There is a trick that you can use to help you get started. The trick is to look at all objects as simple shapes. If you are able to draw a square, a circle, and a triangle (三角形), you can draw anything as a matter of fact.Think of each shape as part of a family. The square family includes all shapes with four sides. The circle family contains shapes with one curved (弯曲的), connected line. The triangle family includes three-sided shapes.When you are ready to draw something, look at it closely and think about which shape family it belongs to. Take the following things as examples. Lampshades are part of the triangle family. Most flowers fit in the circle family. Couches and fences go with the square family. Some objects combine shapes from a few families. When you know what shapes are in the object that you want to draw, you are really ready to begin.Remember to hold your pencil loosely. You should lightly draw the basic shapes that make up your object. Then look closely at the object, and add details to the basic shapes. Work on only one part at a time. When you are happy with the drawing, darken the main lines. If you wish, clean with an eraser the basic shapes that you drew first.With practice, your squares will become buildings, vehicles, and many other objects. Your circles will turn into wheels, clocks, and many other objects. Your triangles will become mountain ranges, tents and many other objects. Castles and dragons also start out as basic shapes. There is no end to what you will be able to draw.36. What does the author think you should do before you start to draw pictures?A. You should hold your pencil loosely.B. You should describe the object carefully.C. You should regard the object as a simple shape.D. You should know how many shapes the object has.37. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means .A. all pictures belong to the three shape familiesB. you can draw anything with three shape familiesC. you can develop your interest in drawing day by dayD. people can draw every shape by using their imagination38. In which column of a newspaper can we read this text?A. Culture.B. Technology.C. Education.D. Industry.BA man who will run the London Marathon barefoot said the death of his father last week has given new courage to his challenge. Simon Grundy, 37, decided to take part, so his 77-year-old father, Roy, would have something to focus on after being diagnosed (诊断) with a brain cancer just over a year ago.The Australian, who now lives in the village of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, said, “At first, we thought my dad would come to London to watch me, but then he got too weak and was planning to watch the race on television. He was very supportive. His death has given new courage to my run and has given me a lot to think about on the day. It is going to be a very emotional day.”Mr. Grundy, who is raising money for Brain Cancer UK, described how his father started falling over and forgetting thing s. “He had to stop working in his carpet cleaning company, which he loved. He was really excited about the marathon and was helping to organize fundraising (筹款) events among his friends,” he said.Mr. Grundy said his feet were toughened (变坚韧) by walking barefoot in his homeland, and he has been perfecting his technique ever since. He added that he has used high-strength glue to treat a wound to his foot. Francesca Towson, Brain Cancer UK’s community fundraiser, said, “Simon’s determination to run the Virgin London Marathon barefoot for us is very inspiring and greatly appreciated. We are so sorry for his loss and will think of him every step of the way. Our team is trying to beat last year’s target (目标) of £90,000 to help the research into this disease.”39.

Kinari Webb is an American doctor who helped start the non-profit group that runs the clinic. The group is known as ASRI. Dr. Webb says most villagers value the local forests, but illegal logging (采伐) is often their only way to earn money to pay for health care, even if they know it’s good to protect the forest.The clinic is in Sukadana, a village outside Gunung Palung National Park. Each month someone from ASRI visits the surrounding villages to see if people are logging or burning land within the park. Villagers who do not take part in illegal logging pay about 40% less for health care than those who do. Also, the clinic uses a system of barter to allow patients to pay with things like handmade baskets or young trees.Patients learn about environmental protection when they wait at the clinic. Many of the 70 staff members also help villagers learn about organic farming and other ways to earn money. In May ASRI employed some forest guardians to prevent illegal logging with local villagers. One of them said he entered the program because ASRI cured his son.However, at first villagers did not trust the clinic. They wanted to go to the only hospital in the area. Yet its resources are limited and villagers often have to travel more than two hours to get there.Now, villagers happily share stories about the clinic. Amel ia’s mother is one of them. She started going there when her daughter was eight months old. She says the treatment is good.43. Why do some local villagers do illegal logging?A. Because they have no money to pay for health care.B. Because they need money to support their family.C. Because they think it’s no use protecting forests.D. Because they need wood for building houses.44. The underlined word “barter” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. exchange of goods for other goods without using moneyB. donations from ASRI to those who have no moneyC. a 40% discount that patients can get for health careD. a free treatment that patients can get from the clinic45. The clinic was set up for many purposes EXCEPT .A. teaching patients organic farmingB. giving patients the treatmentC. punishing villagers for illegal loggingD. protecting local forests46.

Local villagers prefer the only hospital in the area to the clinic.D. Forest guardians can punish villagers who do illegal logging.DWhen nutritionists (营养学家) and health experts talk about how to stay healthy, they often include two simple tips: getting exercise and eating right. But many neighborhoods lack parks to play or exercise in, and supermarkets may be a drive away. So staying healthy close to home might be a tall order for some kids.Two new studies show that children who live close to parks and markets that sell fresh food are half as likely to be obese (肥胖的) as children who live far from these places. The research reveals (揭露) the influence of environmental factors on people’s health, in particular obesity, according to Laura Kettel Khan, a nutritionist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.Lawrence Frank, an urban planner and public health researcher at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, led one of the studies. Urban planners study the design of cities and work to build better places to live. He and his colleagues looked at hundreds of neighborhoods in California’s San Diego County and in Washington’s King County, which includes Seattle.They judged each neighborhood based on nutrition and physical activity. The neighborhoods that scored highest on nutrition had a supermarket nearby that sold fresh produce and few fast food restaurants in the area.Neighborhoods that scored highest on physical activity had parks and were walkable, which means residents can walk to many places they’d want to go. The researchers then looked at health information from 681 children, aged 6 to 11, who lived in those areas. About 1 in 12 children who lived in neighborhoods near parks or supermarkets were obese. In neighborhoods lacking parks and markets, the obesity rate among children doubled, to about 1 in 6.47. Who is most likely to become obese according to the text?A. A child who lives close to a supermarket.B. A child whose home is near a park.C. A child who lives in a neighborhood that is not walkable.D. A child who lives in a walkable neighborhood.48. What can we learn from the text?A. Children living near parks may get more exercise.B. Good nutrition can lead to obesity.C. Environment has nothing to do with obesity.D. People had better live far away from markets.49. The purpose of the study led by Lawrence Frank is to .A. find out the main cause of obesityB. improve the neighborhood designC. choose the best neighborhoodD. stop children becoming obese50. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Better neighborhoods have more obese people.B. Better neighborhoods mean better health.C. Good nutrition keeps people healthy.D. Location is linked to obesity.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。
