Back in the fifteenth century in Nuremberg lived a family with eighteen children. They were so poor that two children, who wanted to pursue their talent for 26 knew their father would never be 27 able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed (擲) a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, 28 the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous 29 and for the next four years, financed his brother, who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his 30 . By the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn 31 fees by drawing for wealthy people. When the young artist returned home, at dinner he drank a 32 to his beloved brother for the years of 33 that had enabled him to fulfill his 34 .He said, “Albert, my blessed brother, now it is your 35 to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”
With tears in his eyes, Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, “No, brother, I cannot go. Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my 36 !The bones in every finger have been 37 at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis (關(guān)節(jié)炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a 38 to return your toast, much less make delicate (細(xì)膩的)lines with a pen or a brush. No, brother..., for me it is too 39 .”
Deeply moved, Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother’s 40 hands with palms(手掌) together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his powerful drawing 41 “Hands”, to which the entire world immediately opened their hearts and later they 42 it “ the Praying Hands”.
The next time when you see a copy of that 43 creation, take a second look. Let it be your 44 , if you still need one, that no one ever makes it 45 !

試題分析:本文講述了為了讓弟弟去學(xué)習(xí),哥哥到煤礦里打工,最后弟弟成名歸來,報(bào)答哥哥的恩情時(shí)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)哥哥的雙手已經(jīng)不能再拿起畫筆了,所以他就把哥哥的手畫了下來。
1.B考查語境化選詞。下文,尤其是第6空所在的句子告訴我們,Albrecht畢業(yè)后以畫畫(drawing)謀生可知答案。their talent for art意思是“他們的藝術(shù)天賦”。
2.C 副詞辨析。A基礎(chǔ)地B頻繁地C經(jīng)濟(jì)上D靈活地;在經(jīng)濟(jì)上他們的父母無法送他們?nèi)uremberg學(xué)習(xí)。
3.A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A贏得B失去C結(jié)束D開始;兄弟贏得了這次擲硬幣,而得到了去Nuremberg的機(jī)會(huì)。
4.D 名詞辨析。A山B海洋C沙漠D礦;指哥哥到礦里打工掙錢給弟弟學(xué)習(xí)。
5.C考查語境化選詞。這里要表達(dá)的意思是,他的作品甚至比大部分老師的都要出色。classmates(同學(xué))有很大的干擾性,但比大部分同學(xué)出色,無法表達(dá)出好到能為有錢人畫畫賺錢的程度(drawing for wealthy people)。
6.B考查形容詞辨析。considerable是“大量”的意思。由下文可知,他要為哥哥提供學(xué)習(xí)的費(fèi)用,由此可以看出,他通過給人畫畫賺了很多錢。considerate“體貼的,考慮周到的”,由于和considerable極其形似,所以極易誤選。
7.D考查語境化選詞。Albrecht學(xué)成歸來,向?yàn)閹退麑?shí)現(xiàn)藝術(shù)夢(mèng)想而犧牲了許多的哥哥敬酒致謝。toast在這里是可數(shù)名詞,意思是“(向某人)敬酒”。
8.C考查名詞辨析。由語境可知,哥哥為了弟弟放棄了自己學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì),并去了危險(xiǎn)的煤礦打工賺錢。這都是為弟弟所做的犧牲“sacrifice”。而donation“捐贈(zèng)”;education“教育”;experience“經(jīng)驗(yàn),體驗(yàn)”。均不符合句意。
9.B考查名詞辨析。這里指的是第一段所說的藝術(shù)夢(mèng)想。見7。ambition在這里指遠(yuǎn)大的理想。下一句也有提示:pursue your dream。
10.A考查名詞辨析。“It is one's turn to do sth.”意思是“輪到某人做某事”。句意為:(我的夢(mèng)想已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)),現(xiàn)在該你去實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢(mèng)想了。turn指“(依次輪流時(shí)各自的)一次機(jī)會(huì)”。
11.D考查語境化選詞。該段第一句有暗示。眼含淚水,他把雙手收放到臉的右側(cè),說:“我不能去了?矗哪陙,在煤礦里,我的手(hands)怎么了。”下一句也有提示。
12.A考查動(dòng)詞辨析。在這四個(gè)詞中,只有injure“傷害”才能使手發(fā)生這樣的變化。句意為:每只手指的骨頭至少受傷過一次。strengthen“加強(qiáng),使有力”有很大的干擾性。
13.C 名詞辨析。A刀B勺子C杯子D筆;我甚至都無法拿起杯子來回應(yīng)敬酒。
14.D 形容詞辨析。指這一切一切都太晚了,我已經(jīng)沒有機(jī)會(huì)再去學(xué)習(xí)繪畫了。
15.A 形容詞辨析。A過度使用B黑色C寬的D易碎的;他就把哥哥過度使用的手畫了下來。
16.B考查副詞辨析。由他為自己的畫取的名字來看,是非常簡單的。句意為:他把這幅偉大的作品簡單地(simply)稱為“雙手”,然而,全世界的人都立刻敞開心扉,瞻仰這幅杰作,把這幅愛的作品重新命名為“祈禱之手”。seriously“認(rèn)真地”;carefully“謹(jǐn)慎地;仔細(xì)地”;gently“溫和地”。
17.D考查語境化選詞。因?yàn)樽髌芬延辛艘粋(gè)名字,這是再次取名,所以要用rename。
18.B考查形容詞辨析。由上文的介紹可以看出,這幅作品是非常感人(touching)的。倒數(shù)第二段的第一句話也有提示。longing“渴望的,極想得到的”;challenging“有挑戰(zhàn)性的”;disturbing“引起煩惱的,令人不安的”。都不符合句意。
19.A考查名詞辨析。這里要表達(dá)的意思是:提醒你明白“if you still need one,that no oneno one ever makes it alone!”reminder在這里意思是“提醒物”。句意為:如果你也需要這么一幅畫,就讓它成為你的提醒。aid“幫助”,guide“指導(dǎo)”,coach“教練;家庭教師”。
20.C考查語境化選詞。句意為:沒有人——沒有人能單槍匹馬地獲得成功!alone意思是“單獨(dú)地,獨(dú)自地”。由上文的介紹可知,這位藝術(shù)大師的成功,不是自己獨(dú)自奮斗的結(jié)果,是他哥哥作出了巨大的犧牲,才使他學(xué)業(yè)有成的。
考點(diǎn):考查故事類完型填空
點(diǎn)評(píng):本文講述了為了讓弟弟去學(xué)習(xí),哥哥到煤礦里打工,最后弟弟成名歸來,報(bào)答哥哥的恩情時(shí)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)哥哥的雙手已經(jīng)不能再拿起畫筆了,所以他就把哥哥的手畫了下來。本文要求考生具有扎實(shí)的英語詞組、短語、習(xí)慣用法等英語搭配的知識(shí),這對(duì)于理解文章的邏輯關(guān)系特別有利。文章的邏輯關(guān)系不外乎列舉、原因、結(jié)果、讓步、對(duì)照、補(bǔ)充、目的、條件等關(guān)系。解題時(shí)應(yīng)聯(lián)系上下文尋找相關(guān)線索,如某一個(gè)詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞、上義詞、下義詞和概括詞等。但由于我們?cè)谧鲱}時(shí)不可能總是重復(fù)地閱讀文章,因此,在做完形填空時(shí)要培養(yǎng)一種捕捉并記憶相關(guān)信息的能力。

“Racism (種族歧視) is a grown-up disease,” declares the saying on Ruby Bridge’s website along with a photo of Mrs. Bridge today, a 6-year-old girl four decades ago. In the photo, she is walking up the steps of the William Frantz Public School in New Orleans, a little black girl accompanied by two officers who protect her on her way to school.
Her name then was Ruby Nell. It was Nov. 14, 1960. She was the first black child to enroll at this all-white elementary school according to the court order to desegregate in New Orleans schools. Her story is moving -- she was a very courageous child -- and remains a significant proof against intolerance (不寬容) of all kinds. Ruby’s photo brings out another powerful image on her website: Norman Rockwells symbolic painting for Look magazine on Jan. 14, 1964, “The Problem We All Live With.”
Rockwell was an illustrator of exceptional skill and charm. He produced a vast number of unforgettable images over a long career, many of them involving children. His American kids are innocent and appealing, but often, at the same time, decidedly naughty. His method was to photograph his models, and the resulting paintings were photographic. But it is revealing to see how the artist slightly changed facial expressions from photo to oil painting in order to make his paintings communicate with the viewer. Communication, even persuasion, lay at the back of his work; this was art for effect.
“The Problem We All Live With” belongs to Rockwell’s later work, when he began openly showing his strong belief in liberty. This is a highly persuasive image. Before he arrived at the final copy, one sketch (草圖) shows the little girl closer to the two officers following her than to those in front. In the finished picture, the girl seems more determined, independent, and untouched. The unfriendly tomatoes thrown on the wall are behind her now, and she, is completely unaffected.
1.Ruby Nell was protected by officers on her way to school, because .
A.she was a little fighter against racism |
B.she was very young, short and timid |
C.she was the first black to study in an all-white school |
D.she was chosen by the com t0be’wi’th white children |

A.social program for American children |
B.famous painting by Norman Rockwell |
C.photo displayed on Ruby Bridges’ website |
D.exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum |
3.The word “desegregate” in paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.
A.fight against the white |
B.end racial separation |
C.struggle for freedom |
D.stop the black-white conflict |
4.The main topic of this passage is .
A.how Rockwell encouraged Ruby to fight against racism |
B.how Ruby won her fight to go to an all-white school |
C.how Rockwell expressed his protest in .Iris work |
D.how persuasive Rockwell’s earlier work of art is |

London: It’s well known that Charles Darwin’s famous theory of evolution (進(jìn)化) annoyed many people because it was against the Biblical view of creation. But few know that it also created problems for Darwin at home with his deeply religious wife, Emma.
“Darwin held back the publication of On the Origin of Species to avoid offending (觸怒) his wife,” says Ruth Padel, the naturalist’s great – great – granddaughter. “Emma told him that he seemed to be putting God further and further off”, Padel says in her north London home. “But they talked it through, and Emma once said, ‘Don’t change any of your ideas for fear of hurting me.’”
As the world celebrates the 200 th birthday of the man who changed scientific thought forever and the 150 th anniversary of his book today, even his opponents admitted he was a giant figure.
Though opposition to his theory continues, it is the elegant explanation of how species evolutes through natural selection that makes his 200th birthday such a major event.
More than 300 celebrations have been planned in Britain alone, where Darwin's face graces (使增光)the 10-pound bill along with that of Queen Elizabeth II.
Shrewsbury, the central England town where Darwin was born and raised, is holding a month-long festival for its most famous son. Down House, his former home near London, will hold a permanent exhibition recreating some of his most famous experiments.
Many more events have been planned all over the world.
What would he be doing if he were alive today? Padel thinks he would properly be studying DNA and the immune system.
60.The main purpose of the author is .
A.to say something about Darwin and his wife
B.to introduce Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution
C.to sing high praise for the book On the Origin of Species
D.to report some celebrations of Darwin’s 200 th birthday and the 150 th anniversary of his books
61.Which of the statements is NOT true based on the passage?
A.Everyone agrees with Darwin now.
B.Darwin was brought up in Shrewsbury.
C.Emma was not really fond of his theory.
D.Darwin was very interested in living things.
62.The underlined phrase “help back” in the second paragraph probably means .
A.prevented from B.kept a secret
C.cared about D.put off
63.It can be inferred that the passage is most probably .
A.a(chǎn) scientific report B.a(chǎn) news report
C.a(chǎn)n English composition D.a(chǎn) text

I went into Harrods in London (a huge department store I am sure you have heard of) to buy some Minton china plates for a wedding anniversary which was to be a group gift from friends to other friends in Geneva.
Having only 30 minutes between meeting. I whizzed there in a taxi from the office and battled through the milling people on the 2nd day of the sales on the ground floor up to the 5th to the china department. There was a man standing there who was obviously a sales person who I rushed up to and asked if he had this particular china in stock and if it would take long to wrap, etc. He was amazing. He got the plates in seconds, wrapped them up and asked me if I wanted a store card, to which I replied no, because I lived in Switzerland, to which he replied asking if, as I lived abroad, would like a tax rebate form(退稅表). After that he showed me what to do, produced a map of the store and told me where I should go for the formalities(程序). That was fabulos! I thanked him and said what wonderful service he had given me. I even asked if he gave this to everyone, to which he answered: “I’m just doing what is required at Harrods”. With that, a tall man in a grey suit approached me and offered his hand to shake mine saying, “Can I introduce myself? I am the Chief Executive of Harrods and what an interesting conversation I have just heard…” He had been wandering through the store (as you should do as a hands-on CEO) and had overheard me thanking this salesman, whose face, I can hardly
describe, was frozen in a mixture of delight awe and astonishment!
Can you imagine the salesman going home to his family and friends recounting what the CEO spoke to him after overhearing him being praised by a customer?

A. kill time B. buy some gifts C. go sightseeing D. shop for her wedding
