Most famous works of art were based on real settings, and maybe you can visit them on your vacation. Here are three examples.‎ ‎ Vincent Van Gogh’s “ Café Terrace at Night”‎ ‎ Born in Holland, Van Gogh spent a great deal of time in France, and this painting was made in Arles on the Place du Forum in 1888. You can walk through the area, and even stop at the café that the painting was based on for a free taste of ice cream. You can also rent a bike and cycle through the countryside, some of which, according to Lonely Planet, was featured(特写)in other landscape paintings from Van Gogh.‎ ‎ Opening Times:19 Mar.—4 Nov. (Christmas season: 5 Nov.2016—3 Jan.2017)‎ ‎ Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” ‎ The subject of over 200 paintings from Monet is nothing if not a beautiful destination. Visiting the real-life pool of his water lily fascination is a good choice. The landscape paintings were done at his home in Giverny , a small town in northern France on the River Seine.‎ ‎ His home and gardens are open to visitors. It’s said that Monet was attracted by what he saw many years ago through a train window—eventually helping him decide to move there. ‎ Opening Times: Mid June to early September (Friday to Tuesday)‎ ‎ Salvador Dali’s “Port Lligat Landscape”‎ Not many of Dali's paintings are of this world, and most seem to be based on something internal(内在的).His paintings involving Port Lligat, such as “The Madonna of Port Lligat” and “Port Lligat Landscape”, are actually based on a real location, even if they feature angels and a trumpeting (吹号角的)horse rider.The landscape of the region also had a strong influence on his other works, even if the area was not directly featured in them. ‎ Opening Times: 10 am daily ‎21.When can you visit the café ?‎ ‎ A. Early March. B. Mid April. C. Early February. D.Mid January.‎ ‎22.Which works of art is painted more than 200 paintings?‎ ‎ A.Café Terrace at Night. B.The Madonna of Port Lligat.‎ ‎ C.Water Lilies. D. Port Lligat Landscape.‎ ‎23.What do we know about Salvador Dali?‎ ‎ A.He spent a lot of time in France. ‎ B. The masterpiece “Port Lligat Landscape” was imaginary.‎ C.The port is open to tourists only on Friday. ‎ ‎ D. “The Madonna of Port Lligat”was based on a real setting.‎ B ‎  For a long time, I had a firm faith that my suffering came from my size. I thought that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.          Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing their body will fix everything. Perhaps their worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We imagine what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last ,we find ourselves ‎ there. But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally achieve its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and of course, love.           It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with cultures. In Samoa(萨摩亚国), a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it's happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us struggle hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with others and cherish ourselves.When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.‎ ‎24.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _______.‎ A.tell people how to lose weight ‎ B.encourage people to put on weight C.express her attitude towards life ‎ D.show different standards about beauty ‎25.What can be inferred about the author?‎ A .The author probably got wounded in some accidents. ‎ B.The author is a Samoan.‎ C.The author was never troubled by her weight.‎ D.The author used to attempt to lose weight.‎ ‎26.According to the text ,those who have lost weight first and put on weight again feel_______.‎ A. satisfied with the regained weight ‎ B. pessimistic about the regained weight C. tired with weight control ‎ D. optimistic about future plans on weight control ‎27.Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. The author had a strong belief that her suffering came from her weight. ‎ B. Those losing weight can get true love. ‎ C. Putting on weight is attractive. ‎ D. It took the author little time to change her mind.‎ C Maybe you have the idea that if you possess more money,you will feel happy. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.‎ Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty abilities to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, but their house of life is a hut.‎ Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅),a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.‎ Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.‎ Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.‎ Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.‎ Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did play a bit. Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.‎ ‎28. According to the passage ,a person is unsatisfied because_______.‎ A. he is lacking in means to meet his desires B. he can’t satisfy his tastes C. he can’t earn a great deal of money D.he doesn’t have enough tastes or desires ‎ ‎29. The passage is aimed at telling us _______.‎ A . the more money we have, the happier we are B. it is of vital importance to take possession of a mansion C. true happiness is from spiritual riches ‎ D. big houses can bring richness of life all the time ‎30. All the following rooms your house of life should have are mentioned except _______.‎ A. art B. money C. music D. sports ‎31. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Literature and Sports. B. Rest and Refreshment. ‎ C. House of Life. D. Wealth and Happiness. ‎ ‎ D Companion robots are becoming more and more important in offering help to busy people looking after the elderly and children. With an aging population and an increasing labor shortage, the demand for companion robots for elder care and children’s companions is on the rise.‎ Xiaoyuzaijia is an intelligent companion robot produced by Zaijia.com, a Beijing-based startup engaged in internet hardware and intelligent home appliances businesses.‎ If the elderly people are ill at home, the robot can bring medicine and water. The robot will open the door when the guest comes. It can even tell a story, sing a song and play chess.‎ The number of elderly people aged 60 and above reached more than 222 million in 2015, accounting for 16.2 percent of the total population, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. It is estimated that the number will reach 243 million in 2020.‎ Song Chenfeng, founder and CEO of Zaijia, said: "The robot is equipped with a monitoring camera and other hardware for facial and voice recognition.” Family members could also connect their smart phones with the robot . “When the elderly fall or the children cry at home, the robot will send messages to inform other family members," he said. “The companion robot should be an important 'blue sea' in the intelligent household robot market. Xiaoyuzaijia aims at white-collar people who are busy with their work and spend less time accompanying their family members. It builds a bridge among family members and satisfies the emotional communication needs of modern people,” said Song.‎ Yuan Wenhui, chairman of Zaijia, said the company will offer personalized service in the family health care and children's education , based on big data algorithms(统计), aiming to be a necessary intelligent family housekeeper in the future.‎ Statistics from the International Federation of Robotics show that the market demand for service robots will boom in the next three years, with the market scale reaching $46 billion.‎ ‎32.Why will the companion robots be warmly welcomed?‎ A.They are extremely intelligent.‎ B.They can bring water and even play chess.‎ C.They are of great benefit in assisting the elder and children.‎ D.They can recognize the voice and facial expression.‎ ‎33.What does the underlined phrase “accounting for” in Paragraph 4 mean ?‎ A. making up.          B. taking off.       C. making out.       D. turning on.‎ ‎34.What service will the company offer in the future?‎ A. monitoring camera. B. emotional communications. ‎ C. smart phones. D. children’s education.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s attitude to the companion robots?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Critical D. Grateful.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ These ‘Heart-Healthy’ Food Are Actually Killing You ‎ It’s normal to reach for anything on the grocery store shelf that is labeled “heart healthy”. Since heart disease is the No.1 killer among both men and women, it benefits all of us to eat better for our hearts. 36 You could be putting something into your body that you think is good for you—but it could actually be deadly.‎ ‎ Not sure what foods have cheated you into thinking they benefit this vital organ? Here are three foods you should never buy again.‎ Nonfat anything Remember the health food craze of the‘90s when everything was “nonfat?” Well ,it might be one of the most misleading popularities of all time. The problem with taking the fat out of dairy products,‎ ‎ like yogurt, is that the fat is replaced with artificial sweeteners and a bunch of fillers for flavor. 37 So we’d better stick to plain(原味的) yogurt ,which is connected to good blood pressure and cholesterol(胆固醇). ‎ ‎ Tea This one might surprise you. Tea is supposed to be one of the healthiest things you can put into your body, right ? To be clear, most loose-leaf teas are good for you, but the bottled teas we typically reach for at the store are loaded with heart-harming materials. This variety of tea, Like Snapple, contains very little brewed tea（酿造茶）, but enough added sugar to be as bad for you as a soda. 38 .‎ ‎ Coffee ‎ 39 .On one hand ,the American Heart Association says that coffee is not directly linked to coronary heart disease(冠心病). There are, however, additions to coffee-based drinks that can make them a health risk. Creamer, for example, is loaded with trans fat, which raises your cholesterol and your risk of a heart attack. 40 Or, switch to tea for your coffee.‎ A. Heart-Healthy food is considered to be beneficial to people’s health.‎ B. And all that will raise your blood sugar levels, putting you at a higher risk of heart disease.‎ C. Instead, try using milk instead of creamer in your morning cup of coffee.‎ D. Tea has many advantages over coffee.‎ E. The solution here is to stick to brewed tea, even if you prefer your tea on ice.‎ F. Coffee is quite controversial when it comes to talking about your heart health.‎ G. Unfortunately, some heart-healthy foods are falsely advertised.‎ 第三部 分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Within seconds after a baby giraffe is born, it rolls over and tucks(蜷缩)its legs under its body.

The girl said there were six of them living in that car. I couldn’t believe it –that was the same size as my own family, but all living in a car !My dad came over and handed them a few dollars.We said good-bye and continued toward the restaurant. Then my mom said she had just remembered that she had something to do, so she sent us inside the restaurant and left in the car.‎ Later, I found out that she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags. Then she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn’t there, but I can imagine the joy on their faces. It was my mom’s actions that taught me to always try my best to help people who are in trouble and try to make them as happy as I am.‎
