F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time
G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
【答案】B；A；D；G；F
【解析】【分析】本文谈论颜色在家装中的重要作用，掌握在生活空间中如何使用颜色对创造舒适的居住空间有着重要意义。虽然近年来有很多不同的技巧帮助设计师达到设计舒适的居住空间的目的，在颜色的选择上看似复杂，但对于家装中颜色的选择只有三种决定：小的决定、中等的决定和大的决定，并对每一种决定进行阐述。
⑴根据句法结构可知此处是从句，所以在ABC中选择，结合主句句意“在把房间变成你想要的那种感觉的关键是颜色”，参考前一句中的“Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day ”可知选项B中的look for是前文的原词复现。故答案为B（不管你在寻求什么）。
⑵由句子结构可知此处是从句，所以在ABC中选择。主句句意：“它们有时候变得有点复杂”，结合前一句中提到了a number of different techniques“很多不同的技巧”在帮助设计师达到这一目的（让居住空间变得舒适）可知此处是前文的总结，但是与主句构成让步关系。故答案为A（虽然它们都很有用）。
⑶此处是本段的主题句。根据段意“抱枕、镜子、篮子等物品上的小的颜色能增加房间的视觉情趣，而且又没有粉刷墙那样无聊，比买个彩色的沙发又便宜，所以小的颜色的选择会带来很大的益处。”同时根据上文第二段最后一句“the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones”和下文第四段的medium color和第五段的“The large color decision”可以断定答案为D（小的颜色的选择是我们最熟悉的）。
⑷由本段主题句“中等颜色的选择一般是家具的颜色”，后一句“它们需要比小的更大的投入，从而在空间感上有更强大的效果。”所以此处有着承上启下的作用，由“小”过度到下文的“大”，所以答案是G（在这个范围内颜色的选择是在两个主要方面从小向上迈进的一步。）
⑸根据前文的表述“在房间里对颜色的选择比较大的决定涉及到墙、天花板和地板。不管你在看墙纸选择油漆，你所投入的时间、努力以及相关的费用都是有意义的。”故此处与前文构成因果关系，所以选择F（所以选好颜色是值得的，因为你想第一次就把颜色选对。）。
【点评】本题重在考查上下文之间的逻辑关系，答题时首先浏览文章主旨，并理解各个选项所表达的含义。然后再读短文，选出最能使上下文语义通顺的选项，注意段落大意，空格前后的关键词等信息，完成后要通读一篇，看语义是否通顺，是否符合逻辑，必要的话做适当修改。

Why Do We Get Angry
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. ________
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.________ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ________ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
________Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
________However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.
⑷这是段首句，通常为本段的主题句。通过理解段意”某些平常事件会产生愤怒的情绪，有时候无知以及对于事件的负面看法也会导致愤怒的出现，“，所以此处应是”个人对于事件的评估也会导致愤怒情绪的产生“，故答案为A。
⑸根据后一句的However可知本句话与后一句构成转折关系。anger can easily turn violent意思是愤怒能很容易变得暴力，所以D选项中的maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry与之互为转折，故答案为D。
【点评】这是一篇说明文，重在考查上下文之间的逻辑关系，答题时首先浏览文章主旨，并理解各个选项所表达的含义。然后再读短文，选出最能使上下文语义通顺的选项，注意段落大意，空格前后的关键词等信息，完成后要通读一篇，看语义是否通顺，是否符合逻辑，必要的话做适当修改。
5.（2018 天津）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Some people live to climb the highest mountains. Some people live only dreaming about it while others live to avoid ever climbing at all. But one thing is certain, all people encounter mountains in their life.
When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big mountain. One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I almost fell on a set of stairs. What could these steps lead to Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps.
I climbed and climbed. There was nothing but just green bushes and these steps. I had to reach the top! But it was now getting real dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mom would be worried sick if I didn't come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.
Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain. Could there be a castle up there Maybe I would find a monster(怪物). Maybe I was taking the risk of never coming back home. Or, maybe all I would find was absolutely nothing! But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost. I could hardly wait to try this adventure again.
Now we live in a world surrounded by the "can't do" attitudes. We all fall down. We all have doubts and regrets. Still we must climb and dream about what's at the top of our mountain. Monsters may appear or the night will fall. But never ever give up on your dream! Never let anyone tell you, "You can't." Dream big and climb high!

（4）How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph (no more than 5 words)
（5）What's your attitude towards the "mountain" in your life Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）Curiosity made her do so.

Or: We run into trouble sometimes.
Or: We have trouble in life.
（5）I will try to reach my goal because I want to live an exciting life.Or: I will try to reach/get to the top of the "mountain" because I want to be successful in life.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者讲述了小时候爬山的经历，懂得了：我们每个人在人生中都会遇到很多座山，但我们要勇于梦想，攀登高峰。
⑴考查细节归纳。根据第二段中的“What could these steps lead to Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps.”可知，好奇心驱使作者探索这些台阶通往到哪里，从而可以归纳得出答案：Curiosity made her do so.或者 The desire to explore.
⑵考查细节归纳。根据第三段中的“But it was now getting real dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mom would be worried sick if I didn't come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.”可知，作者没有到达山顶而急于回家的原因一共有4个，答案只需要归纳2个原因，因此答案为：Because it was getting dark，and she didn't want her mother to worry about her.或者 Because she was scared，and might not be able to find her/the way back home.
⑶考查细节归纳。根据第四段作者梦见城堡或怪物，可知作者非常具有想象力；以及“But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost. I could hardly wait to try this adventure again.“可知，作者内心的某些东西会不惜一切代价爬上那座山并迫不及待地想再次冒险，可知作者具有冒险精神并且有决心。根据这些归纳出答案：She had rich imagination and she was brave.或者 She was a brave and determined girl with rich imagination.或者She was imaginative and determined，and she dared to explore.或者She was imaginative，adventurous and determined.
⑷考查句义理解。根据全文我们可以推断出We all fall down.指的是“我们生活中遇到的障碍/困难/失败/挑战等”。由此可以归纳出答案：We all sometimes fail.或者 We face failure/defeat/hardships/challenges in life.或者 There are difficulties/barriers/obstacles in life.或者 We run into trouble sometimes.或者 We have trouble in life.
⑸开放性试题。首先要理解题干中的mountain指的是“障碍或失败”，并且要陈述自己的理由，因此答案可以是I will try to reach my goal because I want to live an exciting life.或者 I will try to reach/get to the top of the "mountain" because I want to be successful in life.等等。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节归纳，句义理解和开放试题等三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生准确理解细节信息，结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识，根据上下文进行逻辑推理，做出正确答案。

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 theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. 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, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. "If you build it they will come" is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters 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.
A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community. 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 theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.
No doubt the theater has contributed to the area's development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.
Teco Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg's investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce $298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.
The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire small-business community benefits.
It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.
Arts as an economic driver Our communities（1）________ from arts in terms of economy.
（2）______ of arts' promoting our economy Arts activity demands a(n)（3） ________ effort. It involves creation, performance, and（4） ________.★Artists make a living through their creative work.★Others get paid by marketing the event.
Arts have a gradually spreading（5） ________. They could help promote other industries whether they lie inside or outside arts.★Besides tickets, some jazz lovers will pay their （6）________ to and from the events.★Arts contribute to cultural development when people gather together to share their experience and renew their energy.
Investment in arts could produce potential（7）________ economic results.★TeCo used a $35,000 art investment to attract an overall support of $400,000.★In Dallas, one dollar invested in arts could harvest and extraordinary return of nearly $300.★In Philadelphia the arts have created about 35,000 job opportunities for workers （8）________ arts industry.
Art students making a good living With these（9） ________ in mind, art students need not worry about their career and have a(n) （10）________ plan.
【答案】（1）benefit；（2）Ways；（3）joint/collective；（4）promotion/marketing；（5）effect；（6）fares；（7）positive；（8）outside/beyond；（9）statistics/data/analyses；（10）alternative
【解析】【分析】本文论述如何用艺术促进经济。
（1）根据文章标题及第一段大意可知文章想要强调的是在经济角度艺术带来的好处，结合题目中的介词from可在用短语benefit from，故答案为benefit。
（2）对2-6段的归纳总结，从各个角度论述艺术促进经济的方式。故答案为Ways。
（3）概括总结。根据Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art可知“任何艺术表演都需要艺术家、专家、经纪人、音乐家、作家的共同努力，即joint effort。故答案为joint或collective。
（4）归纳总结。由第三段Another group of folks is needed……可知，除了艺术相关人员外，其它人员也会参与艺术活动，但是处理的是营销和推广方面的事情，原文中的promote和market都可以用于此处，但是需要转化为名词，故答案为promotion/marketing
（5）原词重现。根据第四段A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community可知，ripple effect和题干中的gradually spreading是同一语义，故答案为effect。
（6）同义转换。根据Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.可在他们会开车或乘飞机前来，结合题干中besides ticket可在除了票钱，还需要付交通费，故答案为fares。
（7）对第六段的总结。文章通过列数据的方式反复强调艺术上的投资能带来经济上的好处，这里用形容词修饰economic result，所以用positive会带来积极的经济效益，故答案为positive。
（8）原词。根据第六段80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry，可知用outside或beyond表示与艺术行业无关的人，故答案为outside/beyond
（9）归纳总结。对第六段信息进行总结，同时还需要结合本题本身的信息处理，尤其是these的用法，可知”有了以上这些数据，艺术生不需要对他们的职业担心“，故答案为statistics/data/analyses。
（10）同意转换。 根据If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B可知plan B指的是可替代计划，故答案为alternative。
【点评】本题考查对语篇知识和词汇能力的综合运用能力，难度较大。对常见核心词汇的准确使用由较高的要求。

【解析】【分析】本文谈论颜色在家装中的重要作用，掌握在生活空间中如何使用颜色对创造舒适的居住空间有着重要意义。虽然近年来有很多不同的技巧帮助设计师达到设计舒适的居住空间的目的，在颜色的选择上看似复杂，但对于家装中颜色的选择只有三种决定：小的决定、中等的决定和大的决定，并对每一种决定进行阐述。
⑴根据句法结构可知此处是从句，所以在ABC中选择，结合主句句意“在把房间变成你想要的那种感觉的关键是颜色”，参考前一句中的“Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day ”可知选项B中的look for是前文的原词复现。故答案为B（不管你在寻求什么）。
⑵由句子结构可知此处是从句，所以在ABC中选择。主句句意：“它们有时候变得有点复杂”，结合前一句中提到了a number of different techniques“很多不同的技巧”在帮助设计师达到这一目的（让居住空间变得舒适）可知此处是前文的总结，但是与主句构成让步关系。故答案为A（虽然它们都很有用）。
⑶此处是本段的主题句。根据段意“抱枕、镜子、篮子等物品上的小的颜色能增加房间的视觉情趣，而且又没有粉刷墙那样无聊，比买个彩色的沙发又便宜，所以小的颜色的选择会带来很大的益处。”同时根据上文第二段最后一句“the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones”和下文第四段的medium color和第五段的“The large color decision”可以断定答案为D（小的颜色的选择是我们最熟悉的）。
⑷由本段主题句“中等颜色的选择一般是家具的颜色”，后一句“它们需要比小的更大的投入，从而在空间感上有更强大的效果。”所以此处有着承上启下的作用，由“小”过度到下文的“大”，所以答案是G（在这个范围内颜色的选择是在两个主要方面从小向上迈进的一步。）
⑸根据前文的表述“在房间里对颜色的选择比较大的决定涉及到墙、天花板和地板。不管你在看墙纸选择油漆，你所投入的时间、努力以及相关的费用都是有意义的。”故此处与前文构成因果关系，所以选择F（所以选好颜色是值得的，因为你想第一次就把颜色选对。）。

Why Do We Get Angry
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. ________
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.________ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ________ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
________Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
________However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.
⑷这是段首句，通常为本段的主题句。通过理解段意”某些平常事件会产生愤怒的情绪，有时候无知以及对于事件的负面看法也会导致愤怒的出现，“，所以此处应是”个人对于事件的评估也会导致愤怒情绪的产生“，故答案为A。
⑸根据后一句的However可知本句话与后一句构成转折关系。anger can easily turn violent意思是愤怒能很容易变得暴力，所以D选项中的maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry与之互为转折，故答案为D。

5.（2018 天津）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Some people live to climb the highest mountains. Some people live only dreaming about it while others live to avoid ever climbing at all. But one thing is certain, all people encounter mountains in their life.
When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big mountain. One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I almost fell on a set of stairs. What could these steps lead to Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps.
I climbed and climbed. There was nothing but just green bushes and these steps. I had to reach the top! But it was now getting real dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mom would be worried sick if I didn't come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.
Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain. Could there be a castle up there Maybe I would find a monster(怪物). Maybe I was taking the risk of never coming back home. Or, maybe all I would find was absolutely nothing! But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost. I could hardly wait to try this adventure again.
Now we live in a world surrounded by the "can't do" attitudes. We all fall down. We all have doubts and regrets. Still we must climb and dream about what's at the top of our mountain. Monsters may appear or the night will fall. But never ever give up on your dream! Never let anyone tell you, "You can't." Dream big and climb high!

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者讲述了小时候爬山的经历，懂得了：我们每个人在人生中都会遇到很多座山，但我们要勇于梦想，攀登高峰。
⑴考查细节归纳。根据第二段中的“What could these steps lead to Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps.”可知，好奇心驱使作者探索这些台阶通往到哪里，从而可以归纳得出答案：Curiosity made her do so.或者 The desire to explore.
⑵考查细节归纳。根据第三段中的“But it was now getting real dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mom would be worried sick if I didn't come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.”可知，作者没有到达山顶而急于回家的原因一共有4个，答案只需要归纳2个原因，因此答案为：Because it was getting dark，and she didn't want her mother to worry about her.或者 Because she was scared，and might not be able to find her/the way back home.
⑶考查细节归纳。根据第四段作者梦见城堡或怪物，可知作者非常具有想象力；以及“But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost. I could hardly wait to try this adventure again.“可知，作者内心的某些东西会不惜一切代价爬上那座山并迫不及待地想再次冒险，可知作者具有冒险精神并且有决心。根据这些归纳出答案：She had rich imagination and she was brave.或者 She was a brave and determined girl with rich imagination.或者She was imaginative and determined，and she dared to explore.或者She was imaginative，adventurous and determined.
⑷考查句义理解。根据全文我们可以推断出We all fall down.指的是“我们生活中遇到的障碍/困难/失败/挑战等”。由此可以归纳出答案：We all sometimes fail.或者 We face failure/defeat/hardships/challenges in life.或者 There are difficulties/barriers/obstacles in life.或者 We run into trouble sometimes.或者 We have trouble in life.
⑸开放性试题。首先要理解题干中的mountain指的是“障碍或失败”，并且要陈述自己的理由，因此答案可以是I will try to reach my goal because I want to live an exciting life.或者 I will try to reach/get to the top of the "mountain" because I want to be successful in life.等等。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节归纳，句义理解和开放试题等三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生准确理解细节信息，结合相关的语法知识和词汇知识，根据上下文进行逻辑推理，做出正确答案。

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 theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. 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, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. "If you build it they will come" is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters 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.
A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community. 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 theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.
No doubt the theater has contributed to the area's development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.
Teco Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg's investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce $298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.
The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire small-business community benefits.
It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.
Arts as an economic driver Our communities（1）________ from arts in terms of economy.
（2）______ of arts' promoting our economy Arts activity demands a(n)（3） ________ effort. It involves creation, performance, and（4） ________.★Artists make a living through their creative work.★Others get paid by marketing the event.

【答案】（1）benefit；（2）Ways；（3）joint/collective；（4）promotion/marketing；（5）effect；（6）fares；（7）positive；（8）outside/beyond；（9）statistics/data/analyses；（10）alternative
【解析】【分析】本文论述如何用艺术促进经济。
（1）根据文章标题及第一段大意可知文章想要强调的是在经济角度艺术带来的好处，结合题目中的介词from可在用短语benefit from，故答案为benefit。
（2）对2-6段的归纳总结，从各个角度论述艺术促进经济的方式。故答案为Ways。
（3）概括总结。根据Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art可知“任何艺术表演都需要艺术家、专家、经纪人、音乐家、作家的共同努力，即joint effort。故答案为joint或collective。
（4）归纳总结。由第三段Another group of folks is needed……可知，除了艺术相关人员外，其它人员也会参与艺术活动，但是处理的是营销和推广方面的事情，原文中的promote和market都可以用于此处，但是需要转化为名词，故答案为promotion/marketing
（5）原词重现。根据第四段A successful arts neighborhoods creates a ripple effect（连锁反应）throughout a community可知，ripple effect和题干中的gradually spreading是同一语义，故答案为effect。
（6）同义转换。根据Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.可在他们会开车或乘飞机前来，结合题干中besides ticket可在除了票钱，还需要付交通费，故答案为fares。
（7）对第六段的总结。文章通过列数据的方式反复强调艺术上的投资能带来经济上的好处，这里用形容词修饰economic result，所以用positive会带来积极的经济效益，故答案为positive。
（8）原词。根据第六段80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry，可知用outside或beyond表示与艺术行业无关的人，故答案为outside/beyond
（9）归纳总结。对第六段信息进行总结，同时还需要结合本题本身的信息处理，尤其是these的用法，可知”有了以上这些数据，艺术生不需要对他们的职业担心“，故答案为statistics/data/analyses。
（10）同意转换。 根据If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B可知plan B指的是可替代计划，故答案为alternative。
【点评】本题考查对语篇知识和词汇能力的综合运用能力，难度较大。对常见核心词汇的准确使用由较高的要求。
