The very wealthy English Baron⁹ Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably

was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens.

So Fitzgerald devoted¹⁰ himself to fathering the kid. Unfortunately the son died in his late teens.

Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works¹¹ of the masters.

Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his

 will as to how his wealth would be settled-to sell his entire collection at an auction¹²(拍卖）.

Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible

buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors

eager to bid（出价）. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a

 painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.

When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled（敲槌）the crowd to attention.

First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned¹³ was the painting of his son.

The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders¹⁴. . . except one-the old servant who

 had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional¹⁵ reasons offered the only bid.

As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer

stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet,

and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection. ”Then the auction was over.

Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable!

Shadow Ridge¹⁸ Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do.

 take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a

 lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack(马具),

as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related²⁰ activities to strengthen the connection

between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.

At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers.

We have “The Bunkhouse”(4 girls), the“ Wranglers²¹ Roost”(4 girls), and “The Hideout”(2 girls)in

 our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.

Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child's vacation, Each child will receive

 a camp T-shirt and a photo album(usually 300-500 pictures)of their stay at camp.

Dear all,

Please read Professor Hume's email about his next lecture on Rosa Parks.

Susan Miller²²

Secretary

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Dear Susan,

Please forward this message to students of my history class.

Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the

passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.

Ted⁵ Hume

The early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005), long known as the “mother of the civil rights

 movement, ”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time. The black

woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused

to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. “By sitting down, ”remarked John Lewis,

“she was standing²³ up for all Americans. ”

Among the numerous²⁴ awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal

of Freedom(1996)and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).

Parks died on Oct. 24, 2005. At St. Paul A. M. E. Church in Montgomery, a large crowd

including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated²⁶ her life. Rice said she and others,

who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have

 realized her impact²⁷(影响)on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks,

I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State. ”

After her casket(灵柩)was placed at the Capitol, U. S. President Bush, members of Congress²⁵

and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to

lie in state at the Capitol, a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.

63. What is the main purpose of Susan’s email?

A. To make arrangements for Professor Hume's class.

B. To introduce to the students Rosa Parks.

C. To help the students organize a lecture.

D. To answer Professor Hume's last email.

64. What does the underlined word “forward” mean?

A. Explain. B. Send. C. Take. D. Read.

65. The political impact of Rosa Parks lies in the fact that she .

A. helped Condoleezza Rice achieve political success

B. joined the civil rights movement at a young age

C. made racial equality a common value in American society

D. set a good example in her early life for other black Americans

66. How was Rosa Parks treated after her death?

A. She was named “mother of the civil rights movement. ”

B. She was received by President Bush at the Capitol.

C. She was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

D. She was honored²⁸ to lie in state at the Capitol.

The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth , is of great importance

 to African ecosystem²⁹(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great

extent³⁰ the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely³¹ shapes the

forest-and-savanna³²(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms

 of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat(栖息地).

It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment

and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous³³ search for the 300 pounds of

plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches

 off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical³⁴ forests and in the woodlands that cover part of

the African savannas³⁵. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead³⁶ shut

 out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and

eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.

In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed³⁷ plant-eaters to move around

and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered

species³⁸. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear

 from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

67. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Disappearance³⁹ of African elephants.

B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.

C. The effect of African elephants' search for food.

D. The eating habit of African elephants.

68. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A. Fixing the time. B. Worsening the state.

C. Improving the quality. D. Deciding the conditions.

69. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?

A. They result from the destruction⁴⁰ of rain forests.

B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.

C. They are home to many endangered animals.

D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.

70. The passage is developed mainly by.

A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes

B. pointing out similarities and differences

C. describing the changes in space order

D. giving examples

Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.

No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth⁴¹ new forces and forms that cause

change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced⁴² it before.

Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the

17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie,

one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas

Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole

who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding⁴³ peace in nature, Leslie paints what he

actually sees. In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary

things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments

of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his

ainting back in his workroom.

Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has

 shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality

 in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the

Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.

to sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.

Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively⁴⁴ constant.

 Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate⁴⁵ experience.

Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

71. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________.

A. an object for artistic⁴⁶ creation⁴⁷ B. acollection of poems

C. an unusual quality D. a natural scene

72. Leslie's paintings are extraordinary because .

A. they are close in style to works in ancient times

B. they look like works by 19th-century painters

C. they draw attention to common things in life

D. they depend heavily on color photography

73. What is the author's opinion of artistic reality?

A. It will not be found in future works of art.

B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.

C. It is expressed in a fixed⁴⁸ artistic form.

D. It is lacking in modern works of art.

74. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?

A. They express people's curiosity⁴⁹ about the past.

B. They make people interested in everyday experience.

C. They are considered important for variety in form.

D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

75. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A. History of the arts. B. Basic questions of the arts.

C. New developments in the arts. D. Use of modern technology in the arts.
