课时作业(一)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Still dressed in their sleepwear, Dian Turner's kids couldn't wait to get outside.But they didn't go far—they stopped at the footpath outside their Melbourne home, armed with a box of chalks.
Max, seven, and Lenny, four, have been away from their friends since coronavirus physical-distancing rules came into force and the Victorian school holidays were brought forwards a week.They're just two of the many children who have been spending their shutdown time drawing rainbows (彩虹) and encouraging messages like“We're all in this together”across Australia.“It was something for the kids to make them feel connected to other people, because obviously they're feeling a little bit uncertain about staying at home and what this means, and not being able to go to the playground and the park,”Ms Turner said.
Ms Turner first saw the idea when she was added to a Facebook group called the Rainbow Trail, which documents children and their parents drawing rainbows for others to spot.Ms Turner, a lawyer who has been spending much of her time working from home amid the shutdown measures, said it was“something positive to talk about”with the family.“You're not breaking any of the social-distancing rules but it's something that you can do and you can be happy and show that there's a connection.”
University of Melbourne public health researcher Lisa Gibbs said it was important to provide children with age-appropriate ways to make them feel active and capable during the pandemic.“It's easy in times of danger, which essentially this is, to be so concerned with protecting children, which obviously is of great importance,”Professor Gibbs said.“But in protecting children we can sometimes treat them as vulnerable (脆弱的), which makes them feel useless.So these sorts of activities are really helpful in providing a sense of agency in children that they can make a contribution to others.”
Professor Gibbs said in times of disaster, two patterns were very common—community mobilization, where people banded together, and community deterioration (恶化), where social supports fell apart.“So what these activities from children are doing is really contributing to social mobilization,”she said.“And people respond really positively to children's messages, because they spread joy.”

Ⅱ.七选五
Artists have been painting with oil paints for hundreds of years and oil paints continue to be popular worldwide due to their versatility (用途广泛), quality and color.Here are some general tips that may be useful to you if you are just starting out with oil paints.
Start with small paintings
Painting small gives you the chance to try out techniques and experiment with color without investing too much time or material into the process.You can buy some small canvases (画布) or canvas boards. __1__
Invest in brushes
Buy professional grade paints if you can afford them rather than student grade. __2__ You can buy more and experiment with them as you paint more.You can use synthetic brushes made for acrylic paints for oil, but there is also a range of natural hair brushes that can be used with oil.
Use a limited painting palette (调色板)
__3__ Start with a monochrome (单色的) painting.You can use any color you like depending on whether you want a cool or warm painting.This will allow you to get a feel for the paint.
Understand paint order
Paint thick over thin, fat over lean, and slow-drying over fast-drying.That means using thinner paint and less oil in the first layers (层), saving thicker paint and higher oil content for later layers. __4__ And this will help keep your painting from cracking.
Keep it tidy
Oil paints and mediums are poisonous if absorbed into the skin. __5__ Deal with paints, mediums, rags, paper towels, and disposable paper palettes properly.You should wet rags and paper in water before throwing them away since they can burn easily.
A.You can even try painting with oils on paper.
B.This will help ensure that earlier layers dry first.
C.Your work will improve rapidly if you paint a lot.
D.And buy a few higher quality brushes to start with too.
E.This will give you the chance to see and think about your work.
F.Put them away and keep them out of reach of pets and small children.
G.Don't feel that you have to use all the colors in your painting at once.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章给初学油画者提供了一些建议。
1.A 设空处和上一句是并列关系。上文中的without investing too much time or material into the process和A项中的even try painting with oils on paper相照应;A项中的You can在上一句中有原词复现。
2.D 设空处和上文是并列关系。由小标题Invest in brushes可知,该段主要介绍了和购买画笔有关的内容。D项中的brushes和下文中的synthetic brushes和natural hair brushes构成词汇复现。
3.G 设空处位于句首,起总领全段的作用。由小标题Use a limited painting palette和整个段落的内容可知,设空处的内容应当和如何选择颜色有关。G项中的Don't feel that you have to use all the colors和下文中的Start with a monochrome painting相照应。
4.B 设空处和下文为并列关系。B项中的help ensure that earlier layers dry first和下文中的help keep your painting from cracking都是对上文中描述的作画顺序的解释。
5.F 设空处和上文是因果关系。上文中的Oil paints and mediums are poisonous解释了F项中所描述的行为的原因。下文中的Deal with...properly和F项中的Put them away...是并列关系。

C 由上文中的I felt quite scared可知,直到大约第三节课“我”才感到“舒服(comfortable)”。
4.A.disasters B.successes

D 由上文中的Nothing had...in the environment—simply things were more familiar to me可知,对“陌生(unfamiliar)”事物的恐惧在我们每个人身上都很普遍。

14.A.ensured B.reminded
C.proved D.struck
B 由第一段中的I was also reminded of several key life...可知,艺术课让“我”“想到(reminded)”在任何情况下都有有趣和严肃的一课要学。此处reminded与上文中的reminded是原词复现。
15.A.hard B.right
C.terrible D.great
D 由下文中的it's actually fun to be bad at things too可知,破折号前后的内容表达的意思相反,故此处是说你不必很“擅长(be great at)”某件事情才能让它变得有趣——事实上不擅长某件事情也很有趣。
Ⅳ.语法填空

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了印象派的相关情况。
1.what 考查连接词。设空处在句中引导宾语从句,且在从句中作宾语,故填what。
2.perfection 考查名词。设空处在句中作宾语,应用其名词形式,故填perfection。
3.to get 考查动词不定式作宾语的用法。manage to do sth.是固定用法,意为“设法成功做某事”,故填to get。
