第三部分：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。

A

From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures.

Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre（盧浮宮） in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.

The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort（城堡）. In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat（護城河） to keep out the enemies.

Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.

During time of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.

When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” is the best-known painting in the museum today.

In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.

56. How long has the Louvre been a public museum?

A. For over 800 years. B. Since 1350.

C. Since 1515. D. For over 200 years.

57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Da Vinci once stayed in France.

B. “Mona Lisa” is kept in the Louvre.

C. The Louvre was once a church as well as a palace.

D. The Louvre is a place of interest to different peoplefrom all over the world.

58. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. an art museum called the Louvre

B. an Italian artist named Leonardo da Vinci

C. a king of France named Francis I

D. the best-known painting in the Louvre

B

The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in the process of recovery from illness.

As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries(陳列室) and into public places, some of the country’s best-known artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2, 500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have valuable collections of contemporary(當代的) art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

These recent movements owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost their places in modern society and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5, 000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain’s first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.

The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours, playful images and restful courtyards.

The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only brick wall to look at.

59. According to the passage, we can learn that Peter Senior is _____.

A. a doctor interested in art

B. an artist who refuses to hold art exhibitions in hospitals

C. a pioneer in introducing art into hospitals

D. an artist who is very rich

60. According to Peter Senior, we can infer that ______.

A. modern hospitals have lost a lot of patients

B. art is not enjoyed by a large number of people in modern society

C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting

D. artists can not find their positions in modern society

61. Six young art school graduates joined Peter Senior because ______.

A. they thought Peter Senior’s idea was very exciting

B. Peter Senior needed artists more intelligent than him

C. they wanted to enjoy Peter Senior’s popularity

D. more and more hospitals need artists to improve their environment

62. The underlined word “striking”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “______”.

A. common B. unusual C. attractive D. valuable

C

With 35 million copies in print, in 35 languages, the first three Harry Potter books have earned $480 million in three years. And that was just the warm-up. With a first printing of 5.3 million copies and advance orders topping 1.8 million, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, promises to break every book-selling record in the book.

Why is Harry so hot?

There is plenty for children and grown-ups to enjoy in Rowling’s books, starting with their language. Her prose may be unadorned (樸實的), but her way with naming people and things shows an original talent(才能).

The best writers remember what it is like to be a child with surprising intensity(強烈). Time and again, Rowling describes just how defenseless(無助的) even the bravest children often feel. Near the end of the second book Dumbledore, the wise and protective headmaster, is banished(趕走) from Hogwarts. This frightens Harry and his schoolmates -“With Dumbledore gone, fear had spread as never before” - and it frightened me. And in all of Rowling’s books there runs an undercurrent(隱藏的情緒) of sadness and loss. In the first book Harry stares into the Mirror of Erised, which shows the viewer his or her utmost desires. Harry sees his dead parents. “Not until I’d reread what I’d written did I realize that that had been taken completely - completely - from how I felt about my mother’s death,” Rowling said. “In fact, death and losing one’s parent and what death means, I would say, is one of the central themes(主題) in all seven books.” The book would have their broad interest if they were only exciting tales of magical adventure, and grown-ups would not find them so attractive.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Harry is so hot.

63. According to the writer, why is Harry so hot?

A. The story is full of magic.

B. There is plenty for children and adults to enjoy.

C. The language is beautiful.

D. Death is the central theme in the book.

64. What does the underlined word “promise” (in Paragraph 1) probably mean?

A. To tell someone you will certainly do something.

B. To make something seem likely.

C. To be sure to do something.

D. To think that something is true.

65. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth Harry Potter book.

B. Only children are interested in the Harry Potter books.

C. What Rowling writes in the book has no relation with herself.

D. Rowling’s way with naming people and things is very common.
