Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Cimabue, the greatest painter of the Middle Ages in Italy, was surprised one day after his lunch break to discover that a fly had seated itself under the nose of a character that he had been working on.He swatted (重拍) at the fly, but it did not move.He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint.Turning around, he saw that his apprentice (学徒), Giotto, was laughing.Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled. Giotto di Bondone was born into a poor family in a village.Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint.That was how Giotto's story began in Florence, where the young student flourished under Cimabue's instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill. At that time, people in paintings didn't look real, and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with it.Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years. However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way.His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes (壁画) for the Arena Chapel.Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then, he painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted.He created three­dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times. In addition to painting, Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans.When Giotto was in his sixties, he painted the Ognissanti Madonna, another famous work of art.He continued working until the age of seventy.The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever. [语篇解读]　　记叙文。文章主要介绍了意大利伟大的画家Giotto di Bondone给绘画带来的思想彻底改变了艺术界，从而使他成为有史以来最伟大的画家之一。 1．What does the anecdote in paragraph 1 tell us about Giotto? A．His humor. B．His talent. C．His courage. D．His determination. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第一段内容，尤其是最后一句“Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.”可知，有一次Giotto趁Cimabue不在时偷偷在Cimabue所画的人物脸蛋上画了一只栩栩如生的苍蝇。当Cimabue回来后，他信以为真，多次尝试将这只烦人的“苍蝇”赶走。这件轶事主要告诉我们Giotto的才能。故选B。 2．How did Cimabue feel about Giotto's painting when they first met? A．Impressed. B．Hesitant. C．Doubtful. D．Amused. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint.”可知，Cimabue第一次见Giotto时，认为Giotto的画令人印象深刻。故选A。 3．What made Giotto's works distinguished at that time? A．Vivid colors. B．Classic skills. C．Original composition. D．Lifelike quality. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way.”及“he painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted”可知，Giotto的画因逼真的特点而与众不同。故选D。 4．Which of the following best summarizes Giotto's story? A．Great minds think alike. B．Innovation is the vitality of art. C．Constant dripping wears away a stone. D．A slow sparrow should make an early start. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.”可知，当时的艺术因没有创新而止步不前，结合第四段中“Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then”及最后一段中“The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.”可知，最能总结Giotto的故事的是B项“创新是艺术的生命力”。故选B。 B According to Americans for the Arts, more than two­thirds of U．S.adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences.” Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent visited an art museum; six percent attended a literary event.Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art—we are weighed down by our day­to­day responsibilities.Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery.And reading poetry? Perhaps not since high school. Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison.But this is a mistake.The arts might be the single most in­depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life.And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life become fuller and happier. Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuits.They argue that art provides relief from this routine, expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to true reality. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry.Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture.Chances are that it probably stimulated (刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in，” you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury (奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money.As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby.Don't make this error.Treat art more like exercise or sleep: a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction. [语篇解读]　议论文。文章主要论述了人们没有时间参与艺术这种现象以及艺术的重要性，艺术应该是一种生活中的必需品而不是奢侈品。 5．What does paragraph 1 focus on? A．The opinion of U．S.adults about art. B．The types of art that U．S.adults engage with. C．The mismatch between value and behaviour as to art. D．The connection between everyday experiences and art. 解析　C　段落大意题。通读第一段可知，本段主要讲的是就艺术而言，价值观和行为之间的不匹配。故选C。 6．What is a mistaken idea in the author's opinion? A．Art reveals the nature of life.

D．Background music is a kind of art. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第三段“Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison.But this is a mistake.”可知，艺术让位于物质追求是错误的想法。故选B。 7．What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5?
