B 子主题2不刻森来宝才能感交语篇类型 到创作的自由和快乐 记叙文 词数347关键词artclass,freedom,reflect, monitor,spirit [2021一2022江苏省泰州中学高-下第2次月考]The other day,while taking a drop-in art class,Ihad an experience that I don't always have when I'm engaged in something creative.I was fully in the zone. My instructor even commented:"You're on fire today."Painting after painting was flying out of me.I felt free-a very unfamiliar feeling for me. Class started off with quick thirty-second figure drawing,then we worked our way up to one-minute, and then finally four-minute sketches ()Ever since the instructor told me not to go over the same line twice,I've really struggled with finding my freedom in figure drawing.But that day I was completely free,and as a consequence,my line quality was much better.I felt completely unconcerned with what the teacher thought of my work.It was one of the most enjoyable creative experiences I've had. Afterwards,I was reflecting on why this was such a pleasurable experience.This is how I always want to feel while creating. I think this was so enjoyable because it was a drop-in class.Not a full course.Not to get a master's degree.Therefore,I felt no responsibility for getting it right.I was able to take it less seriously and just have fun with it.And I wasn't monitoring myself to make sure that I was improving. If you practice your chosen craft,you will improve over time.Worrying about whether you're getting better doesn't help you improve.It actually slows down your growth.Your intellect might think it's helping out,but it's actually slowing you down and making your creative process less fun.Eventually,there's truth to the simple saying-practice makes perfect.Since there's no perfection in the world of creativity, practice makes it better. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.Create even though it won't be perfect.Create because it won't be perfect.Create because your spirit needs to express itself.That is where the freedom is.That is where the joy is. 5.What does the underlined part in paragraph I mean? A.The author was very clever. B.The author got a little bored. C.The author made a wise choice. D.The author devoted herself to her work. 6.What do we know about the author in the drop-in art class? A.She did what she liked. B.She learnt the basic skills of sketching. C.She had no inspiration to create works. D.She couldn't keep up with other students. 7.What can we lear about the author from the text? A.She focuses on gaining better drawing skills. 11118011 Unit 4 Amazing art B.She has no sense of responsibility in her daily life. C.She thinks joy mainly results in a person's perfection. D.She has found the reason for the pleasurable experience. 8.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Practice Makes Perfect B.Begin Enjoying Drop-in Art Classes C.Try to Find the Key to Successful Work D.Don't Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the Good ‖.七选五 子主题3 文森特·梵高简介语篇类型 记叙文词数270关键词 Vincent van Gogh,painting, Impressionism [2021一2022山东省青岛-中高-下期中]Vincent van Gogh(30 March,1853-29July,1890)wasa Dutch Post--Impressionist(后印象派画家).1 Van Gogh spent his early adult life working for a firm of art dealers.2 He did not begin his career as an artist until 1880.However,during the last ten years of his life,he produced more than 2,000 pieces,including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches.He worked only with somber colours until he met Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism in Paris.3 Most of his best-known works were produced during his final two years,when he was suffering from serious mental illness.
