One popular view of Vincent Van Gogh is that his mental health problems gave him some of his artistic genius （天才）. But a new exhibition in Am sterdam’s Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands argues that this was not the case. The exhibition questions whether depression helped the Dutch artist, who shot himself in a cornfield in Paris in 1890.

Using written documents and a gun that was found by a farmer in 1960 in that same cornfield, experts argue that, far from inspiring his art, Van Gogh’s illness actually stopped him working for long periods, and that he heroically fought against its uncreative effects.

The image of Van Gogh as a “mad genius” argu ably comes from his own art. In his Self-Portrait With a Bandaged Ear (1889), he focuses on the wound he gave himself when he cut off his left ear with a razor blade（剃须刀片）in December 1888. According to Jonathan Jones, the UK newspaper The Guardian’s art wr iter, this is a portrait of an artist both hurt and “liberated by madness”.

Similarly, the finding by American biographers Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith that Van Gogh was shot by someone else is challenged in the exhibition. The museum displays the gun he probably used in his suicide （自杀）. Other evidence in the exhibition, including his last works of art that give away his dark thoughts, backs up the belief that Van Gogh died by suicide.

“Van Gogh was not successful during his own lifetime.” This is the idea that many people have about the famous artist, but is it true? It depends on how you see “success”. For example, in March 1890, a few months before his death, 10 of his works were on display at an important exhibition in Paris.

Critics had also started to praise him. J.J. Isaacson wrote in September 1889 that he was a pioneer, a lonely fighter in the dark night, and the generations to come should brand his name upon their memories: Vincent Van Gogh. He probably didn’t know how right he was.

24. Wha t does the underlined phrase “the case” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. That Van Gogh’s illness stopped him working.

B. That Van Gogh’s illness contributed to his achievements.

C. That Van Gogh had a gift for painting.

D. That Van Gogh had no mental health problems.

25. How do people know that Van Gogh was a “mad genius” according to the text?

A. From the new exhibition.

B. From the newspaper The Guardian.

C. From Van Gogh’s painting.

D. From two American biographers.

26. What can we infer from J.J. Isaac son’s assessment?

A. Van Gogh was actually successful.

B. Van Gogh’s name will be forgotten.

C. Van Gogh didn’t know Isaacson was right.

D. Van Gogh was the greatest painter in history.

27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. An introduction to Van Gogh

B. A new exhibition about V an Gogh’s works

C. Van Gogh’s unsuccessful life

D. New findings about Van Gogh

C

On a clear night, you can see a sky packed with stars. But you can’t see planets circling around any of these stars, even with the strongest Earth-based telescopes. Astronomers reported that they discovered seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a nearby star called TRAPPIST–1 in February. They had to rely in indirect evidence to tell them that the planets are there. By doing some math, they figured out the number of planets and the distance of their orbits.

TRAPPIST–1 is a red dwarf star（红矮星）, much smaller than our sun, but larger than Jupiter（木星）. If the sun were the size of a basketball, TRAPPIST–1 would be the size of a golf ball. This star is one of our closest neighbors, just like the moon to the earth in space.

When astronomers using Earth-based telescopes to study TRAPPIST–1, they noticed that every once in a while, it became slightly dim（昏暗）. They decided that a planet must be passing in front of the star, blocking part of the light. This dimming would come and go as the planet orbited the star, passing alternately（交替地）behind and in front of the star regularly.

By making careful observations, astronomers expected to get a rough idea of the planet’s size from the pattern of dimming light. But the light level changed often and not at evenly(均匀的）spaced（间隔的）times. The astronomers had to conclude they were looking at more than one planet! To get additional data, NASA’s Spitzer Telescope measured TRAPPIST–1’s brightness nearly continuously for 20 days, catchi ng 34 crossings of planets in front of the star. Sorting through the mess of data, the astronomers found that innermost planet completes its orbit in 1.5 Earth days, while the outermost planet takes 20 days. Once you know how long it takes each planet to complete an orbit, you can work out far it is from the star compared with the other planets.

The TRAPPIST–1 planets are not alone. So far, astronomers have found more than 3,400 planets that orbit other stars.

28. How did astronomers know the number of planets orbiting TRAPPIST–1?

A. They used their eyes.

B. They used telescopes.

C. They performed some calculation.

D. They made some guess.

29. How does the author introduce TRAPPIST–1 in Paragraph 2?

A. By giving examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By providing research results.

D. By listing some numbers.

30. What probably causes the star TRAPPIST–1 to be slightly dim?

A. The telescope’s failure.

B. The cloud floating around.

C. The star’s moving.

D. The passing planets.

31. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A. The ways to get the information of the planets.

B. The introduction of the planets.

C. The distances of the planets to the star.

D. The astronomers’ efforts of exploring TRAPPIST–1.

D

After years of observing human nature，I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance，curiosity and discontent．I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either．And I have never known an average man who had both．The two belong together．Together，these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition．Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground．Like Galileo，all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent，"Why？Why？Why？"

Fortunately，curiosity and discontent don?t have to be learned．We are born with them and need only recapture them．

"The great man，" said Mencius（孟子），"is he who does not lose his child?s heart．" Yet most of us do lose it．We stop asking questions．We stop challenging custom．We just follow the crowd．And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average．It encourages us to occupy our own little corner，to avoid foolish leaps into the dark，to be satisfied．

Most of us meet new people，and new ideas，with hesitation．But once having met and liked them，we think how terrible it would have been，had we missed the chance．We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.

However you start，remember there is no better time to start than right now，for you?ll never be more alive than you are at this moment．

32.In writing Paragraph 1，the author aims to____．

A. propose a definition

B. make a comparison

C. reach a conclusion

D. present an argument

33.What does the example of Galileo tell us？

A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth．

B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious．

C. Creativity results from challenging authority．

D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore．

34.What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent？

A. Observe the unknown around you．

B. Develop a questioning mind．

C. Lead a life of adventure．

D. Follow the fashion．

35. What could be the best title for the passage？

A. Curious Minds Never Feel Contented

B. Reflections on Human Nature

C. The Keys to Achievement

D. Never Too Late to Learn

I experienced years of loneliness as a child.36 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood. I had to spend hours by myself.

A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 37 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children's books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 38

My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 39 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of all projects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点）others found helpful，and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.

40 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside，no matter the weather or season.

My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty do myself. There was making leaf horses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They are all memories I treasure today.

A. l wasn't alone any longer.

B. I enjoy reading stories aloud.

C. I was invited to play with another kid.

D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.

E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.

F. Thus, I began my life long interest in making things.

G. My older brother was unwilling to play with me.

For most of us, there will be quite the number of friends to make in our life. We get to meet all these difference faces at times. Therefore, most of them will eventually left us.

But then there comes a day when we suddenly f ind that they are the ones we have expected. This is just what life is. We don’t really need such many friends.

参考文章：

Recently, whether students should be divided into science students and art ones is under heated discussion among the public.

Some are in favor of the division, for students will have more time to concentrate on their favorite subjects, which leads to high efficiency in study. In addition, the pressure from study can be reduced. On the contrary, others object to the former opinion. they suppose only when students learn both science subjects and art subjects can they be educated to comprehensive students, laying a solid foundation for the future study after entering college.

From my own views, I think that it may have more advantages than disadvantages to learn both science and art subjects. although it will spend us more time and energy, it’s of great benefit to students in a long run (从长远看).

Text 10

M: Well, I’d like to share with you my childhood experience. When I was a child I used to look forward to Saturday mornings. That was when my brother, Bernard, and I got our pocket money from our father. I would put half of it in my moneybox, and run off happily with the rest to Bartlett’s, the little, local shop at the end of our street. All Mrs. Bartlett had were a few things arranged on a simple wooden shelf. But to us it was a wonderful sight: sugar-balls and sweets in brightly colored paper. It always took ages for each

child to decide what to buy. But Mrs. Bartlett didn’t mind: she let us take our time. Bernard liked sweets, but instead of my spending all the pocket money left buying the sweets, he didn’t buy them. He went to a newsagent’s shop that sold football cards. He was mad about those picture cards of famous footballers, and spent all his pocket money trying to collect whole teams of players. On Saturday afternoons he would find out where I was. Then Bernard would go to our mother to complain. Mum would say, “Jim, don’t be so mean. Share your sweets with your brother.”

I thought this was really unfair, but I had no choice
