have been published in the UK journal Nature.
However, at present, the only problem is that it produces just half the voltage(电压) of a typical lithium(锂) battery, the study said. But Dai explained that by improving the cathode(负极) material they could "eventually increase the voltage and energy density". Our battery has everything else you'd dream that a battery should have. I see this as a new battery in its early days," he told The Telegraph.
28. What is the article mainly about?
A. A popular smartphone app.
B. A new trend in the smartphone market.
C. The invention of a new smartphone battery.
D. Tips on how to lengthen smartphone battery.
29. The underlined words " nostalgic about" in Paragraph 2 are closet in meaning to _
A. full of memories of
B. curious about
C. proud of
D. confused by
30. What are the advantages of the aluminium battery according to the article?
a. safer
b. cheaper
c. faster changing
d. more environmentally- friendly
A. a,b,c
B. b,c,d
C. a,c,d
D. a,b,c,d
31.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. The aluminium battery catch fires easily if it is drilled.
B. Compared with alkaline batteries, the aluminium battery is larger in size.
C. The aluminium batter still needs improving before it can be widely used.
D. Scientists find it a real challenge to change the voltage of the aluminium battery.
D
Sleepwalking is very common. In fact, you might be a sleepwalker and not even know it. It's more common with children, usually between 5 and 12 years old. Sleepwalking usually happens
about an hour or so after a kid has gone to bed. He will sit right up, eyes wide open and will even respond if you ask him a question. A sleepwalker can get dressed, turn on lights, wander around the house and open the fridge.
The question that most people want to know is "Should you wake a sleepwalker?" lots of people think it's dangerous to wake someone who's sleepwalking. It's more for your safety than for theirs. Bruce A. Epstein has some advice for anyone who has to deal with a sleepwalker. Bruce says
the sleepwalker should be taken by the elbow(肘) and gently led back to bed. It's usually hard to
wake up a sleepwalker.
The main reason that you shouldn't wake a sleepwalker is because of his reaction to being
woken up. Some of them become really frightened. If that's the case, you shouldn't touch them or
lead them back to bed, according to Dr. Richard Ferber, Director of the Center for Pediatric Sleep.
At Children's Hospital in Boston, some upset sleepwalkers will beat someone violently if they're touched. In extreme cases, people have been seriously injured or even killed because of sleepwalking. So save yourself from some hurts, lock up sharp objects and don't wake a sleepwalker. You can, however, tell them all about it the next day. Don't worry about the point--
they won't remember a thing about their sleepwalking in the morning.
32. If a sleepwalker goes to bed at 22:20, sleepwalking may happen at about
A. 22:20
B. 22:50
C. 23:20
D. 23:50
33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Some sleepwalkers can answer your questions.
B. Lock up sharp objects when someone is sleepwalking.
C. Usually a sleepwalker may be woken up easily.
D. Some sleepwalkers may kill people in extreme cases.
34. You might be a sleepwalker and not even know it because____.
A. you may forget the thing about your sleepwalking in the morning
B. someone else doesn't wake up when you are sleepwalking
C. you sleepwalk in the evening and nobody knows that
D. someone else leads you back to bed before you wake up
35. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Bruce's advice on how to deal with a sleepwalker.
B. What a sleepwalker may do when he is sleepwalking.
C. Why people shouldn't wake a sleepwalker up.
D. Why people sleepwalk in the evening.
