《清明上河图》
张择端的《清明上河图》是中国艺术的杰作。此画为五米绢本长卷,它对于我们洞悉12世纪中国的生活面貌是极其重要的。人们通常认为,画中描绘的城市是汴京(今开封),即北宋的都城。这幅古老画历经沧桑依旧完好,现藏于北京故宫博物院。
全画可分为三部分。第一部分展现了汴京近郊恬静的乡村生活,重点描绘了农田、蜿蜒而过的河流和辛勤劳作的农民。第二部分则展现了熙熙攘攘的河岸和中心桥,往来京城的船只穿梭着。城门处能看到进进出出的百姓。第三部分,同时也是最后一部分,描绘了城内的生活。我们能看到数以百计各行各业的人,肉贩、理发店、官差,都在忙着各自的营生。三部分综合起来,观者便可对当时汴京人的生活状况有一大致了解。
显然,张择端在整幅画中表现了他高超的艺术技巧。他施墨于绢,落笔之处,风景、建筑、人物,无不逼真传神,同时展现出透视法的精通。不过,此画最引人注目之处是其精准细腻的笔法。凭借高超的技艺,以及恢宏的画幅,画家刻画了海量的细节,哪怕端详几个小时,你还是会有新的发现。
多亏这些精准的细节,《清明上河图》全面展示了北宋时期的生活景象。它透露了12世纪中国在民俗、服饰、交通方式、商业活动,以及诸如庙宇、茶馆、政府设施等种类繁多的建筑方面的诸多细节。乍看上去,京城生活总体上安宁而欢愉。然而,有评论家指出,细心观察,这幅画其实揭露了严重的政治和社会问题。有些运粮船看上去不像官船,这意味着官府已失去了对粮食供应和运输的控制。画中有些官兵似乎疏于职守。此外还有一些不好的苗头,不太容易觉察。比如,画卷中部有一艘船眼看就要撞到桥上。种种细节都预示着某种危机正在京城中酝酿。事实上,当时的北宋王朝已经在走下坡路了。这幅画完成约20年后,北宋覆灭。
张择端这幅不朽之作是中国绘画史上现实主义的重要典范。它的价值不仅在于画幅宏大,艺术性高,注重细节,更在于其对日常生活的再现。其价值之高,以至后世有多位皇帝令当时最有才华的画家加以临摹。其中有些摹本现今自身亦被视为艺术珍品。张择端以这幅《清明上河图》对中国艺术做出了卓越贡献,也深刻影响后世一代又一代的艺术家。
尽管年代久远,此画原作仍然完好,但已极为脆弱。有鉴于此,它很少公开示人。上一次展出时,观众为了这个一睹名画真容的难得机遇,不惜排几个小时的队。甚至在几个世纪之后,公众对《清明上河图》仍热情不减,这足以证明这幅历史名画的魅力。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
George Washington Carver was born some time in the early-mid 1860s.A sickly child,Carver was unable to work in the fields,so he did gardening.He was left with many free hours to walk in the woods — beginning his career with nature.He soon became known as the “Plant Doctor” and would help friends and neighbors manage sick plants.
In 1890,Carver began to study music and art at Simpson College.His artwork was on show at the 1893 World's Fair.Painting gave him the chance to combine his two loves — art and nature.Yet it was his talents for gardening that took him in another direction in 1891.Carver became the first African-American to attend what is today Iowa State University.He proved to be a first-class student and upon graduation he became the school's first African-American teacher.
In 1896,he received an invitation from Tuskegee Normal and Industrial School in Tuskegee,Alabama.Upon arriving,he found that the school was short of money,so Dr.Carver had to equip his own lab.He and his students would search trash heaps(垃圾堆)for things to use.This proved that Dr.Carver was well ahead of his time.
In 1916,he published a research report on peanuts,which helped many farmers turn to peanuts as a cash crop and saved the economy of the South when it was destroyed by the cotton insects attack.Carver continued his research with the peanut.He went on to find many uses for the peanut.But he didn't invent peanut butter(花生酱).
Dr.Carver's research earned him much worldwide praise.Dr.George Washington Carver died on January 5,1943,and was buried at Tuskegee. Carver contributed his whole life savings to Tuskegee.Upon his death,Franklin D.Roosevelt gave him this title “an inspiring example to youth everywhere”.

Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分)
As a writer on an adventure sports magazine,I'd always resist doing the adventurous stuff myself.I preferred to observe others and 1 their experiences to readers.Thus,when I was challenged to 2 a mountain in aid of charity—and to write about it afterwards—I was 3 .
Then it was a 4 that I had a brilliant coach called Keith,who gave me knowledge about everything from building muscle groups to how to 5 tiredness.It quickly became obvious that the techniques of climbing were more 6 than I had imagined.Aware of the challenge,I forced myself to 7 a detailed action plan Keith made,working out 8 at the gym.My self-belief 9 alongside my muscle power,and I became confident about finishing the climb.
All too soon I was on a plane to my destination.That day,when I looked up at the mountain,I thought of 10 it.But then I remembered all the 11 I'd made and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up—not to mention the sense of 12 I'd experience myself.With a deep breath fear 13 courage,I headed into the sunshine to meet the rest of the group.
And as I sit here now,tapping on my laptop,I'm amazed at all the details I can recall: the burning 14 and the tiredness.Could I have been better prepared? Possibly.Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not.The feeling of being excited when standing on top of the world is a 15 experience but one I will cherish forever.

1.A.expose B.expand
C.prove D.narrate
2.A.promote B.preserve
C.climb D.clean
根据上文“As a writer on an adventure sports magazine”可知,作者作为一名冒险体育杂志的撰稿人,喜欢把别人的经历写下来,叙述(narrate)给读者。
√
√
因此,当我被要求攀登(climb)一座山来帮助慈善事业并在之后写下它时,我是不愿意的。下文“It quickly became obvious that the techniques of climbing were more than I had imagined”中的climbing是提示。
3.A.inspired B.unwilling
C.unaware D.attracted
4.A.problem B.mystery
C.trick D.blessing
作者不喜欢冒险,所以当被告知要去爬山,这个有点风险和危险的事的时候,作者是不愿意的(unwilling)。
√
√
幸运的是,我有一个优秀的教练Keith,他教给了我很多知识,从锻炼肌肉群到如何避免疲劳。本句中,it是形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语,再结合that从句的内容可知,有一个优秀的教练对作者来说是一件好事(blessing)。
5.A.restore B.reject
C.avoid D.ignore
6.A.interesting B.definite
C.complex D.flexible
根据句意以及常识可知,教练教作者爬山时如何避免(avoid)疲劳。
√

7.A.stick to B.turn to
C.adapt to D.contribute to
8.A.occasionally B.gradually
C.daily D.endlessly
根据上文可知,作者发现攀岩技术比作者想象的要复杂得多,为了应对这个爬山的挑战,作者坚持(stick to)教练制定的计划。
√
√
由上文可知,作者认为攀岩很复杂,为了应对爬山这个挑战,坚持教练制定的计划。因此可推断出,作者每天(daily)都在健身房锻炼,才能尽可能快而熟练地掌握攀岩技巧。
9.A.grew B.reduced
C.changed D.crashed
10.A.maintaining B.accomplishing
C.braving D.quitting
√
√
由前文可知,作者刚开始是不愿意爬山的;根据空后I became confident about finishing the climb.可知,作者对自己爬山有信心了。由此可知,作者的自信随着自己的肌肉力量而增长(grow)。
下文“But then I remembered all the I'd made and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up-not to mention the sense of I'd experience myself.”提到作者想到放弃后的结果,其中的gave up和quit是同义词。
11.A.promises B.efforts
C.decisions D.choices
12.A.relief B.obligation
C.satisfaction D.failure
√
√
但随后我想起了我所做的所有努力(efforts)以及如果我放弃了Keith会有多么失望——更不用说我自己将经历的失败感了。
根据语境和句意,作者坚持训练了这么久,如果放弃了爬山,肯定会有失败感。
13.A.giving way to B.holding on to
C.living up to D.going back to
14.A.ears B.muscles
C.anger D.confusion
√
√
根据上文可知,作者在想放弃爬山的事,但是想到自己的努力,教练的失望以及自己要经历的失败感,作者的恐惧让位于(give way to)勇气(即勇气取代了恐惧),和其他人一起开始爬山。
现在,当我坐在这里,敲击着我的笔记本电脑时,我惊讶于我能回忆起的所有细节:燃烧的肌肉(muscles)和疲劳。
根据上文“Would I be back for another go? Thankfully not.”可知作者不会再爬一次山了,所以这次登上山顶的经历是不会被重复的(never-to-be-repeated)经历。
15.A.never-to-be-repeated
B.never-to-be-mentioned
C.never-to-be-recalled
D.never-to-be-forgotten

1.答案:a
2.答案:named
3.答案:possibility

考查词性转换。本空在句中作主语,根据空前冠词a可知,本空应用名词形式。
4.答案:be blocked
5.答案:that/which
6.答案:matters
考查动词的语态。动词block与主语routes之间为被动关系,故本空应用被动语态be blocked。
考查定语从句。本空引导定语从句,修饰名词the period,本空在从句中作主语,指物,故本空应用关系代词that或which。
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据前后句可知,本句应用一般现在时,且句子主语the actual distance是不可数名词,故谓语动词应用单数形式matters。
7.答案:starving
8.答案:miles
考查非谓语动词。prevent sb (from) doing sth意为“防止某人做某事”,故本空应用动词-ing形式starving。

9.答案:on/upon
10.答案:actually
