8、分 阅读理解 （共两节, 满分40分）第一节（共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AArt is everywhere in our lives. Every man-made object is linked with art. Throughout history, humans have made articles for a wide variety of purposes；generally for everyday practical requirements. Th

9、e style of practical objects reflects the outlook and the spirit of the times in which they are made.It seems that humans possess a natural urge to improve constructed objects with decoration：sometimes for beautification, sometimes for religious reasons, sometimes to show off their wealth and power,

10、 and sometimes to tell a story. Unnecessary decoration can ruin the form and perhaps the function of an object, but when decoration is used with care, it can beautify, produce variety, and add interest.The first essential(要点)in every creation is that it should properly fulfil its purpose；for instanc

11、e, a teapot should pour perfectly, a block of flats should be a pleasant place in which to live, and a factory or commercial building should be a suitable building in which to work.The second essential is that an object should please the eye with its form, line, proportion(比例), colour and texture(质地

12、), and it should be capable of inspiring the emotions. For example, contemporary furniture designers must think of form, function and structure, and have taken their lead from the outstanding Scandinavian designs of Denmark, Finland and Sweden, whose preference was for simple functional furniture to

13、 suit the architectural environment of the day. Heavy furniture is no longer desirable, and by contrast, modem furniture is often characterized by its good proportion, pleasing lines, simple fittings and attractive structures.Motor vehicles are a perfect example of how design has changed to suit fun

14、ction. Early car design was greatly influenced by the horse-drawn carriage, but today we find functional design satisfying every requirement of practical use and good appearance. Designs in the 1980s and 1990s included streamlining(流线型)to reduce wind resistance in fast-moving vehicles, and, at the s

15、ame time, satisfy an important art principlerhythm. But the cars of today, often half size of their predecessors(前身), have taken the concept of industrial design way beyond simple strength, comfort and beauty. They now include safety and ecological characteristics, for example, reduced fuel consumpt

16、ion, while at the same time satisfying the need to be stylish, and appealing to the eye. For many people, the 21st-century car represents the greatest work of art.21. What point does the author make about decorating objects?A. It is something people would have always done. B. It can show the object

17、has a range of functions.C. It always improves the appearance of an object. D. It usually makes the objects more noticeable.22. The author refers to the motor car to show _.A. humans have made great progress in artB. the motor car has a longer history than many other art objectsC. design should be a

18、ppropriately changed according to needD. art form should raise concern about the environment23. What is the best title for the text?A. Form Follows Function B. Life Is Art, Art Is Life C. Art in Everyday Life D. The Best Work of ArtBYou will go to college some day and college is one of the most exci

19、ting stages of ones life. If you wish to make the most of your campus(校园)experience and become a better person after those four years, then first you ought to make friends. Close friends contribute to yourself growth for they provide you with moral support that is so important to surviving the stres

20、sful college life. Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like collecting your homework when youre too sick to leave your dorm, and help you develop the right attitude by pointing out to you your weaknesses.Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding yourself on your own in a larg

21、e campus without your parents to hold your hand can be annoying. However, rather than thinking about your missing home too much, why not see this new stage in your life as an opportunity for self growth and develop the right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of post-graduation life, part

22、icularly when you join the workforce?Special-interest clubs or organizations are great for self growth. Here, not only do you get the opportunity to meet with like-minded people, you can also discover more things about your field of interest. Club meetings usually include lively discussions, so go t

23、here with the right attitude. You should try to build a good name in the organization by being respectful, active and considerate to others.You might not like all of your professors, but they are there to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen field. Thus, show up for each class

24、with the right attitude and determination to learn. Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your self growth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.Actively participating in a class debate or lecture contributes to your self

25、 growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and improves your communication skills. It also helps you develop the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交术)when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue(问题)and exercising patience when

26、dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas.24. In the authors opinion, what can help college students develop a right attitude?A. Joining special-interest clubs. B. Focusing on their studies.C. Taking up part-time jobs. D. Making friends with others.25. The underlined word “rigors” in Paragra

29、people in needand he has no plans to stop. On May 2, Gadgil won the $100,000 Lemelson-MIT Award. Each year, the honor is given to an inventor who has improved the lives of people in developing countries. Gadgils inventions have helped more than 100 million people around the world.Gadgil is a profess

30、or and physicist at the University of California, Berkeley. When hes not teaching, he works to find solutions to global problems such as energy efficiency(效率)and water safety. “I chose to focus on problems where my knowledge of science could help,” Gadgil said.In the 1980s, he came up with a program

31、 to make energy-efficient light bulbs more affordable for people in developing countries. Then in the 1990s, Gadgil designed his first life-saving invention, UV Waterworks. It kills deadly disease-carrying germs(病菌)from drinking water. It costs just one cent to clean five liters of water. Gadgil was

32、 inspired to find an inexpensive solution to the clean water crisis after more than 10, 000 people in his home country of India died from an outbreak of Bengal cholera(霍乱), in 1993. The disease is spread through polluted food and drinking water. So far, the invention has provided safe drinking water

33、 to more than 5 million people in India, Liberia, Nigeria, the Philippines and Ghana. Families in refugee(难民)camps in Sudan are given food aid. But they still have to cook the meals. In order to do so, refugee women leave the safety of the camps three to five times a week to gather firewood. They wa

34、lk up to seven hours a day to find enough wood to fuel their stoves. Cooking over an open flame can be dangerous to ones health and to the environment, too, because of the amount of smoke it produces. Gadgil visited the area many times with his students and his co-workers to work with the refugee wo

35、men on designing a clean, fuel-efficient stove. The Berkeley-Darfur Stove he created saves 55 of fuel. That means the women wouldnt have to leave the houses to find firewood as often. The invention also helps to save homes more than $300 a year. About 125, 000 women and their families have been help

36、ed. As a professor, Gadgil encourages his students to stay positive about finding solutions to hard problems. “Be optimistic when you try a hard problem,”he says. “Its when you solve a large problem that you can have a powerful effect on the world.”28.

39、optimistic. B. Powerful and positive.C. Independent and sensitive. D. Responsible and strict.D“Hi, howareya, ”some people say when they see a familiar face. The words run together into a mass, all sense and meaning lost. All the same, people do care how you are. After they greet you, its likely you

40、will greet them back, with an equally meaningless phrase like, “Cant complain, cant complain.”You could probably complain, at length, or share a brilliant thought you were just beginning when a greeting interrupted you. You dont though, you say, “Great, you?”You are not giving each other information

41、 about your health and well-being. All the same, you are sharing information. Youre acknowledging each others positions as acknowledged friends, or at least as accepted acquaintances. And you are reestablishing the ties that may have lapsed(偏离)since yesterday.Its what anthropologist(人类学家)Bronislaw M

42、alinoski called a phatic(交流感情的)communication. Its message is not in the words you use, but in the fact that you speak ritually(仪式上地)accepted words. In Asia, for example, people may ask one another if they have eaten, or if they are busy. Theyre not really asking for their lunch menu or their agenda,

43、 they are saying hello. A phatic signal says hi.Theres embarrassment of being near people without acknowledging them. That uncomfortable feeling is one reason why lonely passengers in the subway may behave as if they cannot see anyone around them or may escape their uncomfortable situation with a bo

44、ok. Some people read all the way home, and never turn a page.Your friend isnt asking how you are, and you arent telling him. However, he is recognizing your existence, and when you answer, you are recognizing his. In addition, the set speech you have shared opens the door to closer communications if

45、 both agree. Someday, you may come to real close friendship, and really tell one another how you are.Meanwhile, people who greet one another this way do care. They care enough to recognize someones essential (必不可少的)humanity. They send a signal across the space between, to share, very briefly and lig

46、htly, in awareness of one another.Your greetings prove that neither of you has become a social outcast. How are you? You are still a member of society in good status. You are still the one who knows the rituals necessary to get to work each day.32. According to Bronislaw Malinoski,a phatic communica

47、tion _.A. is rarely used by Asian peopleB. is too complex to be used oftenC. helps establish or keep certain relationshipsD. often ruins the normal relationships between friends or acquaintances33. Some people seldom greet strangers because _.A. they want to be polite to others B. they feel uncomfor

48、table to do itC. they dont know when to greet them D. they want to do something meaningful34. The underlined word “outcast” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. a person who is well-educated B. a person who succeeds suddenlyC. a person who is a burden to society D. a person who is not accepted

49、by others35. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Greetings should be better expressed.B. Greetings convey different meanings to different people.C.
