My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool? First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldnt see what was so great about art. On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mothers expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldnt stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.36. The aim of the mothers plan was to _. A. take them to visit the museum B. introduce them to the world of art C. ask them to read about artists D. show them different painting styles37.

She could understand the pictures of fat babies.38. What made the writer go through a change that summer? A. One of Marys paintings. B. A strange way of painting. C. Artists in the Middle Ages. D. Her mothers instruction.39. From the text, we can see _. A. the importance of curiosity B. the effect of art C. the value of learning D. the power of family education40. The writer and her brother had thought that they could _ in their summer vacation. A. visit some art museums B. go to Egypt for a visit C. take drawing or painting classes D. play with their friends.BA young father was visiting an old neighbor. They were standing in the old mans garden, and talking about children. The young man said, “How strict should parents be with their children?” The old man pointed to a string between a big strong tree and a thin young one. “Please untie that string,” he said. The young man untied it, and the young tree bent over to one side. “Now tie it again, please,” said the old man, “but first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again.” The young man did so. Then the old man said, “There, it is the same with children. You must be strict with them, but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on.

Nearby, a large, powerful, six-hundred-pound dolphin circled to study the mother and her child. Suddenly, it splashed the Hoaglands with water. That is when something amazing happened. Three-year-old Joe Hoagland smiled. Sitting with Joe on her lap, Deena smiled, too, as her heart leapt with joy. It was the first sign of hope she had seen in Joe since his stroke（中风）six weeks earlier. Joe Hoagland was born with a rare heart condition that had forced him to spend much of his first three years of life in hospitals. After a series of open-heart surgeries, Joe seemed to be doing better, but the last surgery on his heart resulted in a stroke, which left him unable to move one side and to see out of one eye. Worse still, the spirit of the child, who had bravely battled his illness until then was seemingly broken. Afraid of his doctors and unwilling to participate in efforts at physical therapy（治疗）, Joe grew listless, losing interest even in his favorite toys. Having heard of a new therapeutic approach termed “dolphin-assisted therapy,” Deena phoned Dolphins Plus and asked permission to bring her son along. There Joe met Fonzie, the playful dolphin. With each passing visit, Joe seemed to make more progress. Before long, he was regaining some movement on his left side. Dolphins Plus trainers urged Joe to get into the water and swim with his new friend. Joe, however, was reluctant. Gradually, though, Joe became more comfortable with the large dolphin, and by mid-September, Joe was swimming with his friends. Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered from the paralysis and partial blindness that his doctors thought irreversible. Now a healthy, active teenager, Joe lives a life similar to any of his friends. He visits and swims frequently with his friend Fonzie and helps his parent with Island Dolphin Care. Deena started Island Dolphin Care to work with Dolphins Plus to share the benefits of dolphin therapy with other special-needs children and their parents.46. Deena Hoagland smiled when Fonzie splashed Joe with water because _. A. the dolphins action is amazing B. Joes reaction brought her hope C. she was affected by Joes joy D. she realized Joe recovered47. Paragraph 2-4 are written to _. A. expose the dangers of strokes B. identify the problems Joe faced C. describe Joes recovery from beginning to end D. show readers the process of “dolphin-assisted therapy”48. What does the underlined word listless mean in paragraph 3? A. angry and inflexible B. more mature and silent C. lacking energy and concern D. careful and shy49. Which statement about Joe is Not True? A. Joe received several surgeries on the heart when he was a little child. B. Joe was the first one to receive dolphin-assisted therapy. C. Doctors used to think that Joe could not recover. D. Now Joe worked with his parents in the Island Dolphin Care.50. We may conclude from the passage that _. A. dolphin therapy has helped many children to improve their lives B. Joe recovered faster because of his desire to live with Fonzie C. doctors mistake during his surgeries brought Joe great pain D. his mothers company contributes greatly to Joes recoveryIV.综合填空（共10小题，每小时1分，满分10分。）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个恰当的词，并将答案填写在答题卷上。Remember to be a good boy or a girl any time.
