【导语】本文讲述了小镇画家利奥鼓励一位害怕尝试画画的老人拿起画笔,老人最终爱上绘画并改变看待世界的方式的故事。
1.句意:他热爱风景画,更喜欢在户外创作,而不是待在室内。
stay动词原形;to stay动词不定式;stays动词第三人称单数。根据“prefers to work outdoors rather than...inside”可知,prefer to do A rather than do B是固定搭配,表示“更喜欢做A而不愿做B”,本空应该用动词原形。故选A。
2.句意:他认为艺术能帮助人们与自然和谐共处。
for为了;with和,与;on在……上面。根据“art can help people live in harmony...nature”可知,live in harmony with nature表示“与自然和谐共处”。故选B。
3.句意:一个阳光明媚的下午,他在河边画画时,看到一位老人静静地坐在树下。
to sit动词不定式;sitting动词现在分词;sit动词原形。根据“as he was painting by the river, he watched an old man...quietly under a tree”可知,利奥正在画画时,他看到老人正坐在树下。画画和坐的动作同时发生,本空应该用动词的现在分词形式。故选B。
4.句意:老人看上去很安详。
quietly安静地,副词;carefully仔细地,副词;peaceful安详的,形容词。根据“The man looked”可知,本空缺少形容词作表语。故选C。
5.句意:利奥走过去,决定和他分享自己的素描作品。
him代词宾格;his形容词性物主代词;himself反身代词。根据“share his sketch with”可知,本空缺少代词宾格作介词宾语。故选A。
6.句意:“你不必把任何东西都画得很完美,”利奥说。
something某物,常用于肯定句;nothing没有什么;anything任何东西,常用于否定句和疑问句。根据“You don’t need to paint...perfect”可知,否定句中用anything。故选C。
7.句意:无论谁看到利奥的作品,都说它们充满宁静。
Wherever无论哪里;Whoever无论谁;Whatever无论什么。根据“...sees Leo’s works says they are full of peace.”可知,本空缺少表示人物的名词或代词,whoever符合语境。故选B。
8.句意:这是如此有意义的一天,他决定开始学习艺术。
so如此,副词,修饰形容词和副词;such如此,副词,修饰名词;as如同,介词。根据“It was...a meaningful day that he decided to start learning art.”可知,本句是“such a+形容词+名词+that从句”句型,表示“如此……的……以至于……”。故选B。
9.句意:从那天起,老人不仅把利奥当作画家,更把他当作一位和蔼的老师,非常敬重他。
lucky幸运的,形容词;greatly非常地,副词;great伟大的,形容词。根据“the man has...respected Leo”可知,本空缺少副词修饰动词,表示老人“非常”敬重利奥。故选B。
10.句意:通过画画,他学会了以全新的方式看待世界。
Through通过;Without没有;For为了。根据“...drawing, he has learned to see the world in a new way.”可知,本空缺少表示方式的介词,本句表示“通过”画画。故选A。
