(2024四川成都七中期中)
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 innovative 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 to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin s awe-inspiring works 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.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Benjamin s visit to Philadelphia.
B.Williams influence on Benjamin.
C.The beginning of Benjamin s life as an artist.
D.The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggest
A.The cat would be closely watched.　　　B.The cat would get some medical care.
C.Benjamin would leave his home shortly.　　　D.Benjamin would have real brushes soon.
3.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent
A.He took him to see painting exhibitions.　　　B.He provided him with painting materials.
C.He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.　　　D.He taught him how to make engravings.
4.What did Williams two books help Benjamin to do
A.To master the use of paints.　　　B.To appreciate landscape paintings.
C.To get to know other painters.　　　D.To make up his mind to be a painter.

Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people s living rooms, and the sides of buildings. So, why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication.　1　 It s a way for them to express themselves before they re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
　2　 When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context.　3　 This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 　4　
In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 　5　 In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A.These are its major benefits.
B.Children love to draw, sing and dance.
C.How does it have an impact on our life
D.Art and human history go hand in hand.
E.It can help people handle mental problems.
F.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
G.Similarly, future generations will learn about current events by the art we leave behind.

Ⅰ.1.wire　2.trend　3.contrast　4.innovative　5.abstract
Ⅱ.题型(一)
1.puzzled; puzzling　考查分词。句意:当我注意到他看起来困惑时,我意识到他不理解这个令人困惑的问题。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,第一空作表语,表示人的表情,意为“困惑的”,故填 puzzled;第二空作定语,修饰物,意为“令人困惑的”,故填puzzling。
特别提醒　　　分词作表语时,大多数都已经被形容词化了。-ing形式的形容词作表语时,一般是物作主语,通常表示“某事/某物令人……的”;而-ed形式的形容词作表语时,一般是人作主语,表示人的感受,意为“感到……的”。
2.seated　考查过去分词作表语。句意:请坐好别动;获奖者很快就会被公布。 remain为连系动词,此处表示主语的状态,所以填seated,意为“入座的,坐下来的”。

6.convincing　考查现在分词作表语。句意:她说的话听起来很有说服力,但我认为它是个谎言。本空在句中作表语,根据句意可知,本空应用现在分词convincing,意为“有说服力的”。
7.to help　考查动词不定式作表语。句意:帮助别人就是帮助我们自己,所以当别人有困难时,要毫不犹豫地提供你的帮助。本空在句中作表语,主语为不定式短语To help others,故本空应用不定式作表语。
特别提醒　　　不定式或动名词在句中作表语时,要注意与句子的主语在形式上保持一致,即若句子的主语用动名词,则表语也应使用动名词;若主语为不定式,则表语也使用不定式。例如,To see is to believe./Seeing is believing.眼见为实。
8.delighted　考查过去分词作表语。句意:显然,我们都非常高兴地欢迎另一只小牛加入我们的黑犀牛家庭。delighted表示人的情绪,意为“感到高兴的”。
Ⅱ.题型(二)
1.disturbing　考查现在分词作表语。句意:他1953年大学毕业,当时中国很多人都在遭受饥饿,这是令人不安的。此处作表语,形容事或物本身具有的性质,设空处意为“令人不安的”,故填disturbing。

1.C　主旨大意题。本文讲述了美国画家Benjamin West小时候的画画经历及他是如何立志成为一名画家的,故选C。
2.D　推理判断题。本段主要讲了Benjamin的堂兄Pennington由于被Benjamin的绘画才能打动,于是送给他一些颜料和一些真正的画笔,所以画线句“猫的境地将得到改善”是表明Benjamin很快有了真正的画笔,不用剪猫的毛来做画笔了。故选D。
3.B　细节理解题。由文章的第三段可知,Benjamin的堂兄Pennington给他提供了颜料和画笔;由第四段可知Pennington给他提供了创作油画的材料,故选B。
4.D　推理判断题。从文章的最后一段可知Williams给了他两本有关画画的经典著作,但是他其实不是很懂,不过却爱不释手。同时从最后一句“The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.”也可以推断出这两本书帮助他下定决心成为一名画家。故选D。

长难句　原句　This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
分析　本句为主从复合句。“when compared with children”为状语从句的省略; “who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing”为who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词children。
译文　与那些被指示画消极事件或只是复制另一幅画的孩子相比,这组孩子的情绪得到了改善。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了喜欢绘画的Minh Best通过售卖自己的画作来参加度假营的故事。

译文　随着她的画作不断售出,Minh的家人希望能够帮助其他孩子参加这些度假营,并通过这些捐款来提供经济援助。
