第一节(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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Seven­year­old artist Kieron Williamson has sold his 16 watercolours for ￡17,000 in just 14 minutes, setting the world record for the youngest successful painter.

His latest paintings of landscapes, seascapes and churches were supposed to be on display for a month at the Picturecraft Gallery in Holt. They went on sale at 9 am but were bought by 9：14 am, some by telephone from abroad.

Kieron is red_hot. People are saying that he could become an all­time great artist. They want his paintings as investments (投资物) because they think the price will go up.

The last child artist was Picasso. And Kieron is getting better and better. The pace at which he learns is quite amazing. He has a very mature mind and has mastered certain techniques at an early stage which some artists would take years to perfect. His work has been very unusual and impressive. His use of tone, colour and light is wonderful. The way he gets his paintings to do the talking is extremely good. He just paints when he wants. He still likes playing football and playing computer games like any other seven­year­olds.

Inspired to start painting on a family holiday in Devon and Cornwall, Kieron was just six when he asked his parents for paper to draw a boat and swiftly developed a mature and confident talent for seascapes and countryside scenes that has been described as close to the "young Picasso"．

The talented boy described his show's sell out success as "brilliant"．"Painting is my favourite hobby but I like football as well，" said Kieron, who is so absorbed in painting that he is always drawing from getting up to going to school.

1．Kieron Williamson set the world record for the youngest painter by________.

A．selling his 16 watercolours for ￡17,000 in 14 minutes

B．drawing as many as 16 watercolours in 14 minutes

C．painting landscapes as a child of seven

D．earning the most money for 16 watercolours

2．The underlined words "red hot" here probably mean "________"．

A．in bright colour and high temperature

B．in high fever

C．very popular

D．very smart

3．What is Kieron's work like according to the text?

A．Strange.　　　　　　　　　B．Outstanding.

C．Ordinary. D．Common.

4．From the text we know that Kieron learned to paint ________.　

A．by himself B．from his parents

C．by copying Picasso D．from his teacher

B

We know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of reading a hard­copy book vs. reading electronically. The problem is, many of us refuse to listen.

Don't get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and over again about convenience. More points for digital reading：e­books tend to be cheaper. There's also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!

Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build e­readers are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.

Then, there's the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons are aesthetic(美学的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation("I can write on the pages"), and navigation("easy to locate where I was"). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain(眼疲劳) and headaches when using screens.

Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say "it's easier to focus". Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.

But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92% of those I surveyed said they concentrated best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it's hard to resist the temptation(诱惑)．

So if digital interruptions don't threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, there will be little harm done. But just don't expect to understand Joyce's novels this way.

5．What is an advantage of reading a hard­copy book?

A．It is cheaper.

B．It is easier to carry around.

C．It helps people think deeper.

D．It provides instant information.

6．What's the biggest problem of reading digitally?

A．Environmental concern.

B．Physical discomfort.

C．Lack of concentration.

D．Internet connection.

7．What's the author's attitude toward e­reading?

A．Supportive.　　　　　　B．Disapproving.

C．Optimistic. D．Unconcerned.

8．How is the passage mainly developed?

A．By analyzing possible reasons.

B．By providing typical examples.

C．By listing practical suggestions.

D．By presenting direct comparisons.

C

Does your local high school have a student newspaper?

Only 1 in 8 of New York's public high schools has student newspapers — and many of those are published just a few times a year. A few more are online, which can leave out poorer schools.

Rebecca Dwarka, an 18­year­old senior who works for her student paper, said, "Facebook is a new way of finding out what happened. Nobody wants to actually sit down and read a whole article about it, which makes a 'whole article' sound a little like a long sentence in lonely places."

I am not nostalgic (怀旧的) about high school student newspapers and never worked for mine. I put out what was then called a personal magazine with a group of friends because we wanted to write about peace, war, rock 'n' roll without school officials' warning us not to make jokes about the local officials.

School newspapers are in decline because students now find out what happened on social networking websites is a little discouraging because it proves that to millions of Americans, journalism is becoming a do­it­yourself thing. Every citizen can be a reporter.

When something happens, we look for social media messages as soon as they flash, too. Facebook posts and Tweets have become the means by which citizens and reporters can prove, deny, pass on stories and express opinions without the press's challenging, researching, or slowing the message.

But truly good journalism is a craft, not just a blog post. It requires not only seeing something carefully, but also reporting it with perspective. It uses an eye for detail to help prove a larger view. And even journalism that conveys an opinion strives (力求) to be fair. If school newspapers begin to disappear, I hope there are other ways for students to learn that.

9．We can infer from what Rebecca said that ________.

A．students like reading detailed articles

B．school newspapers are becoming unpopular

C．Facebook is the quickest way of spreading news

D．long sentences are becoming popular in lonely places

10．In the author's opinion, social media messages________.

A．make journalism become a craft

B．aren't based on careful research

C．reflect the power of small voices

D．are usually discouraging for readers

11．According to the author, good journalism should ________.

A．fairly convey an opinion

B．convey a message quickly

C．report news in detail

D．act as blog posts in modern times

12．What might be the most suitable title for the text?

A．Social media or newspaper?

B．Everyone can become a reporter at present

C．Social networking brings about new journalism

D．High school newspapers — an endangered species

D

More than 2,500 tiny glass jars — each containing brightly colored powders — line the walls of a museum at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.The pigment (颜料) samples make up the Forbes Pigment Collection.Art experts rely on the collection for an important scientific purpose — the colors act as standards to help them conserve and authenticate artists' paintings.

About a century ago, Edward Forbes, an art historian and art museum director at Harvard, noticed that the paint on some 14th­century paintings in his museum's collection was deteriorating.To figure out how to save the paintings, he realized he would have to learn more about the materials used to make their paint.

Today, people can buy paint in every color of the rainbow.But variety in paint colors — and the ability to purchase those paints at a store — wasn't always possible.For centuries, artists collected and crushed (碾碎) everything from shells to rare stones to create the pigments that colored their artworks.They also used metal oxides (氧化物)．

From 1910 to 1944, Forbes traveled the globe collecting powdered pigments.The samples helped art conservators understand how paint behaves on a chemical level.Paint might react to changes in light, temperature, or humidity, depending on its pigments' compositions.This can affect the colors of a painting over time or even cause paint to come off the painted surface.

Today, Narayan Khandekar, a senior conservation scientist at the Harvard Art Museums, is building on Forbes's work by adding newer, chemically made pigments to the collection.The collection also plays an important role in helping to stop counterfeiters (伪造者)．In 2007, experts compared pigments from the collection with those from a painting thought to belong to abstract artist Jackson Pollock.Chemical analysis showed that a red pigment in the painting was actually made 20 years after the artist's death, proving that the artwork was a fake.

13．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "deteriorating" in Paragraph 2?

A．Dropping off. B．Breaking down.

C．Cleared away. D．Gathered together.

14．What can be inferred about Edward Forbes?

A．He was good at chemistry.

B．He collected many pigments.

C．He created pigments by himself.

D．He repaired a lot of old paintings.

15．What may be the best title for the text?

A．Colorful collection

B．Looking for pigments

C．Every pigment has its own story

D．Edward Forbes and his collection
