His entire life was devoted to his art. Unlike many artists of his era, he was successful throughout his career.Due to his mother‟s mental illness, Turner spent some of his childhood living with his relatives. He worked as an assistant to various architects. By the age of 13 he was making drawings at home and exhibiting them in his father‟s shop window for sale. Turner receiv ed a rare honor—one of his paintings was exhibited at the Royal Academy when he was 15 years old. By the time he was 18 he had his own studio.He quickly achieved a fine reputation and was elected an associate of the Royal Academy. In 1802 Turner became a full member. He then began traveling widely in Europe. But Venice was the inspiration for some of Turner‟s finest works. Wherever he travelled in Venice, he studied the effects of sea and sky in every kind of weather. Instead of merely recording what he saw, Turner translated scenes into a light-filled expression of his own romantic feelings. Turner knew how to create his own paintings from there.Turner had no close friends. He allowed no one to watch him while he painted. He gave up attending the meetings of the academy. None of his acquaintances saw him for months at a time. Turner continued to travel but always alone. He still held exhibitions, but he usually refused to sell his paintings.In 1850 he exhibited for the last time. Turner died at his home in Chelsea on 19 December, 1851. Turner left a large fortune that he hoped would be used to support what he called “decaying artists”. His collection of paintings was given away to his country. At his requ est he was buried in St. Paul‟s Cathedral.24.

One farmer has now introduced his CSA program to a law firm in New York City. The busy lawyers there are loving the service.The Glebocki family has been in the fanning business since 1894. But staying in business is not easy. Farming requires a lot of money for seeds and equipment at the beginning of the growing season. And farmers do not know how much money they will get for their crops at the end of the season. They are also not sure if anyone will buy what they grow. John Glebocki, the current farm owner, has one solution to these problems: Community Supported Agriculture.Every Thursday, John Glebocki and his workers load the truck for the 96-kilometer trip to New York City. The driver and his fresh vegetables drive through the big city streets, then stop at the Winston and Strawn law firm.Victor Barnett and Mikaela Evans-Aziz work at the law firm. “It‟s nice to get this fresh produce every Friday. I don‟t have to run to the grocery store. We love it. It‟s the only fresh food we get in our diets. We have kind of crazy hours, and we look forward to this every week. ”they say.Renee Zimmerman and Rachel Benjamin also work at the firm. They are also loyal CSA customers. “It‟s a great way to keep our farmers in business to insure we continue to get fresh pro duce. Besides, it‟s fresh and it‟s a little weird that you get it at work.”Martina Owens helped bring the CSA to the firm. One of her goals was to bring people together. She says the program has been a success. And for farmer John Glebocki, the CSA gives some protection from the economic uncertainties of agriculture. He knows what he can grow and sell, and he knows what he will get for his crops. That stability can keep a family farm in business.28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly talking about?A. The development of CSAs.B. The popularity of CSAs.C. The reason why CSAs are launched.D. The difficulty that CSAs are facing.29. What advantage of CSAs do Victor Barnett and Mikaela Evans-Aziz stress?A. The kindness of the farmers.B. The diversity of the produce.C. The cheap price of the produce.D. The convenience they get from it.30. The underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 5 probably means _______.A. terribleB. amazingC. possibleD. usual31. Which of the following statements about CSAs is NOT true ________.A. It has been successful so far.B. It has met many difficulties.C. It helps keep agriculture stable.D. It will have a brilliant future.DHave you ever heard an English teacher say, “Teaching grammar is boring!” Betty Azar has, and she strongly disagrees. “I think that is a misconception—that teaching grammar is a boring thing to do—when teaching grammar, for me, always was the class I looked forward to the most because grammar was just the foundation. It was where you started. From there you do conversations, you do games, you do communicative interaction, you do all of the wonderful things you do in a second language classroom, but you do it in combination with having a solid foundation of the structures that they are using.”The common misunderstanding that Ms. Azar sees is that grammar can be taught as a subject,like history or math. Teachers try to get students to memorize rules. Grammar is not just learning rules. It is a way to help students along the way to communication.“If you have a class named …grammar‟, it doesn‟t mean you‟re teaching rules that the students have to learn, It just means, …grammar is where we‟re going to start, and then we‟re going to have a lot of fun with it, and practice, and do a lot of interesting things, and, most importantly, have successful communication experiences. ‟”Another piece of advice for teachers is that students do not all learn in the same way. Each may have a different learning style when it comes to learning grammar. Some may see a pattern and understand the rule. Others need explanations and more practice.Michael Swan says that teachers should apply modern research on language to teach the most frequent grammar points before they spend time on those that are not often used, He wants teachers to understand their students‟ language backgrounds, too. If the students have a native language with a similar grammar rule, they do not need to spend time practicing it in English.The worst situation, Mr. Swan says, is when teachers try to make their students “perfect”English speakers by teaching too much grammar. This approach makes students afraid to speak, because they do not want to make any mistakes.32. The first paragraph implies that Azar thinks grammar _______.A. is the starting point of all classesB. is the basis of communicationC. should be combined with gamesD. is the structure of all wonderful things33. In Ms. Azar‟s opinion, what mistakes do teachers usually make about grammar?A. Doing a lot of practice.B. Ignoring its basic rules.C. Teaching it as a subject.D. Testing it in learning styles.34. When teaching grammar, teachers should _______ according to Mr. Swan.A. focus on grammar points that are often usedB. correct any grammar mistakes of students in timeC. find similar rules to their native languageD. make their students speak perfect English from the beginning35. Which would be the best title for the text?A. Grammar is too boring to learn.B. Grammar is not a subject at all.C. Grammar is taught too much at class.D. Grammar is quite a remarkable thing.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
