A
The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly（蜷曲的）hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn’t see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn’t stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
21．The aim of the mother’s plan was to __________.
22. What was the writer’s experience in the museum before the last visit?
A．She came to feel her mother’ s love.[来源:Z§xx§k.Com]
B．She liked many paintings.
C．She hardly enjoyed herself.
D．She could understand the pictures of fat babies.
23．What made the writer go through a change that summer?

Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working harder than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart（对应的事物） of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comfort and ease of life. What he loses to some degree is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.
Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly line（装配线）life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely （but less productive） old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life—joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a walk by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?
Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit（追求） of material gains. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the achievements of this competitive culture. At times, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.
In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.
28．Which of the following is a feature of the old French way of life?
29．Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?
A．Many of them prefer the modern life style.
B．They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.
C．They are more concerned with money than before.
D．They are more competitive than the old generation.
30．The passage suggests that __________.
A．great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen
B．it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a walk by the river
C．the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked apples
D．in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere
31．The main idea of the passage is “__________”.
D
It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠） and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.
Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids don’t develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism （自闭症） are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.
“Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.
“The fact that autistic kids don’t do it might mean they’re really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them, ” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others’," she added. "Autistic people never seem to understand that.”
Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.
32．According to the first two paragraphs, what does the new study suggest?
A．Yawning is a form of communication.
B．It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.
C．Children follow others in yawning just after they are born.
D．Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.
33．According to Molly Helt, __________.
A．humans differ from animals because they communicate with others
B．yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
C．emotions are infectious, but yawning is not
D．yawning helps clear ears on planes
34．Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?
A．It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.
B．Some kids are too young to yawn after others.
C．Yawning can be used to test children’s development.[来源:学科网]
D．Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.
35．The author implies in the last paragraph that __________.
A．yawning can make people feel relaxed
B．it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions
C．the more you yawn, the happier you will be
D．yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory

What is a big dream? 36 Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego （自我）. It’s there for protecting and should be listened to. 37 Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
38
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. 39 . In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. 40
A．Family and Friends.
B．How big Dreams Die.
C．Does a big dream show one’s future?
D．They simply fail until they succeed.
E．it is the last and the most terrible barrier.
F．Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong.
G．And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

【参考范文】
Dear Helen,
Thank you for your email. Now I would like to introduce Hunan TV popular show “Dad, where are we going” to you. In this programme, five star fathers and their children are invited to experience hardship in the countryside. Five fathers shoulder their responsibility for taking care of the children by themselves and complete missions as well. As a result, all of them have great changes in this programme. This TV show does not only bring us happiness, but it also makes us thoughtful.
In my opinion, it is a meaningful program which is to narrow the gap between father and children’s distance and enhance mutual feelings. As a matter of fact, fathers play essential roles in the children’s education. No matter how busy parents are, they should spend time with their children. “Parents are the first teachers of the children,” as the saying goes. They should set an example to the children, which is of vital importance in children’s growth.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
