Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺)no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100 -year -old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). "Homes in those days were well -built, 〞they say. No doubt these homes were well -built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost ofemploying a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old days.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precise cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.【语篇概述】本文是议论文.文章对现代社会的工匠的手艺有没有消亡这一问题进行了讨论.最|后, 作者认为工匠的手艺不但没消亡, 反而增强了.1. What does the underlined word "they〞(Paragraph 2)refer to?A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.B. Carpenters who have college degrees.C. People who think highly of carpenters of old days.D. People who think that modern material is of low quality.【解析】选C .词义猜想题.根据第二段最|后一句"毫无疑问, 这些家被建得很好, 但是这些人所做的是把用在房屋上的材料的质量与他们精湛的手艺结合起来了.〞这说明有此观点的人是赞扬古代工匠的人.2. Compared with the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are__________.A. more successfulB. more learnedC. more imaginativeD. more hardworking【解析】选B .细节理解题.根据第三段最|后一句及第四段可知, 现代的工匠比古代的工匠更有学问.3. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.【解析】选D .段落大意题.根据第三段第|一句可知, 如果人们愿意付钱, 现代的工匠也能建造出和那些老房子持续得一样长久的房子.4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Is Craft Dead?B. Craft, Back to Life?C. History of CraftsmanshipD. Carpenters Today and Yesterday【解析】选A .标题归纳题.根据第|一段可知, 现代多数人认为随着科技的开展, 工匠的手艺不复存在了.下文就此问题展开讨论.经过分析, 作者认为现代工匠的手艺没有消亡, 而是更先进了.故用A作标题更能吸引读者.其余三项偏离了中|心或是平淡无奇.BA few years ago, a company called Space Marketing came up with a plan to send a mile -long advertisement into space. To advertising agencies(机构), it would have been "a dream come true〞. However, advertising standards agencies finally decided not to allow Space Marketing to go ahead with their plans and they were forced to give them up.Space may indeed be the final place for advertisers, because on Earth we are already surrounded by advertising wherever we are and whatever we are doing. Apart from the obvious adverts that we see every day on TV, and in newspapers and magazines, there is a whole "other world〞of advertising messages for our attention. There are ads that we see on the side of the bus we catch to work, for example. And what about the logos(商标)we see on the clothing of the people we walk past in the streets?Most of the time, we are probably not even aware of(意识到的)these less obvious advertising methods, but that doesn ,t mean thatthey don ,t work. Take "product placement〞for example. You are in a cinema, watching the latest Hollywood movie. Look carefully at the make of the car your favorite actor is driving. And what about his watch? Can you see what brand it is? Chances are, you can, and the company that owns the brand is likely to have paid thousands for it to appear in the film.So, whether Space Marketing finally succeeds in sending ads into space or not is perhaps less important than it might seem. This would not change a thing. Our everyday lives are already strongly influenced by advertising whether we realize it or not.【语篇概述】我们的生活中出现了大量的广告, 本文介绍了一家叫Space Marketing的公司提出把一个一英里长的广告送到太空的想法.5. What happened to the plan of sending an ad into space?A. It came to nothing.B. It was a dream come true.C. It had to wait a few years before it was carried out.D. It was supported by the advertising standards agencies.【解析】选A .细节理解题.根据第|一段最|后一句中they were forced to give them up. (他们被迫放弃.)可知这个方案没有被实施.6. How does the author explain the "other world〞of advertising messages?A. By showing research findings.B. By explaining research findings.C. By giving instructions.D. By using examples.【解析】选D .细节理解题.根据下文中There are ads that we see on the side of the bus we catch to work, for example. And what about the logos we see on the clothing of the people we walk past in the streets? 可看出作者是通过举例子来解释"other world〞.7. As a form of advertising, product placement__________.A. costs a littleB. doesn ,t workC. is less obvious than TV adsD. mainly appears in Hollywood movies【解析】选C .推理判断题.根据文章第三段中Most of the time, we are probably not even aware of these less obvious advertising methods, but that doesn ,t mean that they don ,t work. Take "product placement〞for example. 可知"product placement〞是不太明显的广告.8. What does the author suggest at the end of the text?A. We live in a world of advertising.B. We ,ve changed a lot because of advertising.C. Space Marketing leads in the advertising industry.D. Space ads will mark the beginning of a new world.【解析】选A .推理判断题.根据文章最|后一句Our everyday lives are already strongly influenced by advertising whether we realize it or not. 无论我们意识到与否, 我们的日常生活已经被广告深深地影响到了.故作者认为我们生活在一个充满广告的世|界.Ⅱ. 完形填空The name of the1artist Picasso is very famous in the West. Today Picasso2"art〞. Picasso started off with various styles of painting until he invented "Cubism(立体派)〞.Picasso ,s father was also a painter, a Professor of Art at the local school of fine arts(美术).

He also created11and wrote poetry.Picasso produced12paintings than anyone else ever has: 13,500 paintings, 100, 000 prints and 34, 000 book illustrations.

They painted objects by15them into small pieces and then viewed and painted them from several angles at once. 16used brown colors for the paintings.The Cubism Movement started with Picasso and Braque in Montmartre, Paris, and17rapidly among the artists. It began to develop into a second phase(阶段), in which artists added18objects to the painting in various materials, such as cloth or newspapers. In the 1950’s Picasso ,s works went through more changes when he started to look at the grand masters of art, like Velasquez.In his 80’s and 90’s he began to paint a mixture of many styles19 he kept changing.
