A long time ago, there was an emperor. He had a beautiful garden. In the garden, there was a little nightingale (夜莺) singing very beautifully.
One day the emperor heard about this little bird’s beautiful voice. He asked his guards to bring her to him. As soon as the emperor heard the nightingale’s voice, he said, “Put her in a golden cage, so she can stay and sing for me whenever I want to hear her.”
The little bird was so unhappy about being kept in the cage that she stopped singing one day. The emperor was very angry. He ordered the scientists in his palace to make a robot bird for him. The bird could sing very beautifully, too. The emperor was pleased. Soon the robot bird became old. It no longer sang beautiful songs. Just at that time, the emperor became very weak. One morning, while lying in bed, the emperor wanted it to sing once again. But the robot bird couldn’t sing any more. Suddenly the nightingale landed on the window. She began to sing her most beautiful song. The emperor was very happy!He became better and better each day.

三、閱读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案回答问题或完成句子。
Lightning (闪电) is shocking, and it happens all over the world!Scientists think that there are more than three million lightning strikes (袭击) every day in the world—that’s thirty strikes every second.
Lightning can also be very dangerous. Every year, lightning kills people because it can start big fires or because it reaches temperatures up to 28,000 degrees centigrade. American Roy Sullivan, who worked in a park, holds the record for surviving the most lightning strikes. Between 1942 and 1983, he was hit seven times!
So, why does lightning strike? Lightning strikes happen when ice and water in clouds rub (摩擦) together, and cause atmospheric (大气层的) changes. When this happens, it creates a static charge (静电电荷). Lightning can strike inside the cloud, between two clouds and between a cloud and Earth. It’s the last type of strike that is the most dangerous for humans. About 1,000 people get struck by lightning every year in the United States, and about 100 of them die as a result.
Lightning is certainly not something to toy with. When lightning strikes, it’s best to stay inside a large building. To stay safe, do not stand under trees, on hills or near water. Trees attract lightning. Also, do not lie down on the ground, otherwise the electricity may go through you and cause a heart disease.
( )16. Lightning strikes _______.
A. happen three billion times each day
B. will start when there are big fires C. can reach very high temperatures
( )17. What does “surviving” in paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?
A. 目睹 B. 幸存 C. 遇难
( )18. We can infer (推断) from paragraph 3 that _______.
A. lightning between two clouds is the most dangerous for humans
B. lightning strikes create static charge
C. about one tenth of the people struck by lightning die every year in America
( )19. Which expression means “to toy with” in the last paragraph?
A. to play with B. to take seriously C. to take it easy
( )20. Where’s the best place to be when lightning strikes?
A. On top of a hill. B. In a swimming pool. C. Inside.

Vincent Willem Van Gogh (30 March, 1853—29 July, 1890) was a Dutch Post Impressionist artist. He is considered one of the greatest artists with great influence on the 20th century art.
Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a company of art dealers (艺术商). After a brief period as a teacher, he became a missionary (传教士). He did not begin his career as an artist until 1880; however, during the last ten years of his life, he produced more than 2,000 pieces, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches (素描). He worked only with somber colors until he met Impressionism and NeoImpressionism in Paris. Van Gogh used the bright colors and style of painting in a uniquely recognizable style. Most of his best known works were produced during his final two years, when he was suffering from serious mental illness.
In 1890, Van Gogh shot himself in the chest when he was 37. He died two days later, Theo, his brother and his best friend, at his side reported his last words as“The sadness will last forever.” It would not take long before his fame grew higher and higher. Van Gogh’s mother threw away quite a number of his paintings. The only painting he sold during his lifetime, The Red Vineyard, was created in 1888. It is now on display in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia. Several paintings by Van Gogh rank among the most expensive paintings in the world. On March 30, 1987, Van Gogh’s painting Irises was sold for a record of $53.9 million at Southby’s, New York. On May 15, 1990 his Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold for $83.5 million at Christie’s, thus setting a new price record.

27. What were the last words of Van Gogh before he died?
28. Did Van Gogh sell many paintings during his lifetime?
29. Where is The Red Vineyard now?
