The portraits depict(刻画) the men and women whose lives and achievements helped shape Scotland and the wider world. The Gallery is also home to the NGS’s outstanding collection of photographs which includes around 6,000 works by the early Scottish pioneers of the medium, Robert Adamson and David Octavius Hill as well as new works by leading-edge contemporary photographers.
Visitor Facilities
The new Portrait Gallery cafe serves a delicious menu of fresh dishes and classic recipes, using the very best local ingredients and seasonal produce.

【题目】 Just days before Jessica Joy Rees lost her heartbreaking battle with brain tumors(瘤), her parents wrote on their blog about how they were excited for a great 2012.
They were confident that the 12-year-old girl would reach her goal of making 50,000 of her “Joy Jars” which were filled with candy and toys for sick children. They were exploring other medical treatments in Europe. They continued to pray and encouraged others to do the same. Unfortunately, their prayers were answered differently than they hoped.

What is art? It is very difficult to come 【1】 with a thorough answer. Tons of people have their own opinions and think they know what art 【2】 (true) is. Most people’s answers are too general to distinguish what art is. Art is a creative form of work,【3】 (design) to have a purpose and show emotion.
There is a purpose to every piece of artwork. Therefore 【4】 artist had to start with a unique idea, or reason for 【5】 they’re creating. Historically, art has many different purposes for being made. Artists have made art for logical 【6】 (purpose) like entertainment, communication, and sometimes just to express 【7】 (they). The first time I made art, it was in kindergarten. I remember a mini house glued on paper for my family. Art has to have a connection between the artist and the actual art project itself. As is the case with the Statue of Liberty, and freedom.

I went to watch the ballet The Peony Pavilion last Sunday’s evening. Because I think ballet was more or less the same everywhere, I was total unprepared for its unique beauty. I was absorb as soon as the curtain rose up. The performance borrowed a lot from Chinese dance and music, but the Eastern influence on the ballet was clear. The production was filled in colours and romantic symbols, and challenged my sense in new ways. So much did I enjoy that it has changed my opinion about ballet. I can’t wait to going again!

【题目】 Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel bad about asking for help when they need it.
And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept. While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you for the imposter (骗子) you really are.”
But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.
Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for help”. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter(计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.
“If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far,” Jobs said.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.What key American values are.B.Why Americans refuse to ask for help.
C.Asking for help is a sign of strength.D.Americans are responsible for their life.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “inept” in Paragraph 2?
A.impoliteB.depressedC.incompetentD.sensitive
【3】What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon?
A.Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust.
B.Americans see weakness as a sign of strength.
C.Americans should learn to build up confidence.
D.Americans think highly of individual values.
【4】What can we learn from Jobs’ words in the last paragraph?
A.Don’t hesitate to ask for help.B.Be brave to try whatever you want.
C.Never ask for help.D.Learn to cooperate with others.
