Module 1未来的城市
未来的城市将会是什么样子呢?没有人确切地了解,预测也是一件很冒险的事。但有一件事是可以肯定的——它们将会先变大,然后再变小。在未来,爱护环境将会很重要,因为地球的资源将濒临枯竭。我们将会使用大量的可回收材料,例如,塑料、银、钢铁、玻璃、木头和纸。我们浪费自然资源的程度将会有所减弱。我们也将不得不更多地依赖其他能源。例如,太阳能和风能。所有的这些似乎是肯定的,但是还有许多关于城市生活的事情仍是未知的。为了获知年轻人对未来城市生活的想法,美国得克萨斯州的一位大学老师让他的学生们思考如何管理一个在2025年拥有5万人口的城市,下面是他们的一些构想:
垃圾船:为了摆脱垃圾问题的困扰,城市将会用巨型宇宙飞船装载废弃材料,朝太阳发射,这样做防止了垃圾填埋和环境问题。
勤务兵网:警察逮捕罪犯时,将会向罪犯射出网状物而不是用枪。戒烟:在未来城市范围内将禁止吸烟。只有在郊区和户外才允许吸烟。
告别商厦:将来所有的购物将会在网上进行,商品目录将会有语音指令来排序。
电话人生:每个人一出生就会给予一个电话号码,将来无论他们居住在哪儿,这个电话号码都不会更改。
娱乐:所有的娱乐形式,例如,电影院、保龄球、垒球、音乐会和其他等等都将由该市政府免费提供。
汽车:所有的汽车都将由电能、太阳能或风能提供动力,并且只要轻轻按一下开关就能够改变汽车的颜色。
远程手术:随着每个城市拥有自己的远程手术门诊部,医生将能在数千里以外实施手术,远程手术将会变得十分普通。
居家度假:年长的市民和残疾人通过使用绑在头上的髙新技术相机可以周游世界。太空遨游:普通市民遨游太空将会变得很平常,每个城市都将有自己的太空港。
Module 2 行在北京 出租车
北京大街上的出租车是24小时服务的。只要你招招手,立刻就会有出租车。它们通常都是红色车身,并且在车窗上显示每公里的路价。你要做的,就是确认司机有营运照,并且索要发票。
公交车和电车
公共交通为人们游览北京提供了低价位的出行方式。北京大约有两万多辆公交车和电车,但是,它们有时会很拥挤。最明智的做法是避免在高峰期(上午6:30-8:00,下午5:00-6:30)乘坐公交车和电车。这些车车票价格便宜,一元起价。空调车则要贵一些。公交线1到100路都是仅限于市中心内的,车号更高一些的线路,可以通达郊区。对于游人来说,最不该错过的是103路电车,它途经紫禁城和北海白塔,沿途风景令人印象深刻。如果你乘坐双层公共汽车,请务必坐在上层,这样你会一览这个飞速发展城市的亮丽风景。小公共汽车
在一些地区,这种12个座位的小型公共汽车给人们在昂贵的出租车和拥挤的公共汽车外,提供了第三种选择。它们跟大公共汽车走同样的路线,提供有规律的服务。在小公共汽车上,即使在高峰期也能找到空位。地铁
北京有四条地铁线,还有几条线也正在建设之中。地铁方便快捷,但在高峰期,情况会很糟糕。地铁票价单程为三元,站名用拼音标注,运营时间为上午5点到晚上11点。三轮脚踏车 游客们喜欢这些人力驱动的“三轮脚踏车”,但价格可能会较贵。因此坐之前要先弄清楚价格,明确价钱是否按人数计算、是单程还是往返双程的问题。如果想去老北京的胡同探秘,三轮脚踏车绝对是值得一坐的。
Module 3 身势语 说起“交流”,大多数人会想到单词或句子,虽然单词与句子十分重要,但我们并不只是用口语和书面语进行交流,身体的姿态是我们所称的“身势语”的一部分。我们经常看到无意识的身势语,但也有“习得”的身势语。习得的身势语在不同的文化中各不相同。
当我们被介绍给生人时,我们使用“习得的”身势语。跟动物一样,我们会保持警觉,直至知道安全的时候才放松。因此,在所有的文化中人们都有一种向陌生人打招呼的正规的方式,以表示他们并不具有侵犯倾向。欧美人的传统是握手,他们用右手握手——右手对多数人来说更有力一些。假如右手用于忙着与人打招呼就不可能握武器。因此,这种手势的意思是“我信任你,瞧,我没带威胁性的武器”,假如你和人握手,就是在表明你信任他们。我们在做交易时与人握手,意思就是“我们达成了协议,相互信任”。
亚洲人打招呼是不接触他人身体的,但他们要用手。与人打招呼时,中国人的传统方式是右手放在左手上,拱手,稍稍躬身而行礼。穆斯林行额手鞠躬礼,用手触左胸、嘴和额。印度人双手交合,恭敬地鞠躬。在上述例子中,手都在忙于打招呼,不可能拿武器。即使是现在,人们在非正式场合打招呼时,还会用手来表示信任对方。美国青年常常说着“击掌”来打招呼。说完后这个人举起手,手掌向外,五指展开。另一个人同样举起手,拍打对方举过头顶的手。这是现代常见的打招呼方式。身势语对于任何研究者来说都具有吸引力。人们通过姿势表达的意思要比通过话语表达得更多。看看你的朋友和家人,你能洞悉他们的心思吗?
Module 4问问题的学生
在当前的世界,水稻是主要食粮。中国是世界上最大的水稻产地。亚洲其他国家和一些欧洲国家比如意大利等,都种植水稻。在水稻种植界,中国科学家袁隆平是一位重要人士。袁隆平生长在中国。小时候,他在许多学校读过书,得了个“问问题的学生”的绰号。袁隆平从小就对植物感兴趣。他在大学里研究农学。作为一个年轻的教师,他开始了作物育种的实验。他想,养活世人的关键是更多更快地生产水稻。他认为,唯一的办法是使不同种类的水稻杂交,这样就能产生比原先任何一种水稻产量都要高的新品种。
首先,袁隆平对不同种类的水稻进行实验。1966年,他的研究成果在中国发表。接着,他开始寻找一种特殊的稻种。这种稻种必须是雄性的,必须是不结果的(译者注:它属于生物学所称的“雄性不育系”)。最后,在1970年,一种天然的雄性不育稻种被发现,这是一个突破性的发现。全国各地的研究者们被召集在一起开发新的水稻种。研究得到了政府的赞助。由于袁隆平的发现,中国的水稻产量在20世纪90年代增长了47.5%。还有其他的益处,5万平方公里原来的稻田现在被用来种植蔬菜和其他经济作物。除此以外,袁隆平研制的水稻还出口到巴基斯坦和菲律宾等国家。在巴基斯坦,水稻是继小麦之后的第二种最重要的作物并将在许多地方种植。中国袁隆平高科技农业公司已开发出一种新的杂交水稻。这种杂交水稻的产量远高于巴基斯坦其他种类的水稻。
Module 5 三峡之旅
1996年8月,一位年轻的美国英语教师彼得•赫斯勒,来到长江之滨的涪陵。他和另一位同事将在那里的一所教师进修学院任教两年。整个城里只有他们两名外国人。元月底,第一学期结束了,他们有四周的春节假期,可以随处旅游。他们决定顺流而下。我们打算买到“江油号”的船票。同事们说:“你们不要坐那种船。它们太拥挤,主要是用来运货的。乘客多是沿江做生意的人。那些船不停靠庙宇,也不会有别的外国游人乘坐。”我觉得听起来还不错。我们出示护照后便上了船。
在一个美丽的午后,我们离开码头。当我们顺流而下穿过山区的时候,阳光很灿烂。男人们乘坐着江边的竹筏,运煤的小船来来往往。太阳落山时,我们的船在丰都靠岸。我们目睹太阳在白塔后西沉,美丽极了。
穿过长江第一峡——瞿塘峡时,我们正在睡梦中。江水在两英里高的峰恋间奔流,峡谷狭窄处只有350英尺。我朋友说:“至少我们能看见另外两个峡谷。” 船到巫山时,我们绕道溯游大宁河,观赏了几处小峡谷。第二天,我们经过了长江的大峡谷。在一个美丽的上午轮船驶过巫峡。我们还经过了湘江,那是公元前三世纪一位诗人——屈原的家乡。长江有太多的历史。块块巨石形象各异,条条支流都流淌着传说,座座小山承载着过往。穿过长江第三峡——西陵峡后,轮船驶入大坝建设处的江面。所有的乘客都上了甲板,大家拍照片,对着工地指指点点,但不可以下船。五星红旗在风中飘扬着。远山上写着20英尺大的汉字“建造三峡大坝,开发长江资源”。
Module 6 天池里的怪物
在最近几次露面后,中国东北吉林省长白山的“天池怪物”又成了新闻。据当地的旅游办公室主任孟凡迎介绍,最近有人看见怪物就在离湖边十米的地方,怪物的颜色似乎是黑色的。他说:“大约有两百多人从长白山的西峰看见过怪物,它像海豹一样跃出水面。”尽管谁也没有看清楚这神秘怪物的真面目,但当地一位摄影师薛俊林声称:怪物的头看起来像马头。最近另有一次,一群战士证实:他们看见湖的水面上有东西在游动。正在湖边行走的战士看见怪物游弋了大约两分钟。其中一名战士说;“怪物的颜色浅绿带黑,圆形的头上有十厘米左右的角。”
又一次报导来自李小和,当时他和家人正在湖边游玩。他说他看见圆形黑色的东西在湖面快速游过三四百米后潜入水中。十分钟后,怪物再次出现,并重复了相同的动作。李小和先生说他和家人看清楚了怪物,因为当时天气好,湖水平静。
自上世纪初以来,一直就有关于天池怪物的报导,尽管还不曾有人近距离目睹过。虽然拍有怪物的一些照片,但由于距离太远,看起来模糊不清。许多人认为,天池里的怪物或许是苏格兰尼斯湖中怪物的远亲。他们还认为,在世界其他地方的湖泊中可能也有类似的怪物。然而,科学家们表示怀疑。他们说,温度低的湖中不可能存活如此大的生物。
天池是世界上最高的火山湖,海拔2,189米,面积有10平方公里,有的地方水深达370米。

Public transport provides a cheap way to get around in Beijing.公共交通为人们游览北京提供了低价位的出行方式。There are 20,000 buses and trolleybuses in Beijing, but they can get very crowded.北京大约有两万多辆公交车和电车,但是,它们有时会很拥挤。It's a good idea to avoid public transport during the rush hour(6:30 am and 8:00 am and 5:00 pm and 6:30 pm).最明智的做法是避免在高峰期(上午6:00一8:00,下午5:00一6:30)乘坐公交车和电车。Fares are cheap, starting at 1 yuan.这些车车票价格便宜,一元起价。Air-conditioned buses cost more.空调车则要贵一些。
Buses numbered 1 to 100 are limited to travel within the city centre.公交线1到100路部是仅限于市中心内的,Higher numbers have destinations in the suburbs.车号更高一些的线路,可以通达郊区。Tourists shouldn't miss the 103 bus which offers one of the most impressive routes, past the Forbidden City and the White Pagoda in Beihai Park.对于游人来说,最不该错过的是103路电车,它途经紫禁城和北海白塔,沿途风景令人印象深刻。If you get on a double-decker bus, make sure you sit upstairs.如果你乘坐双层公共汽车,请务必坐在上层,You'll have a good view of the rapidly changing city.这样你会一览这个飞速发展城市的亮丽风景。Most buses run from about 5:00 am to midnight.However, there is also a night bus service, provided by buses with a number in the 200s.Minibuses小公共汽车
Minibuses with seats for12 passengers offer an alternative to expensive taxis and crowded public transport in some areas.在一些地区,这种12个座位的小型公共汽车给人们在昂贵的出租车和拥挤的公共汽车外,提供了第三种选择。They run regular services and follow the same routes as large public buses.它们跟大公共汽车走同样的路线,提供有规律的服务。And in a minibus you always get a seat even in rush hours.在小公共汽车上,即使在高峰期也能找到空位。Underground地铁
There are four underground lines in Beijing, and several lines are under construction.北京有四条地铁线,还有几条线也正在建设之中。Trains are fast and convenient, but rush hours can be terrible.地铁方便快捷,但在高峰期,情况会很糟糕。A one-way trip costs 3 yuan.地铁票价单程为三元,Station names are marked in pinyin.站名拼音标注,The underground is open from 5:00 am to 11:00 pm.运营时间为上午5点到晚上11点。Pedi cabs三轮脚踏车
Tourists like these human-pedaled “tricycle taxis”, but they can be expensive.游客们喜欢这些人力驱动的“三轮脚踏车”,但价格可能会较贵。You should talk to the driver, and make sure you know the price before you begin the journey, for example, if it is per person, single or return.因此坐之前要先弄清楚价格,明确价钱是否按人数计算、是单程还是往返双程的问题。Tricycles are worth using if you want to explore the narrow alleys(hutong)of old Beijing.如果想去老北京的胡同探秘,三轮脚踏车绝对是值得一坐的。
3.必修四Module 3 Body language身势语
If you say the word “communication”, most people think of words and sentences.Although these are very important, we communicate with more than just spoken and written words.Indeed, body positions are part of what we call “body language”.说起“交流”,大多数人会想到单词或句子,虽然单词与句子十分重要,但我们并不只是用口语和书面语进行交流,身体的姿态是我们所称的“身势语”的一部分。We see examples of unconscious body language very often, yet there is also “learned” body language, which varies from culture to culture.我们经常看到无意识的身势语,但也有“习得”的身势语。习得的身势语在不同的文化中各不相同。We use “learned” body language when we are introduced to strangers.当我们被介绍给生人时,我们使用 “习得的”身势语。Like other animals, we are on guard until we know it is safe to relax.跟动物一样,我们会保持警觉,直至知道安全的时候才放松。So every culture has developed a formal way to greet strangers, to show them we are not aggressive.因此,在所有的文化中人们都有一种向陌生人打招呼的正规的方式,以表示他们并不具有侵犯倾向。Traditionally, Europeans and Americans shake hands.欧美人的传统是握手,They do this with the right hand---the strongest hand for most people.他们用右手握手---右手对多数人来说更有力一些。If our right hand is busy greeting someone, it cannot be holding a weapon.假如右手用于忙着与人打招呼就不可能握武器。So the gesture is saying, “I trust you.Look, I'm not carrying a threatening weapon.” 因此,这种手势的意思是 “我信任你,瞧,我没带威胁性的武器”,If you shake hands with someone, you show you trust them.假如你和人握手,就是在表明你信任他们。We shake hands when we make a deal.It means, “We agree and we trust each other.” 我们在做交易时与人握手,意思就是 “我们达成了协议,相互信任”
Greetings in Asian countries do not involve touching the other person, but they always involve the hands.亚洲人打招呼是不接触他人身体的,但他们要用手。Traditionally in China, when we greet someone, we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly.与人打招呼时,中国人的传统方式;右手放在左手上,拱手,稍稍躬身而行礼。Muslims give a “salaam”, where they touch their heart, mouth and forehead.穆斯林行额手鞠躬礼,用手触左胸、嘴和额。Hindus join their hands and bow their heads in respect.印度,双手交合,恭敬地鞠躬。In all of these examples, the hands are busy with the greeting and cannot hold a weapon.在上述例子中,手部在忙于打招呼,不可能拿武器。
Even today, when some people have very informal styles of greeting, they still use their hands as a gesture of trust.即使是现在,人们在非正式场合打招呼时,还会用手来表示信任对方。American youths often greet each other with the expression, “Give me five!” 美国青年常常说,“击掌” 来打招呼。One person then holds up his hand, palm outwards and five fingers spread.说完后这个人举起手,手掌向外,五指展开。The other person raises his hand and slaps the other's open hand above the head in a “high five”.另一个人同样举起手,拍打对方举过头顶的手。Nowadays, it is quite a common greeting.这是现代常见的打招呼方式。Body language is fascinating for anyone to study.身势语对于任何研究者来说都具有吸引力。People give away much more by their gestures than by their words.人们通过姿势表达的意思要比通过话语表达巧更多。Look at your friends and family and see if you are a mind reader!看看你的朋友和家人,你能洞悉他们的心思吗?
4.必修四Module 4 The Student Who Asked Questions问问题的学生 In a hungry world rice is a staple food and China is the world’s largest producer.在当前的世界,水稻是主要食粮。中国是世界上最大的水稻产地。Rice is also grown in may other Asian countries, and in some European counties like Italy.亚洲其他国家和一些欧洲国家比如意大利等,也种植水稻。In the rice-growing world, the Chinese scientist, Yuan Longping, is a leading key.在水稻种植界,中国科学家袁隆平是一位重要人士。
Yuan Longping was born and brought up in China.袁隆平生长在中国。As a boy he was educated in many schools and was given the nickname, “the student who asks questions”.小时候,他在许多学校读过书,得了个“问问题的学生”的绰号。From an early age he was interested in plants.袁隆平从小就对植物感兴趣。He studied agriculture in college and as a young teacher he began experiments in crop breeding.他在大学里研究农学。作为一个年轻的教师,他开始了作物育种的实验。He thought that the key to feeding people was to have more rice and to produce it more quickly.他想,养活世人的关键是更多更快地生产水稻。He thought there was only one way to do this-----by crossing different species of rice plant, and then he could produce a new plant which could give a higher yield than either of the original plants.他认为,唯一的办法是使不同种类的水稻杂交,这样就能产生比原先任何一种水稻产量部要高的新品种。
First Yuan Longping experimented with different types of rice.首先,袁隆平对不同种类的水稻进行实验。The results of his experiments were published in China in 1966.1966年,他的研究成果在中国发表。Then he began his search for a special type of rice plant.接着,他开始寻找一种特殊的稻种。It had to be male.It had to be sterile.这种稻种必须是雄性的,必须是不结果的(译者注:它属于生物学所称的“雄性不育系”)。Finally, in 1970 a naturally sterile male rice plant was discovered.最后,在1970年,一种天然的雄性不育稻种被发现,This was the breakthrough.这是一个突破性的发现。Researchers were brought in from all over China to develop the new system.全国各地的研究者们被召集在一起开发新的水稻种。The research was supported by the government.研究得到了政府的赞助。As a result of Yuan Longping's discoveries Chinese rice production rose by 47.5 percent in the 1990's.由于袁隆平的发现,中国的水稻产量在20世纪90年代增长了47.5%。There were other advantages too.50 thousand square kilometers of rice fields were converted to growing vegetables and other cash crops.还有其他的益处,5万平方公里原来的稻田现在被用来种植蔬菜和其他经济作物。Following this, Yuan Longping's rice was exported to other countries, such as Pakistan and the Philippines.除此以外,袁隆平研制的水稻还出口到巴基斯坦和菲律宾等国家。In Pakistan rice is the second most important crop after wheat and will be grown in many parts of the country.在巴基斯坦,水稻是继小麦之后的第二种最重要的作物并将在许多地方种植。The new hybrid rice has been developed by the Yuan Longping High-tech Agricultural Company of China.中国袁隆平高科技农业公司已开发出一种新的杂交水稻。Its yield is much greater than the yield of other types of rice grown in Pakistan.这种杂交水稻的产量远高于种植于巴基斯的坦其他种类的水稻。

We left the docks on a beautiful afternoon.在一个美丽的午后,我们离开码头。The sun was shining brightly as we sailed downstream through a hilly region.当我们顺流而下穿过山区的时候,阳光很灿烂。Men rode bamboo rafts along the river's edge and coal boats went past.男人们乘坐着江边的竹筏,运煤的小船来来往往。As the sun set we docked at Fengdu.太阳落山时,我们的船在丰都靠岸。We could see the sun setting behind the white pagoda.It was beautiful.我们目睹太阳在白塔后西沉,美丽极了。

In another recent sighting, a group of soldiers claim they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water.最近另有一次,一群战士证实:他们看见湖的水面上有东西在游动。The soldiers, who were walking along the side of the lake, watched the creature swimming for about two minutes.正在湖边行走的战士看见怪物游弋了大约两分钟。”It was greenish-black and had a round head with lo-centimeter horns“, one of the soldiers said.其中一名战士说;”怪物的颜色浅绿带黑,圆形的头上有十厘米左右的角。"

Module4 第3课时 Grammar
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.—How long________at this job? —Since 1990.A.were you employed
B.have you been employed C.had you been employed D.will you be employed 答案:B 从答语Since 1990,我们可以知道,说话人问的是一段时间,since表示“从过去一直到现在”,因此本空用现在完成时。
2.—What happened to the priceless works of art? —________.A.They were destroyed in the earthquake B.The earthquake was destroying them C.They destroyed in the earthquake D.The earthquake destroyed them 答案:A 本题考查时态、语态与习惯表达。句意:“那些价值连城的艺术品发生了什么事?”“它们在地震中被毁掉了。”第一个说话人问的是发生在the priceless works of art上的事情,因此回答时为了有所侧重,将they放在了主语的位置上,they与destroy之间为被动关系,且叙述过去的事情,因此最佳答案是A。
3.If city noises________from increasing, people________shout to be heard even at the dinner table 20 years from now.A.are not kept;will have to B.are not kept;have to C.do not keep;will have to D.do not keep;have to 答案:A 句意:如果城市噪音的上升趋势不被禁止,那么二十年后人们即使在用餐的时候也得大声喊叫才能被人听到。真实条件状语从句用一般现在时,主句应用一般将来时。还要注意city noises和keep是被动关系。
4.All the gifts must be mailed immediately________in time for Christmas.A.in order to have received B.in order to receive C.so as to be received D.so as to be receiving 答案:C so as to后接动词原形,表示“以便”,根据gift与receive的关系可判断出要用to be done的形式;表示被动。

答案:C rose是不及物动词,不能用被动语态;如果是增长或提高了百分之多少,必须用介词by,用介词to时只能是具体数字。根据这两条可判断,答案为C。
7.—Why isn't the recorder ready yet? —I'm sorry.It________in the shop.A.is being repaired B.is repaired C.has been repaired D.hasn't repaired 答案:A 此题考查时态和语态。根据语意,应该用现在进行时态的被动语态,所以正确答案为A,表示机器正在修理。

12.I need one more stamp before my collection________.A.has completed B.completes C.has been completed D.is completed 答案:D 句意:在我的收集完成前,还需要一张邮票。该题考查时间状语从句的时态和语态。从主句时态看出,从句应该用一般现在时。而complete而collection构成动宾关系,所以用被动语态。
13.Hundreds of jobs________if the factory closes.A.lose B.will be lost C.are lost D.will lose 答案:B 句意:如果工厂关闭,将会失去成百上千个工作岗位。此题包括一个if引导的状语从句,从句用现在时,主句用一般将来时,而且句意为被动,故B为最佳。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
He lived his whole life as a poor man.His art and talent were recognized by almost no one.He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later.But in his death, he achieved world fame.Today, Dutch artist Van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003“The Van Gogh Year”in his honour.And the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions through the year.The museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year.Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life.Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a minister.He left school when he was just 15.By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher.Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions(情感)into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene.His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes(绘画笔法).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use colour more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly,”he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life.He relied heavily on support from his brother, an art dealer who lived in Paris.But now his works are sold for millions of dollars.His Portrait of Dr Gachet sold for US $ 89.5 million in 1990.It is the powerful and the brilliant colours in them are attractive to people,”said a Van Goah's fan.1.All through his life Van Gogh________.A.depended on his brother B.worked hard on his dream C.was not recognized by people D.expressed himself in paintings 答案:C 细节理解题。由第一段前两句“He lived his whole life as a poor man.His art and talent were recognized by almost no one.”可知,凡·高活着的时候没有得到人们的认可。
2.Van Gogh killed himself because of________.A.the poor life B.his illness C.his pain from the left ear D.the refusal by artists of his time 答案:B 细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知导致凡·高自杀的原因是他得了精神病。3.One of the characteristis of Van Gogh's paintings is________.A.the likeness between his pintings and the reality B.the short time for him to complete a painting C.the various styles mixed together D.the special strokes he made 答案:D 细节理解题。由第四段第二句“His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes.”可得出答案。
4.The selling of his paintings is considered to be the most successful because________.A.more and more people like his paintings B.people can understand him through his paintings C.1.3 million people visit his paintings museum every year D.Zundert has made 2003“The Van Gogh Year”in his honour
答案:A 细节理解题。因为越来越多的人喜欢凡·高的作品,他的作品才得以高价出售,大获成功。
