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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Lita Cabellut is one of Spains most successful artists. Her paintings now sell for more than $100,000, but she spent her early years living on the streets.
Cabellut was born in 1961. While she was a baby, she was left with her grandmother by her parents. In fact, she spent most of her time out with other homeless children on the streets.
She didnt go to school and it never crossed her mind that one day she would become an artist. So what changed Cabelluts life so greatly?
Cabelluts grandmother died when she was about 10 years old. And she lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) before being adopted by a family at the age of 12. They took her to museums and introduced her to art. One painting by Goya, a famous Spanish painter, made a deep impression on her. She even tried to copy one of Goyas other paintings. The result was not very good, but her adopted family encouraged her to keep painting.
And for the first time in her life, she also started going to school. She says, “Its hard to start learning to read and write when you are 13. I had a lot of private classes at home because I had to learn everything.” She slowly made progress at school and started to listen to the radio program “Voice of Art”. After graduating from university, she kept painting.
Today, Cabellut is best known for her portraits (肖像畫), which include not only paintings of famous people such as Charlie Chaplin, but also some ordinary people who might consider ugly.
“I dont see ugly people,” says Cabellut. “I paint different people. I paint people in whom you need to find the real beauty behind the skin.”
She always says, “People are not buying just paintings—its the magic and emotion that is the spirit of art.”
21. What can we learn about Cabellut from the text?
A. She isnt a successful artist. B. She is more than fifty years old now.
C. She dreamed of being an artist as a little girl. D. She was sent to an orphanage after her birth.
22. What happened when Cabellut was about 10 years old?
A. Her talent for painting was first found. B. She went to school for the first time.
C. Her grandmother passed away. D. She was adopted by a family.
23. What do Cabelluts paintings mainly focus on?
A. People who are usually considered ugly. B. The real beauty behind every person.
C. The appearance of different people. D. Famous people in different times.
B
True friends double your happiness and halve your burdens. Basically how you would like a true friend to be is what you should be like to your true friends. Trust, forgiveness, and responsibility are some elements of a true friendship. True friendships are hard to achieve. And whats more, life is short. So treasure (珍惜) these friends if you already have them. If you dont continue to search, because once you have them, life will become so much easier to live, no matter what happens. I have been through very difficult times and I dare say, without my friends, I would not have made it.
Friendships need lots of energy and patience to maintain (維持) them. Not to mention time. When your friend needs you, and when things are not going too well on your side, it is often so easy to turn a deaf ear to their requests. It is especially during these times that you must find the strength to help your friend. And it is during these times that your friendship will be made stronger.
And you must always be happy for their successes, even when things are not going too well for you. It might be hard to do this, but it is something that you need to learn. Think about all the sacrifices (牺牲) your friend has made for you and all the times when he was happy for you despite his own troubles. Think about all the happy times you enjoyed and the sad, difficult times you went through together. That should give you plenty of patience to actually be a true friend. Remember, true friends are the next best thing to family. They will always be your supporters.
24. Why are true friendships hard to achieve?
A. You should be always on your friends side. B. You have to give more help to your friends.
C. They come at difficult times. D. They need lots of energy and patience.
25. What does the underlined phrase “turn a deaf ear to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Have a deaf ear for. B. Have no meaning to.
C. Take no measures against. D. Pretend not to know.
26. What can we conclude from Paragraph 3?
A. A true friend appears when you have troubles.
B. A friend wont achieve success without your support.
C. You should share happiness with your friends when they succeed.
D. Most people in trouble are not happy about their friends success.
27. What is the best title of this passage?
A. A Precious Friendship B. To Be a Friend
C. A True Friend D. Friendship, a Success
C
Four decades ago a group of college students visited the mountains of Borneo to examine moth (蛾) populations. Now a team of British scientists, including a member of the original trip, has returned to the same sites to repeat the survey. They have found that, due to rising temperatures, the insects now live 75 meters higher.
Global warming is forcing tropical (熱带的) species uphill to escape the rising temperatures at a rate of nearly 2 meters a year, the new study from Borneo suggests.
Since this was the only chance to repeat the original survey, the scientists did everything they could to do it exactly the same way, going at the same time of year, in July and August, using photographs to find the exact original sites of the moth traps.
“While this is the first study of insects, a few other studies of tropical species are starting to appear,” said Thomas. “If you look across all those studies, youll find the same results, and its extremely difficult to think of any other explanation for them.”
While some species might survive by finding places on the mountains with temperatures similar to those of their original habitats, others may run out of habitat on the rocky peaks, warns the study.
In a paper in the journal Nature in 2014, Thomas and 13 other experts analyzed the habitats of 1,100 species on five continents, and estimated that on average one quarter were at risk of extinction (灭绝).
In 2016, a paper published in the Public Library of Science in the US warned that the risk of extinction in the tropics was becoming more and more serious. The authors, Jana and Steven Vamosi, estimated that 20—45% of tropical species were at risk of extinction.
28. If the temperature continues to rise at the same rate for ten years, the insects will live about ____.
A. 7.5 meters higher B. 18 meters higher
C. 37 meters higher D. 75 meters higher
29. Whats the problem for some species moving up mountains?
A. Therell be too little space. B. The temperature will be much too low for them.
C. Theyll be at risk of extinction for lack of food. D. Theyll find it hard to adapt to the environment.
30. What can we learn about the scientists from the passage?
A. They tried to repeat the original survey.
B. Theyve carried out the survey many times.
C. Some of them have put forward other explanations for the results.
D. They estimated that 20—45% of tropical species were at risk of extinction.
31. What has been mainly discussed in the passage?
A. How to research tropical moths. B. Protecting moths from extinction.
C. Climate change forcing moths uphill. D. How to study moths living on mountains.
D
Today, I felt terrible. My head was full of problems, burdens and confusion. I decided to take a walk even though I didnt know where I would go.
The most extraordinary thing happened when I was on this walk.
I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. I thought he looked at least seventy years old. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes. I wanted to give him something but I hadnt brought anything with me.
Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, “Sir, may I polish your shoes?” That old man took pity on her and he gave her a shoe to polish.
“I polish shoes because I need money to buy my little brother a new school uniform,” said the girl.
I heard this and tears came to my eyes. The old man answered, “Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me.” Then they walked to a market and I followed them behind. There he bought her a school uniform.
The girl said, “Thank you so much. May God bless you.” Then she left, leaving the old man smiling there. I was moved and stopped him, whispering in his ear, “You are a hero. Thank you for your kindness.”
At this moment, my own sadness disappeared and was chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope, some day, I can show my appreciation of what I have by following the example of the old man who only had a little, and shared it beautifully with someone who had nothing.
32. The author decided to take a walk in order to ____ .
A. kill time B. have fun
C. adjust his mood D. get rid of tiredness
33. When he first saw the old man, the author was full of ____ .
A. sorrow B. regret C. surprise D. sympathy
34. Why did the girl offer to polish shoes for the old man?
A. She took great pity on him. B. She wanted to take care of him.
C. She meant to be friendly to him. D. She expected to get help from him.
35. The underlined part “was chased away” most probably means “____”.
A. was sent out B. was made clear
C. was got rid of D. was showed around

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
36 Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing (抑制) anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases (释放) the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. 37
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger. Then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. 40
A. Anger may cause you a cancer.
B. Do not express your anger while angry.
C. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
D. They say that laughter is much healthier than anger.
E. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.
G. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.
