21、   In George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion,the storyline centers around three main characters:Eliza Doolittle,Professor Henry Higgins,and Colonel Pickering.Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl who is under the instruction of Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering to learn proper grammar and phonetics.Eliza can be characterized as a very sensitive（敏感的）and emotional person.She seeks to be treated like a duchess by men.Her personality clashes（冲突）with the personality of Professor Higgins in an extreme way.Professor Higgins is an arrogant（傲慢的）,work-obsessed expert in phonetics who views Eliza simply as an experiment.He is a bachelor who has never found a place for women in his life due to his obsession（痴迷）with language.Colonel Pickering is a gentleman from India who is also an expert in language.He is gentler than Higgins and treats Eliza with respect while maintaining a professional interest in her.These three characters make up the main action of the play as Eliza learns speech of the upper class from them.She manages to pass herself off as a Hungarian princess at a formal party.This achievement makes Eliza give credence to the efforts of Higgins and Pickering.After experiencing life in the upper class,Eliza settles for a lower-class life with a man who loves her for who she is and wants to marry her.After some small and unimportant disputes,Eliza and Higgins remain friends later.Other memorable characters include Mrs Higgins who maintains an authoritative（权威的）figure over her grown son and Mr Doolittle who rises from a dustman to a respected speaker in the community.

22、When Millet was a boy he worked on his needy father’s farm. At the rest hour in the fields the other workers would all take naps, but young Millet would spend time drawing. Finally, the village where he lived gave him a little money to Paris to study art.

When Millet reached Paris, he had a tough time. Fortunately, when he was almost starving, someone bought one of his peasant paintings, which enabled his family to leave for Barbizon.

Millet’s pictures of peasants at work were painted in a unique way. The painter would go out on the farms and watch them carefully — digging, hoeing, spreading manure, sawing wood, or sowing grain. Then he would come home and paint what he had seen. So astonishingly accurate was his memory that he could paint at home without models and get all the movements of his figures right. When he did need a figure to go by, he would ask his wife to pose for him.

One of his noted artworks is called “The Sower”, which shows a man seeding. He reaches into his bag for seed and then swings backward to scatter the seed, and with each swing of his hand the sower strides forward. In Millet’s picture the sower has been working hard, but his swinging step and arm still move smoothly, like a machine. Only the man’s head reveals his great tiredness.

Another masterpiece is called “The Gleaners”. A gleaner is someone picking up the leftover in the field after the wheat harvest. When farmers near Barbizon are extremely badly-off, even the little the gleaners can find is a help. You can see from Millet’s picture what back-breaking work gleaning must be.

【1】What do we know about Millet?

A．His wife supported him to be a painter.

B．He was keen on painting as a kid.

C．He spent his whole life in Barbizon.

D．He was brought up in Paris.

【2】How did he paint the laboring farmers?

A．Asking models for help.

B．Imagining figures in the field.

C．Remembering what he had observed

D．Recalling the days on his father’s farm.

【3】What do Millet’s works convey?

A．The farmers’ hardships.

B．The scene of farming.

C．His love for the village.

D．His anxiety about the farmers.

【4】Which is the text most likely to be taken from?

A．A short-story collection

B．A personal diary

C．A magazine of art

D．A science magazine

23、Greece’s finance minister says his country’s financial situation is “terribly urgent” and the crisis could come to a head in a couple of weeks. Yanis Varoufakis gave the warning after eurozone finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss the final €7.2bn tranche(援助资金) of Greece’s €240bn EU/IMF bailout(紧急援助).

Ministers said Greece had made “progress” but more work was needed.

The Greek government is struggling to meet its payment obligations（责任）.Earlier, Greece began the transfer of €750m (£544m, $834m) in debt interest to the International Monetary Fund - a day ahead of a payment deadline.

“The liquidity（资产流动性） issue is a terribly urgent issue. It’s common knowledge, let’s not beat around the bush,” Mr Varoufakis told reporters in Brussels. “From the perspective of timing, we are talking about the next couple of weeks.”

Greece has until the end of June to reach a reform deal with its international creditors. Its finances are running so low that it has had to ask public bodies for help. The crisis has raised the prospect that Greece might default（违约） on its debts and leave the euro.

In a statement, the eurozone finance ministers said they “welcomed the progress that has been achieved so far” in the negotiations,” but added: “We acknowledged that more time and effort are needed to bridge the gaps on the remaining open issues.” Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said there had to be a full deal on the bailout（紧急财务援助） before Greece received any further payments. “There are time constraints(限制；约束) and liquidity constraints and hopefully we will reach an agreement before time runs out and before money runs out.” he said.

There had been fears that Greece would default on its IMF debt repayment due on Tuesday. However, a Greek finance ministry official was quoted as saying that the order for repayment had been executed（实施） on Monday. Almost €1bn has been handed over to the IMF in interest payments since the start of May.

It is unclear how the government came up with the funds, but the mayor of Greece’s second city Thessaloniki revealed last week that he had handed over cash reserves in response to an appeal for money.

【1】What is Yanis Varoufakis?

A. He is Greece’s finance minister.

B. He is an expert in the eurozone.

C. An official of the International Monetary Fund.

D. He is Eurogroup chairman.

【2】Which of the following could be the worst result if Greece defaulted on its debts?

A. The International Monetary Fund would cancel the debt of Greece.

B. The EU would help Greece rebuild its financial system.

C. Greece might have to leave the eurozone.

D. The eurozone would accept Greece.

【3】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. The EU Get Challenged.

B. The International Monetary Fund Reform.

C. The EU Face Economic Crisis.

D. Greece Two Weeks from Cash Crisis

【4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. People fear that the International Monetary Fund can’t pay Greece for debt repayment.

B. Greece succeeded in paying interest payments to the IMF.

C. It is unclear how the government came up with the funds.

D. The mayor of Greece’s third city handed over cash reserves in response to an appeal for money.
