1.书法 2.画法、笔触 3.集中注意力于 4.以……为豪 5.追溯到 6.calligrapher 7.final work 8.take a deep breath 9.give it a try 10.traditional Chinese art
11. What did
【详解】句意:我的老师要求我要有耐心。划线部分“be patient”指所做的事情,对事情提问用特殊疑问词What;原句谓语动词asked是过去式,表明时态为一般过去时,变疑问句需借助助动词did,放在主语“your teacher”之前,因此填What;did。
12. quite beautiful
【详解】句意:这幅书法非常漂亮。改为同义句,“very beautiful”可以替换为“quite beautiful”,quite用来修饰形容词,意为“相当,非常”。故填quite;beautiful。
13.that/which
【详解】句意:我喜欢那把老师给我的刷子。先行词the brush表示事物,在定语从句中作gave的宾语,原句“My teacher gave it to me.”合并为定语从句时,可用关系代词that或which指代物,引导定语从句修饰the brush。因此空格处填that或which。
14. who/that is talking with
【详解】原句中的关键词为“正在谈话”,主句是“The student is our monitor”,横线部分是用来修饰主语“The student”的定语从句,先行词“The student”,指人,在从句中作主语,关系代词用who或that,中文“正在”提示从句时态为现在进行时,结构为am/is/are+动词的现在分词,定语从句的谓语动词单复数应与先行词“The student”保持一致,“The student”为第三人称单数,be动词用is,“和……谈话”的固定搭配为talk with sb,此处需用talk的现在分词形式talking。故填who/that;is;talking;with。
15. What do
【详解】句意:艺术家作画时专注于笔下的笔触。画线部分“their strokes”指事物,对物提问需用特殊疑问词What;原句时态为一般现在时,主语“artists”是复数名词,变疑问句时需借助助动词do;特殊疑问句结构为“特殊疑问词+助动词+主语+动词原形+其他”,故填What;do。
16. the oldest art forms
【详解】原句中“最古老的艺术形式”是关键词,“最古老的”译为“the oldest”;“艺术形式”译为“art form”,“one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数”,意为“最……之一”。在“one of” 结构中,后面的名词必须使用复数形式,因此“form”变为“forms”。
17. used to be uninterested in
【详解】原句中“过去对……不感兴趣”是关键词,表达过去常常的结构是“used to”;“对……不感兴趣”短语是“be uninterested in”。本句描述过去的状态,used to后接动词原形be。故填used;to;be;uninterested;in。
18. has been practising
【详解】原句中“已经”“三十年”是关键词,for thirty years表示动作持续,本句为现在完成进行时,结构为has/have been doing,主语My grandfather为第三人称单数,助动词用 has,practise的现在分词为practising。
19. appreciate the beauty of
【详解】原句中“欣赏……的美”是关键词。“欣赏”常用appreciate,此处句子陈述客观事实,为一般现在时,主语Many foreign visitors为复数,谓语动词appreciate使用原形;“……的美”对应固定搭配the beauty of。
20. try painting which/that is soft but strong
【详解】原句中“试着作画”、“柔软却坚韧”是关键词,表示“尝试做某事”的短语是try doing sth。doing为动名词形式,因此“作画”对应动名词painting。本句表达日常做法,为一般现在时,主语为I,try用原形。修饰宣纸的“柔软却坚韧”使用定语从句,先行词为事物,关系代词用which/that,后接be动词is,表示“柔软”的单词为soft,表示“却”的单词为but,表示“坚韧”的单词为strong,构成并列形容词结构。
21. calligraphy Practicing requires patience
【详解】原句中“书法”对应名词calligraphy,作like的宾语;“练好它”在第二个分句中作主语,动词作主语需变为动名词形式Practicing;动名词作主语时谓语动词要用第三人称单数,“需要”用requires;“耐心”对应名词patience,和concentration并列。故填calligraphy;Practicing;requires;patience。
22.presents 23.up close 24.brushwork 25.Generally 26.achieved 27.techniques 28.unfamiliar 29.similarities 30.experts 31.beautifully
【导语】本文介绍参观中国传统文化艺术博物馆时欣赏画作的体验,强调老一辈画家的精湛技艺,以及学习传统绘画所需的多方面技巧,最后提及大师们的日常练习与积累。
【详解】22.句意:如果你参观一座专注于中国传统文化的艺术博物馆,你可以看到博物馆向你展示的大量精彩画作。that引导定语从句修饰paintings,空格处作从句谓语,主语the museum为单数,一般现在时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。选项present(展示),变为presents,符合“博物馆展出画作”的语境。
23.句意:当你近距离观察它们时,你会赞叹老一辈艺术家创造的特殊笔法。空格修饰动词observe(观察),需用副词或副词短语作状语,选项up close(靠近地)符合语法及“观赏画作细节需要凑近看”的语境。
24.句意:当你近距离观察它们时,你会赞叹老一辈艺术家创造的特殊笔法。形容词special后需接名词作宾语,且被过去分词短语created by...修饰,选项brushwork(笔法、运笔风格)符合语法及“赞叹画家独特运笔”的语境。
25.句意:一般来说,卓越的技法不可能一蹴而就。固定搭配Generally speaking意为“一般来说”,选项general需改为副词Generally,符合语法及“引出下文关于学习技艺的普遍道理”的语境。
26.句意:一般来说,卓越的技艺不可能一蹴而就。空格前为情态动词cannot be,后需接过去分词构成被动语态;选项achieve(实现、达成),其过去分词achieved符合语法及“高超技艺需要时间打磨,无法一夜达成”的语境。
27.句意:你需要掌握各种各样的绘画技巧。painting后需接名词,且all kinds of后接可数名词复数,选项technique变为复数techniques(技巧、技法)符合语法及“学习不同绘画技巧”的语境。
28.句意:一些古老的风格对青少年来说可能并不熟悉。be动词后需接形容词作表语,且与介词to搭配,选项unfamiliar(不熟悉的)符合语法及“古代画风与当代青少年存在距离感”的语境。
29.句意:你能在不同作品之间找到相似之处。定冠词the后面接名词。选项similarity(相似点),此处可使用复数similarities,表示多处相似,符合“在画作中寻找共同点”的语境。
30.句意:许多伟大的画家(专家)画得很漂亮,并把他们的速写草图存放在一个木制篮子里。形容词great后需接名词作主语,且many后接复数名词,选项expert变为复数experts(专家、大师)符合语法及“绘画大师们日常练习”的语境。

42.例文
Dear Tom,
How is everything going? I know you are interested in traditional Chinese culture, so I’d like to introduce Chinese calligraphy to you.
Chinese calligraphy is a traditional art form that dates back thousands of years ago. It is not just writing—it is an art that expresses the writer’s feelings and spirit. To practise calligraphy, we need four tools: the brush, inkstick, xuanzhi, and inkstone. People call them “the four treasures of the study.”
Learning calligraphy has many benefits. It helps us develop patience and concentrate on what we are doing. When I write, I forget all my worries and feel calm and peaceful. It also helps me better understand Chinese culture.
I hope you can come to China one day and experience it yourself!
Yours sincerely,
Wang Ming
