Ms Clay, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room.“Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition，” she announced.Ms Clay was a great teacher, and Risha liked her a lot.But this announcement made Risha nervous.“Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library.You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Risha found herself sinking lower in her chair. Risha had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do.On Monday, Risha felt frightened, so after school Risha asked Ms Clay if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project. “I understand this project scared you, Risha，” Ms Clay said.“Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms Clay smiled at her.“Art is a person's way of expressing his or her feelings — it isn't always painting, drawing, or cutting.I know you will think of something very creative, and I can't wait to see it.” When Risha arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil.She remembered Ms Clay's words.“Art is a person's way of expressing his or her feelings.” Risha wrote the word “terrified” on her paper.She crumpled (弄皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk. Then Risha stared at the crumpled ball.It reminded her of a snowball.Suddenly an idea struck her.Why not create a winter wonderland out of crumpled paper? Risha didn't have to draw or paint or even cut.Risha made many paper balls, glued them all together, and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman.The snowman wore a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper.Her finished project was really wonderful. On Friday, Risha carefully carried her project into the library. 参考范文： On Friday, Risha carefully carried her project into the library.She noticed the smiles and the nods from teachers and other students as she put her work on a table.Ms Clay walked over to Risha.“You have created a creative piece of artwork.I am so proud of you！” Ms Clay said.Risha was proud of herself too.Her pride grew when Ms Clay placed a first-place star on her artwork.“Maybe I am a good artist after all，” Risha thought. No.4 课时检测 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Artist Tom Campbell has exhibited his work at Outlaw Studios at Marina Commercial Park.The exhibition is Tom's largest one to date and includes affordable art.The interactive show is made up of drawings, paintings, sculptures and live performances.Throughout the exhibition, Tom is working, giving the public an opportunity to watch inside his studio and have their portraits drawn.People can also commission a piece of their choosing. Wall painting is part of Tom's output.He has created a wall painting for Electric Picnic, along with four other artists invited to take part in this commission.His wall painting has a special theme, portrayed by doves (鸽子)．As well as his anti-war standpoint, he is doing something meaningful.Tom is a founding member of a tree planting project called Trees Please.The group has distributed 10,000 trees in about four years across Ireland. Humour is also important for Tom in his art.He can treat heavy subjects with irony, often employing an aggressive combination of lively colors and animals with wistful expressions communicating the importance of respect, peace, understanding and love.He has done creative work for mental health charities. Tom was born with a love for art.He enjoys playing musical instruments in public, like the violin.He gets lots of smiles from people.He also sings and has an online channel featuring his songs, which are very improvised (即兴的)．All this creativity is a lifeline for him, who believes that art is a necessity rather than a luxury. Art is something everybody can do.If creativity was embraced by people in an open way, it could transform society.Art can bring a lot of joy.Everyone is creative and enjoys creativity whether it's music or visual art or whatever. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艺术家汤姆正在举办一场多元化的艺术展览，在创作中他通过绘画表达对于和平的热爱，通过行动来保护环境。 1．What do we know about Tom's exhibition?

A．His sense of humour and creativity. B．His effort to protect plants and animals. C．His advice on painting and planting trees. D．His passion for peace and the environment. √ 解析：段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，汤姆是一个热爱和平同时也致力于保护环境的人，所以本段主要告诉我们他对和平和保护环境的热情。 3．What can we learn from Tom's improvised songs? A．He has creative talent. B．Art is a luxury. C．Art has no boundaries. D．He is popular in public. √ 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，汤姆能即兴创作歌曲，这些歌曲体现了他的创意，故从汤姆即兴创作的歌曲中可以了解到他有创作天赋。 4．In which column of a magazine can the text probably appear? A．Literature.　　　　　　 B．Finance. C．Figure. D．Society. √ 解析：推理判断题。纵观全文，文章主要讲述了艺术家汤姆的多元化艺术画展，以及他通过画展表达对于和平的热爱和通过自己的行动来保护环境的热情，所以文章最有可能出现在人物专栏里面。 B Finger painting is an art that most people have experienced in childhood.But there are still people who know little about this art form.Finger painting is a simple activity that involves dipping (浸；蘸) fingers in paints and then using fingers to create objects and shapes on a piece of paper.All you need is a table at elbow height, a few sheets of plain paper, and a few bottles of watercolor. When engaging kids in this activity, one should use non-toxic (无毒的) paints only.If not available in the market readily, non-toxic paints can be made at home easily.Preferably, the paints should also be eatable.Finger paints come in bright colors and can be purchased relatively inexpensively.Adults can save money by making their own finger paints using a mixture of cornstarch, food coloring and water. It is a common fallacy that finger painting is for children alone; rather it's an activity that can be enjoyed by adults in equal measure.Adults can use rubber gloves while painting to avoid dirty marks of paints on their hands.When a group of people are gathered for an exercise of finger painting, it can be a great way of creating a bond between the group.Art and painting parties are a popular concept in the West.Organizations can also use finger painting as a team-building activity by making participants paint together on a large canvas. There's no limit to the expression of feelings in finger painting.All one needs to do is go all out and put all their feelings on a piece of paper by dipping their fingers in paints.While painting, one may unconsciously choose colors that reflect their emotions.For example, you may choose the color red to express your anger or green to express hope.At times you may be confused, and the painting will help you describe your confused state of mind.Once you get your emotions on paper, you are likely to feel relieved. So what are you waiting for? Plan a finger-painting session soon, and experience the joy. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手指画这种艺术活动的特点和优势。 5．What can we know about finger painting? A．Most people loved it in their childhood. B．The preparation for it is quite difficult. C．Kids learn it much faster than adults. D．Finger painting is easy to carry out. √ 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“Finger painting is a simple activity ...create objects and shapes on a piece of paper.”可知，手指画很容易画。 6．What should people do when there are kids involved in finger painting? A．Prepare safe paints for them. B．Have parents stay with them. C．Use paints of bright colors. D．Buy inexpensive paints. √ 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“When engaging kids in this activity, one should use non-toxic paints only.”可知，当有孩子参与手指画时，人们应该为他们准备安全的颜料。 7．What does the underlined word “fallacy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Goal.　　　　　　 B．Sense. C．Principle. D．Misunderstanding. √ 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后文的“rather it's an activity that can be enjoyed by adults in equal measure”可知，真实的情况是成年人也可以画手指画，所以“finger painting is for children alone (只有孩子才会画手指画)”是错误的看法，因此画线词fallacy意为“误解”，和misunderstanding意思相近。 8．What does the example in Paragraph 4 show? A．Finger painters can find artistic inspiration from emotions. B．Finger painting provides freedom of self-expression. C．Finger painting shows people's emotions correctly. D．Finger painters have a wide choice of colors. √ 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“There's no limit to the expression of feelings ...choose colors that reflect their emotions.”可知，手指画可以让人表达自己的情绪，然后接着举出例子“For example, you may choose the color red to express your anger or green to express hope.”来说明手指画如何帮助人表达情绪，因此本段的例子说明了手指画提供了自我表达的自由。 Ⅱ.应用文写作 假定你是李华，你的笔友Tom对中国的民间艺术很感兴趣，尤其是编织艺术，他来信向你了解编织艺术的相关情况。请你给他回信并赠给他一本书，内容包括： 1．历史：1 000多年； 2．主要原料：竹子、丝线、藤类植物等； 3．主要用途：椅子、背篓、窗帘、篮子、装饰品等。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考范文： Dear Tom， Learning that you are interested in Chinese folk art, especially the weaving art, I'm glad to tell you something about it. The weaving art, dating back to over 1,000 years ago, is one of the Chinese native arts passed down by craftsmen from one generation to the next.Since the weaving art is popular among common people, the weaving materials are mainly from nature.Bamboos, silk threads, or some other vine plants are usually used to make chairs, pack baskets, curtains, baskets, decorations and so on. Here is a book on Chinese weaving art for you.I hope the book can help you know more about it. Yours truly， Li Hua Ⅲ.读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Kyle crumpled another picture to throw it in the wastebasket.He had been trying to draw a sports car like Uncle Lou's.But nothing he drew turned out right.He was a little upset. His teacher, Mrs Lee, noticed him and looked over his shoulder.“What's wrong, Kyle？” she asked gently. “I want to draw a sports car，” Kyle said.“But I can never make it look good.Is there a secret to being an artist？” Hearing this, Mrs Lee was silent for a moment, and then said, “Yes, there is a secret.But I won't tell you unless you make a bet with me.Draw that car again, and give it to me when you're done.Then, every day, do a drawing.Hand one in to me each day for four weeks.Then I'll tell you the secret.It's a bet.Agreed？” Thinking for a while, Kyle agreed.After all, he liked drawing very much.Then he drew Uncle Lou's car again.It didn't look right.The front wheels were bigger than the back wheels.He wanted to crumple it, but he handed it in to Mrs Lee. The next day, Kyle drew another car.The four wheels were almost of the same size, but he couldn't get the mirrors right.He sighed.The idea of giving up came into his mind.But thinking of their bet, he changed his mind.He handed it in anyway.Receiving Kyle's picture, Mrs Lee nodded and encouraged him to draw as much as he would like. Every day, Kyle spent a lot of time drawing the car.Whenever he could, he drew.Wherever he went, he drew.He gave all the pictures to Mrs Lee, no matter how bad they were.Day by day, Kyle started to feel like drawing more, showing greater passion for it. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Finally, four weeks passed.　 Looking at his original drawing and the one that he just finished, Kyle was amazed. 参考范文： Finally, four weeks passed.Eager to know the answer, Kyle rushed to Mrs Lee, reminding her it was the day.Smiling at Kyle, Mrs Lee asked Kyle to draw another picture.Without hesitation, Kyle set about drawing.Eyes glittering with confidence, he drew the sports car with great devotion.In his mind, Uncle Lou's sports car was clear and vivid, as if parking in front of his eyes.Five minutes passed, and a beautiful car appeared on his paper.Thumbs-up, Mrs Lee praised Kyle with pride, taking out the original drawing that Kyle handed in four weeks before. Looking at his original drawing and the one that he just finished, Kyle was amazed.It was beyond his expectation that he could make so much progress! The new sports car was impressively drawn, nice wheels matching the perfect shape, which made Kyle feel a sense of achievement. It was then that he realized that the secret of becoming good at drawing was practice.If he had given up easily, he wouldn't have made such great improvement.His keeping on drawing made all the difference.Greatly inspired, Kyle kept the pictures like treasures, reminding himself that perseverance is what it takes to do everything well. $$null
