just 14 minutes. this boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and drawn comparisons to pablo picasso, a child prodigy（神童）who became one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century. it all began on a family holiday to cornwall on the southwest english coast when kieron was five. inspired by the view, he asked his parents for his first sketch-pad （速写纸）. from that moment on, he became deeply interested. while supportive, kierons parents are careful not to push their son. he only paints when and what he wants. he has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his works have been flooding in. his father said a sale of kierons works held in november even drew a buyer from japan. “we had people driving down that night, there were people on the door waiting to come in the morning who had been standing outside, the phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine oclock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone, ” he said. all this talent, money and high praise could so easily go to a young boys head, but kieron said his friends keep him grounded. “some of them want to be as good as me and some of them think. . . umn, you are not too special,” he said. kierons favourite painter is british artist edward seago and he has spent some of his earnings buying a work by his hero. the rest is being invested by his parents until he reaches 25. kierons parents and his younger sister billi-jo dont see him as anything other than a normal seven-year-old boy who likes to tear around the house and whos mad about football. but for now, with so much still to learn, theres only one thing he wants to be when he grows up. he said, “i think ill definitely be an artist. ”28. in kieron williamsons friends opinion, he _. a. is famous but a little

cooper who, with his dearest young son john, loved art collecting. together they traveled around the world, collecting the finest art treasures. one winter, war came to the nation, and john left to serve his country. after only a few short weeks, his father received a telegram reading that john had died while saving a fellow soldier. filled with sadness, the old man cried. on the coming christmas morning, a soldier called on him and gave him a picture of john. the following spring, the old man became ill and passed away. according to his will, all of his works of art would be auctioned (拍卖) on christmas day, when he had received the greatest gift of his life. the day soon arrived and art collectors from around the world gathered to buy some of the worlds greatest paintings. the auction began with a painting of the old mans son. “who will open the bidding (出价) with $100?” the auctioneer (拍卖人) asked. minutes passed, but no one spoke. finally, a neighbor of the old mans spoke. “can i take the painting for ten dollars? it is all i have, and he is a good man.”“will anyone go higher?” called the auctioneer. after more silence, the auctioneer said, “going once, going twice, gone.” the gavel(槌) fell. “now we can get on to the real treasures,” someone shouted angrily. but the auctioneer said that the auction was over. someone asked, “its over? we didnt come here for a picture of some old guys son. there are millions of dollars worth of art here!” the auctioneer replied, “its very simple. according to the will of the father, whoever takes the son . gets all.”31. why did they travel around the world?a. they wanted to visit some well-known artists.b. they had their own companies around the world.c. they wanted to visit all kinds of places of

who was worth respectingd. because no one else was willing to buy it35. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. the old man and the auctioneer were good friendsb. no art collectors wanted to buy mr. coopers collection of artc. john was a successful art collector and an excellent artistd. the old man, mr. cooper, loved his son very much(c)last year my wife and i spent a most interesting month in turkey. before we left, we were reminded of the difficulties of driving in turkey. we certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (铺设). we drove for 12 days along the western coast of turkey and had no problems at all. we found the turkish drivers to be very polite and well educated. we also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult, so we picnicked almost every day. the following day after our arrival was turkeys childrens day, started by mustafa kemal ataturk. ataturk loved children and he often said: “children are a new beginning of tomorrow.” he even dedicated (奉献) the day 23rd of april to the children which today is celebrated as childrens day as well as the date when the republic of turkey was founded.on that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be the president of turkey for a whole day. he can decide whats going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president next to him. there are a very large number of possibilities of things he can do but some shops arent open because they are celebrating the day as well. all in all, it was a more enjoyable trip. i would recommend (推荐) a trip to turkey to anyone with an adventurous (冒险的) spirit!36. before the author and his wife went on a trip to turkey, they were told that _.a. it was difficult to travel in turkey b. it was not easy to drive in turkeyc. the streets in turkey were dangerous d. there were many mountainous roads37. which of the following is true, according to the first paragraph?a. places in mountain areas were difficult to reach.b. the couple drove for 12 days during their journey.c. the turkish drivers had good manners.d. it was difficult to eat meals in turkey.(d)finding a good friend can be quite difficult in the contemporary lives of teenagers. i was once baffled by what the definition of a good friend was，until i discovered a single step that，if taken，would make you the greatest friend. it is willingness. that is all it takes in order to be considered a good friend. willingness must come from within your heart. listening to your friends makes them feel important, special and wanted. the will to sacrifice(牺牲) for your friends will also take you a step closer to being a good friend. for instance，as you are about to leave to enjoy your saturday night，your best friend calls you right when you are stepping out and tells you how terrible he feels，and then you must be willing to give up your saturday night and go to your friends house and try to comfort him in any way that you can. you must always be willing to give advice to your friends. for example, if your friends are in a situation where they do not know what to do，you must be willing to think things through and try to give them the best advice. the willingness to care is also a big must in being a good friend. you must care about how your friends feel and what theyre experiencing. caring about your friends is one of the best things you can do，because when your friends are in their time of need and the whole world seems to turn against them，you must be the one to care. nobody ever said being a good friend was easy. if you want to be a good friend，you have to be willing to listen, sacrifice，give advice and care about your friends. 41. from this passage，we can learn that if a friend is confused about what to do next, wed better _ . a. give up our benefit to help him b. leave him alone and let him calm down c. listen to him quietly d. offer him some reasonable advice42. the underlined word “baffled” in the first paragraph probably means “_”. a. confusedb. frustrated c. curious d. frightened43. we can learn from the passage that _ . a. being a good friend is so difficult that few people can do it b. willingness can make a person a good friend c. friendship always means sacrificing your own interests d. a person doesnt need to care about his friends all the time44. what method does the author use to explain his opinion in the second paragraph? a. making a definition. b. citing an example. c. making a comparison. d. listing some numbers. 45. what is the passage mainly talking about? a. how to encounter a good friend. b. how to be a good friend. c. how to make friends with others. d. how to maintain friendship. 第二节: 信息匹配(共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分)下列短文是关于几个英语学习网站的介绍。请阅读下列短文和相关信 息，并按照要求匹配信息。首先，请阅读下列笔友俱乐部成员的信息：a. culture fan: karen, 17, american. shes simply fascinated with other
