In the United States a large number of people aged 25 to 40 get tattoos. A third of all Americans between 18 and 25 have a tattoo. In Britain a fifth of all adults are tattooed. Tattooing has become an important industry as well. Today, there are more than 50,000 tattoo artists in the US alone.Even famous people such as Angelina Jolie and David Beckham have some kind of tattoo on their bodies. According to researchers many people tattoo themselves as a sign of individuality (个性). They want to express themselves and show others who they are. Other forms of body art are also on the rise.Today, tattoos are widely accepted in society. That hasnt always been the case. Tattoos used to be connected with criminals (罪犯), lower class people or certain groups like sailors and motorcycle gangs. While tattooing was once only for men, more and more women are now getting tattoos.Tattooing goes way back in history. In many parts of the world, people used tattoos for different purposes. The ancient Romans tattooed their slaves. Native Americans tattooed themselves as a sign of bravery. In Nazi Germany Jews were marked with a number to tell who they were.Not only has tattooing itself become a big industry, but removing them is also on the increase. Many people just dont realize that a tattoo lasts forever, and at some time in their lives they may want to get rid of it. The cost of tattooing yourself usually depends on how large the tattoo is or how complex (复杂的) it is. Prices are usually from a hundred to over a thousand dollars.【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了文身这门艺术的历史及现状。1The numbers in Paragraph 1 are used to show that _.Atattoos are now very popularBmany tattoo artists are moving to AmericaCyoung adults have a preference for tattoosDit is against the law to get tattoos in Britain解析：A细节理解题。由该段中的a large number of people . a fifth of all adults are tattooed和there are more than 50,000 tattoo artists in the US alone可知，作者通过这些数字旨在说明文身现在非常流行，故选A项。2What might be David Beckhams attitude towards tattooing?AHe is worried about it.BHe is interested in it.CHe thinks little of it.DHe has no idea of it.解析：B推理判断题。由第二段中的Even famous people .

It is housed in two old houses which I believe add to the attraction of this gallery. I visited the gallery recently. Frank Costin who is the owner and director of Savannah Gallery was so helpful and friendly and shared the history behind some of the art in the gallery. I was fascinated by a piece of art by Victor Hempel and the story behind it.“Two years ago, this talented sculptor (雕塑家) found an almond tree floating in the salt pond of Sandy Ground. He saw possibilities with his gifted eyes and pulled the tree back to his boat and workshop. This spring, after being exhibited in the St. Barths art exhibition, it arrived in the gallery. Theres not a single wall in this gallery that can fit its 11 feet height！”Frank said. After a couple of days, he hoisted (吊起) it up and placed it in the gallerys front room.“Its an amazing sculpture, and its titled Greeting the Morning Sun. It is truly a great work of this sculptor” Frank said. I agree with Frank. I think it is simply beautiful and I love the story behind it.There are many other beautiful pieces of art in the gallery. It was nice to walk slowly from room to room and picture in my mind that Anguillan families once lived and loved in the tiny rooms of the gallery. I then went out on the back porch and was watched by some cats. As Frank explained, he is allergic (过敏的) to cats, but he feeds the cats and they never come too close. He benefits because they keep the mice away and they benefit as they are fed daily.It was a lovely visit and I will be sure to visit during the year to see what new pieces of art the gallery has. If youre a fan of art, dont miss the gallery.【文章大意】作者向我们介绍了Savannah Gallery的一件艺术品，鼓励我们去那里看看。5When the author saw Victor Hempels artwork at the gallery, she was most probably _.Asurprised and frightenedBexcited and proudCsad and disappointedDattracted and amazed解析：D推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句以及那件艺术品很令人震撼的语境可推断，作者深深地被吸引了，同时也被震撼到了。6Why did Victor Hempel pull the almond tree back to his boat?ABecause he wanted to experiment with it.BBecause he was sure it would lead to a great artwork.CBecause he was afraid the salt pond would damage it.DBecause he knew Savannah Gallery would need it.解析：B细节理解题。根据第二段的He saw possibilities with his gifted eyes and pulled the tree back to his boat and workshop.可知，是因为他认为其可以成为一件很好的艺术品。7After Frank Costin saw Victor Hempels artwork, he _.Asuggested a name for itBimmediately hoisted it upCwasnt very interested in itDthought it was too tall for his gallery解析：D细节理解题。根据第二段的Theres not a single wall in this gallery that can fit its 11 feet height！可知，Frank认为这件艺术品对于他的画廊来说太高了。8Why does Frank Costin keep the cats at the gallery?ABecause they can attract visitors.BBecause they help him kill time.CBecause they are useful for the gallery.DBecause they have nowhere else to go.解析：C细节理解题。根据第三段的He benefits because they keep the mice away and they benefit as they are fed daily.可知，养那些猫对画廊有好处。.七选五Now many people smoke. _1_ At such a young age, you dont really think about the health risks of smoking. You certainly do not realize how addictive (上瘾的) smoking can be. As a teenager, you probably think that you can try smoking for a few times and then take it or leave it. However, the truth is that it doesnt take long to become addicted to smoking. So why do children or teenagers start smoking? _2_Peer (同龄人) pressure plays an important part. Many children start smoking because their friends have tried it or smoke themselves. Those children may have started as they grow up in an environment where their parents, grandparents and older relatives smoke. _3_Some children may begin to smoke if they have low selfesteem (自尊).
