Passage D
【答案】1-5 DABCB 6-10 ADBAD 11-15 BDCAB
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了火灾之后,艺术家Shane Grammer在天堂镇的废墟上作画，为受难者带来了美好和希望。
1.D　句意:结果,这个拥有美丽的名字的地方失去了(lost)它的美丽。destroy破坏,毁灭;creat创造;witness见证。根据首句The town of Paradise has suffered a fire, which lasted 17 days and caused a loss of $16.5 billion.可知,天堂镇遭受了一场持续17天、造成严重损失的大火,这个地方因大火失去了它原有的美丽,故选D。
2.A　句意:事实上,当他看到他的朋友分享的照片,照片中大火过后朋友的房子只剩下(remained)一根白色的烟囱时,他感到无力(powerless)相助。enthusiastic热情的;urgent紧急的,迫切的;reluctant不情愿的。故选A。
3.B　句意见上一题。leave剩下;disappear消失;collapse 倒塌。根据语境可判断出大火过后房子只剩下一根白色的烟囱,remain表示“剩余”,是不及物动词,而leave是及物动词,要用被动语态。故选B。
4.C　根据下文他是一名艺术家的提示,以及下一段首句Grammer spent three hours spray-painting the image of a woman on the chimney in black and white...可知,他在烟囱上涂鸦作画,故选C。mend修理,修补;rebuild重建;preserve 保护。
5.B　句意:这对我来说是一个表达自我、做一名艺术家的机会(opportunity),难道不是吗 risk风险；job工作;duty职责,义务。结合上下文可知,他这样做并未带着任何功利目的,而是把作画作为一次表达自我和追求艺术的机会。opportunity符合语境,而duty强调的是工作上的职责、义务,是必须完成的任务,并不契合此处语境。故选B。
6.A　这里指这个女人的画像充满了引人注目(strikingly)的神秘感。originally最初,本来;deliberately故意地;accidentally 意外地。在仅剩的一根烟囱上作画,这无疑是醒目的,strikingly符合语境。故选A。
7.D　句意:或许它充当生活的美抑或是生活本身的提醒(reminder)。label标签;object目标,物体;content内容,目录。这场大火把小镇上人们的美好生活都毁了,所有的过往都烟消云散,眼前只有废墟。因而这幅画可提醒人们想起生活的美或生活本身,故选D。
8.B　句意:一看到这幅画,这场大火的受害者就无法抑制(contain)自己的情绪。support支持;help帮助;release释放。作为火灾受害者,这幅画激发了他们内心强烈的情感,contain oneself是固定搭配,表示“抑制自己的情绪”,故选B。
9.A　句意:而另一个人说:“你带来了美好与希望(hope)。” mystery谜题,神秘;entertainment娱乐;diversity差异性。根据倒数第二段最后一句中出现的light一词可知,在被大火侵袭后,这幅废墟上的画让人们看到美好,也看到希望,hope符合语境。
10.D　句意:这时候Grammer开始意识到一种纯粹的艺术表达方式已经改变了更深刻的(deeper)东西。brighter更明亮的;higher更高的;bigger更大的。根据上下文可知,第一幅壁画产生了巨大的反响,给火灾的受害者带来了希望,已经具有了社会意义,所以此处指更为深刻的东西,故选D。
