An exhibition of Song Buyun's works is now running at the museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts． The exhibition will run through Feb．27．
These days，a long awaited snowfall in Beijing easily creates a sensation(轰动) online． One needn't go outside to feel people's excitement at a blanket of snow，as a glimpse of the photos and videos uploaded on social media will be enough．
Seventy years ago，however，while snow was common in Beijing，cameras were seldom to be seen；few were able to record the scenery of this historical city． One of the few was Song Buyun，the late oil painter and watercolorist who walked the streets and recorded the beauty of Beijing's centuries old architecture．
Cultural landmarks frozen in time are displayed in Song's Beijing landscape series，picturing the peaceful atmosphere of the city's historical spots over the course of a year，such as Tiantan． He documented people visiting the Palace Museum，swimming in lakes and clearing snow off the streets．
Dying in 1992，Song didn't have a chance to show this body of his work during his lifetime． It was eight years later that these paintings were made public for the first time at an exhibition held in his memory．
“Song's paintings show the harmony between architecture and its surroundings，” says Fan Di'an，dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts．“The colours are vivid and arranged tastefully to give a refreshing look to these old buildings． Combining skills of Chinese and Western art，his works preserve the varied landscape of a city，and under his brushwork，Song injected rich emotions，allowing his works to stand the test of time．”

2．C [考查形容词。句意：但是，仔细看，你会发现很多东西很逼真……但事实并非如此。根据下文的“This fishing village is full of Trompe L'oeil — an art form in which nothing is what it appears to be．”可知，这个渔村充满了错视画，它是一种所展现的事物其实什么都没有的艺术形式。因为是什么都没有，所以应该是看起来似乎是真实的，其实不是真实的。故选C项。]

4．D [考查副词。句意：最初，卡莫利的渔民为他们的房屋涂上鲜艳的色彩和不寻常的图案，以便他们可以从水中容易地看到自己的房屋。根据上文“Trompe L'oeil has been around for centuries．”可知，错视画这种艺术形式已经存在几个世纪了，接下来介绍错视画的起源。故选D项。]
5．B [考查副词。句意同上题。根据常识可知，渔民将房屋涂上颜色是为了从水中容易地看到自己的房屋。故选B项。]

1．which [考查非限制性定语从句。句意：它的名字来自日语单词tomodachi的后半部分，意思是朋友。从句是先行词的附加说明，去掉了也不会影响主句的意思，它与主句之间用逗号分开，故此句为非限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句关系词只能用which，不能用that。故填which。]

4．until/till [考查连词。句意：有一天，“我”不知道他还坐在“我”的肩膀上，直到门在“我”身后大声关上。not... until/till直到……才，为固定搭配，引导时间状语从句。故填until/till。]

7．immediately [考查副词。句意：听到这个消息“我”如释重负，立刻开车去了她家。此处修饰动词drove，应用所给词的副词形式作状语。immediate立刻的、即刻的，是形容词，其副词形式是immediately。故填immediately。]

10．sitting [考查非谓语动词。句意：于是在开车回家的路上Dachi坐在“我”肩上，吹着口哨。sit在句子中作伴随状语，主语Dachi与动词sit之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用sit的动词 ing形式。故填sitting。]
