(2024·北京卷)
When I was a little girl,I liked drawing,freely
and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In
primary school, I learned to write using chalks.
Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I
shaped individual letters into repeating lines,which
were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless
patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favourite
subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good
at it. For the art Olevel exam I had to present an oil
painting. I found it difficult,but still hoped to pass. I
failed,with a low grade. Id been overconfident.
Now Id been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open:I
went on writing poems and stories. Still,I went to
exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing,
which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱
画). In my 30s,I made painter friends and learned
new ways of looking at art. However,I couldnt let
myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these
new friends were abstract painters using oil paints,or
were printmakers or sculptors,I took oil painting as
the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasnt allowed to
practice.
One night,in my early 40s,I dreamed that a big
woman in red approached me,handed me a bag of
paints,and told me to start painting. The dream felt
so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of
energy, giving me back something Id lost.
Accordingly,I started by experimenting with water
colours. Finally,I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades
long taboo about working with oil paints, I have
discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line
drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all
feels free and easy. Unanxious. This time around,I
can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being
resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too
much. That dream reminded me that those fears and
desires could encourage me to take risks and make
experiments.
4. How did the author feel about the result of the art
exam?
A. Scared. B. Worried.
C. Discouraged. D. Wronged.

5. In her 30s,the author .
A. avoided oil painting practice
B. sought for a painting career
C. fancied abstract painting
D. exhibited child paintings
6. Which word would best describe the authors
dream?
A. Confusing. B. Empowering.
C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining.
7. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Hard work is the mother of success.
C. Dreams are the reflections of realities.
D. Creative activities involve being confide
