Around his early twenties he decided to become an artist. He felt that color was his main influence and he used it to express himself. The way he painted was very unusual during the late 1800s because he paid much attention to colorful abstract art. Van Gogh had many paintings that have changed the way we look at art. His paintings weren’t popular during his lifetime because of an illness that was possibly a mental disorder. However, they are now considered to be the most popular forms of art in the world today. In what ways can we appreciate his paintings?‎ Learn about the artistic style of expressionism. In Van Gogh’s artwork, the style that he used was expressionism, which was the only one of this kind compared to other paintings.‎ Look for key symbols that would help you understand his artwork better such as the background of the objects.‎ Try to understand the artist’s aims. You can do this by watching the use of colors, perspectives, and the subject. Knowing the artist’s aims, you will be able to understand why he created the work.‎ Take what you have learned from the artwork and put it in your feelings to see how it affects you and is related to you. This will allow you to make a connection with the artist.‎ ‎24．The article is mainly about _____.‎ A． how we should appreciate Van Gogh’s paintings B． how Van Gogh expressed himself in paintings C． why Van Gogh wanted to become an artist D． why Van Gogh wasn’t famous in his lifetime ‎25．Van Gogh wanted to become an artist because _____.‎ A． his father was a famous artist B． he liked to express himself with color C． he had a serious mental illness D． he grew up in a religious culture ‎26．According to the passage, which of the following about Van Gogh is NOT true?‎ A． Expressionism was usually used to describe his work.‎ B． He was likely to have suffered from a mental disorder.‎ C． When he was alive, his artwork wasn’t popular.‎ D． Like many others, he focused on colorful abstract art.‎ ‎27．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A． Van Gogh’s paintings were difficult to understand.‎ B． Van Gogh’s illness helped him paint.‎ C． Only after death can painters become famous.‎ D． We can’t understand Van Gogh’s feelings from his artwork.‎ C Suppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.‎ Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horror and burn with shame.‎ What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to handle.‎ Clicking “send” too soon Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.‎ Writing the wrong time The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(I.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).‎ Clicking “reply all” unintentionally You accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.‎ Sending an offensive message to it’s subject The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity tic hear up any difficulties you may have with this person.‎ ‎28．After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.‎ A． curious B． tired C． awful D． funny ‎29．If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.‎ A． apologise in a serious manner B． tell the receiver to ignore the error C． learn to write the name correctly D． send a short notice to everyone ‎30．What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?‎ A． Try offering other choices. B． Avoid further involvement(参与).‎ C． Meet other staff members. D． Make a light-hearted apology.‎ ‎31．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A． Defining email errors. B． Reducing email mistakes.‎ C． Handling email accidents. D． Improving email writing.‎ D I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head．Now I am thirty two．I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is．It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity（灾难） can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind．I believe in life now． I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise．I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes．I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left．‎ Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was luck. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it --which I didn’t see, made me want to fight it out with blindness.‎ The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was basic．If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life．When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone．That is part of it．But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．‎ It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance．It had to start with the simplest ‎ things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball．I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt．"I can't use this．" I said．"Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around．" The words stuck in my head．"Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball．At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball．We called it ground ball．‎ All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time．I had to learn my limitations．It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．‎ ‎32．We can learn from the beginning of the passage that _______‎ A． the author lost his sight because of a car crash．‎ B． the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen．‎ C． the disaster made the author appreciate what he had．‎ D． the disaster strengthened the author's desire to see．‎ ‎33．What's the most difficult thing for the author?‎ A． How to adjust himself to reality．‎ B． Building up assurance that he can find his place in life．‎ C． Learning to manage his life alone．‎ D． How to invent a successful variation of baseball．‎ ‎34．According to the context, “a chair rocker on the front porch” in paragraph 3 means that the author __________‎ A． would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life．‎ B． would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair．‎ C． would lose his will to struggle against difficulties．‎ D． would sit in a chair and stay at home．‎ ‎35．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A． A Miserable Life B． Struggle Against Difficulties C． A Disaster Makes a Strong Person D． An Unforgettable Experience 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 36 Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 37 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.‎ ‎ 38 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 39 . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.‎ ‎ 40 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.‎ A．On the other hand, black is depressing.‎ B．They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up ---we are born with our preference.‎ C．The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.‎ D．If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.‎ E．Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.‎ F．Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.‎ G．Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it 第三部分 英语知识运用（百强校英语解析团队专供）（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Several decades of years ago, I ran a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide. One very cold, wet night at about 3∶30 a.m., there was a 41 on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from 42 to toe, explained that he had 43 out of petrol about 30 km up the road.
