B.根据短文内容选择最恰当的答案。 (每题2分,共10分)
As one of the most celebrated landscape paintings in Chinese art history, A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains holds great cultural value for centuries. Created during the Northern Song Dynasty, this masterpiece was the work of Wang Ximeng, a talented young artist.
The painting is a long scroll (卷轴). It is over 11 meters long and 51.5 centimeters tall. Scrolls are a traditional Chinese art form. What makes this painting special is the colors Wang used. He took natural materials from rocks and mixed them with animal glue (胶水). These colors are so good that they still look bright after almost 900 years, even though the painting is easy to break.
In the painting, you can see the beauty from southern China. There are many mountains with sharp tops. Long rivers connect small villages, wooden bridges and fishing boats. You can also find people—some are farming, some are on boats, some are walking. They show how people lived happily with nature back then. This mix of natural beauty and daily life expresses the ancient Chinese idea of “unity (统一) between man and nature”. This means humans and nature are one and should help each other.
Today, this painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Museum workers keep it in a box in good temperature and humidity—too hot, too cold, or too wet would damage the old silk and colors. I think, because it is easy to break, the museum only shows it sometimes, but it still influences many modern artworks.
34.How old may Wang Ximeng be, when he created A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains?
A.8 B.18 C.48 D.58
35.Why is the masterpiece so special?
A.Wang drew many layers of mountains with sharp tops.
B.Wang painted the beautiful views from southern China
C.Wang used natural materials mixed with animal glues.
D.Wang showed how people lived happily with nature.
36.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The museum. B.The idea. C.The painting. D.The unity.
37.Why is the painting only shown sometimes?
A.It is too big to be shown often. B.It is very easy to be broken.
C.It is too special to be enjoyed. D.It is very popular with the public.
38.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Wang Ximeng: a Talented Artist. B.A Masterpiece: Unity of Nature and Humans.
C.Wang Ximeng: a Nature Master. D.A Masterpiece: Unity of the Art and Life
六、完形填空(共12分)
China is an ancient country with a long history and many amazing discoveries. One of the most important inventions that changed the world was the compass. For centuries, people around the world have been 39 this great invention from ancient China.
The earliest compass, known as “Sinan”, was invented during the Han Dynasty. It was a spoon-shaped piece of lodestone (a natural magnet) placed on a bronze plate. The handle of the spoon would always point 40 . This was a fantastic discovery at that time. Later, during the Song Dynasty, the compass was 41 . People began to use a steel needle which was rubbed with a lodestone to magnetise (使磁化) it. This needle was then placed on a straw in a bowl of water, and it could point south easily.
Before the compass, sailors often found it difficult to find their way on the open sea when the weather was bad and they couldn’t see the sun or stars. They were afraid of sailing too far and getting lost. The invention of the compass 42 all of this. It allowed sailors to know their direction in any weather. With the help of the compass, Chinese explorers like Zheng He could sail to faraway places.
The knowledge of the compass later 43 to the rest of the world through trade and travel. It played a key role in the Age of Exploration in Europe. It helped explorers like Christopher Columbus discover new lands. This great invention from China truly made long sea voyages and global exploration 44 . It connected different parts of the world and changed history forever.

七、任务型阅读(共10分)
What is art? This question has confused great thinkers for centuries. In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary defines art as the creation of objects, images, or music that are beautiful or express certain feelings. This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition.
Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture and applied art (实用美术), such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fine art is something that has a conceptual function (概念功能). He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don’t need to have.” This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful.
In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The artist Marcel Duchamp changed people’s understanding of what sculpture was by putting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (凳子) in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an artwork that required the public’s involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colourful sticker dots. She once said, “Everything an artist produces is art.”
Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive. Many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students.
Street art is also popular in different neighbourhoods around the world.
___________ This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work.
45.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
46.What does applied art require according to this passage?
47.When did artists begin to challenge the accepted idea of art?
48.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
49.What does the writer think of art? Please fill in the blanks.

As one of the most celebrated landscape paintings in Chinese art history, A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains holds great cultural value for centuries. Created during the Northern Song Dynasty, this masterpiece was the work of Wang Ximeng, a talented young artist.
The painting is a long scroll (卷轴). It is over 11 meters long and 51.5 centimeters tall. Scrolls are a traditional Chinese art form. What makes this painting special is the colors Wang used. He took natural materials from rocks and mixed them with animal glue (胶水). These colors are so good that they still look bright after almost 900 years, even though the painting is easy to break.
In the painting, you can see the beauty from southern China. There are many mountains with sharp tops. Long rivers connect small villages, wooden bridges and fishing boats. You can also find people—some are farming, some are on boats, some are walking. They show how people lived happily with nature back then. This mix of natural beauty and daily life expresses the ancient Chinese idea of “unity (统一) between man and nature”. This means humans and nature are one and should help each other.
Today, this painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Museum workers keep it in a box in good temperature and humidity—too hot, too cold, or too wet would damage the old silk and colors. I think, because it is easy to break, the museum only shows it sometimes, but it still influences many modern artworks.
34.How old may Wang Ximeng be, when he created A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains?
A.8 B.18 C.48 D.58
35.Why is the masterpiece so special?
A.Wang drew many layers of mountains with sharp tops.
B.Wang painted the beautiful views from southern China
C.Wang used natural materials mixed with animal glues.
D.Wang showed how people lived happily with nature.
36.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The museum. B.The idea. C.The painting. D.The unity.
37.Why is the painting only shown sometimes?
A.It is too big to be shown often. B.It is very easy to be broken.
C.It is too special to be enjoyed. D.It is very popular with the public.
38.Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Wang Ximeng: a Talented Artist. B.A Masterpiece: Unity of Nature and Humans.
C.Wang Ximeng: a Nature Master. D.A Masterpiece: Unity of the Art and Life
【答案】34.B 35.C 36.C 37.B 38.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国艺术史上的杰作《千里江山图》,包括其创作者、艺术特色、文化内涵以及保存现状。
34.推理判断题。根据“Created during the Northern Song Dynasty, this masterpiece was the work of Wang Ximeng, a talented young artist.”可知王希孟创作《千里江山图》时是一位年轻有才华的艺术家,结合选项推测最可能是18岁。故选B。
35.细节理解题。根据第二段中“What makes this painting special is the colors Wang used. He took natural materials from rocks and mixed these with animal glue.”可知,这幅画作的特别之处在于王希孟使用的颜色,他从岩石中提取天然材料,并与动物胶混合。故选C。
36.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Today, this painting is kept in the Palace Museum in Beijing. Museum workers keep it in a box in good temperature and humidity”可知这幅画保存在北京故宫博物院,博物馆工作人员把它放在一个温度和湿度良好的盒子里,由此可推测,此处it指代的是前文提到的“the painting”。故选C。
37.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Museum workers keep it in a box in good temperature and humidity—too hot, too cold, or too wet would damage the old silk and colors. I think though it is easy to break that museum only show it sometimes...”可知,博物馆工作人员将画作保存在温度和湿度适宜的盒子里,因为过热、过冷或过湿都会损坏古老的丝绸和颜色,且画作很容易破损,所以博物馆只偶尔展示它。故选B。
38.最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了中国艺术史上最著名的山水画之一《千里江山图》,包括其创作背景、艺术特色、文化内涵以及保存现状。文章第三段提到“This mix of natural beauty and daily life expresses the ancient Chinese idea of ‘unity between man and nature’.”,即这幅画作融合了自然美景和日常生活,表达了中国古代“天人合一”的思想。因此,选项B“杰作:自然与人类的统一”最符合文章主旨。故选B。

七、任务型阅读(共10分)
What is art? This question has confused great thinkers for centuries. In fact, there is disagreement about exactly what art is. Most of us would agree that Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is art, but what about a video game? One dictionary defines art as the creation of objects, images, or music that are beautiful or express certain feelings. This, however, could be regarded as too general a definition.
Art is usually divided into two areas: fine art, such as painting, music and sculpture and applied art (实用美术), such as fashion design, furniture making and gardening. According to Aristotle, fine art is something that has a conceptual function (概念功能). He noted that artists produced objects, drama and music which showed their emotions and ideas rather than just trying to offer a true image of nature. Andy Warhol, the American artist famous for his Pop Art in the 1960s, once said, “An artist produces things that people don’t need to have.” This is the biggest difference between fine and applied art. Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful.
In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art. The artist Marcel Duchamp changed people’s understanding of what sculpture was by putting a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (凳子) in 1913 and calling it art. In 2002, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama created an artwork that required the public’s involvement. In this work, visitors were asked to cover a white room that had white furniture and objects in it, with many colourful sticker dots. She once said, “Everything an artist produces is art.”
Today, we can see examples of art all around us which are not expensive. Many towns and cities have public art which can be enjoyed by all. Some museums, like the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, have no entrance fee. Others are free for children and students.
Street art is also popular in different neighbourhoods around the world.
___________ This idea may not work for all art, but perhaps we can agree that it is a goal towards which all artists should work.
45.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
46.What does applied art require according to this passage?
47.When did artists begin to challenge the accepted idea of art?
48.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
49.What does the writer think of art? Please fill in the blanks.
【答案】45.The two areas of art. 46.Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful. 47.In the twentieth/20th century. 48.The upside-down bicycle wheel on a stool. 49.Art can make our ordinary, everyday lives a little more special.
【导语】本文主要围绕 “艺术是什么” 这一核心问题展开,介绍了艺术的分类、不同时期艺术家对艺术概念的挑战,以及现代艺术的普及形式,最后表达了作者对艺术的看法。
45.第二段开篇即点明艺术通常分为纯艺术和实用美术两大领域,随后分别引用亚里士多德和安迪・沃霍尔的观点,阐述了两者的核心区别。因此答案是对本段核心内容的概括总结。
46.第二段最后一句直接给出原文信息:“Applied art requires an object to be functional as well as beautiful”,可直接提取作答。
47.第三段第一句明确指出时间信息:“In the twentieth century, however, artists began to challenge the accepted idea of art”,可直接提取作答。
48.第三段提到马塞尔・杜尚在 1913 年将自行车轮倒放在凳子上,并称之为 “it”。结合上下文,“it” 指代的就是他这件名为《自行车轮》的雕塑作品,即“a bicycle wheel upside down on a stool (the artwork created by Marcel Duchamp)”。
49.本题为开放性试题,需结合文章最后一段的主旨进行概括。文章提到街头艺术在全球流行,且最后一句表明“这是所有艺术家应该努力的目标”,结合前文对艺术普及化、大众化的描述,可总结出作者认为艺术应该是人人可欣赏、贴近生活、包容多元的,或艺术可以使我们平凡的日常生活变得更为特别等合理观点。
