While helping my grandpa clean the attic, I discovered a dusty wooden box. “What’s this, Grandpa?” I asked. He smiled and opened it 1 . “These are my sketchbooks from when I was your age,” he said. Inside were pages filled with wonderful pencil drawings-portraits of people, sketches of birds, and views of our neighbourhood. Each one looked alive, full of feeling and light. I had always thought of Grandpa as just a retired postman, but here was proof he was also an artist! “I didn’t know you could draw!” I said 2 . “I loved art when I was young,” he explained. “But I needed a job to support my family. Still, I never 3 seeing the world like an artist.” He taught me to look closely at things—to 4 how light falls on surfaces and how shadows change throughout the day. “Most people just look,” he said, “but artists really see.” That afternoon, Grandpa showed me how to draw a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table. 5 , my lines were messy and the shapes were wrong. But he patiently taught me to measure with my eyes and break objects into basic forms. “Remember,” he said, “every artist was first a beginner. What matters isn’t creating a perfect picture, but 6 what you see in your own way.” When my parents came to pick me up that evening, I showed them my drawing. They were 7 what I’d learned in one afternoon. “That’s wonderful!” my mother said. Then she turned to Grandpa. “You should teach an art class at the community centre. Many people would love to learn from 8 .” Grandpa looked at his old sketchbooks, then at my 9 face. “You know,” he said, “that might not be a bad idea. Maybe it’s never too late to share your passion with others.” That rainy day became the most wonderful art lesson I had ever had—not because I learned to draw perfectly, but because I discovered that artists can be 10 , and art can be found in the most unexpected places. 1.

D 【导语】本文讲述了作者在一个雨天帮爷爷整理阁楼时，意外发现爷爷年轻时的绘画手稿，得知爷爷不仅是退休邮递员，还是一位热爱艺术的人。爷爷耐心教作者画画，最终作者明白了艺术家无处不在，艺术藏在生活的意外之处的道理。 1. 句意：他笑了笑，然后小心翼翼地打开了它。 根据前文提到的“a dusty wooden box”，以及爷爷对这个盒子的重视，可知爷爷是小心地打开，carefully（小心地）符合语境；quickly（快速地）、suddenly（突然地）、nervously（紧张地）均不符合开旧盒子的动作逻辑。 2. 句意：“我不知道你会画画！”我惊讶地说。 作者一直以为爷爷只是邮递员，突然发现他是艺术家，感到非常惊讶，in surprise（惊讶地）符合语境；by mistake（错误地）、on purpose（故意地）、with doubt（怀疑地）均不符合作者此时的情绪。 3. 句意：但我需要一份工作来养家。不过，我从未停止过像艺术家一样看世界。 never stop doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“从未停止做某事”，符合爷爷一直保留艺术情怀的语境；began（开始）、enjoyed（享受）、tried（尝试）均无法表达“从未放弃观察”的含义。 4. 句意：他教我要近距离地观察事物——去注意光线如何落在物体表面，以及一天中影子如何变化。 爷爷教作者如何观察事物，notice（注意到、留意）符合语境；draw（画）、imagine（想象）、forget（忘记）均与“观察光线变化”的动作不符，故排除。 5. 句意：起初，我的线条很乱，形状也不对。 后文提到“But he patiently taught me...”，说明刚开始作者做得不好，At first（起初）符合时间顺序；After all（毕竟）、As a result（结果）、By the way（顺便说一下）均不符合语境。 6. 句意：重要的不是画出一幅完美的画，而是用你自己的方式表达你所看到的。 express what you see意为“表达你所看到的内容”，符合艺术创作的核心；hiding（隐藏）、copying（复制）、repeating（重复）均不符合创作的主旨。 7. 句意：他们对我一下午学到的东西感到惊讶。 根据后文妈妈说的“That’s wonderful!”，可知父母对作者的画作感到惊喜，amazed at（对……感到惊讶）符合语境；worried about（担心）、familiar with（熟悉）、interested in（感兴趣）均无法体现“惊喜”的程度。 8. 句意：很多人会喜欢向你学习。 此处指代爷爷，妈妈对爷爷说“很多人会喜欢向你学习”，用宾格you；yours（你的，名词性物主代词）、yourself（你自己，反身代词）、your（你的，形容词性物主代词）均不符合“learn from sb.”（向某人学习）的结构要求。 9. 句意：爷爷看了看他的旧素描本，然后看了看我兴奋的脸。 作者因为学到了新东西且得到父母认可，心情是兴奋的，excited（兴奋的）符合语境；tired（累的）、peaceful（平静的）、confused（困惑的）均不符合作者此时的情绪。 10. 句意：那个雨天成了我学过的最美妙的艺术课——不是因为我学会了完美画画，而是因为我发现艺术家可以是任何人，艺术可以在最意想不到的地方被找到。 文章开头爷爷是退休邮递员，也是艺术家，说明艺术家无处不在，anybody（任何人）符合主旨；anywhere（任何地方）、any time（任何时间）、anything（任何事）均不符合“人”的主体范围。 Passage 3 Creativity means thinking in new and different ways. It helps us come up with 1 ideas and make wonderful things. We can show creativity in many areas of life, such as drawing, painting, writing stories, acting in plays, dancing or even building with blocks. 2 , creativity is not just about art. It is also about finding solutions to problems. When we think creatively, we discover better methods to complete everyday tasks. A very important part of creativity is imagination. When we use our imagination, we can make up stories, design new objects and explore exciting ideas. We become more creative when we try new activities, ask questions and stay 3 . When we try new things, not everything goes as we expect, but each try teaches us something new. Making 4 is also valuable because errors help us learn and try again in a better way. Creativity makes our lives more fun and interesting. It allows us to show our 5 and share our thoughts in special ways. For example, when we paint a picture, we can show whether we feel happy, sad or excited through the colours and shapes we choose. Everyone has creativity inside them, but we need to 6 to make it stronger. Reading, playing, travelling and discovering new things can help us become more creative. The more we use our imagination, the 7 our experiences become. Being creative is a wonderful 8 . It helps us see the world from different points of view and solve problems with joy and confidence.

D 【导语】本文主要讲述了创造力的含义与重要性。 1. 句意：它能帮助我们想出新鲜的想法，创造出美好的事物。 上文提到创造力是“用新的、不同的方式思考”，对应此处指“想出新鲜的新想法”，fresh符合语义。main主要的、strange奇怪的、crazy疯狂的，均与上下文不符。 2. 句意：然而，创造力并不只和艺术有关。 前文讲创造力体现在绘画写作等艺术领域，后文转折提出“创造力不只和艺术有关”，however表转折，符合逻辑。 3. 句意：当我们尝试新活动、提问、保持好奇心，我们就会变得更有创造力。 前文提到“尝试新活动、问问题”，这些都是好奇心的表现，stay curious“保持好奇心”符合培养创造力的语境。 4. 句意：犯错同样很有价值，因为错误能帮助我们学习，并用更好的方式再次尝试。 后文明确提到“错误帮助我们学习、再尝试”，make mistakes是固定搭配，意为“犯错误”，符合语义。 5. 句意：它让我们可以表达自己的情感，并用特别的方式分享想法。 后文举例说画画可以通过色彩形状表达开心、悲伤等情绪，此处指创造力让我们表达自身感受，feelings“情感”符合。 6. 句意：每个人内心都有创造力，但我们需要不断练习才能让它变得更强。 每个人天生都有创造力，但需要练习才能让它变强，后文提到的阅读、探索新事物都是练习创造力的方式，practise“练习”符合。 7. 句意：我们越常运用想象力，人生经历就会越丰富。 越多使用想象力，个人经历就会越丰富，richer“丰富的”修饰experience“经历”符合语义。 8. 句意：拥有创造力是一份美好的天赋。 此处指富有创造力是一种很棒的天赋，gift“天赋”符合句意，idea主意、habit习惯、signal信号，均不符合逻辑。 9. 句意：创造力无处不在—— 在艺术里、科学里，也在我们的日常生活中。 后文列举了艺术、科学、日常生活都存在创造力，说明创造力无处不在，everywhere“到处”符合。 10. 句意：当我们相信自己、不断探索新想法时，就能取得了不起的成就，让世界变得更美好。 只有相信自己、不断探索才能取得成就，believe in oneself是固定搭配，意为“相信自己”，符合语义逻辑。agree with同意、depend on依靠、light up点亮，均不符合上下文逻辑。 二、选词填空 Passage 4 beat，sudden，a，because，my，clean，minute，come，branch，in It was reported that one of last year’s most powerful storms killed at least four people and hurt at least 95 others in southern China.
