　　Education plays an important role in the modernization of our country.Without a well-educated population，China will not be able to achieve its planned goals，to catch up with the more developed nations，or to greatly improve the living standard of its people.However，according to recent statistics，there are over 2 million school-age children who have dropped out of school.

　　To help those poor kids go back to school，money seems to be the biggest problem.Our government simply does not have enough money to help all those poor kids go back to school.And most parents of the school dropouts are unable to raise the money needed to give their children an education.

　　The Hope Project brings hope to the poor children.But we need more than a “Hope Project” based on the love and generosity of ordinary citizens.Only by realizing the importance of learning and knowledge and establishing a better-funded public education system can we guarantee the good education of all the children in China.

　　50．A.say

　　第三部分　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Five paintings by Picasso，Matisse and other great artists have been stolen from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris，French officials say.The paintings are estimated to be worth just under 100m euros (￡86m；D|S123m)．

　　They were taken overnight on Wednesday and reported missing early on Thursday，officials say.The museum，across the River Seine from the Eiffel Tower，has been cordoned off(戒严) by investigators.Security camera footage reportedly shows someone entering the museum through a window during the night.

　　“This is a serious crime to the heritage of humanity，” Christophe Girard，deputy culture secretary at the Paris Town Hall，told a news conference.

　　The theft was committed by “one or more individuals who were obviously organised”，Mr.Girard said.He added that investigators were looking into how the museum’s security system and several guards were outsmarted(用计谋打败) by the thief or thieves.

　　Mr Girard put the value of the stolen paintings at just under 100m euros (￡86m；D|S123m)．They had earlier been estimated to be worth some 500m euros (￡431m；D|S618m)．The five missing paintings are Dove with Green Peas by Pablo Picasso (painted in 1911)，Pastoral by Henri Matisse (1906)，Olive Tree near l’Estaque by Georges Braque (1906)，Woman with Fan by Amedeo Modigliani (1919) and Still Life with Candlestick by Fernand Leger (1922)．

　　None of these works has yet been recovered.Though there is often speculation that works have been “stolen to order” for dishonest collectors，experts in the field say that in reality this is very unusual.Investigators think that international criminal gangs use art works effectively as a form of currency.

　　56．When were the art masterpieces of the museum stolen according to the passage?

　　A．On Monday.

　　B．On Tuesday.

　　C．Overnight on Wednesday.

　　D．Early on Tuesday.

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的“They were taken overnight on Wednesday...”内容可知，是在周三一夜之间丢失的。

　　57．What were the investigators looking into?

　　A．How the thieves broke into the gate of the museum.

　　B．How the thieves succeeded in escaping the security system and the guards.

　　C．When the thieves broke into the museum.

　　D．How the masterpieces were taken away by the thieves.

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文中第四段的“He added that investigators were looking into how the museum’s security system and several guards were outsmarted by the thief or thieves.”内容可知，此处答案为B项。

　　58．Which of the following is in agreement with the text?

　　A．Five paintings by Picasso have been stolen from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.

　　B．The people were kept away from the museum by the investigators.

　　C．Christophe Girard is the culture secretary at the Paris Town Hall.

　　D．The theft was committed by only one thief.

　　解析：选B。 推理判断题。根据文中第二段的“The museum，across the River Seine from the Eiffel Tower，has been cordoned off by investigators.”内容可知，调查者将博物馆隔离起来。

　　59．The best title of the passage maybe is ________.

　　A．Art Experts Discuss the Stolen Masterpieces

　　B．The Five Stolen Masterpieces

　　C．The Experts Solved the Case

　　D．The Masterpieces stolen by the Thieves

　　解析：选A。主旨大意题。本文主要描述了艺术家对所丢失的艺术作品的讨论或分析。

　　B

　　Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.He experimented in many different styles and changed the world of art during his time.

　　Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga，Spain in 1881.His father was a drawing teacher.At 10 Pablo became his father’s pupil and at the age of 13 he held his first exhibition.

　　His family moved to Barcelona in 1895 where Pablo joined an art academy.In his early period the young artist painted life as he observed it around him—in cafes and on the streets.As a young man he took interest in masterpieces of famous artists like El Greco and de Goya.

　　At the turn of the century，Picasso went to Paris，which was，at that time，the centre of art and literature.

　　In 1901 a close friend of Picasso shot himself.This had a great impact_on Pablo.He was very sad and began painting his pictures in grey and blue tones instead of bright，vivid colours.This part of his career is called his Blue Period (1901～1904)．

　　Later on，he changed his painting style and started using more earth colours—rose，pink or brown.He liked to paint pictures of circus life with dancers and acrobats(杂技演员)．This Rose Period lasted until 1907.

　　When Picasso started working with his friend and fellow painter Georges Braque in Paris they started experimenting with a new style that was called cubism.

　　Picasso and Braque didn’t want to show nature as it really was.They thought that all objects in nature had geometric forms.In cubism，objects were cut into many flat shapes，which looked like a puzzle.All the sides of a person’s face，for example，were shown at once，maybe even with three eyes instead of two.Cubist painters wanted to show all parts of an object from one angle.

　　60．When did Pablo Picasso hold the first exhibition according to the passage?

　　A．In 1894.

　　B．In 1889.

　　C．In 1901.

　　D．In 1881.

　　解析：选A。 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga，Spain in 1881.His father was a drawing teacher.At 10 Pablo became his father’s pupil and at the age of 13 he held his first exhibition.”内容可知，是在1894年举行的第一次画展。

　　61．What caused his career of Blue Period?

　　A．He likes grey and blue tones instead of bright，vivid colours.

　　B．He was nearly shot by one of his closest friends.

　　C．He was sad for his loss of his best friends who died by suicide.

　　D．One of his best friends was shot by others.

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文中第五段的内容可知，因为毕加索的一个亲密的朋友用枪自杀，所以对毕加索的影响很大，造成了他的绘画生涯的蓝色时期(忧郁时期)。

　　62．Which of the following is in agreement with the description of the cubism?

　　A．In cubism，all the objects were shown as nature itself.

　　B．All objects in nature had not geometric forms according to the cubism.

　　C．Cubist painters wanted to show all parts of an object from different angles.

　　D．In cubism，objects were cut into many flat shapes，looking like a puzzle.

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。D项所述与文中第八段的“In cubism，objects were cut into many flat shapes，which looked like a puzzle.”相吻合。

　　63．The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means ________.

　　A．influence

　　B．affect

　　C．movement

　　D．affection

　　解析：选A。词义猜测题。此处表示“朋友的死亡对他的影响很大”。

　　C

　　Director Zhang Yimou said，“Some twenty years ago at a film festival，I saw their (the Coen brothers) directorial debut ‘Blood Simple’ which left me with a great impression.One day a curious idea stuck me: what would it be like if ‘Blood Simple’ was made as a Chinese story? That was how ‘A Woman，A Gun and A Noodle Shop’ began to take shape.”

　　In the film，Wang (Ni Dahong) is a gloomy and cunning noodle shop owner in a desert town in China.Feeling neglected，Wang’s wife (Yan Ni) secretly goes out with Li (Xiao Shenyang)，one of his employees.A timid(胆小的) man，Li reluctantly keeps the gun the landlady bought for “killing her husband later.” Every single move they make，however，does not escape the boss’s notice.Wang decides to bribe patrol officer Zhang (Sun Honglei) to kill the evil couple.It looks like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end...or so he thinks，but the equally wicked(顽皮的) Zhang has an agenda of his own that will lead to even more violence.

　　“A Woman，A Gun and A Noodle Shop” is a remake of the 1985 directorial debut of Joel and Ethan Coen，“Blood Simple.” Transposing the Coen Brother’s celebrated mix of dark humor and focusing suspense to China，the film is directed by Zhang Yimou (director of “The Red Sorghum”，“To Live”，“Hero”，“House of Flying Daggers” and many other masterpieces)，one of the most eminent directors of the “Fifth Generation.” This black comedy thriller is an exposé of how intense desires can consume humanity，and the irony that life never surrenders to our calculation.

　　Oscar-Bait.Noun.Definition: The term given to many late-year films with (supposed) A-list actors，all clamoring for attention by critics and voters in various organizations.

　　Here，I’ll use it in a sentence: “Rabbit Hole”，starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart and populated with many other actors all grieving about (因为……而困惑)their own issues，is Oscar-bait.

　　Based on the play and screenplay written by David Lindsay-Abaire，the film is about the aforementioned actors playing a married couple who are struggling，after eight months，to cope with the loss of their only child.Kidman rejects traditional means of therapy，family and support groups，in favor or handling things on her own.Eckhart is trying to be accommodating but is doing better at transitioning through the grieving process and is finding it harder and harder to connect with her.

　　Thematically(主题方面地)，it touches on many of the same issues in “Welcome to the Rileys” which lost all of its early buzz，wasn’t sent out to critics via screenings or a DVD screener，and barely made a dent in the public psyche.That’s a shame because if I’m picking one of these two films to highlight the difficulty in moving on after the death of a child (both to car accidents)，I’m not going down the “Rabbit Hole”．

　　The performances，both leading and supporting，are all fine.Kidman is good early on，when being confrontational and spiteful，but fails to turn the corner towards the end (I’ve never believed in her attempts to play softer or warmer characters)．And Eckhart does a nice job，but I feel like I just saw him handle many of these same emotions in last year’s “Love Happens”，only he gets to shout a lot more here.

　　68．What can we learn about the term Oscar-Bait from the passage?

　　A．It is a noun word used to describe the famous film actors.

　　B．It is a noun term given to late-year films with A-actors asking for attention.

　　C．It is used to attract the attention of the critics and the voters.

　　D．It is used to describe only the film “Rabbit Hole”．

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，“奥斯卡诱饵是一个形容需要引起关注的具有A级演员阵容的年末电影”。

　　69．What is TRUE about the film “Rabbit Hole”？

　　A．David Lindsay-Abaire and Nicole Kidman play the married coulple in it.

　　B．David Lindsay-Abaire was starred in the film.

　　C．The only child of the married couple in the film was lost.

　　D．The film is based on the screen-play by Aaron Eckhart.

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第三段的“...the film is about the aforementioned actors playing a married couple who are struggling，after eight months，to cope with the loss of their only child.”内容可知，影片中已婚夫妇的儿子丧生。

　　70．Which of the following is in disagreement with the passage?

　　A．“Rabbit Hole” and “Welcome to the Rileys” have the same issues in some way in the themes.

　　B．The child in “Rabbit Hole” and “Welcome to the Rileys” both die of some natural cause.

　　C．The leading and supporting performance of the film “Rabbit Hole” are good.

　　D．In the opinion of the author，Kidman doesn’t perform any well.

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段的“...it touches on many of the same issues in “Welcome to the Rileys” which lost all of its early buzz，wasn’t sent out to critics via screenings or a DVD screener，and barely made a dent in the public psyche.”内容可知，两部电影在主题方面从某种程度上说阐述了同样的主题。

　　71．How many films were mentioned in the text?

　　A．Three.

　　B．Five.

　　C．Four.

　　D．Two.

　　解析：选A。 细节理解题。根据全文内容来看，一共提到了三部影片，即Rabbit Hole，Welcome to the Rileys和Love Happens。

　　President Obama will address a joint sitting of the Australian

　　parliament this week on a visit that marks the 60th anniversary of the military alliance between Canberra and Washington.The ANZUS (Australia，New Zealand，United States) treaty was signed in September 1951，at the height of the Cold War.

　　Successive governments in Canberra have insisted that the alliance(联盟) is fundamental to Australia’s long-term security.

　　In September，Hillary Clinton led the official celebrations of a treaty that has secured the security of Australia，which has become one of America’s most loyal allies.“We have come to San Francisco to celebrate 60 years of the U．S.-Australia alliance in the place where it was born back in 1951，” she said.

　　No other country has contributed troops to fight alongside the United States in each of its major conflicts since World War Ⅰ.

　　Although President Obama’s visit to Canberra and Darwin is expected to strengthen this long friendship，Geoffrey Garrett，the head of the United States Studies Center at the University of Sydney，says it is also likely to mark a decisive shift in U．S.diplomacy.

　　Garrett believes that Australia is assuming a greater role in regional trade and security.

　　“American leaders often say that the U．S.has no better friend in the world than Australia，” he stated.“I_think_that_is_true_because_Australia_is_the_most_important_U．S.partner_in_putting_the_trans-Pacific_free_trade_agreement_together_and_military_collaboration_and_cooperation_between_Australia_and_the_U．S.is_more_open_and_at_a_higher_level_than_I_believe_with_any_other_country_in_the_world，with_the_possible_exception_of_the_United_Kingdom.”

　　72．What symbolizes the 60th anniversary of the military alliance between Australia and America?

　　A．A joint sitting.

　　B．The ANZUS treaty.

　　C．Obama’s visit to Australia.

　　D．Obama’s address.

　　A．it began from 1951 when the Cold War was at its height

　　B．Obama led the formal celebrations of the alliance in September of this year

　　C．the previous and present governments in Canberra have realized the significance of the alliance

　　D．it has assured the security of Austrailia，being one of America’s most loyal allies

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。由文中第三段的内容可知，带领官方庆祝活动的是希拉里而不是奥巴马。

　　74．According to Garrett，we can learn that________.

　　A．Australia is playing a more important part in regional trade and security

　　B．Obama’s visit to Australia is aimed to enhance the friendship and to mark a decisive shift in U．S. diplomacy

　　C．Australia has become the best ally in the world of America

　　D．Obama’s visit to Canberra and Darwin likely marks a critical turn in US diplomacy

　　解析：选B。推理判断题。由文中第五段内容可知，奥巴马的澳大利亚之行既是对两国友谊关系的巩固也是外交政策的转变。

　　75．From the underlined words in the passage we can infer that________.

　　A．America relies on Australia’s support in every area

　　B．the close relationship between the two is more secret

　　C．the UK is another ally of America as faithful as Australia

　　D．Australia is more faithful than the UK in allying with America

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。文中划线部分提到“...Australia and the U．S.is more open and at a higher level than I believe with any other country in the world，with the possible exception of the United Kingdom.” 由此可知，澳大利亚与美国的联盟比与世界上其他任何国家都更加公开也更高级，可能英国除外。故C项正确。

　　Yours truly，
