As I grew older,I studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art,deepening my exposure to painting from life.At the Maryland Institute College of Art,I majored in illustration,even though I had never worked as an illustrator.My artistic style,“Loose Realism”,developed organically over time.After graduating,I encountered a “quarter-life crisis”.At that time,the traditional gallery system was still dominant and social media hadn’t yet emerged.I’d received training at school,but I didn’t know how to translate that into a professional job and even whether to choose it in the real world. So,I got a series of random jobs,moved to Oregon,and realised I hadn’t painted within seven years.I attempted to create some occasionally during these years,but failed,as I believed that excellent art creations had to be big and figurative.I’d prepared large canvases(画布) but they became too precious to paint on,keeping me away from painting for too long.Actually,that was not the case. Then,I discovered the daily painting movement and started with still life,realizing its possibilities.I started teaching in 2013,after local shows led people to ask why I didn’t teach.My students introduced me to fresh viewpoints and challenged me to think critically about every colour choice.Their attitudes and problems transformed my approach to painting,shifting it from a mechanical routine to a more mindful and intentional way.Teaching,both in person and online,has been satisfying. If I had changed my art journey,I would have focused earlier on what brought me joy. 1.How did the private teacher influence the author? A.By requiring her to create artworks. B.By enabling her to enter an art school. C.By leading her to a specialized art path. D.By motivating her to become a teacher. 2.What problem did the author run into after graduation? A.She was disappointed at the job. B.She was unused to social media. C.She was regretful about learning art. D.She was unsure of the future career. 3.Why did the author stop painting for seven years? A.She tried to avoid failure. B.She lost interest in painting. C.She misunderstood great art. D.She had much work to handle. 4.What did the students inspire the author to do? A.Focus on joyful things. B.Teaching in various ways. C.Stick to painting every day. D.Turn to thoughtful practise. Ⅴ.七选五 (2026贵州贵阳高二检测) How to Appreciate Art Art can often seem inaccessible because it has been stereotyped(老套的) in popular culture as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy.　1　.Anyone can come to appreciate art with a little bit of time and effort.Here are some helpful methods to appreciate art.  Understand the historical context of the time when the art was produced.　2　,and this can give you a window into their unique perspective.Throughout history,powerful groups and individuals often asked artists to create works that promoted their ideas.This practise influenced who the art was designed for.  　3　.If you’re looking at a painting,knowing what genre it belongs to can be helpful.Genres are essentially categories that are used to classify art.In painting,the established and well-known genres are landscape,portrait,genre paintings(which are paintings of scenes from ordinary life),history,and still life.  Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece.Art movements were surges(增长) in popularity of certain ways of creating art.　4　.They may be all in the same region.They may all have a similar style or subject matter.Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist might have made certain choices.  Read up on the life and perspective of the artist.Learning a bit about the artist who created a piece can help shed light on it in a variety of ways.　5　—why they made certain artistic decisions,or chose to make the work at all in the first place.  A.Find out the genre of the painting B.Predict the creator of the picture C.It can help you understand their actions D.However,this couldn’t be further from the truth E.An art school is basically just a group of artists F.Artists often create works about major historical events G.Normally,popular items are essential inspirations for them Ⅵ.完形填空 Art is my favourite subject because I enjoy drawing.In school,there are only four 　1　 classes per week,which I find not enough.During an art lesson,I notice that time 　2　 to fly by.When I’m drawing 　3　,eighty minutes feels like eight minutes.One moment I am taking out my art materials,next the teacher is 　4　 us to hand in our work.  Art is my favourite subject because it can bring 　5　 responses.For example,if I was happy,I would draw a colourful picture of myself.  I especially enjoy drawing cartoons.This is one area where my 　6　 is regularly exercised.Sometimes I draw things that amaze my classmates.I also love to draw still life in colour.　7　 is really an art and I have developed considerable skills in it,much to the disbelief of my classmates.As I have had so much 　8　 in colouring,I have a huge advantage over the 　9　 of the class.  　10　,I must say that I always feel good when I am drawing something.Perhaps this is why I 　11　 art so much.It’s because I get a good feeling every time I start drawing.Drawing is a(n) 　12　 exit for self-expression for me,so the feeling is 　13　.There is nothing to remember or practise in art as there is in the other subjects.All one has to 　14　 with art is follow one’s feelings,and the outcome is always 　15　.  1.A.music

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位艺术家的成长经历,包括童年艺术启蒙、求学过程、职业迷茫期、七年停画的原因以及通过教学重新发现绘画意义的过程。 1.C　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,这位私人教师引导作者走上专门的艺术道路。故选C项。 2.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After graduating,I encountered a ‘quarter-life crisis’.At that time,the traditional gallery system was still dominant and social media hadn’t yet emerged.I’d received training at school,but I didn’t know how to translate that into a professional job and even whether to choose it in the real world.”可知,作者毕业后对未来的职业感到不确定。故选D项。 3.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I attempted to create some occasionally during these years,but failed,as I believed that excellent art creations had to be big and figurative.I’d prepared large canvases but they became too precious to paint on,keeping me away from painting for too long.Actually,that was not the case.”可知,作者停止作画长达七年是因为她误解了伟大的艺术。故选C项。 4.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Their attitudes and problems transformed my approach to painting,shifting it from a mechanical routine to a more mindful and intentional way.”可知,学生们促使作者开始进行深入思考并付诸实践。故选D项。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对“艺术欣赏是精英专属”的刻板印象,提出任何人都可以通过努力来欣赏艺术,并提供了几个实用的方法:了解历史背景、识别绘画类型、学习艺术流派以及研究艺术家生平。 1.D　上文“Art can often seem inaccessible because it has been stereotyped in popular culture as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy.”描述了艺术在流行文化中被贴上的“精英专属”的刻板印象。D选项“然而,这与事实相去甚远”与上文构成强烈的转折关系,直接否定了上文提到的刻板印象,表明这种观点是完全错误的。下文“Anyone can come to appreciate art with a little bit of time and effort.”则是在D选项否定刻板印象后,提出的正面、包容性的观点。D选项起到了破旧立新的关键作用。故选D项。 2.F　小标题“Understand the historical context of the time when the art was produced.”提出了第一条建议。F选项“艺术家经常创作关于重大历史事件的作品”紧接小标题之后,说明了为何要了解历史背景的一个具体原因:因为艺术家常常将重大历史事件作为创作题材。下文“and this can give you a window into their unique perspective.”中的this正是指代F选项的内容(艺术家经常以历史事件为创作题材),从而理解艺术家的视角。F选项是具体阐述“历史背景”重要性的第一步。故选F项。 3.A　下文“If you’re looking at a painting...,history,and still life.”详细介绍了绘画的类型(genre)及其具体分类。A选项“找出这幅画的类型”是对下文的概括,点明了本段的核心建议。该句可以作为本段的小标题,与上下文其他段落结构(小标题+具体解释)保持一致。故选A项。 4.E　上文“Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece.Art movements were surges in popularity of certain ways of creating art.”引入了“艺术运动”和“艺术流派”这两个概念来解释艺术家创作风格。E选项“一个艺术流派基本上就是一群艺术家”具体解释了什么是“art school(艺术流派)”,将其定义为“一群艺术家”。下文“They may be all in the same region.They may all have a similar style or subject matter.”则是对“a group of artists”这一概念的进一步特征描述,句中的They指代的就是E选项中的“a group of artists”。E选项起到了承上启下、具体解释“art school”的作用。故选E项。 5.C　上文“Read up on the life and perspective of the artist.Learning a bit about the artist who created a piece can help shed light on it in a variety of ways.”提出了通过了解艺术家生平来理解其作品的观点。C选项“它可以帮助你理解他们的行为”顺承上文,具体说明了这种了解能带来何种帮助,句中It指代上文的“Learning a bit about the artist”,而“their actions”则对应下文破折号后的解释“为什么他们作出某些艺术决定,或者首先选择创作这件作品”。C选项概括了下文即将要解释的具体内容。故选C项。 Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是作者为什么喜欢艺术。 1.D　根据上文“Art is my favourite subject”和下文“which I find not enough”可知,作者最喜欢的是艺术,每周只有四节艺术课,作者觉得不够。故选D项。 2.B　根据下文“to fly by”可知,作者注意到时间好像过得飞快。故选B项。 3.A　根据下文“One moment I am taking out my art materials”可知,作者在画某个东西。故选A项。 4.C　根据下文“us to hand in our work”可知,老师叫作者交作品。ask sb to do sth意为“要求某人做某事”。故选C项。 5.D　根据下文“For example,if I was happy,I would draw a colourful picture of myself.”可知,艺术能带给作者在情感上的反应。故选D项。 6.B　根据下文“Sometimes I draw things that amaze my classmates.”可知,艺术可以让作者发挥创造力,创造出令同学惊讶的作品。故选B项。 7.A　根据下文“As I have had so much 　　　in colouring”可知,此处是说上色是一门艺术。故选A项。  8.C　根据下文“I have a huge advantage over the 　　　of the class”可知,作者在上色方面练习了很多,所以很有优势。故选C项。  9.A　根据上文“As I have had so much 　　　in colouring,I have a huge advantage over”可知,作者练习得多了,就比班上其他的同学有优势。故选A项。  10.D　根据下文“I must say that I always feel good when I am drawing something”可知,空后是作者最后想要说的事情。故选D项。 11.B　根据第一段的“Art is my favourite subject”可知,作者喜欢艺术。故选B项。 12.B　根据上文“if I was happy,I would draw a colourful picture of myself”可知,作者觉得画画是一种自然的自我表达方式。故选B项。
