第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn't miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document in fifteenth-century society, through Van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital in Saint-Rémy, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well-known, but it has since become one of Van Gogh's most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs within the months of July and August. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.
21.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A.The Arnolfini Portrait. B.The Starry Night.
C.The Harvesters. D.Guernica.
22.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night
A.It was painted on wood in oil.
B.It described the painter's life in hospital.
C.It wasn't widely recognized before the 1940s.
D.It was given away to the museum by a private collector.
23.Who created the painting representing the massive catastrophe Nazi brought to people
A.Jan van Eyck. B.Vincent van Gogh.
C.Pieter Bruegel the Elder. D.Pablo Picasso.

Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures every day. When she grew older, the 15-year-old girl discovered the joy of sewing(缝纫). She said that it made her calm. She started out to make small things, like jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing. Her love of the creative work led her to start a business. Three Blue Bunnies is the name of her company, which makes what she calls “wearable art”.
“My definition of wearable art is something that makes you feel unique. It's one of a kind and often handmade.”
All the pieces Ellie created were made of used or donated fabrics. She worked a lot with jean jackets, renewing them with artistic additions. The process started with finding a piece of material that looked good with the jackets. “Then, I find out the design that works on it through trial and error(反复尝试),” she added.
Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie “a dream student”. She said Ellie worked hard and made progress. “She is always not only very creative, but also very kind and helpful to the other students.”
Ellie has many dreams. She wants to be a teacher and to spread the joy of creativity among children. She also dreams her business will grow and become a model for other young people who have a dream they want to realize.

Claude Monet is surely one of the most famous French artists of all. Monet was particularly interested in the effect of light and would paint the same scene in different lighting conditions or at different times of the day. For example, he painted around 20 versions of Rouen Cathedral from dawn to dusk. His most famous paintings include his Water Lilies series.
The paintings of Paul Cézanne had a lot of influence on the development of the 20th-century art, including Cubism and Fauvism(野兽派). Cézanne is one of the most famous French artists and is known for “postimpressionism”, which is similar in some ways to Impressionism but breaks away from some of its limitations. Famous French paintings include his The Large Bathers and Mont Sainte-Victoire series.
Henri Matisse was one of the most famous French artists of the 20th century. He is considered one of the leaders of Fauvism. He had a long and varied artistic career, painting in different styles ranging from Impressionism to abstractionism. In 1941, Matisse was diagnosed with cancer and was forced into a wheelchair. But this didn't stop him completing the amazing Chapel of the Rosary in Vence.
Degas is probably one of the most fascinating ones of all the famous French artists. He is known as one of the founders of Impressionism, but his paintings were also influenced by classicism, romanticism, and realism. His style is definitely very unique. He is a prolific(多产的) artist, producing over one thousand works. He is best known for his paintings of ballet dancers.

Paintings and sculptures can be a feast for the eyes of visitors to art museums, but today their viewing is also an unconventional treatment for people with mental illness.
Last month, a group of Canadian doctors started to write a new kind of prescription(处方), which gives patients free access to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA). There, they will have a “relaxing and refreshing experience” looking at the museum's collections.
Each prescription will allow not only the patients but also their family or friends to go with them. In the museum, the visitor can appreciate the artworks, and take part in a wide range of activities including drawing, sewing and making a sculpture with recycled materials.
The new treatment is said to be the first of its kind in the world. But there's increasing evidence that the display of visual art, especially art depicting(描绘) nature, can have positive effects on people with depression, anxiety and self-respect problems.
In 2017, the UK's All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing (APPGAHW) also released a report stating that “the time has come to recognize the powerful contribution the arts can make to our health and well-being”.
Is it possible for art to improve overall health We may not know the answer yet. But one thing is certain—more and more people today are persuaded by the idea that “art is good medicine”.
32.What prescription did the group of Canadian doctors give to mental patients
A.Get conventional treatment.
B.Relax by experiencing nature.
C.Join in some physical activities.
D.Appreciate paintings and sculptures.
33.What can the patients do in the museum
A.Depict nature. B.Watch art workers.
C.Sew clothes. D.Recycle sculptures.
34.What do we know about the new treatment
A.It can relieve depression.
B.Nothing can prove it right so far.
C.It was used before by some visual artists.
D.The APPGAHW doubted its contribution to health.
35.What is the best title for the passage
A.Is there a better medicine than art
B.Will the arts improve mental health
C.Is there a new treatment for artists
D.Will the MMFA be open to patients

Drawing is a great way to express yourself and share your creativity with others. 36 That's because you need only simple supplies. Check out these tips to make your drawing skills better.
Gather supplies.
One of the best parts about drawing is that you can get started right away with paper and pencils you already have. Drawing in a sketchbook(素描册) is also a great idea. 37 You can also experiment with other drawing materials, like colored pencils or markers.
Pick your subject.
When thinking about what to draw, choose something you feel excited about. 38 Items around your home, like a bowl of fruit or a favorite toy, can also be great subjects. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, seek inspiration online and print out what you'd like to draw.
Draw often.
39 If something does attract you, try to work on it as often as you can. Put a small sketchbook in your backpack so you can draw when you have free time, like when you're waiting for an activity to start. You could even give yourself mini challenges. For example, you can draw the same object for a week and see how much you improve.
Seek more resources.
You can improve your drawing by practicing on your own, but you can also get better with help. Ask a librarian to help you search for step-by-step drawing books at your local or school library. Museums and art studios in your area may also offer drawing classes. 40
A.It is also an easy hobby to pursue.
B.It takes practice to get really good at drawing.
C.You won't draw perfectly unless you're patient enough.
D.Ask an art teacher at school to point you in the right direction.
E.It can help you easily look back at your work and see your progress.
F.When you start drawing, think of your subject in terms of simple shapes.
G.You could draw a beautiful tree or go to a local park and sketch the landscape.

Frank Mason opened a new art gallery. He intended to use the gallery to showcase the best artworks from local artists, many of whom deserved to be more well-known. He hung a highly detailed landscape by Sheila, his favorite artist. It was valuable as she had disappeared several years ago.
A few years later, Frank had grown his gallery into a business. One cold day, Frank stood at the window and watched the strong winds send snow down the street outside. He noticed a woman standing outside. Snowflakes covered her shoulders. He opened the door and greeted her. The woman shook her head, “I haven't got any money. I just wanted to get out of the snow for a bit.” Frank felt bad for her being stuck out in the cold.
“Do you like art ” he asked. “I love art. Unfortunately, I can only afford to visit free galleries.” The lady quickly spoke out a few names. Frank was surprised to hear she loved many of the same little-known artists as he did. He would never expect this poor woman to have such a good understanding of art and he noticed the woman's hands trembled violently.
“Don't mind my shivers(颤抖),” she said. “I've struggled to get medication since I lost my home.” Frank felt a rush of sympathy. He showed her around the gallery and finally decided to end the tour with his favorite piece. He opened the door to the room that contained his private collection. The woman pointed to the landscape on display. “That's mine,” she said. “I painted that.”
“What ” Frank was shocked. The woman showed Frank her social security card.
“You're one of my favorite artists. What happened to you ” Frank asked. “I developed Parkinson's disease(帕金森病),” Sheila sighed. “I couldn't paint anymore.” Frank offered her a job helping to care for his children and asked her to live with his family in order to cure her disease.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Sheila looked up at him in surprise.
One day,Sheila called Frank into her room to show him something.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。在过去的十年里,生活在北京的希腊摄影师乔治·杜帕斯一直在拍摄这座城市,捕捉它的美丽,并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。
56.and 考查连词。分析句子可知,空后的sharing和前面的photographing、capturing是并列关系,应用表示并列的连词and连接。
57.truly 考查副词。设空处修饰动词represents,应用副词。故填truly。

第二节
One possible version:
Sheila looked up at him in surprise. Sheila moved in with Frank. The children didn't have living grandparents and were delighted to have Sheila in their lives. When the local art community discovered what had happened to Sheila, they got together to hold a fundraiser for her. Frank immediately offered his gallery as the venue. And Sheila's disease gradually recovered.
One day, Sheila called Frank into her room to show him something. In the corner stood a painting of his children. Frank felt very surprised at the painting and said, “How did you do it ” Sheila said,“Now I'm back on my medicine. There are days when the shivers aren't that bad. A few weeks ago, I decided to try painting again and see how it would go.” Sheila lifted the painting and held it out to Frank. “It's not my best work, but I hope you'll accept this as a sign of my gratitude.”
