Patti Page,the top-selling female artist of the 1950s with more than 100 million records sold,died on January 1st,2013,when she was 85.She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era.Take her “Tennessee Waltz” for example,it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit.
Born in Claremore,Oklahoma,a small town near Tulsa,Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art.Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15-minute program.
At age 20,Page was discovered by big-band leader Jack Rael,who quit his job to become her manager.In 1948,she signed her first recording contract(合同) with Mercury Records and two years later enjoyed her first hit record.She stayed with Mercury for the next 14 years and recorded hit after hit including:“With My Eyes Wide Open,I’m Dreaming”,and “Old Cape Cod”.
Her last hit was “Hush...Hush,Sweet Charlotte”,recorded for the Bette Davis movie of the same name.And then,there was “Doggie in the Window”.The creative tune was a huge hit,but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌詞),the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s.
Throughout the 1950s,Patti Page made regular appearances on television variety shows and in 1957 she was chosen to host the musical program,“The Big Record”.The following year,Page appeared in her own CBS television series,“The Patti Page Shows”.She continued to record and perform into the 21st century,most recently releasing an album of songs for children,a Christmas record,and a new “best of” collection.
Besides music,Patti Page did a bit of acting.She co-starred with the Oscar-winning Burt Lancaster in “Elmer Gantry”,and also starred on stage in the musical play “Annie Get Your Gun”.

A water lily painting, WaterLilyPond,by Claude Monet, the French impressionist artist,was sold for more than $80 million on Tuesday,breaking the auction(拍賣) record for himself.WaterLilyPond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put up for sale during his lifetime.
The four paintings of Monet’s water lily garden were signed and dated by the artist in 1919.One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York,while another was sold at auction in 1992 for $12.1 million and is in a private collection now.The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War Ⅱ.
“After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the telephone,the painting finally was sold to a collector for $80.4 million,setting a new world record price for the artist at auction,” said Olivier Camu,a scholar of impressionist art.
The last record for a Monet work was set in May when LePontduchemindeferàArgenteuil was sold for $41.4 million.
The painting sold on Tuesday was bought at a 1971 New York auction for $320,000.It has not been exhibited since then.
Monet’s later works had unique characteristics,especially LesGrandesDecorations,another good example,which was bedded in Musée de I’Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet’s death in 1926.
Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny,France.He selected different water lilies in an effort to get as many different colored flowers as possible,specially creating the garden as a base for his paintings.
4.According to the passage, WaterLilyPond broke the last record for Monet’s paintings by 　　　.?
A.$12 million　　　　　　B.$39 million
C.$41.4 million D.$32 million
答案:B

C
In kindergarten,my class was asked to draw pictures,showing what we wanted to be when we grew up.Our drawings were expected to display our dream occupations.I remember pictures of ballerinas dancing,firefighters putting out a blaze,and astronauts leaping across the moon.
My picture showed a figure with brown hair holding a box of orange juice beside a counter.Underneath was my handwriting:“When I grow up,I want to work at Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe(刷) orange juice across the scanner.” Out of everything,my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store.
When we are young,questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common.Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true.However,when we become teens,we are asked the very same questions twice as often.The difference is that now we are supposed to answer with confidence.
Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal.However,not all of us can be so sure.Even though I am in high school,I cannot answer with certainty.But I don’t consider that a bad thing.How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40?
When I think about the future,I definitely don’t see myself working at Market Basket,but in reality,if that was what would make me happy,I would do it.So,the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up,I will simply say “happy”.
Happiness is a destination for everyone.We may want to walk different paths in life,but we all want to be happy wherever we end up.Choose your path,but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely.Make a mistake or two and try new things.But always remember,if you’re not happy,you’re not at the end of your journey yet.
8.What did the author want to be when he was in kindergarten?
A.An astronaut. B.A firefighter.
C.A dancer. D.A cashier.
答案:D
解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“WhenIgrowup,IwanttoworkatMarketBasketbecauseitwouldbefuntoswipeorangejuiceacrossthescanner.”可知,作者想在長大后到MarketBasket工作,因為在掃描儀上刷橙汁會很有趣。因此當作者還在幼兒園時想成為一名收銀員。故選D項。
9.We can learn from the passage that 　　　.?
A.kindergartners are able to display their dream jobs with confidence
B.kindergartners have limited imagination of their dream occupations
C.teenagers are supposed to be clear about what they want to be
D.teenagers stick to the path they chose when they were young
答案:C
解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“Teensareexpectedtoknowexactlywhatwewanttobe...”可知,青少年應該清楚自己想成為什么樣的人。故選C項。
10.The author would probably agree that 　　　.?
A.the principle of growth lies in human choice
B.happiness is the meaning of existence
C.it is never too late to correct mistakes
D.your future depends on your dreams
答案:B
解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Happinessisadestinationforeveryone.Wemaywanttowalkdifferentpathsinlife,butweallwanttobehappywhereverweendup.”可知,幸福是每個人的歸宿。我們可能想在生活中走不同的路,但無論走到哪里,我們都想變得快樂。因此作者可能會贊同幸福是存在的意義。故選B項。
11.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Different stages of life.
B.Career guidance.
C.The real goal of life.
D.Career paths.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,作者在兒時想做一名收銀員,但就未來講作者并不希望自己真的在MarketBasket工作,而是想要簡單的快樂,故本文主要講的是“生活中真正的目標”。故選C項。

D
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.

About 5,000 years ago,the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing.They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting pictures together.When an important person died,scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But,for the Egyptians,pictures still had magic power.So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it.?
By the year 1,000 BCE,people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing.The signs they used were very easy to write,and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign,or letter,represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea,and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawings,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.
12.Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because 　　　.?
A.the hunters wanted to see the pictures
B.the painters were animal lovers
C.the painters wanted to show imagination
D.the pictures were thought to be helpful
答案:D
解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Perhapsthepaintersthought...theseanimals.”可知,在墻上畫畫會被認為對他們有所幫助。故選D項。
13.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The Egyptian signs later became a particular alphabet.
B.The Egyptians liked to write comic strip stories.
C.The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one.
D.The Greeks copied their writing system from the Egyptians.
答案:A
解析:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段部分內(nèi)容可知B項錯誤。根據(jù)第四段第四、五句可知C、D兩項錯誤,根據(jù)第二段可知選項A為正確答案。
14.In the last paragraph,the writer thinks that pictures 　　　.?
A.should be made comprehensible
B.should be made interesting
C.are of much use in our life
D.have disappeared from our life
答案:C
解析:推理判斷題。文章最后一段講述了圖畫在今天的用途,故選C項。
15.The underlined phrase “comic strip stories” in paragraph 3 probably means 　　　.?
A.a series of drawn pictures inside boxes that tell a story
B.a funny drawing in a newspaper,often including humorous remarks
C.a short film that is made by photographing a series of drawings
D.a book of stories for children
答案:A
解析:詞義猜測題。通過上下文可知,comicstripstories指“連環(huán)漫畫故事”,故選A項。

Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere.When it comes to appreciating an art painting,there is no right or wrong way.　16　?
?Know the artist.To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting.　17　 Once you get familiar with the paintings from a particular artist,you will start relating to their unique style.?
?　18　 This is really tough.There are different styles and types of art mediums,realism,surrealism,and Impressionism,to name but a few.So for beginners,it’s advisable to keep things simple.Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolour,oil painting or sketch(速寫) on paper.You also need to figure out the styles of the work—figurative(形象的) or abstract.?
?Try and find a meaning.To read between lines and colours and understand what the artist means can be very difficult.　19　 So here’s a simple guide.Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas.Still,it doesn’t mean your understanding is the same as the artist’s.Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes,lines and colours and their meaning is different for everyone who sees them.?
?Search for emotions.Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight.　20　 Explore the art work with your eyes.?
Once you are aware of these things,you will be able to break the ice of art.
A.Discover your taste and styles.
B.Know the types of art and medium used.
C.Some of these art works will take time to reach you.
D.You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.
E.Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.
F.A simple art painting might be understood otherwise for different people.
G.The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.
答案:16.G　17.E　18.B　19.F　20.C

閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。
Vincent van Gogh is often remembered as an excellent painter.He was a lonely man who often went without food in order to buy paints,a man with few friends and a 　21　 temper.Van Gogh’s strong emotions 　22　 not only his life,but his paintings as well.Many of Van Gogh’s paintings were 　23　 by warm,yellow sunlight because he loved how it could 　24　 the world in different ways.His painting Sunflowers,for example,is 　25　 yellows and browns.These colours give the painting a feeling of warmth.However,the sunflowers are 　26　 dead and dying.?
The result is a painting that 　27　 the warmth of life that Van Gogh loved with the feelings of sadness that were all around him.It is a painting that is warm,beautiful and sad,all at the same time.?
Van Gogh’s most famous painting,TheStarryNight,　28　 this mixture of joy and sadness one step further.It is a landscape full of deep 　29　 and shadows which showed the sadness Van Gogh was feeling as he was painting,　30　 what he actually saw.?
This is why Van Gogh’s 　31　 in his painting look more imagined than real.The stars and moon in TheStarryNight are 　32　 bright,their light swirling above the darkening hills.A tree that looks like black fire cuts through the view of the night,interrupting its beauty.?
Because of his wild emotions,Van Gogh was not 　33　 during his life.He sold only one painting.However,people today who stand in front of Sunflowers or TheStarryNight can 　34　 the same joy and sadness as Van Gogh once did,　35　 he painted those deep blues and sunny yellows.?
21.A.gentle B.tender
C.short D.stormy

C.improved D.reduced
答案:B
解析:由下文所描述的凡·高畫作的特點可知,凡·高強烈的情感不僅影響了他的生活,也同樣影響了他的畫作。affect“影響”,符合語境。
23.A.inspired B.taught
C.followed D.moved
答案:A
解析:設空處后面的becausehelovedhowitcould　　　theworldindifferentways中的it指的是前面提到的“warm,yellowsunlight”,說明凡·高喜歡溫暖的黃色陽光。文章多次用warm,yellow來描述他的畫作,由此可知,凡·高的許多畫作受到溫暖的黃色陽光的啟發(fā)。inspire“激發(fā);啟發(fā)”,符合語境。?
24.A.show up B.turn up
C.cut up D.light up

C.made in D.good at

解析:根據(jù)上文“ManyofVanGogh’spaintingswere　　　bywarm,yellowsunlight...”可推斷出,他的作品充滿了黃色和棕色。befilledwith是固定結(jié)構(gòu),意為“充滿”,相當于befullof。?
26.A.actually B.simply
C.entirely D.finally
答案:A
解析:由However可知,上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,再根據(jù)上句內(nèi)容可知此處表達的是事實上向日葵已經(jīng)枯萎或即將枯死。actually“事實上;實際上”,符合語境。
27.A.communicates B.mixes
C.compares D.includes
答案:B
解析:由前一段可知,凡·高在《向日葵》的畫作中將溫暖的色彩與枯萎死亡的事物結(jié)合在一起,即畫作將凡·高所熱愛的生命的溫暖與圍繞在他身邊的悲傷混合在一起。mix...with...“把……與……混合在一起”。故選B項。
28.A.continues B.stands
C.raises D.takes
答案:D
解析:第二段總結(jié)了凡·高所創(chuàng)作的《向日葵》的特點:warm,beautifulandsad。本段繼續(xù)舉例:他最著名的畫作《星月夜》使這種喜悅和悲傷的融合更進一步。take...onestepfurther“將……向前推進一步”,為固定表達。故選D項。
29.A.greens B.blacks
C.blues D.reds
答案:C
解析:根據(jù)常識以及設空處后面的showedthesadnessVanGoghwasfeelingashewaspainting可知,這是一幅充滿了深藍色和陰影的風景畫。blue“藍色”。
30.A.rather than B.other than
C.as well as D.in addition
答案:A
解析:設空處后面的whatheactuallysaw與設空處前面的thesadnessVanGoghwasfeeling相互對應,此處表示這幅畫表現(xiàn)了他作畫時感受到的悲傷,而不是(ratherthan)他實際上所看到的。故選A項。
31.A.voices B.pictures
C.colours D.images
答案:D
解析:句意:這就是為什么凡·高畫作中的意象看起來更加虛幻而非真實。表示畫作中的意象應用images。
32.A.seldom B.unusually
C.accordingly D.properly
答案:B
解析:從設空處后面的theirlightswirlingabovethedarkeninghills可知,月亮和星星的光盤旋在黝黑的山上。這種光和我們平時見到的是不同的。由前一句中的imagined也可推斷此處應選unusually,意為“不同尋常地”。
33.A.understood B.noticed
C.rewarded D.trusted
答案:A
解析:由設空處前面的wildemotions可知,凡·高在當時并不被別人理解(understood)。
34.A.experience B.recognise
C.accept D.determine
答案:A
解析:由設空處后面的thesamejoyandsadnessasVanGoghoncedid可知此處應選experience,表示體會、感受凡·高曾經(jīng)感受到的快樂與悲傷。
35.A.though B.however
C.if D.as
答案:D
解析:然而,今天人們站在《向日葵》或是《星月夜》前能體會到凡·高在畫那些深藍色與明黃色時曾經(jīng)感受到的同樣的快樂與悲傷。表示“當……的時候”用as。

第二節(jié)(滿分25分)
閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右。
When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely ruined. One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely ruined home. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast.Holding her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear. The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.
“These poor people now have nothing,” I said.“We’ll share what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor, encouraging the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods that they no longer needed.
Meghan walked up with Lucy, her much-loved doll, hugged tightly to her chest. She stopped in front of the box, gave her doll a final kiss, and then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, Honey,” I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously, “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that other little girl happy, too.”
Theboyshadwatched, open-mouthed, whentheirsisterplacedherfavouritedollinthebox.

Theboyshadwatched,open-mouthed,whentheirsisterplacedherfavouritedollinthebox.Without a word,the boys rose and went to their rooms and came back carrying their favorite toys to the living room.Astonished,I realised that the boys had also recognised what little Meghan’s action meant.I think all of them want to make these poor people who have nothing happy like them.Swallowing back tears,I pulled all three of them into my arms.
Ilookedatmychildrenforalongmoment.I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes,too.I replaced it with the new green jacket that I had found on sale last week.I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did.What Meghan did taught me a lesson that the true spirit of donating is to give with your heart.
