听力原文： Rembrandt, one of the greatest artists of all time, was born in Leyden in the Netherlands. Many artists traveled to faraway lands. Rembrandt always stayed within 50 miles of his home, although he lived to be 63.
Much of his life was spent in Amsterdam, then the richest town in Europe. In some of Rembrandt's paintings we see the rich clothes and jewels worn by people of that time in Amsterdam.
During the first ten years of his career he was a famous and fashionable painter. Then something happened, which ruined him. He became so poor that he had to sell all his furniture and even his rich velvet clothes. To make matters worse, his wealthy wife died, and her parents took the money she had left to him.
The following incident ruined the sale of his paintings: the Amsterdam Civic Guard had paid him to paint a picture of them. Since he liked light and shadow, he painted the men as they were leaving the armory at noon to go on duty. The men still inside were in such deep shadow that their faces could not be recognized. These men were very angry. The men in the sunlight of course showed well. But their satisfaction did not make up for the anger of others. The picture is one of Rembrandt's best. It is called "The Night Watch", although it was painted at noon.
What sort of painter was Rembrandt at the beginning of his career？
A．A poor, starving artist.
B．A modern, radical artist.
C．A famous, fashionable artist.
D．A royal painter.
One of the richest men in Australia owed some of his success to his courage in facing a shark. When he was an unemployed youth in 1922, Frank Beaurepaire saw a young man being attacked by a shark off a Sydney beach. He saw a lifesaver swim out to help the young man but realized that the lifesaver could not fight off the shark and rescue the injured man at the same time. Although he was not an expert swimmer, he dived into the water and helped the lifesaver to bring the injured man to the beach.
Unfortunately the shark had attacked so viciously that its victim soon died. However, the public heard about the rescue and collected a large sum of money for the rescuers. Frank Beaurepaire received $ 500 and started a small motor-tyre business. He worked hard and soon became prosperous. By the time the Second World War started he was a millionaire.
This passage is mainly about ______.
A．sharks in the southeast Australia
B．precautions against sharks
C．how a man became rich due to his bravery
D．the victims of sharks
The Now Rich and the Old Rich
Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at least 25 percent of the nation’s wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”—families that have been wealthy for several generations and aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockfellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion (深居简出), drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may he wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled(急于做)to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.
However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind — all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on foreign relations, and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions.
All the following statements are true except that______.
A．the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origin
B．the “old rich” enjoy higher prestige than the “new rich”
C．the “old rich” isolate themselves and lead a lonely life
D．the upper class owns at least a quarter of the country’s wealth
A. bitter
B. bitterly
C. delicious
D. deliciously

Diogenes was the founder of the creed called Cynicism (the word means "doggishness"); he spent much of his life in the rich, lazy, corrupt Greek city of Corinth, mocking and satirizing its people, and occasionally converting one of them. He was not crazy. He was a philosopher who wrote plays and poems and essays expounding his doctrine; he talked to those who cared to listen; he had pupils who admired him. But he taught chiefly by example. All should live naturally, he said, for what is natural is normal and cannot possibly be evil or shameful. Live without conventions, which are artificial and false; escape complexities and superfluities and extravagance; only so can you live a free life. The rich man believes he possesses his big house with its many rooms and its elaborate furniture, his pictures and his expensive clothes, his horses and his servants and his bank accounts. He does not. He depends on them, he worries about them, he spends most of his life's energy looking after them; the thought of losing them makes him sick with anxiety. They possess him. He is their slave. In order to procure a quantity of false, perishable goods he has sold the only true, lasting good, his own independence.
Diogenes thought most people were only half-alive, most men only half-men. At bright noonday he walked through the market place carrying a lighted lamp and inspecting the face of everyone he met. They asked him why. Diogenes answered, "I am trying to find a man."
To a gentleman whose servant was putting on his shoes for him, Diogenes said, "You won't be really happy until he wipes your nose for you; that will come after you lose the use of your hands."
And so he lived—like a dog, some said, because he cared nothing for privacy and other human conventions, and because he showed his teeth and barked at those whom he disliked. Now he was lying in the sunlight, as contented as a dog on the warm ground, happier than the Shah of Persia. Although he knew he was going to have an important visitor, he would not move.
According to the passage which one of the following is in accord with Diogenes's philosophy？
A．We should lead a lazy and idle life.
B．People should live a natural and simple life.
C．We'd better enjoy a luxurious life.
D．We should make an easy living just like a dog.
36-40 The following is an essay entitled “Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven”, but with scrambled paragraphs. Go over it and decide upon the correct order of the paragraphs to compose an effective essay. A. These three composers had some differences in their musical education. Haydn was born in an ordinary farmhouse, liked to sing songs with his parents, and mimic playing the violin. His father wanted him to be a musician. So he entered music school at age six. Like Haydn, Mozart's family was also musical. His father was a good violinist. At an early age, Mozart could remember tunes and recognize easy chords on the harpsichord. But unlike Haydn, who went to school at an early age, Mozart started composing at age five and performing at age six. Although Beethoven was also born into a musical family, his music education began later in his childhood. A chapel organist taught him to play the organ, and he became a cymbalist in a theater orchestra at age twelve. B. In conclusion, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven had different musical educations, working styles and achievements. Their lives, their compositions, and their greatness came out of all these features, and they used their talents faithfully to become three of the most admired composers of all time. C. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven were the greatest composers of their age. They knew each other. In fact, Haydn influenced Mozart’s music, and he was one of Beethoven's teachers. Even though they were associated with each other, they had their own lives. Mozart died earlier than the other two, and Beethoven was deaf. Therefore, it is interesting to compare their musical educations, working styles, and achievements. D. The achievements of these three composers were also different. Although they all composed instrumental music, Haydn tried to use different instruments together to make rich sounds. He was also the founder of secular music, because he was interested in different people's songs and dances. Mozart’s musical emphasis was different from Haydn’s. He wrote music for symphonies, concertos, and string quartets. He also developed sacred music. Beethoven, however, worked to join the intellectual part of music with the emotions. To do this, he changed the traditional use of the instruments and enlarged their scaled. E. Their working styles were more different than their education. Haydn liked a calm, quiet place to work, and he always wore neat, clean clothes while he was composing. In contrast, Mozart did not care where he composed. According to Konard (1992), “He was able to jot down whatever works he liked, whenever he liked, wherever he happened to be". He even composed while he was playing billiards. Beethoven's style was not like Haydn’s or Mozart’s. Beethoven was only able to compose when he strong emotions. Sometimes these moments happened even when he was taking a walk. 段落按照排序依次填入：36.____ 37.____ 38.____ 39.____ 40.____ 现在请填写第36题答案。（填一个大写字母即可）
