A
Cimabue,the greatest painter of the Middle Ages in Italy,was surprised one day after his lunch break to discover that a fly had seated itself under the nose of a character that he had been working on.He swatted the fly,but it didn’t move.He reached out to touch the insect,only to find it was only wet paint.Turning around,he saw that his apprentice (学徒),Giotto,was laughing.Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away,and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.
Giotto di Bondone was born into a poor family in a village.Legend has it that one day,when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside,he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep,which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint.That was how Giotto’s story began in Florence,where the young student grew under Cimabue’s instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill.
At that time,people in paintings didn’t look real,and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with.Innovation was not stressed,so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.
However,Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way.His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes for the Arena Chapel.Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then,he painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and beautiful people that other artists painted.He created three-dimensional space by using perspective,something that had not been done since Roman times.
In addition to painting,Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans.When Giotto was in his sixties,he painted the Ognissanti Madonna,another famous work of art.He continued working until the age of seventy.The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 1
A.There was a fly landing on the painting.
B.The fly was covered with wet paint.
C.It was Cimabue who painted the fly.
D.Cimabue was tricked into believing the fly was real.
2.What can we learn about Giotto di Bondone from the text
A.He was born into a poor family in the city of Florence.
B.All the people he painted were tall and beautiful.
C.Besides painting,he was also involved in other fields.
D.He continued working until the age of sixty.
3.What made Giotto’s works remarkable at that time
A.Vivid colors.
B.Classic skills.
C.Decorative styles.
D.Lifelike characters.
4.Which of the following can be the main idea of the text
A.A brief introduction to the great painter Giotto.
B.The development of art since the Middle Ages.
C.The influence Cimabue had on Giotto.
D.The innovation Giotto brought to the art world.

An exhibition of Song Buyun’s works is now running at the museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.The exhibition will run through Feb.27.
These days,a long awaited snowfall in Beijing easily creates a fanfare(轰动) online.One needn’t go outside to feel people’s excitement at a blanket of snow,as a glimpse of the photos and videos uploaded on social media will be enough.
Seventy years ago,however,while snow was common in Beijing,cameras were seldom to be seen;few were able to record the scenery of this historical city.One of the few was Song Buyun,the late oil painter and water-colorist who walked the streets and recorded the beauty of Beijing’s centuries-old architecture.
Cultural landmarks frozen in time are displayed in Song’s Beijing landscape series,picturing the peaceful atmosphere of the city’s historical spots over the course of a year,such as Tiantan.He documented people visiting the Palace Museum,swimming in lakes and clearing snow off the streets.
Dying in 1992,Song didn’t have a chance to show this body of work during his lifetime.It was eight years later that these paintings were made public for the first time at an exhibition held in his memory.
“Song’s paintings show the harmony(和谐) between architecture and its surroundings,” says Fan Di’an,dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. “The colors are vivid and arranged tastefully to give a refreshing look to these old bining skills of Chinese and Western art,his works preserve(保存) the varied landscape of a city,and under his brushwork,Song injected rich emotions,allowing his work to stand the test of time.”
5.What can we know about Song’s works in the exhibition
A.They were made with the help of cameras.
B.They focus on Beijing’s cultural landmarks.
C.They show people’s hard life in Beijing decades ago.
D.They have drawn wide attention and good comments online.
6.When did the public first see the body of Song’s Beijing landscape series
A.In 1951. B.In 1992.
C.In 2000. D.In 2020.
7.What makes Song’s works last long
A.The colors Song used were very special.
B.Some architecture and surroundings don’t exist.
C.They are the only way to record the historic scenery.
D.Song’s skills and emotion make the works valuable.
8.What’s the best title of this text
A.Frozen in time:an old Beijing in Song Buyun’s exhibition
B.Song Buyun:a great colour master who painted architecture
C.A symphony of colors:an exhibition giving you a feast of eyes
D.Landmarks in Beijing:the harmony architecture and culture

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了意大利伟大的画家Giotto di Bondone,他给绘画带来的思想彻底改变了艺术界,使他成为有史以来最伟大的画家之一。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away,and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.”可知,Cimabue上当了,以为苍蝇是真的。
2.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In addition to painting,Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans.”可知,除了绘画,他还涉足其他领域。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However,Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way.”及“he painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and beautiful people that other artists painted”可知,Giotto的画因逼真的特点而与众不同。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Innovation was not stressed,so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.”可知,当时的艺术因没有创新而止步不前,结合第四段中“Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then”及最后一段中“The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.”可知,文章的主旨是Giotto给艺术界带来的创新。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了已逝画家宋步云的作品在中央美术学院博物馆里展出的情况。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Cultural landmarks frozen in time are displayed in Song’s Beijing landscape series,picturing the peaceful atmosphere of the city’s historical spots over the course of a year,such as Tiantan.”可知,他的作品集中于北京的文化地标。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,逝世于1992年,宋没有机会在他的有生之年里展出他的作品。8年后这些绘画作品才在一个为了纪念他而举办的画展中首次公开,所以是在2000年公众才首次看到他的作品。
7.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Combining skills of Chinese and Western art,...Song injected rich emotions,allowing his work to stand the test of time.”可知,宋的作品能历经时间考验是因为他作品中的艺术技巧和注入的情感。
8.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了已逝画家宋步云的作品正在中央美术学院博物馆里展出,对他的记录老北京历史景观的作品做了简单介绍,尤其是他的中西方结合的绘画技巧与他融入画中的情感,使他的作品能历经时间的考验,因此,A项“Frozen in time:an old Beijing in Song Buyun’s exhibition”为本文的最佳标题。
Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍在茶汤上拉花作画的艺术。

3.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,此空引导定语从句,先行词 a designer为人,且在从句中充当主语。故填who/that。
4.when 考查表语从句。由句子分析可知,is后是表语从句,再由句意可知,从句中缺时间状语。故填when。
5.that 考查强调句。这里强调状语 through trial and error。故填that。
6.takes 考查时态。分析句子可知,此空应填谓语动词且应用主动形式,再根据Usually和主语it为第三人称单数可知,此空应用一般现在时,故填takes。
7.To spread 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此空应填非谓语动词,再根据句意可知,应填动词不定式作目的状语。故填To spread。
8.social 考查形容词。分析句子可知,此空修饰后面名词短语 media platforms,应用形容词,故填social。
9.were created 考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子可知,此空应为定语从句的谓语,先行词poems,calligraphy and paintings 和create为被动关系,且由back then可知时态应用一般过去时。故填were created。
10.used 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此空应填非谓语动词,the tools和use是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填used。

I’m looking forward to your reply.
