Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Many artists draw with pens and brushes,but few “paint” with knives.Wang Jing,a woman from Shenyang city in northeast China’s Liaoning Province,has been engaged in this art form for 27 years.
In 1995,Wang was inspired by an accidental cut by a knife on a piece of red paper,which left a white line,and believed that she may have created something out of the ordinary.Using knives and paper,she then completed a painting of a pair of peacocks that later became a source of motivation for her 27-year endeavor.
Unlike traditional paintings,onto which colors are “added”,“knife painting” requires the painter to use blades(刀锋) to take away colors on specially made coated paper.“Knife painters” apply varied pressure on the paper in different directions to create different colors and tones.“Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thin as a hair,” said Wang,adding that once the marks are left on the paper,they cannot be covered,so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.
The novel art form was known to few people just after Wang created it.Even Wang herself was not expecting to make it something big at the beginning.But thanks to her huge enthusiasm for the art form,she has persisted with it for the past 27 years.So far,she has completed hundreds of paintings about auspicious Chinese culture,figures,landscape,flowers and birds,of which her favorite is a 2.8-meter-long painting that depicts 20 lifelike egrets(白鹭).Wang said she will continue working in the craft and make it known across the world.

A.It takes away colors.
B.It needs painters’ focus.
C.It creates thin marks.
D.It applies varied pressure.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“‘Painting on paper with knives is a delicate art and each line in the painting is as thin as a hair,’ said Wang...so it requires the painter to be completely absorbed in the work.”可知,用刀在纸上作画是一门精致的艺术,画中的每一条线都像头发一样细,需要画家完全专注于作品,因此用刀作画需要极高的专注度,故选B。
3.What does the underlined word “novel” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A.Original. B.Valuable.
C.Traditional. D.Complex.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的created“创造”以及“was known to few people”可知,这种艺术形式是新创造的,自然是新颖的,original意为“新颖的、独创的”,故选A。
4.Which of the following can best describe Wang?

B.Creative and ambitious.
C.Enthusiastic and humble.

(2023·河南信阳高一期末)
Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous artists in the world.When his paintings are sold,they usually cost millions of dollars.Now an art museum in Canada has used a special kind of X-ray to help them find new secrets in one of Picasso’s famous paintings,“La Misereuse Accroupie”,or “The Crouching Beggar(蜷坐的乞丐)”.
It is not unusual for artists to paint pictures on top of other pictures.At one point in his life,Picasso did this often,probably as a way to save money.People often call this time Picasso’s “Blue Period” because he used a lot of blue in his paintings.
People at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) thought that Picasso’s painting “The Crouching Beggar” was painted on top of another picture,but they did not know exactly what it was.Using X-rays,they learned that Picasso had painted his picture on top of a landscape(风景画) painting.
Picasso turned the landscape painting on its side and used some of the outlines of the old painting when he made his new painting.The people from the AGO worked with scientists at Northwestern University.These scientists used X-rays in a special way to test the painting.
The X-ray pictures showed more details of the landscape.But they also had another surprise.They showed that at first Picasso had painted his beggar with her arm out,holding a piece of bread,but in the final picture,he painted over her arm,so that all you can see is her coat.
Scientists and people who study art are excited about this new way to use X-rays.It is much cheaper than the old way.The machine is also much easier to move around.Some people think that there are many other secrets that can be found by looking at other paintings in this new way.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家使用X射线检测毕加索的画作《蜷坐的乞丐》,发现了被这幅画覆盖的另一幅画。
5.What is the reason why a time in Picasso’s life was called his “Blue Period”?
A.His painting subjects.
B.His living environment.
C.His use of the color blue.
D.His love for blue paintbrushes.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段末句可知,毕加索生命中的某个时期被称为“蓝色时期”,这是因为他在绘画中使用了大量的蓝色。故选C。
6.Why did the scientists test Picasso’s “The Crouching Beggar”?
A.To see the old painting under it.
B.To learn about his personal life.
C.To know why he drew a beggar.
D.To see the beggar’s looks clearly.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,安大略美术馆的人想知道《蜷坐的乞丐》是在哪幅画上画的,所以用X射线检测,由此可知,科学家之所以要测试毕加索的《蜷坐的乞丐》,是因为他们想看下面的旧画。故选A。
7.What did the test show about the first “The Crouching Beggar”?
A.The beggar looked hungry.
B.The beggar’s coat was blue.
C.The beggar was cutting bread.
D.The beggar’s arm can be seen.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,起初毕加索画的乞丐的胳膊伸出来了,手里拿着一块面包,但在最终的画作中,他用画笔覆盖了她的胳膊,所以你只能看到她的外套。故测试显示了起初在《蜷坐的乞丐》中可以看到乞丐的胳膊。故选D。
8.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the new test method?
A.Its popularity.
B.The right ways of using it.
C.Its advantages.
D.The fields where it can be used.
答案 C
解析 段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“It is much cheaper than the old way.The machine is also much easier to move around.”可知,该段主要介绍了新的测试方法的优点。故选C。
Ⅴ.七选五
How many times have you forgotten to do something important because you didn’t write it down or set a reminder? Or,how often do you feel overloaded because you said “yes” to too many people and over committed yourself?
Many of us can relate to these situations because they are common time management mistakes we should avoid. 1 They can also cause you to miss out on your goals.This is why it’s important to identify the time management mistakes you’re making and learn strategies to overcome each one.
One common mistake is not to use To-Do lists effectively.When you don’t write things down,it’s easy to forget what you need to do and to let people down as a result.It’s also important to remember To-Do lists can get overwhelmed when we take on too many projects. 2
Another common mistake is having no priorities. 3 Getting your priorities right will also help you reduce the stress you feel when you have a lot of work on.
Not knowing how to manage distractions is another major time management mistake. 4 So,make sure you know how to manage interruptions.Turn off your phone and email alerts when you need to concentrate.
5 Chances are you want to help your friends and colleagues whenever you can.But when you over-extend yourself,you don’t have the time or energy to do your best work.Some people think multitasking is actually a good strategy to maximize time.The truth is you’re likely to do both tasks poorly because you simply can’t concentrate fully when you’re doing two things at once.
These are just some of the time management mistakes.
A.This can cost you hours of wasted time each day.
B.In addition,you should also avoid multitasking.
C.These mistakes may also impact the quality of your work.
D.Mistakes like these can cause stress and lower your productivity.
E.If this happens to you,consider using an Action Program instead.
F.Another common mistake is saying “yes” to too many tasks and commitments.
G.When you don’t prioritize tasks,you can end up spending much time on less important things.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章对时间管理这一概念做了解释并对几种时间管理错误进行了分析并提出了建议。
1.答案 D

2.答案 E
解析 上文“It’s also important to remember To-Do lists can get overwhelmed when we take on too many projects.”提出了一种情况,下文对这种情况进一步说明,与E项“如果发生这种情况,请考虑使用‘行动计划’”表达的含义一致,故选E。
3.答案 G
解析 根据上文“Another common mistake is having no priorities.”可知,此处说的是要考虑优先事项,与G项“当你不优先考虑任务时,最后你可能会把很多时间花在不太重要的事情上”表达的含义一致,故选G。
4.答案 A
解析 上文“Not knowing how to manage distractions is another major time management mistake.”说的是不知道如何管理干扰是一种错误的时间管理情况,下文对这种情况继续说明,与A项“这可能会让你每天浪费数小时的时间”表达的含义一致,故选A。
5.答案 F
解析 下文说的是超出自己的能力承诺向别人提供帮助,使自己没时间和精力做好工作,与F项“另一个常见的错误是对太多的任务和承诺说‘是’”表达的含义一致,故选F。
