3.A.There are few statues in the Middle East.
B.Art is a good means for people to know about religions.
C.Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works.
D.People know more about our culture through learning art history.
E.Art is more objective than history itself.
F.Art history provides information of different places and people.

80.A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes.Most typical history courses concentrate on politics,economics and war.But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people,but also religious beliefs,emotions,and psychology.D
81.In addition,information about the daily activities of our ancestors-or of people very different from our own-can be provided by art.In short,art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place,and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.F
82.In history books,objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is,facts about politics are given,but opinions are not expressed.Art,on the other hand,is subjective:it reflects emotions and opinions.The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly"political"artist.In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808,he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people.Over a hundred years later,symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso's Guernica to express the horror of war.Meanwhile,on another continent,the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera,Jose Clemente Orozco,and David Alfaro Siqueiros-as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins-depicted these Mexican artists'deep anger and sadness about social problems.C
83.In the same way,art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs.For hundreds of years in Europe,religious art was almost the only type of art that existed.Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible.Although most people couldn't read,they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.B
84.By contrast,one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.A.

分析 文章主要讲述了艺术历史对表达人们的情感和意见、反映宗教信仰等方面的作用.

11.I'll do it tomorrow,I swear!
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer from it.(71)CHowever,they only stare into space,eat snacks,surf the Internet,watch videos and look at their pretty peers sitting around them who,most likely,are doing nothing either.
According to a recent report by the BBC,95percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20percent of the world's population are chronic procrastinators,complicating their lives with their constant delaying of tasks.
The figures are discouraging.(72)D Just look at Hamlet,who is perhaps the world's most famous procrastinator.He is also a university student,and his indecision leads to tragedy(悲剧)in the biggest way.
Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior,but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.
(73)E Pelling says this is nonsense,as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time.She says the behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel nervous and ashamed,inconveniences others,and annoys loved ones.
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent(不良倾向的) in a society that views swift action as praiseworthy,and,at times,even as morally good.
(74)FPiers Steel,a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation,believes humankind is"designed"to procrastinate.Nevertheless,he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.(75)ABreak the task down into small pieces and work your way through them methodically.The second is ingenious:Give a trusted friend a sum of money and tell them that if you don't complete the task you have undertaken by a specific time,they can keep it or donate it to a cause you hate.

A.The first one is obvious.
B.But this does nothing to break the spell.
C.They could spend whole days in the library doing nothing useful.
D.Procrastinators are less wealthy,less healthy and less happy than those who don't delay.
E.Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure.
F.Fortunately,social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral weakness and offer strategies to control it.
G.Paralyzed by their habit to procrastinate,they write micro blogs about their fears,asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue.

18.[1]Everyone has dreams.Usually they obey the rule that if you can dream it,you can achieve it!If you want to obtain a perfect life in the future,there are always some goals.
[2]The first goal common to all of us is health and energy.We all want to be healthy and fit,to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness.Today,with the incredible advance in medical science,the quality of our health and fitness,and our lifespan is largely determined by design,not by chance.People with excellent health habits are far healthier,have more energy,and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits.Remember that health is not everything,but without health everything is nothing!
[3]The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships-personal or social-with the people we like and respect,and who           in turn.Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage,and in each area of your life.How well you get along with people,and how much they like and respect you,have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.

8.Noah Webster published his first dictionary of the English language in 1806,and in 1828published the first edition of his An American Dictionary of the English Language.The work came out in 1828in two volumes.It contained 12,000words from 30,000to 40,000definitions (定义) that had not appeared in any earlier dictionary.In 1840the second edition,corrected and enlarged,came out,in two volumes.He completed the revision (修订) of an appendix (附录) a few days before his death,which occurred in New Haven on the 28th of May 1843.
Webster changed the spelling of many words in his dictionaries in an attempt to make them more phonetic(音形一致).Many of the differences between American English and other English variants(变体) evident today originated this way.The modern convention of having only one acceptable and correct spelling for a word is due mostly to the efforts of Webster,in standardizing spelling.Previous to this,the popular viewpoint on spelling might have best been summed up by Benjamin Franklin who said that he"had no use for a man with but one spelling for a word."
Webster's dictionary was so popular that"Webster's"became synonymous (同义的) with dictionary to many Americans.As a result,the Webster's name lost trademark protection and is now used by many publishers in the titles of their dictionaries.Among these,the Merriam-Webster's dictionary is considered to be the most direct example of Noah Webster's lexicographical (词典编纂的) tradition,the Merriam brothers having purchased the rights to revise the dictionary from Webster's heirs (继承人) upon his death.

81.What was published by Noah Webster in 1828?(No more than 4words)
An American Dictionary. (2marks)     
82.When did Noah Webster die?(No more than 8words)
He died on the 28th of May 1843. (2marks)     
83.Why did Webster change the spelling of many words in his dictionaries?(No more than 7words)
.(Because) He attempted/tried to make them phonetic.
To make the words/them phonetic.
84.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?(No more than 5words)
Webster's influence/effect on American dictionaries (3marks)

15.[1]Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy,or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy.They make great efforts to achieve that perfect relationship,the perfect house,the beautiful body,the approval of others,all in an attempt to be happy.
[2]Sometimes these things make people happy; other times,people stress over not having reached the goals,or reach them and find they're still unhappy.Other times,people focus on just one goal and don't have time for other things that will make them truly happy.
[3]Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness.Some of them are the things like money,friends,health and living conditions; others are things you may not think of in your daily life,such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life.
[4]So while setting your goals,remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support,personal development,physical health and meaningful pursuits(追求) besides career success and financial security._____________,your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction.In addition to being optimistic,happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate,rather than the victims of circumstance.
[5]Explore the state of your life,assess how truly happy you are,and find a direction to work toward that will likely bring more happiness.Reach your goals,set new ones and live a life that truly makes you happy.
