J. M. W. Turner (1775 ~ 1851) was one of the finest landscape artists, whose works were exhibited when he was still a teenager. His entire life was devoted to his art. Unlike many artists of his era, he was successful throughout his career.
Due to his mother‟s mental illness, Turner spent some of his childhood living with his relatives. He worked as an assistant to various architects. By the age of 13 he was making drawings at home and exhibiting them in his father‟s shop window for sale. Turner received a rare honor—one of his paintings was exhibited at the Royal Academy when he was 15 years old. By the time he was 18 he had his own studio.
He quickly achieved a fine reputation and was elected an associate of the Royal Academy. In 1802 Turner became a full member. He then began traveling widely in Europe. But Venice was the inspiration for some of Turner‟s finest works. Wherever he travelled in Venice, he studied the effects of sea and sky in every kind of weather. Instead of merely recording what he saw, Turner translated scenes into a light-filled expression of his own romantic feelings. Turner knew how to create his own paintings from there.
Turner had no close friends. He allowed no one to watch him while he painted. He gave up attending the meetings of the academy. None of his acquaintances saw him for months at a time. Turner continued to travel but always alone. He still held exhibitions, but he usually refused to sell his paintings.
In 1850 he exhibited for the last time. Turner died at his home in Chelsea on 19 December, 1851. Turner left a large fortune that he hoped would be used to support what he called “decaying artists”. His collection of paintings was given away to his country. At his request he was buried in St. Paul‟s Cathedral.
24. From the first two paragraphs, we can know Turner _________.
A. had little schooling B. made a living by himself
C. taught himself the art of drawing D. was successful from an early age
25. In which aspect was Turner most influenced by Venice according to the text?
A. His wide hobby. B. His personal life.
C. His own personality. D. His painting technique.
26. Which of the following can best describe Turner according to Paragraph 4?
A. Productive. B. Optimistic. C. Strange. D. Generous.
27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Turner cared about himself more than others.
B. Turner donated his works to the country selflessly.
C. Turner was warmly welcomed by the youth.
D. Turner achieved a huge success after his death.
C
Community Supported Agriculture farms, or CSAs, seek people who pay in advance for fresh vegetables and fruits. One farmer has now introduced his CSA program to a law firm in New York City. The busy lawyers there are loving the service.
The Glebocki family has been in the fanning business since 1894. But staying in business is not easy. Farming requires a lot of money for seeds and equipment at the beginning of the growing season. And farmers do not know how much money they will get for their crops at the end of the season. They are also not sure if anyone will buy what they grow. John Glebocki, the current farm owner, has one solution to these problems: Community Supported Agriculture.
Every Thursday, John Glebocki and his workers load the truck for the 96-kilometer trip to New York City. The driver and his fresh vegetables drive through the big city streets, then stop at the Winston and Strawn law firm.
Victor Barnett and Mikaela Evans-Aziz work at the law firm. “It‟s nice to get this fresh produce every Friday. I don‟t have to run to the grocery store. We love it. It‟s the only fresh food we get in our diets. We have kind of crazy hours, and we look forward to this every week. ”they say.
Renee Zimmerman and Rachel Benjamin also work at the firm. They are also loyal CSA customers. “It‟s a great way to keep our farmers in business to insure we continue to get fresh produce. Besides, it‟s fresh and it‟s a little that you get it at work.”
Martina Owens helped bring the CSA to the firm. One of her goals was to bring people together. She says the program has been a success. And for farmer John Glebocki, the CSA gives some protection from the economic uncertainties of agriculture. He knows what he can grow and sell, and he knows what he will get for his crops. That stability can keep a family farm in business.
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly talking about?
A. The development of CSAs. B. The popularity of CSAs.
C. The reason why CSAs are launched. D. The difficulty that CSAs are facing.
29. What advantage of CSAs do Victor Barnett and Mikaela Evans-Aziz stress?
A. The kindness of the farmers. B. The diversity of the produce.
C. The cheap price of the produce. D. The convenience they get from it.
30. The underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 5 probably means _______.
A. terrible B. amazing
C. possible D. usual
31. Which of the following statements about CSAs is NOT true ________.
A. It has been successful so far. B. It has met many difficulties.
C. It helps keep agriculture stable. D. It will have a brilliant future.
D
Have you ever heard an English teacher say, “Teaching grammar is boring!” Betty Azar has, and she strongly disagrees. “I think that is a misconception—that teaching grammar is a boring thing to do—when teaching grammar, for me, always was the class I looked forward to the most because grammar was just the foundation. It was where you started. From there you do conversations, you do games, you do communicative interaction, you do all of the wonderful things you do in a second language classroom, but you do it in combination with having a solid foundation of the structures that they are using.”
The common misunderstanding that Ms. Azar sees is that grammar can be taught as a subject,

A heavy snowfall covered the ground of the nursing home as I pulled into the parking lot. On Saturday mornings the facility was quieter, without all the office personnel and sales sentatives. I enjoyed weekends and liked working as the charge nurse here. My Big Boys,as I called them, were sitting there watching TV. I loved the stories these retired men of various occupations told. There were and businessmen alike enjoying the questions I asked them about their youths. My question that day was, "Did you like to play in the snow when you were young?"
They were excited after hearing my question. All of them had a story to tell about the snowmen they built or the games they played in the snow.
"But I haven' t felt snow in many years," said Stanley from his wheelchair. The men gazed longingly out of the large picture window.
"Snow won't last long," said another. I saw the little boys inside these elderly men. I wondered... could I...dared I? Why not? I might get reprimanded, but I would not get fired.
I gathered up some huge containers and went out of the back door, filling all the containers with snow. I took the first container of snow inside to Stanley. "Do you remember making a snowball?"
Stanley smiled, reached, took a handful of the snow and began forming a ball. " Who would you like to throw it at?" I asked. "Tom! " Stanley shouted as he threw the ball at the man near the door. Then all the men got into the action.
" Better duck!" one man warned.
" Catch this one ! " another challenged.
The fights lasted until the snow was melted and the floor looked like a water line. Their smiles and energy brightened the day.
Outside, snow was still falling. I was surrounded by an act of smiling. Maybe I made a mistake, but I think it is worth a risk for me when seeing the Little Boys inside these Big Boys. 24. From the text, we know Big Boys refers to .

Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird( published in 1960) , which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee's only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in US schools. In 2007 Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature. Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared.
The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she hinted that she had a story in progress.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult. Accusations arose that the 89-year-old Lee was not able to consent to(赞成) the manuscript' s release, and that various patties had signed on her behalf.
Though Lee moved in 1949 to New York, she spent many years guarding her privacy in Monroeville, which served as clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. Like the countless Americans knew her only through her work, they will undoubtedly miss her. 28. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that Harper Lee .
A. once starred in a film adapted from her novel
B. made great contributions to American literature
C. was a most productive writer in America
D. was the greatest writer in American history
29. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?
A. She was afraid to be criticized.
B. She wanted to write another story.
C. She didn't want to be bothered.
D. She needed to care for her sister.
30. From the text, we know Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman . A. continues the story of her earlier story
B. won her lots of honors and awards
C. is adapted into a famous film
D. tells the story of herself 31. What can be inferred about Harper Lee from the last paragraph?
A. She died in 2014 of a stroke.
B. She led a lonely life in her later life.
C. She didn' t want to help others.
D. She will certainly be remembered.
D
Nearly two-thirds of U. S. households, or 80 million homes, have pets and Americans spent more than $60 billion on them last year, according to the American Pet Products Association. "The number of pets in the world is growing extremely fast and that opens up the market,"said Peter Harrop, chairman of IDTechEx, a technology market research firm. "I' m sure five years from now there will be all sorts of things we can't imagine. "
Already, there are devices that let your pets call you (PetChatz) , play games and win treats when they're home alone (CleverPet) and even speak with a human voice

A heavy snowfall covered the ground of the nursing home as I pulled into the parking lot. On Saturday mornings the facility was quieter, without all the office personnel and sales sentatives. I enjoyed weekends and liked working as the charge nurse here. My Big Boys,as I called them, were sitting there watching TV. I loved the stories these retired men of various occupations told. There were and businessmen alike enjoying the questions I asked them about their youths. My question that day was, "Did you like to play in the snow when you were young?"
They were excited after hearing my question. All of them had a story to tell about the snowmen they built or the games they played in the snow.
"But I haven' t felt snow in many years," said Stanley from his wheelchair. The men gazed longingly out of the large picture window.
"Snow won't last long," said another. I saw the little boys inside these elderly men. I wondered... could I...dared I? Why not? I might get reprimanded, but I would not get fired.
I gathered up some huge containers and went out of the back door, filling all the containers with snow. I took the first container of snow inside to Stanley. "Do you remember making a snowball?"
Stanley smiled, reached, took a handful of the snow and began forming a ball. " Who would you like to throw it at?" I asked. "Tom! " Stanley shouted as he threw the ball at the man near the door. Then all the men got into the action.
" Better duck!" one man warned.
" Catch this one ! " another challenged.
The fights lasted until the snow was melted and the floor looked like a water line. Their smiles and energy brightened the day.
Outside, snow was still falling. I was surrounded by an act of smiling. Maybe I made a mistake, but I think it is worth a risk for me when seeing the Little Boys inside these Big Boys. 24. From the text, we know Big Boys refers to .

Harper Lee (1926-2016) was an American novelist widely known for To Kill a Mockingbird( published in 1960) , which won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize and has become a classic of modern American literature. The 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck won three Academy Awards.
For decades, the book was Lee's only major work of published fiction, but it was hugely influential for generations of US readers. It has sold more than 10 million copies, and is one of the most widely taught novels in US schools. In 2007 Lee was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature. Lee wanted to live a simple life and was never comfortable with the attention the novel won her, and she practically disappeared from public life after it appeared.
The world, however, continued waiting for a new novel from her, and on occasion she hinted that she had a story in progress.
In 2015, a book did come out. Go Set a Watchman was more of a first draft, featuring Scout, the young girl who was the main character of To Kill a Mockingbird. Go Set a Watchman tells a story of Scout as an adult. Accusations arose that the 89-year-old Lee was not able to consent to(赞成) the manuscript' s release, and that various patties had signed on her behalf.
Though Lee moved in 1949 to New York, she spent many years guarding her privacy in Monroeville, which served as clear inspiration for the setting in To Kill a Mockingbird.
In 2007, Lee suffered a stroke, but recovered and later settled in Monroeville permanently to care for her sister, Alice, who died in 2014. She was said to eat breakfast every morning at the same fast-food spot, and was friendly with her neighbors. Like the countless Americans knew her only through her work, they will undoubtedly miss her. 28. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that Harper Lee .
A. once starred in a film adapted from her novel
B. made great contributions to American literature
C. was a most productive writer in America
D. was the greatest writer in American history
29. Why did Harper Lee disappear from public life after her first novel came out?
A. She was afraid to be criticized.
B. She wanted to write another story.
C. She didn't want to be bothered.
D. She needed to care for her sister.
30. From the text, we know Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman . A. continues the story of her earlier story
B. won her lots of honors and awards
C. is adapted into a famous film
D. tells the story of herself 31. What can be inferred about Harper Lee from the last paragraph?
A. She died in 2014 of a stroke.
B. She led a lonely life in her later life.
C. She didn' t want to help others.
D. She will certainly be remembered.
D
Nearly two-thirds of U. S. households, or 80 million homes, have pets and Americans spent more than $60 billion on them last year, according to the American Pet Products Association. "The number of pets in the world is growing extremely fast and that opens up the market,"said Peter Harrop, chairman of IDTechEx, a technology market research firm. "I' m sure five years from now there will be all sorts of things we can't imagine. "
Already, there are devices that let your pets call you (PetChatz) , play games and win treats when they're home alone (CleverPet) and even speak with a human voice
