B Portraits as Art
According to a dictionary, portraiture is “a representation (描绘) of a person, especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.” However, this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture. Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness. These concepts of identity involve social rank, gender, age, profession, character of the subject, etc. It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity. Therefore, portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects. Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice. The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles. Therefore, portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social, psychological, and artistic practices and expectations.
Since portraits are different from other art categories, they are worthy of separate study. During their production, portraits require the presence of a specific person, or an image of the individual. In many instances, the production of portraiture has required sittings, which result in interaction between the subject(s) and the artist throughout the creation of the work. In certain instances, portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects. If the sitter can’t sit in the studio regularly, portraitists could use his or her photographs. InEurope, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head. Theoretically, portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting, but this rarely occurred according to documented records. Nonetheless, whether the work is based on model sittings, copying a photograph, or using memory, the process of painting a portrait is linked with the model’s attendance.
Furthermore, portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance, or likeness. As such, the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation. Based on Renaissance art theory, portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art. Michelangelo’s well-known protest against portraits is only one example. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the attitude to portraiture was critical. Even so, artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections. Picasso, for example, became widely-known
forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画) early in his career, but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers. 4. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it. B. Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created. C. Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary. D. Portrait art shouldn’t be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity. 5. Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms. B. Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation between artists. C. Portraits show models in a more accurate way than other art forms. D. Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists. 6. According to paragraph 2, during portraits’ production, artists __________. A. based their work on the subjects’ attendance B. preferred models’ photographs to their presence C. were more willing to use impressions or memories D. reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitter’s head
7. Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he __________. A. altered the way other artists felt about portrait art B. created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait art C. depended on portrait art to establish a higher reputation D. had fewer theoretical objections to portraitures than others

Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of
a different color1 or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found thatgirls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: ly not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
8. What does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club? A. They're unfair. B. They're conservative. C. They're objective. D. They're strict. 9. What can we infer about girls from the study inScience? A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers.
C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 10. Why are more geniuses known to the public? A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors' concepts. D. Changes in people's social positions. 11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck

First grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.
The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.
In the video, which Rebecca also shared on , Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”
School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.
Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”
12. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome? A. It can be treated with drugs. B. It is usually found at an early age. C. People with it will say dirty words.
D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds. 13. Because of the disease, others often _________. A. take pity on Gavin B. give a hand to Gavin C. keep away from Gavin D. look down upon Gavin 14. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________. A. explains her brother’s disease B. expresses her love for her brother C. complains about unkind comments D. encourages others to donate money 15. What can be used to best describe Gavin? A. Lucky. B. Helpless.
C. Optimistic. D. Stubborn.

Most of us don’ t have millions of dollars to go door-to-door to persuade people to care about climate change.___16___So let’s talk to them about climate change. Because if we can’t convince our parents to take action on climate, who can we convince?
It might be a hard conversation. If you do accept this challenge, here are a few suggestions:
Talk to them with love and respect. If you’ve ever used any poisonous terms, please get rid of them from your vocabulary.___17___
Share a couple of informative articles on the topic. Bill Mckibben’s article in Rolling Stone is great and very readable.___18___The most important thing for them to understand is that on our current path we may no longer have a climate that allows for secure societies within the lifetimes of today’s children.
Once these unpleasant facts are laid out, make it clear that you aren’t blaming them for this. Your parents likely made all of their decisions with a strong sense of morality and social responsibility, and could only make those decisions based on the information they had at the time.___19___But now that you have provided this new information, talk about how it warns them，and all of us, to behave in new ways.
Encourage them to buy environmentally friendly goods and services as much as possible. Talk to them about trying to avoid using or use less fossil fuels. But given the urgency and severity of the problem, also make it clear that this will not be enough.___20___ A. But most of us do have parents. B. Ask them to please care for both of them. C. Otherwise, you’ re making everything worse. D. There’s no need to flood them with data.
E. And give them a hug, because they’d probably like that!
F. This is a challenge that requires us all to act as citizens, not just as consumers.
G. Therefore, if they have done something improper before, it is not necessarily their fault. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）
