Time really flies! Four years ago, I was so 1 because I was too short and couldn’t join the basketball team. Basketball was 2 important to me at that time. I felt 3 then, but now I can’t help laughing when I think of those words in my diary. I was really sad about that failure. My friends were worried about me.

He put canvases, paints, and brushes in front of me. Then, he showed me how to mix colours and use different materials. Those were the best days—when we let our imaginations run wild and paint whatever came to mind. My father’s love for art started in a tiny village. Even though he didn’t have much money, he never let that stop him. He saved money to buy paints and coloured pencils. Sometimes, he even drew on the walls of his home! At the age of 15, he took a big risk and moved to America alone. After years of hard work, he finally became a US citizen. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. But things varied when I started looking at my father’s amazing paintings and art on Instagram. Suddenly, I felt like my simple drawings weren’t good enough. His landscapes looked so real, while my drawings seemed plain. I looked through my sketchbooks and found something wrong with every single picture. I used to love art more than anything, but I started thinking I just wasn’t talented. Instead of practising more, I decided to quit drawing. My father quickly noticed that I wasn’t drawing or painting as much any more. One day, he said, “Mary, I think you should try out for the art school. When I was your age, I dreamed of having a chance to study art, but it never happened.” His words touched me deeply. So, for the next few months, I got busy. I picked out my best drawings, fixed up the ones that needed work, and filled my portfolio (画夹) with all my art. It wasn’t really easy. But when I was in the face of difficulties, I kept thinking about my father’s story. Looking back at my pictures later, I could see how much I had improved since then. To my surprise, I got into the art school! Walking into that place was like entering a whole new world. Everyone there loved art as much as I did. The teachers didn’t just teach us to draw better. They taught us to be proud of our unique styles. I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I’m not afraid to share it. Thanks to my father, I’ve found my love for art again and learned to be confident in my skills. 1．The meaning of the underlined word “varied” is close to ________. A．changed B．developed C．gathered D．formed 2．In paragraph 2, Mary introduced her father’s experience to ________. A．encourage readers to learn from her father B．show her father’s sad childhood to readers C．tell the roots of her father’s influence on her D．explain why her father loved art very much 3．新考向 [事件排序]Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Mary decided to quit drawing. b. Mary was brave to share her art with others. c. Mary’s father moved to America alone. d. Mary’s father asked her to try out for the art school. e. Mary learned to mix colours and use different materials. A．c-a-e-d-b B．c-e-a-d-b C．e-c-a-b-d D．e-c-a-d-b 4．Which of the following would be the best title? A．The Art of Fatherhood: How My Dad Taught Me to Paint B．From Doubt to Confidence: My Journey in Art School C．My Father’s Dream: A Story of Hope and Hard Work D．The Colours of Childhood: Memories of Painting with Dad 八、七选五 Parents are the first teachers in your life. They always love and help you. But sometimes you may have a fight with them. 1 Enjoy life together. You should spend more time with your parents. 2 Go shopping together, read together or go to the movies together. Show more care. 3 For example, you can make a meal for them. I completely believe it can make your parents happy. 4 When you are in trouble or meet some upset things, you can ask your parents for help, they will tell you what to do with your problems. Try your best. Your parents never ask you always to be the best, but they’ll be happy to see you working hard. 5 Make sure you keep this advice in your mind, and you’ll get on with your parents. You need to remember: they love you much more than you love them. A．Ask for help. B．So try to get higher achievements. C．You may disagree with each other. D．You can’t get on well with your friends. E．Little things may bring a lot to your parents. F．Here is some advice to help you be happy with your parents.

He put canvases, paints, and brushes in front of me. Then, he showed me how to mix colours and use different materials. Those were the best days—when we let our imaginations run wild and paint whatever came to mind. My father’s love for art started in a tiny village. Even though he didn’t have much money, he never let that stop him. He saved money to buy paints and coloured pencils. Sometimes, he even drew on the walls of his home!

As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me.

I picked out my best drawings, fixed up the ones that needed work, and filled my portfolio (画夹) with all my art. It wasn’t really easy. But when I was in the face of difficulties, I kept thinking about my father’s story. Looking back at my pictures later, I could see how much I had improved since then. To my surprise, I got into the art school! Walking into that place was like entering a whole new world. Everyone there loved art as much as I did. The teachers didn’t just teach us to draw better. They taught us to be proud of our unique styles. I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I’m not afraid to share it. Thanks to my father, I’ve found my love for art again and learned to be confident in my skills. 1．The meaning of the underlined word “varied” is close to ________.

Suddenly, I felt like my simple drawings weren’t good enough.”可知，此处指事情发生了变化。“varied”与“changed”（改变）意思最接近。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“My father’s love for art started in a tiny village ... At the age of 15, he took a big risk and moved to America alone. After years of hard work, he finally became a US citizen.”可知，作者介绍父亲的经历是为了说明父亲对自己产生影响的由来。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“At the age of 15, he took a big risk and moved to America alone”、“Then, he showed me how to mix colours and use different materials”、“I decided to quit drawing”、“Mary, I think you should try out for the art school”、“I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I’m not afraid to share it”可知，事件的正确顺序为：父亲独自赴美(c)→父亲教作者调色和使用材料(e)→作者决定放弃绘画(a)→父亲鼓励作者报考艺术学校(d)→作者敢于分享作品(b)。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。根据“he showed me how to mix colours and use different materials”和“As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies ... Mary, I think you should try out for the art school ...Thanks to my father, I’ve found my love for art again and learned to be confident in my skills.”可知，A选项最能全面概括全文主旨。故选A。 八、七选五 Parents are the first teachers in your life.
