第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
This year marks the 170th anniversary of Paul Gauguin’s birth. He lived for just 54 years but he packed his brief life with activity.
The French painter spent his early childhood in Peru before returning to France. As an adult, he continued to travel a lot. Most famously, he spent much of the last decade of his life in Tahiti, an island in southern Pacific Ocean. Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of Tahitians and their culture.
The restlessness of this great painter has been normal among modern artists since the middle of the 19th century. They’re never satisfied for long with a certain style or way of life. Once something becomes conventional, it’s turned down.
The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism (印象派). Painters like Claude Monet had wanted to paint how they saw the world, not how their teachers taught them it should be seen. Gauguin, and similar artists like his friend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further away from “respectable” art than the Impressionists. For them, it was not simply a matter of seeing the world differently, but feeling and thinking about it differently, too.
Gauguin saw, felt and thought differently from most members of European society. He thought that European culture was too fancy and not spontaneous. This is why he turned to the traditions of other parts of the world, like Africa, and, eventually, Tahiti. Artists like Gauguin used the word “primitive” for these cultures, but not as a negative term. For him, Europe, in becoming modem, industrial and scientific, seemed less natural than other parts of the world.
In truth, Gauguin’s paintings may be unconventional but they are certainly not “primitive”. They are the work of a painter with great awareness of what he was doing. It was this awareness that made him such an important painter for those that came after, in the 20th century. When we look closely at the works of Gauguin we begin to understand Pablo Picasso, and especially Henri Matisse, a little better.
1、What can we infer about Gauguin’s life?
A．He had an unhappy childhood. B．He lived most of his life in Peru.
C．He enjoyed painting in Tahiti. D．He preferred a traditional life style.
2、What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 4?
A．To explain why Gauguin’s works were popular.
B．To point out where Gauguin’s inspiration came from.
C．To show Gauguin’s different understanding of painting.
D．To compare Gauguin’s painting style with Vincent van Gogh’s.
3、Which of the following best explains “spontaneous” underlined in Paragraph 5?
A．Natural. B．Modern. C．Industrial. D．Scientific.
4、The author mentions Picasso and Matisse in the last paragraph to show ________.
A．their styles are different from Gauguin’s B．great artists share many similarities
C．they are as important as Gauguin D．Gauguin’s influence on their works

B
Matthew Layton was 20 minutes from home in Sevierville, Tennessee, on a cold November night in 2016 when he got a cell phone call from his mother. “The mountain’s on fire,” she screamed, “and Brian’s up there!”
Layton’s family owned a dozen rental cabins(小屋) on Shields Mountain, and Layton’s friend and fellow rental-cabin owner, Brian McGee, age 56, was up there trying to put the fire out by himself. Layton, 32, hit the gas. He lived on the mountain too.
Layton turned around and headed for a dirt road. He made it about halfway up the steep, winding path before his front-wheel-drive car gave up. He called McGee, who drove down in his pickup so they could fight the fire together.
They headed first to Layton’s rental cabins. “I wanted to make sure our guests were gone. They were,” says Layton. At that point, he had a choice: try to save his cabins or rescue people renting other cabins nearby. “On the mountain, you don’t have many locals. They’re mostly tourists who don’t know their way around,” he says.
Over the next two hours, the two friends drove through the smoky mountain, knocking on doors and leading panicked people to safety. “I know that mountain so well,” Layton says, “I could drive and know exactly where I am just by time traveled.” Thanks to their brave and immediate action, the two helped 14 people out of the danger.
Fourteen people died that night in Sevier County. But the fire didn’t take away a single life on Shields Mountain. And though his home and business were destroyed, Layton remains calm. “I wasn’t worried about my loss, not when I saw those families trapped on the mountain,” he says, “I knew I was gonna help them.”
1、Where was Layton when the fire broke out?
A．Visiting his mother. B．Away from his home.
C．Heading for the cabins. D．Driving on a dirt road.
2、What can we learn from Para. 2 & 3?
A．Layton’s car broke down halfway. B．Brian was in charge of Layton’s cabins.
C．Layton picked up Brian on the path. D．Brian lived in the mountain alone.
3、Why could the two friends rescue the people?
A．They put out the fire before it spread. B．They turned to locals for help.
C．Layton was familiar with the area. D．Brian gave up his own cabins.
4、What did Layton mean in the last paragraph?
A．He blamed himself. B．He suffered a lot.
C．He felt sorry. D．He was relieved.
