A Little Imagination Makes a Difference
Susan had finished her homework and was going to paint a picture of the stairs. It was for a competition in
school the next day.
When her father reminded her it was almost time for bed, Susan said,“I’ll be quick but I wonder what color to
use?”
“Well, our stairs are brown” said her father.“Thanks, Dad.” said Susan. When she finished her picture, Susan
began playing with her brush which was still wet. Suddenly, she dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the
middle of her picture was a blob (污点) of brown paint!
“Oh, Dad! What shall I do?” Susan cried. “My picture is ruined. And it’s too late to paint another.”
“Let me see,” said her father. “The blob looks just like...”
“Wow, I have an idea!” cried Susan. She drew a dog around the blob of brown paint.
“Wonderful! You know, few things are as bad as they are seen at first. With a little imagination you can turn
bad into good.” said Susan’s father.
The next day Susan went to school early. When the competition began, Mr.King said, “I’ve chosen three
pictures, and I want you to say which one you like best.” The children did not like the first one. The next picture
was on black paper, but the stairs were red. So it was not so good. Then Mr. King showed the third painting. It was
Susan’s!
“The stairs are straight.” said Joe.
“Yes, and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper.” said Lucy. “The little dog seems to belong
there.” said Terry.
The children voted and Susan’s painting won.

We see space exploration updates in the news almost every week now. This is great for those who want a
future like in science fiction movies. On the other hand, some believe space exploration is not necessary because
there are a few reasonable cons to it. So, read further to see what the space exploration pros and cons (利弊) are.
It’s true that space exploration technologies are costly and consume many resources (资源). Only launching
space exploration satellites takes at least $ 40 million per launch and can go for as much as $400 million. Analyzing
some space exploration facts, we are aware that space exploring costs a lot. While the UN says $30 billion could
end world hunger, NASA is being offered a lot every year. And this is a good argument for those who are against
space exploration.
While space exploration is highly important for learning about who we are, some are worried about what it can
do to humanity. Countries can use their space crafts and satellites to collect information about other countries
they’re in conflict (冲突) with. Obviously, this can lead to tensions between countries and eventually to wars.
Another issue that space exploration brings is that it causes a great danger for astronauts. NASA mentions in
第5页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司an article how damaging cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射) is for the human body because it can damage the nervous
system both badly and in the long run. Besides, cosmic radiation sickness causes extreme tiredness, nausea (恶心),
anorexia, and vomiting. From this point of view, space exploration does put our astronauts at great risks. However,
preventive measures are taken, and their health is kept in check through intensive training and daily checkups.
While all previously mentioned observations are very good and make great points, space exploration still has
more benefits than negative effects. It allows us to develop our technologies, which are already advanced thanks to
space exploration. Moreover, by exploring space, we can discover new resources that we could use to better our
lives here on Earth. And another thing is certain as well: we couldn’t build a better future for our children without
space exploration.
27. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A. To prove NASA spends too much money.
B. To raise more money for space exploration.
C. To show space exploration is highly important.
D. To stress the disadvantage of space exploration.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Space exploration can lead to wars between countries.
B. Cosmic radiation can cause totally physical pain to astronauts.
C. The problem of world hunger can be solved by space exploration.
D. Through space exploration we can give our children a better future.
29. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. it is necessary to explore space
B. cosmic radiation is harmful to astronauts
C. it is easy to discover new resources on Earth
D. space exploration costs $400 million every year

Some parents and some students feel that the study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to
students, particularly if they are second language learners of English. However, there are still good reasons for the
study of English literature.
Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature, especially if they
have no plans to study English or translation at university. But English literature can introduce students to many
aspects (方面), not only the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.
There are aspects of English culture that summarized by English literature. Of course,this is quite evident (明
第6页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司显的) when we are studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers, poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. It is, however, also true when we are studying other works of English literature. Students can
learn about good stories and references to different aspects of English culture. They can also learn the context (背
景) and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.
Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions of England but includes the possibility of
introducing them to traditions which influence English literature, such as the study of Ancient Greek drama, and to
literature in other contexts, such as American literature. The enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give
students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and
into the adult lives. They will have the confidence to approach and deal with new forms of books and writing.
When studying literature, students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary but also the
language aspects which can be used for specific purposes. For example, if the students are familiar with the
concepts of the beat and rhythm of English poems, they can improve their own writing as they are able to
appreciate and apply these ideas.
Finally, the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle, from which the students
can deal with their studies in particular and their lives in general. So the next time you are reading a newspaper
article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative (主动性) in the local workforce, remember that in a small
way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and further dimension to a person’s life.
30. The word “confine” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. advise B. warn C. limit D. require
.
31 The writer probably agrees that the study of English literature ________.
A. has a long-lasting influence on students
.
B is misguided and has more disadvantages
C. is not necessary for second language learners
D. only allows the students to learn traditions of England
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Schools fail to care about students’ need.
B. English culture is closely related to English literature.
C. Learning English literature can make students smarter.
D. The more you read literature works, the more you complain.
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

本部分共5题,共20分。根据题目要求,完成相应任务。
四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分,第37题4分,共10分)
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Leonardo da Vinci was a genius (天才): wildly imaginative, passionately curious and creative across multiple
disciplines—painting, architecture, aeronautics, and engineering. However, the word “genius” minimizes (贬低)
him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning. His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in
a supernatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, politeness, and talent in such abundance that
seems that his every act is divine (天赐的).”
In fact, the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition (雄心). It did not come
from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart
(与众不同) from people who are only smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy
allowed him to make unexpected leaps (飞跃) that related things seen to things unseen.
Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying
machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. “Tell me if ever I did a thing...” “Tell me if anything was ever
made.” His imperfect humanity makes Leonardo more accessible.
Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him.
His life offers a wealth of lessons. Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful.
Sometimes it should be pursued (追求) for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to
paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the
Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and see more
connections. Keep a childlike sense of wonder. At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday
phenomena. We might enjoy the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color.
Leonardo did. Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery...We can never learn
enough from Leonardo.
