He wrote many popular stories for children all over the world. April 2 is his birthday and it is also Childrens Book Day.Andersen was born(出生) in 1805. When he was a little boy, his father read him a story every day. He felt very happy at that time. But his father died when he was 11 years old. Then he had to leave school. Andersen started working as an actor and singer. He loved reading books so much that he went back to school at 17. His first book came out in 1835. From then on, he wrote about one book a year for 37 years.There will be a park about Andersens sales(传说) and life in Shanghai.

In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people dont need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people dont have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.So what is education for? Education is wellrounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.（1）People with better education usually _. A . have fewer chance to choose a good jobB . have more chances to get a good jobC . make less money than othersD . spend the best years making money（2）The earliest education was probably to _. A . teach a man to think creativelyB . teach people to read good booksC . improve a man in many waysD . help people make more money（3）What does the underlined word “wellrounded” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A . 圆满的B . 崭新的C . 全面的D . 公平的（4）It is expected that educated people will be able to _. A . write good books by themselvesB . learn all the subjects very wellC . take an interest in the worldD . lead a richer life than others（5）The passage mainly tells us that _. A . making a living is not the only purpose of education.B . people can get education in a short time.C . people should study hard to get better paying jobs.D . all subjects are very important for a way of living.17. （8分）阅读理解 What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象的)art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything?Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didnt want their art to be realistic(现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his blue period). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his rose period). Many of his other paintings are called cubist (立体派的) because they are made of painted squares. After a long time, Picassos paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didnt understand it. Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义画家)，were interested in subconsciousness (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasnt always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams. There are still many abstract artists around the world. Thats the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it. （1）Which would be most like abstract art? A . A painting of a house.B . A sculpture of a car.C . A drawing of two people in a coffee house.D . A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.（2）What happened to Picassos work after a long time? A . It became more abstract.B . It became less strange.C . He went from using red colours to using blue colours.D . He only painted with coloured squares.（3）How did Kandinsky express feelings? A . By using strong colours.B . By painting realistic people.C . By painting with a lot of symbols.D . By painting in red and pink colours.（4）Which of the following is NOT true? A . Picasso painted in many different styles.B . Dali was interested in dreams.C . Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.D . Magrittes art was full of symbols.四、 阅读短文，回答问题 (共1题；共5分)18. （5分）任务型阅读，阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下列各题。In the past， many students practiced English with their pen friends they sent letters to people all around the world. However， we now send emails to others and chat with people who live quite far away on the Internet.Heres some advice on how to succeed in your online language exchanges：How to start a conversation when speaking English online When you speak to somebody online， start by asking “Yes or No” questions. Use questions such as “Do you like ?” or “Can you ?” or “Have you ever ?”Remember your goal. You are trying to learn about the other person. Think about things you enjoy and try to find some common ground between you. And share your own experiences to show that you have similar interests. If you only ask questions， you will sound like a policeman or a policewoman!How to keep a conversation going “Listen” carefully. In that way， you can get to know somebody well.
