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.”
1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
4.What’s the best title of this text
A.Frozen in time:an old Beijing in Song Buyun’s exhibition

For some people,music is no fun at all.About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”.People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs.
As a result,songs sound like noise to an amusic.Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other.Life can be hard for amusics.In fact,most people cannot understand what it feels like being amusic.Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful.That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music.However,this can result in social loneliness.“I used to hate parties,” says Margaret,a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic.By studying people like Margaret,scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music.The difference is complex (复杂的),and it is not connected with poor hearing.Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well.They also have no problems understanding common speech.Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断).For years,Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem.Now she knows that she is not alone.That makes it easier for her to explain.“When people invite me to a concert,I just say ‘No,thanks.I’m amusic.’”says Margaret.
5.Amusics are the people who .
A.like music
B.have poor listening
C.don’t like music
D.are born unable to enjoy music
6.What causes amusics different from most people according to scientists
A.Their brains.
B.Their poor hearing.
C.Their lack of colors.
D.Their problems with speech.
7.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Amusics’ strange behavior.
B.Musical ability.
C.Some people’s inability to enjoy music.
D.Identification and treatment of amusic.

During times of peace,new treasures were brought in.During the days of war,many treasures were stolen,and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis Ⅰ became King of France in 1515,he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the best-known painting in the museum today.
In 1793,the Louvre became a public museum,just as it is now.It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy.Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.

Thanksgiving Foods That Are Poisonous to Cats and Dogs
Thanksgiving is a time to feast and spend time with family,which includes your cats,dogs,and other pets. 1
Can cats and dogs eat turkey According to the American Kennel Club,it depends.As it turns out,turkey isn’t actually“poisonous”for your companion,rather,its additional flavorings like butter,oil,stuffing,herbs,and spices are what may result in an upset stomach. 2
3 “No matter what form they’re in(dry,raw,cooked,powder,or within other foods),onions are some of the absolute worst foods you could possibly give your pup(it’s poisonous for dogs,and it’s even worse for cats),”says Sadie Cornelius,Marketing Director for Canine Journal.Your safest bet Skip the onion altogether.
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving Dessert! 4 An ingredient in chocolate called theobromine,which is similar to caffeine,is extremely poisonous for cats and dogs.This may result in vomiting,diarrhea,and seizures(痉挛)—it can even be fatal.
Mushrooms Well,at least wild mushrooms.Store-bought mushrooms are OK to feed to your pet,but stay away from wild mushrooms.“Just as the wrong mushroom can be fatal to humans,the same applies to dogs and cats,”says Cornelius.“Don’t mess with them.” 5
Make sure you properly dispose of food wrappings like aluminum foil,plastic wrap,and wax paper.While licking up food left on these wrappings pets can ingest some of the wrapper,leading to intestinal obstructions.
A.Stick to dog biscuits and kitty treats instead of this sugary food.
B.Unfortunately,you can’t share your chocolate bar with your pets.
C.But before you let them eat something off your plate,you may want to think twice.
D.Just take good care of your pets during the festival.
E.Of course,all meat should be well cooked and always boneless.
F.Instead,check out the food before feeding your pets.
G.Onions are a huge no-no when it comes to cats and dogs.

One of the most famous nursery rhymes(摇篮曲) in the English language is Mary Had a Little Lamb(羔羊).It has touched many children who have read it.It is about the deep love between a young girl and her pet lamb.The poem is from a true story that happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling,Massachusetts,in the USA.
Mary Sawyer (1806—1889) lived on a farm with her family.One day,when she was about nine years old,she saw a little lamb that had just been born and left behind by its mother.It was very weak and looked as if it would die at any moment.Mary took pity on the lamb and spent the whole night looking after it.Eventually,it grew strong and became a very close friend with Mary,following her everywhere she went.
One day,the lamb even followed Mary to school.At first she wanted to turn it back but her brother suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to school.During the class,she hid the lamb under her desk.But when she was called to go to the front of the class,to her surprise,the lamb followed her.Though the students and the teacher thought it was funny to see a lamb at school,the teacher had to ask Mary to keep the lamb out of the school.
That very day,a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Mary’s school.He was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next day.His poem contained twelve lines.
Later,Sara Josepha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title “Mary Had a Little Lamb”.The poem has become a classic,loved by children all over the world.The appeal (吸引力) of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love between the little girl and her pet.The town of Sterling has honoured Mary’s lamb by building a statue of the lamb with Mr Roulstone’s poem below the statue.

People have been making and flying kites for about 2,000 years. 1 Some historians believe that the ancient Chinese may have started kite flying 2,000 years ago.It is still a popular hobby in China,Japan and South Korea and in other countries of the Far East where beautifully decorated kites appear in different colours.In China there is even a special Kite Day on which children and adults fly kites.In Japan,families fly fish kites on Children’s Day.
Kites are made in many different sizes,colours and shapes. 2 It flies because air flows over and under the kite’s wing.The pressure under the wing helps the kite lift into the air.
3 Early scientists sent kites up into the air to measure temperature at different heights.In 1752,Benjamin Franklin used a kite to prove that lightning was a form of electricity.He attached a metal key to the string of a kite.When lightning hit the kite,electricity passed down the string and Franklin got an electric shock.It was a very dangerous experiment that you shouldn’t copy.

He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to the girl in it.“How many roses can I get for fifty dollars ” the boy asked.The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive.Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
“No.I have to have roses,” he said.“My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t spend much time with her.I want to get something special.It has to be red roses,because that is her favorite,” He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head.Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice.He wanted to get those roses so badly.Eric had been blessed (幸运的) in his business,and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said,“OK,I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The boy almost jumped into the air.He took the flowers and ran out of the store.It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother.After that,with a relief he drove down the road.Not long after his driving,he saw the boy walking to a graveyard(墓地).

No matter where he parks his VW bus coated in chalkboard paint,Jonathan Sherman comes back to find great new art adorning the sides.
Once a week,he washes it and creates a new canvas for the amateur artists of American Fork who are inspired to fill its sides.
The story behind what has become known as the “Chalkbus” even inspired a mini documentary by college students,the Daily Herald reports.
The idea to make it a rolling chalkboard came to Sherman when the bus was due for a new paint job and he painted it black matte primer and then gazed over at his daughter drawing chalk on the sidewalk.He invited her to try on the van,and the plan was formed.
“People were like,‘Oh,you shouldn’t do that,people are going to draw all kinds of horrible things on there,’ you know,‘You’re asking for trouble,’” Sherman said.“People really haven’t drawn anything bad there,they always draw cool things.”
He started driving it several years ago,and frequently found drawings when he parked it in at the movie theater or grocery store.When he found someone drawing on the bus,he left them alone to finish before talking with them.“It’s always a positive conversation,” he said.Sherman,a licensed marriage and family therapist,said the bus seemed to provide something people were missing.He took it each year to the Out of Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk in Salt Lake City and let people draw on it there.
“A lot of people are really disconnected in society.And a lot of people suffer in silence,” he said.“Anywhere I can find a little small connection,I think it just alleviates a little bit of a burden somewhere for somebody to know that,you’re seen and you matter.”
“I’ve just noticed how many meaningful connections have come as a result of or have come because of the existence of the Chalkbus,” McKinnon said.“Because the Chalkbus exists,I’ve made friends that I wouldn’t have made.I want people to have peace,love and happiness.”
1.How did Sherman react when seeing someone painting on his bus
A.He watched him/her in a cold manner.
B.He stayed angry but kept silent.
C.He fought with the person.
D.He watched him/her and then talked with the person.

B.The “Chalkbus” inspires drawing and connectivity.
C.The “Chalkbus” promotes young artists born in colleges.
D.Newly-born style of art—Chalkbus drawing.
4.Where is the passage probably taken from
A.A guidebook.
B.A scientific fiction.
C.A fashion magazine.
D.A news report.

American country music is also known as country western music.It has a very long history.It comes from the folk songs of immigrants (移民) from Britain.
Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness,love,and sadness.That is to say,country music describes life.It talks about friends and enemies,trucks and roads,farm and crops.People in many parts of the world like country music,because everyone can understand what the music is about.
Country western music became popular first among cowboys (牛仔) in the American west countryside.Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night.When they were alone with the cows,they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear.They were not well-educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words.They played guitars,violins and other instruments.In the south of America,many people added instruments from their homes,like bottles and spoons.When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving,they usually sang and played country western music.
In recent years,many musicians have made country western music a little different from the one in the past.These changes make the songs sound even better.Today singers such as Carth Brooks,Reba McEntire,Emmylou Harris,Lyle Lovett,Eddie Rabbitt,LeAnn Rimes,Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.They have brought more and more country western music fans from all over the world.

Benjamin West,the father of American painting,showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age.But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days,a brush was made from camel’s hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead.He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long,the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱).His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat’s lot was about to improve.That year,one of Benjamin’s cousins,Mr.Pennington,came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings.When he went home,he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist.These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.
In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr.Pennington returned for another visit.He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city,Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape (风景) painting.William Williams,a well-known painter,came to see his work.Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.

Ⅷ.七选五
For nearly 50 years,Zhao Yuming has been absorbed in his own world of clay figurines(泥塑).At age 62,Zhao is the only remaining clay sculpture master craftsman in Laoting County,Hebei Province.He has been officially recognised as a master of intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产). 1 This is more of a responsibility and a source of pressure.
2 In ancient times,Laoting clay figurines were mainly children’s toys made by countryside artists.After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949,there were several workshops in villages in Laoting County and the production reached a high level,but the prices were too low. 3 However,for a long period,many clay artists relied on making and selling clay figurines at those poor prices to make ends meet.
Nowadays,shopping malls are full of high-end toys,so the Laoting clay figurines have gradually fallen out of favor. 4 Zhao said that although his children have other jobs to feed their families,he still wants to pass on his skills to them and his grandchildren.“If we do not pass it on,we will do a disservice to our country.Passing on the skills,honoring ourselves and repaying the country is the best option.”
Facing a demand for economic development,many regions are increasingly attaching importance to the protection of valuable traditional cultural skills.People come to realise that developing our cultural relics promotes the development of local economies. 5
A.But for him,this is not only an honor.
B.Later,it became known as “literary clay figurines”.
C.Clay figurines were sold for just a few pennies each.
D.Laoting clay sculpture has a nearly 500-year history.
E.Laoting clay sculpture is an important part or Zhao’s life.
F.However,some craftsmen have chosen to continue the tradition.
G.More importantly,it contributes to the goal of building “a beautiful China”.

Ⅶ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了你可以随便在一辆名为“Chalkbus”的公共汽车车身上画画,司机不仅不会生气,反而还会鼓励人们创作,他认为这样有利于人们之间的沟通与交流。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“When he found someone drawing on the bus,he left them alone to finish before talking with them.(当他发现有人在车上画画时,他让他们独自完成,然后再和他们交谈)”可知,当Sherman看到有人在车上画画时,他的反应是看着他/她画,然后再和他/她交谈。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据上文提到的“很多人在社会上真的没有联系。而很多人默默承受”以及下文的“负担”可知,此处的意思是“这会减轻他们的痛苦/负担”。由此猜测画线词意为“缓解、减轻”,与A项近义。
3.B 最佳标题题。第一段讲“Jonathan Sherman的大众公共汽车不管停在哪里,两边都有新的艺术装饰”,第二段讲“Jonathan Sherman每周为American Fork的业余艺术家们创作一幅新的画布”,第三段讲“Jonathan Sherman的‘Chalkbus’大众巴士激发了大学生们创造了一部迷你纪录片”,第四段讲“Jonathan Sherman的‘Chalkbus’计划”,第五、六段讲“‘Chalkbus’激励人们在巴士上画画”,第七、八段讲“通过‘Chalkbus’人们彼此联系,使那些和社会脱节的人们又结交了朋友”。由此可知,文章主要讲“‘Chalkbus’鼓励人们创作,让人们彼此建立联系”,B项“Chalkbus”鼓励绘画和联系性符合文意。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第三段“The story behind what has become known as the ‘Chalkbus’ even inspired a mini documentary by college students,the Daily Herald reports.(据英国《每日先驱报》报道,这辆被称为‘Chalkbus’的汽车背后的故事甚至激发大学生们创作了一部迷你纪录片)”可知,本文是来自《每日先驱报》的一篇新闻报道。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了乡村音乐的起源、发展以及其影响。
5.D 根据第二段中的“People in many parts of the world like country music,because everyone can understand what the music is about”可知大家喜欢乡村音乐是因为它通俗易懂。
6.B 根据第三段中的“peaceful songs”和“overcome their own fear”可知选B项。
7.C 根据倒数第二段中的“When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving,they usually sang and played country western music”可知选C项。
8.B 本文描述了美国乡村音乐的历史和发展,因此B项最佳。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国知名画家本杰明·韦斯特的故事以及他的绘画之路。
9.C 文章从本杰明在六岁时自制画笔作画写起,到后来利用专业工具作画,再到知名画家送给本杰明书籍,都是在讲述本杰明是如何一步步走上艺术之路的。
10.D 由前文可知,本杰明在没有专业画笔之前是用猫的毛制作画笔的。画线句的字面意思是“猫的命运将会得到改善”。由该段后文可知,本杰明的表兄送给了他专业的颜料和画笔。由此可推知D项与画线句的意思相符。
11.B 短文第四段提到“He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift”,接着下一段又谈到“...Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings”,由此可知,潘宁顿送给本杰明绘画材料来帮助他发展艺术才能,故选B项。
12.D 由文章最后两句“While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.”可知,这两本书是他通往古典绘画的引路石,也帮助他下定决心成为一名画家,故选D项。
Ⅷ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了河北省乐亭县的非物质文化遗产泥塑及传承人赵玉明以及乐亭泥塑从古到今的发展历史。因为没有多少经济效益,如今泥塑面临着后继无人的困境,在经济发展的今天,人们逐渐意识到保护和传承传统文化遗产的重要性。
1.A 由此处语境以及空后句中的“a responsibility,a source of pressure”可知A项中的an honor与此呼应,其中的not only与空后句中的more of相对应,故选A项。
2.D 设空处在第二段段首,为该段的主题句,接下来都在介绍泥塑的发展历史,故选D项。
3.C 与设空处上文中的“the prices were too low”相对应的是C项“每个泥塑才卖几分钱”。故选C项。
4.F 设空处上一句提到“如今商场里充满了高档玩具,泥塑逐渐失宠”,下文提到“赵玉明说虽然孩子们都有自己养家糊口的工作,但是他仍然希望把这项技艺传给他们和孙辈们”,所以F项“然而,一些工匠选择继续延续这一传统”符合语境,故选F项。
5.G 设空处上文阐述发展文化遗产的意义,所以接下来继续说明其更重大的意义。G项“更重要的是,它有助于实现建设‘美丽中国’的目标”符合语境,故选G项。
