A"I never knew before, Cecil, that you were so fond of drawing," said Aunt Sophia, as she looked over the shoulder of her nephew, who was busy with his pencil. "You really have madegreat progress.""I need to do so," cried Cecil, "if I am to carry off the prize for drawing, as I am determined to do this term.""I should have thought," said the aunt, "that you had little chance against Lee. He is an artist's son, and has used the pencil, one might almost say, from his cradle.""That will double the pleasure of beating him!" cried Cecil, dashing the bough of a tree into his picture, as if he meant what he said. "I'm working now at this four hours a day; he never draws more than two.""You are not neglecting your Latin for it, I hope? You have had the Latin prize every term for these three years past," said Aunt Sophia."Yes," replied Cecil, with a proud smile; "there is no boy in our class can match me in that, though Russell is now working hard. But I am not content with one prize:I cannot rest till I have won the paint-box for drawing, of which Tom Lee makes so sure. It would be glorious to beat the son of an artist on his own ground!""Take care," said his aunt, gently laying her hand on his shoulder, "that you do not lose the Latin prize, in trying for that which you are not likely to gain. Remember the fable of the dog that dropped the substance, in catching at the shadow."On the evening of the day on which the names of the prize-winners were read out, Cecil came home from school gloomy and grave. His looks told his aunt enough to make her spare him the pain of questions; but his little sister Rosey was not so thoughtful." Cecil," she cried, running eagerly up to him, "tell me, are you to get the two prizes?""No, not even one. I was so busy trying to beat Lee, that I could not hold my ground against Russell." Cecil threw himself into a sofa in an angry mood.Their aunt silently hoped that the lesson might prove worth the pain which it cost.21.What made Cecil keep practicing drawing?A.His interest in drawing.B. His desire to win the prize.C. Lee’s being the son of an artist.D. Russell’s working hard on Latin.22.Which of the following words best describes Aunt Sophia?A.ConsiderateB. StrictC. DeterminedD. Optimistic23.Why did Cecil fail to win any prizes?A.He didn’t put in enough time.B. He had no talent.C. He was too ambitious.D. He was too tired.BCopenhageners (哥本哈根市民)love their bikes. Cycling is fast, convenient, healthy, climate-friendly, enjoyable and cheap. Copenhageners honestly love their bikes no matter what their financial income is. Even top politicians ride their bikes every day to parliament (国会).Currently, Copenhagen is building even more green routes and bridges through Copenhagen to ensure a safe and green transport route for cyclists. Cycle super highways are already a reality, leading cyclists in and out of the city from as far as 15 kilometres away.Thus Copenhagen is a city that invites you to cycle. It is simply our way of life, and if you want to experience it the local way, you have to cycle around. As a first time visitor in Copenhagen, the number of bicycles on the streets can be overwhelming, but you will soon get the hang of it and start loving it.Many hotels in Copenhagen provide bicycles for their guests. There are plenty of bike rentals and bike tours on offer, or you can rent one of the new electric city bikes for a very low cost per hour. In 1995, Copenhagen was one of the first cities in the world to launch free city bikes for its citizens and visitors. The first generation of bikes later retired, and in 2013, a brand new generation of electric city bikes with GPS and tourist information was introduced. Now, some 1,800 bikes are spread across the streets of the Danish capital.It is no wonder that The International Cycling Union, UCI, appointed Copenhagen the first official Bike City in the world and it has been ranked the world’s top cycling city for two years in a row. Other cities, such as New York, look to Copenhagen for inspiration. Danish architect and urban planner Jan Gehl is famous for teaching other cities around the world how to plan for a bike culture. It even has its own term:“copenhenization”,or "to copenhagenize".24. What is Copenhagen trying to do nowadays?A. Guarantee a safe and green cycling route.B. Appeal to politicians to cycle to parliament.C. Construct more roads and bridges for vehicles.D. Build a 15-kilometer-long cycle super highway.25. Who is most likely to be the author?A.

What is the best title for the text?A. The Rise of CopenhagenB. Bike Cities around the WorldC. Copenhagen’s Bike CultureD. Cycle Highways in CopenhagenCPhotographer Carolina Sandretto spent the past four years documenting (记录)398 of Cuba’s remaining cinemas. It was an experience that, she says, was a source of near constant surprise. “As I never had a precise map of where the cinemas were located or even if they were still existing, each one was a discovery and an achievement on its own,” she says. For thisproject, now a book called Cines de Cuba, Sandretto searched the country for remaining movie houses.Between the 1900s and the 1950s, Cuba was a prosperous (繁荣)island living under the influence of the United States. By 1955, there were 600 movie theaters on the island and 147 in Havana alone. Some of these cinemas were funded by American film companies, such as the Warner (now Yara), which Warner Bros, opened in 1947.The Yara is one of the few Cuban cinemas that remain operational today. “During the years of the Cuban Revolution, the cinemas have been taken away from their owners and remained since in the hands of the government,” says Sandretto. “Unfortunately, the funds have been inadequate and to keep such a huge number of cinemas open has been impossible for the state. In the last 50 years, almost 80 percent of the cine mas have been closed.”Today, only 19 of these movie theaters are equipped to show digital films. Though since she started her project, Sandretto has seen changes. “In Havana, some cinemas have reopened their doors as cinemas, and artists are now using the cinemas for dance companies, like the Arenal and the Mara. In the rest of the country the population is slowly taking advantage of these huge spaces and reusing the cinemas in various ways,” she says. “It’s going to be a slow process but I personally thin k that the cinemas will have a new life in the next years.”28. What has Sandretto been doing in the past four years?A. Publishing a book called Cines de Cuba.B. Watching movies in Cuban cinemas.C. Finding out about cinemas in Cuba.D. Searching for a precise map of Cuba.29. Most of the cinemas were closed mainly because ___________.A. they lacked the fundB. they were state-ownedC. people lost interest in filmsD. the revolution affected them30. What is Sandretto’s attitude towards the future of the cinemas in Cuba?A. AmbiguousB. HopefulC. DoubtfulD. T olerant第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
