Ⅰ 阅读
By the time Alex Sanburn was 13, he was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts center. Yet he wanted more specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That's when he hit a barrier, discovering in the very last line of a multi page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.
That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it'd be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists，” says Alex, now 15.
With the support of his parents, Alex rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their works.
Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex's own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was held last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize.
Given how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he's still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.
Leo Smith, a 17 year old artist from Toronto says it's about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don't get as much credit as I think we're due, and we also don't get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了13岁的小艺术家Alex (艾利克斯)申请加入一个评审展览时因年龄小被拒绝，于是他创办了一个专门为未成年艺术家提供展览机会的画廊——Little EGG。
1．What happened when Alex was 13
A．He was rejected by a juried exhibition.
B．He missed the deadline for submission.
C．He had his first show at a local art club.
D．He became a working artist successfully.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Yet he wanted more ... submission was 18.”可知，在Alex想在一个评审展览中展示他的作品时，他发现提交申请的最低年龄是18岁。由此可知，在13岁时他遭到了一次评审展览的拒绝。故选A。
2．Which of the following words can best describe Alex
A．Ambitious and creative.
B．Loyal and determined.
C．Modest and sympathetic.
D．Honest and hard working.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“That rejection became ... now 15.”可知，13岁的Alex被拒绝后，他认为能给更多的年轻艺术家提供机会是件很酷的事情；结合第三段中的“With the support ... underage artists.”可知，他成立了一个专门为未成年艺术家开设的商业工作室。由此可推知，Alex是一个有抱负并且富有创新精神的人。故选A。
3．What can we learn from the story
A．Art connects people worldwide.
B．One good turn deserves another.
C．Failures can drive positive change.
D．Chance favours the prepared mind.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，Alex在失败后成立了专门为未成年艺术家开设的商业工作室，由此可推知，我们从该故事中可以学到的是失败可以带来积极的改变。故选C。

1．答案：However

Ⅳ 读后续写
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。
At the age of six, I fell in love with art. In grade school, art on Fridays was what I looked forward to each week. I remembered making Christmas ornaments (装饰品) out of cardboard paper rolls for the Christmas tree.
All through school art was my main interest because there were no mistakes to be made. Art provided self－esteem, love and a natural high like runners get. I loved staying up late drawing and listening to Johnny Cash. When I was doing Indian ink drawings, time stood still and I could see the ink filling the minute crevices (裂隙) in the paper.
There was a love affair with certain brushes and pencils. In the late fifties my parents moved the family from a small town in Minn to the big city of Seattle. No woods to explore so I would get up early in the morning and take my red wagon around to collect things that people placed on the roadside for the garbage man to pick up. I found great treasures.
At the age of twenty－two, I was working as a mechanic and fell in love with worn gears (齿轮) and sprockets (链轮). My foreman showed me how to run a bead of weld (焊接) and I practiced welding by creating art out of the scrap iron that we set out for the scrap man. I had always had a dream of one day having a sculpture park for people to come and see my creations. But there were a lot of rejections along the way from museums to art galleries and at the time they were negatives which fueled a fire inside me to create my own museum and gallery. I now realize those negatives had to happen in order for me to create a four－acre sculpture park at the base of Mount Rainer ten miles before the west entrance to the national park.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The name of my park is Recycled Spirits of Iron and you can take a tour by searching for the video on YouTube. Perhaps that's what sharing really means.
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者自幼喜欢画画，后来发展为用废弃的钢铁制作艺术品，并创立了一个雕刻公园。在他的心中，艺术创作的源泉是什么呢？分享意味着什么呢？
[精彩范文]
The name of my park is Recycled Spirits of Iron and you can take a tour by searching for the video on YouTube. Now thousands of people have visited my sculpture park on the Internet and even hundreds of people have come to my park to see the beautiful creations in the flesh. When they see the piece of art, they will usually be amazed how I created them so vividly and they will ask me what I was thinking of when I created them. I only tell them these are the reflection of my dreams from my childhood.
Perhaps that's what sharing really means. I like these visitors from all over the world who get a good view of American art. I love sharing my creativity and showing what people can do with some imagination. Just remember art fills the soul with love and money just fills your pocket. When I create them, I feel happy and my soul is filled with love. That art is my dream and I am sticking to it.

Ⅰ 阅读
By the time Alex Sanburn was 13, he was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local arts center. Yet he wanted more specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That's when he hit a barrier, discovering in the very last line of a multi page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.
题号 Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ
难度 ★ ★★ ★ ★★★
That rejection became a driver for creation. “There was a gap in the art world, and I thought it'd be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists，” says Alex, now 15.
With the support of his parents, Alex rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, a commercial studio only for underage artists. The gallery charges a small hanging fee for any displayed work and takes a 15 percent commission fee on sales. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their works.
Not long after the opening, Henry Cameron, a professor and artist, happened upon the gallery while walking in his neighbourhood. An exhibition was being installed at the time, and some of Alex's own work was on the walls. A connection was formed, and Alex asked Henry to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was held last spring, and the top three winners each received a $50 cash prize.
Given how busy Alex is with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he's still devoted to growing the gallery with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了13岁的小艺术家Alex (艾利克斯)申请加入一个评审展览时因年龄小被拒绝，于是他创办了一个专门为未成年艺术家提供展览机会的画廊——Little EGG。
Leo Smith, a 17 year old artist from Toronto says it's about time that a venue like Little EGG existed. “As young artists, we don't get as much credit as I think we're due, and we also don't get many opportunities to showcase the amount of work we put into the art.”
1．What happened when Alex was 13
A．He was rejected by a juried exhibition.
B．He missed the deadline for submission.
C．He had his first show at a local art club.
D．He became a working artist successfully.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Yet he wanted more ... submission was 18.”可知，在Alex想在一个评审展览中展示他的作品时，他发现提交申请的最低年龄是18岁。由此可知，在13岁时他遭到了一次评审展览的拒绝。故选A。
2．Which of the following words can best describe Alex
A．Ambitious and creative.
B．Loyal and determined.
C．Modest and sympathetic.
D．Honest and hard working.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“That rejection became ... now 15.”可知，13岁的Alex被拒绝后，他认为能给更多的年轻艺术家提供机会是件很酷的事情；结合第三段中的“With the support ... underage artists.”可知，他成立了一个专门为未成年艺术家开设的商业工作室。由此可推知，Alex是一个有抱负并且富有创新精神的人。故选A。
3．What can we learn from the story
A．Art connects people worldwide.
B．One good turn deserves another.
C．Failures can drive positive change.
D．Chance favours the prepared mind.
解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，Alex在失败后成立了专门为未成年艺术家开设的商业工作室，由此可推知，我们从该故事中可以学到的是失败可以带来积极的改变。故选C。

Ⅳ 读后续写
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。
At the age of six, I fell in love with art. In grade school, art on Fridays was what I looked forward to each week. I remembered making Christmas ornaments (装饰品) out of cardboard paper rolls for the Christmas tree.
All through school art was my main interest because there were no mistakes to be made. Art provided self-esteem, love and a natural high like runners get. I loved staying up late drawing and listening to Johnny Cash. When I was doing Indian ink drawings, time stood still and I could see the ink filling the minute crevices (裂隙) in the paper.
There was a love affair with certain brushes and pencils. In the late fifties my parents moved the family from a small town in Minn to the big city of Seattle. No woods to explore so I would get up early in the morning and take my red wagon around to collect things that people placed on the roadside for the garbage man to pick up. I found great treasures.
At the age of twenty－two, I was working as a mechanic and fell in love with worn gears (齿轮) and sprockets (链轮). My foreman showed me how to run a bead of weld (焊接) and I practiced welding by creating art out of the scrap iron that we set out for the scrap man. I had always had a dream of one day having a sculpture park for
people to come and see my creations. But there were a lot of rejections along the way from museums to art galleries and at the time they were negatives which fueled a fire inside me to create my own museum and gallery. I now realize those negatives had to happen in order for me to create a four-acre sculpture park at the base of Mount Rainer ten miles before the west entrance to the national park.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The name of my park is Recycled Spirits of Iron and you can take a tour by searching for the video on YouTube. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
Perhaps that's what sharing really means. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者自幼喜欢画画，后来发展为用废弃的钢铁制作艺术品，并创立了一个雕刻公园。在他的心中，艺术创作的源泉是什么呢？分享意味着什么呢？
[精彩范文]
The name of my park is Recycled Spirits of Iron and you can take a tour by searching for the video on YouTube. Now thousands of people have visited my sculpture park on the Internet and even hundreds of people have come to my park to see the beautiful creations in the flesh. When they see the piece of art, they will usually be amazed how I created them so vividly and they will ask me what I was thinking of when I created them. I only tell them these are the reflection of my dreams from my childhood.
Perhaps that's what sharing really means. I like these visitors from all over the world who get a good view of American art. I love sharing my creativity and showing what people can do with some imagination. Just remember art fills the soul with love and money just fills your pocket. When I create them, I feel happy and my soul is filled with love. That art is my dream and I am sticking to it.
