11、 一 节 (共15小 题 ; 每 小 题 2分,满分30分 ) 阅 读 下 列 短 文 , 从 每 题 所 给 的 四 个 选 项 (A、 B、 C和D )中 , 选 出 最 佳 选项 。 A Travel Diary Wednesday: Belfasts newest attraction is a prison. It is only just open but it deserves a place in the top 10 prison visits in the world. A colleague who stayed there for political reasons s
12、howed me his former room. The inside story of some of the escapes added greatly to the visit Maybe, they could use former prisoners as guides. Thursday: Belfast was shining brightly in the sun as we took a tour which celebrates the musical heritage of the city. The music was played in the wron g ord
13、er-Van Morrison when it should be Francie Mcpeake, Ronnie Carroll when it should be Ruby Murray, but it all added to the experience. Friday: The roads to Dublin Airport were empty, giving a holidaymaker a false sense of comfort. The terminal(航 空 站 )was in a terrible mess. Flight EI151 had a very sma
14、ll number of tourists arguing loudly with each other and demanding passengers exchange seats so large groups could be together. We arrived into London Heathrow Terminal One. A nice woman guided me to the bus for Southampton. I set off to see a cruise(航 游 ) ship. Saturday: The cruise ships were big.
15、They lined up a series of three, Solstice, Equinox, Eclipse; They wanted us to think of them as sunny. This was the start of a new route to the Caribbean. Travel agents were lined up at the martini bar and there was a black-tie dinner to attend. But I didnt think it applied to me. 21. What did the a
16、uthor do on Wednesday? A. He visited a prison B. He worked as a guide C. He went to see a colleague D. He stayed with a former roommate 22. How does the author think about his trip from Dublin to London? A. Very nice B. Unpleasant C. Frightening D. Comfortable 23. On which day did the author attend
17、music performances? A. Wednesday B. Thursday C. Friday D. Saturday B To tell the truth, my house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个 人 身 份 号 码 ) to wear.
18、This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays
19、 it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console(控 制 台 ), a small machine
20、 that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for yo
21、u because you wear the PIN or hold the console. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better
22、 than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?“ 24 What does the passage mainly discuss? A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN. C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future. 25 Wh
23、at cant be done in the writers new house according to the passage? A. Turning on the lights. B. Going swimming. C. Getting a telephone call. D. Playing music. 26 The writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _ . A. it has your favorite music following you B. you can make a tel
24、ephone call anywhere C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice D. it has been controlled by computers 27 What is the writer most likel y to be according to the passage? A. An IT expert B. A famous doctor C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher C It is surprising that no one knows h
25、ow many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education
26、 while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital. Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across t he country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which adm
27、it children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special childrens hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a ho
28、spital teacherand that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number w
29、ork; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up whe
30、n parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and a
31、re told to catch up as best as they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed. 28 It can be inferred from the latest survey that . A. hospital teaching across the country is
32、similar B. each hospital has at least one part-time teacher D. only one-fourth of the hospitals have a full-time teacher 29 Hospital teachers are found . A. not welcomed by the children and their parents B. necessary C. not welcomed by the hospitals D. capable 30 To catch up with their school work,
33、children in hospital usually turn to _. A. hospital teachers B. parents C. schoolmates D. school teachers 31 We can conclude from the passage that the author is_ . A. unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals B. in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitals C. unsatisfie
34、d with the present state of hospital teaching D. satisfied with the results of the latest survey D Can you define great art? On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who d
35、ecides? These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing, for example, most critics considered them as hack (平 庸 的 ) writers with little or no literary ability. Similarly, Van Gogh and m
36、any of the other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the “real“ painters of the time, and often they were very poor. Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called “real
37、“ painters are now barely remembered. So what makes great art? Can, for example, rock music be great art? Music videos? Cartoons and comics? Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be the situa
38、tion today. Critics often dont recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. Popular works, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually But popularity, it seems to me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as
39、great. The other two are that it is groundbreaking, and that it is inherently (内 在 的 ) beautiful. Many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. But having all the three often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may t
40、ake a good spoonful of time, such as a century or two, to know for sure. 32 The first paragraph is intended to . A. lead to the following and arouse the readers curiosity B. introduce some real painters to the readers C. introduce the questions the writer wants to answer D. explain what kind of art
41、will become popular 33 The author used the examples of Shak espeare, Charles Dickens and Van Gogh to prove . A. these masters works have some shortcomings B. these masters wouldnt have been so successful without the critics C. truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created D. g
42、reat masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive 34 According to the author, great works . A. may be presented in different forms B. are generally valued by critics C. are thought valuable because of their sale price D. will lose their value if theyre not accepted 35 What can be inferred from the passage? A. Critics have changed their attitudes to great works. B. Most of the opinions of critics are valueless. C. The work of art itself, not the critics, determines its greatness. D. Works of Impressionist painters will be great one day.
