 Painting has been continuously practiced by humans for some 20,000 years. It was one of the earliest ways in which man __41__ to express his own personality and his emerging understanding of an existence beyond the material world. Unlike music and dance, however, examples of early forms of painting have __42__ to the present day. Painting, like other arts, __43__ universal qualities that make it easy for viewers of all nations and civilizations to understand and appreciate.
  The major __44__ examples of early painting anywhere in the world are found in Western Europe and the Russia. But some 5, 000 years ago, the areas in which important paintings were created __45__ to the eastern Mediterranean Sea and neighboring regions. Therefore, Western shared a European cultural tradition—the Middle East and Mediterranean Basin and, later, the countries of the New World.
  Western painting is in general distinguished by its __46__ on the representation of the human figure. The Renaissance(文艺复兴) extended this tradition through a close examination of the natural world and an investigation of balance, harmony, and perspective in the visible world. The first real __47__ from figurative painting came with the growth of landscape painting in the 17th and 18th centuries. The landscape and figurative traditions developed together in the 19th century in an atmosphere that was __48__ concerned with “painterly” qualities of the interaction of light and color and the expressive qualities of paint handling. In the 20th century these interests contributed to the development of a third __49__ tradition in Western painting, abstract painting.
 
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
 Why do people go to university? There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become __50__ to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard, nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a(n) __51__ view of a college career.
There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.
The most obvious one is to give knowledge—fairly __52__ knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest. But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is __53__ the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your __54__ for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved __55__ by new knowledge.
__56__, we can instill(灌输) certain attitudes of mind—a willingness to accept uncertainty, and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.
In addition to these __57__ qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of __58__ time. Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom—in courses in the humanities and the arts. Yet, at least as much __59__ will occur outside the lecture hall—on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters, concert halls, and so forth.
These are some of the __60__ of a liberal college education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.
To begin with, I hope that we will think __61__ about what we want to accomplish here. It would be __62__ for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.
Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could __63__ your efforts.
My final bit of advice. Whatever else we do, let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously. However great our problems may seem, however urgent our complaints, they are overshadowed(黯然失色) by the __64__ of countless other people on our planet.

 Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
 
(A)
A friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question: “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster-life isn’t fair. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves or for others, thinking that life should be fair or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t.
One of the nice things about accepting the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. Accepting this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt a different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions, and everyone has those times that they feel wounded or unfairly treated.
The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. On the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves, a self-defeating emotion that does nothing except make everyone feel worse. When we do recognize life isn’t fair, however, we feel sympathy for others and for ourselves. And sympathy is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can push you out of self-pity and into helpful action. 
65.   The author thought of his friend’s question as a good one because ________.
A. he also wanted to know who held such an opinion
B. like his friend, he also thought life was unfair
C. it made him regret something during his childhood
D. he learned something from the question as a youngster
66.   Accepting the injustices of life will ______.
A. stop us making everything perfect    B. let us deal with others differently
C. get us to feel sorry for others      D. inspire us to make every effort
67.   In the last paragraph, “this very basic fact” refers to the fact that ______.
A. life is not and will not be fair     B. you should not pity for others
C. pity is a self-defeating emotion     D. sympathy is a heartfelt emotion
68.   From the passage, we can learn that the author’s attitude to life is ______.
A. indifferent  B. self-pity    C. negative    D. positive
 
 (B)
 
 69. If the use of a new word is known to only a restricted group of people, it will ________.
A. stand the test of time        B. have a decent history of use
C. be included in the dictionary       D. be rejected temporarily
70. Which of the following is not a necessary step of the new word inclusion process?
A. Researching the word.       B. Consulting users.
C. Crafting the entry.         D. Sourcing new words.
71. What is the purpose of presenting this graph?
A. To encourage people to use the online database.
B. To promote the new version of dictionary.
C. To respond to people’s request about the word inclusion process.
D. To inform people of the new words to be included in the dictionary.

C
What are feelings for? Most nonscientists will find it a strange question. Feelings justify themselves. Emotions give meaning and depth to life. They exist without serving any other purposes. On the other hand, many evolutionary biologists acknowledge some emotions primarily for their survival function. For both animals and humans, fear motivates the avoidance of danger, love is necessary to care for the young, and anger prepares one to hold ground. But the fact that a behavior functions to serve survival need not mean that. Other scientists have regarded the same behavior as conditioning and learned responses. Certainly reflexes(反射) and fixed action patterns can occur without feeling or conscious thought. A baby seagull pecks(啄) at a red spot on the bill(喙) of its parent. The seagull parent feeds its baby when pecked on the bill and the baby gets fed. The interaction need have no emotional content.


At the same time, there is no reason why such actions cannot have emotional content. In mammals that have given birth including humans, milk is often released automatically when a new baby cries. This is not under intended control but it is reflex. Yet this does not mean that feeding a new baby is exclusively reflex and expresses no feeling like love. Humans have feelings about their behavior even if it is conditioned or reflexive. Yet since reflexes exist and conditioned behavior is widespread, measurable, and observable, most scientists try to explain animal behavior by using only these concepts. It is simpler.
Preferring to explain behavior in ways that fit science's methods most easily, scientists have refused to consider any causes for animal behavior other than reflexive and conditioned ones. Scientific orthodoxy (正统) holds that what cannot be readily measured or tested cannot exist, or is unworthy of serious attention. But emotional explanations for animal behavior need not be impossibly complex or unstable. They are just more difficult for the scientific method to check on in the usual ways, so cleverer and more skillful approaches are called for. Most branches of science are more willing to make successive evaluation of what may prove ultimately unknowable, rather than ignoring it altogether.
72. The example of the baby seagull pecking the parent’s bill is used to support that ______.
A. it is an inborn ability for adults to look after the young
B. behaviors can be learned and involve no emotions
C. emotions are of great importance for survival
D. it takes time for animals to be conditioned
73. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. Breast-feeding a baby is conditioned or reflective but have no emotional connection.
B. Reflexes and conditioning will lead to a better understanding of animal emotions.
C. Scientists usually apply reflexes and conditioning in explaining animal behaviors.
D. Many evolutionary biologists believe that emotions are to some degree for survival.
74. To study animal emotions, scientists should ______.
A. analyze human emotions
B. distinguish what is emotional
C. set up improved experiments
D. learn from animal behaviorists
75. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To illustrate that emotions are worth our attention.
B. To compare human emotions with animal emotions.
C. To discuss the importance and usefulness of emotions.
D. To explain what reflexive and conditioned behaviors are.
 
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each
paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
 A. Make sure a sale is a sale.
B. Use less to save money.
C. Shop wisely.
D. Shop in large amount.
E. Establish a person budget.
F. Spend less to save money.
 Saving money and being more economical is neither a science nor an art; rather it is somewhere in between and requires your commitment and hard work. Saving money takes time to develop, needs to be learnt, and brings benefits that will endure for the rest of your life.
76. ______
Review what you spend and look at ways you can save money. Consider making telephone calls for instance only at off-peak times. Do you really need to have newspapers and magazines delivered? Can you do without those coffees you buy at break time everyday-would a flask of coffee taken to work save you money? What about using the public lending library instead of buying books or music CDs?
77. ______
This is essential for families and individuals and can be the fastest way to save money. You will instantly see your incomings and outgoings once you figure out the amount of money available to spend. You will not be able to save money unless you know how much money you have coming in, and how much money you have going out.
78. ______
Do your price research before you make an expensive purchase in a retailers promotion. You have to be sure the promotion really is not a creative marketing strategy of the store to encourage you to spend your money without thinking. Once you have researched the true price of a product (any product) you are in a good position to take advantage of a promotion, special offer or discount and really save money.
79. ______
Consider markets, superstores, farmer’s markets, local shops and stores. Anywhere is worth checking out to see if you can save money. Farmer’s Markets can be particularly good places to save money. Typically you are buying direct from the producer of the product so the savings are passed on to you. Use your bulk buying strategy here-farmer’s markets often offer opportunities to save money by buying larger quantities of staples, for instance potatoes, rice or corn.
80. ______
We live in a consumer society where waste is a huge problem. If we could all use and consume less, there would be less waste and power consumption. Consider using less shampoo when you wash your hair, this may not mean washing your hair less effectively but it means not flushing the excess shampoo and your money down the drain. Turn off lights, the TV and the computer when they are not in use. Each little saving you make will build up and enable you to save money.  
 Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The internal greenhouse effect of a daffodil(水仙花)
Early pollinators (授粉昆虫) struggle with cold weather, so it's no wonder that late-winter flowers such as daffodil tend to have extended blooming times and long-lasting flowers, some of which remain open for more than two weeks. When the sun is out, they can offer a warm microenvironment for bees.
Although they usually start showing off in the Washington area by late February, blooming times for daffodil are highly variable, depending on variety, weather and planting location. Moisture, tree cover and mineral availability all affect flowering time, but soil temperature tends to have the greatest influence on early-blooming flowers. The microclimate of a south-facing slope will display blooms well before flowers appear in the shadow of a building that gets only a half-day of sun.
Once open, the flower can create a microclimate within itself. When sunlight hits a daffodilflower, its tube-shaped corolla acts as a tiny greenhouse, raising temperatures inside a flower as much as 15 degrees higher than the surrounding air.
That's good news for small bees, which in late winter have trouble getting warm enough to fly.
Bumblebees and honeybees prepare to fly on cold days by exercising their flight muscles to generate heat. But mining bees, which nest in the ground, are less able to do that and are more dependent on surrounding temperatures to warm them up for takeoff.
Spanish ecologist Carlos M. Herrera studied the relationship between mining bees and native daffodil flowers. The bees he studied could fly only if their internal body temperatures approached 72 degrees, yet they were able to forage(觅食) in 54-degree weather. Basking(取暖) in sunlight on the outside of a warm daffodil bloom was enough to get a bee airborne. Heat from flight muscles could then help keep bees in the air, but they still relied on blossom-basking to supplement their heat needs. Although a bee inside a flower has access to warmth and food, a bee basking atop a flower can more effectively raise its temperature by absorbing heat both from direct sunlight and from the flower below.
On those cooler days, bees spent most of their foraging time basking, but "flights between flowers were sometimes interrupted by sudden falls to the ground," Herrera wrote in his 1995 paper. "Fallen bees crawled into some nearby flower and basked before resuming normal foraging."
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)
81. According to the passage, what can help early pollinators to survive cold weather?

82. Flowers on a south-facing slope usually open earlier because of ________________.
83. What does the “good news for small bees” in paragraph 4 refer to?
 
84. A bee can raise its temperature better at the top of a flower because both ________________ are its sources of warmth.
