The history ofpop art begins with abstract art. Pop art emerged from the foundation of abstract art in the 1950s, first gaining recognition in Great Britain, then establishing itself in the United States in the 1960s.

In the 1930s and 1940s, abstract art was greatly popular, but people began to hate this art form. Most abstract art produced in this era could be found in art galleries or the homes of the elite(名流), not in the homes of everyday people. Pop art sprung onto the scene as the people's art.

Some art critics say pop art is a rebellion against abstract art; others say it is an extension of abstract art. You can see elements of abstract art in many pop art prints, especially those that consist of a collage（拼贴画）of images. However, some pop art pieces have nothing to do with abstract art, looking more like a photo of a popular consumer item, which impressed people deeply.

Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were two of the first contemporary pop art pioneers recognised in Great Britain. They were a part of the Independent Group, an organised group of British artists who wanted to challenge ruling modernist approaches to culture. They recognised the value of modern advertising and comic book images. They used these popular images in art as a social commentary, often building irony and humour into their artworks, thus creating a new form of art. These pieces were mass-produced and sold at affordable prices.

When pop art took off in the United States, it expanded to include a celebration of kitsch and the common images found in movies and television. Andy Wharhol is perhaps the most famous American pop art artist, known for his prints of the actress Marilyn Monroe, the singer Elvis Presley and of Campbell's soup cans. Andy Wharhol was inspired by images from advertisements and common consumer items. He also made a series of paintings which showed images of car accidents. 1. Why did people dislike abstract art?

A. People found it hard to understand. B. Ordinary people couldn't afford it. C. People disliked enjoying it in galleries. D. It wasn't based on everyday life. 2. What impression do pop art works leave on people?

A. They are a rebellion against abstract art. B. They have many elements of abstract art. C. They are created so real. D. They are products of advertisers.

3. The Independent Group was set up to ________.

A. introduce a new art form to the world B. develop modern advertising further C. create new comic book images D. make British culture better known

B

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.

In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.

Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck. 4. What’s the purpose of the author’s research? A. To discover what luck means to people. B. To find lucky people and unlucky people. C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck. D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.

5. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment? A. There was too much information to be read in detail.

B. They were too focused on looking for photographs. C. It took too much time to go through newspapers. D. The words were too small to be noticed. 6. What leads to lucky people’s good fortune?

A. Their ability to spot opportunities. B. Their ability to become relaxed. C. Their ability to communicate. D. Their ability to make friends. 7. What’s the key message of the last paragraph? A. What lucky people are looking for. B. How lucky people generate good luck. C. What lucky people can do with opportunities. D How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.

Italy's fashion capital is gray — not only because of the blocks of stone buildings，but also due to its often-gray sky, which traps pollution. ButMilannow wants to change it.

The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a smallisland of greenery in the heart ofMilan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.

“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.

Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the greenMilanproject will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show thatMilanexperiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to theAlps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. \"Planting trees will help this,\" Di said.

TheVerticalForesthas attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. TheVerticalForest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved. 8. What change doesMilanplan to make?

A. Planting more trees. B. Creating a new fashion style.

C. Pulling down more gray stone buildings. D. Doing more surveys to study global wanning. 9. What's Boeri's opinion on the city's plan? A. It costs a lot. B. It is unpractical.

C. It fails to attract people's attention. D. It is helpful to fight against climate change. 10. What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned. 11. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Specifics of the city's plan. B. Challenges faced by the city. C. The aim of theVerticalForestproject.

D. The positive effect of theVerticalForestproject.

Ivy League schools are considered to be the most prestigious of all colleges in the United States. These schools are primarily located in the Northeastern part of the country. There are eight total colleges that are considered to be Ivy League. These schools are Brown, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Columbia universities and the University of Pennsylvania. Of all institutions of higher learning, these elite schools are considered to be the most outstanding and the most sought-after in terms of acceptance and graduation.

The term “Ivy League” came about in 1954 when the NCAA athletic conference for Division I was formed. At the time, the elitism of these schools was really due to their prestige in the realm of sports like basketball. Although the term “Ivy League” was not created until the 1950s, many of these schools were in existence as far back as 1636, when John Harvard became the first benefactor of Harvard University.

Although this group of elite schools is considered to be part of one big league of the elite, there have been plenty of internal rivalries over the years. The sports that these colleges play were so popular that some teams began playing games in New York City so spectators could come from far away and watch the games. The

popularity of both the athletes who played and the college team rivalries brought in a good deal of attention to the schools as well as revenue from ticket sales. There have also been academic rivalries between schools. Mostly, these rivalries are a matter of opinion in terms of which school has the most honor graduates, which schools offer the most prestigious scholarships, and what famous graduates have come from each school.

Each Ivy League college has its own unique accomplishments that make it important. All carry a certain reputation with them, and each school has programs that excel primarily in the medical and law fields, making them some of the most sought-after schools in the world. Their admission process is very selective, which helps the schools ensure that they only accept the best and brightest. Many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools, including recent presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. This prestige leads many to believe that these colleges are only for the wealthy and elite. Often, companies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees, usually preferred by law firms, medical facilities, and large corporations. It has long beencovetedto have earned a degree from an Ivy League school. Today, the Ivy League schools are still excellent in both academia and in sports, and they have left a legacy of higher education with an exceptional track record and reputation to go along with them.

12. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Ivy League schools were initially famous for their reputation in sports. B. Ivy League schools didn’t come into existence until the 1950s. C. Ivy League schools do not compete with each other within the league.

D. Ivy League schools are most popular for their excellence in the medical and law fields. 13. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. The history of the Ivy League B. The rivalry of the Ivy League

C. The accomplishments and cultural impacts of the Ivy League D. The future development of the Ivy League

14. Why do many people believe that Ivy League colleges are only for the wealthy and elite? A. Because they are the most sought-after schools in the world.

B. Because they have selective admission process to help ensure the quality of their students. C. Because many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools. D. Because manycompanies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees. 15. What does the underlined word “coveted” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. advocated B.Desired C. restricted D. sponsored

Thank you for invite me to the summer English course in your school. As for your choice between the two courses, I prefer a four-week course because it will give me more time to do some traveling and make a few new friends. Of all the subject I’m learning at school, I like English best. I had learned English for 6 years but my spoken

English remains poorly. So I hope to take this chance improve it. If possible, I’d like to stay with a family for a few days in order that I can learn about any customs in England, what I’m particularly interested in. I believe I will have a wonderful time in this summer. 第二节书面表达（满分25分）

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One morning, Joey sat at the kitchen table and read the sports page of the paper. He heard his grandfather coming down the stairs. When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn't his usual happy self.

\"Morning, Grandfather,” he smiled. His grandfather sat across the table, looking sad. He didn't pick up the paper to read. Instead, he asked, \"Joey, is anything happening in town today? \" \"There's a ball game between Sequoyah Middle School and my school tonight. Would you like to go? \" Joey told him.

Joey felt bad for his grandfather. He knew he couldn't read. His grandfather had told him often, \"I didn't have the chance to go to school regularly. Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read.\"

One day Grandfather asked Joey, “Joey, would you go with me to the grocery store? I need several things.” In the store, Joey’s grandfather walked up and down the aisles (过道), looking at all the pictures on the cans. He saw a can without a picture on it. \"What's in that can?\" he asked Joey, reading the label, said \"It's a can of chicken soup.\" His grandfather walked to the meat counter but he couldn't read the prices or the labels. Finally, Grandfather gave Joey the grocery list and stepped out of the store. \"I will meet you at the car,\" he said. Joey watched him go through the door, and he thought, I wish I could help him out but I wouldn't know where to begin and how to start.

The next day was Sunday. Joey went to the library to look through some books when he saw a sign on the library wall. It read, \"Do you know somebody who can't read? We can help. Just call this number. \" Joey wrote the number down, and hurried home \"Somebody can teach you how to read. Just call this number. \" Joey explained excitedly to his grandfather.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。

Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school.

Months later, Grandfather said to Joey, \"I just got a letter from Aunt Helen and let me read it you.\"
