Since Art History class in college, I hadalways admiredhis works andI was lucky to see a large exhibition of his works when I was in myearly 30s. It was at this event that I bought a print of his painting “Snap the Whip”. It always hungin my classroom until I retiredfrom teaching.I thought it truly captured the freedom andfun of childhood. In the painting,a group of youngboys are playing a game arm in arm on the grass groundin front of a farm house. They are jumpingandlaughing wildly with great joy. One of the boys is falling down to the ground. They are not evenwearing shoes!During my last year of teaching，there was a young woman in her first year of teaching rightnext door to me andwe got to be goodfriends. She hadbeen an art student before taking upeducation. Her eyes were drawn immediately to this print when she enteredmy room. So on my lastday of teaching, after the students hadleft, I took the painting off the wall andwalkednext door andgave it to her.She was really surprised，but very gladto have it. I was delightedthat she likedit andall thestudents she wouldhave wouldtreasure it as much as I had. We foundthe perfect place for it on oneof her walls andhung it together. I was happy that she brought back this wonderful memory for me.24. Why didthe author admire the painting “Snap the Whip”so much？_________A. He hada deep love for children andstudents.B. It was bought from a famous American painter.C. He appreciatedthe freedom andfun in the painting.D. It hadalso drawn the attention of the young woman.25. What is the painting about？__________A. The nature of children.B. Homeless children.C. Hard-working farmers.D. The pleasure of working.26. What does the underlinedword“captured”in Paragraph 2 probably mean？________A. Recognized.B. Caught.C. Controlled.D. Recovered.27. How didthe author feel when seeing the painting hung in the woman’s room？________A. Regretful.B. Painful.C. Proud.D. Pleased.COn my first day of high school, I asked an eleventh grader where my class was. And he told me it was “on the fourth floor, next to the pool.” I found out five minutes later that we don’t even have a fourth floor and there’s no pool either! Besides that, I didn’t have any trouble with the older kid.学I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load（工作量）and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 55, but joining in clubs, sports, music, and other activities at school makes it easier to get toknow people in every grade.The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before, gotten an A, and not remembered anything later. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, they’re also around in high school. I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke, but are no w partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for(申请)college. The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don’t follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make y our own decisions.28. What does the author think of high school?________A. There are very few activities.B. It’s hard to meet new people there.C. It requires hard work.D. There isn’t enough time for homework.29. The author advises high school students to ________.A. get ready for tests the night beforeB. give up sportsC. try their best to get good gradesD. choose useful classes30. The text is probably written by ________.A. a chemistry teacherB. a high school studentC. a college studentD. a sports player31. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. not to lose ourselves in high school源B. not to go to any party in high schoolC. about the importance of making friendsD. about the trouble caused by drinking and smoking[DThe English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules thatapply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate(准确的). The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words.In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her."Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air." Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words.The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course, many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.32. When we begin to learn English, we think _________.A. it is interesting to pick up a new languageB. English rules are wrongly presented in factC. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD. only adults have the ability to affect a language33. From paragraph 3 we can know that_________.A. we can change the English languageB. many languages are changing over yearsC. English has changed little in the past 1,000 yearsD. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation34. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?_________A. people speak in different waysB. people have adopted foreign wordsC. it has been affected by American EnglishD. makers of dictionaries often change them35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?_________A. Foreign words involved in English.B. The British speaks differently from Americans.C. English language is changing over years.D. You can change the English language.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。
