He was brought up in a cultured family. Vincent was highly emotional and wasn't selfconfident. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, Van Gogh had two unhappy love stories and worked unsuccessfully in Belgium. He remained there to study art, and decided to give happiness by creating beauty. Of the works of his early Dutch period, the most famous is The Potato Eaters.In 1886 he went to Paris to join his brother Theo, the manager of Goupil's gallery. In Paris, Van Gogh studied with Cormon, later met Pissarro, Monet，and Gauguin, and began to lighten his very dark palette (调色板). His nervousness made him a difficult person to get along with and night­long discussions and painting all day undermined his health. He decided to go south to Arles where he hoped his friends would join him and help to set up a school of art. Gauguin did join him but with bad results. Near the end of 1888, Van Gogh ran after Gauguin with an open razor (剃须刀) but ended up cutting a part of his own ear off. It led Gauguin to finally leave Arles.In the May of 1890, Van Gogh seemed much better and went to live in Auvers­sur­Oise under the eye of Dr. Gachet. Two months later he was dead, having shot himself “for the good of all”. During his life he had sold one painting. Van Gogh's finest works were produced in less than three years.语篇解读：文章介绍了艺术家凡·高的生平事迹。1.

He was a confident boy when he was young.BHe was born in Belgium and once worked in Holland.CHe lost a part of his ear at the age of 35.DHe had never sold any paintings during his life.解析：选C细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知A项错误；由第一段第一句可知B项错误；由第一段第一句以及第二段倒数第二句可知，凡·高出生于1853年，1888年自己砍掉部分耳朵，故C项正确；由第三段第三句可知D项错误。BAt times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away, she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A's.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life.Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.语篇解读：作者的妈妈一直都在为作者担心，但是，她并没有因此而过多的干预作者的决定。相反，母亲支持作者，对作者严格要求，并抱有很高的期望。作者把自己的成功都归功于妈妈的谆谆教导。4When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico, his mother _.Awanted to go with himBworried about his safetyCdidn't allow him to do soDasked his grandmother for advice解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段中“I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it.”我独自一人去Puerto Rico和我祖母度过夏天，我妈妈非常担心我。可知，作者的妈妈对此是非常的担心。故选B。5The author decided to move away for college to_.Abe different from his peersBkeep away from his motherCbe independent in the outside worldDmake his mother unhappy解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段中“While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own.”与同龄人想离家近不同的是，我迫不及待想独自一人去外地上学，可知作者的独立性比较强，故选C。6We can learn from the third paragraph that the author's mother_.Ahad a high expectation of himBwas too strict with himCused to expect nothing from himDcared little about his learning解析：选A推理判断题。根据第三段的“I knew she expected nothing but the best from me.”我知道她希望我一切都最好，nothing but“除了”，可知作者母亲对他期望很高，故选A。7In the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us_.Ahis long way to becoming independentBhis good relationship with his motherCthe importance of a mother's trust and supportDhis mother's deep love for him解析：选C主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot.”她真正地相信我，信赖我对我意味深重。和最后一段“I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life”我很感激她的支持和出现在我的生活中。可知这篇文章主要是作者把自己的成功都归功于妈妈的信赖和支持。CDo you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that D|S80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?Experts say it's because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves. Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brandname products.“I'd rather spend the extra money to get something I know I'll be satisfied with，” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree.“Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable，” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16.“It's fake (假的) happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren't any better.“It's wasteful to buy things just because they are popular，” says Edmund Williams, 15.“You'll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”语篇解读：文章讨论的是昂贵品牌值不值得的问题。8The example of Jim's report wants to tell us _.Apopular brands make people comfortableBKoss Pro headphones are better than BeatsCthe hottest brands are of the highest qualityDlesserknown brands may offer the same quality as name brands解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段“Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that D|S80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats.” Jim Wilcox为消费者报告。他测试了各种耳机。他说，80美元的耳机Koss Pro和Beats提供基本相同的质量和舒适。由此可知消费者们对于品牌了解不够，lesser­known brands may offer the same quality as name brands 一些鲜为人知的品牌可以像品牌商品一样提供相同质量的。故选D。9According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably _.Ato show offBfor their better qualityCfor their better designsDto belong to a special group解析：选A推理判断题。根据第三段的“Brands say I belong or I can afford it”可知，人们选择最热门的品牌是出于炫耀心理，故选A。10What does Edmund think of expensive brands?AThey are not worth the price.BThey make him feel confident.CThey need to improve their quality.DThey pay too much attention to personal likes.解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段Edmund所说的“It's wasteful to buy things just because they are popular.”仅仅因为它们受欢迎而买东西是一种浪费。可知他认为昂贵品牌并不值那个价，故选A。11The text is mainly about _.Ahow to buy things reasonably Bthe competition between brandsCthe different values of teenagersDwhether expensive brands are worth high prices解析：选D主旨大意题。文章第一段提出本文要谈论的话题：“They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.”这些品牌价格如此昂贵，但是一些专家说受欢迎的品牌价格昂贵然而却不见得比便宜的品牌好。随后文章从正反两面对此进行了讨论。由此可知，文章主要是讨论昂贵的品牌到底值不值这一话题。故选D。DSunday, 31 AugustWe've been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. We're not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cake here they're not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school starts I wonder what it will be like.Monday, 1 SeptemberOn my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at their desks we stay in the same classroom because apparently we don't have to go from class to class teachers come to us!Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject.Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements，and do other stuff for the teacher and the students. It's kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasn't sure what I had to do, but I accepted the job anyway.Friday, 3 OctoberBoy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools'“Homeroom”and“Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home. I don't even have time to watch TV or surf the Internet like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didn't have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students are involved in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me! A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! I'm making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!12The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT _.Aphysics studyBteacher assistants Cfree time activitiesDlanguage exchange program解析：选A细节理解题。文章第一段提到蛋糕的味道，第三段提到课代表，倒数第二段提到自由时间的活动，最后一段提到语言交流项目，但是没有提到物理学习，所以选A。13According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistant's duty?ACollecting homework.BMaking announcements.CHelping teachers with small errands (差事)DTeaching classmates.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff for the teacher and the students.”可知，课代表的任务是收作业、发布通知、帮助老师做些小差事，但不用教同学，故选D项。14Where is this passage most probably from?AA story book. BA guide book.CA diary. DA magazine.解析：选C文章出处题。这篇文章是到中国学习的美国学生的日常生活记录。作者记录了在中国的学习、生活状况。也有经历的文化冲击。从格式上也能明显看出是日记。故C项正确。15The passage is best described by _.Aculture shock BmulticultureCunique culture Dculture background解析：选A推理判断题。文章多处可以看出作者在对比中国和美国之间的差异，这也是作者体验的一种文化冲突，故A项正确。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you truly happy?
