AModern life can be stressful. It’s full of pressure and hardships, worries and annoyances. But after years of being dosed up by doctors and seeking solutions on the self-help shelves, can most common complaints be cured through your next holiday?21. When celebrating the festival Just for Laughs in Montreal, you will _________.A. empty your mind with meditation sessionsB. be thrilled and your depression will not be removedC. burst into tears by watching comedy filmsD. have discussions on the meaning of life22. If you are thinking too much about work, you can spend a few days at ___________.A. Wanderlust FestivalB. How The Light Gets InC. Just For LaughsD. Ireland’s Matchmaking Festival23. According to the passage, we can learn the festival doctor specializes in ________.A. treating people falling ill during festivalsB. listening to people’s complaints during festivalsC. offering a cure through the festival formD. celebrating the festivals with the patientsB“Now stretch over your right leg!” my dance teacher yells over the music. “If it doesn't hurt, you're not trying hard enough. Hold that stretch for 30 seconds!" My dance teacher works hard to form us into the dancers we desire to be. In order for this to occur, we stretch hard a lot!Dancing is a real passion of many people, including me. I work hard to make myself better, and prove that I am good enough. Performing a dance routine is more than just a performance. Dancers tell stories when they dance. It is a way for us to express our personal feelings. Just letting go and letting your body move with the music can create your emotions. Dance tells us things that our mind secretly hides.“Get up and do it again! You need to keep your spirits up!” Even though I am completely worn out after my dances, I love to hear those words. It gives me a sense of relief knowing that I can again express my feelings out on the floor.“Practice makes perfect! Come on. We have a competition this weekend, and we need to work harder!” Competitions are the best possible example of fun. For a dancer, life cannot get better than competitions. The thrill of losing yourself onstage is a rush of energy rushing through your body! The feeling is unexplainable. As you sit there putting on your makeup, fixing your hair, and putting on your costume, the rush just gradually grows until it is ready to be released onstage.Finally the time comes to tell your story. Standing backstage waiting for your name to be called is one of the scariest moments. You are ready to show the world what you are capable of and what you have been perfecting for a while. Once your number is called, you walk out onstage. The applause at the end tells each dancer that their story has been received, and that the dance has been brought to life.24. What does the author's dance teacher require her to do during the dance class?A. Build up her confidence.B. Keep encouraged and cheerful.C. Train her body to the fullest.D. Understand the music.25. How does the author understand dancing according to the text?A. It is a good way to release stress.B. It takes talent, confidence and patience to dance well.C. It is no more than a performance with our bodies.D. It is a way to show our personal emotions.26. As far as the author is concerned, a dance competition means .A. an improvement in her life.B. an opportunity to have fun.C. a reflection of her perfect thoughts.D. a way to experience the scariest moment.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. Bringing dance to lifeB. Training for competitionsC. Dancers' special feelingsD. Encouragement from my teacherCWhen I first started university, I remembered hearing about bone marrow(骨髓)donation during Freshman’s Week. Some students volunteers from a group called Marrow tried to convince me to attend an event so I could learn more about it. The word “bone” immediately made me think that donating would be a painful procedure, so I refused. Back then, there was no way I could have known three years later, I would be one of the many people that desperately needs a bone marrow donor to save their lives.I am currently waiting to be matched with a donor and if I am lucky enough to find a good match, it will be this lovely stranger that saves my life. I received my cancer diagnosis in June. It is only at that time that I realized how ignorant I had been about the bone marrow donation process.The process of donating stem cells is actually very simple. In 90% of cases, donors are asked to donate their blood stem cells, the other 10% will give their bone marrow. Lots of donors say that both these things are virtually pain free, and nothing to be scared about. Being a bone marrow donor should be something to be proud of, as every donor has an opportunity to save someone’s life!At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match, I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a do nor right for me. If I have an opportunity for life, I won’t waste it.When I was a first year at university, I made the mistake of walking away from becoming a stem cell donor. Please don’t make the same mistake that I did. There are so many people out there, including myself, that need your help; and by undergoing a simple, pain-free procedure, you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someone’s life.28. Why did the author refuse to learn more about bone marrow donation before?A. Because she could get nothing from it.B. Because she thought that donating would be painful.C. Because she had known nothing about it.D. Because she was in poor health.29. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph1?A. The author was concerned about others.B. The author was confident about the bone marrow donation.C. The author needs the bone marrow donation now.D. The author donates her bone marrow to save others.30. The author needs the bone marrow because she got .A. cancerB. headacheC. fluD. high blood pressure31. The author told us her story toA. show us the experience of her college life.B. explain the cause of her cancer.C. recall her painful past.D. encourage people to be a bone marrow donor.DThe trouble of having to charge your smart phone for hours a day could become a thing of the past.British scientists have created a material that replaces the screen glass for phones, i-pad and smartwatches, but uses no power—meaning they could be charged weekly. The discovery is important because more than 90 percent of a device’s battery power illuminates（照明）the screen.Technology firms have focused on improving battery life. But the British experts say dealing with the main power-using may give better results. Oxford University engineer Dr Peiman Hosseini, who invented the material, told the Sunday Telegraph: “You have to charge smartwatches every night. But if you had smart glass, you could recharg e it just once a week.”The invention uses electrical pulses to create displays that require no power and can be viewed even in direct sunlight. Dr Hosseini’s company, Bodle Technologies, hopes to have a prototype（样机）in a year.Battery life is seen as a major obstruction for modern computing and technology. While the power of technology and lifestyle gadgets has improved rapidly in recent years, batteries have not kept pace. The success of smart watches, including Apple’s version, is thought to depend on solving this problem because few users are willing to charge a watch every day.Gadget firms are also desperate to solve the problem.Apple, for example, is investigating using fuel cells to power its phones and laptops, and this year had gained a patent for a system that it claimed could power its gadget for weeks.In 2012 US energy secretary Steven Chu called for a big push to improve batteries, challenging scientists to produce a battery with five times the capacity within five years.Aside from mobile gadgets, improving battery technology is seen as being key to the success of electric cars, which currently have a limited journey before they must stop to be recharged.32. Who invented the new material?A. Energy secretary.B. Oxford University engineer.C. Technology firms.D. Apple Corps.33. What can we know about the invention?A. It has gained a patent.B. It is popular with customers.C. It is a kind of glass.D. It uses power to charge the phones.34. The author uses the example of Apple in para7 to show________________.A. what the key to success isB. why Apple products are popularC. how often batteries must be rechargedD. how gadget firms are making efforts to improve batteries35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. 90% of batteries will be replaced with smart glass.B. It is likely that mobile phones will be recharged once a week.C. Scientists are focusing on increasing the number of batteries.D. Many users are willing to pay more for watches of Apple version.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
河南省南阳市2017-2018学年高二英语上学期第一次月考试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
ADear Friend,The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there.And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $ 3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year … plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folk s like you and me.But Am I Good Enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn’t know where to turn for help.Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.The Promise That Paid OffThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability.You will complete at least one manuscript (手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn’t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children’s books and over 300 stories and articles.Free Test and BrochureWe offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describingour recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.Realize your writing dream today. There’s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.Sincerely,Kristi Holl, InstructorInstitute of Children’s Literature21. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that _______.A. children’s books are usually bestsellersB. publishers are making $3 billion each yearC. there is a growing need for writers of children’s booksD. magazines for teenagers have drawn public attention22. When finishing the course, you are promised to ______.A. be a successful publisherB. finish one work for publicationC. become a confident editorD. get one story or article published23. Kristi Holl mentions her experience mainly to______.A. prove she is a good instructorB. show she sold more stories than articlesC. give her advice on course preparationD. promote the writing programBWhen you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer when it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.“Now go clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.24. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?A. To introduce Stephanie to her.B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.C. To put the materials back in the yard.D. To show his artwork to her.25. In his mother’s eyes, the writer ______ .A. was a born artistB. always caused troubleC. was a problem solverD. worked very hard26. The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refers to ________ .A. the rainbow in the skyB. the stripes on the pavementC. something imaginative and funD. important lessons learned in childhood27. It can be learned from the passage that parents should .A. encourage children to paintB. value friendship among childrenC. discover the hidden talent in childrenD. protect rather than destroy children’s dreamsCTo be popular is increasingly becoming the great desire among the young. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is about as easy as spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least that’s how Margy found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. They said they would have liked to be friends sooner.I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. That, to me, would have been proof that she had betrayed herself in order to become popular. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧)into a larger cocoon.I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian (火星人).These days there’s a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. Well, go for it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularitythat really counts.28. Which of the following statements is true?A. Some teenagers tend to show their uniqueness but end up behaving the same way.B. Real popularity comes only when you respect others.C. Margy changed schools to find her true self.D. At first, the author thought it hard for Margy to enter new school.29. What does the author think of some teenagers?A. They find it hard to gain popularity as expected.B. They’re afraid of getting lost in life.C. They have difficulty understanding each other.D. They lack the courage to be truly different.30. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “nonconformist” in paragraph 5?A. Someone who behaves in his own way.B. Someone who wants to please others.C. Someone who cares about others’ opinion.D. Someone who desires popularity greatly.31. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To criticize the present values and beliefs.B. To show people how to get along with their close friends.C. To persuade readers to pursue valuable popularity.D. To tell parents how to educate and guide their children.DArt museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular " design museums" that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the windowof a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass- produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public's growing interest in the field with new ideas. London's Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.32. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they _____.A. show more technologically advanced productsB. help increase the sales of productsC. show why the products have sold wellD. attract more people than store windows do33. The author believes that most design museum visitors _____.A. do not admire mass-produced productsB. are puzzled with technological exhibitsC. dislike exhibits in art museumsD. know the exhibits very well34. The choices open to design museums _____.A. are not as strict as those to art museumsB. are not aimed to interest the publicC. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitorsD. often contain precious exhibits35. The best title for this passage is _____.A. The Forms of Design MuseumsB. The Exhibits of Design MuseumsC. The Nature of Design MuseumsD.

ADear Friend,The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there。
And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the ＄3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year … plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers。
Who are these needed writers？They’re ordinary fol ks like you and me。
But Am I Good Enough?I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self—doubt, and I didn’t know where to turn for help。
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能)，and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed。
The Promise That Paid OffThe Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you，if you show basic writing ability.You will complete at least one manuscript （手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories。

AModern life can be stressful. It’s full of pressure and hardships, worries and annoyances. But after years of being dosed up by doctors and seeking solutions on the self-help shelves, can most common complaints be cured through your next holiday?The festival doctor will see you now.21. When celebrating the festival Just for Laughs in Montreal, you will _________.A. empty your mind with meditation sessionsB. be thrilled and your depression will not be removedC. burst into tears by watching comedy filmsD. have discussions on the meaning of life22. If you are thinking too much about work, you can spend a few days at ___________.A. Wanderlust FestivalB. How The Light Gets InC. Just For LaughsD. Ireland’s Matchmaking Festival23. According to the passage, we can learn the festival doctor specializes in ________.A. treating people falling ill during festivalsB. listening to people’s complaints during festi valsC. offering a cure through the festival formD. celebrati ng the festivals with the patientsB“Now stretch over your right leg!” my dance teacher yells over the music. “If it doesn't hurt, you're not trying hard enough. Hold that stretch for 30 seconds!" My dance teacher works hard to form us into the dancers we desire to be. In order for this to occur, we stretch hard a lot!Dancing is a real passion of many people, including me. I work hard to make myself better, and prove that I am good enough. Performing a dance routine is more than just aperformance. Dancers tell stories when they dance. It is a way for us to express our personal feelings. Just letting go and letting your body move with the music can create your emotions. Dance tells us things that our mind secretly hides.“Get up and do it again! You need to keep your spirits up!” Even though I am completely worn out after my dances, I love to hear those words. It gives me a sense of relief knowing that I can again express my feelings out on the floor.“Practice makes perfect! Come on. We have a competition this weekend, and we need to work harder!” Competitions are the best possible example of fun. For a dancer, life cannot get better than competitions. The thrill of losing yourself onstage is a rush of energy rushing through your body! The feeling is unexplainable. As you sit there putting on your makeup, fixing your hair, and putting on your costume, the rush just gradually grows until it is ready to be released onstage.Finally the time comes to tell your story. Standing backstage waiting for your name to be called is one of the scariest moments. You are ready to show the world what you are capable of and what you have been perfecting for a while. Once your number is called, you walk out onstage. The applause at the end tells each dancer that their story has been received, and that the dance has been brought to life.24. What does the author's dance teacher require her to do during the dance class?A. Build up her confidence.B. Keep encouraged and cheerful.C. Train her body to the fullest.D. Understand the music.25. How does the author understand dancing according to the text?A. It is a good way to release stress.B. It takes talent, confidence and patience to dance well.C. It is no more than a performance with our bodies.D. It is a way to show our personal emotions.26. As far as the author is concerned, a dance competition means .A. an improvement in her life.B. an opportunity to have fun.C. a reflection of her perfect thoughts.D. a way to experience the scariest moment.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. Bringing dance to lifeB. Training for competitionsC. Dancers' special feelingsD. Encouragement from my teacherCWhen I first started university, I remembered hearing about bone marrow(骨髓)donation during Freshman’s Week. Some students volunteers from a group called Marrow tried to convince me to atte nd an event so I could learn more about it. The word “bone” immediately made me think that donating would be a p ainful procedure, so I refused. Back then, there was no way I could have known three years later, I would be one of the many people that desperately needs a bone marrow donor to save their lives.I am currently waiting to be matched with a donor and if I am lucky enough to find a good match, it will be this lovely stranger that saves my life. I received my cancer diagnosis in June. It is only at that time that I realized how ignorant I had been about the bone marrow donation process.The process of donating stem cells is actually very simple. In 90% of cases, donors are asked to donate their blood stem cells, the other 10% will give their bone marrow. Lots of donors say that both the se things are virtually pain free, and nothing to be scared about. Being a bone marrow donor should be something to be proud of, as every donor has an opportunity to save someone’s life!At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match, I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a donor right for me. If I have an opportunity for life, I won’t waste it.When I was a first year at university, I made the mistake of walking away from becoming a stem cell donor. Please don’t make the same mistake that I did. There are so many people out there, including myself, that need your help; and by undergoing a simple, pain-free procedure, you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someone’s life.28. Why did the author refuse to learn more about bone marrow donation before?A. Because she could get nothing from it.B. Because she thought that donating would be painful.C. Because she had known nothing about it.D. Because she was in poor health.29. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph1?A. The author was concerned about others.B. The author was confident about the bone marrow donation.C. The author needs the bone marrow donation now.D. The author donates her bone marrow to save others.30. The author needs the bone marrow because sh e got .A. cancerB. headacheC. fluD. high blood pressure31. The author told us her story toA. show us the experience of her college life.B. explain the cause of her cancer.C. recall her painful past.D. encourage people to be a bone marrow donor.DThe trouble of having to charge your smart phone for hours a day could become a thing of the past.British scientists have created a material that replaces the screen glass for phones, i-pad and smartwatches, but uses no power—meaning they could be charged weekly. The discovery is important because more than 90 percent of a device’s battery power illumin ates （照明）the screen.Technology firms have focused on improving battery life. But the British experts say dealing with the main power-using may give better results. Oxford University engineer Dr Peiman Hosseini, who invented the material, told the Sunday Te legraph: “You have to charge smartwatches every night. But if you had smart glass, you could recharge it just once a week.”The invention uses electrical pulses to create displays that require no power and can be viewed even in direct sunlight. Dr Hosseini’s company, Bodle Technologies, hopes to have a prototype（样机）in a year.Battery life is seen as a major obstruction for modern computing and technology. While the power of technology and lifestyle gadgets has improved rapidly in recent years, batteries hav e not kept pace. The success of smart watches, including Apple’s version, is thought to depend on solving this problem because few users are willing to charge a watchevery day.Gadget firms are also desperate to solve the problem.Apple, for example, is investigating using fuel cells to power its phones and laptops, and this year had gained a patent for a system that it claimed could power its gadget for weeks.In 2012 US energy secretary Steven Chu called for a big push to improve batteries, challenging scientists to produce a battery with five times the capacity within five years.Aside from mobile gadgets, improving battery technology is seen as being key to the success of electric cars, which currently have a limited journey before they must stop tobe recharged.32. Who invented the new material?A. Energy secretary.B. Oxford University engineer.C. Technology firms.D. Apple Corps.33. What can we know about the invention?A. It has gained a patent.B. It is popular with customers.C. It is a kind of glass.D. It uses power to charge the phones.34. The author uses the example of Apple in para7 to show________________.A. what the key to success isB. why Apple products are popularC. how often batteries must be rechargedD. how gadget firms are making efforts to improve batteries35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. 90% of batteries will be replaced with smart glass.B. It is likely that mobile phones will be recharged once a week.C. Scientists are focusing on increasing the number of batteries.D. Many users are willing to pay more for watches of Apple version.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ADear Friend,The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there.And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $ 3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year … plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers?

From the first three paragraphs, we learn that _______.A. children’s books are usually bestsellersB. publishers are making $3 billion each yearC. there is a growing need for writers of children’s booksD. magazines for teenagers have drawn public attention22.

Kristi Holl mentions her experience mainly to______.A. prove she is a good instructorB. show she sold more stories than articlesC. give her advice on course preparationD. promote the writing programBWhen you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer when it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at workand most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.〞 She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!〞 I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.“Now go clean it up!〞 Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.24. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?A. To introduce Stephanie to her.B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.C. To put the materials back in the yard.D. To show his artwork to her.25. In his mother’s eyes, the writer ______ .A. was a born artistB. always caused troubleC. was a problem solverD. worked very hard26. The underlined word “rainbow〞 in the last paragraph refers to ________ .A. the rainbow in the skyB. the stripes on the pavementC. something imaginative and funD. important lessons learned in childhood27. It can be learned from the passage that parents should.A. encourage children to paintB. value friendship among childrenC. discover the hidden talent in childrenD. protect rather than destroy children’s dreamsCTo be popular is increasingly becoming the great desire among the young. The desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. You can lose yourself in a sea of identical hairstyles and thinking styles.I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is about as easy as spending a season alone in the tropical jungles. At least that’s how Margy found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. They said they would have liked to be friends sooner.I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. That, to me, would have been proof that she had betrayed herself in order to become popular. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles blown into the air.Some teenagers claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a certain way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧)into a larger cocoon.I know that it has become harder for a young person to stand up against the popularity wave. Our way of life makes a young nonconformist stand out like a Martian (火星人).These days there’s a great barrier for the young person who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. Well, go for it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.28. Which of the following statements is true?A. Some teenagers tend to show their uniqueness but end up behaving the same way.B. Real popularity comes only when you respect others.C. Margy changed schools to find her true self.D.

To tell parents how to educate and guide their children.DArt museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular " design museums" that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass- produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public's growing interest in the field with new ideas. London's Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objectsfrom Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.32. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they _____.A. show more technologically advanced productsB. help increase the sales of productsC. show why the products have sold wellD. attract more people than store windows do33. The author believes that most design museum visitors _____.A. do not admire mass-produced productsB. are puzzled with technological exhibitsC. dislike exhibits in art museumsD. know the exhibits very well34. The choices open to design museums _____.A. are not as strict as those to art museumsB. are not aimed to interest the publicC. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitorsD. often contain precious exhibits35. The best title for this passage is _____.A. The Forms of Design MuseumsB. The Exhibits of Design MuseumsC. The Nature of Design MuseumsD. The Choices Open to Design Museums 第二节(共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。
