priest（牧师）who asked him where he was going. “i do not know，” said the artist，“i want to paint the most beautiful thing in the world.perhaps you can _32_ me to it.”“how simple，” replied the priest，“in any church，you will find it faith is the most beautiful thing in the world.”the artist traveled on._33_，he met a young bride who told him that the most beautiful thing in the world is “love”. “love” _34_ the world go round.it _35_ poverty into riches，sweetens tears and makes much of little._36_ love there is no beauty.still the artist _37_ his search and met a weary soldier.the artist asked him the _38_ question and the soldier answered，“ peace is the most beautiful thing in the world.war is ugly and _39_ you find peace youll find beauty，faith and love.”“how can i _40_ them faith，love and

dhome第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。ano poem should ever be discussed or analyzed(分析），until it has been read aloud by someone，teacher or student.better still，perhaps，is the practice of reading it twice，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.all discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is，finally，the most telling “interpretation”（解释）of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，and meaning all at once.hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice，on records or on films，is obviously a special reward.but even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and the teacher reading it.i have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analyzing it，if there isnt time for both.i think one of our goals as teachers of english is to have students love poetry.poetry is a criticism（批评，评论）of life，and a heightening（提升）of life.it is an approach to the truth of feeling，and it can save your life.i am not saying that every english teacher must teach poetry.those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.but those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential（基本的 ）nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.51to have a better understanding of a poem，one should _.adiscuss it with others banalyze it by oneselfccopy it down in a notebook dpractice reading it aloud52which of the following is not mentioned as a function of poetry?aextending（扩展) your life. bsaving your life.ccriticizing life. dheightening life.53according to the writer，one of the purposes of teaching english is to get students_.ato understand life bto enjoy poetrycto become teachers dto become poets54the best title of the passage may be “_”areading poems loud banalyze poems cenjoy poems dlearn englishbanyone can write a baby poem. and everyone enjoys reading them, young and old. baby shower (婴儿洗礼) poems can have rhythm and rhyme, but they certainly dont have to. poems can be either long or short, but short is probably best for your typical baby shower needs.you can add a little humor as well!the people who are most often touched by baby shower poems are those who have had children themselves.sweet poems can remind them of the time when their little ones were still young.no one will appreciate them more than the family members themselves.if you are a creative writer or have a special talent for putting words together in a special way, then you should try writing your own baby shower poems. this would make a great gift idea as well.if you decide to write your own baby poems, even common things can inspire you. inspiration (灵感)can be found anywhere. look to your own memories from the past. what was special about your childhood? what special object have you treasured over the years? what words of wisdom (智慧) of advice could you pass on to the next generation? look around the house and imagine a baby being there.what do you see, hear, or feel? let those thoughts be the source of your best baby poems.when writing a baby poem, you do not have to write like shakespeare,you just have to be sincere. years later when the baby has grown, think of how special they will feel knowing the words were just for them.if you are not the creative type dont worry！there are lots of places online where you can look for poems saying just the things you want to say.poems have been written on all subjects throughout the ages, and baby poems and baby shower poems are no exception.a quick search online doesnt have to take any time at all.55in the authors opinion, baby shower poems _aall have a little humor in them bare not suitable for adults to enjoy cdont have to have rhythm or rhyme dmust be short enough to meet babies needs56what does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?aadvice from famous poets on writing poems bwords that can be used in baby poems.cdifferent ways of writing baby poems.:dinspiration for writing baby poems.57according to paragraph 4，a baby poem should sound _aencouraging bsincere cbeautiful dinteresting58what would be the best title for the passage?awrite baby poems to say whats on your heartbthe most beautiful poems in the worldchow babies read poems dhow poems inspire babiesc.art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. the increasingly popular“design museums”that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. these museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.people have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. but their role is not simply a matter of salesit is the honoring of excellently invented products. the difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.one advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. this is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding.in recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. each of these museums has tried to satisfy the publics growing interest in the field with new ideas. londons design museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of italian fish-tins. the choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.59. showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they . a. show more technologically advanced productsb. help increase the sales of productsc. show why the products have sold welld. attract more people than store windows do60. the author believes that most design museum visitors .a. do not admire mass-produced products b. are puzzled with technological exhibitsc. dislike exhibits in art museums d. know the exhibits very well61. the choices open to design museums .a. are not as strict as those to art museums b. are not aimed at interesting the publicc. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors d. often contain precious exhibits62. whats the best title for this passage?a. the forms of design museums b. the exhibits of design museumsc. the nature of design museums d. the choices open to design museumsdtravelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during spring break a week long school vacation in the united states. but what if youre a student and dont have enough money for a trip? dont worry. here are some useful suggestions. save: this probably is the most important preparation for travelling. cut expenses to fatten your wallet so youll have more choices about where to go and how to get there. plan ahead: dont wait until the last minute to plan your trip. tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security (安全) and savings. do your homework: no matter where you go, research the places you will visit. decide what to see. travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants. plan sensibly: write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything. travel in groups: find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. by travelling with others you can share costs and experiences. work as you go: need more money to support your trip? look for work in the places you visit. go off the beaten path: tourist cities may be expensive. you may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesserknown area. smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights. pack necessary things: the most important things to take are not always clothes: remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant. use the internet: the net can help to save money. some useful websites include www. travelocity. com, www. bargainslowestfare. com and www. economictravel. com.by planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.63. this passage is mainly about _.ahow to plan your travel b. how to travel with enough moneyc. how to make your travel interesting d. how to get life experiences64. before your trip, the first thing you should do is

of these canvases(油画), although the most commonly referred to are the seven he painted while in arles（阿尔勒 ）in 18881889. he had painted the other five while in paris in 1887.while vincent himself never actually stated why he liked the sunflowers in particular, references(附以供参考 ) to them are made in his many letters, which help give us some ideas. in a letter to his sister dated 21 august 1888, he talked of his friend gauguin coming to live with him in arles. then goes on to say that he would like to decorate the whole studio with nothing but sunflowers.vincent had quite an attachment(附件) to the flowers personally. in the year before his death he wrote to his brother, “it is a kind
