After that, using knives and paper, she completed a painting of a pair of birds.
People usually add colours to create paintings, but knife painters use knives 4 (take) away colours on specially made coated paper. They use different pressure on the paper in 5 (differently) directions to create different colours. Once the marks are left on the paper, they cannot be covered, so it requires the painter to be 6 (complete) lost in the work.
Few people knew the great art form just after Wang created it. Besides, Wang 7 (her) was not expecting to make it something big at the beginning, But thanks to her love for the art form, she 8 (keep) painting for the past 30 years.

Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on the Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard. The erhu sounded so sorrowful that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue on the internet, and I began to understand the melancholy (伤悲) in the music.
The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing's father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by the age of 17, Abing had already been known for his remarkable musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing's life grew worse. He developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.
Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing's Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China's national treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing's own life but also reminds people of their deepest sorrows and painful experiences.
( )1. What's the passage mainly about
A. A folk musician and his famous piece of music.
B. What makes the erhu sound special and beautiful.
C. The history and development of Chinese folk music.
D. Why Abing became popular among music lovers.
( )2. The writer first listened to Abing's music________.
A. on the street
B. on the internet
C. in a concert
D. at a music class
( )3. What influence did Abing's father have on him
A. He encouraged Abing to become a music teacher.
B. He taught Abing how to play different instruments.
C. He helped Abing record his first piece of music.
D. He advised Abing to study music in another city.
( )4. Which of the following difficulties did Abing face in his life
① He became blind.
② He was not able to record most of his music.
③ He was once homeless.
④ He had little money to live on.
A. ①②③
B. ①②④
C. ②③④
D. ①③④
( )5. The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to________.
A. the erhu
B. Erquan Yingyue
C. Abing's own life
D. Abing's music talent
( )6. What does the writer mean by saying the music "paints a picture of Abing's own life"
A. It was later used in paintings about Abing.
B. It helps people imagine what Abing looked like.
C. It describes Abing's everyday life in detail.
D. It shows the sadness and difficulties of his life.

It was a rainy Saturday afternoon. While helping my grandpa clean the attic, I discovered a dusty wooden box. "What's this, Grandpa " I asked.
He smiled and opened it 1 . "These are my sketchbooks from when I was your age," he said.
Inside were 2 filled with wonderful pencil drawings - portraits of people, sketches of birds, and views of our neighbourhood. Each one looked alive, full of feeling and light. I had always thought of Grandpa as just a retired postman, but here was proof he was also an artist!
"I didn't know you could draw!" I said 3 .
"I loved art when I was young," he explained. "But I needed a job to support my family. Still, I never 4 seeing the world like an artist."
He taught me to look closely at things - to 5 how light falls on surfaces and how shadows change throughout the day. "Most people just look," he said, "but artists really see."
That afternoon, Grandpa showed me how to draw a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table. 6 , my lines were messy and the shapes were wrong. But he patiently taught me to measure with my eyes and break objects into basic forms.
"Remember," he said, "every artist was first a beginner. What matters isn't creating a perfect picture, but 7 what you see in your own way."
When my parents came to pick me up that evening, I showed them my drawing. They were 8 what I'd learned in one afternoon.
"That's wonderful!" my mother said. Then she turned to Grandpa. "You should teach an art class at the community centre. Many people would love to learn from you."
Grandpa looked at his old sketchbooks, then at my 9 face. "You know," he said, "that might not be a bad idea. Maybe it's never too late to share your passion with others."
That rainy day became the most wonderful art lesson I had ever had - not because I learned to draw perfectly, but because I discovered that artists can be 10 , and art can be found in the most unexpected places.
1. A. quickly B. suddenly C. carefully D. nervously
2. A. letters B. pages C. photos D. stories
3. A. in surprise B. by mistake C. on purpose D. with doubt

Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成下列任务。)
One day, Ma Zhijie, a minister in the Song dynasty, took out a painting he cherished. It was called Bull Fighting by the artist Dai Song. Ma loved this painting very much and kept it in a special place.
One sunny afternoon, Ma took the painting out to dry it in the air. While he was doing this, a farmer came to pay his taxes. The farmer saw the painting and examined it carefully. Then he started to laugh quietly.
"Do you understand art " Ma asked. "Why are you laughing at my painting "
The farmer replied, "Sir, I'm just a simple farmer. I don't know anything about art. But I do know a lot about bulls because I work with them every day. When bulls fight, they always put their tails down tightly between their legs. You cannot pull their tails out, even if you are very strong. But look at this painting - the two bulls are fighting, but their tails are standing up high in the air. This is not what really happens when bulls fight!"
Ma Zhijie was surprised. He had never thought about the bullfight like that. The farmer's words made him realise that the painting was not completely accurate.
From that day on, Ma Zhijie learned a valuable lesson: 5 .
Task 1 Answer the questions. (回答问题。)
1. Who painted Bull Fighting
2. What does the underlined word "this" refer to
3. Why did the farmer laugh when he saw the painting
4. How are the bulls' tails when they are fighting
5. What best fits the blank
Task 2

【答案】1. What can we do 2. Which one do you prefer 3. I haven't 4. How often does the club 5. shall we
【解析】1. What can we do
句意：是的，我很乐意！我们在那里可以做什么呢？
解析：根据下一句“We can try painting or pottery.”（我们可以尝试绘画或陶艺），可知Tom在询问俱乐部的活动内容，因此用“What can we do”来提问，符合语境。
2. Which one do you prefer
句意：我们可以尝试绘画或陶艺。你更喜欢哪一个？
解析：下一句Tom回答“I prefer pottery to painting.”（比起绘画我更喜欢陶艺），说明Lucy在询问两者之间的偏好，用“Which one do you prefer”（你更喜欢哪一个）来引导选择疑问句，逻辑通顺。
3. I haven't
句意：不，我没有。但我想学习。

4. How often does the club
句意：也许我可以两种都试试。俱乐部多久聚会一次？

5. shall we
句意：我们放学后见面一起去那里，好吗？

Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music. The piece which was played on the erhu especially moved me. The music was strangely beautiful, but under the beauty I sensed strong sadness and pain. The piece had a simple name, Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on the Second Spring), but it was one of the most moving pieces of music that I've ever heard. The erhu sounded so sorrowful that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue on the internet, and I began to understand the melancholy (伤悲) in the music.
The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young. Abing's father taught him to play many musical instruments, such as the drums, dizi and erhu, and by the age of 17, Abing had already been known for his remarkable musical ability. However, after his father died, Abing's life grew worse. He developed a serious illness and became blind. For several years, he had no home. He lived on the streets and played music to make money. Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets. He performed in this way for many years.
Abing's amazing musical skills made him very popular during his lifetime. By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music. Many of these were written by Abing himself. It is a pity that only six pieces of music in total were recorded for the future world to hear, but his popularity continues to this day. Today, Abing's Erquan Yingyue is a piece which all the great erhu masters play and praise. It has become one of China's national treasures. Its sad beauty not only paints a picture of Abing's own life but also reminds people of their deepest sorrows and painful experiences.
( )1. What's the passage mainly about
A. A folk musician and his famous piece of music.
B. What makes the erhu sound special and beautiful.
C. The history and development of Chinese folk music.
D. Why Abing became popular among music lovers.
( )2. The writer first listened to Abing's music________.

A. He encouraged Abing to become a music teacher.
B. He taught Abing how to play different instruments.
C. He helped Abing record his first piece of music.
D. He advised Abing to study music in another city.
( )4. Which of the following difficulties did Abing face in his life
① He became blind.
② He was not able to record most of his music.
③ He was once homeless.
④ He had little money to live on.
A. ①②③
B. ①②④
C. ②③④
D. ①③④
( )5. The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to________.
A. the erhu
B. Erquan Yingyue
C. Abing's own life
D. Abing's music talent
( )6. What does the writer mean by saying the music "paints a picture of Abing's own life"
A. It was later used in paintings about Abing.
B. It helps people imagine what Abing looked like.
C. It describes Abing's everyday life in detail.
D. It shows the sadness and difficulties of his life.

2.句意：作者第一次听阿炳的音乐是在一场音乐会上。
解析：文章第一句明确提到“Last night one of my Chinese friends took me to a concert of Chinese folk music.”，这是作者首次接触到阿炳音乐的场景。
3.句意：阿炳的父亲教他如何演奏不同的乐器。

解析：
①：文中提到“He developed a serious illness and became blind.”，正确。

④：文中提到“He lived on the streets and played music to make money.”，说明他生活拮据，正确。
5.句意：最后一段中划线的单词“It”指的是《二泉映月》。

6.句意：作者说音乐“描绘了阿炳自己的生活画卷”，意思是它展现了他生活中的悲伤和困难。

He smiled and opened it 1 . "These are my sketchbooks from when I was your age," he said.
Inside were 2 filled with wonderful pencil drawings - portraits of people, sketches of birds, and views of our neighbourhood. Each one looked alive, full of feeling and light. I had always thought of Grandpa as just a retired postman, but here was proof he was also an artist!
"I didn't know you could draw!" I said 3 .
"I loved art when I was young," he explained. "But I needed a job to support my family. Still, I never 4 seeing the world like an artist."

That afternoon, Grandpa showed me how to draw a bowl of fruit on the kitchen table. 6 , my lines were messy and the shapes were wrong. But he patiently taught me to measure with my eyes and break objects into basic forms.

When my parents came to pick me up that evening, I showed them my drawing. They were 8 what I'd learned in one afternoon.
"That's wonderful!" my mother said. Then she turned to Grandpa. "You should teach an art class at the community centre. Many people would love to learn from you."
Grandpa looked at his old sketchbooks, then at my 9 face. "You know," he said, "that might not be a bad idea. Maybe it's never too late to share your passion with others."

Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成下列任务。)
One day, Ma Zhijie, a minister in the Song dynasty, took out a painting he cherished. It was called Bull Fighting by the artist Dai Song. Ma loved this painting very much and kept it in a special place.
One sunny afternoon, Ma took the painting out to dry it in the air. While he was doing this, a farmer came to pay his taxes. The farmer saw the painting and examined it carefully. Then he started to laugh quietly.
"Do you understand art " Ma asked. "Why are you laughing at my painting "
The farmer replied, "Sir, I'm just a simple farmer. I don't know anything about art. But I do know a lot about bulls because I work with them every day. When bulls fight, they always put their tails down tightly between their legs. You cannot pull their tails out, even if you are very strong. But look at this painting - the two bulls are fighting, but their tails are standing up high in the air. This is not what really happens when bulls fight!"
Ma Zhijie was surprised. He had never thought about the bullfight like that. The farmer's words made him realise that the painting was not completely accurate.
From that day on, Ma Zhijie learned a valuable lesson: 5 .

Dear teacher and classmates,
I would like to share a painting that helped me grow. It's The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. When I first saw it, I was amazed by the colours and the swirls in the sky. The painting made me realise that even when things are tough, we can still find beauty in life. It taught me to look at life in different ways and appreciate the small things.我想和大家分享一幅助力我成长的画作 —— 文森特 梵高的《星月夜》。第一次见到这幅画时，我就被画面中绚烂的色彩和翻卷的星空深深震撼。这幅画让我明白，即便生活遭遇困境，我们依然能发现生活中的美好。它教会我用不同的视角看待生活，懂得珍惜身边的点滴美好。
Since then, I've tried to be more positive, just like the bright stars in the painting. Art can help us see the world from new angles and grow as people.从那以后，我努力让自己变得更积极乐观，就像画中那些璀璨的星辰一样。艺术能帮我们以全新的视角看世界，让我们成为更好的自己。
