Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand -

20、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 experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, o

21、ut of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should 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

22、 of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in i

23、t. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint gangrenous 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 some

24、thing, emphasizing somethingall of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. (本题分数：10 分。)(1).It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because_ （2 分）A、most painters do not express themselves well B、 a painter uses unusual words and phrases C、 a painter uses shape

25、s and colors instead of words D、many painters do not say anything (2).An artists choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be _（2 分）A、 meaningful in themselves B、merely beautiful C、a reflection of his experiences D、worth looking at (3).The writer says that contemporary artists m

26、ight say their choice of subject _. （2 分）A、carries a message to the public B、only provides interesting patterns C、has no pattern of form D、 teaches the public important truths (4).The writer says that contemporary art contains _. （2 分）A、nothing but meaningless patterns B、 uninteresting aspects of th

27、e world C、subjects chosen partly for their meaning D、completely meaningless subjects (5).The passage implied that_. （2 分）A、A painting is more easily understood than a symphony B、Art is merely the arranging of shape and color C、Every artist tries to say something to the public D、 One must look beyond

29、isaster area. How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some 75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.Were t

30、he Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof buildings, transportatio

31、n, and public services. Kobe's few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief.What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the fol

32、lowing. More work should be put into quake-proofing buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquake strikes.The major barrier

33、 to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake.

What is the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage? （2 分）A、People are not given en

35、ough training B、Engineers do not have the knowledge C、Protection is too costly D、No one takes earthquakes seriously (4).The author's attitude in writing this passage is _.(Only paragraph 1 is chronological!) （2 分）A、analytic B、blaming C、 provocative D、indifferent (5)."Tremors" probably

37、organization.As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best techniqu

38、e in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to

39、rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Sur

40、geons.

42、 分）A、realistic B、distinguished C、 perplexed D、decisive (5).When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed because _. （2 分）A、 she didnt perform enough operations B、some operations were unsuccessful C、she didnt get advice from the selection committee D、she was doubtful about her operations 4.Are yo

43、u planning a vacation? If you like hot and extremely dry summers, go to Phoenix, Arizona. For hot temperatures but lots of rain and thunderstorms, try Miami, Florida. If you want average temperatures and rainfall, St. Louis, Missouri, is the spot. Or if you're a cold weather fan, head to Fairban

44、ks, Alaska. Its winters are very cold with little precipitation. Each of these cities has a certain type of weather. The average weather for a place over many years is called climate, and in no two places in the world is it exactly the same. How can this be?Many things in nature, such as sunshine, t

45、emperature, and precipitation, affect climate. Nearness to mountain, oceans, and large lakes affects it too. Another factor is altitude, or height above sea level. Air cools as altitude increases. So a city at a higher altitude may be colder than one at a lower altitude. Finally, winds affect climat

46、e. They move heat and moisture between the oceans and continents. Winds keep the tropics from overheating. They keep the polar regions from getting overly cold.Climate changes over long periods of time. Some scientists think, for example, that the earth's climate changed at the time of the dinos

47、aurs. They think the dinosaurs died because of the change. What causes a climate to change? One possible cause may be changes in the sun. Sunspots, for example, are cool, dark spots that form on the sun. Sunspots may decrease precipitation on the earth and cause unusually dry periods. Changes in the

48、 atmosphere may change climate too. Volcanic eruptions, for instance, release solid particles into the air. These particles may form a cloud that blocks out the sun's heat. Human activity is another cause of climate change. Air pollution and the reduction of forest cover may have long-term effects on climate. (本题分数：10 分。)(1).This passage is concerned with things that affect
