His mother died when he was only six years old. Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelos life. Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.At the age of thirteen, he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was not only a painter but also an artist. Michelangelos talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico. Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time. During the next few years, Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps, Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome. A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pieta.It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peters Basilica in the Vatican. It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.Michelangelos fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin. Many people didnt think he could do much with it. He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished. David became Michelangelos most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture. Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物传记。米开朗基罗是意大利文艺复兴时期著名的艺术家，本文向我们介绍了一些他的生平事迹。1What can we learn about Michelangelo as a young child?AHe lived a very hard life.BHe showed great interest in art.CHe wanted to go to Florence very much.DHe didnt have much time to learn painting.【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.”可推断，米开朗基罗小时候就对艺术很感兴趣。【答案】B2Michelangelo was sent to work under the sculptor Bertoldo di Geovanni most probably because_.AMichelangelo had lost his interest in paintingBDomenico didnt think Michelangelo had a gift for paintingCBertoldo di Geovanni offered to show Michelangelo sculpturesDDomenico wanted Michelangelo to make better use of his gift there【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的第二、三句可推断，Domenico 是为了米开朗基罗能更好地利用自己的天赋才把他送到Bertoldo di Geovanni 那里去工作的。【答案】D3What sculpture by Michelangelo will you see in St.Peters Basilica?ABacchus.BThe Pieta.CMadonna of the Steps.DBattle of the Centaurs.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的第二至四句可知，应选B。【答案】B4When Michelangelo began his work on creating a large statue of David，many people_.Acouldnt wait to make fun of his workBthought he would finish it within monthsCknew it would be his most famous work of artDdidnt think he would make good use of it【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段的“Many people didnt think he could do much with it.”可知，一开始很多人认为那块大理石不适合雕刻那个作品。【答案】DBI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live.I learned to live many years ago. Something really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all: I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.5The best title of this passage probably_.ALove Your FriendsBLive a Real lifeCDont Waste TimeDBe a Good Mother and Wife【解析】主旨大意题。作者提倡过一种属于自己的真正的生活。由第二段主题句“Get a life.A real life.”得出。【答案】B6How did the author form her view of life?ABy working and social experience.BBy learning from her friends.CThrough an unfortunate experience.DFrom her children and husband.【解析】细节理解题。作者在经历了一段非常糟糕的生活后才得出这种生活理念，由第四段“Something really bad happened to me，something that changed my life.”得出。【答案】C7The underlined sentence“It is so easy to exist instead of to live.”in the fourth paragraph probably has the same meaning as “_”Ait is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real lifeBit is very hard to live a real lifeCit is so easy to make a livingDit is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life【解析】句意理解题。作者的意思是活着容易，但过一种真正的生活很难。【答案】A8Whats the authors attitude toward work?ADo it well to serve others.BTo earn enough money to make life better.CTry your best to get higher position and pay.DDont let it affect your real life.【解析】推理判断题。生活第一。工作不能影响生活，更不要去追逐名利，由首段“I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.”可得出答案。【答案】DCTravelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Breaka week long school vacation in the United States.

Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical compositiona finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery. Both are emulsionstiny globules(小球体) of one, liquid evenly distributed throughout another. The difference lies in whats in the globules and whats in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture，” he says.When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments(分隔间) buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients(养料). They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products: “In butter, you get a selflimiting system which stops the bacteria growing，” says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the foods structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.13The significance of Brocklehursts research is that_.Ait suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservativesBit discovered tiny globules in both cream and butterCit revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butterDit found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句所说的finding，对应A项中keep some foods fresh without preservatives，所以选A项。【答案】A14According to the researchers, cream sours faster than butter because bacteria_.Aare more evenly distributed in creamBmultiply more easily in cream than in butterClive on less fat in cream than in butterDproduce less waste in cream than in butter【解析】推理判断题。根据第三、四段可知细菌在奶酪里比在黄油里更容易存活，由此推断出细菌在奶酪里比在黄油里容易繁殖。【答案】B15The underlined word “colonies” in Para.4 refers to_.Atiny globulesBwatery regionsCbacteria communities Dlittle compartments【解析】词义猜测题。结合第四段第一句的主句主语是bacteria，第二句的individual colonies必然指代bacteria。再从第四段主要介绍黄油不易腐败的原因细菌被油脂锁住，不易繁殖。【答案】C.阅读填句(共5小题；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。(2016河南省普通毕业班适应性练习)Its a proven fact that the way in which we remember things changes as we get older.
