【题目】Charles Blackman:Alice in Wonderland

An Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV),Australia

10 June —12 August 2015

Venue (地点) The Ian Potter Centre

Admission Free entry

Charles Blackman is famous for his beautiful painting of dreams. In 1956, he heard for the first time Lewis Carroll’s extraordinary tale of Alice in Wonderland –the story of a Victorian girl who falls down a rabbit hole, meets a lot of funny characters and experiences all kinds of things. At that time, Blackman’s wife was suffering form progressive blindness. The story of Alice moving through the strange situations, often disheartened by various events, was similar to his wife’s experiences. It also reflected so much of his own life. All this contributed to the completion of the Alice in Wonderland paintings.

Darling Kelli

I’m so sorry I will not get to see you grow up as I so want to. Please don’t blame people or the world for this. I wish I didn’t have cancer and you didn’t have to see me in pain as you often do now.

_【1】_ We don’t have that time. I won’t be able to drop you off on your first day at big school, pick you up after your first date, hold you when your heart hurts or cheer when you graduate.

But while your old dad is still around I thought I’d try to give you some life advice. I hope it gives you some comfort.

School

Everyone will say it’s important to work hard at school. Hopefully you’ll always do your best. I did well at school but did it do me much good in life? Not really. __2__

Mummy

You and your mum will argue at times, especially when you’re a teenager. __3__ Give Mummy a hug when she is feeling sad and help each other get through any horrible times when I am gone. When you’re a teenager you might think your friends are right and your mum is wrong. But she has to make hard decisions for you. Treat her well.

Christmas & birthdays

On your first Christmas without me, I’d love if you and Mummy would light a candle and remember me for a few minutes. It would be great if you two did the monkey dance together. That’s something to make me smile from up above.

I’ve given Nanny Sue presents for all your birthdays. I wish I could be there to see you open them. __4__

__5__

In life, many people will say you cannot do things. You make up your mind. Can you? Big challenges involve risks so make smart choices. Those who told me I couldn’t do certain things didn’t want me to do them. If you want something, it is nearly always possible, so do your best. I’m sure there’s a lot you can achieve!

And finally, thank you for being you, Kelli. Having you as my daughter is the greatest honour of my life.

All my love, always, to you princess and to Mummy,

Daddy

A. Please remember she loves you and wants the best for you.

B. Most dads and daughters have decades to chat around the kitchen table.

C. Remember your life motto.

D. Believe in yourself.

E. School work is important, but make sure you have fun too.

F. Remember to write thank-you letters for presents of kindness as it is always nice to act with grace and gratitude.

G. Hopefully you will like everything as it’s hard to imagine you at 10, 15, and 20.

【题目】

San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space needle. And, Longview has its squirrel(松鼠) bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.

The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.

The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.

One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会). The council approved, and Council woman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”.

After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum(铝) and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost $1,000. It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.

In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.

Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.

【1】The underlined words “getting flattened” in the second paragraph mean “being______”.

A. killed B. guided C. stolen D. raised

【2】The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built to _______.

A. Provide drivers convenient way to pass

B. Honor the builder named Bess LaRiviere

C. Spread 60-foot fire hose

D. Help squirrels cross the highway

【3】The rebuilding of the bridge was because_______.

A. it was made of wood

B. it was too narrow

C. it was too old

D. the repairs were too expensive

【4】The best title for this article would be ______.

A. Nutty Narrows Passage of Life

B. Lovely squirrels, Warm-hearted Drivers

C. Squirrels, Who Cares?

D. A Worn-out Bridge And Its History

【1】 If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale,you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. 2 If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.

3 You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.

4 But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete(具体的). If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. 5 It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.

A. The market may be something abstract(抽象的).

B. The sellers are always smarter than buyers.

C. When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market.

D. The market is a concept.

E. One has to make his ends meet when shopping.

F. The market is telling you something.

G. Your efforts are being directed by the market.
