Here we’ve rounded up 4 of his best paintings before the show,Potato EatersPotato Eaters was Van Gogh’s first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life, so the farmers are panted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands. He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting.IrisesVan Gogh finished almost 142 pieces during his stay in the Saint Remy de Provence asylum(精神病院)where he was a voluntary patient from 1889 to 1890. This piece was started shortly after he arrived there. The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay there. Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment(色素)faded over time and has now turned blue.Cafe Terrace at NightDespite being painted more than 130 years ago, this cafe still exists in France and has since been renamed the Cafe V an Gogh. This artwork marks the first time Van Gogh’s famous post-impressionistic star-filled sky was seen in a piece, and it was painted on the ground, in person, rather than from memory. While the artwork doesn’t bear his signature, it’s widely known to be Van Gogh’s, as he mentioned Café Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.Wheat Field With CypressesThis piece was inspired by the view from Van Gogh’s asylum window and was finished on the spot. The work was the title of three paintings that offer an insight into his stay at the hospital. Van Gogh was so pleased with the summer landscape that he made three copies there, one of the same size-which hangs in the National Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.4.Which painting did Vincent van Gogh take most pride in?A.Irises.B.Potato Eaters.C.Cafe Terrace at Night D.Wheat Field With Cypresses.5.What is the original color of the flowers in Irises?A.Purple.B.Blue.C.Red.D.Yellow.6.What do the last two paintings have in common?A.They were the same in theme.B.They had more than two copies.C.They were sold by the artist.D.They were painted on the ground.(2022秋·浙江·高三天台中学校联考一模)From Antarctica to Alaska, our expedition cruises—operated through our alliance with Lindblad Expeditions—bring you to some of the most remote and unspoiled places on the planet.A Circumnavigation of IcelandAlaska Inside PassageEaster Island to TahitiPrices vary with departures.Click here to reserve or call 1-888-966-8687. 7.Which destination is suitable for a birdwatcher who is fond of diving ?

Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.Nymph of the Luo River—Gu KaizhiThe legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou FangDuring the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang ZeduanZhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang XimengNot only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old.

For example: “T asked her if I could take her car.” “I asked her whether I could take her car.” “She asked me if I spoke French.” “She asked me whether I spoke French.” “She asked if I liked it.” “She asked whether I liked it.” However, there are many other cases when it is only possible to use “whether”. Let’s see a few examples.“Whether”We use “whether” (and an infinitive with “to”) after the verbs “know” “ask” and “wonder” when there are two or more alternatives or options. For example: “I don’t know whether to go to the cinema or whether to go to the theatre.” It isn’t always necessary to mention the second “whether”. So, we could say the previous sentence like this: “I don’t know whether to go to the cinema or(whether) to go to the theatre.” You can also use “or not” instead of mentioning the other option: “I don’t know whether to go to the cinema or not.” We always use “whether” if there is a preposition: “We were thinking about whether we should go early or late.” And we often use “whether” when it is followed by an infinitive with “to”: “I was wondering whether to tell you or Steve.”“If”It is NOT possible to use “if” when there are two alternative options, particularly with expressions like “I’m not sure”, “I don’t know” and “wonder” plus an infinitive with “to”. For example: “I’m not sure whether to go to France or Italy.” It is NOT possible to say, “I’m not sure if...“I don’t know whether to tell Michael or Sam.” It is NOT possible to say, “I don’t know if...“I’ve been wondering whether to go by train or plane.” It is NOT possible to say, “I’ve been wondering if... 22.The text is mainly intended for students with ________ problems.A.reading B.grammar C.writing D.listening23.Which of the following is acceptable according to the text?A.I wonder if he is a fan of pop music or not.B.I’m not sure if Sarah will lecture now or later.C.I don’t know yet if I’ll make it to Henry’s party.D.I often get asked about if you can ride if you are overweight.24.How does the writer explain the usage of “whether” and “if”?A.By giving definitions.B.By giving examples.C.By making quotations.D.By analyzing cause and effect.(2022秋·浙江·高三校联考一模)If you are ready to take your water adventures, the touring kayak (皮艇) may be for you.

专题01 阅读填空(第01期)-2022届江苏高考名校英语好题速递分项汇编七选五【江苏省镇江市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Former Harvard President Drew Faust recently wrote of students overlooking the benefit of following their interest in art or linguistics. The trend towards employable subjects lie math and science is reflected in decisions of college students as well as primary and secondary schools.36.Groundbreaking work of cognitive neuroscientists reveals what we think of as"extras"are central to strengthening our minds.Take music as an example. A study shows that musical training, particularly instrumental training, produces long lasting changes in motor abilities and brain structure. The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres(半球)of the brain.37.What is found in musicians is also common among world-class athletes and top-level managers. Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children?38.Science backs that up.Children who play an instrument 30 minutes a week over the course of a little over a year have more highly developed brains.39.Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. The cortex(大脑皮层),which has the greatest changes when a second language is learned during childhood,influences thought and consciousness.How about physical education? Apart from the humanities(人文学科),new research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.40.Concentration, evolved communication skills, and being a good team player are just a few of the benefits research shows extra-curriculums have on a developing mind. To me, that list reads as one I might put together for a model employee.A.The same is true for a foreign language.B.There are sound reasons for the concern.C.Foreign language learning should be given top priority to.D.There is no doubt that instrumental training should be on the to-do list.E. These changes thus affect the ability to listen and communicate as an adult.F. Perhaps, but they all owe current suces,in part, to the training in that aspect.G. Yet 20 percent of U.S.schools put an end to it in favor of increased classroom time.七选五【江苏省盐城市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】“We work four-day weeks because it makes our staff more motivated,” says Joe Munns, CEO and founder of Bakedin, which makes home baking kits and cake mixes.Joe has put his 40 workers on a four-day week since he started the firm in 2013, when he was working for the computer giant IBM. 36.When he was at IBM, he actually reduced his hours down to a four-day week and had Fridays free, when he could work on Bakedin, which became hissecond job and he was devoted to.37.It means that he could do what he liked and took that opportunity to start the business with a four-day week. So they have the normal working week of Monday to Thursday—then everyone gets those three days off.Because there is still some business to do on Fridays, such as dealing with customer enquiries, some of Bakedin's office workers volunteer to work on Fridays.38.Bakedin staff put in nine-and-a-half-hours on the four days they are at work.39.“When we are together, we just find that w e’re more productive. We get more done this way, because we don’t get that tired, Friday feeling.”Many firms and countries. have started experimenting with four-day, rather than five-day weeks.40.Bakedin is in the food industry, which has a very high turn-over rate for staff. “Every year, some 30% of employees in the food industry leave their jobs,” says Joe. “But at Bakedin, our staff turnover rate is under 5%. So a four-day week is an excellent way of keeping staff loyal.”A.He figured it was his business.B.He ran the company as a weekend passion.C.There are other benefits of putting staff on a four-day week.D.It is a big selling point when they first advertise for workers.E.They take their third day off at some other point in the week.F.They get more done this way than if they were at work five days a weekG.It reduces the risk of staff “burning out” and improves their work-life balance.七选五【江苏省徐州市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Happiness is the most sought-after emotion. It is the reason for the existence of all beings. Happiness is not confined to the human world alone. 16.A young child is happy when it is well fed and becomes sad when it is hungry. Even adults cannot resist the pleasures of food and associate this with happiness. A bar of chocolate, an ice cream treat, or a fancy spread at a buffet all bring happiness. 17.Plants that are watered and given enough nutrients will grow happily.18.Toys and gadgets, presents, and red packets bring unexpected joy. Even a pet cat or dog will show its happiness at being given a toy or plaything. A ball of wool or a plastic bone is all it takes.Then, there is the house and the car, holidays abroad, a simple picnic, or even a movie that evokes happiness. Happiness is found in obtaining material things or indulging in recreational activities. 19.Why? Well, it all boils down to the individual. Money can buy happiness to a certain extent but when all is achieved, obtained, and bought, there comes a time for the true sense of happiness.Many have sought it in ashrams and from wise men, but all it takes is an act of kindness and sharing. True happiness is eventually not in the receiving, possessing, and getting but in the giving.Giving time, things, labor to those around us, loved ones or strangers is the true happiness that lives on in our lives. 20.It doesn't have to be grand or expensive but has to be sincere and thoughtful. As Mark Twain once said, “The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.” So, go out there and cheer someone up!A.Clothing and accessories bring happiness.B.Making others happy is the core of being happy.C.Animals and even plants seem to display happiness.D.People are happiest when they are having a meal and some drink.E. Everything we do is aimed at letting other people live more happily.F. Different individuals have different definitions of happiness, though.G. However, many are still not happy with all these trappings of luxury.七选五【江苏省无锡市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Note-taking is an important skill in and out of school, you can make the difference between passing and failing a test, being good at a job or even enjoying a complicated movie. 16.We're taught from a very young age that when a teacher starts delivering a load of information, we should write down as much what they're saying as possible. This is rather an inefficient way to take notes.Note-taking should actually act as a form of learning. 17.We have a three-step method for taking the kind of notes that force you to learn the materials inside the classroom and not out.Step 1 Don't write down facts, write-down conclusions.Don't worry about catching every single thing your teacher's saying. Spend more time listening, trying to understand the lecture. When you do start writing, design your notes as a series of questions raised by the teacher's lecture, filling your own answers. 18.When you do need to include data, add only the most important points under each question. This is the evidence for each question's answer.Step 219.This will help you remember your notes visually. Write questions in red, definitions in blue, conclusions in green.Step 3 Review your notes, don't relearn them.Spend at least ten minutes organizing your notes after class. Try teaching the materials to your classmate. 20.Note-taking is a valuable life skill. It doesn't lose its value when you graduate.A.Use colored pens.B.But unluckily, most people don't know how to take notes.C.Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you've missed.D.This will be a great marker to see if you've actually learned anything.E. It helps you work your way through the lesson as the teacher is giving it.F. Numerous studies over the years have proven what's already pretty obvious.G.

The efforts of volunteers prove invaluable for worthy causes such as helping the needy at soup kitchens or digging a well to provide an undeveloped village with fresh water. But there may be some volunteer who wanders around with his head buried in his smartphone, which is not much better than having no volunteers at all16.EmpathyFirst and foremost, a volunteer should care about the people or animals-who need his help.This means the volunteer looks past cultural, religious and social differences and is only concerned that his efforts are making a positive impact on the lives of others.17.Lending a hand at homeless shelter, for example, doesn't give a volunteer the right to discuss the situations of the people who need the shelter outside of the volunteer group.PassionPassion is an important quality that a good volunteer should possess.18.It's something he looks forward to doing, something he feels a need to do. His enthusiasm is so genuine that he tells other people about the work he does and encourages other people to get on board. A volunteer with this kind of passion can be a one-person advertising agency for a worthy cause.Professionalism19.He treats volunteering with the same level of professionalism that he does his job and he respects the rules that come with it. He does what he says he's going to do and fights through obstacles to make it happen. He also doesn't lower his level of quality output because he isn't being paid for it; he puts his best effort forward because his reward is the difference he's making.Team PlayerIt's important for a volunteer to be a self-starter, but it's equally important for him to know how to work as part of a team.20.No matter what differences in personality, upbringing or outlook, everyone involved is in it for the same purpose: to help those who are unable to help themselves. A.He must also respect the privacy of the people he helps.B.He knows how to cooperate with other volunteers with passion.C.What inspires someone to be a volunteer?D.What qualities does a good volunteer need to possess?E. V olunteering is still in great need even though more and more people take on board.F. A good volunteer is reliable and dependable.G. Volunteering for his favorite cause isn't just another way to spend a Saturday.七选五【江苏省如皋市2021-2022学年高三英语第一学期教学质量调研(一)】Scientists have implanted memories into the brins of birds, helping young zebra finches tolearn a song normally taught to them by their fathers. 16.Like humans, zebra finches learn how to vocalize by imitating their parents. By listening to them sing, young birds memorize the notes.“17..” Todd Roberts, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Cent er, told Newsweek. “In fact, there are amazing similarities between songbirds learning their song and the early stages of speech learning."Roberts, together with colleagues, used “optogenetic manipulation"— where light is used to monitor and control brain activity—to guide the learning of songs. 18.In this way, memories of syllables of a song were created—the length of a note agrees with the length of light exposure.As a result, they guided the learning of the zebra finch with these implanted memories. Their findings are published in the journal Science.“We learn many behaviors during development by copying the behavior of our parents, older siblings or teachers. 19.But our research in young songbirds shows that select synapses connecting sensory and motor circuits play a powerful role in laying down these types of memories and that activation of these connections in the brain can help form memories that can guide learning. We were very surprised by the outcome of our experiments," Roberts said.Roberts said it is unlikely that a similar approach could be used in humans to implant memories.20.However, he did say that understanding these pathways could help us understand conditions where developmental disorders cause speech problems.A.They are active throughout the day.B.Songbirds provide an excellent model.C.Such experiments would give rise to debate.D.The brain activities involved in this are still poorly understood.E.They controlled the interactions between two regions of the brainF.It may not be too many years before the measurements of brain activity.G.The breakthrough has given an insight into the development of vocal learning.七选五【江苏省淮安市高中校协作体2021-2022学年高三英语期中】You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 36.Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year (or even years!).Address problems when they're littleIs your roommate always forgetting her stuff for the shower, and taking yours? Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them? Addressing things that bug you while they're still little can help your roommate be aware of something she may not otherwise know. And addressing little things is much easier than addressing them after they've become big.Respect your roommate's stuffThis may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don't think he'll mind if you borrow his cleats for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just stepped over a line that is not crossable. 37.Be mindful of who you bring into your room-and how oftenYou may love having your study group into your room. 38.Be mindful of how often you bring people over. If your roommate studies best in the quiet, and you study best in a group, can you alternate who hits the library and who gets the room?Be friendly, without expecting to be best friendsDon't go into your roommate relationship thinking that you are going to be best friends for the time you're at school. 39.. You should be friendly with your roommate but also make sure you have your own social circles.40.Treat your roommate like you'd like to be treated. Deal with problems properly. No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year, you can take comfort knowing you acted like an adult and treated your roommate with respect.A.If nothing else, follow the golden ruleB.Don't borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission firstC.But your roommate may notD.While having a roommate inevitably has its challenges, it can also be a great part of your life experienceE. However, your roommate may also think soF. Address problems when they're big, tooG. It may happen, but expecting it sets both of you up for trouble七选五【江苏省海门中学、淮阴中学、姜堰中学2021-2022学年高三上学期11月阶段测试(期中)】More mainstream sources of news such as newspapers, radio and IV aren’t gone yet, but the Internet is growing and entrenching itself as the preferred source. Here are some of the reasons why the Internet is now the best source of news people hive.Online news is faster and more convenient while on the go. Soon after a major story occurs, it takes a few hours for news channels to report it live on cable.16.Social media makes news more relevant. Social media platforms are not just limited to sharing pictures and posting updates about our daily routines.17.For example, when there is breaking news on the Internet, people can make comments and post their thoughts regarding the event. As a result, they get into a dialogue where different opinions are presented and debated. 18.On the other hand, if you get news from cable TV, you have very limited options to discuss.You can get news directly from its source. Many newsmakers are already active on the Internet. Since all these newsmakers have an online presence. People can get news directly fromthe concerned source, public figures, and newsmakers. 19.. Their social media presence is verified (证实的) and it is easier to trust information coming from them.20.For generation Z, cable TV is limited to sports and movie channels. They don't sit in front of the TV to watch a news bulletin. There primary source of information is the Internet. This is how they have grown up. It's unlikely they'll move away from digital anytime soon. And since this younger generation is the future, digital or Internet news is too.A.The future is digital.B.Traditional journalism still holds great value.C.That is, news doesn't have to be reported to you.D.This makes everyday news quite relevant for a while.E. The Internet is quick to judge and demand an apology.F. However, people can get news faster through social media.G. More importantly, it is a great way to understand the public’s perspective on certain issues.七选五【江苏省常州市2021-2022学年高三上学期期中】Either consciously or not, we spend our lives continually gathering knowledge, information, facts which help define who we are. 36.Each fact learned, each skill acquired should have a purpose. We should not, therefore, waste our time learning facts by rote(死记硬背), simply to pass exams. But the training of the mind to remember crucial pieces of information and to exercise is a vital part of our personal development.We should not underestimate(低估)how much children can learn. In memorizing lines of poetry or play scripts, children's minds are spongelike(海绵状). 37.Properly engaged, the sky is the limit.In recent years, however, the Internet has given us pause to re-visit the debate of skills versus knowledge and to look at what we need to commit to memory.No one would argue about the value of learning information by heart, but there is a lot more "knowledge" to choose from now and we have better tools by which to sort, gather and store knowledge. 38.They lead us to focus instead on improving the technical and kills required to sort, prioritize and use the knowledge that lie therein.That fact, above all others, should be reflected in our schools.For decades, schools have been notorious(臭名昭著的)for teaching the same topics or"facts." 39.I recently found my late father's History exercise book with its notes copied from 5ome authoritative tome(巨著), but without any real explanation or analysis. Ox-bow lakes were one favourite topic that my father learned about at school, that I learned about at school and then taught to my pupils in turn. Why? Why ox-bow lakes? Why nuclear physics and not nanotechnology(纳米技术)? How do we choose?That is our responsibility. 40.The important questions, however, should always be: What specific skills and prior knowledge do our children need to make sense of facts? How well equipped are they already to analyze all of this extra information? And how do we change our teaching to achieve these very different outcomes? That is the challenge facing our schools. A.Nor should we place limits on what the brain can do.B.The Internet can be our memory and we should therefore entirely rely on it.C.At school, these facts are usually delivered to us to prepare us for jobs in the future. D.Teaching facts is as important in education as it ever was.E.Change, educational change, is slow indeed, in almost every subject.F.Wikipedia and Google have changed what we need to commit to memory.G.We should, however also spend our time remembering facts.七选五【江苏省高邮市2022届高三上学期期初学情调研】Failure is probably the most exhausting experience one ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.16.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. 17.Using my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (字母) order and I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.18.Its difficulties appear so great that we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can and then let the unconscious take over. When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents. Nothing like this had ever been done before so that my fatigue became almost unbearable. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. 19.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind and proved correct at every step.20.Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.A.Feeling relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.B.Hard as I worked as before, l felt no fatigue.C.This feeling finally weighed me down.D.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.E.And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.F.I racked my brains day and night and wrote the essays desperately.G.I once was asked to write quite a lot of essays on some famous authors.。

A. They think themselves smart.
B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”

ASo you’re going to the royal wedding! Let’s review a checklist of everything you’ll need to know.What to wear at the ceremonyDid you get your fascinator yet? Tha t’s a trick question because you probably don’t even know what a fascinator is. Royal dress code etiquette (礼仪) states that women must wear hats for formal events, and fascinators are the preferred accessory (配饰). These funny hats boast a large decorative design. If you haven’t packed one, no worries. Simply glue a cabbage to the side of your head. No one will be the wiser, and you can always snack on your fascinator should the wedding ceremony drag on. Gentlemen are expected to wear morning coats and top hats. Royals will likely wear their military uniforms.Meeting the royalsMen, when greeting the royals, a simple bow will do. Not so low that it looks as if you’re examining the carpet for any medals they might have dropped. This is a slight neck bow. Women perform a curtsy. Simply put one leg behind the other, bend your knees, bow your head slightly and fall over because you’ve never done this before.Chatting up the queenThe first rule of talking to the queen: Don’t talk. That is, unless spoken to. If sh e does start a conversation and you find you’ve run out of interesting stuff to discuss after “Hello”, break the ice with a joke. “Hey, why did the queen go to the dentist?” “To get her teeth crowned!”DiningEvery meal begins and ends with the queen. You can’t start eating until she starts, and you stop when she stops. The queen doesn’t appear to be a large eater, so you should wolf down your food in case she pushes the plate away after a few bites. When dining, the royals hold knives in their right hand and forks in their left with the tines facing down.1.What must women have on for the royal wedding?A.Morning coats B.Military uniformsC.Hats with fascinators D.Cabbages2.Which behavior is proper at a royal ceremony?A.Fall over when you bow to the queenB.Don’t start eating until the queen startsC.Don’t talk even if spoken toD.Push the plate away while eating3.What is the main writing characteristic of the text?A.Humorous B.Serious C.Plain D.Official【分析】这是一篇说明文。

This is believed to protect them from crimes committed after nightfall,as well as from breaking the law, and there exists serious evidence ___26___this belief.
