A
My dad was magic．He served as a large animal vet(兽医)for more than 40 years. He
travelled from farm to farm every day，helping and healing．He seemed to know everything

高三英语试题第6页  (共14页)

about everything．He could make a comer store appear out of nowhere．
That was summer for me．The smell of dust and animal waste，hot on a summer breeze，
pushed fast through the windows as we drove down winding roads．Even now，and I know how
awful it sounds，the smell of animal waste makes me think of my dad．For years I have enjoyed
that smell，and breathed it deeply，whenever I ran into it．It transports me back to those summer
days-days with my dad．
Dad could make magic happen．  
On a snowy night，Dad took me out to work when 1 was 6．Nothing could be seen at a11．We
had to park the car at the side of the road，waiting．But 1 was unconcerned because with my
father I knew nothing bad would happen．Out of the darkness，1 watched with open-mouthed
wonder as a horse．drawn sleigh(雪橇)drew up beside US．
In time，my dad let me be magic．
While he treated the animals chatting with the farmers，1 was allowed to run around．I
would run after cats everywhere，trying to catch just one so that I could pet it .I would returnto
where my dad was working，carrying one with pride．Unavoidably，the farmer would glance over，
do a double-take andsay：“That cat’S near on wild．No one has been able to pet that one in
forever．”1 would hold it a little tighter happily，then let it go．
Even after I became an adult，my dad was magic．
He and my mother were very progressive in their way of raising me，encouraging me to get an
education and career，and then think about a husband and family．But they let me choose my own
way to get there，and didn’t say a lot when I chose a different order of achieving those things．
And now that his days are over，1 wish I had thanked him more．For being my father．For
giving me so many memories．For being magic．
56．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Dad Was Magic      B．What A Large Animal Vet
C．Dad Made Me Magic    D．What A Magical Experience
57．The detailed description in Paragraph 2 mainly indicates that the writer____.
A．has got accustomed to the smell of animal waste
B．had unforgettable summer days with her dad
C．was taken to the countryside in a vehicle
D．10ves hot summer in the countryside

Some of the best known works of a11 time
were painted by the Dutch Post-Impressionist
artist，Vincent Willem Van Gogh(1858—1890)．
And Irises(1889)is among the most recognized
of his pieces．
    On May 8,1889，Van Gogh was admitted
to the mental hospital at Saint Paul-de-Mausole，
France．During his stay he painted some 130
paintings with the surrounding gardens and clinic becoming his main subjects for painting．
Among these were the famous The Starry Night and Irises.
Inspired by the nature surrounding him，Van Gogh began his work on Irises within the first
week of his stay at the hospital．Like many artists of his time Van Gogh was influenced by
Japanese woodblock(木刻)prints which began in the 17th century．The use of black outlines in
Irises is a typical feature of the Japanese works．It helped to strengthen the expressive power of
the painting．Irises is the one of Van Gogh’s paintings that has a stillness and beauty not seen in
many of his later works．
    The technique of Japanese artist Hokusai was used by Van Gogh with precision．The use
of blue and violet(紫色)bring the flowers to life．This also created a sense of movement and
depth to the flowers．Van Gogh placed the irises unevenly(不均衡地)on the page，making the
flowers the focus．These are all techniques taken from Hokusai．Van Gogh added to his work his
own style，however，by placing orange marigolds carefully in the background．The position of a
 single white iris begs many questions from the viewers that are still open for interpretation(解
读)．

高三英语试题  第8页  (共14页)

Currently one of the most expensive paintings，Irises shows Van Gogh’s ability to use his
surroundings to paint images that have depth and character．Although it was painted during a
time of suffering for Van Gogh，he was able to channel that energy into turning bright colors，
deep outline and flat paint into works of art．His influence is forever felt among admirers and
artists alike．
60．From the passage we can learn that Van Gogh_____.
A．painted about 130 paintings all his life   B．admired many artists of his time
C．painted Irises at Saint Paul-de-Mausole   D．was a French Post-Impressionist artist
61．According to the passage，Irises_____.
A．is a typical woodblock print
B．reflects some techniques of Hokusai
C．shows Van Gogh’s pessimistic view of life
D．resembles many of Van Gogh’s later works
62．Van Gogh chose blue and violet so that the flowers could
A．1ook lively    B．be the focus    C．be moving   D．1ook uneven
63．Which of the following is true about the single white iris?
A．People share the same view on it．  B．Its position inspires viewers to think．
C．Van Gogh painted it in a strange way． D．It serves as the background of the painting．
C

    You may have experienced the frustration of receiving a
parking fine or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving
it parked for a couple of minutes．
    But now a high—tech car sticker could help motorists avoid
such a situation—by allowing a traffic warden(管理员)to get in
touch with them．Car owners can buy the sticker and place it inside their car’s windscreen，
having set it up with vital information，such as their phone number．The slim design will include
a sensor that will send a text message warning a driver about a coming fine when touched by a
traffic warden．The message will ask them to move their car immediately．The driver could then
type a reply for the warden using their smartphone ，which will appear on the sticker’s screen．
They may choose to write something along the lines of “back in two minutes”in a bid to avoid a
fine．Frankfurt．based IT consultant，Daniel Kalliontzis，came up with the idea and is raising
funds on Indiegogo to put his   sticker into production．
    The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic wardens and critically，a
German law．The law states：“An officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way
for the car owner to remove the vehicle．” It could be cheaper for the authorities to contact the
driver than to tow his car．
    At the time of writing，Mr Kalliontzis has raised just over E3，000 of his C50，000 goal on
Indiegogo．If he manages to raise the money，the stickers will be shipped in June 2015．But it
appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages，
because anyone could touch the smart sticker．
67．The first paragraph is intended to____.
A．highlight an awkward situation    B．complain about a parking fine
C．introduce the topic of the passage  D．remind motorists of the parking risk
68．What may probably contribute to the application of the TowStop sticker in Germany?
A．The sticker’s low cost．    B．The mass production．
C．The law of the country．     D．The goodwill of motorists．

高三英语试题  第11页 (共14页)
69．What can be concluded from the last paragraph about the TowStop Sticker?
A．It takes time and efforts to put it to use。
B．Only traffic wardens can touch the sticker．
C．All car owners will use the sticker in 2015．
D．Kalliontzis is experienced in raising money．
70．What’s the right order of the following statements according to the passage?

①A message is sent by the sensor．
②The sticker is put inside a car’s windscreen．
③A traffic warden touches the smart sticker．
④The sticker is set up with vital information．
⑤The motorist sends a message．

A．②④⑤③①      B．④②③①⑤    C．④②③⑤①  D．②④①③⑤

I am convinced that reading the news is worse than not reading anything at a11．There is no
proof that it makes us wiser，better decision makers，better informed；nothing  if anything，
entirely the opposite．If you are anything like me，you’ve already stopped consuming news.
I write about this topic because I got discouraged with that guy who thinks he is very
cultured just because he reads the newspaper．And with that girl who is very surprised to hear I
don't know about the leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence．But mostly，because I’ve benefited
from it．Since I freed myself from the news I feel more in control of my attention，I have better
reading habits，and I’m more optimistic．S o I decided to do some research about it and was
 astonished to find more than enough reasons to back up my feeling．
    Unlike the limited attention we have to spend on long，deep，intelligent ,and quiet content
(which is actually important and requires thinking)，our brains are excited to pay attention to the
flashy，loud，and dramatic．This is the reason why we can swallow limitless quantities of news
flashes．We see news all the time on Facebook and Twitter，each post screaming to get our
attention．Information is no longer rare．But attention is．Why give it away so easily?
    It is worrying that we are spending SO much time skimming through headlines．With so
 much inf-011nation，our brain has to form shortcuts to deal with the overload and the distractions，
because on top of that，we consume news while multitasking．We read the newspaper while
 having breakfast；we listen to the news while driving．News breaks our concentration and thins

高三英语试题  第12页  (共14页)
our comprehension and the more we consume it，the more we reinforce(强化)this habit．
Above all，we do not recognize the effect that pessimistic content can have on the
individual．When you’re exposed to too much negative information it’s easy to see why people
say things like“it’s a messed up world out there．”Why make an effort when everything seems
out of your control ?
You might be thinking that news keeps US informed about the world．But has any piece of
news changed your life in a way that if you hadn’t read it，your personal or professional life
would have been different?
Make a conscious choice about what you consume．
71．What does the author think of reading news?
A．Beneficial．     B．Harmful．     C．Inspiring．  D．Dishonest
72．The underlined“it’’in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that the author_____
A．has stopped reading news   B．had no idea about Jennifer’s photos
C．got discouraged with the guy  D．knows little about the present world
73．The third paragraph shows that_____
A．news flashes are significant and exciting
B．people like to focus on long，deep materials
C．news flashes easily attract people’s attention
D．1acking information is people’s main concern
74．We can infer from the passage that_____.
A．dipping into headlines is time—saving
B．multitasking promotes comprehension
C．Facebook provides good reading materials
D．Dishonest．
75．The author may agree that_____.
A．people should not read blindly
B．people needn’t try hard in the messy world
C．news keeps us informed about the world
D．news is SO important as to change people’s life
