　　经典语篇

　　假如你是一名中学生，一个名叫杰克的美国交换生来中国过暑假。你邀请他去你所在的城市参观国画画展，可他不想去。因为他不知道如何去欣赏和理解中国画。请你写一封电子邮件建议他跟你一起去。词数100左右。

　　佳作欣赏

　　Dear Jack，

　　I just saw an advertisement for a special free exhibition of Chinese art at the Beijing International Exhibition Center.It’s not far from your hotel，so I think that after dinner we could walk to the center and that you could get to know a little about Chinese art ①.

　　The exhibition has been organized especially for the Olympic Games in Beijing so there are some volunteers to help explain the art to visitors.In front of the center there is a club② where many people from around the world often gather together to talk about art③. After we go to the exhibition，we could go there for a cup of coffee④，get to know a little more about art around the world and maybe make friends.I hope it will be a special experience for us.I’m looking forward to it，since I really don’t know much about Chinese art myself，except that there are four basic kinds of Chinese paintings: figures，landscapes，flowers and birds，and folklore.So you see—you don’t have to worry that you’re not familiar with Chinese art.That doesn’t mean you can’t understand pictures—remember，art crosses cultures!

　　I hope you’ll join me at the exhibition and experience some of China’s great art on your last day in China.I’m sure you’ll find it’s worth the time.

　　Regards，

　　Yang

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Is there clear boundary between science and the liberal arts as a major for college students？The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either­or proposition(命题)，although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM(science，technology，engineering，maths)­related fields can make it seem that way.

　　The latest congressional report not only acknowledges the critical importance of technical training，but also stresses that the study of the humanities(人文学科) and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels.Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society，become innovative(创新的) leaders，and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.

　　Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects(前景) as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs.Under this circumstances，it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem.“Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some，though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often，in fact，lead to employment and success in the long run.Indeed，according to surveys，employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly­based education that has taught them to write well，think critically，research creatively，and communicate easily.

　　Moreover，students should be prepared not just for their first job，but for their 4th and 5th jobs，as there is little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers.The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible.The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science，arts，and technology—to solve the problems of the future，and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves，will be helpful to them and the United States.

　　1．What does the latest congressional report suggest?

　　A．Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.

　　B．The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.

　　C．STEM­related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.

　　D．The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The latest congressional report not only acknowledges the critical importance of technical training，but also stresses that the study of the humanities(人文学科) and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels.”可知人文学科和社会学科应具有同样重要地位，故选D。

　　2．What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?

　　A．They are essential to students’ healthy growth.

　　B．They improve students’ communication skills.

　　C．They broaden students’ range of interests.

　　D．They benefit students in their future life.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘Major in a subject designed to get you a job’ seems the obvious answer to some，though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as ‘soft’ often，in fact，lead to employment and success in the long run.”可知这样的课程有利于学生的未来生活，故选D。

　　3．What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?

　　A．The academic value of the courses.

　　B．Their interest in relevant subjects.

　　C．Their chances of getting a good job.

　　D．The quality of education to receive.

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章的第三段“Major in a subject designed to get you a job.”可知选C。

　　4．What advice does the author give to college students?

　　A．Try to take a variety of practical courses.

　　B．Prepare themselves for different job options.

　　答案　B

　　解析　推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段可知多学些功课有利于孩子将来的谋生，故选B。

　　B

　　In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

　　It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.

　　At the same time，the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.

　　Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little­known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

　　Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.

　　A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

　　5．What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?

　　A．To bring Europe together again.

　　B．To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.

　　C．To introduce young theatre groups.

　　D．To attract great artists from Europe.

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句指出：“The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.”，即：(人们创设爱丁堡音乐节的)想法是为了重新联合二战后的欧洲。因此，正确答案为A项。

　　6．Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?

　　A．They owned a public house there.

　　B．They came to take up a challenge.

　　C．They thought they were also famous.

　　D．They wanted to take part in the festival.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。由第三段第二句“Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform...”可知八个剧团不请自来的原因是他们认为每个人都应有权利来音乐节上参加表演。

　　7．Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared?

　　A．Popular writers.

　　B．University students.

　　C．Artists from around the world.

　　D．Performers of music and dance.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。第三段和第四段提到很多大学生参加了爱丁堡音乐节，所以答案为B项。

　　8．We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival

　　.

　　A．has become a non­official event

　　B．has gone beyond an art festival

　　C．gives shows all year round

　　D．keeps growing rapidly

　　答案　D

　　解析　推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“...has far outgrown the festival...some said it was getting too big.”及文章最后一段中的“...eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.”可知爱丁堡音乐节发展迅速，其规模不断变大。

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　28

　　reveal much about the quality of the work.”
