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 nontoxic (无毒的) paints only.If not available in the market readily,nontoxic 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 teambuilding activity by making participants paint together on a large canvas (画布).
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 fingerpainting 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。
4.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.
答案:D
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。故选D。
5.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.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“When engaging kids in this activity,one should use nontoxic (无毒的) 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。故选A。
6.What does the underlined word “fallacy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Goal. B.Sense.
C.Principle. D.Misunderstanding.
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段的“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”是错误的看法,因此画线词fallacy的意思是“误解”,和Misunderstanding意思相近。故选D。
7.What does the example in Paragraph 4 show?
A.Finger painters can find artistic inspiration from emotions.
B.Finger painting provides freedom of selfexpression.
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,因此第四段的例子说明了手指画提供了自我表达的自由。故选B。
