Mr Iban's class went on a special trip to the National Museum of Art in Washington, D.C.． There they saw a famous painting by a Spanish artist named Picasso．The painting shows a circus (马戏) family in France and is called “Family of Saltimbanques”． Saltimbanques is a French word meaning performers．
In the painting, a grandfather, a father and three children are standing outdoors on a bare (光秃的), brown hill． The mother, wearing a straw hat with flowers, is seated alone in one corner, looking sadly off into space． The tallest boy is wearing circus costumes (戏装) in soft tones (色调) of blue and red． The father and grandfather are dressed like clowns (小丑)． The grandfather wears a red, pointed fool's cap and has a white ruffle (装饰摺边) around his neck．But there are no happy clown faces in sight, and everyone in the family looks very serious．
“Why aren't the performers smiling the way clowns are supposed to?” Justin asked
“Does anyone have any ideas about that?” Mr Iban said．
Lonie waved his hand． “Maybe the circus family is sad because they don't have an audience (观众) to show off for any more．”
“Or they might feel bad because people didn't clap (鼓掌) when their act was over,” Tom said．
“I have an idea,” Cassie said, pointing to the grandfather． “See that bundle (包袱) on his back? I guess the clown family has to move on to the next town, and they're sorry to go．”
“Perhaps Picasso didn't ask them to have a special expression while he was painting them,” Mr Iban suggested．
“I think,” said Jane, “they just wanted to be themselves without any pretended smiles．”
“Yes, that must be it,” Justin agreed．“They just need to relax after all that clowning around．”
(1) The person in the painting who is farthest from the others is ______．
[ ]
A．the girl
B．the mother
C．the father
D．the grandfather
(2) Which of these was NOT one of the student's ideas?
[ ]
A．The family must move on．
B．The family needs to relax．
C．The family has no place to live．
D．The family misses having an audience．
(3) From what the passage tells, the teacher's opinion was that Picasso probably wanted the family ______．
[ ]
A．looking happy
B．looking natural
C．positioned outdoors
D．performing circus acts
(4) Which of these most probably would have happened if Mr． Iban had immediately answered Justin's question?
[ ]
A．The students would have learned more about the artist' life．
B．Justin would have asked the other students the same questions．
C．Justin would not have had an opinion about the picture．
D．The students would not have thought as much about the picture．
(5) Which of these would be the best title for the passage?
[ ]
A．“Clowning Around with Art”．
B．“Viewing a Famous Painting”．
C．“Famous Family-Portrait Painting”．
D．“Family Performing at the Circus”．

阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。
Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn't. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don't think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and
those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (谣言) that she had problems, but I didn't really believe them. I felt bad for her.
My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn't our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.
That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you
became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I'll never forget you and what you did."
By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
56. What kind of person does the underlined word "geek" in Para1 probably refer to?
A. A confident and hardworking student.
B. A dishonest and badly behaved person.
C. Someone is not popular and does strange things
D. Someone is naughty and always makes fun of others.
57. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend？
A. Happy and comfortable. B. Pleased and confident.
C. Worried and surprised. D. Sad and lonely.
58. From the passage, we learn that the author and her friends ______.
A. helped get the girl out of trouble B. got the girl to go to another school
C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard D. didn't want to help the girl at all
59. What's the best title for the passage？
A. A Strange Girl B. A Quiet Heart
C. A Girl without Any Problems D. Just the littlest Things
