三 技巧点拨
“文学、艺术与体育”属于课程标准提出的“人与社会”主题语境中的内容。
其主要涉及日常生活中常见的休闲方式和体育运动，一般不会涉及特别时尚、前沿的娱乐活动或者那些鲜为人知的体育运动。
这类主题的具体考查方向主要有：谈论活动的内容、时间、地点，咨询当事人的感受，介绍或描述一场比赛、一个电视节目、一部电影、一场艺术展览等。
解答本类题目的关键在于听录音时抓住一些关键词，比如听到cinema就知道与电影有关，听到win或beat就可以推断出谈论的是比赛结果。因此，只有熟悉各种活动的基本表达方式才能明确话题的中心内容和说话者的活动内容，从而为做出正确的判断打下良好的基础。

听力原文
W:Good evening. This is Meeting Artists. Our guest today is James Patrick Kuhn, the“happy”artist. Mr.Kuhn is famous for his colorful murals, that is, pictures painted on the wall. Welcome Happy. Our audience is curious about how you got your name.
M:My initials are JP. In Spanish, they're pronounced "jota pe". And my Mexican friends called me so when we were in Mexico
W:What inspired you to become an artist
M:My father was an oil painting artist. He used to work in the living room. One day when I was six, I put some paint on one of his paintings when he was out. First, he was mad. Then he laughed. That was all it took to make me an artist.
W:How do you describe your work
M:16My work speaks to the five-year-olds in all of us though we become experienced when we grow up. We're always five years old at heart. We all want to have fun.
W:That's a unique idea, which is why your art is so special. Thank you very much for coming, Happy, and for bringing us so much happiness.
解题指导
13.C本题考查女士正在做什么。根据女士提到的关键词guest和audience可知，女士正在主持一档节目。
14.C本题考查Kuhn的名字“Happy的由来。对话中女士称呼Kuhn为“the ‘happy' artist”,提到观众好奇Kuhn名字的由来，于是Kuhn说“My initials are JP. In Spanish, they're pronounced ‘jota pe',”, 意思就是“Happy”这个名字来自他名字首字母的西班牙语发音。
15.B本题考查是谁发现了Kuhn的艺术天赋。Kuhn提到他的父亲是一名油画家，他在他父亲的画上涂了一些颜料，他父亲一开始很生气，然后就笑了，这就是他成为一名艺术家的由来。因此，是他的父亲发现了他的艺术天赋。
l6.C本题考查什么使Kuhn的艺术与众不同。Kuhn最后提到“虽然我们长大了会变得经验丰富，但我的作品吸引的是我们心中那个五岁的自己。我们的内心永远是五岁。”，女士回应这种想法很独特，这也是Kuhn的艺术与众不同的原因。三个选项中，C项中提到childlike innocence“童心”，与Kuhn表达的意思一致。
