26、ainter Georgia Okeeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her familys farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, OKeeffe painted the things that were most im

27、portant to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature. OKeeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, OKeeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒凉的）

28、 landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows skulls and other bleached（变白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, c

29、olorful flowers, rocks, barren(贫瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although OKeeffe painted her best known works in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, she continued to produce tributes（贡品、颂词） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.OKeeffe is widely considered to have been a pionee

30、ring American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, OKeeffes position was more independent.

31、bly American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms.56. Which of the following best tells what this passage is about ?

35、g fully occupied in the office. They pursue many of their activities in the office building, eating, doing exercise, resting, playing games or even dating.In large cities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing, where economy is developing at a fast speed, office workers face an increasing work press

36、ure day by day and many of them have begun to make office their home.As the young generation in society, most of them are aged between 25 and 45. In the eyes of outsiders, they enjoy a comfortable life: they lead the fashion trend in the city and earn a high salary; they enjoy a flexible working sch

37、edule and a very good working environment; having a good education background, they dont have to worry that one day they will lose their jobs.However, only the white collars themselves know what others see as a good life is in fact a boring life. They often work extra hours, suffer from loss of crea

38、tive ability and have little time to make friends. When they go off from work late at night, somethimes they might think of asking for a leave the next day and having a holiday somewhere. However, when a new day begins, they find everything back to normal and themselves pushed by new tasks.In fact,

39、even if they dont work extra hours in the office, they have no place to go. Many of the young people are fresh from college, or have come to work in large cities from their hometowns. As newcomers, they havent established （建立）a social network. They have few friends to go dating. Meanwhile, many of t

40、hem face a great pressure for earning money to buy a house or a car.

44、people in societyD. people have a good understanding of what white collars life isCA NATIONWIDEBESTSELLER Its likely that everything you learned about Americas ancient history is wrong. The new book, 1491, completely changes our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492. W

45、hen Columbus landed there were probably more people in the Ameicas than there were in Europe. The peoples of North America had such healthy lifestyles that as late as the 19th century they continued to be the tallest people on earth. Facts have shown that the Americas were populated as long as 33000

46、 years ago. 4000 years ago Mesoamerican farmers developed corn in a feat （技艺）of genetic engineering that still isnt completely understood.Comments On 1491 “In the tradition of Jared Diamond& John McPhee, a totally new view of pre-Columbian America.” - Richard Rhodes “Attractively written and really

50、 genetic engineering 5000 years ago D. the population in the Americas was smaller than that in Europe in 1492 D A cheap drug that can stop bleeding in people recently injured in an accident could potentially save the lives of tens of thousands worldwide, a new study says. Researchers studied the eff

51、ects of tranexamic acid （凝血酸）, or TXA, in more than 10,000 injured people in 40 countries who received the drug within 8 hours of being injured. The study was published in the medical journal Lancet. Doctors found that patients who got TXA had a 15percent lower chance of dying from hemorrhage than t

52、hose who didnt get it . They also had a 10 percent lower chance of dying from any other cause, including organ failure and a head injury. The study was paid for by the British government. The drug is commonly used in wealthy countries during elective surgeries(外科手术) to stop bleeding , but isnt used

53、for accident victims. TXA is off-patent and made by many companies. It costs about $4.5 per gram, and a typical dose is two grams. It is usually given via an injection（注射） and would be relatively easy to introduce, even in poor countries, experts said. Previous tests of the drug regarded its use in

54、elective surgeries, such as heart operations, but this was the first study to test the drug on accident victims. Doctors were worried it might increase side effects such as blood clots （凝块）in the heart and lungs, strokes, or heart attacks. There was no evidence of that in the Lancet study, though th

55、e authors said it was possible they might have missed some of these incidents. For people between 5 and 45, accidents are the second leading cause of death worldwide after AIDS, and about 600,000 injured patients bleed to death every year. Experts estimated that if TXA were readily available, betwee

56、n 70,000 and 100,000 lives a year could be saved. Though the drug wasnt tested on children , experts said it would almost certainly work with them as well.67. The underlined word”hemorrhage”in Paragraph 2 probably means _ A. serious illness B. heart disease C. heavy bleeding D. lack of drug68. What

57、can we learn about TXA from the passage? A. It can only be made in England B. It was only used in operations before C. It is a patented drug D. It is mainly used in poor countries69. Doctors were worried about using TXA because _ A. a lot of patients died unexpectedly after using it B. it has no tre

58、atment effect on patients C. it can cause blood clots or stroke D. they hadnt used it on accident victims before70. What do we know from the last paragraph? A. It is a pity that TXA wasnt widely used on injured patients before B. Tests have proved that TXA can be used on children C. People between 5

59、 and 45 should be injected with TXA every year D. Accidents are the first leading cause of death worldwide.第II卷 （共45分）第一节 单词拼写 （共10小题； 每小题1分，满分10分）根据所给的中文或首字母提示，按照句子的要求填写适当的词，每空一词。71.

Firstly, not everyone has the chance to watch the show live, so by sending shout messages, people can really take pa

73、rt in the program, rather than just passively watch it. This allows them to support their favorite performers, programs and to comment on them. Secondly, sending short messages is not expensive, so the average person can afford to do it.However, others think it is just another way for TV stations to

74、 make more money. They allow the audience to participate by sending short messages, which attracts young people to send messages continuely in order to support their favourite performers.In my opinion, SMS interaction has changed the way people enjoy TV programs and the use of it will also increase

75、peoples enjoyment. Whats more, the rules of many live competitions have been changed due to allowing the audience to participate by sending short messages, the results of some programs are no longer only determined by the judges but also by the audience.高考资源网()来源：高考资源网版权所有：高考资源网(www.k s 5 )版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网() 版权所有高考资源网
