53、由逻辑思维可知:本杰明拥有了真正的画笔,不再需要猫毛制作画笔了,故猫的命运发生了改变。一些考生由于缺乏逻辑性思维,往往错选B项。二、聚焦核心价值本文通过介绍美国绘画之父本杰明韦斯特小时候学习画画的故事,激励我们要不怕困难,勇往直前,做一个对社会有所贡献的人。“一个有希望的民族不能没有英雄,一个有前途的国家不能没有先锋”,特别是在中华人民共和国成立70周年,党中央隆重表彰了一批为新中国建设和发展而做出杰出贡献的功勋模范人物。他们就是我们这个时代的英雄和先锋,竖起了中华民族伟大复兴的坚强丰碑。我们应学习他们能吃苦,勇于奉献,敢于担当,努力拼搏,不懈奋斗的精神,为中华民族的伟大复兴增砖添瓦!借力真题
