I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes much influenced by Krenkel and St. John for five years.‎ For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.‎ Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said，“At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire .”‎ ‎24．What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Learning to paint in later life. B. How to paint watercolors.‎ C. An artist-turned teacher. D.

Very enjoyable. B. A bit regretful. C. Rather busy. D. Fairly dull.‎ C Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.‎ In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.‎ Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts(腹部按压)to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim’s abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person.‎ The Mayo Clinic health centers suggest several steps if bleeding is severe. First,‎ if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press on it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet(止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can ‎- 5 -‎ crush(挤压) major arteries and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical help arrives.‎ To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organization like the Red Cross or the Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area.‎ Ifyouknowfirstaidmethods,youcanbecalmerandmorehelpfulincaseofemergency.‎ 28. If there is severe bleeding, you should ______.‎ A. cover the wound with a tourniquet B. clean the wound and try to stop bleeding C. treat the infected wound with salt D. help the victim do physical activity 29. Where can you learn more about first aid?‎ A. A hospital or the Red Cross. B. A hospital or a magazine.‎ C. The Red Cross or a patient. D. The Red Crescent Society or a book.‎ 30. From the passage, we can know__________.‎ A. now people still use a tourniquet to stop bleeding B. the container of poison is not helpful to doctors C. rest can do good to a wound infected D. abdominal thrusts are for the unconscious(无意识的)‎ 31. What’s the best title for the text?‎ A. The importance of knowing first aid methods B. How to deal with different emergency C. Different cases in hospital emergency D. Different practical methods of some first aid D The headmaster of a primary school appeared on television to defend her idea that parents should “dress appropriately in day wear” when they drop off and pick up their kids from school.‎ Katie Chisholm, head teacher at Skerne Park Academy in Darlington, U.K., sent ‎- 6 -‎ a letter home asking parents to set a better example for their children.‎ ‎“ I have noticed there has been an increasing tendency for parents to escort children to and from school while still wearing their pajamas(睡衣) and, on occasion, even slippers,” Chisholm wrote. “Could I please ask that when you are sending your children, you take the time to dress appropriately in day wear that is suitable for the weather conditions?”‎ Katie Chisholm wants parents at her school to dress nicer. She appeared on British television station ITV to further explain her decision saying she had started noticing the pajama trend had been picked up by “30 or 40” parents at school.‎ In spite of her determination to make school a nicer place to be, Chisholm admits that she can't demand that parents dress up-such as Karen Routh, 49, (below) who wore pajamas to drop off her 8-year old daughter Holly, because she was running late and didn't feel well.‎ ‎“I imagine there might be some people who keep up wearing pajamas for the next six months to prove a point,” said Chisholm. “I can't force people to get dressed but I will keep sending letters home in the hope that they decide to put on a pair of jeans.”‎ Wearing pajamas in public has also become a hot button issue for some schools and States in the US. In 2014, a Florida school board member insisted on a dress rule for parents who showed up to school in sleepwear.‎ 28. What demand on parents has the headmaster put forward?‎ A. Clothes they buy for their kids. B. The way they treat their kids.‎ C. Relation with teachers. D. The way they dress.‎ 29. The underlined word “escort” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by .‎ A. accompany B. urge C. watch D. teach 30. What is Chisholm’s attitude towards Karen Routh’s way of dressing herself?‎ A. Supportive. B. Acceptable. C. Angry. D. Critical 31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .‎ A. more people are concerned about wearing improperly in public B. wearing pajamas in public will be punished sooner or later ‎- 7 -‎ A. strict laws should be passed to make people dress nicer B. more and more people will wear carelessly in public 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Fight Laziness?‎ Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 36 . Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.‎ Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.‎ ‎37 .‎ Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them.‎ A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.‎ 38 ‎. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.‎ Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.‎ 39 ‎. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others at home may finally follow your example and perform their own tasks. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.‎ ‎40 . Enough exercise anda balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.‎ A. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.‎ B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.‎ C. To fight family laziness, set an example.‎ D. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.‎ E. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.‎ F. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.‎ G. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（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。‎ A Love Note to My Mom ‎- 8 -‎ When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled for fashion photographers.
