24、6Unit 1).【解题导语】本杰明韦斯特从六岁时就表现出了绘画的天分。当他九岁的时候,他的表兄带他去了费城,给了他绘制油画的材料。大艺术家威廉威廉姆斯被本杰明的画作所吸引,给了他两本古典绘画图书,这两本书成了他古典绘画的启蒙老师,促使他立志成为一名艺术家。1.C主旨大意题。本文介绍了本杰明韦斯特在六岁到九岁时对绘画的热爱,他所面临的问题以及大艺术家威廉威廉姆斯对他的影响及帮助,引导着他走上了艺术家的道路。因此C项正确。2.D句意猜测题。画线句是第三段的段首,其作用应是引出本段的内容。由上文可知,本杰明没有画刷就从猫身上割毛制作画刷。画线句后面的意思是,本杰明的表兄给他带来了画刷和颜料。故画线
25、句子的意思应该是与本杰明需要画刷有关,因此D项正确。3.B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“.he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.”以及最后一段中的“In the city,Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.”可知,表兄给本杰明提供了画刷等绘画材料来帮助他学习绘画,故B项正确。4.D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“.they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nine-year-ol
26、d boy decided then that he would be an artist.”可知,这两本书坚定了他的梦想,引导着这个九岁的男孩走上了绘画的道路。故D项正确。【解题导语】本文为说明文。地景艺术开始于数千年之前,它与传统的艺术不同,主要使用泥土、石块等材料在户外制作艺术品。5.D细节理解题。由第一段最后一句中的“.sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.”可知,数千年前人们就已经开始制作地景艺术,故D项正确。
27、6.A推理判断题。由第二段的第二句“For example,in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty,made of a collection of stones and mud,in the Great Salt Lake.”可知,地景艺术可以采取多种形式,罗伯特史密森在大盐湖中用泥浆和石头制造了螺旋防波堤。由此可知,他是一位非常有创造力的艺术家。7.B细节理解题。由文章的最后一句“Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time,w
28、hich is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.”可知,地景艺术会随着时间的推移而发展和衰败,故B项正确。8.D主旨大意题。由全文可知,本文的主题句是第一段第一句“Land Art,sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks,is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art,taking art out of the museum and into the outside
29、world.”,结合下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了地景艺术,故D项正确。.【解题导语】本文为说明文,主要介绍了几个已经缺失的社会礼仪。1.D根据空前一句“Etiquette,or good manners,used to be the glue that held society together.”可推知,礼仪能让人们和谐相处。故选D项。2.F根据空前一句“In days gone by,a gentleman would always open doors for ladies.”可推知,应选F项来解释ladies,那位女士可能是他开车所带的人或一个陌生人。3.E根据空前一句“In days
30、 gone by,whenever a person received a gift,he would write a thank-you note as soon as possible.”可知,过去收到礼物时要尽快给赠予者写感谢信。空处承接上文,这条规则是真的,即使赠予者是你的亲友。故选E项。4.B结合本段中的“It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honourand once the guest of honour left,it was a signal to
31、all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.”和本段的整体内容可推知,本段主要讲的是在宴会上要在恰当的时间离开。故选B项。5.C根据上文的“We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.”可知,现在人们离开宴会时不再选择恰当的时间,而是找各种借口离开。故选C项。.Ive had many dreams since I was a child.Now my dream is
32、to opensopen a cafe.Though it may appear simple,it requiredrequires a lot of ideas and efforts.What I want is not just an ordinarilyordinary cafe but a very special one.I want my cafe to have a special theme such as like “Tang Dynasty”.In the cafe,customers will enjoy yourselvesthemselves in the historical environment whatthat/which is created for them.If I succeed in managemanaging one,I will open more.I wish to have a chain of cafes in many different citycities.Each of my cafes will have a different theme and ana unique style.
