He then left school and joined a firm of art dealers in the large city of The Hague. He eventually realized that dealing with others artwork was not his profession, his true love was to become an artist himself.He devoted much of his time to learning the fundamentals of drawing. Van Gogh believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when he developed a style and talent for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.Van Goghs paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. The colors jump off the canvas（画布）, not only because of their brightness but also because of the brush strokes（笔画）. Van Gogh avoided light, feathery strokes, which would portray typical subjects. Instead, he used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional.Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Goghs use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls（打旋）across the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brush stroke creates the image of movement. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glance of the beauty of the night sky. The Starry Night shows Van Goghs ability to create a powerful image with simple subjects.Van Gog spent only the last ten years of his life painting. He is believed to have sold only one of the 900 paint he created during those years. Yet Van Gogh today is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. He influence is evident; many painters mimic his style and use of color. His artwork can be found in museums all over the would and is valued in the millions of dollars, a testament to Vincent Van Goghs talent.29. How did Van Gogh learn to paint?A. By reading many books about art.B. By familiarizing himself with basic techniques.C. By closely observing the world around him.D. By carefully studying the techniques of others.30. What does the author seem to admire most about Van Goghs paintings?A. The images.B. The mood.C. The brushwork.D. The themes.31. Why does the author refer to The Starry Night?A. To praise Van Goghs ability.B. To show Van Goghs style of painting.C. To show Van Goghs respect of nature.D. To honnor the great genius.DIn colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isnt a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And theres value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.But its not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though theyre sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadnt gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.32.What is the reality of college students?A. They throw parties a lot.B. They stay up late every night.C. They pay no attention to exams.D. They work besides attending classes.33.What has caused the increasing number of working students?A. The need of developing social networks.B. The lack of summer jobs for young adults.C. The chance of finding a job after graduation.D. The expenses of high tuition and living costs.34.We can learn from the passage that _.A. working students are more likely to finish collegeB. students can cover their college expenses through workingC. students receive a huge reward for managing work and classD. dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits35.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Difficulties of Landing a Job.B. The Struggle of Work-School Balance.C. The Reward of Working While Studying.D. The Images of Working College Students.第二节（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。It is very important for kids to be courageous.
