artists She was born in Pennsylvania in 1844 When she was a child， Mary and her family spent five years travelling and living in Europe Mary saw the great art museums， and she wanted to become an artist When she was seventeen， she said that she wanted to go to Paris to study art At that time people thought that only men could become painters It was not considered proper work for a woman Her father refused to let her study art Finally he said she could study it if she went to a school near their home She attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts At her graduation(畢業(yè) )in 1866， she again said that she had to go abroad to learn more about painting Her lather agreed to let her go At 22 she sailed for Paris She lived in France， but she went to other countries in Europe She spent a lot of time in museums She worked hard to improve her work She studied the famous paintings of the old masters， and she copied and sketched(畫素描 )for hours She found， though， that she g referred the new ideas used by a group of artists living in Paris They called themselves impressionists(印象派畫家 ) Like them Mary Cassatt tried to show real 1people and the real world Because these ideas were new， it took some years before people recognized(承認 )her as the great artist that she was 26 Mary Cassatt went to art school Dear home because_ A she did not have enough money to go away B she was frightened about leaving home C her father would not let her leave home D it was the best school 27 Mary Cassatt showed that she was serious about becoming an artist by_ A spending long hours painting B taking many trips to Europe C reading many art books D talking to older artists 28 From this passage we can learn that in the 1800s_ A all careers were open to women B some careers were not open to women C all women wanted to stay at home and have children D male artists welcomed female artists 29 We learn from the passage that Mary Cassatt became a great artist because she_ A came from a rich family B worked hard and never gave up C had good teachers D travelled in Europe B The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture， and this is shown in traditional dress You often find three colours red， gold and green in the clothing The first colour stands for(象征 )the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隸 )； the second is for the rich resources(資源 )of the African earth； and the third represents the grasslands of home Because clothing has a strong social meaning， people are very careful in choosing what to wear It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing， or to wear clothes in the wrong way， For example， in Ghana a woman should wear her waistband(腰帶 )differently according to the importance of the social event Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life African designs are famous for loose(寬松的 )clothing Tile climate， with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges(變化 )， requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life Although many people wear Western clothes， particularly in the big cities in Africa，traditional African dress is very highly valued This is because it has deep cultural meanings 30 The passage is mainly about_ A the history of clothes in Africa B modern fashion styles in Africa C the meanings of traditional dress in Africa D the materials used in traditional dress in Africa 31 According to the passage， red_ A represents the setting sun B stands for the African earth C is chosen because it is a bright colour D is a reminder of the sad history in Africa 32 Traditional dress should also be practical because_ A it needs to keep people dry in the rainy season B it needs to protect people from the climate C people wear it in the big cities D it has deep cultural meanings C The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle， Washington， in the United States It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans The coffee shop s business did well， and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle Things really began to change for the company in 1981 That year， Howard Schultz met the three men who ran(經營 )Starbucks Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers and he was curious about the company Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did， and he liked what he saw He wanted to become part of the company In 1982， the original(原先的 )Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company s head of marketing In 1983， Schultz travelled to Italy The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places： home， work， and coffee bars His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable， and customers everywhere seemed to like it Between 1987 and 1992， Starbucks opened 150 new stores and that was only the beginning In fact， by the year 2000， three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day! Today， Starbucks has thousands of stores， including stores in twenty-six countries One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants By working together with a store already in the city，Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right locations for their customers 33 What is the main idea of this passage? A How Starbucks has grown B What Starbucks makes C Starbucks customers D How Starbucks makes its coffee 34 Which is true about Starbucks first ten years of business? A It grew very quickly B It was run by Howard Schultz C It made special coffee makers D It was a small company 35 Who is Howard Schultz?

A Opening restaurants in just a few locations each year B Only selling locally produced coffee beans C working with other major coffee-making companies D Learning about local customers D When we talk about intelligence(智力 )， 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(表現 )， especially in a new 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 example， 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 be can， and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it He probably isn t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries And if he cannot make things work out right， he doesn t feel ashamed(羞愧 )that he failed， he just tries to learn from his mistakes An intelligent person， even if he is very young， has a special outlook(看法 )on life， a special feeling about life， and how he fits into it If you look at children， you ll see great difference between what we call“ bright” children and“ non-bright” children They are actually two different kinds of people， not just the same kind with different 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： he seems to have a wall between him and life in general 37 According to this passage， intelligence is the ability to_ A get some high scores on some tests B do well in school C deal with life D have a lot of book knowledge 38 In a new situation， an intelligent person_ A knows more about what might happen to him B is sure of the result he will get C cares more about himself D keeps his mind on what to do about the situation 39 If an intelligent person failed， he would_ A try not to feel ashamed B learn from his mistakes C try to find all he could D make sure what result he would get 40 Bright children and non-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 三、單詞拼寫 (共 10小題；每小題 1分，滿分 10分 ) 根據下列句子及所給漢語注釋，在答題卡上標有題號的橫線上，寫出空缺處各單詞的正確形式。每空只寫一詞。 41 My father was born in (五月 ) 42 They are (意識到的 )of the dangers 43 People (呼吸 )more slowly when they are asleep 44 A meeting was (舉行 )to discuss our future 45 Children learn (禮貌 )by watching their parents 46 You shouldn t leave a child (單獨 )in the house 47 Even though Jenna was speeding， the police let her go with a (警告 ) 48 They are (建造 )a new bridge over the river 49 Why do you think you did so (糟糕地 )in your test? 50 She looks (熟悉的 )to me， but I don t remember her name 四、句子翻譯 (共 5小題；每小題 3分，滿分 15分 ) 將下列句子譯成英語，并將所譯句子寫在答題卡上標有題號的橫線上。 51你覺得我的新自行車怎么樣 ? _ 52當我媽媽和我在一起時，我從不會感到無聊。 _ 53我希望我的所有學生都對英語感興趣。 _ 54這篇文章是以日記的形式寫成的。 _ 55請注意我下面要說的話。 _ 五、書面表達 (共 1題；滿分 20分 ) 假設某英文報“我愛寫作”欄目為了配合創(chuàng)建“學習型城市”，正在舉辦專題英語征文比賽。請你根據下表所列的內容要點，以“ Lifelong Learning”為題，用英語寫一篇短文，參加比賽。 終身學習的意義 1人們上學學習、參加考試，但學習不只在學校； 2學校畢業(yè)，不是學習的終止。 終身學習的途徑 去博物館、閱讀書籍、體育鍛煉、外出旅行 終身學習的益處 考生自擬 (至少一點 ) 注意： 1詞數 90左右。短文的開頭已
