My parents have always loved everything about India, so a year ago we went on holiday there. It’s a wonderful 21 with beautiful scenes and interesting people. However, I didn’t enjoy Indian 22 very much.

On the second day we planned to see an old palace. At the 23 they said. “If you go by train, it’ll take you only two hours to get there.” However, the hot 24 took over four hours. I was very 25 when we got there, so we had some rice and vegetables with bread in a small restaurant. We were 26 to find it was quite nice. I wasn’t full up though and I saw a man nearby eating some little meatballs.

I said to my dad, “I’ve been eating rice all week. Can I have some meatballs please?”

Well, they looked delicious so I ate the first one very 27 . I was just putting the second one in my mouth when I felt myself 28 —my mouth was on fire! I started to cough（咳嗽）and there were tears (泪水)in my eyes. I couldn’t 29 how spicy (辛辣的) it was!

（A）

If you plan to take your pet on a trip，prepare ahead of time. At least two weeks before you leave，take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is fit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet. Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of

Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries， check with their consulates (领事馆).You can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.

Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.

If you are going by plane or train，ask if pets are allowed. If they are，ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.

Choose your pet’s box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can' be chewed(嚼碎).

If going by plane or train during warm weather，try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid (避免)very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from cold. Even in your own car， be careful. Do not leave the animal inside with the windows closed because the car may become too hot or too cold.

What do you see when you look at abstract(抽象) art？Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to?

Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt (雕刻) things exactly like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.

Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist(立体画派)” because they are made of painted squares.

After a long time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original (独创的) that many of his fellow (同事) artists didn’t understand it.

Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.

Other artists like the surrealists(超现实主义者), were interested in subconscious(潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that look like dreams.

There are still many abstract artists around the world. It’s often hard to say exactly what their art is about. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

38. Which of the following is supposed to be most like abstract art? A. A painting of a house.

B. A sculpture of a car.

C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house. D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject. 39. Who is probably the most famous abstract artist? A. Picasso.

B. Breton.

C. Dali.

D. Magritte.

40. Kandinsky express feelings ________________________. A. by using colours and shapes

B. by painting realistic people D. by painting in red and pink colours

C. by painting with a lot of symbols

41. According to the passage, which is NOT true? A. Picasso painted in many different styles.

B. Dali was interested in painting pictures like dreams. C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning. D. Magritte’s art was full of symbols.
