Yongyu’s efforts in woodcut art.”可知,“Forceful Cuts”展览项目可持续到9月17日,因此在8月6日时可欣赏到Woodcuts即木刻艺术。故选A项。 2.C　细节理解题。根据Art into soul部分中“Xu is showing dozens of his oil paintings.Kovalchuk,who chairs the Russian artists association,brings 24 sculptures.The show compares the cultural traditions and individual concerns of the two cultures.”可知,在上海艺术博物馆可以欣赏到两种不同文化背景的展品。故选C项。 3.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Forceful Cuts,now running at the Art Museum of China,through to September 17,shows the late artist Huang Yongyu’s efforts in woodcut art.”,第二段中“Xu is showing dozens of his oil paintings.Kovalchuk,who chairs the Russian artists association,brings 24 sculptures.”、第三段中的“The use of raw lacquer to better preserve objects,such as bowls,and meanwhile decorate life can date back to the Neolithic culture in China.”以及第四段中的“Over 240 paintings,prints,sculptures and seal engravings are on show at the gallery of the China National Academy of Painting until July 8,offering a look of the works of academy artists all over the country.”可知,文章分别介绍了四个艺术展览,包括木刻、油画与雕塑、漆器艺术等。它们都属于文化艺术范畴,因此可能出现在报纸的“文化”栏目。故选B项。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位掌握传统技艺的匠人赵乙屾的木刻雕版生涯及其对技艺的追求。 4.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day,which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.”可知,赵乙屾的工作需要付出大量的努力和时间。故选A项。 5.B　细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,赵乙屾对中国古籍的兴趣使他成为一名木刻雕版匠人。故选B项。 6.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day,which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of

Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是中国印章的历史、文化意义及其在不同历史时期和场合中的应用。 1.fondness　考查名词。special是形容词,修饰名词,fond的名词是fondness,是不可数名词,意为“喜欢”。故填fondness。 2.which　考查定语从句。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词seals是物,因此空格处用关系代词which。故填which。 3.when　考查定语从句。空格处引导限制性定语从句,从句中缺少状语,先行词8,000 years ago是时间,因此空格处用关系副词when。故填when。 4.being stolen　考查非谓语动词。from是介词,其后跟动词-ing形式作宾语,them与steal之间是被动关系,表达“财物被偷”,因此空格处用动词-ing形式的被动语态being stolen。故填being stolen。 5.was founded　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。由began可知,句子时态用一般过去时;the first dynasty与found之间是被动关系,因此句子用一般过去时的被动语态;主语the first dynasty是单数,be动词用was。故填was founded。 6.representing　考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是was called,空格处用非谓语动词,represent与其逻辑主语Xi之间是主动关系,因此空格处用动词-ing形式,故填representing。 7.made　考查非谓语动词。have sth done意为“使某物被……”,Xi与make之间是被动关系,因此空格处用动词-ed形式作宾语补足语。故填made。 8.for　考查介词。for the same function是固定搭配,意为“为了相同的功能”,因此空格处用介词for。故填for。 9.variety　考查名词。a variety of是固定短语,意为“各种各样的”。故填variety。 10.Gradually　考查副词。空格处用副词作状语,修饰整句话;gradual的副词是gradually,意为“逐渐”,位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填Gradually。 知识积累卡 一、1.评价;评定;估价;估计　评估　2.保存;保护　3.匠人;工匠　4.极宝贵的 二、1.持续举办　跑;奔跑　2.涂抹　申请;应用　3.主持　椅子
