12、here are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wan
13、ts it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes that the public will listen and understand-he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experi
14、ences into shapes and colors, not words. (40) They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we would never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or
15、have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and stillness; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary arti
16、sts might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, and that there is nothing more in it, yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint an injured leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of
17、 them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something-all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 16 Without the artists work, the public would not_. （ A） notice partic
18、ular shapes or colors （ B） see the shapes and colors that express his experience （ C） feel his delight in shapes and colors （ D） all of the above 17 An artists choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be_. （ A） calm （ B） moving （ C） delightful （ D） worth looking at 18 Contempor
19、ary artists often think their choice of subject_. （ A） carries no message to the public （ B） has no pattern or form （ C） provides an interesting pattern （ D） teaches the public important truths 19 The author says that contemporary art contains （ A） nothing meaningful （ B） uninteresting aspects of th
20、e world （ C） subjects chosen partly for their meaning （ D） completely meaningless subjects 20 Compared with a painter of unpleasant subjects, a painter who draws a lake in moonlight is_. （ A） conveying more meaning （ B） more skilled （ C） pointing to something different （ D） communicating less 21 If
21、you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. (76) A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1974), concluded from other mens work and his own among people in different climates th
22、at climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. (77) He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. (78) It does m
23、ean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer. Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. (79) One reason may be that in spring mans mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature
24、. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be good time to take a long vacation from thinking. 21 According to this passage, your intelligence probably _. （ A） stays the same throughout the year （ B） varies from season to season （ C） changes with days （ D） changes from y
25、ear to year 22 Huntington based his conclusions on _. （ A） records of changes in his own intelligence （ B） work with peoples in different climates （ C） records of temperature changes （ D） all of the above 23 According to the passage, the cold of winter _. （ A） improves the ability to think （ B） is t
26、he best time for thinking （ C） is better for thinking than is very warm weather （ D） incerases the ability to think 24 One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that _. （ A） all nature, including man, is growing then （ B） it lasts longer than the other seasons （ C） it is not
27、too warm and not too cold （ D） all of the above 25 It seems that the two best seasons are _. （ A） spring and fall （ B） winter and summer （ C） summer and spring （ D） fall and winter 26 (78) Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing(裁判 )decisio
28、ns that denied victory, to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛 ) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees
29、were in charge. Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly
30、, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum(最佳的 )distance is about 20 meters. The
31、re also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup,
32、it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFAs insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their phys
33、ical condition is less critical. 26 The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _. （ A） analyse the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup （ B） analyse the causes of errors made by football referees （ C） set a standard for football refereeing （ D） reexamine the rules for football re
34、fereeing 27 The number of refereeing errors in the experimental match was _. （ A） slightly above average （ B） higher than in the 1998 World Cup （ C） quite unexpected （ D） as high as in a standard match 28 What does the findings of the experiment imply? （ A） Errors are more likely when a referee keep
35、s close to the ball （ B） The farther the referee is from the incident, the more the errors （ C） The more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur （ D） Errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot 29 The word “officials“ (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _. （ A） t
36、he inspectors of the football tournament （ B） the researchers involved in the experiment （ C） the referees of the football tournament （ D） the observers at the site of the experiment 30 It can be concluded from the experiment that _. （ A） the ideal retirement age for all experienced football referee
37、 is 45 （ B） age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee （ C） a football referee should be as young and energetic as possible （ D） an experienced football referee call do well even when in poor physical condition 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In th
