二、完形填空(本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said,“ Every child is an artist. The problem he has is_16 to remain an artist once he grows up.”
This is both encouraging and discouraging. The fact that we were all_17_to be artists is certainly exciting, and yet the reality has_18_that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed._19_, some people have seen the problem and want to solve it.
Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept(概念) of “STEAM”_20 “STEM”—— traditional “ core majors ” including science, technology,_21_, and Maths — since the “A” whichstands for “ art ”, is just as_22_. And on April 11, China ’s Ministry of Education issued(宣布) guidelines. Colleges and universities are required to_23_more art- related courses and students need to earn a_24 number of art credits in order to graduate.
These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that_25_education helps students develop self- confidence and teamwork skills,_26_habits of mind such as problem- solving and critical thinking, according to The Washington Post.
It's true that_27_of these skills target(面向) specific jobs. But as former USA ballet dancer Damian
Woetzel told The Atlantic, the_28_of art is “ to give kids the tools to become adults who are_29_, adaptable(有适应能力的), and expressive—able to have their eyes, ears and senses alive”.
And we can now see how we lost track(轨道) of our born “ artist self ” on our way to growing up: we_30_ to keep our abilities to see, hear and feel, and became blind, deaf and insensitive adults.

The balalaika, also called the“Russian guitar”, is a traditional Russian musical instrument. It has a long neck, a wooden, triangle-shaped body and strings. It is usually used to play Russian music by plucking the strings with fingers or a pick.
Russians like the balalaika. The music played with it can be cheerful, as if the farmers were dancing happily to celebrate their harvest. It can also be energetic, as if the workers were working hard to make their country richer and stronger. If a Russian moves to live or work abroad, he will probably take a balalaika with him. When he feels lonely and sad, he will play it to cheer himself up.
The balalaika was originally played by the poor in Russia. At that time, balalaikas were made by the players themselves. They were rough, simple and cheap with different numbers of strings, from two to even six. Later a Russian musician Vasily Vasilievich Andreyev improved the balalaika. He created a whole family of balalaikas of different sizes, all with three strings. The smallest balalaika is called Prima. It is 60cm~70cm long. The biggest, Contrabass, is almost 2 metres high with a leg to sit on the floor. Andreyev founded the first balalaika orchestra in the world, mainly using balalaikas to perform. He gave concerts at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1889, which was a great success.
Today, there are balalaika groups performing around the world. More and more people get to know the balalaika and are attracted by its Russian style music.
34. The balalaika is a musical instrument____ .
A. without strings B. with a long neck
C. of a round shape D. with a metal body

From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing—an energetic form of dance that includes six-step and eight-step rhythms(节奏)—has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, Swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when Swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time development the movements of the Lindy Hop—a style of dance that is best known for a“break away”or“swing out”move and improvisation(即兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh—the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)—which was titled“Lindy Hops the Atlantic”. Then the watcher announced that the“Lindy Hop” was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.
In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer people a place to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.
Within ten years, the Lindy Hop was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的) backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong. It continues being one of the world's most fun dances.
38. The writing purpose of this passage is .
A. to introduce a popular form of dance B. to discover the fun secrets of a dance
C. to tell stories about an energetic dance D. to describe the special moves of a dance
39 . Which of the following words has the closest meaning to“demise”
A. Challenge. B. Change. C. Development. D. Death.
40. What can we learn about Swing
A. It's a lively dance with strict rules. B. It has a close connection with a pilot.
C. It has a history of around 90 years. D. It attracts black people mostly.
41 . What can we infer from the passage
A. The dance style will soon be accepted by traditional dance teachers.
B. The name was changed from“Lindy Hop”to“Swing”in the 1940s.
C. The movements of different Swing dancers always look the same.
D. The dance might have become umpopular sometime in its history.

六、(2020·上海改编)阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
“Just because you can't see something, that doesn't mean it's not there.”This old saying is quite meaningfulfor British sculptor(雕刻家) Willard. The items he creates are so small that most of them fit on the head of a pin. You can see them clearly only through a microscope(显微镜).
Many people want to own his art pieces. He's been honored by the Queen of England for his great art achievements. At every one of his exhibitions, the question is always the same:how does he do it
The answer is “Very, very carefully.”. So carefully, in fact, that he actually slows his breathing down and works in between breaths. Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates. To paint his works, he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush.
Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process, and it isn't always enjoyable. “It is a terrible. dream when I start but a nice dream when I finish,”he says.A single item can take at least several weeks to complete.
People have asked Willard why he chose to do something that needed effort and took time. His interest in creating small things began when he was five. He started creative houses and playgrounds for ants. Willard was not a strong student. He had difficulty in reading and spelling words. Some kids used to call him a loser. This made him feel small, so focusing on little things helped him to feel big. The smaller his work got, the bigger he felt. A newspaper reporter said,“Willard has shown the world that he is special. Though his art is small, he has a large impact on the world.”
When people visit Willard's exhibitions, what question do they always ask
________________________________________________
2. What does Willard use to make a paintbrush
________________________________________________
3.What does the underlined word“it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
________________________________________________
4.Why did Willard choose to do things that needed effort and took time
________________________________________________
5. What do you think of Willard (请自拟一句话作答)
