Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) is one of the most popular of the PostImpressionist painters.He is famed for the great vitality of his works which are characterized by expressive and emotive use of brilliant color and energetic application of impastoed (厚原料的) paint.
Below are some famous pictures painted by Vincent and the poetic lyrics(歌词) to Don McLean's hit song Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) in the famous cartoon film Loving Vincent.
Vincent
Starry, starry night,
Paint your palette (画板) blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity (精神正常)
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze (阴霾,疑惑),
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue,
morning field of amber (黄色的) grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed (抚慰) beneath the artist's loving hand.
For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen,
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will...
the Sunflowers
Self Portrait with
Bandaged Ear
the Yellow House
Starry Night
Head of a
Peasant Woman
The Potato Eaters

(2024·武汉市武昌区高三质量检测)Throughout history, many of the world's greatest artists never achieved tremendous fame until after their death.That's the case of Vivian Maier, who's now considered to be one of the most important American street photographers of the last century, alongside famous names like Diane Arbus and Henri CartierBresson.But she remained unknown for much of her life, and it was only a chance encounter with a box of negatives that put her in the spotlight.
Details of her life are unclear, but she was born in New York City in the 1920s to European parents.Maier grew up in France before returning to the U.S., where she spent several decades working as a nanny in Chicago to wealthy families.During her days off Maier is thought to have taken more than 100,000 photographs of people and city scenes in Chicago, yet she kept the photos to herself—many of them were never developed.
In 2007, a Chicago historian and collector, John Maloof, came across Maier's works by accident after purchasing a box of tens of thousands of undeveloped negatives for $380 at auction (拍卖).As he developed them,Maloof realized they were more than just photos.He was looking at evocative (唤起回忆的) art illustrating the Chicago of the mid20century that nobody had ever seen.Maloof worked to uncover who the photographer was, acquiring more and more of her works.But before he could locate her, Maier had already passed away in 2009, having slipped on ice and never recovering from her head injury.
While Maloof researched Maier's works, more details emerged.She kept to herself, her employers said, and she would spend her free days taking photos on the streets of Chicago with a Rolleiflex camera.According to Maloof, the children Maier took care of knew she was constantly taking photos, yet she never showed her photos to anyone.Maier also traveled around the world, as is indicated by some of her photos.
Other collectors began to acquire Maier's photos, but Maloof owns much of her works.He released a book, Vivian Maier:Street Photographer, in 2011, and his documentary, Finding Vivian Maier, came out in 2013.

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动画电影《长安三万里》。
1.解析:was released。考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:作为一部让唐朝(618-907)一些最具代表性的诗人“起死回生”的史诗,备受期待的动画电影《长安三万里》于7月8日在全国上映。根据时间状语on July 8可知,句子描述过去的情况,应用一般过去时,release与主语movie之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语movie是单数,be动词应用was。故填was released。
2.解析:referred。考查非谓语动词。句意:这部电影是追光动画工作室的第七部作品,该工作室自2013年成立以来因其数次大获成功而一直被称为“中国的皮克斯”。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词,refer与逻辑主语Light Chaser Animation Studios之间是被动关系,空处应用过去分词形式referred作后置定语。故填referred。
3.解析:establishment。考查名词。句意见上题。空处用于形容词性物主代词its之后,应用名词establishment,表示“成立,建立”,符合题意。故填establishment。
4.解析:unusually。考查副词。句意:它在中国电影和评论网站豆瓣满分十分中获得了八分的评分,这对于一部中国动画电影来说相当之高。空处修饰形容词high,应用副词形式作状语,unusually是副词,表示“非同寻常地”,符合题意。故填unusually。
5.解析:longest。考查形容词最高级。句意:《长安三万里》时长168分钟,是迄今为止中国动画电影中最长的一部,展现了李白和他的密友、著名诗人高适在王朝从鼎盛时期过渡到动荡时期长达数十年的友谊。结合句意可知,句子表示《长安三万里》是迄今为止中国动画电影中最长的一部,空处应用形容词的最高级形式longest,表示“最长的”,符合题意。故填longest。
6.解析:a。考查冠词。句意见上题。结合句意以及常识可知,高适是一位著名的诗人,空处应用不定冠词表示泛指,renowned是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,前边应用不定冠词a。故填a。
7.解析:generals。考查名词单复数。句意:这是由安禄山领导的叛乱引起的,安禄山曾是玄宗最宠爱的将领之一。“one of+复数可数名词”为固定搭配,表示“……之一”,所以空处应用名词的复数形式generals。故填generals。
8.解析:who。考查定语从句。句意:与邹靖共同执导这部电影的谢君伟表示,在创作过程中,他曾多次前往西安寻找灵感。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Xie Junwei,先行词指人,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who引导从句。故填who。
9.解析:with。考查介词。句意:他透露,陕西历史博物馆展出的雕塑和古画为电影提供了宝贵的创意。provide sb with sth为固定短语,表示“为某人提供某物”,符合题意,所以空处应用介词with。故填with。
10.解析:inspiring。考查非谓语动词。句意:一位观众说:“每个中国人都有一个大唐梦,这部电影把我带回了大唐王朝,激励我感受到极致的理想主义、浪漫主义和包容性。”分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词,inspire与逻辑主语this movie之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式inspiring作状语。故填inspiring。
