Although Keats didnt receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passi

21、on brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didnt attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his familys friends regarded him as an optimist

22、ic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his fathers death in the early 1800s, followed by his mothers passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on

23、.At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in th

24、e Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didnt stop his love of rhythm .John Keats next work was Endymion, which was published

25、in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boys hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based (叙事体的) and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats b

26、egan seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him fr

27、om his work and eventually take his life in 1821.36. Why did John Keats change attitude towards life ?A.Because his parents passed away. B.Because he only received poor education.

29、em.D. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.BVolcanic ash from Icelands volcano continues to cause disruptions to air travel across Northern Europe . As the nearly universal grounding of aircraft causes problems for 25 countries in Europe, the passengers are starting to run into secondary pro

30、blems from the four days of being stranded. Additionally, the further effect of economic losses are beginning to pile up.Already the chaos surrounding the volcanic ash is being compared to the days after 9/11. As the ash plume continues to ground air transport, it is estimated that nearly 17,000 fli

31、ghts a day have been canceled at the cost of nearly $2.7 million a day, according to a report filed by the Wall Street Journal. In the report, it was said that cost was for a single airline, and that the cost for other lines could be measured in hundreds of millions of dollars. While the cost on the

32、 airline industry is significant , the cost on passengers is more significant. Airline cancellations have forced many travelers into hotels and more are looking to their travel insurance plans to cover the costs. The U.K.s Independent reported that travel insurance plans have a rule that make claims

33、 from travelers invalid. In these policies , travel insurances which are purchased as a way to cover additional costs when travel plans are unexpectedly disrupted because the specific event like a volcanic eruption is not mentioned. Then the policy does not cover the event.However, there is hope,tho

34、ugh, as Air France and Dutch airline KLM both report positive test flights of aircraft at different altitudes to ensure the safety of flight. It is not known if these flights will be the beginning or just one-off chance flights. These flights were operated in a window of operations in the ash plume,

35、 but due to the erratic nature of the airflow, there is no guarantee that this will open up air operations over Europe. At this rate, the nations of Europe will be likely to see a significant impact on their pocketbooks, both in the corporations and the individual households.39. The underlined word

36、stranded probably means_.A. struck B. controlled C. stuck D. disturbed40. From this passage we can see that_.A. the volcanic ash caused more trouble than 9/11 didB. airlines suffered great losses due to the eruptionC. travelers had to ask for help from the governmentD. nearly $.2.7 million was lost

37、in all41. Why are claims about insurance from travelers unacceptable ?A. Because volcanic eruption isnt included in travel plans.B. Because volcanic eruption companies dont keep their word.C. Because airlines havent bought insurance for travelers.D. Because airlines didnt expect the eruption .42. Th

39、en .In 1957, when Pablo Picasso was in his seventh decade, he joked that x-ray technology might one day reveal a lost work underneath one of his early paintings. Today, that prediction became reality although the technology involved goes far beyond x-rays.Using hyper-modern tools to peer into one of

40、 his Blue Period paintings, researchers have not only shown a hidden piece of art history in astonishing new detail, they have revealed a striking amount of insight into Picassos creative process and style.The investigation focused onLa Misreuse accroupie, or Crouching Woman, painted in 1902 and cur

41、rently owned by the Art Gallery. The painting, an oil on canvas (画布) piece drawing a crouching (蜷坐的) woman who wears a long coat, shows Picassos typical Blue Period colors: grey, green, blue and white. It shows that the innovative modernist was inspired by the lines of an underlying landscape painte

42、d by an unknown artist.The analysis also exposes several changes to the woman described in the painting,many of which Picasso ultimately abandoned. Researchers released their findings on Saturdays press conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Austin, Texas. “We think

43、 now its a landscape painted by someone enrolled at the fine arts academy in Barcelona, someone in Picassos orbit but not in his close circle, ”says Kenneth Brummel, assistant curator of modern art for the Art Gallery of Ontario.As to why Picasso would have “recycled” another artists canvas(油画布), re

44、asons could range from economic necessity, as a young artist still establishing himself, to deep inspiration driven by the lines of the image already laid down there. Picasso often re-used canvases for this reason.“He didnt shave off the canvas or put a preparatory layer over it,” Brummel says.“ Pic

45、asso saw this landscape, found inspiration, and decided he was going to paint it immediately.43. According to the text ,the most likely process of Picassos painting?Picasso reused another artists canvas.Inspired by a landscape painting, Picasso decided to paint one too.Picasso painted a woman on the

49、the environment? Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic:The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents. But Im not like most people. I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his

50、 reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts.Lately Ive been particularly curious as to whether Santas old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unabl

51、e to find statistics specific to Santas magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals. In other words, dont complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing to the environment based o

52、n this article.Santas yearly trip around the globe is 44,000km long, twice the average of a North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santas sled forward. To complete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must trave

53、l at a speed of about 3100km/h. To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if theyre eating corn, theyd need to eat 16,500 lbs each or 1.6 acres of food. G

54、rowing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that well leave for another calculation.We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are “letting out” some of that corn in the form of methane (甲烷，沼气). A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so fl

55、ying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons. With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2, and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santas round-trip emissions at 15,488 tons. This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally-frien

56、dly car would release on the same trip!Bad Santa.47 Which aspect does the writer NOT mention in her analyses about reindeers influence on environment?A. Distance covered. B. Money spent on food. C. Tons of waste let out. D. Calories consumed.48. According to the passage, how many acres of corn would

57、 Santa need to feed 12 reindeer?A. 12.8 B. 16C. 19.2 D. 12849. Which of the following words best describes the tone of the passage?A. Humorous and concerned.B. Cheerful and friendly.C. Academic and formal.D. Serious and boring.50. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Santa,

58、watch where youre going! B. Lets reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!C.Santa Claus is coming to town!D. Is Santa driving clean and green?第二节（共5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。 Many people believe that heart disease only affects older men._51_.The reality is that people of a
