Ⅲ．【参考范文】
On the walk to Mareya's house，I said，“I hope Ms Williams will understand why we couldn't do our portrait task．”“What do you mean？”asked Mareya curiously．“We're allowed to paint in any style．Let's just use different paintbrushes．”She bent down，picked up two skinny sticks，and said，“How about these？”“Why not？”I laughed．And I told her that I was pretty sure tempera paints were safe for finger painting．We carefully painted each other's portraits with our colorful fingers．Besides，we both added Ginger to our paintings．
We ended up having a great time making our portraits with our fingers．And even though our masterpieces turned out way different than they would have with the foam brushes，they ended up being our favorite pieces of the whole art term．“We're sorry，”we told Ms Williams，“but a dog really did eat part of our homework．”Ms．Williams smiled happily．“Art is a lot like life．It almost never turns out the way we plan．And sometimes going in an entirely different direction is the very thing that makes it wonderful．”

Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
From woodworker to great artist—this was the course of Qi Baishi's life．He achieved success by coupling talent with hard work．In 1953，he was honoured with the title“People's Artist”by the Chinese government．
For most of the general public，his masterpieces are his paintings of shrimps．At the beginning，he painted these small animals by following ancient models．Later，he developed a personal style by using shades of black ink to show a shrimp's body，giving it an almost real-life feel．Besides，his paintings of flowers and vegetables，indicating rich harvests(丰收)，are famous as well．People love these nature-based paintings because the works remind them of the countryside and of their hometowns．The dove is another common image in Qi's art during his later years，showing his wish for world peace．
Be it landscapes，birds，flowers or figures，Qi's paintings are rich in expression and detail．Using heavy ink，bright colors and energetic strokes(运笔)，he created works in a fresh and lively manner，expressing his love of nature and life．His art reflects an international trend in modern art at the time，yet he expressed it in a typical Chinese way．
Qi was hard-working even in his 70s．He kept looking for higher goals，especially as he got older．While many other Chinese artists retired from public life at an old age，Qi actively took on more social responsibilities．He said，“I love my hometown，my country and all the lives there．In recent years，I have realized that what I run after is world peace．”
In 1956，he was awarded the International Peace Prize by the World Peace Council．
1．Why are Qi Baishi's nature-based paintings popular？
A．They lift people's spirits．
B．They touch people's feelings．
C．They inspire people's passions．
D．They reflect people's wishes．
2．What does paragraph 3 focus on about Qi Baishi？
A．His masterpieces． B．His influence．
C．His painting subjects． D．His painting style．
3．Why was Qi Baishi still hard-working at an old age？
A．To popularize Chinese paintings．
B．To involve the youth in arts．
C．To shoulder more social responsibilities．
D．To earn international reputation．
4．Which of the following words can be used to best describe Qi？
A．Remarkable and admirable． B．Passionate and confident．
C．Intelligent and generous． D．Realistic and professional．
B
Some wonderfully creative uses of X-rays have been in the world of art．But the most impressive one is to uncover what has been covered up．Details unfolded by an X-ray of a painting can't be seen any other way．For example，in the past，paintings were often repaired if small pieces of paint fell off the canvas (帆布)．These repairs cannot be seen just by looking at the painting．It takes an X-ray to discover where the repairs have been made．
An X-ray of a painting is one of the best ways to tell if it was created by a famous painter or if it is a forgery (伪造品)．If there is a question as to whether an old master has painted a certain painting or not，X-rays are made and compared to those of paintings that are known to be original．If the brushstrokes(笔触)，for example，are shown to be totally different from those in other works done by a certain artist，then the painting is proved to be a fake copy．
Since modern paints are usually made from different materials than paints of hundreds of years ago，the image they leave on an X-ray film looks different．This is another way X-rays can be used to spot a forgery．A modern artist will try to make a forgery look hundreds of years old by painting dirty varnish on it or by using artificial means to get the varnish to look cracked．To the naked eye the forgery may look old，but when a careful study of the X-ray image is made，the deception is obvious．
It was common many years ago for an artist to finish a painting，decide it wasn't any good，and paint a completely different picture on top of it．Or artists would paint over others' work—it was their version of recycling．Taking an X-ray is the only way to find out if there is a picture underneath the picture you see with your eyes．Sometimes museums will be more interested in the painting beneath than the one on top，and will restore the older one by having the top layer painstakingly removed．
5．What is the main purpose of the article？
A．To provide information to police who are looking for stolen artworks．
B．To persuade art dealers to check for fake copies before selling artworks．
C．To help artists restore damaged artworks to its original appearance．
D．To explain how modern technology can be applied in unique ways．
6．What are X-rays used to do according to the passage？
A．Make repairs on paintings in the past．
B．Identify the authenticity of an artwork．
C．Change the materials of a forgery．
D．Remove the recyclable paints．
7．What does the underlined word“deception”in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Comparison． B．Drawback．
C．Trickery． D．Judgement．
8．Which is the best title for the passage？
A．X-ray Painting Techniques
B．X-ray Detectives
C．Forgery Studies
D．Creative Uses of Technology

Ⅲ．读后续写(满分25分)
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。
In an art class my friend Mareya and I took，we looked at art made by lots of different artists and then tried creating our own．For our last assignment，our teacher，Ms Williams，asked us to paint a portrait of a friend or family member．We both had the same idea．“You'll each get one of these art kits，”said Ms Williams．“Every kit contains a small canvas，a set of tempera paints，and two foam brushes．You can paint in any style you choose．”Mareya and I put our kits into our art bags．Then we headed over to her house，as we always did after art class．
“I think I'll paint you in Leonardo da Vinci's style，”I said while we walked．“Are you ready to pose like the Mona Lisa？”Mareya crossed her arms and did the funniest impression of the woman in that famous．“Wow！”I giggled．“Your smile looks exactly like hers！”
We were laughing so hard that we didn't even notice our friend Jasmine zipping up on her bike．Jasmine skidded to a stop，“I was so excited to tell you my amazing news that my family just got the cutest puppy named Ginger，and if you want to come over，you can meet her！”
We loved puppies，so we went to Jasmine's house．Ginger was the most adorable puppy imaginable．We threw her a toy and got her to run in circles until she was so tuckered out that she collapsed into a sleepy ball of fluff．“Whenever she's not running around or chewing whatever she can get her paws on，she's sound asleep in dreamland，”said Jasmine．She led the way to the kitchen，“Do you have time for a snack？”“Sure！”we said．
After we munched on some yummy nibbles at the kitchen table，Mareya and I stood up to leave．But when we went to pick up our art bags by the front door，we found a big surprise! Mareya pointed at our torn-kit art kits．“Something tells me Ginger might not been sleeping this whole time．”“Oh，no，our foam brushes are now foam shred，Bad Ginger！”I said．“It's OK，”Mareya said．“She's way too little to know any better．”
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
On the walk to Mareya's house，I said，“I hope Ms Williams will understand why we couldn't do our portrait task．”____________________________________
