The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an 1 knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are 2 different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves 3 .
So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their 4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A 5 of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to 6 the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be 7 by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest 8 connection between the artist and their 9 . By contrast, when a designer sets out to 10 a new piece, they almost always have a 11 starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something 12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a 13 , visit a location, or learn certain information. The most 14 designs are those that most effectively 15 their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.
1. A. unique B. separate C. shared D. accepted 2. A. entirely B. occasionally C. hardly D. unnecessarily 3. A. inventors B. designers C. writers D. viewers 4. A. purpose B. product C. interest D. cost 5. A. love B. type C. part D. work 6. A. stop B. allow C. require D. move 7. A. understood B. fooled C. inspired D. discouraged 8. A. political B. social C. physical D. emotional 9. A. supporters B. audiences C. buyers D. enemies 10. A. sell B. imagine C. create D. draw 11. A. fixed B. good C. strange D. positive 12. A. surprising B. special C. creative D. new 13. A. phone B. service C. language D. name 14. A. important B. creative C. successful D. unusual 15. A. learn B. receive C. confuse D. communicate

第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A
Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:
Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, ―Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.‖
Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, ―walking advertisement‖-style, why not express who you really are?
Wear real pants! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you’re exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!
Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them. Sure, kittens might be cute, but they’re not doing you any favors in the style department. Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!

A 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month. Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net --- by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube ... lessons that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance. And they are free.
Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his ―Khan Academy‖ four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams. With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.
Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. ―It feels like my voice in their head. You’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,‖ he said.
When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person --- he immediately connected to the students there.
The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. ―I think the teachers are good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,‖ she said. ―I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it.‖
Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks
3
short is better. ―Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,‖ he said.
For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.
31. What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?
A. His success in helping his cousin learn math.
B. His discovery that many students found learning math difficult. C. A suggestion made to him at a local high school. D. His interest in Internet teaching. 32. Why does Khan never go on camera?
A. He’s too shy to show his face on camera.
B. It’s restricted by YouTube for education videos. C. He wants to keep distance from the viewers.
D. He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere. 33. From the passage, we know that ________.
A. Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons B. Khan plans to include more subjects in the future C. Khan gives live math lessons every day for free D. Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife 34. Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan’s lessons?
A. Khan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher. B. The lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood. C. She can perfectly follow the pace of Khan’s teaching. D. She cannot concentrate when learning in class.
35. What does Khan mean by ―short is better‖ in the 6th paragraph? A. Keeping the lessons short can ensure better concentration. B. YouTube recommends short lessons for its site.
C. Short lessons encourage students to return to the website. D. Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more.
C
To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human. Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature .To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do .The original quote about human nature went like this:‖ To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).‖This saying mirrors an deal people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite –find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good
4
general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, ‖the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.‖
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people. get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if good excuse is ―good‖ even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
36. According to the passage, which of following seems the most human? A. To search for truth． B. To achieve one’s ideal
C. To make fun of others’ mistakes． D. To criticize others for one’s own error.
37．According to the author, what is a sign of a man’s maturity? A．Doing things his own way.
B．Bearing responsibility for his mistakes. C．Making as few mistakes as possible． D．Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.
38．Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?
A．A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company. B．A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather. C．A company’s next move follows a good plan． D．A lawyer acts on fine judgments．
39. What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse? A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy. B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas. C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty. D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse. 40. What would be the best title for his passage?
A. A Mirror of Human Nature B. To Blame or to Forgive C. A Mark of Maturity D. Truth or Excuse

The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
―Empty your pockets please, Alfred,‖ Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
―I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!‖ said the little gray-haired man.
―Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,‖ Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.

Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, ―Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.‖
―Do whatever you want,‖ Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. ―Is Alfred in trouble?‖ she asked.
―He’s been stealing from the store,‖ the old man coolly replied.
Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. ―What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?‖
The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. ―I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.‖ Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, ―Go to bed, you fool.‖
In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. ―She was smooth!‖ he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
41. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything. B. Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear. C. Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.
D. Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning. 42. What does the underlined word ―disarmed‖ probably mean? A. annoyed B. made less angry C. convinced D. got over
43. What was the mother’s attitude toward Alfred? A. She felt disappointed with him. B. She was very strict with him. C. She was supportive of him. D. She was afraid of him.
44. What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ________.
A. how angry she was B. that she didn’t cry
C. that she was able to save him
D. how effectively she handled Mr. Carr

45. From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ________.

C. wanted his mother to be happy D. felt guilty and regretful for his deed
