(2024·河南省中原名校联盟高三调研考试)A year after Walt Disney made history with the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, his artists were struggling to find the right design for the woodland backgrounds of Bambi, the comingofage tale of a young deer. The film's production team realized they needed an alternative to the style in their first feature length animated film. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display at New York City's Museum of Chinese in American Wong, an immigrant (移民) from Taishan, China, arrived in California at 9 with his father in 1919. Wong eventually settled near Los Angeles, where he developed his passions for art and drawing and got trained at the Otis Art Institute.
In 1938, The Walt Disney Studio hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. Wong soon learned that the studio was trying to turn Felix Salten's novel Bambi into an animated film. After reading the story, he saw an opportunity to break out of his boring job.
Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolor and crayons that created the forest scenes with simple strokes (笔画) of color and special attention to light and shadow. Wong's skills caught Disney's eye and became the guide for Bambi's background artists, who were later trained to mimic (效仿) his style.
By the time Bambi hit theaters in 1942, a strike at The Walt Disney Studio had left Wong jobless after three years of working on the project. He later became an illustrator for Warner Bros, where he worked for more than two decades.
“People admire his work because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his art life,” said Wong's youngest daughter. “He considers himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.”

(2023·江西五市九校协作体高三联考)The beauty of a single pheasant's feather (野鸡羽毛) caught Nick Orr's eye—and inspired him to produce something unique.
The art of the miniaturist (微型画画家) invites us to look at the familiar in a new way by reimagining it on a different scale.
This extraordinary inversion of the beauty of birds in flight expressed microscopically (微观地) through sculpting a sole flight feather came about by chance. Orr explains: “One day my daughter asked for some pheasant's feathers. It made me look at them and see how beautiful they were and I thought what a waste not to create something with them.”
Having had his 10% of inspiration, Orr now had to go through 90% of perspiration (汗水) to find a way to work with feathers. Orr said, “I played around with various ideas and nothing really worked, and I was holding a bunch and started cutting them to shape and to my surprise they didn't fall apart.”
“It is as difficult to design the feather as it is to cut it out. The feather is my canvas and it is such a small canvas to work on—less than 3cm—and a very particular shape. Everything I depict must fit into that.”
“I see birds so differently now. Now I see the feathers first and then see the bird. I will think about how I can recreate it on a feather.”
Each individual feather is treated differently, with the feather itself playing a major part in the design of the eventual image. “Once I have an idea for a picture, I will start to sketch an overall outline on paper, at the same time as thinking about how it will fit a particular feather. I love the idea that I take a feather from a bird that most people think of as the ugliest on the planet and turn it into something beautiful.”
And that's at the heart of Orr's work—to make us see what we normally miss.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了微型画画家Nick Orr (尼克·奥尔)用羽毛进行艺术创作,使我们欣赏到我们通常错过的东西的美。
5.How did Orr begin to work on his feather art works?
A.His whole family attempted to perfect a feather.
B.His daughter was crazy about the beautiful feathers.
C.He accidentally discovered the beauty of the feathers.
D.He always thought these feathers perfect medium.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,Orr偶然发现了羽毛的美,便开始了他的羽毛艺术创作。故选C。
6.What does Orr think of the work with feathers?
A.He believes inspiration and perspiration are of the same importance.
B.He thinks it of the same difficulty to design the feather as to shape it.
C.He finds it too difficult to cut a bunch of feather into different shapes.
D.He imagines the familiar single feather in the same way as people do.

(2024·河南省中原名校联盟高三调研考试)Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience? 1
The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. 2 Even back in the early days of silent films,most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking.
As soundonfilm technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera,film music serves to advance the story and the action. 3 In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay's storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay's mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer's ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. 4 But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music.
5 Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?”
A.So, how is the film music created?
B.Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene.
C.An opera composer must follow the text of the opera.
D.Usually, composers and filmmakers don't want to overshadow a film.
E.So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music.
F.The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama.
G.Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the moviewatching experience.

Ⅲ.语法填空
(2024·九省联考)Whenever you have to write a paper, a letter, or any other document for work or school, you probably head toward the computer. Now, most people reach for 1 (keyboard) faster than they pick up pens. In a Scottish primary school, however, Mr. Norman Lewis is taking a different approach. He feels that neat handwriting 2 (be) still an important skill, so he has his students write not only by hand but also 3 old fashioned fountain pens.
Fountain pens 4 (use) in schools long ago and have been regaining popularity lately because they are refillable. Today, a writer 5 (simple) throws an empty pen away and gets 6 new one.
So far, Mr. Lewis is pleased with the results of his experiment. He reports that his students are taking more care with their work, and their selfconfidence has improved as well. He is happy with the 7 (improve) he sees in his students' writing 8 in his own writing. He knows that computers are here 9 (stay) and that they will not disappear. However, he believes that the practice with fountain pens helps students to focus, to write faster, and they can feel proud of 10 (they).
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
