Among the millions of paintings that are created and shown in galleries and museums all around the world, a very small number of them go beyond time and make history.Below are some examples.
The Persistence of Memory — Salvador Dali.Painted in 1931, The Persistence of Memory is one of the most recognizable pieces in art history.This work is known to make people reflect on their way of life and the way they spend their time, and it is also thought that Albert Einstein’s well⁃known Theory of Relativity gave Dali the idea for this wonderful painting.

An Art Class
When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists” — the kids who hadn’t really done art before — worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor.
It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at — charcoal drawing. She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper.
One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed and was good at — and now Sophia was going to outshine her again? Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room.
“Hello class,” Miss Grace said. “We’ll continue to work on the project today. What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with?”
Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it. It was a mess! For a brief moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s.
But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. “I ... I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison.”
Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was shocked. “I’m not talented ... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!”
Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.”
“I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said.
“Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said.
Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up ...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper.
Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally.
Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.

Finger painting is an art that most people have experienced in childhood.But there are still people who know little about this art form.Finger painting is a simple activity that involves dipping (浸;蘸) fingers in paints and then using fingers to create objects and shapes on a piece of paper.All you need is a table at elbow height, a few sheets of plain paper, and a few bottles of watercolor.
When engaging kids in this activity, one should use non⁃toxic (无毒的) paints only.If not available in the market readily, non⁃toxic paints can be made at home easily.Preferably, the paints should also be eatable.Finger paints come in bright colors and can be purchased relatively inexpensively.Adults can save money by making their own finger paints using a mixture of cornstarch, food coloring and water.
It is a common fallacy that finger painting is for children alone; rather it’s an activity that can be enjoyed by adults in equal measure.Adults can use rubber gloves while painting to avoid dirty marks of paints on their hands.When a group of people are gathered for an exercise of finger painting, it can be a great way of creating a bond between the group.Art and painting parties are a popular concept in the West.Organizations can also use finger painting as a team⁃building activity by making participants paint together on a large canvas.
There’s no limit to the expression of feelings in finger painting.All one needs to do is go all out and put all their feelings on a piece of paper by dipping their fingers in paints.While painting, one may unconsciously choose colors that reflect their emotions.For example, you may choose the color red to express your anger or green to express hope.At times you may be confused, and the painting will help you describe your confused state of mind.Once you get your emotions on paper, you are likely to feel relieved.
So what are you waiting for? Plan a finger⁃painting session soon, and experience the joy.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手指画这种艺术活动的特点和优势。
8.What can we know about finger painting?
A.Most people loved it in their childhood.
B.The preparation for it is quite difficult.
C.Kids learn it much faster than adults.
D.Finger painting is easy to carry out.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Finger painting is a simple activity ...create objects and shapes on a piece of paper.”可知,手指画很容易画。
9.What should people do when there are kids involved in finger painting?
A.Prepare safe paints for them.
B.Have parents stay with them.
C.Use paints of bright colors.
D.Buy inexpensive paints.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When engaging kids in this activity, one should use non⁃toxic (无毒的) paints only.”可知,当有孩子参与到手指画中时,人们应该为他们准备安全的颜料。
10.What does the underlined word “fallacy” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Goal. B.Sense.
C.Principle. D.Misunderstanding.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“rather it’s an activity that can be enjoyed by adults in equal measure”可知,真实的情况是成年人也可以画手指画,所以“finger painting is for children alone(只有孩子才会画手指画)”是错误的看法,因此画线词fallacy的意思是“误解”,和D项“Misunderstanding”意思相近。
11.What does the example in paragraph 4 show?
A.Finger painters can find artistic inspiration from emotions.
B.Finger painting provides freedom of self⁃expression.
C.Finger painting shows people’s emotions correctly.
D.Finger painters have a wide choice of colors.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“There’s no limit to the expression of feelings ...choose colors that reflect their emotions.”可知,手指画可以让人表达自己的情绪,然后接着举出例子“For example, you may choose the color red to express your anger or green to express hope.”来说明手指画如何帮助人表达情绪,因此第四段的例子说明了手指画提供了自我表达的自由。
D
In many people’s eyes, artist Mark Rothko’s enormous paintings are nothing more than masses of color.Yet, a painting can be worth nearly 100 million.Besides, Pablo Picasso’s twisted faces attract some viewers but terrify others.
Why does the phenomenon happen? The answer may lie in our brain networks.Researchers have now developed an algorithm that can predict art preference by analyzing how a person’s brain breaks down visual information and decides whether a painting is “good”.The findings show for the first time how basic features of a painting combine with human judgment to give art value in our minds.
Most people, including researchers, consider art preference to be various, says Anjan Chatterjee, a neurologist (神经科医生) at the University of Pennsylvania who was not involved in the study.In some cases, personal preference is rooted in biology.For instance, sugary foods help us survive. And people tend to share similar standards of beauty when it comes to human faces and landscapes.However, when it comes to art, we seem to care about and value relatively arbitrary (任意的) things, according to Chatterjee.
To figure out how the brain forms value judgments about art, neuroscientist Kiyohito ligaya and his colleagues first asked more than 1,300 volunteers on the website to rate a selection of 825 paintings from four Western types including impressionism, cubism, abstract art and color field painting.Volunteers were all over the age of 18, but researchers didn’t give exact information about their familiarity with art or their ethnic or national origin.
The researchers revealed that paintings preferred by the same groups of people tended to share certain visual characteristics.These characteristics all fell into two categories:“Low⁃level” characteristics, like contrast and color, were intrinsic (固有的) to an image; “High⁃level” characteristics, like the emotion a painting brought about, required human understanding.Once the method was trained, it could analyze these characteristics in new paintings and accurately predict which works a person would like.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。研究人员调查发现,人们对不同艺术作品的评价差异与人们的大脑网络结构有关。
12.What do the cases in paragraph 1 mainly indicate?
A.The value of different works of art.
B.The characteristics of different artists.
C.The importance of facial appearances.
D.The differences in people’s appreciation of beauty.
解析:选D 推理判断题。 根据第一段的描述及第二段的分析可知,第一段的两个例子主要是用来说明人们对美的感知不同。
13.Which of the following ideas may Anjan Chatterjee support?
A.People’s preference is mainly rooted in biology.
B.People usually share common feelings towards scenery.
C.Researchers’ art preference is different from others’.
D.Art works have fewer arbitrary things to value.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“people tend to share similar standards of beauty when it comes to human faces and landscapes”可知,Anjan Chatterjee认为人们对于风景的感受可能是相同的。
14.Which of the following factors was taken into account during the study?
A.The identity of the participants.
B.The background of the paintings.
C.The wide range of paintings.
D.The national origin of the participants.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“ ...a selection of 825 paintings from four Western types including impressionism, cubism, abstract art and color field painting”可知,研究中考虑了不同类型的绘画作品。
15.What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The findings of the study.
B.The researchers’ different viewpoints.
C.The process of the study.
D.The researchers’ prediction for related research.
解析:选A 段落大意题。根据最后一段中的“The researchers revealed that paintings preferred by the same groups of people ...”可知,本段主要总结研究发现。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays people will say that being an artist should be a temporary dream, something only a select few can do. 16 It isn’t just a painting or a song, but an expression of emotion that cannot be felt through just words themselves.
A craft of imagination can be more important than a craft of knowledge, and it is absolutely possible for the two to be combined.A piece of work isn’t just something created without discipline or training. 17 An artist needs to learn how to complete the basics like a master before they can add in their own emotions and change the painting to be their own.
18 This is a great quote for all artists in the sense that each piece of art is different, but inspirations are shared.Students are taught the same thing over and over again, which is good.However, by teaching them to accept new ways of finding solutions or solving their issues, 19
There are schools who want to take out the different forms of art found in public schools. 20 Every person needs a way to allow them to release stress in a healthy way, a way that can be shared with others or kept to themselves.If art, music is taken out of the school systems, then how are students supposed to learn about alternative ways to express themselves?
A.a student’s horizon can be expanded.
B.“Art is theft” was said by Pablo Picasso.
C.students can express themselves well in speech classes.
D.Obviously, they are not fully aware about what art means.
E.It is the emotion as well as the training within the painting.
F.Unfortunately, this can hurt a student more than help them.
G.Thus, the importance of art education can never be too emphasized.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术是情感的表达。每一件艺术作品是不同的,但是灵感是可以共享的。艺术让学生拓宽视野。

In a house far from the city lived John and his mother.John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest.In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it.Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees.Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath⁃taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school.Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died.Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry.His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist.“The profession of an artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say.But as each day passed, John’s dream became more intense.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury.John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice.Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing.He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft.With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day, John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away.He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes.He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.
参考范文:
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.Hastily, he bought paper and brushes for painting, and then dashed to the competition.After signing up for it, he was given the task.It was his time.He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him.After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him.Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry.It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money.As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation.Knowing the truth, she felt her eyes well up with tears.Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him.But John was happy, not only because he was awarded a lot of money for his work, but also because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire.
