Ⅳ.阅读理解
Rembrandt was an extraordinary Dutch painter. He was most well-known for his brushwork and the way in which he connected with the human soul. His life, however, was not happy.
He was born on July 15, 1606 in Leiden, the Netherlands. His father wanted him to have a real, learned profession but Rembrandt left the University of Leiden after becoming bored. He began studying art under a local teacher but soon left and studied in Amsterdam where he mastered all his lessons in six months!
At the age of 22, he moved back to Leiden and began to get his own students. One of his students was the famous artist Gerrit Dou. In 1631 he returned to Amsterdam where he became the most popular portrait painter in Holland. Rembrandt met Saskia and married her in 1634. She was a cousin of a very successful art dealer and she helped him to meet wealthy people who commissioned(委任制作)many paintings from him. He used her as a model in many of his paintings.
Rembrandt's private life, however, was very unfortunate. He had four children with Saskia but only one, Titus, survived. Saskia died in 1642 at the age of only 30. In 1649, his housekeeper became his second wife and was also a model for many of his paintings. Even though Rembrandt was very successful as an artist, art dealer and teacher, he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy(破产)in 1656. He even had to sell his whole art collection and his house to pay off his debts.
His unfortunate life, however, didn't affect his art. He painted many great paintings during that time. His new love, Hendrickje, died in 1663
and his 27-year-old son, Titus, died in 1668. Eleven months later, on October 4, 1669, Rembrandt died in Amsterdam. He produced more than 600 paintings and over 2,000 drawings!
文章大意：荷兰艺术家Rembrandt大学还没毕业就拜师学画画，一生有2600多幅作品问世。然而他的一生极具悲剧色彩。
1．Which of the following is the reason that made his business fail?
A．As an extraordinary Dutch painter, he knew nothing about business.
B．He spent most of his time on art, leaving no time to care his business.
C．All his children but Titus died, which made him very sad.
D．Like other famous artists, he was thoughtless.
答案：D细节理解题。由第四段中的“...he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy(破产)in 1656.”可知是他的疏忽、考虑不周造成了生意的失败。题中的“thoughtless”和原文的careless意义相近。
2．From the passage we learn that Rembrandt________.
A．graduated from the University of Leiden
B．began his teaching career in 1628
C．married Saskia when he was 22 years old
D．was good at drawing animals and flowers
答案：B细节理解题。根据第二段的“He was born on July 15, 1606...”和第三段的“At the age of 22, he...get his own students”可推算出他是在1628年开始他的教学生涯的。他并没有从大学毕业，A项错误；他1606年出生，1634年结婚，时年28岁，C项错误；D项文中未提及。
3．How many members of Rembrandt's family died before him, not including his parents?
A．Four.B．Five.C．Six.D．Seven.
答案：C推理判断题。第四段提到他的第一个妻子与三个孩子辞世，第五段提到他的27岁的儿子Titus和第二个妻子也去世了，总共6个家人在他之前去世。
4．What's the best title for this passage?
A．A brief biography of Rembrandt
B．A great Dutch painter
C．The greatest painter in the world
D．Rembrandt's unhappy family
答案：A主旨大意题。本文按时间顺序简单介绍了Rembrandt的成长、事业、家庭等，也就是他一个简单的“传记”，故A项作为本文标题最合适。
Ⅴ.短文填空
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red？__1__ Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist(悲观的人). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference(偏爱), as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.__2__ If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
__3__ A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.__4__ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge
in the area until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply(急剧地). Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
__5__ It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up—we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观的人), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colours do influence our moods (情绪)—there is no doubt about it.
