[培优2] 高考语篇培素养——Topic:改进自我
◆真题文本
◆真题再做
(2024·北京卷)When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home.In primary school, I learned to write using chalks.Writing seemed to be another form of drawing.I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject.Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it.For the art Olevel exam I had to present an oil painting.I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass.I failed, with a low grade.I'd been overconfident.Now I'd been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories.Still, I went to exhibitions often.I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling(乱画).In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.However, I couldn't let myself have a go at actually doing it.Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo(禁忌) high form I wasn't allowed to practice.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting.The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me.It was a form of energy, giving me back something I'd lost.Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours.Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decadeslong taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink.I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends.It all feels free and easy.Unanxious.This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute.I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much.That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.

1.C [推理判断题。根据第二段“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass.I failed, with a low grade.I'd been overconfident.Now I'd been declared talentless.(我觉得很难,但仍希望能通过测试。我没有通过,而且成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在,我被宣布为毫无(油画)天赋的人了。)”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知,作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁。]
