第3题：
In our comparison-soaked culture, it′s hard to avoid slipping into "Why can′t I" mode. When one of my colleagues (51)__________I think is not better than me published a new book, I couldn′t help (52) __________ (complain) how (53) __________ (achieve) it seemed to me and what bad luck I had. Negative feelings like this made life dark for us. How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring. Here′ s what I learned:
Don′ t compare your insides to someone else′ s outsides.
The first time I heard this excellent advice, I (54)__________(suffer) from terrible envy. My professor′s warning shocked me that "You have no idea what it (55) __________ (take) for them to get there". Don′t just owe it to pure luck. Instead, you should fad out what′s really going on behind the scenes.
She was absolutely right, yet it′s much (56) __________ (easy) to envy what they′ve got than it is to ask the serious question: What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get (57) __________ they are today? When we reflect (58)__________ these questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards.
Transform comparison into celebration.
Admiration and envy are responses pointing us toward what we value most. And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned (59)__________ (create) a richly satisfying life. If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you that wants to be braver.
Use the success of others as a mirror.
Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someone′s success, take a moment to consider: What qualities in them inspire me? Where do I presently display these qualities? Remember the light we see in (60) __________ can help us see our own.
第（53）题答案答案：解析：unachievable。解析：考查seem的用法。seem可用作连系动词，意为“似乎，好像”，可用于“it seems+形容词+to sb．”结构中。根据后一句中的negative feelings可知此处需填入表示消极意义的词，故填 unachievable(难以实现的)。 -

正确答案： A解析：
教授讲座中涉及加拿大艺术的起源以及发展，所以说他主要描述了一个艺术运动的历史，故选择B项。
【听力原文】
The painter Arthur Lismer wrote, “Most creative people, whether in painting, writing or music, began to have a guilty feeling that Canada was as yet unwritten, unpainted, unsung.” According to Lismer, there was a job to be done, and so a generation of artists set out to create a school of painting that would record the Canadian scene and reinforce a distinctive Canadian identity. Calling themselves the Group of Seven, they proclaimed that—quote, “Art must grow and flower in the land before the country will be a real home for its people.”
The Group’s origins date back to the 1911 showing in Toronto of the painting “At the Edge of the Maple Wood” by A.Y. Jackson of Montreal. This painting’s vibrant color and texture made a deep impression on local artists. They persuaded Jackson to come to Toronto and share a studio with them. Jackson began to accompany another painter, Tom Thomson, on sketching trips to Algonquin Park, north of the city.
A patron gave the artists the famous Studio Building in Toronto. It was here that Thomson did some of his finest paintings from sketches made in the wild. Among them was “The Jack Pine,” one of the nation’s best-loved pictures. But then, suddenly and tragically, Thomson died in 1917 drowning in a canoe accident—shocking his fellow painters and Canadian art lovers.
After a 1919 trip to the wilderness, the artists decided to organize an exhibition and to formally call themselves the Group of Seven. The seven founding artists were Jackson, Lismer, Harris, MacDonald, Varley, Johnston, and Carmichael.
Their 1920 exhibition was an important moment in Canadian art. It proclaimed that Canadian art must be inspired by Canada itself. However, the initial response was less than favorable. Several major art critics ignored the show, while others called the paintings crude and barbaric. Yet, when British critics praised the Group’s distinctly Canadian vision, the Canadian public took another look. Later exhibitions drew increasing acceptance for the Group’s work, establishing them as the “national school.” Before long, they were the most influential painters in the country, and several of their paintings have become icons of Canada.
A.Y. Jackson was influential for his analysis of light and shadow. Arthur Lismer’s work has an intensity all its own-particularly his painting of the “Canadian Jungle,” the violently colored forest in the fall. Lawren Harris went further than the rest in simplifying the forms of nature into sculptural shapes, organizing an entire scene into a single, unified image, and eventually into abstraction.
Questions 53 to 55 are based on the passage you have just heard.
53. What is the professor’s point of view concerning the Group of Seven?
54. What can be concluded about the Group of Seven’s style of painting?
55. Which of the following best describes the organization of the lecture? -

单选题What is worth nothing from the example of Athens County is that _____.Agreater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards
B70 percent of the people there have been, employed for two years
C50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare
Dthe living standards of most people are going down
正确答案： B解析：
细节推断题。B项“70%的人就业已达2年”。第二段称70%的脱离福利照顾的人在过去两年里参加了工作，但并没说该郡70%的人参加工作已达2年，故B项有误。C项“50%的人口不再依赖福利政策”，文而章说雅典郡的贫困率在30%以上，为全国贫困率的2倍，显然C项错误。D项“大多数人的生活水平在下降”也与文章不符。A项“为提高人民生活水准尚须做出巨大努力”与第三段“作为穷人的代言人，这表明，尚须做更多的努力”属同义转述。因此，A项为答案。 -

It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers （生产商）follow certain uniform. standards for various features（特征）of clothes. What seems strange , however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s form. the left. Considering most of the word’s population-men and women-are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the
17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hang, having men’s shirts button form. the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hang would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form. the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard , once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned form. the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer women’s shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.
