课时分层作业(十五) Ⅰ．阅读理解 A Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years．His hard work paid off later．In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists．It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi．Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color． After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu．He has since published a series of art collections．Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites．Yu's works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions．From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York．Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years． While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature．Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush．Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings．” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork． Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style．In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China．“Art is part of my life，” Yu says．“I am proud to be a flower-bird painter．I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts．” 1．What does the underlined word “zeal” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Request． B．Passion． C．Justice． D．Fund． 2．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Yu? A．His school life． B．His painting techniques． C．His achievements in painting． D．His contributions to the art school． 3．Which is Yu's painting feature? A．Adopting abstract objects． B．Excluding plants and animals． C．Combining traditional rules with a realistic style． D．Representing the imbalance between nature and humans． 4．What does Yu expect of his painting style? A．It will be passed on． B．It will change over time． C．It will look more complicated． D．It will reach the top international level． B The typical image of a knitter may be a white-haired lady but in the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots used needles as they waited for their next mission．Wartime pilots crashed a lot and knitting helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs and meanwhile settle wounded minds．They were the basis of early occupational therapy． Today, millions of people around the world employ the same technique．Occupational therapist Jill Riley was part of a team from Cardiff University that surveyed more than 3，500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt．As one person surveyed put it, “That rhythm of making stitch (针脚) after stitch is like deep breathing．It's a flow where you don't have to stress about it and you've got the rhythm happening．” “Flow” is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi．As he wrote in his book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, the best moments in our lives are not the passive or relaxing times．The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile．An artist, Shauna Richardson, knows just how true this is．The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she knitted three seven-metre-long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad．To complete the task, she says she had to concentrate all her attention and keep a state of mind driven by rhythm and process． Csikszentmihalyi also describes the opposite to flow．He points out that although people are healthier and live longer, they often end up feeling anxious and bored and cut off from satisfying work．Because knitting is so accessible — at its heart it's two sticks and one stitch—it helps people build confidence in their abilities．After all, if you make a mistake, you can just pull it all out and start again． 5．Why does the author mention “a white-haired lady” in paragraph 1? A．To introduce the topic． B．To make a comparison． C．To prove the writer's opinion． D．To give an example． 6．According to the passage, how does “occupational therapy” help people? A．Filling their free time by doing handwork． B．Improving their bodies and minds by knitting． C．Reducing their stress by breathing deeply． D．Perfecting their skills by completing a task． 7．How do people feel in a state of flow? A．Anxious． B．Relaxed． C．Bored． D．Focused． 8．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Active Hands, Calm Minds B．Knitting: An Easy Skill to Learn C．Slower Rhythm, Greater Confidence D．Flow: The Best Moments to Enjoy Ⅱ．应用文写作 假定你是高二学生李华，想应聘学校英语报的记者兼编辑。请根据下面的个人情况写一封80词左右的求职信。 年龄：17 性别：女 获奖情况：学校英语演讲比赛一等奖 经历：主持过校英语歌唱比赛 联系方式：Lihua 2020@ 163．com 注意：开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear editor， I am Li Hua，a 17-year-old girl from Senior 2．____________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ I am looking forward to hearing from you． Yours， Li Hua 4/4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 课时分层作业(十五) Ⅰ． 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 B C C A A B D A Ⅱ．【参考范文】　 Dear editor， I am Li Hua，a 17­year­old girl from Senior 2．I am writing to recommend myself as the reporter and editor for our school English newspaper． As an outgoing girl full of energy，I like all kinds of meaningful activities and won first prize in our school English speaking competition，which has built up my confidence in learning English well．Besides，I have hosted several English singing competitions in our school． I would like to be a member of our school English newspaper and make friends with many other students．I can be reached anytime via email at Lihua 2020 @163．com． I am looking forward to hearing from you． Yours， Li Hua Ⅰ．【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了国画大师喻继高。 1．B　[词义猜测题。根据上文的语境和强调句型可知，此处是指就在学习绘画理论和技巧时，喻继高发现了他对工笔画一生的艺术热情。故推测，zeal意为“热情”。故选B。] 2．C　[段落大意题。根据第二段可知，本段主要讲述了喻继高在绘画方面的艺术成就。故选C。] 3．C　[细节理解题。根据第三段可知，喻继高的绘画风格结合了传统的规则和现实主义风格。故选C。] 4．A　[推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China．‘Art is part of my life，’ Yu says．‘I am proud to be a flower­bird painter．I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts．’”可推知，喻继高希望他的绘画风格被传承下去。故选A。] 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了编织是职业疗法的基础，能使人们感到平静。 5．A　[推理判断题。根据第一段可推知，作者在第一段提到“白发苍苍的女士”是为了引起下文，即编织有助于重建受伤肢体的灵活性，同时安抚受伤的心灵，故选A。] 6．B　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Occupational therapist Jill Riley was part of a team from Cardiff University that surveyed more than 3，500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt．”和第三段可推知，“职业疗法”通过编织帮助人们改善身心。故选B。] 7．D　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she knitted three seven­metre­long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad．To complete the task, she says she had to concentrate all her attention and keep a state of mind driven by rhythm and process．”可知，人们在流畅的状态中注意力集中。故选D。] 8．A　[标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Wartime pilots crashed a lot and knitting helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs and meanwhile settle wounded minds．They were the basis of early occupational therapy．”以及第二段中的“Occupational therapist Jill Riley was part of a team from Cardiff University that surveyed more than 3，500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt．”可知，文章主要介绍了编织是职业疗法的基础，能使人们感到平静。由此可知，A项“活跃的双手，冷静的头脑”适合作文章标题。故选A。] 1/2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
