12、 followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there 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 s
13、omething to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants 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 ma
14、ke out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences 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
15、work we would never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or 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
16、 worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists 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
17、chooses to paint an injured leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of 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
18、. 16 Without the artists work, the public would not_. （ A） notice particular 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_.
19、（ A） calm （ B） moving （ C） delightful （ D） worth looking at 18 Contemporary 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 contempora
20、ry art contains （ A） nothing meaningful （ B） uninteresting aspects of the 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 ski
21、lled （ C） pointing to something different （ D） communicating less 20 When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetti
22、ng situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and t
23、hen he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very yo
24、ung, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it. If you look at children, youll see great difference between what we call “bright“ children and “notbright“ children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different
25、 amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life: he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world; there seems to be a wall between him and life in general. 21 According to this
26、passage, intelligence is_. （ A） the ability to study well （ B） the ability to do well in school （ C） the ability to deal with life （ D） the ability to get high scores on some tests 22 In a new situation, an intelligent person_. （ A） knows more about what might happen to him （ B） is sure of the resul
27、t he will get （ C） concentrates on what to do about the situation （ D） cares more about himself 23 If an intelligent person failed, he would_. （ A） try not to feel ashamed （ B） learn from his experiences （ C） try to regret as much as possible （ D） make sure what result he would get 24 Bright childre
28、n and not-bright children_. （ A） are two different types of children （ B） are different mainly in their degree of cleverness （ C） have difference only in their way of thinking （ D） have different knowledge about the world 25 The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about_. （ A） how
29、to determine what intelligence is （ B） how education should be found （ C） how to solve practical problems （ D） how an unintelligent person should be taught 26 Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. (76) It was not until in my late thirties that I made this impo
30、rtant discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I m
31、ade about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed t
32、o me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postma
33、ster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard (无意中听到 ) our conversation. “Wasnt it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?“ I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You dont know w
34、hat a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.“ 26 From the passage, we understand that _. （ A） the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties （ B） the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers （ C） the
35、author received the same education as most people during his childhood （ D） the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting 27 According to the author _. （ A） giving means you will lack money （ B） the excitement of giving can bring you money （ C） you dont have to be ric

37、ing list （ B） he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation （ C） many people had applied for post-office boxes before him （ D） he asked the postmaster to make one for him 30 In reply to the postmasters question, the author said _. （ A） it was the special delivery （ B） it was the post-office box （ C
38、） it was the note of appreciation he wrote （ D） it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
