第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
Most painters discover a style(風(fēng)格) of painting that suits them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.
Some of Picasso's paintings are rich, soft coloured and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look beneath(在…之下) the surface of the things we see.
Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye sees. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”.
56. In the passage the writer wants to tell us _________.
A. about some pictures which have different styles
B. about Picasso's style of painting
C. it is not easy for a painter to find his own style
D. that Picasso had not found his own particular style
57. The ugly, cruel and strange paintings by Picasso _________.
A. make us try to notice something latent(潛在的) in the things
B. allow us to ask questions about them
C. force us to question anything we see
D. cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see
58. The sentence“sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _________.
A. sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces
B. he broke something he was painting and threw them away
C. sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others
D. things in some of his pictures seemed to be in disorder
59. Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”?
A. Because he looked young when he was old.
B. Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.
C. Because he never stopped painting even when he was old.
D. Because he never gave up looking for something new.
60. What do you suppose the writer thinks of Picasso's paintings?
A. He doesn't understand some of them.
B. He thinks some of them are valuable, some are not.
C. He admires them, including the ugly ones.
D. He doesn't like some of them, but he admires the painter.

Making friends can be difficult, especially these days with so much peer pressure(同齡人之間的壓力). If you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends, become  genuinely(真誠地) interested in other people. Show kindness. You may be wearing the latest  designer label clothes, the hottest brand shoes, and the coolest jewelry, but if you display sourness  and selfishness, you'll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.Smile, smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, and  happens in a flash but the memory lasts forever, it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought, begged or borrowed; it comes from the heart. If you want other people to   like you, make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely!Choose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take illegal drugs, steal,gamble, fight etc. dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends,especially honest, good and upright friends.
Being mentally strong is not always easy, but let me assure you that the more you practice it,__________. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you, talk like  you and be with you, because you have a personality which is different. People like being different!By being an individual with your own personality, you can achieve the very best experiences in   your life.
You may not ever have many friends, but let me tell you that it is better to have one good  friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab(傷害)you in the back at the very first opportunity  that arises.

閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)第 58至第 60小題的具體要求,盡可能簡要回答問題,并將答案轉(zhuǎn)寫到答題卡上。
ANGELA Chang didn’t think it would be so hard to turn singing into a career. She went to many different record companies. But the Taiwanese girl was always turned down for looking too young and small.
“I’d never had such difficulties before,” Chang said. “My confidence was smashed (粉碎) to pieces.”
Chang's talent was finally recognized in 2002. When she got a contract (合同), she burst into tears.
She soon became a star. Her first album Over the Rainbow (《飛越彩虹》) sold very well. She won many awards.
“You wouldn't believe such a powerful voice could come from such a small body,” said one musician after hearing Chang sing. “She has a special voice. You can't forget it.”
Never give up
But the 25-year-old has other talents too. Chang is also an actress. She has starred in the popular Taiwanese TV dramas, My MVP Valentine (《MVP情人》) and At Dolphin Bay (《海豚灣戀人》). Many people remember her ordinary-girl parts in the dramas.
But acting is difficult. Chang once acted so badly that she was nearly fired. Another time it took her 27 tries to get a scene right.
“I cried when I got back home,” Chang said. “But I knew that I wouldn't always fail. You only fail when you give up.”
Now with four albums behind her-Over the Rainbow, Aurora (《歐若拉》), Pandora (《潘朵拉》) and Flower in the Wonderland, it's clear that Chang and music were made for each other. As she sings in one song: “I have a pair of invisible (隱形的) wings. They fly me to the skies and give me hope.”
58. What was her first album? (回答詞數(shù)不超過 3個(gè))

Scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do, the results may range from the disastrous to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.
The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country’s bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easygoing native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientist’s name, had a total success on his hands.
Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.
But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (叮) , began to attack its neighbors—cats , dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.
This would have been enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.
60. Which of the following statements is right?
A. The results of the South American experiment have caused a serious trouble.             
B. Scientific experiments in South America have proved to be wrong.
C. The results of the South American experiment are not yet certain.                     
D. It’s clear that scientific experiments in South America are not important.
61. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to _________.
A. increase the amount of honey in Brazil
B. make Brazilian bees more easy-going
C. increase the number of bees in Brazil
D. make African bees less active
62. Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees attacking personalities?
A. Their production of honey.         B. Their hard work.
C. Their living environment.               D. Their bad temper.
63. The last paragraph implies that __________.
A. the bees have been driven to Central and North America
B. The bees may bring about trouble in more countries
C. the bees must be stopped from moving north
D. the bees prefer to live in Brazil

School failure appears to trouble teenage girls more deeply than boys, US researchers said on Tuesday.
They said adolescent(青春期的)girls who are dismissed or drop out of high school before they graduate are more likely to have a serious depression by age 21 than boys with similar experiences.
“For girls it is more serious to be school failure,” said Carolyn McCarty, a University of Washington researcher whose study appears in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
“We already know that it leads to more poverty, higher rates of being on public assistance and lower rates of job stability. And now this study shows it is having mental health implications for girls,” McCarty said in a statement.
The study was drawn from data on more than 800 people in Seattle, Washington, and included people from 18 schools in high-crime neighborhoods.
The group was separated evenly by gender(性別)and nearly half were white, 24 percent were black, 21 percent were Asian-American and the rest were from other groups.
Overall, 45 percent of the girls and 68 percent of the boys in the study experienced a major school failure, but 22 percent of the girls later became depressed compared with 17percent for the boys.
“This gender shows that while school failure is more typical for girls, it appears to have more severe consequences when it does occur,” McCarty said.
60. What is the purpose of writing this article?
A Taking good care of the school boys.
B Asking the US researchers to search more evidences.
C Giving help to the graduated students.
D Paying more attention to the girls experiencing school failure.
61. Carolyn McCarty is ______________
A a scientist     B a researcher     C a professor     D a student
62. The underlined word”it” in para.4 means__________
A school failure    B a adolescent girl    C a school boy    D a university
63.Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?
A School failure appears to trouble teen-age girls more deeply than boys
B Girls are more possible to experience school failure
C Gender has decided how much success you will win
D Adolescent girls are more easily depressed than boys
