I think that I always knew I wanted to become an artist.I can't remember a time when I wasn't drawing or painting pictures.My oldest sister and my brother were artistic, and watching them draw fascinated me.They had many different art supplies around the house.Boxes of pastels, little ink bottles and pens were very appealing.
My parents and friends soon saw that I had more than a passing interest in art.It came to define much of my image.Relatives gave me art related birthday gifts.At school I became “the kid who could draw”, a unique distinction, like “brainiest” or “best athlete”.
As I got a little older, I began copying pictures: cartoons, comic books, and magazine illustrations.
My third grade class wrote essays on what we wanted to be when we grew up.To me it was obvious.We read them aloud, and I told about the types of paintings I would some day try.I'd have turtles with paintbrushes tied to their backs walking around on a big sheet of paper.Or I'd fill squirt guns (水枪) with different colored paints and shoot at the canvas.I actually tried this with friends! Well, it sounded like a good idea.
One of the only discouraging childhood experiences about my artwork happened in the fourth grade.During study time I was drawing a picture.My teacher took it away and wrote an angry note home to my mother.“David would rather be drawing pictures than doing his work!!!” I couldn't believe it, three exclamation points.School “art classes” were pretty uninspiring.Art never seemed to be taken as seriously as other subjects.
In the eighth grade, a big career day was held.Months before, we wrote suggestions for careers we wanted to hear about.On the big day, guest speakers from many fields came to talk, but there wasn't one that came close to an art related field.
In high school it actually sank in that I was going to be an artist.I already knew.I'd always known.My parents were excited about my choice, too.As I looked into art schools, I felt like doors were being thrown wide open.Until then my art was a private thing, but at art school I found a place where everyone as “the kid who could draw”.
4.The author became interested in art because of ________.
A.his parents' wish
B.some schools' appeal
C.his family members' influence
D.some experts' suggestion
5.In the fourth grade, the author ________.
A.began copying pictures
B.drew with squirt guns
C.was discouraged by a teacher
D.got suggestions from guest speakers
6.From the last paragraph, we can learn that the author _________.
A.thanked his parents very much
B.went into a new world of art
C.was still the only kid who could draw
D.stopped learning art finally
7.The story inspires people to ________.

It has been described as art by some people, but to others it's an ugly part of modern life.What is it Graffiti, of course.Look around cities in the UK today and you can see graffiti on buildings, walls, doors and even on buses or trains that have stayed in one place for too long.But where modern technology creates a problem, it also finds a way to deal with it.Last week, The Weekend West was shown around the factory of a small but successful company, Hubdean.
Hubdean's achievement is a series of special paints which are graffiti resistant.How do they work It couldn't be simpler.Take any graffiti covered surface.First, a treatment called Agproclear is used.Then, using a very hot pressure jet (压力喷嘴), this treatment is taken away and the graffiti disappears at the same time.Now you have a clean wall.But before this clean wall can be painted on by graffiti lovers, a new product, Agproshield, is used.This paint has a special surface which gives it two important advantages.Firstly, spray paint (喷雾颜料) won't stick to the surface very well, and secondly, the whole surface can be cleaned very easily, just using water.Once the surface is painted, no specialist equipment is needed to keep the area clean and graffiti free.
Not surprisingly, Hubdean's products are used by both local governments and private companies all over the UK, and now orders are being received from around the world.This brings the company a problem, however.Can they increase production to satisfy the needs Of course, they can build a second factory or work with a large international company to make their products.The future is looking good for Hubdean!
8.What does the underlined word “graffiti resistant” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Painting graffiti. B.Keeping graffiti.
C.Preventing graffiti. D.Changing graffiti.
9.When should Agproshield be used
A.Before Agproclear is used.
B.When the wall is still clean.
C.When Agproclear doesn't work.
D.After graffiti is painted on the wall.
10.What can we learn about Hubdean
A.There is a good market for its products.
B.A large company is going to buy its products.
C.It is developing more new and better products.
D.Most of its business comes from private companies.
11.What would be the best title for the text
A.Is Hubdean successful
B.Is graffiti art Of course not!
C.Hubdean, a high tech company
D.Graffiti a problem Just wash it off!
D
Every year in May, museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo Da Vinci, who died in France on May 2,1519.He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and creative thinkers of all time.His most famous paintings are The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting, Landscape 8P which they think is Da Vinci's earliest known artwork.They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images (图像), not one.One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5, 1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old.It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence.There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off.Only a bridge over a river can be seen.But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left.Some people would call this “mirror writing”.It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks.The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian.She said, “Leonardo was born left handed, but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age.By looking at his writings, including from this drawing, we can see his right handed handwriting is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples (样本) and said they were both made by Leonardo.They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list.It will be part of an exhibit at Italy's Uffizi Gallery.The museum director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing techniques and his abilities in writing.
12.Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently
A.The Mona Lisa. B.The Last Supper.
C.Landscape 8P. D.Mirror writing.
13.What does the writing on the back probably tell about
A.A statement about the painting.
B.An introduction about Leonardo.
C.Something about the city of Florence.
D.An agreement to produce a painting.
14.What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia's words
A.He could write with either of his hands.
B.He did bad in right handed handwriting.
C.He wasn't good at writing with his right hand.
D.He taught himself to write with right hand.
15.What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research
A.Unclear. B.Positive.
C.Doubtful. D.Cold.

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。
One evening, it was raining heavily. An old lady was sitting inside her car, stuck in the middle of the road. It was clear that she needed help badly. A poorly dressed man went near her car. He was hesitating to speak to her but still approached.
The lady pulled down the glass of the driver's seat. She looked worried. She tried to wear a smile seeing a needy man approaching her.
The man opened his mouth,“Hello, Ma'am, can I help you?” The lady looked puzzled and said, “Yes.” “Please wait inside your car and let me see if I can solve the problem. By the way, I am Thomas Anderson,” Thomas said.
Thomas discovered that she got a flat tire (车胎漏气). Soon he went to fix the problem. After he finished, the lady began to talk to him.
She said, “I really don't have enough words to thank you. How much should I pay you?” She was actually ready to reward him for his kindness.
Thomas was surprised. He had never expected any reward from her, though his family needed money badly for their baby was going to be born the very next month.
He told her, “That's so nice of you, Ma'am. But if you really want to pay me back, the next time you see someone who needs help, please think of me and help that person. I hope this chain of love will not end with you.” He smiled and went away before the lady could further say anything.
The lady was so astonished. Anyone who saw the ragged (穿着破烂的) man would think how much he needed help. But he just told her something that she never thought of.
On her way, she found a small café down the road. She wanted to have a cup of warm coffee. As the lady went inside, a waitress came up to her with a very clean towel so that she could wipe her hair. The lady observed that the waitress, who was all smiles to her, was heavily pregnant (怀孕的). She looked like she needed rest but she tried not to show any sign of tiredness.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

While drinking the coffee, the old lady thought of Thomas and his words to her.

参考范文:
While drinking the coffee, the old lady thought of Thomas and his words to her. She knew what to do. After she finished, she paid her bill. When the waitress came back with the change, the lady was gone. The waitress looked for her outside the café but the lady and her car were out of sight. Confused, she came back. While she was about to clean the table, she found a note written on the napkin. The note read, “Someone helped me out just the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, please don't let this chain of love end with you.”
The waitress found that below the napkin (餐巾) there were 500 dollars. She wondered how the lady knew how much this money meant to her, with the baby to be born the very next month. She took the money and went back home. While having dinner, she shared the story of the kind lady with her husband, Thomas Anderson. Both of them realized that it was Thomas's kindness that was rewarded in a special way.
