Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Vincent van Gogh
Born in the Netherlands in 1853,van Gogh led a simple life in a small town until the age of 16.He then left school and joined a company of art business in the larger city.During the next seven years,van Gogh bought and sold paintings in the Netherlands,London,and Paris.He eventually realized that dealing with others' artworks was not his dream.He soon discovered that his dream was to become an artist himself.
He spent much of his time in learning the basic skills of drawing.He believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw.It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That was when van Gogh developed a style for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.
Van Gogh's paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. He used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost threedimensional.This quality makes people want to reach out and touch the painting.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of van Gogh's use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls across the canvas (画布) , while the stars glow with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke(笔画)creates the movement and lights. Under the sky rests a village painted with smaller strokes and finer detail, giving the impression of peace. A large tree in the foreground suggests that the view is enjoyed from the top of a hill, which offers a glimpse of the majesty (庄严) of the night sky. The Starry Night displays the gift of van Gogh's ability to create a powerful image with simple brush and oils.
Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting.Yet van Gogh today is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is strong; many painters mimic his style and use of color. His artworks can be found in museums all over the world.
1.How did van Gogh learn to paint?
A.By reading books about art.
B.By observing the world around him.
C.By studying the works of great artists.
D.By equipping himself with basic skills.
2.Why did the author include The Starry Night in the passage?
A.To praise van Gogh's ability.
B.To present van Gogh's respect for nature.
C.To show van Gogh's style of painting.
D.To express van Gogh's feelings about his art.
3.What did the author seem to admire most about van Gogh's paintings?
A.Image. B. Light.
C.Theme. D.Brushwork.
4.What does the underlined word“mimic”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Copy. B.Teach.
C.Change. D.Create.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了著名画家梵高的人生经历、绘画特点以及代表作。
1.D [细节理解题。根据第二段中“He spent much of his time in learning the basic skills of drawing.He believed that to become a great painter,one must first master the ability to draw.”可知,梵高花费大量的时间学习绘画的基本功。他相信要成为一名伟大的画家,必须先要掌握绘画的技能。由此可知,梵高是通过学习绘画的基本技能来学会画画的。故选D。]
2.C [细节理解题。根据第四段中“Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of van Gogh's use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night.”可知作者以The Starry Night为例,就是为了说明梵高的色彩使用和笔刷风格。故选C。]
3.D [推理判断题。结合第四段的描述我们可知,作者花了大量的篇幅描述梵高绘画的两大风格:色彩的使用和笔画。由此可知四个选项中只有选项D正确,其他三个选项“形象”“光线”“主题”均不正确。]
4.A [词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“His influence is strong;many painters mimic his style and use of color.”可知,梵高的影响力是巨大的,很多画家都模仿他的风格和色彩使用。根据句意可知此处mimic意为“模仿”,与copy(模仿)同义。故选A。]
B
Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and creative thinkers of all time. His most famous paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting—Landscape 8P which, they think, is da Vinci's earliestknown artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images, not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5, 1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this “mirrorwriting”.It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, “Leonardo was born lefthanded, but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writings, including from this drawing, we can see his righthanded hand writing is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibit at Italy's Uffizi Gallery. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing technique and his abilities in writing.
5.What does the writing on the back probably tell about?
A.A statement about the painting.
B.An agreement to produce a painting.
C.An introduction about Leonardo.
D.Something about the city of Florence.
6.What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia's words?
A.He did badly in righthanded handwriting.
B.He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
C.He could write with either of his hands.
D.He taught himself to write with his right hand.
7.What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research?
A.Unclear. B.Indifferent.
C.Positive. D.Doubtful.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。最近研究人员一直在研究达·芬奇的艺术品《风景8P》,并发现里面有两张图像,专家们比较了这两种笔迹样本,称它们都是达·芬奇所作。有人认为研究人员通过研究这些画,为我们了解莱昂纳多的绘画技巧和书写能力提供了一种新的方式。
5.B [细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement,probably to produce a work of art.(背面的文字从左往右讲述一份协议,可能是要创作一件艺术品)”可知,背面的文字可能讲述了一份创作一幅画的协议。故选B。]
6.C [推理判断题。根据第五段中塞西莉亚的话“Leonardo was born lefthanded,but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age.By looking at his writings,including from this drawing,we can see his righthanded handwriting is educated and well done.(莱昂纳多出生时是左撇子,但从小就被教导用右手写字。通过研究他的作品,包括这幅画,我们可以看到他的右手写字是受过教育的,做得很好)”可知,莱昂纳多能用两只手写字。故选C。]
7.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The gallery director,Eike Schmidt,said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing technique and his abilities in writing.(美术馆馆长艾克·施密特说,研究人员通过研究这幅画,为我们了解莱昂纳多的绘画技巧和书写能力提供了一种新的方式)”可知,艾克·施密特对这项研究的态度是积极肯定的。故选C。]

Few things feel as painful as rejection. Rejection means not being invited to a friend's party. Rejection means having your actions criticised. Rejection means failure when you're trying to sell your idea. Every “no”indicates a door closed to you. __1__
Developing your selfconfidence is the key. Rejection is simply the reaction or opinion of another person. __2__ Never think you are worthless or unlovable. What you should do is make a list of things you have done well or contributions you have made. Review them every day. Fill your nighttime and early morning brain with confidence.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。被人拒绝是一种痛苦的经历。文章教给读者被拒绝后的几个有效的回应方法。
1.E [空格上句“Every‘no’indicates a door closed to you.”讲到被别人拒绝意味着关上一扇门,也就是说是有消极意义的。因此培养有效的回应能力很重要。故选E。]
2.B [空格前讲到培养自信是关键,拒绝只是他人的回应或观点。这种拒绝没有你的合作便是无力的。故选B。]
3.C [空格前讲到最成功和自信的人被拒绝的时候也很难过,但是多数人不会告诉自己他们有多糟糕。因此建议你也要练习积极的自我对话。空格后面的builds yourself up和C项的positive是同义表达。故选C。]
4.G [空格后“Instead,they view it as an opportunity to further understand human relationships and inner strength.”意为“相反,他们认为这是一个进一步了解人类关系和内心意志力的机会”。instead表示转折。G项“那些转化拒绝的人明白,拒绝不是经历损失”符合语境。故选G。]
5.D [空格位于句首,起到总结本段的作用,空格后“You can feel the pain as you like,crying or locking yourself in,but don't let it become a longterm visitor.”讲到你可以感受它带来的痛苦,但是不要长期沉浸在其中。D项“关于拒绝你感受到不开心是很正常的”符合语境。故选D。]
