Mary Arming became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about theancient history of the Earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石)in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils arc parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.When she was only twelve years old. Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons (骨架)of several animals that no longer existed on Earth. She didn't become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be a-warded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time for chemistry. Marie Curie was one of thefew women at the lime who became famous as a scientist.16.

AOne sunny day, an ant went along the bank of a river. It felt very thirsty, so it bent down to drink from the river. But suddenly it slipped and fell intothe water. The ant tried to swim back to the bank, butit couldn’t reach it. The current (水流) of the river was too strong.Just when the ant thought all hope was lost, a bird flew by, and saw the ant struggling in the water. Taking pity on the ant, the bird flew down, picked up a leaf, flew over the ant again, and dropped the leaf onto the water. The ant quickly climbed onto the leaf and was saved at last.A few days later, the ant came across the bird who had saved its life. It was resting on the branch of a tree. Suddenly, the ant saw a hunter aiming his gun at the bird. The ant quickly crawled towards the hunter and bit his foot. The hunter cried out in pain. On hearing the cry, the bird flew away.

Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style.Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways.Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the bigpictures.For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person mayfind it hard to mke out the information in written forms but easy to know itimmediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficultieswith the picture but the written message.Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.·Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking andwriting.·Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理).·Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.·Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music.·Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.·Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directlywith their own experiences.·Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balanceyour weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.5. From the passage, we know that our brains. A. deal with the information in different waysB. send out the information in the same wayC. organize information with our bodiesD. gather information in the same way6. A visual learner usuallylearns . A. through listening and speakingB. by seeing what he is learningC. from movement and physical activitiesD. by linking new information with his experience7. A musical learner will find it easy to learn .A. with formulas and principlesB. by working with othersC. through reading and writingD. through music he hears8. The purpose of the passage is to tell us to .A. learn more successfullyB. gather more informationC. understand more quicklyD. exchange information betterCZheng He was one of China’s most famous explorers.

His fleet travelled many days far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink.

ASamuel Osmond is a 19yearold law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲)by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note,” says Samuel.Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently,“It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.6. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He has a gift for writing music.B. He can write down the note he hears.C. He is a top student at the law school.D. He can play the musical piece he hears.7. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.8. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he ________.A. received a good early education in musicB. played the guitar and the piano perfectlyC. could play the piano without reading musicD. could play the guitar better than his father9. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?A. He became famous during a special event at his college.B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.10. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The qualities of a musicianB. The story of a musical talentC. The importance of early educationD. The relationship between memory and musicBIt was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站). “I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: “Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here's the idea,”Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of s habby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness_can_build_on_itself_as_much_as_violence_can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!11. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B. She wanted to show kindness.C. She hoped to please others.D. She had seven tickets.12. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she ________.A. thought it was beautifully writtenB. wanted to know what it really meantC. decided to write it on a warehouse wallD. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom13. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.14. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?A. Kindness and violence can change the world.B. Kindness and violence can affect one's behaviour.C.

People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.CThroughout the history of the arts,the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select,artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.Landscape(风景)is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie,one of the new American realists,continued this practice,Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature,Ledge pains what he actually sees. In his paintings,there is no particular change in motion,and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术)to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.Besides,all art begs the age-old question:What is real?Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects,the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes,and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up. understanding reality is a necessary struggle for Artists of all periods.Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present,Eastern or Western,the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art,and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.16. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means______________.A. an object for artistic creationB. a collection of poemsC. an unusual qualityD. a natural scene17. Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because______________.A. they are close in style to works in ancient timesB. they look like works by 19th-cenary paintersC. they draw attention to common things in lifeD. they depend heavily on color photography18. What is the author’s opinion of artistic really?______________.A. It will not be found in future works of art.B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.D. It is lacking in modern works of art.19. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?A. They express people’s curiosity about the past.B. They make people interested in everyday experience.C. They are considered important for variety in form.D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.20. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?A. History of the arts.B. Basic questions of the arts.C. New developments in the arts.D. Use of modern technology in the arts.III.完形填空(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
