Ⅲ.阅读理解
According to Americans for the Arts, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say that the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. Still, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017;23 percent visited an art museum;six percent attended a literary event. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
What has caused this phenomenon is that we do not have time for art—we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work but most of us rarely, if ever, went to see a live performance, let alone visited a gallery. And reading poetry Perhaps not since high school.
Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake. The arts might be the single most in-depth experience you will ever be given to explore the nature and meaning of life. And if you make time to consume and produce art, you will find your life fuller and happier.
Some philosophers address the problem of life consumed by work and material pursuit. They argue that art provides relief from this routine, in particular expanding our perspective and bringing us closer to the true reality.
Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture. Chances are that it stimulated(刺激) a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in”, you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury(奢侈品) item in your limited budgets of time and money. As such, it probably gets the same sort of treatment as any minor hobby. Don't make this error. Treat art more like exercise or sleep:a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction.
1.What does paragraph 1 focus on
A.The opinion of U.S. adults about art.
B.The types of art that U.S. adults engage in.
C.The mismatch between values and behaviour as to art.
D.The connection between everyday experiences and art.
2.What is a mistaken idea in the author's opinion
A.Art reveals the nature of life.
B.Art gives way to material pursuit.
C.Life without art is meaningless.
D.Background music is a kind of art.
3.What does the author want to convey in paragraph 5
A.Art awakes people's talents.
B.Art improves physical health.
C.Art brings us closer to nature.
D.Art makes life fuller and happier.
4.What might be the best title for the text
A.Art:A Necessity, Not a Luxury B.Art:A Bridge, Not a Barrier
C.Art:A Decoration, Not a Reality D.Art:A Pleasure, Not a Burden
Ⅳ.七选五
Street art is a very popular form of art that is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and trash cans. Even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists. 1
Art experts claim that the movement began in New York in the 1960s. 2 This colorful, energetic style of writing became known as graffiti(涂鸦). It showed that young people didn't want to accept rules and traveled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see.
One well-known New York street artist is Swoon. She cuts out paper images of people and puts them on walls or sets them up on sidewalks.
3 She studied art, but as time went on, she got bored with the work she saw in museums and galleries. Swoon started to create a strong and imaginative style, which attracted a lot of fans.
4 Some of them dislike artists who make so much money in galleries and museums. They choose street art because it is closer to people. Some artists try to convey their opinions in their work. They often want to protest against something. Advertising companies also use street art in their ads because it gives people the impression of youth and energy.
In today's world, the Internet has a big influence on street art. 5 Many city residents, however, say that seeing a picture on the Internet is never as good as seeing it live. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of a big city. There it will continue to change and grow.
A.There are various forms of street art.
B.Street art has become a global culture.
C.Street artists do their work for some reason.
D.Swoon didn't start her career as a street artist.
E.It was considered as a very new popular form of culture.
F.Artists can show their pictures to people all over the world.
G.Young adults sprayed(喷) words and other images on walls and trains.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lily loved school. However, there was one class Lily worried about more than any other—art. She didn't know why she just wasn't good at drawing or painting.
Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood in the front of the room. “Boys and girls, an art competition will be held in our school,” she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Lily liked her a lot. But this announcement made Lily nervous. “Every one of the 210 students in the school is required to create a piece of artwork. Any type of artwork is welcomed. Next Friday you will have to hand in your artworks.” Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Lily found herself sinking lower in her chair.
Lily spent the whole weekend working on her artwork, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Lily felt discouraged, so after school Lily went to Ms. Clay's office and asked Ms. Clay if there was any possibility that she wouldn't enter the competition. “I understand it may worry and upset you, Lily,” Ms. Clay said. “But just remember:art isn't always painting or drawing. It can be something else. I am sure you can think of something very creative, and I can't wait to see it.”
When Lily arrived home, she sat at the table and was lost in thought. She thought of Ms. Clay's words. “Art isn't always painting or drawing. It can be something else.” Staring at her table, suddenly she was attracted to a pair of scissors and some paper.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
At that moment,a good idea struck her.
On Friday,Lily went to school early with her artwork.

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.whose 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,与前面内容用逗号隔开,后面的goal前缺少定语,故推测设空处引导定语从句并在从句中作定语,所以用关系代词whose引导从句。
2.named 考查过去分词。被修饰词artist与提示词name之间为逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填named。

4.a 考查冠词。固定结构a collection of...意为“一批……”。故填a。
5.showing 考查现在分词。设空处前面是there be句型,句中已有谓语,故设空处应用非谓语动词;提示词show与其逻辑主语(a collection of nearly 100 bronze objects)之间为主动关系,所以设空处应用现在分词作状语。故填showing。
6.Finally 考查副词。设空处位于句首,提示词为形容词,后面有逗号,且后面的句子意思完整,所以设空处应用副词作状语,修饰整个句子。故填Finally。
7.was influenced 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,设空处作谓语,根据时间状语During that period和语境可知应用一般过去时;结合语境和空后的by可知设空处应用被动语态;sculpture作“雕塑(艺术)”讲时为不可数名词,谓语动词应用单数。故填was influenced。
8.tourists 考查名词复数。tourist为可数名词,设空处前面没有冠词等限定词,所以应用复数形式。故填tourists。
9.wonderful 考查形容词。设空处修饰其后的名词world,应用形容词。故填wonderful。
10.to 考查介词。固定短语bring...to life意为“使……鲜活起来”,这里为其被动语态。故填to。

2.recognized 考查过去分词。句意:他独特而俏皮的画风开辟了中国传统绘画意象的新前景,留下了丰富的遗产,仍被现代社会广泛认可。“still widely 2 in modern society”作a rich legacy的后置定语,提示词recognize与a rich legacy之间为被动关系,应用过去分词。故填recognized。
3.that 考查状语从句。句意:这些“虾”是如此受欢迎,以至于它们已经变得与画家本人密不可分。so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”,引导结果状语从句。故填that。
4.to model 考查动词不定式。句意:他用不同色调的墨来勾画虾的躯干和头部。根据语境可知设空处表示目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to model。

8.settled 考查动词的时态。句意:1919年,齐在北京定居,并很快在中国首都获得了广泛的声誉。分析句子可知,设空处作谓语,由时间状语in 1919可知应用一般过去时。故填settled。

Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人们没有时间参与艺术活动这种现象和艺术的重要性,最后作者表明艺术应该是生活中的必需品而不是奢侈品。
1.C 主旨大意题。第一段提到,根据美国艺术协会的说法,超过三分之二的美国成年人说艺术“让我超越了日常经历”。但在2017年,只有30%的人参加了任意类型的音乐会;23%的人参观了艺术博物馆;6%的人参加了文学活动。只有不到一半的人积极创作任意形式的艺术。由此可知,第一段主要讲的是就艺术而言,人们的价值观和行为之间不匹配。故选C。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Too often, we let the realities of life get in the way of the arts, which can feel insignificant by comparison. But this is a mistake.”可知,艺术让位于现实生活的物质追求是错误的想法。故选B。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or recall your fast heartbeats as you stared at a delicate lifelike sculpture.”并结合选项可推断,作者在第五段想表达的是艺术使生活更充实、更快乐。故选D。
4.A 主旨大意题。
根据文章结构可知,文章主要论述了人们没有时间参与艺术活动这种现象和艺术的重要性,所以艺术应该是生活中的必需品而不是奢侈品。由此可知,A项最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。

【差距词汇】 1.weigh down使烦恼;使焦虑;使忧心忡忡
2.in-depth adj.深入的;彻底的
长难句
原句 If you are among those who feel that art is “pure pleasure to experience and participate in”, you might see it the same way you see eating out, or skydiving: as a luxury item in your limited budgets of time and money.
分析 本句为主从复合句。If引导条件状语从句;who引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词those;that引导宾语从句,作feel的宾语;“you see eating out, or skydiving”是省略了关系词that或者in which的定语从句,修饰先行词the same way。
译文 如果你是那些认为艺术是“体验和参与的纯粹乐趣”的人中的一员,你可能会像看待在外面吃饭或跳伞一样看待它:在你有限的时间和金钱预算中,它是一种奢侈品。
Ⅳ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了街头艺术作为一种流行的艺术形式正在迅速传播到世界各地,并且成为一种全球文化。
1.B 主旨句。设空处位于段尾,应该是本段的主旨句。设空处上文提到,街头艺术是一种非常流行的艺术形式,在世界各地迅速传播。你可以在建筑物、人行道、路牌和垃圾桶上找到它。甚至艺术博物馆和画廊也在收集街头艺术家的作品。由此可知,街头艺术已经在全球范围内发展和传播。B项“街头艺术已经成为一种全球文化。”总结上文。故选B。
2.G 过渡句。设空处与上下文构成的语意结构为:艺术专家声称,这一运动始于20世纪60年代的纽约。→ 2 →这种丰富多彩、充满活力的书写方式被称为涂鸦。G项“年轻人在墙上和火车上喷涂文字和其他图像。”承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
3.D 细节句。设空处下文提到,她学习艺术,但随着时间的推移,她对在博物馆和画廊里看到的作品感到厌倦。D项“Swoon的职业生涯并非始于街头艺术家。”能引出下文。故选D。
4.C 主旨句。设空处位于段首,应该是本段的主旨句。设空处下文提到,他们中的一些人不喜欢那些在画廊和博物馆赚那么多钱的艺术家。他们选择街头艺术是因为它更贴近大众。有些艺术家试图在作品中表达自己的观点。由此可知,C项“街头艺术家出于某种原因从事他们的工作。”能够概括本段内容。故选C。
5.F 过渡句。设空处与上下文构成的语意结构为:在当今世界,互联网对街头艺术有很大的影响。→ 5 →然而,许多城市居民表示,在网上看图画绝对不如在现场看图画好。街头艺术运动具有大城市的活力和生命力。F项“艺术家可以向全世界的人展示他们的图画。”承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【高频词汇】 1.spread v.传播 2.collect v.收集
3.claim v.声称 4.movement n.运动 5.energetic adj.充满活力的 6.imaginative adj.富有想象力的 7.protest v.反对;抗议 8.various adj.各种各样的
【熟词生义】 live adv.在现场观看/直播/表演/录制
长难句
原句 It showed that young people didn't want to accept rules and traveled around cities to create paintings that everyone could see.
分析 本句为主从复合句。第一个that引导宾语从句,作动词showed的宾语;在宾语从句中,and连接两个并列的谓语didn't want和traveled;第二个that引导定语从句,修饰先行词paintings。
译文 这表明年轻人不想接受规则,他们在城市里游历,以创作出每个人都能看到的画。

发展 莉莉利用整个周末的时间来创作她的艺术作品,但她想不出有什么可做的。星期一放学后莉莉去找克莱老师,问她有没有可能不参加比赛。但克莱老师的鼓舞和信任让莉莉陷入了沉思。突然她被一把剪刀和一些纸吸引住了。

One possible version:
At that moment,a good idea struck her. Why not make the paper-cutting She remembered Grandma Li next door could make some lifelike paper-cutting. Lily jumped with joy at the thought. “I can ask Grandma Li to teach me to make the paper-cutting!” She grabbed the scissors and ran out. For the next few days, the moment Lily went back from school, she went to learn paper-cutting from Grandma Li. She was very excited when her artwork was finally completed.
On Friday,Lily went to school early with her artwork. The bell rang and Ms. Clay stepped in. “Are your artworks ready ” Lily and her classmates answered loudly, “Yes!” Seeing Lily sitting in her chair confidently, Ms. Clay went to her and gently picked up her paper-cutting—several children playing in the garden. “How creative your artwork is!” Ms. Clay said and gave Lily a thumbs-up. Lily felt very proud and thought, “Maybe I can make an artist in the future.”
