The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window - the night sky with clouds stars and a moon. However, he didn’t just paint the clouds He also painted the massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark lonely tree.
Unfortunately, Van Gogh's unique paintings weren’t very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime. He also thought The Starry Night was a failure. However, the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world's most famous paintings.
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear - the figure's mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream. The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange-red sky.
Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch's mental health problems,which caused him a lot of pain.
The Empire of Light is a series of paintings by Belgian artist Rene Magritte. Between1953 and 1954, he painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.It seems like quite a mysterious scene.
The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers. Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling Others, however, find them calming. As for Magritte himself, he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising."I call this power poetry."he said.

I still remember the last Christmas Granny spent with us. It began in the middle of November on a cold, windy day. I remember the wind because Granny’s grey hair was a mess when she arrived. That was also the day Granny moved in. Somehow, at the time, I didn’t know she was sick. Maybe I was too young, maybe she hid it too well, or maybe I was just too excited that Christmas was on the way.
After Granny moved in, she spent most of her time on the brown sofa by the fire. Sometimes she was quiet, but she seemed happy. When I wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about the presents I wanted, Granny made an effort to help me. Her hand was slightly shaky, but she wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope.
After breakfast, Auntie Kath and my cousin David arrived. While Mum, Dad and Auntie Kath got lunch ready. David and I played outside. We raced around the garden and rolled a big snow ball to make a lovely snowman. Granny stayed inside by the fire. I remember catching her eye through the window.
“Come outside. Granny,” I called, but she just waved.
Lunch was late, but it was a loud and exciting affair.
A few weeks after that Christmas, Granny passed away. I think of her often though, especially at Christmas. Each year, I take out the music box she gave me. Inside I keep Granny’s paper hat and the letter she helped me write that Christmas. Mum gave the letter back to me some years ago when I no longer believed in Father Christmas. When I think about what makes Christmas so magical, it’s not just gifts and Father Christmas that come to mind. It’s also my memory of Granny. Now I’m the one who makes sugar biscuits each year, and I always make one in a G-shape — G for Granny.

The advertising industry started with the fundamental purpose of promoting and selling goods to people who might need them. Advertising agencies would create a basic type of advertisement known as a commercial advertisement. Such advertisements have gone through a process of change over the years along with social, economic and technological developments.
Classic advertisements used to give information about finding certain products. It was likely to be the name of a company, part of which might include the name of the place from which the product originated. For example, it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machines”, or “Tsing Tao Beer Corporation”. From the name you would know what the company sells, where they are located, and the name of the product.
Advertising agencies used to create this kind of advertising and it could be very effective. But then they realized that it might not be suitable for a marketplace where products and services are in direct competition with each other. Particularly now, in modern times, advertisements need to attract and hold the attention of the public. For this reason, it’s now normal to see advertisements that consist of pictures or words from experts to show people how good the product is. Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at. As present-day advertisers often have large budgets, huge amounts of money are spent on applying modern design techniques to make these advertisements as visually attractive as possible. However, even this is often not enough to be noticed in a modern city.
Because of the boost in advertising, people are used to seeing a high standard of visual design. Modern advertisements need something else to separate them from their competitors. To stand out in a world of competitive advertising, they must combine the highest standard of design with creative ways to make people believe that they “must have the product”. For example, some advertisements may suggest that buying a car can make you free. That is, they use the concept of freedom to sell the car. Other common ideas include happiness, wealth and success. In fact, in the world of advertisements, such content is as old as advertising itself.
For many of today’s advertisers, repeating old ideas is not a successful approach. Ideas that would work in the past genuinely are not as effective now. They realize that it does not matter how attractive the idea linked with the product is—most people know and anticipate that the main purpose of the advertisement is to make customers buy the product. Instead, these advertisers look for other ways to make people notice their products. The top advertisers of today believe that using humour as well as new and unusual ideas to surprise people is important. Their aim is to create something that has never been seen before and that people find interesting. By doing this, they hope to make people forget that someone is trying to sell them something!
However, not all advertising is about selling products and services for a profit. Some advertisements nowadays aim to make a contribution to society and welfare. For example, there are public advertisements, which encourage citizens to participate in improving their neighbourhood, protecting the environment, and helping other people. Over the last decade, the government has sponsored advertisements to educate the public on fighting AIDS, saving water, helping the poor, giving up smoking, etc. These advertisements have helped to increase public knowledge about topics that used to be ignored by most people, and this has made our society a better place for everyone.
8. what is the passage mainly about
A. Different types of advertisements. B. Different attitudes towards advertisements.
C. The development of advertisements. D. All of the above.
9. Which isn’t the character of a classic advertisement
A. It gives information about a product. B. It includes the name of a company.
C. It includes the name of the place. D. It attracts the attention to the public.
10. Advertising agencies used many ways to attract and hold the attention of the public, except what？
A. consist of pictures or words from experts.
B. create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at.
C. combine the highest standard of design with creative ways.
D. make people forget the selling purpose of advertisements.
11. What did the author want to convey in the last paragragh？
A. not all advertising is about selling products and services for a profit.
B. Some advertisements aim to make a contribution to society and welfare.
C. the government has sponsored advertisements to educate the public .
D. Advertisements can help to make our society a better place for everyone.
D
It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understanding. To start with, we need questions. Then, to find answers, we observe the world around us and study the facts. After that, we consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. Although today we are more used to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to give us an answer, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the world’s problems with this type of analysis—luckily for us.
However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon (1561-1626) suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. Although Bacon held an important rank in King James’ royal court of England, his true interest was not the day-to-day, slow and inefficient working style of the government, but the worthy search for knowledge. This was certainly not the interest of most people in his days. At that time, people believed more in the church than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who proved the idea that “the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and didn’t want to challenge what they had always comfortably believed. In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe views that were almost 2,000 years old!
It is not surprising that people wanted to believe these primitive ideas as they had been put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE). He said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. Galilei disagreed. At first, people approved of his studies and urged him to continue, but later when he proved Aristotle wrong, they grew angry and put him in prison. They didn’t want to abandon what they’d always thought as true. And this is still often true today. People make the assumption that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei also made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the Earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong.
Therefore, our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say, “We know it all.” We need to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom. They understood that we don’t know everything and probably never will, as this would mean a world with questions.
We owe so much of our knowledge and understanding of the world to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of conventional thought in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilization is built upon. These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.
12. How are we used to finding answers of questions today
A. we observe the world around us and study the facts.
B. we consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones.
C. we type a few key words into a search engine and wait for the Internet to give us an answer.
D. First of all, we need questions.
13. The author used the stories of Aristotle and Galilei in order to tell us what
A. many people tended to ignore the facts and didn’t want to challenge what they had always comfortably believed.
B. No one is perfect and our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing.
C. Even great men like Aristotle and Galileo Galilei can make mistakes.
D. People make the assumption that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so.
14. What does the underlined words“sit back”in paragragh 4 mean？
A. stop study B. relax in a chair C. wait for success to come D. stop work
15. What is the author’s attitude toward people like Bacon and Galilei？
A feel sorry B. sympathize C. feel grateful D. in memory of

Where am I What am I doing If you’re one of my 500 friends online, you’ll always be the first to know. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, I check through all my social networking apps, read my emails and answer text message. ___16___ .
I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates. Yet the truth of the matter is: ___17___. According to research, over two-thirds of young people find it easier to make friends online than it is “in real life”. I’m way beyond a shy or reserved person, but I’m wired up every day.

They say that phones bring people closer together but in reality, my mind is always a million miles away.

I constantly feel depressed, dissatisfied and alone. ___19___, I keep delaying things that are important in my real life: homework, tasks, connecting with my friends and family members in a meaningful way.

In November, Pneumonia hit Greenwich Village. Mr Pneumonia troubled Johnsy; and she lay, barely moving in her bed.The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance that is for her to want to live. Try to encourage her to think more hopeful thoughts.”
Sue took some paper and a pen into Johnsy’s room and began a pen drawing to raise Johnsy’s spirits. Johnsy’s eyes were openand stared out the window and counted backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven ...”
“What are you counting, dear ” asked Sue. “They’re falling faster now, When the last one falls, I must go, too.”
“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense,” quickly replied Sue. But Johnsy’s mind was made up. “I want to see the last one fall. I’m tired of waiting. I want to go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.”
Sue went to fetch her neighbour, Mr Behrman and told him about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves. Behrman cried with disbelief. Behrman and Sue looked out the window at the vine and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf.
The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. “It will fall today. And I will die with it.”
The following day, Johnsy asked again for the curtains to be opened. The leaf was still there!

When I think about what makes Christmas so magical, it’s not just gifts and Father Christmas that come to mind. It’s also my memory of Granny. (圣诞节过后几个星期，奶奶去世了。不过我经常想起她，尤其是在圣诞节的时候。每年，我都会拿出她给我的音乐盒。我把奶奶的纸帽子和那年圣诞节她帮我写的信放在里面。几年前，当我不再相信有圣诞老人的时候，妈妈把这封信还给了我。当我想到是什么让圣诞节如此神奇时，脑海中浮现的不仅仅是礼物和圣诞老人。这也是我对奶奶的记忆。)”可推知，作者在最后一段讲述她对圣诞节的回忆是为了纪念她的奶奶。故选C。

The advertising industry started with the fundamental purpose of promoting and selling goods to people who might need them. Advertising agencies would create a basic type of advertisement known as a commercial advertisement. Such advertisements have gone through a process of change over the years along with social, economic and technological developments.
Classic advertisements used to give information about finding certain products. It was likely to be the name of a company, part of which might include the name of the place from which the product originated. For example, it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machines”, or “Tsing Tao Beer Corporation”. From the name you would know what the company sells, where they are located, and the name of the product.
Advertising agencies used to create this kind of advertising and it could be very effective. But then they realized that it might not be suitable for a marketplace where products and services are in direct competition with each other. Particularly now, in modern times, advertisements need to attract and hold the attention of the public. For this reason, it’s now normal to see advertisements that consist of pictures or words from experts to show people how good the product is. Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at. As present-day advertisers often have large budgets, huge amounts of money are spent on applying modern design techniques to make these advertisements as visually attractive as possible. However, even this is often not enough to be noticed in a modern city.
Because of the boost in advertising, people are used to seeing a high standard of visual design. Modern advertisements need something else to separate them from their competitors. To stand out in a world of competitive advertising, they must combine the highest standard of design with creative ways to make people believe that they “must have the product”. For example, some advertisements may suggest that buying a car can make you free. That is, they use the concept of freedom to sell the car. Other common ideas include happiness, wealth and success. In fact, in the world of advertisements, such content is as old as advertising itself.
For many of today’s advertisers, repeating old ideas is not a successful approach. Ideas that would work in the past genuinely are not as effective now. They realize that it does not matter how attractive the idea linked with the product is—most people know and anticipate that the main purpose of the advertisement is to make customers buy the product. Instead, these advertisers look for other ways to make people notice their products. The top advertisers of today believe that using humour as well as new and unusual ideas to surprise people is important. Their aim is to create something that has never been seen before and that people find interesting. By doing this, they hope to make people forget that someone is trying to sell them something!
However, not all advertising is about selling products and services for a profit. Some advertisements nowadays aim to make a contribution to society and welfare. For example, there are public advertisements, which encourage citizens to participate in improving their neighbourhood, protecting the environment, and helping other people. Over the last decade, the government has sponsored advertisements to educate the public on fighting AIDS, saving water, helping the poor, giving up smoking, etc. These advertisements have helped to increase public knowledge about topics that used to be ignored by most people, and this has made our society a better place for everyone.
8. what is the passage mainly about
A. Different types of advertisements. B. Different attitudes towards advertisements.
C. The development of advertisements. D. All of the above.
9. Which isn’t the character of a classic advertisement
A. It gives information about a product. B. It includes the name of a company.

A. consist of pictures or words from experts.
B. create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at.
C. combine the highest standard of design with creative ways.
D. make people forget the selling purpose of advertisements.

A. not all advertising is about selling products and services for a profit.
B. Some advertisements aim to make a contribution to society and welfare.
C. the government has sponsored advertisements to educate the public .

It seems obvious now how we acquire knowledge and understanding. To start with, we need questions. Then, to find answers, we observe the world around us and study the facts. After that, we consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. Although today we are more used to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for the Internet to give us an answer, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the world’s problems with this type of analysis—luckily for us.
However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon (1561-1626) suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. Although Bacon held an important rank in King James’ royal court of England, his true interest was not the day-to-day, slow and inefficient working style of the government, but the worthy search for knowledge. This was certainly not the interest of most people in his days. At that time, people believed more in the church than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), who proved the idea that “the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and didn’t want to challenge what they had always comfortably believed. In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe views that were almost 2,000 years old!
It is not surprising that people wanted to believe these primitive ideas as they had been put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE). He said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. Galilei disagreed. At first, people approved of his studies and urged him to continue, but later when he proved Aristotle wrong, they grew angry and put him in prison. They didn’t want to abandon what they’d always thought as true. And this is still often true today. People make the assumption that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei also made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the Earth moved round the sun in a perfect circle. He was wrong.
Therefore, our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say, “We know it all.” We need to thank the great men of the past for their wisdom. They understood that we don’t know everything and probably never will, as this would mean a world with questions.
We owe so much of our knowledge and understanding of the world to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of conventional thought in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilization is built upon. These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world.
12. How are we used to finding answers of questions today
A. we observe the world around us and study the facts.
B. we consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones.
C. we type a few key words into a search engine and wait for the Internet to give us an answer.
D. First of all, we need questions.
13. The author used the stories of Aristotle and Galilei in order to tell us what

B. No one is perfect and our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changing.
C. Even great men like Aristotle and Galileo Galilei can make mistakes.

Where am I What am I doing If you’re one of my 500 friends online, you’ll always be the first to know. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, I check through all my social networking apps, read my emails and answer text message. ___16___ .
I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates. Yet the truth of the matter is: ___17___. According to research, over two-thirds of young people find it easier to make friends online than it is “in real life”. I’m way beyond a shy or reserved person, but I’m wired up every day.

They say that phones bring people closer together but in reality, my mind is always a million miles away.
___18___ . Sometimes I set deadlines for myself: I will start doing my homework at 8 pm, and aim to finish in two hours. At 7: 50 pm, I’m still scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos. Before I know it, it’s 9: 30 pm and I still haven’t moved an inch from the sofa. My friends try to drag me away from my phone, but as soon as I’m alone again, I’m desperate to get back to the online world and the intense activity that it provides.
I constantly feel depressed, dissatisfied and alone. ___19___, I keep delaying things that are important in my real life: homework, tasks, connecting with my friends and family members in a meaningful way.

The Last Leaf
Greenwich Village is a place where the art people came together, hunting for apartments with north-facing windows and low rents. At the top of a three-story building, Sue and Johnsy had their studio.
In November, Pneumonia hit Greenwich Village. Mr Pneumonia troubled Johnsy; and she lay, barely moving in her bed.The doctor took Sue aside and claimed, “She has one chance that is for her to want to live. Try to encourage her to think more hopeful thoughts.”
Sue took some paper and a pen into Johnsy’s room and began a pen drawing to raise Johnsy’s spirits. Johnsy’s eyes were open,and stared out the window and counted backwards: “Ten, nine, eight, seven ...”
“What are you counting, dear ” asked Sue. “They’re falling faster now, When the last one falls, I must go, too.”
“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense,” quickly replied Sue. But Johnsy’s mind was made up. “I want to see the last one fall. I’m tired of waiting. I want to go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.”
Sue went to fetch her neighbour, Mr Behrman and told him about Johnsy’s longing to slip away like the leaves. Behrman cried with disbelief. Behrman and Sue looked out the window at the vine and noticed that there was just one remaining leaf.
The next morning, Johnsy woke and asked for the curtains to be opened. One leaf remained on the vine, bravely holding on in the wind and rain. “It will fall today. And I will die with it.”
The following day, Johnsy asked again for the curtains to be opened. The leaf was still there!

【答案】范文
Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it. “I’ve been a bad girl, Sue,” said Johnsy. “It is a crime to want to die.” Then she asked for some food.
In the afternoon, the doctor visited, “Even chances,” said the doctor, “with good nursing, you’ll win. And now I must see a fellow downstairs, Behrman. Pneumonia, too. There is no hope for him.”
The next day, Sue came to Johnsy’s bed. “I have something to tell you,” she said. “Mr Behrman died today. He was ill for only two days. The janitor found him lying in bed helplessly with pain yesterday morning. His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold. They couldn’t imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern, still lit, and some brushes, and—look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder why it never moved an inch when the wind blew Ah, dear, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece—he painted it there the night when the last leaf fell.”
