Could Buying Paintings Make You Rich?

Is investing in paintings a good way to get rich fast? And how should you invest in art?

“With extreme 41 ” is the advice of Patrick Connolly, a financial adviser. “We don’t

42 our customers to invest in art because the downsides are greater than the upsides. It doesn't produce income or earnings. What you 43 is exclusively based on supply and demand, and there are big movements upwards or downwards if there are changes in the economic environment,” he said.

To invest in art as a true investment, you need a starting fund of at least $5,000. But it’s not just about having enough 44 to buy the painting in the first place. Expensive works of art are often stored in protective boxes complete with detectors to monitor humidity and temperature levels, and to protect them from sun damage or other 45 such as a spilled cup of coffee. And if you do put it on your wall, then your insurance costs are likely to be high. If word gets out that you have expensive art hanging on your wall, then you're likely to be a 46 for thieves.

Art is also not a regulated investment so when things go wrong – for example, an artwork turns out to be a fraud（赝品）– then investors cannot fall back on 47 for any repayment.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.

( A )

Post-00s is a documentary about growing up. It covers almost every aspect of millennials’experiences on their path toward adolescence – their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.

Post-00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids from when they were infants through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “characters” grow older for real, and their stories are all real.

“Coming-of-age” stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we tru ly know them. And while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re-writing of the script（剧本）and there’s no turning back – this is real life.

This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr –played by US actor Ellar Coltrane – from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.

spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video games.

While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the surface and see something extraordinary – the power of life itself.

56. In the documentary, we see post-00’s growing experie nce EXCEPT __________.

A. how they deal with their studies

B. how they help look after brothers or sisters

C. how they get along with people of their age

D. how much they long to be independent of their parents

57. What do Post-00 and Boyhood have in common?

A. They’re intended to win an award for best director.

B. The heroes and heroines are characters themselves.

C. They’re a kind of reality show of ordinary kids’ growth.

D. The stories are based on true life but polished by writers.

58. Audience are interested in “coming-of-age” stories because __________.

A. they can see the truth of life

B. they know the characters well

C. they are much fond of gossip

D. they appreciate stories of daily life

59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Post-00s are different geniuses

B. Actors are ordinary characters

C. Documentary is real life

D. Life is one big story

①Australians have long been known for having a relaxed and casual attitude to life. According to Dr Tanya King, senior lecturer from Victoria’s Deakin University, “It’s Australians’ egalitarianism, sense of humor and informal language that are most commonly mentioned as examples of this attitude”.

②Egalitari anism roots in the way that the nation was built. In Australia’s founding era in the late 1700s, criminal settlers were often cruelly treated and robbed of their basic human rights by governors. The criminal class, who were mostly working-class Brits and Irish, was unable to seek civic positions that were reserved for immigrants who were not the criminal, with the latter arguing that if criminals gained equal rights it would be ‘rewarding criminality’. Because of this, an egalitarian spirit was worn as a sy mbol of honor by many criminal settlers. They may not have had power, education or wealth, but they had a shared belief in equality.

③The informal way Australians use language is also believed to root in criminal times. Philologist Sidney Baker once wrote that ‘no other class would have a better talent for creating new terms to fit in with their new conditions in life’. Cockney rhyming slang brought over by the British working class was abbreviated even further –so ‘have a Captains Cook’ (have a look), became ‘ava captains’. This same practice was used to economize ordinary clauses. Words like ‘good day’ became ‘g’day’, and barbecue was ‘barbie’.

④The tough conditions of settler times also played a part in Australians’ dry, self-criticizing and sarcastic（讽

Australians tend to look at the lighter side. On one road trip, as I hit the state line and entered Victoria, I drove past some blackened trees, the leftovers of a recent bushfire. A road sign warning drivers about wildlife was half-melted and bent, but the shape of a hopping kangaroo was still distinct. Behind the figure, someone had drawn flames making it look as though the animal’s tail was on fire. I couldn’t help but laugh – it was a brilliant reminder of the country’s ‘nothing upsets us’ and anti-authoritarian attitude.

⑤And one thing you can’t help but notice when driving around Australia is the country’s plentiful amounts of space. This, a long with considerable leisure time plus favorable climate, all contribute to Australians’ relaxed attitude.

63. The underlined word “egalitarianism” is closest to __________ in meaning.

A. criminality

B. cruelty

C. equality

D. governmentalism

64. Which of the following is a feature of the way Australians use language?

A. They use more slangs than other people.

B. They give new meanings to existent words.

C. They favour shortened forms of expressions.

D. They coin terms in memory of criminal times.

65. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A. Kangaroos’ living condition s are getting tougher.

B. Forest fires threaten Australian s’ life to a great extent.

C. Potential danger is here and there on the roads in Victoria.

D. Australians’ jokes may not be as careless as they seem on the surface.

66. The passage mainly talks about __________.

A. how the late 1700s impacted Australia

B. why Australians enjoy casual life so much

C. what contributes to Australians’ relaxed lifestyle

D. how Australians present their attitude towards life

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can

believe the money they invest in higher wages will pay off in increased sales and customer satisfaction. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that. 68

Also last week, Wal-Mart found itself at the center of the wages gossip when it was reported that the company was looking at supporting an increase in the minimum wage. 69

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said the company remains neutral on the idea of a minimum wage increase, but “obviously it’s something that we look at closely,as any other company would”. She said that more than 99 percent of company associates are paid above the current minimum wage. It has been discussed how increased income for low-wage workers might translate into increased spending. So it’s reasonable to say that a company like Wal-Mart could see a jump in sales if the minimum wage rose. 70 “That is assuming that consumer behavior would be, ‘I f they have more money, they’ll spend more money,’” she said. “That isn’t always necessarily true. If we had a crystal ball, we could guess what consumer behavior would be in the future if a minimum wage increase goes through. But you just can’t.”

IV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Are Open Offices Good for Us?

Four years ago, Chris Nagele did what many other technology executives have done before –moved his team into an open concept office. His staff had been entirely working from home, but he wanted everyone to be together, to connect and cooperate more easily. It quickly became clear, though, that Nagele had made a huge mistake. Everyone was distracted and productivity suffered and nine employees were unhappy, not to mention Nagele himself. About three years after moving into the open office, Nagele moved the company into a 10,000-square foot office where everyone now has their own space — complete with closing doors.

Numerous companies have held the open office — about 70% of US offices are open concept — and very few have moved back into traditional spaces with offices and doors. But research that we’re 15% less productive, we have huge trouble concentrating in open working spaces, has contributed to a growing criticism against open offices.

Beside the cheaper cost, one main argument for the open workspace is that it increases teamwork. However, it’s well documented that we rarely brainstorm brilliant ideas when we’re just shooting the breeze in a crowd. Instead, as many of us know, we’re more likely to hear about the Christmas gift a colleague is buying for a family member, or problems with your deskmate’s spouse.

For jobs that require focus, like writing, advertising, financial planning and computer programming, some companies that aren’t ready to abandon open plans are experimenting with quiet and closed spaces. The trouble with that, is some of us don’t feel comfortable leaving the team to go off on our own—it can feel as if we’re not pulling our weight if we’re not present. That’s particularly true in high-pressure environments. Some of us even feel that escaping to a quiet room is a sign of weakness.

My new year’s resolution for 2017 was that I should be able to c ommunicate with foreign people in English. To achieve this goal, I had asked my English teacher for help. According to her suggestions, I made up a plan.

Firstly, I started with simply reading English articles and found many pronunciation errors in my reading after listening to the video tape of its recording. Then, I tried to learn phonetics and practice one syllable after another again and again. I started with a single word, then a phrase, a sentence, a paragraph and finally the whole passage. After 3-month practice, I was able to read an article fluently without making any mistakes in pronunciation. I felt happy. Next, I practiced my listening. By listening to a passage four times, I required myself to take it down without spelling errors or any information blank. Last but not least, I installed an app called Shanbei Oral English on my phone to practice both my listening and speaking. It’s like having conversations with a robot. I had to understand what it said to me and answer its questions accordingly. After practicing for almost 8 months, I had my first talking session with an American teacher in our school. I was proud of myself.

What I have learnt from this experience is something as a saying goes: no pain no gain. Though the process

valuable part of my life.

The wonderful year of 2017 is drawing to an end. I remember that I set an annual goal to keep fit at the beginning of 2017, since staying healthy is crucial to ensuring my study, thus better prepare myself for Gaokao.

To achieve my goal of keeping fit, here are some efforts I’ve taken throughout the year. On the very first day of 2017, I downloaded a fitness app called Keep. Following the fitness instructions the app offered, I exercised every other night before I go to bed. Also, I did some research into the daily nutrition I need in order to stay healthy both physically and mentally, after which I devised a mode rate dieting plan. Apart from the above, I’ve invited family members and friends to join me so that we can encourage each other and exchange fitness experience.

So far, the record shown on my fitness app shows that I’ve done well this year, reaching a reco rd high of 200 training times in total. Although at times I felt like giving up because of too much study pressure and limited time, I’m glad I have stuck to my plan. It seems to me that anything is possible if I throw in all of my energy and passion, and most of all, perseverance. Some rules apply to study. So I hope I will keep such passion and strength to do my best in the coming 2018. （237 words）

Greeting from the end of 2017! It’s now the time to conclude our yearly goals again. On the new year’s eve, I set up two goals for the year: to getter better grades and to lose weight and I’m proud to announce that I’ve accomplished the first one.

To realize the goals, much effort has been put in throughout the year. First of all, I changed my attitudes towards various subjects. I’ve spent more time on them, as you might already know, and try to find my own strength and weaknesses and strived hard to overcome my weak points. In addition, I’ve found my own pace of studying, which I regard as the most precious reward of this year’s effort. Secondly, I began to take a more active part in sports this year. I took every opportunity I have to exercise, and take sports lessons at a gym near my apartment. Though I haven’t lose much weight, I feel myself much healthier than ever before.

To conclude how I’ve made these progress, here comes my years motto: no pains, no gains. No matter how hard it might be, stick to the goal and never quit, and never dream of shortcuts to success. So if you want to achieve something, just try hard, no matter what the result might be, you’re surely going to benefit from the process. Good luck everyone, and I wish you a happy, successful new year in 2018! (241 words)

1，有读者意识，明确知晓是在朋友圈发的年度总结，所以开头结尾很应景。

2，段落结构总体比较清晰，符合作文题目要求。

1）第一段告知了自己的两个年度目标。

建议可以更加清晰化具体化（改变的行为不具体是因为目标不具体导致的）；特别是第二点，如果学生把目标定位，今年我要参加多少节健身课，或者我要完成多少公里的跑步，那么行为可以更具体，对是否可以达到自己年度目标的检测也可以更明确。

3）第三段的经验总结与之前努力的匹配度不高。如果要写no pains, no gains，那么第二段里应该有具体的自己在遭遇瓶颈或者难以坚持的时候是如何咬牙坚持下来的。

4）Good luck建议可以另起一段。

3，文本字数偏长。

7+6+3=16

At the beginning of this year, I have made up my mind to achieve a goal. That was I hoped that I could lose my weight. With the passing by, I have achieved my goal. The following are some of my conclusion of this objective.

To reach my objective, I worked out a series of plans. To begin with, I designed a healthy diet menu, which excluded unhealthy foods that I was fond of before. That’s the basic of losing weight. Secondly, I went to park or sporting places regularly to do various sports. As we all know, the more exercise you do, the more heats you will consume. Last but not least, I took an active part in every kinds of school activity which can not only help me lose weight but also enrich my life.

From this experience, I conclude that once you have a goal, you should stick to every hardship so that you may reach the mountain top. The process may be full of difficulties and you are likely want to give up. Go ahead, and then you will find there is nothing can hit down you. (191 words)

My mother always encourage me to study math when it comes to the problem of math. I always feel nervous, because I think it is very difficult for me to study math well. But being encouraged by the parents and teacher I have confidence. Finally, I realized it.

The year of 2017 will be over. I always think it is a year with my ambition. I still rember the day which is the first of 2017. On that day I praied I could get higher scores in the test. I made my plan to get close to the top of the rank.

For the sake of good marks, what I must have is a serious attitude. It was the most important things for me to insist the plan. I decided to read books of English. It was the most difficult subject for me. I recited the words and vocabulary day by day. And the reading is an another problem. Because of the lack of vocabulary I couldn't understand the passage clearly. I started reading the English lessons in every morning. That’s good day for me that I could never forget.

Although I still not get my plan, I still want to get higher score in next exam. It was my ambition, I believe I can do it next year. Even though the life is tough to me. (179 words)

M: I am so relieved. I just finished the story I was working on for our creative writing course.

W: I haven’t quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting past the beginning.

M: How come?

W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn’t write any more.

M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.

W: Well, Professor Wilson said it’s pretty common for writers to get stuck like that.

M: You went to talk to her about it?

W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about how to pull myself out of the situation like that. She said that first thing I should do is just write anything that c omes into my head even if it doesn’t make any sense, sort of warm up exercise.

M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shifted to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.

W: Well, her methods seem to have worked for me. I’ve written most of the story, and should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need to go to the jewelry store.

M: You’re going shopping? Can’t you wait until you finish your story?

W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery, so I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.

Thailand’s annual university admissions tests are taking place this week. Tens of thousands of students are trying to give the right answers to math and language questions. High scores permit students to enter the top schools. However, these tests will not be in place for much longer. The current examinations require that students memorize facts in high school classes. They do not test critical thinking or creative problem solving abilities. The Ministry of Education wants to encourage young people to innovate. So, it will begin a new selection process for university students. They hope the best schools will start to accept people with new business ideas.

The ministry’s deputy director for higher education told VOA the new exam system will look for people interested in invention or starting businesses.

Questions 18 through 20 are based on the following passage.

As more and more people lose their jobs, now is perhaps the time to consider the experience of unemployment. What are the first feelings? Well, losing a job, or not being able to find one, almost always brings unwelcome changes. As well as the loss of income, many people find the whole routine of their life is destroyed, their contact with other people reduced, their ambitions broken, their identity as a worker removed.

At first there may be good feelings too – a new and better job is just around the corner – it is nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children. But, unless a better job does turn up, the chances are the days start getting longer and time becomes harder to fill. Many people pass through periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel ill-tempered and depressed, often isolated and lonely.

Despite all these problems though, unemployment can be a fresh start. You can discover that it provides an opportunity to sort out or rethink what you want from life and how best you can get it. You can use the time to plan how to find a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies or see if you can run your own business.

18. What negative change may unemployment bring to people?

19. What is not the probable reaction when people cannot find a job for a long time?

20. In what way does unemployment do good to people?
