Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了街头艺术家Shane Grammer在加利福尼亚州历史上最致命的野火发生后,用喷漆在废墟上创作壁画,带给受害者希望的故事。
1.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the past years, it’s the murals (壁画) he painted on damaged walls throughout the town of Paradise, California that have gained attention and touched viewers.”可知,Grammer因在天堂镇的废墟上的画作而受到关注,故选C项。
2.B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“‘You bring beauty and hope,’ one posted.”可知,Grammer在野火后画壁画是为了给受害者带来希望,故选B项。
3.A 代词指代题。根据文章最后一段“‘I want to do something powerful and make art that emotionally influences people,’said Grammer in an interview with KRCR. ‘I think any artist would consider that as their ultimate goal.’”可知,that指的是创造感人的艺术,故选A项。
4.A 推理判断题。根据第一段“Shane Grammer’s artwork can be found in cities in Mexico, South Korea, Dubai and beyond. In the past years, it’s the murals(壁画)he painted on damaged walls throughout the town of Paradise, California that have gained attention and touched viewers.”、第三段“With Edwards’ permission, Grammer then used spray paint to transform Edwards’ burnt chimney into a strikingly black-and-white portrait of a woman, a piece he called Beauty Among the Ashes.”以及最后一段“He has started a foundation called the Art Through Hope Foundation where he intends to bring peace through his art to those affected by tragedy.”可知,文章主要讲述了街头艺术家Shane Grammer在野火后的废墟上创作壁画,带给受害者希望的故事。所以文章的最佳标题为“从灰烬到艺术:街头艺术家的希望壁画”。故选A项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了艺术如何促进经济发展。
1.D 根据上文“When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theatre.”(当大多数人想到艺术时,他们想象的是最终产品、一幅美丽的画、一首美妙的音乐,或者剧院里一场获奖的表演。)以及后文“Unfortunately, the economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.”(不幸的是,艺术的经济影响往往被忽视和糟糕地判断。)可知,本句承接上文,继续说明艺术给人们带来的好处。故D选项“事实上,艺术团体给我们的社区带来更广泛的价值,尤其是在经济方面。”符合语境,且与下文是转折关系。故选D。
2.A 根据上文“The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people can earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.”(艺术创造了有助于发展经济的工作。任何指定的表演都需要一辆满载艺术家、技术专家、音乐家或作家的巡演巴士来创造一件吸引人的艺术品。这些人可以用他们的专业知识和技能赚取维持生活的工资。)以及后文“Digital media experts, photographers and advertising agents are hired to sell tickets and promote the event.”(数字媒体专家、摄影师和广告代理商被雇用来销售门票和宣传活动。)可知,后文提到了宣传活动,由此可推测本句与宣传活动有关。A选项中的market对应后文中的promote。故A选项“需要另一个团体来帮助推广这项活动。”符合语境,故选A。
3.E 根据后文“In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theatre performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programmes in 2008. Besides tickets, some jazz lovers nearby will pay their transport fares to and from the events.”可知,后文的例子表明艺术社团会给社区带来收入,产生积极影响。故E选项“一个成功的艺术社区会在整个社区产生一系列的影响。”符合语境,故选E。
4.F 根据上文“Arts contribute to cultural development.”(艺术促进文化发展。)以及后文“When they gather together, they will share their experiences and renew their energy. As a result, cultures find the way to exchange, and economy can be advanced.”(当他们聚在一起时,他们会分享他们的经历,恢复他们的能量。因此,文化找到了交流的途径,经济能够得到发展。)可知,后文提到了文化交流,由此推测本句是在说明后文they所指代的人群,且与文化有关。故F选项“艺术家和观众都来自不同的背景。”符合语境,故选F。
5.B 根据上文“It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. If you are a student studying the arts, odds are that you have been ill-advised to have a Plan B.”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故总结上文,指出学习艺术的学生如何选择未来的职业道路。故B选项“记住以上的分析,你不必担心你的职业生涯,有一个替代计划。”符合语境,总结上文。故选B。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要以传统中国画为主题,讲述了其与西方绘画在表现形式、意境表达方面的不同。
1.fundamentally 考查副词。分析句子可知,这里应是副词作状语。fundamental(根本的)的副词形式为fundamentally。故填fundamentally。
2.in 考查介词。分析语境可知,这里将中国画与西方绘画相比较,in comparison to为固定短语,意为“与……相比较”。故填in。
3.harmonious 考查形容词。分析句子可知,此处为形容词作定语修饰名词relation。harmony(和谐)为名词,其形容词形式为harmonious(和谐的)。故填harmonious。
4.to achieve 考查动词不定式。tend to do sth意为“往往……,倾向于做某事”,动词不定式作宾语。故填to achieve。
5.are concerned 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。be concerned about为固定搭配,意为“担心”,且结合语境可知,这里应是一般现在时,few painters为复数,故be动词用are。故填are concerned。
6.where 考查定语从句引导词。分析句子可知,此处引导定语从句,先行词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
7.have been 考查时态和主谓一致。空处为句子的谓语动词,再结合时间状语since ancient times可知应用现在完成时,主语为复数,助动词应用have。故填have been。
8.existence 考查名词。natural为形容词,修饰名词,因此应填名词形式。exist的名词形式为existence。故填existence。
9.an 考查不定冠词。part为可数名词,此处表泛指,且important的发音为元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
10.enjoying 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,“…great popularity at home and abroad”为状语,这里应是非谓语形式。主语the Chinese painting与动词enjoy之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填enjoying。Unit 1 ART
你听说过《蒙娜丽莎》吗 知道它是谁的名作吗 让我们一起来了解一下吧!
She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But at over 500 years of age, time is catching up with Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci (莱昂纳多·达·芬奇) during 1503—1506, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed. “The thin, wooden panel (嵌板) on which Mona Lisa is painted in oils has lost its shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed the change but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly six million people go to see Mona Lisa every year, and many are attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision is excellent at picking up details, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him until his death, and it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis Ⅰ in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre Museum by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hiding it under his coat. He said he had planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World War Ⅱ, the French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
Like many old ladies, Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.

Shane Grammer’s artwork can be found in cities in Mexico, South Korea, Dubai and beyond.In the past years, it’s the murals (壁画) he painted on damaged walls throughout the town of Paradise, California that have gained attention and touched viewers.
In 2018, the Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California’s history, swept through Paradise, flattening entire communities, killing scores of people, and displacing tens of thousands. Grammer,whose hometown was just 15 miles from Paradise, was living with his family and working in the Los Angeles area when he saw accounts of the destruction on his friends’ social media pages. A single mother he knew shared a photo of ash and rubble where her home once stood. A childhood friend’s post showed her burned-down house. After he saw a photo of a friend Shane Edwards’ home, which had been reduced to a brick wall with only a chimney standing, he was driven to paint it.
With Edwards’ permission, Grammer then used spray paint to transform Edwards’ burnt chimney into a strikingly black-and-white portrait of a woman, a piece he called Beauty Among the Ashes. Once the image was posted on Instagram, the victims of the fire, especially, could not contain themselves. “You bring beauty and hope,” one posted. Over three months, the 47-year-old created a series of more than a dozen spray-painted murals on the remains of buildings and vehicles rendered useless by the flames. The images included a victim of the fire, a young girl who survived but lost her house, and a series of religious characters.
As a street artist, Grammer has committed his life to creating more art installations (艺术装置) all over the world that connect people through tragic life events. He has started a foundation called the Art Through Hope Foundation where he intends to bring peace through his art to those affected by tragedy. “I want to do something powerful and make art that emotionally influences people,” said Grammer in an interview with KRCR. “I think any artist would consider that as their ultimate goal. And to me, that is the biggest miracle I feel like.”
( )1.What has led to Grammer’s rising to fame
A.The Art Through Hope Foundation.
B.The post of a burnt-down house.
C.His paintings on the ruins in Paradise.
D.His art installations all over the world.
( )2.Why did Grammer paint murals after the Camp Fire
A.To record the wildfire.
B.To bring hope to the victims.
C.To add beauty to the ashes.
D.To remember his friend’s home.
( )3.What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Creating touching art.
B.Working miracles in art.
C.Bringing peace through art.
D.Doing something powerful.
( )4.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.From ashes to art: street artist’s murals of hope
B.From Paradise to worldwide: street artist’s journey
C.From tragedy to hope: the story of Shane Grammer
D.From mural to miracle: Shane Grammer’s art mission

How arts promote our economy
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theatre. 1. Unfortunately, the economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.
The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people can earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills. 2. Digital media experts, photographers and advertising agents are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full- or part-time employees or independent contractors.
3. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theatre performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programmes in 2008.Besides tickets, some jazz lovers nearby will pay their transport fares to and from the events.
Arts contribute to cultural development. 4. When they gather together, they will share their experiences and renew their energy. As a result, cultures find the way to exchange, and economy can be advanced. It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. If you are a student studying the arts, odds are that you have been ill-advised to have a Plan B. 5.
A.Another group is needed to help market the event.
B.Above analysis in mind, you needn’t worry about your career and have an alternative plan.
C.The arts boost the development of economy throughout a community despite the side effects.
D.In fact, arts groups bring broader value to our communities, especially in economy.
E.A successful arts neighbourhood creates a series of effects throughout a community.
F.Artists and audience are all from diverse backgrounds.
G.Culture binds together not only hearts and souls, but the entire society.

Shane Grammer's artwork can be found in cities in Mexico,
South Korea, Dubai and beyond. In the past years, it's the
murals (壁画) he painted on damaged walls throughout the
town of Paradise, California that have gained attention and
touched viewers.

In 2018, the Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California's
history, swept through Paradise, flattening entire communities,
killing scores of people, and displacing tens of thousands.
Grammer,whose hometown was just 15 miles from Paradise, was
living with his family and working in the Los Angeles area when
he saw accounts of the destruction on his friends' social media
pages. A single mother he knew shared a photo of ash and
rubble where her home once stood. A childhood friend's post
showed her burned-down house. After he saw a photo of a
1
2

friend Shane Edwards' home, which had been reduced to a
brick wall with only a chimney standing, he was driven to paint
it.
With Edwards' permission, Grammer then used spray paint
to transform Edwards' burnt chimney into a strikingly black-and-
white portrait of a woman, a piece he called Beauty Among the
Ashes. Once the image was posted on Instagram, the victims of
the fire, especially, could not contain themselves. “You bring
beauty and hope,” one posted. Over three months, the 47-year-
1

old created a series of more than a dozen spray-painted murals
on the remains of buildings and vehicles rendered useless by
the flames. The images included a victim of the fire, a young
girl who survived but lost her house, and a series of religious
characters.
As a street artist, Grammer has committed his life to
creating more art installations (艺术装置) all over the world that
connect people through tragic life events. He has started a
foundation called the Art Through Hope Foundation where he

tragedy. “I want to do something powerful and make art that
emotionally influences people,” said Grammer in an interview

ultimate goal. And to me, that is the biggest miracle I feel like.”
