A
When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it
home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day
holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had
fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had
always stood, there were lights, all colors, and ornaments (饰品) shining against the green of a pine.
“Where did it come from?” I asked.
“I asked the Gates boy to cut it” my mother said.“ I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when in great
need...such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon.”
The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was in its place. A
few green branches reached out a little awkwardly(难看) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk
showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of
Christmas.
“It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the
Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a better one. But I couldn’t be fussy because he had tried his best.”
“Don’t worry,” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
26. What did his mother’s Christmas tree look like?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. B. C. D.
27. From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A. the writer spent his first Christmas during the war
B. the writer didn’t like the tree cut by someone else
.
C the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas tree
D. his mother didn’t want to have a Christmas tree during wartime
28. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Soldier and the Christmas Tree B. How Soldiers Spent Christmas
C. The Perfect Christmas Tree D. Christmas and a Special Tree
B
The siesta competition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking
voices, and footsteps to take the competitors' attention away from their after-lunch sleeps.
Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five competitors at a time were allowed to take a 20-minute sleep. A
doctor tested their pulse (脉搏) to time how long they actually spent on sleep. Competitors earned extra points for
snoring (打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas. The winners of each round move to the next
stage in the competition.
It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches
that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes
with sleep masks, too, whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.
The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are
doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money.
Actually, they were paid to sleep.
There are really health benefits to a mid-day nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way
to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night's sleep, can
help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.
29. The underlined word "siesta" here probably means “___________”.
A. over sleep B. night sleep
C. a short sleep after supper D. a short sleep after lunch
30. In what situation did the competition take place?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. In a noisy place. B. In a quiet place.
C. In a comfortable place. D. In a familiar place.
31. When the competitors went to sleep, they could ___________.
A. have their own beds B. use nothing to cover their eyes
C. have doctors to help them D. use something to help them sleep
32. The competition is held because the Association wants to ___________.
A. know if people still know the traditional habit
B. encourage people to have their traditional habit
C. do some research on how people sleep
D. give people money in this way
C
Pablo Picasso is one of the most important people of 20th century when art and art movements happened.
Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most
special style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists like Picasso, who had such an effect on the
art world, or had a large following of fans as he did.
Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881, and was raised there before going on to spend most of his adult life
working as an artist in France. During the whole life, he created more than 20, 000 paintings, drawings,
sculptures(雕塑) and other artistic works. He is universally famous as one of the most influential artists of the 20th
century.
Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain. His father Ruiz was a painter and a professor of art, and felt surprised by
his son’s drawing from an early age. His mother stated at one time that his first words were to ask for a pencil. At
the age of seven, Picasso began receiving formal training from his father. Because of his traditional professional
training, Ruiz believed training made up copying of masterworks and drawing the human form from live models.
In 1891 at ten years old, the family moved to La Coruna where School of Fine Arts paid Ruiz to be a
professor. They spent four years there where Ruiz felt his son surpassed him as an artist at the age of 13 and
decided to give up painting.
When Picasso died at age 91 in April 1973, he had become one of the most famous and successful artists in
history. The most special is that he was able to draw modern creation on the one hand but on the other of continuing
traditional lines. He is also the most fruitful genius(天才) in the history of art. His art went over a 78-year period, in
which he created 13, 500 paintings, 100, 000 prints and many other famous works.
Just like William Shakespeare on literature(文学), Picasso’s effect on art is large. No one has achieved the
same degree of widespread fame(名望) or showed such unbelievable skillfulness as Pablo Picasso has in the art
学科网（北京）股份有限公司history. Picasso’s free spirit, his strange style made him a cause for artists to follow.
33. The third paragraph is mainly about _________.
A. Picasso’s fame B. Picasso’s childhood
C. Picasso’s work and arts D. Picasso’s general introduction
34. The word “surpassed” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.
A. went beyond B. kept differences with
C. competed against D. disrespected
35. Why did some artists want to follow Picasso?
A. Because he made a great effect on the art world.
B. Because he had his own free spirit and strange style.
C. Because his father was a painter and a professor of art.
D. Because he was the most fruitful genius in the history of art.
36. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Before 50 Picasso had become the most well-known artist in ancient art.
.
B Picasso could draw a creation on one hand and make a sculpture on the other.
C. Some artists practiced painting hard and achieved the same fame as Picasso has.
D. Picasso was born in an artistic family and learned drawing from his father firstly.
