21、阅读理解。
A few years ago, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off． The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen． Our engines don’t work． We are going to jump-start them． Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens．”
That was all he said． “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point． I could only laugh nervously． One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet．
The pilot even seemed unhappy． He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did． We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing． We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief．
While I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life．All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed result． But success will never be guaranteed． The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens． If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t． Do not wait until you have everything you need． You never will!
If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding．
If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think． It could be fun!
When traveling, i hope that my pilot has a more detailed plan than “we will see what happens” ． But in life, it is not a bad strategy at all．
【1】What was the pilot’s attitude toward the situation?
A．Disappointed and panicked
B．Surprised and honest
C．Comforting and encouraging
D．Hesitant and weak．
【2】What was the passengers’ reaction when they arrived in Norfolk ?
A．They were thankful and relieved．
B．They cheered for the pilot’s correct operation．
C．They complained that the plane was not safe enough
D．They just walked off the plane as if nothing had happened．
【3】What can we know from the passage?
A．The plane was delayed because of its wheels．
B．The plane arrived at the airport safely．
C．It was a terrible journey for the author．
D．Most of the passengers remained calm on hearing the bad news
【4】What is the main idea of this article ?
A．“we will see what happens” is not a good plan for pilots
B．Try to have everything prepared before you do something
C．When you want to do something, you have to actually do it ．
D．Never stop chasing your goals even if they are certain to fail
22、Exhibition of the week
Charles II : Art & Power
Queen’s Gallery, London SW1 (0303-123 7300, www.royalcollection.org.uk), Until 13 May.
Charles II had the misfortune to be in a time “loaded with a rare tonnage of national botheration”, said Waldemar Januszczak in The Sunday Times. His father Charles, of course, “paid the price for his royalty” when he died in 1649. Arguably Charles II, who regained the throne (王位) in 1660, occupied “an even hotter seat”. He was well aware that he might suffer the same fate as his father. Yet, as this “uplifting” new exhibition at the Queen’s Gallery reveals, Charles was a “brilliant operator who played his moves like a chess grand-master”—and who used art to glorify the monarchy (君主制) and to justify his rule. The exhibition bring together a wealth of paintings, drawings and furniture he inherited or collected over the course of his “remarkably successful reign (统治)”. The result is a “grand” celebration of “a king who brought gaiety back to his nation”.
Art certainly played a “vital” role in establishing the Restoration, said Laura Cumming in the Observer. Prints in the exhibition show Charles “effortlessly” calming a horse or offering his “healing touch to the sick”. The Shropshire oak in which he famously hid from the Round-heads after the Battle of Worcester can be seen again and again. Most “striking” of all is John Michael Wright’s painting, which is so big that the viewer is “just about on kissing level with the royal feet”. But the show has an inherent flaw, said Nancy Durrant in the Times. On climbing up to the throne, Charles found that most of his father’s vast art collection had been sold off by Oliver Cromwell, and he set about securing its return. While this ambitious initiative was “effective” in England, it worked less well in recovering the masterpieces that were sold overseas—and their absence is disappointing once you learn what was lost.
Nevertheless Charles added some marvelous art to the Royal collection, said Jonathan Jones in the Guardian. There are many fine British works in this show—notably Peter Lely’s painting of a royal mistress, Louise de Kerouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth. However, the “drop-dead highlights” of Charles’s collection come from abroad: they include Lorenzo Lotto’s “intensely atmospheric” 1527 portrait of Andrea Odoni, and the hundreds of “amazing” drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, four of which are on show here. What an “absorbing” exhibition this is.
【1】According to the passage, Charles II ________.
A．suffered the same fate as his father, Charles I
B．ruled the nation in an incomparably fierce way
C．was one of the greatest chess players in history
D．started his reign while the nation was in trouble
【2】According paragraph 3, the “inherent flaw” refers to the fact that ________.
A．Charles II brought most of his father’s vast art collections abroad
B．visitors will feel disappointed to see what is on show in the exhibition
C．Oliver Cromwell wasn’t able to recover the masterpieces he once sold
D．the exhibition fails to include some masterpieces sold overseas in history
【3】Which of the following statements is true of the exhibition?
A．It is most famous for its local collections.
B．It shows how art was used to restore the nation.
C．It excludes what Charles II collected in his reign.
D．It includes hundreds of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.
