No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.‎ Landscape is another unchanging element (元素) of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17thcentury Dutch painters to the 19thcentury romanticists (浪漫主义艺术家 ) and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.‎ Besides, all art begs the ageold question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the CroMagnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.‎ Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or ‎ present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.‎ ‎21．The underlined word “poetry” most probably means ________.‎ A. an object for artistic creation B. a collection of poems C. an unusual quality D. a natural scene ‎22．Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because ________.‎ A. they are close in style to works in ancient times B. they look like works by 19thcentury painters C. they draw attention to common things in life D. they depend heavily on color photography ‎23．What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?‎ A. They express people’s curiosity about the past.‎ B. They make people interested in everyday experience.‎ C. They are considered important for variety in form.‎ D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.‎ ‎24．Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?‎ A. History of the arts.‎ B. Basic questions of the arts.‎ C. New developments in the arts.‎ D. Use of modern technology in the arts.‎ ‎ B ‎ Do you still remember your favorite poem from high school or some other important periods in your life？Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind？Probably the main reason is that some aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can touch the hearts of your teachers and students.‎ Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the human heart and soul.‎ As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected various parts of humanity (人性) from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement, “With this key mankind unlocked his heart.”‎ School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their teachers. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as repetitions can be used to take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create meaning and a culture of care and attention.‎ Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry—or even of some techniques of poetry—in school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for inspiration.‎ ‎25．Who is the passage mainly written for?‎ ‎ A. Students. B. Teachers. C. School leaders. D. Poets.‎ ‎26．What does the underlined part “this common need” in the second paragraph refer to?‎ ‎ A. The need to read poetry.‎ ‎ B. The need to be inspired.‎ ‎ C. The need to learn about the past.‎ ‎ D. The need to be connected with other people.‎ ‎27.The use of poetry or techniques of poetry in school leadership is in fact to make use of ______.‎ ‎ A. the power of language ‎ B. the power of school leaders ‎ C. people’s preference for poetry ‎ D. people’s desire for communication ‎28．What is the purpose of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To talk about the art of being a school leader.‎ B. To show readers that poetry is really powerful.‎ ‎ C. To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life.‎ ‎ D. To encourage using the power of poetry in school leadership.‎ C ‎  You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation, the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.‎ During the 20th century, sea level rose 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water.‎ Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.‎ Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.” Laupepa told the BBC.‎ Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.‎ Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.‎ ‎29．What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Rapid changes in earth’s temperature. ‎ B. Bad effects of global warming.‎ C. A country moving to a new place. ‎ D. Reasons for lowland flooding.‎ ‎30．According to scientists, what is the direct cause of more and fiercer storms?‎ A. Greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations.‎ B. Higher surface water temperatures of the sea.‎ C. Continuous global warming.‎ D. Rising sea levels.‎ ‎31．Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not ________.‎ A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions B. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US D. sign an agreement with Tuvalu ‎ ‎32．The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is ________.‎ A. Australia B. New Zealand ‎ C. the Maldives D. the United States ‎    ‎ D ‎ Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the top of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.‎ Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won’t miss the Pacaya-tour companies.‎ But climbing Pacaya is no easy job. It is 2,560 meters high, and reaching the peak takes two to three hours of almost one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you are near the active peak: the McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you were going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive peak.‎ Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the peak is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air.‎ ‎33．What is the main purpose of this passage?‎ A. To describe the beauty of Pacaya.‎ B. To attract guided tours to Pacaya.‎ C. To introduce the best time to visit Pacaya.‎ D. To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.‎ ‎34．Antigua is a city ________.‎ A. where people can enjoy cultural festivals B. where the challenging Pacaya tours start C. that gives a close-up view of Pacaya D. that is famous for its tour companies ‎35．Many tours are timed for people to ________.‎ A. get down the mountain in time when night falls B. avoid the smell from the upwind direction of the cone C. enjoy the fantastic eruption against the darkening sky D. appreciate the scenery of the 2,560-metre-high mountain 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。‎ ‎ Most of us will admit that on occasions we can be bad-tempered. This can be for a number of reasons.‎ ‎ 36 As the body and mind are tired, it seems to take us less time to become angry just because of something that is of little importance. Young children are usually the cause of tiredness and it is highly likely that parents allow themselves to release (释放) their exhaustion directly at the children. Children are very good at remembering these instances and it will affect them for a long time. 37 ‎ ‎ Diet and lifestyle can be key factors in causing a bad temper. Some people don't realize that their diet can directly affect their moods. Processed food and items that contain a lot of sugars, especially those that aren't natural sugars, can cause a rise in blood sugar. 38 Similarly, lifestyle choices can encourage bad tempers and poor moods, especially if drug and alcohol are used too frequently. 39 ‎ If you have noticed that you are becoming increasingly bad-tempered, it is important that you take steps to try and regain control. 40 After you find the cause, try and make positive changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.‎ A．Find your ways to release your anger.‎ B．Check what it is that causes the bad mood.‎ C．Tiredness is often the most common reason.‎ D．Managing your anger is good for your health.‎ E．Therefore, it is important to have more patience when with children.‎ F．This rise can have a very negative effect on moods and mental performance.‎ G．So it is important to keep away from these temptations (诱惑) for your own mental state.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用：完型填空 (共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30)‎ 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。‎ ‎ In a tiny room, Jenny was lying in bed waiting for an operation, nervous and worried. 41 , another patient was squeezed in.
