Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was
only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed
one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby.
Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make
a brush.
The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to
look ragged（蓬乱）. His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit
what he had been doing.
The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington,
came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent
Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist.
These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.
In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He
was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might
take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy
began a landscape (风景) painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him
work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to
take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor
student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow
at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction
to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.
51．How did Benjamin get the brushes at first?
A．He cut a camel’s air. B．He cut some fur from a cat.
C．He asked his father to buy them. D．An artist offered a hand to him.
52．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest? A．The cat would be closely watched.
B．Benjamin would leave his home shortly.
C．Benjamin would have real brushes soon.
D．The cat would get some medical care.
53． What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?
A．He took him to see painting exhibitions.
B．He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.
C．He provided him with painting materials.
D．He taught him how to make engravings.
54．Williams’ two books helped Benjamin to ______.
A．make up his mind to be a painter
B．appreciate landscape paintings
C．get to know other painters
D．master the use of paints
55． What is the passage mainly about?
A．The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.
B．The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist.
C．Williams’ influence on Benjamin.
D．Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.
C
California condors are North America’s largest birds, with wind-length of up to 3 meters.
In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning（铅中毒）nearly drove them to dying out. Now,
electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to save these big birds.
In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred（繁殖）. Since
1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150
flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah and Baja in Mexico.
Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just
don’t see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the
gap between lines, resulting in electrocution（电死）if they touch two lines at once.
So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas,
teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric
shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-free birds died of electrocution. This has
now dropped to 18%.
Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of
other animals containing lead, they take in large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous
systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney（肾）failures and death. So
condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with
calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is
starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to
5.4% in 2011.
Rideout’s team thinks that the California condors’ average survival time in the wild is now
just under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are important
for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering
them. ”
56. California condors attract researchers’ interest because they ______. A. are active at night
B. had to be bred in the wild
C. are found on in California
D. almost died out in the 1980s
57. Researchers have found electrical lines are ______.
A. giving condors’ journey home
B. big killers of Califorbnia condoras
C. rest places for condors at night
D. used to keep condors away
58. According to Paragraph 5, lead poisoning ______.
A. makes condors too nervous to fly
B. has little effect on condors’ kidneys
C. can hardly be gotten rid of from condors’ blood
D. makes it difficult for condors to produce baby birds
59. The passage shows that ______.
A. the average survival time of condors is satisfactory
B. Rideout’s research interest lies in electric engineering
C. the efforts to protect condors have brought good results
D. researchers have found the final answers to the problem
60. What could be the best title for the passage?
A．California Condor’s Shocking Recovery
B．Dangers California Condors Face
C．How to Protect California Condor
D．California Condors’ Future Life
第 II 卷
第四部分：写作（共两节；满分 25 分）
第一节：阅读表达（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
阅读下列短文并回答问题。
I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was very organized. Each of her things
had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled （ 贴 标 签 ） everything. I
always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my
dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her shouting, “Mary,
take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to
my feet and started shouting. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but
for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her
grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers,
crying.
Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm
feeling of sympathy（同情）rose up in my heart,
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and
swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat
up.
She was watching, her tears dried. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked
up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.” Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we
learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on. （294words）
