Rose is a realistic painter from Canada. And her paintings are often exact description of frozen lakes or autumn trees—so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas. When I met her at an exhibition she couldn't wait to tell me about the place in her paintings. “Where I grew up we had nine months of winter every year. It's really quite a tough place,” she said. She recalled a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her painting. The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snowcovered countryside during my own first winter in Canada. I could almost hear the crashing of the ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.
Just like businessmen may have some words with their clients about their products, artists, too, need their 30second story which goes freely about their works. That's why it's so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can tell a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.
18.What's Rose's painting style?
A.Impressionism. B.Romantism.
C.Realism.
答案:C
19.What does the image of Rose's paintings bring to your mind?
A.Snowcovered countryside.
B.Busy streets of Ottawa.
C.Ships struggling in the ocean.
答案:A
20.What is the man's suggestion to the painters at an exhibition?
A.Selling their paintings to storytellers.
B.Telling the story behind each painting.
C.Exhibiting their paintings in Canada.

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (画布) for art. But often, it's limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccerfieldsized areas covered in untouched snow. Combined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby. “It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure ...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation,” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck's paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what's the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”

Museums have been around for centuries, with the first known museum founded in the 3rd century BC. For a long time, they were used to showcase traditional artworks like paintings, sculptures and drawings.
In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. It includes a variety of mediums such as animation, 3D modelling, virtual reality and video game design. Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before.
The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time. On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks. On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.
In general, while there may still be some debate over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections, it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression. As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了随着数字技术的崛起,关于“博物馆是否应该收藏数字艺术作品”的话题被大家广泛讨论。

C.Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology.
D.It should be placed in museums according to most people.
答案:C

29.What does the underlined word “endorse” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Increase. B.Refuse.
C.Describe. D.Accept.
答案:D
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词前句“On one hand ... as traditional artworks.”可知,一方面,许多人认为数字艺术不是“真正的”艺术,不应该得到与传统艺术作品同样的认可;根据画线词所在句“On the other hand ... of artworks.”可知,从另一方面来说,数字艺术的支持者认为,博物馆应认可这种新的艺术表现形式,并给予它与任何其他类型的艺术作品同样的尊重。endorse在此处表示“认可,接受”。故选D。
30.What is the current situation of the digital art?
A.It is getting more and more recognition.
B.It has been accepted by the mainstream audiences.
C.Most museums have accepted it as their collection.

Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “an easy subject” at school, insignificant to the wider society, a waste of time and effort?
Art can connect culture with commercial (商业的) products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect crossover (交迭) between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social relationships are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.

57.答案:is
解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。设空处作谓语,根据feels可知,应用一般现在时,且主语handwriting为不可数名词,谓语动词应用单数。故填is。
58.答案:with
解析:考查介词。根据设空后的old fashioned fountain pens可知,设空处应用介词with,意为“使用”。故填with。
59.答案:were used
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:钢笔很久以前就在学校里被使用,最近又重新流行起来,因为它们可以重复灌墨。设空处作谓语,根据时间状语long ago可知,应用一般过去时;主语Fountain pens为复数,且和动词use之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were used。
60.答案:simply
解析:考查词性转换。设空处应用副词修饰动词throws。故填simply。

62.答案:improvement
解析:考查词性转换。根据设空前的冠词the可知,设空处应用名词作介词with的宾语,improvement意为“改善”,为不可数名词。故填improvement。

解析:考查连词。设空前的短语in his students' writing和设空后的短语in his own writing为并列关系,应用and连接。故填and。

解析:考查代词。句意:然而,他认为,用钢笔练习可以帮助学生集中注意力、写得更快,他们可以为自己感到自豪。根据设空前的介词of可知,设空处应用代词作宾语,此处指代与主语they一致,应用反身代词。故填themselves。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Amy loved drawing, but her grandmother Bonnie was opposed to it, who thought those strange things Amy drew were not going to help her in the future. One day, when they were eating dinner at table, the doorbell rang.
Amy answered the door to see a welldressed man standing at the door. “Oh my God, I know you! Mr Henderson?” Amy said gladly. “You are my favorite cartoonist (漫画家)! Wow! Hello, sir!” Then she led Mr Henderson into her house.
Mr Henderson was a famous New Yorkbased cartoonist. He worked for an art magazine.
“I received a letter with some samples (样品) of your artwork, Amy. And I must say I was so impressed by your talent. In fact, I wrote you letters, but I never got a reply,” Mr Henderson said to Amy. “If I hadn't visited you today, you might have missed out on a onceinalifetime opportunity.”
“You sent me letters?” Amy wondered aloud. Amy noticed Bonnie sitting uneasily in her seat, and she realized why the letters had never reached her. Her grandmother had kept them hidden from her. Mr Henderson continued, “We are accepting applications for our arts training program this summer. I would personally teach the students the art of cartoons and everything related. For that, you need to pass a drawing test. If everything goes well, you will be able to learn from me later and pursue your dream of art.”
Amy was excited about the news, but Bonnie refused and said angrily, “You are wasting our time, sir. Please leave.”
“But ma'am, this can really shape your granddaughter's career,” Mr Henderson said. “And if you're concerned about the money, please don't be. The committee will cover all the costs. A gifted child like Amy can greatly benefit from the program.” Then Mr Henderson pulled out a file from his document case and gave it to Amy. “It's a test assignment. I know your grandmother is against it and things are tough, but I hope you'll be able to do it,” he added as he left the house.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Amy couldn't contain her excitement after Mr Henderson's visit.
Amy's strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Amy (艾米)喜欢画画,但是奶奶Bonnie (邦妮)却不支持,著名的纽约漫画家Henderson (亨德森)先生在一封信中看到了Amy的作品,并亲自来到了Amy家,鼓励Amy参加暑期艺术培训课程。得到Henderson支持的Amy是怎样做的?奶奶被Amy对画画的热爱所感动,她是怎样做的?
[精彩范文]
Amy couldn't contain her excitement after Mr Henderson's visit. She carefully examined the test assignment he had given her. The challenge seemed difficult, but Amy was determined to prove herself. She spent hours each day practicing her drawing skills. As days turned into weeks, Amy's progress was remarkable. She submitted her completed test assignment to Mr Henderson, who was genuinely impressed by her improvement. He believed that Amy had the ability to excel in the arts training program and even make a successful career in the field of art.
Amy's strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie. She began to notice the efforts and passion Amy put into her work. She realized that Amy had a talent for drawing, and that perhaps her artistic dream was worth pursuing. Over time, Bonnie started to support Amy. She understood that this opportunity could be lifechanging for her granddaughter. With Bonnie's support, Amy devoted herself to the arts training program and learned a lot from Mr Henderson. Sometimes, dreams could become a reality with the right opportunity and strong support.
