完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

Two weeks before Christmas, Mother told me we were going to my grandmother's house for the holiday. Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town. They had no electricity or running water and 21 what I considered the “good things” in life. They 22 made no plans for Christmas. When Christmas Eve arrived, Mom told me in her best “I-mean-it” voice to 23 all the decorations(装饰物) from our tree. She packed those up, 24 all the trimmings(材料) for a 25 turkey dinner. Christmas morning dawned perfectly, with the sun 26 brightly across a fresh blanket of snow. 27 I sulked(生气) silently in the backseat of the car because my parents made our 28 to grandma's. This was going to be the 29 Christmas ever! Grandma was 30 to see us as we walked up to her door. “What on earth are you doing here?” She stammered(结巴地说). “We weren't expecting 31 . It's Christmas, and I don't even have a turkey to cook for you.” I knew 32 . Mom said as we set boxes of things on the kitchen table. “That's 33 we brought one with us.” “We 34 have a tree,” Mom insisted. “ 35 , what will we do with all these decorations?” Uncle Henry quickly knew Mom's meaning. He called me to join him, and we 36 a perfect Christmas tree. Soon the house smelled fresh and piney as we decorated the tree, and the day was 37 a festive air. The turkey dinner was very good, too. I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas day!

Dessert was forgotten 38 Mom came out with the final surprise-----a flaming(燃烧的) pudding! “Merry Christmas, mother,” Mom said. “Dear me!” Grandma gasped. “I haven't seen a flaming pudding since I left England before I was married.” Tears of 39 filled her eyes.

I could not keep the tears 40 my eyes, either. I knew then that Mom had also given me the best Christmas present ever—she had taught me what a beautiful thing it is to give.

阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Why buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of acquiring a piece of art. An artwork can cost a considerable sum, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny.

Art Is for EnjoymentArt is meant to be displayed. Don't ever feel pressured to buy something you won't appreciate looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't buy something that doesn't appeal to you just because it is trendy（流行的）, because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it!



Art Improves Your EnvironmentHave you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an essential part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique pattern in your home and make it more attractive. For similar reasons, art often graces commercial buildings, such as reception rooms and the offices of top executives.



Art Makes a StatementThe kind of art you surround yourself says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul. It's an expression of who you are. Be true to yourself, and choose art which is meaningful to you.



Art Can Be an InvestmentArt can pay handsome returns, but this very rarely happens overnight. If you're hoping to make a fast buck, art may not be the right avenue for you. There are investors, of course, who like to put their money in art. They do this for two main reasons: emotional as well as financial benefits.



Art Enriches Your LifeAt a conference on health and aging, held in Australia, a professor from Melbourne's RMIT University shared his findings that love—even the love of an activity or a work of art contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan.



Art Makes an ImpressionWhen you need to give a gift which will make a lasting impression, a fine piece of artwork is hard to beat. Any recipient(接受者) will appreciate receiving such an exclusive gift, and be honored that you valued her enough to give her something so unique and precious. Just remember to select something which will appeal to your recipient's tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg.



41. We can find something about the host's personality, tastes and values through looking at________ .

A. the expression on the face B. the mirror on the wall

C. the kind of art around him D. the truth of the art in his home

42. What does the underlined sentence "Good art needn't cost an arm and a leg" mean?

A. Good art can purify humans' soul B. Good art makes you work fast

C. Good art creates a good life D. Good art does not always cost huge money

43. From the passage we can learn that art __________.

A. is a good way to become rich overnight

B. can awaken people to protect the environment

C. can help people to keep fit and live longer

D. can hardly serve as a present

44. The passage is mainly about__________ .

A. what function art has in people's life B. how to choose artworks for your life

C. what attitudes people have to art D. how to make a fortune from artworks

B

One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?" The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. Take rubber（橡胶） for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial（商业的）rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's
