Van Gogh is famous for 小题1: amazing use of color and shape. Born in 1853, he was painting at a time when art was changing. A long time ago, artists tried to make their paintings look real like photographs. 小题2: later on, art became more about the artist’s own ideas. If you see a Van Gogh, it won’t look like the real world. It will look even 小题3: (beautiful).
Some of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings are of natural scenes and flowers, such as Sunflowers. He also painted many wonderful self-portraits (自画像),小题4: brought him a lot of fame. Van Gogh had a great gift for painting; however, he was a 小题5: (trouble) man. At one point, he cut off his own ear.
Van Gogh is now one of the world’s most famous artists. But he died at the age of 37, alone and poor. Almost 小题6: knew or cared about his art at that time. Although he was a great genius, he suffered 小题7: (great). Some say that his madness was 小题8: he paid for his art.
Actually, if Van Gogh 小题9:(die) at the age of twenty, no one would have connected him with failure or mental illness. Instead he would have been remembered by those close to him 小题10: a dutiful son . |

解析
试题分析：本文叙述了荷兰的著名画家凡高擅长画风景和花，他也画过许多自画像，他年轻时他是制造麻烦的人，他曾经割过自己的耳朵，曾患过精神疾病，最后因为失败和疾病而去世。
小题1:考查代词。因为这里的形容词性物主代词与主语一致，故用his.
小题2:考查连词。这里用but表示前后是转折关系，故用but.
小题3:考查形容词。这里用even 修饰形容词在比较级，故用more beautiful.
小题4:考查非限制性定语从句。这里是非限制性定语从句，先行词是self-portraits ，不能用that ，只能用which，它在从句中作主语。
小题5:考查形容词。这里修饰后面在名词所以用形容词troubled.
小题6:考查代词。根据上下文可知当时在人没有人知道他，故用nobody.
小题7:考查副词。这里用副词来修饰动词，故用greatly.
小题8:考查连词。这里what引导在表语从句，它在从句中作宾语。
小题9:考查虚拟语气。根据主句在谓语动词可以看出是对过去在虚拟，所以从句用had died.
小题10:考查介词。as作为某种身份。
点评：考查了高中要求掌握最基础的语法知识，有连词、非限制性定语从句、形容词、副词及虚拟语气等，需要考生有扎实的基础知识，牢记一些短语及单词的用法。根据短文的大意判断用什么单词的什么形式来填空。 |

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying. 1 However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you"re aware that you"re going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.
Undo your seatbelt. 2 Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn"t going to wait for you to make the call.
3 Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car"s electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don"t think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window. If you aren"t able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you"ll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car. 4
Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. 5 While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you"re doing.
A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.
B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.
C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.
D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.
E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.
F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it. |

Manager,
I am an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.
First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.
As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider about these problems and make some improvement.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua |

Being yourself refers to not trying to copy anyone or do what isn’t your nature. Then what does it take to be yourself？First, you must know yourself inside. Looking inside is the key to knowing your positive aspects. If you yourself aren’t clear about who “YOU” are and what your personal analysis is, you’ll come to a dead end. It’s essential to be comfortable with yourself and think positively.
Once you’ve done a self analysis, it’s time to focus on this material world. Think about what you basically want to do and achieve in life. Make it clear to yourself what you like and do not like and what your passion (激情) is in your life. If you dislike something, don’t try to like it just because your best friend is fond of it. Focusing on your passion and interests will keep you positive.
Honesty is the best policy for being yourself. Be honest and express what you feel but make sure that you do not hurt others. Wherever you can speak out freely without holding anything back, it is best to be honest. That adds character to your personality and is essential for being yourself in a relationship as well.
Be confident but don’t be overconfident. You have to believe in what you do and what you want. If you hesitate, getting up and giving it your best shot with full confidence is what matters. Moreover, you should have faith in yourself. If you know who you are, it would not matter much what the whole world thinks of you. But that won’t mean that you have unrealistic expectations from yourself.
Understanding how to be yourself does not at all mean that you focus only on your inner self. I mean that your external (外在的) appearance also matters a lot. If you are poorly dressed or wearing your dad’s old T-shirt, no one would come and talk to you. So one needs to dress well and look good. Unless people come and talk to you, they would not know what kind of person you are. In a word, you need to have a combination of inner beauty and a smart appearance.

With healthy self-confidence you’ll take more chances and overcome obstacles faster. How do you boost your self-confidence? Here are some easy-to-try-out trips.
Speak well of yourself. We become what we think about most of the time. 小题1: If you continually tell yourself you “can’t do something”, you’re sure to create that reality for yourself, because that is how you see yourself. On the other hand, if you repeatedly say and think to yourself something like, “I am capable of creating a life I love”, soon you will begin creating a life you love.
Surround yourself with self-confident people and positive environments. It sounds a bit obvious, but if you have friends that lack confidence, you probably do too. If you’re surrounded by people who criticize others and speak poorly of themselves, get out! Remove yourself from their company. 小题2: Seek out friends who are confident and you’ll feel your confidence increasing.
小题3: Don’t say you’re going to do something unless you really intend to do it. We’ve all met the “big talkers” – people who talk about their big plans but never do anything to make them happen. The “big talkers” lose face because no one believes they’ll do what they say they’re going to do.
Accept fear and obstacles as a natural part of life and growth. Don’t beat yourself up when you find yourself gripped(抓住) by fear and other emotions. 小题4:Be aware when these feelings are present but don’t let them stop you. Keep moving forward by telling yourself you’re much more than the obstacles you face and failures you experience.
小题5: Once a month, take a few moments to write down all that you have done well. Acknowledge the work you do and your strengths on a regular basis. In doing so, you’ll begin seeing and appreciating all the good you do.| A．Start with small steps. | | B．We become what we say about ourselves. | | C．Negative environments are hard to escape. | | D．Don’t judge yourself for having these feelings. |
E. In fact, no company is better than bad company.
F. Take action on what you say you’re going to do.
G. Take time out to focus on all that you have done well. |
