一、阅读理解
A
The city of Florence eats,sleeps and breathes art.Examples of man’s artistic genius stand on nearly every street.Dozens of museums and art shops wait to be explored.
During the Renaissance,Florence was a paradise for artists themselves.Before this time,art focused completely on religious subjects.Renaissance art began to include more variety.Artists painted pictures of ordinary people.They painted scenes from history and characters from Greek and Roman myths (神话).
Michelangelo was the greatest of Florence’s artists.Visitors line up for hours at the Academia Museum for a look at his impressive David.This 14-foot-high statue has become the ideal human figure of the Renaissance.David is an example of Michelangelo’s talent for sculpting people simply,yet powerfully.
More of Michelangelo’s works can be seen in the great Palazzo Vecchio.Paintings and carvings of famous Italian artists fill the palace rooms.
A short walk through the narrow streets of Florence brings visitors to the famous Uffizi Gallery.It has an outstanding art collection.Visitors should be sure to wear comfortable shoes,as exploring the gallery takes many hours.Some of the most famous works in the collection include Botticelli’s Primavera and The Birth of Venus.
Even visitors tired of art won’t want to miss the Pitti Palace.Once home to Florence’s powerful Medici family,the large palace now houses three museums.Filled with priceless art,the countless rooms glitter (闪光) with gold decorations.For a breath of fresh air,wander among the statues and fountains of the palace gardens.
To get a feel of modern Florence,join the evening walk.This traditional feature of Italian life begins around 6 pm.People walk down the streets of central Florence to do last-minute shopping or just chat with friends.Be sure to walk past Perch Noi,home of the oldest and best ice cream in the city.
Florence has given the world many great art treasures.Some stand in gardens and squares.Others line the walls of beautiful palaces.Still others are the palaces themselves.For art lovers,Florence is indeed paradise.

B
The regular editor of the agricultural paper was going off for a holiday,and I took his place.
It was an easy job since I’ve been in the editorial business for fourteen years.I worked all week with untiring pleasure and waited a day to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice.As I went to the office in the morning,a group of men stood outside,watching me with interest,and I heard one or two of them say:“That’s him!” I was naturally pleased.
After a while,an old gentleman entered my office and asked me,“Are you the new editor?”
I said I was.
“Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before?”
“No,” I said.“This is my first try.”
“I’d like to read you this:‘Turnips (大头菜) should never be pulled;it injures them.It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.’”
“Now,what do you think of that?”
“I think it is good.Every year millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled.If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree ...”
“Shake your grandmother! Turnips don’t grow on trees!”
“Oh,they don’t?Well,who said they did?The language was intended to be figurative (比喻的).”
Then this old person tore his paper into pieces,and went out.
Pretty soon after this,the editor came in,looking sad and confused.
He said,“What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature?You talk of the moulting (换羽毛) season for cows;and you say that clams (蛤蜊) will lie quiet if music were played to them.Nonsense! Clams always lie quiet and they care nothing about music.Ah,heavens and earth,friend! Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t know anything about agriculture?”
【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者接下一份农业报代理编辑的工作并编出一份让人啼笑皆非的报纸的经历。
5.How did the author feel at the first sight of the men?
A.Frightened.
B.Confused.
C.Angry.
D.Happy.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第二段末句“I was naturally pleased.”可知,作者看到很多人站在自己的办公室门外,理所当然地认为自己编辑的农业报大获成功,感到非常高兴。
6.What can we infer about the author?
A.He was full of creative ideas.
B.He was a newcomer to the editing business.
C.He had no experience in editing agricultural papers.
D.He couldn’t tell the difference between certain plants.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据文中作者和老先生的对话“‘Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before?’‘No,’I said.‘This is my first try.’”可知,作者对于编辑农业报毫无经验。
7.Why did the old gentleman read the article to the author?
A.To ask for the author’s opinion.
B.To point out the author’s mistake.
C.To find out if it was written by the author.
D.To discuss the use of language with the author.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据老先生在撕碎报纸前说的“Shake your grandmother! Turnips don’t grow on trees!”可知,老先生给作者读那篇文章是想指出作者的错误。
8.What was the editor’s reaction to the author?
A.He expressed thanks to the author.
B.He was strongly dissatisfied with the author.
C.He praised the author for his humorous language.
D.He asked the author to improve his agricultural knowledge.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据农业报编辑在最后一段一一指出作者的荒唐之处(牛换羽毛的季节、给蛤蜊奏乐就可以使它规规矩矩待着不动)并认为作者对农业一窍不通可知,他对作者非常不满。
