A
In June 1946，an airplane traveled from Rome to Paris.There was nothing unusual about this flight except one thing：for 20 minutes of the plane’s journey，one of its passengers became its pilot.The passenger was Helen Keller，an American author，educator，and activist who since childhood had been both blind and deaf.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了海伦·凯勒的个人经历和影响。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Though many women of her generation would rarely travel via airplane，this was not Keller’s first time in the air.Her first flight as a passenger took place in 1919 on the set of Deliverance，a biographical film(where she actually appeared).Though Keller had been known across America by the time she was 16 and internationally by the time she was 24，some of the public still doubted a blind and deaf person could successfully communicate with hearing people or graduate from college.To battle this doubt，Deliverance’s producers wanted “to show her doing all those things able-bodied people do，” including “scenes where she dresses herself，just to show the public that she can.” And since the airplane，still a new technology at that time，was fashionable，the producers decided they should show Keller flying too.
And that brings us back to 1946：the year Helen Keller piloted a plane herself.
Keller and her companion Thomson，who translated Keller’s speech to others and spoke to Keller by pressing symbols into her hand，were traveling to Europe.When the small plane crossed the Mediterranean，Keller took over the pilot’s controls.
Later she would tell the story to a Scottish reporter “by the same means as she piloted the plane，through hand ‘talk’ between herself and Thomson.” “The plane crew were amazed at her sensitive touch on the controls，” Thomson said.“There was no shaking.She just sat there and flew the plane calmly and steadily.” As pilot，Keller felt “the delicate movement” of the airplane better than ever before.
Before Keller，blindness was a taboo(禁忌) topic for women’s magazines; When she became a public figure，even the Ladies’ Home Journal published her writing.With Keller writing books，lecturing，and flying a plane，public ignorance regarding the deaf-blind could no longer be left unacknowledged.
1.What’s the purpose of the second paragraph
A.To explain the popularity of a new technology.
B.To introduce the background of her flying experience.
C.To give examples of Keller’s ability to do many unexpected things.
D.To argue that Keller was braver than many women of her generation.
写作意图题。根据第二段的“Though many women of her generation would rarely travel via airplane...a biographical film(where she actually appeared).”以及第三段“And that brings us back to 1946：the year Helen Keller piloted a plane herself.”可知，第二段主要介绍了海伦·凯勒在1919年的飞行经历背景，为下文1946年她自己驾驶飞机的故事奠定了基础。故选B。
解析
√
2.Why did Deliverance’s producers shoot Keller flying in 1919
A.To prove Keller could pilot a plane.
B.To record Keller’s usual life in detail.
C.To record Keller was the first disabled person who flew.
D.To prove Keller could do many things able-bodied people could do.
细节理解题。根据第二段的“To battle this doubt...the producers decided they should show Keller flying too.”可知，制片人拍摄凯勒飞行是为了证明她能够做到健全人能做的事情，以此打破公众的疑虑。故选D。
解析
√
3.How did Keller pilot a plane
A.The pilot taught her hand in hand.
B.The co-pilot，Thomson，helped her.
C.She followed the symbols pressed into her hand.
D.She could see like able-bodied people with a new technology.
细节理解题。根据第四段“Keller and her companion Thomson，who translated Keller’s speech to others and spoke to Keller by pressing symbols into her hand...Keller took over the pilot’s controls.”可知，凯勒是通过同伴在她手上按压符号的方式进行交流和指导，从而操作飞机的。故选C。
解析
√
4.What can be inferred from the text
A.Keller was able to behave like an able-bodied person.
B.Keller had an impact on women’s career.
C.Keller was more sensitive than pilots.
D.Public concern about the deaf-blind was aroused because of Keller.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Before Keller，blindness was a taboo(禁忌) topic for women’s magazines...public ignorance regarding the deaf-blind could no longer be left unacknowledged.”可知，在凯勒之前，失明是女性杂志的禁忌话题；当她成为公众人物时，甚至《妇女家庭杂志》也发表了她的文章。随着凯勒写书、演讲和驾驶飞机，公众对聋哑人的无知再也不能被忽视了。由此可推知，凯勒的事迹引起公众对聋盲人群的更多关注。故选D。
解析
B(此篇精读)
In the 17th century，the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity(繁荣) known as the Dutch Golden Age.During this period，artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance(文艺复兴) painting techniques，contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”，this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰艺术黄金时代的巨作——约翰内斯·维米尔的《戴珍珠耳环的少女》，并介绍了这幅画的艺术特色以及独特之处。
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft，a city in Holland where the artist was born，lived and died.Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art.However，it did not attain① international fame at its time of completion.That came about at the end of the 20th century，when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington，D.C.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person.Instead，it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing，who is “like a vision coming from the darkness” and “belongs to no specific time or place”，art historian Arthur K.Wheelock explained.
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines.This characteristic approach is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring.First，he would “invent”，or create an initial drawing on the canvas.Then，he made a single-colored underpainting(底层色).Next，he added color.And，finally，in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright，he would apply a thin layer of glaze(釉) to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty，the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa，she is also looking at us，but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting，self-contained②，” Tracy Chevalier，the author of The New York Times’ best-selling historical novel，Girl with a Pearl Earring，points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there—there is nothing between her and us.She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appealing.”
5.What inspired the creation of the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring
A.The appearance of the girl.
B.Vermeer’s international fame.
C.Previous artists’ painting skills.
D.Encouragement from other artists.
细节理解题。根据第一段中“During this period，artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance(文艺复兴) painting techniques，contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.”可知，《戴珍珠耳环的少女》是画家从以前画家的绘画技巧中得到灵感而创作的。故选C。
解析
√
6.What do we know about the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring
A.It is set in the artist’s birthplace.
B.It makes the artist famous overnight.
C.It describes a particular and famous girl.
D.It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Known as the ‘Mona Lisa of the North’，this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.”可知，这幅画被誉为“北方的蒙娜丽莎”，代表了荷兰艺术的精华，成为艺术史上最受欢迎的画作之一，即《戴珍珠耳环的少女》可以和《蒙娜丽莎》相媲美。故选D。
解析
√
7.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A.The subject of the painting.
B.Techniques used in the painting.
C.The historic value of the painting.
D.The mystery behind the painting.
段落大意题。根据第四段“Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines...he would apply a thin layer of glaze(釉) to certain parts of the painting.”可知，本段主要介绍了维米尔在绘制《戴珍珠耳环的少女》的过程中所使用的技巧。故选B。
解析
√
8.How does Tracy comment on the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring

B.By giving a definition.
C.By offering an example.
D.By making a comparison.
√

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
In June 1946，an airplane traveled from Rome to Paris.There was nothing unusual about this flight except one thing：for 20 minutes of the plane’s journey，one of its passengers became its pilot.The passenger was Helen Keller，an American author，educator，and activist who since childhood had been both blind and deaf.
Though many women of her generation would rarely travel via airplane，this was not Keller’s first time in the air.Her first flight as a passenger took place in 1919 on the set of Deliverance，a biographical film(where she actually appeared)．Though Keller had been known across America by the time she was 16 and internationally by the time she was 24，some of the public still doubted a blind and deaf person could successfully communicate with hearing people or graduate from college.To battle this doubt，Deliverance’s producers wanted “to show her doing all those things able-bodied people do，” including “scenes where she dresses herself，just to show the public that she can.” And since the airplane，still a new technology at that time，was fashionable，the producers decided they should show Keller flying too.
And that brings us back to 1946：the year Helen Keller piloted a plane herself.
Keller and her companion Thomson，who translated Keller’s speech to others and spoke to Keller by pressing symbols into her hand，were traveling to Europe.When the small plane crossed the Mediterranean，Keller took over the pilot’s controls.
Later she would tell the story to a Scottish reporter “by the same means as she piloted the plane，through hand ‘talk’ between herself and Thomson.” “The plane crew were amazed at her sensitive touch on the controls，” Thomson said.“There was no shaking.She just sat there and flew the plane calmly and steadily.” As pilot，Keller felt “the delicate movement” of the airplane better than ever before.
Before Keller，blindness was a taboo(禁忌) topic for women’s magazines; When she became a public figure，even the Ladies’ Home Journal published her writing.With Keller writing books，lecturing，and flying a plane，public ignorance regarding the deaf-blind could no longer be left unacknowledged.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了海伦·凯勒的个人经历和影响。
1．What’s the purpose of the second paragraph
A．To explain the popularity of a new technology.
B．To introduce the background of her flying experience.
C．To give examples of Keller’s ability to do many unexpected things.
D．To argue that Keller was braver than many women of her generation.
答案　B
解析　写作意图题。根据第二段的“Though many women of her generation would rarely travel via airplane...a biographical film(where she actually appeared)．”以及第三段“And that brings us back to 1946：the year Helen Keller piloted a plane herself.”可知，第二段主要介绍了海伦·凯勒在1919年的飞行经历背景，为下文1946年她自己驾驶飞机的故事奠定了基础。故选B。
2．Why did Deliverance’s producers shoot Keller flying in 1919
A．To prove Keller could pilot a plane.
B．To record Keller’s usual life in detail.
C．To record Keller was the first disabled person who flew.
D．To prove Keller could do many things able-bodied people could do.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段的“To battle this doubt...the producers decided they should show Keller flying too.”可知，制片人拍摄凯勒飞行是为了证明她能够做到健全人能做的事情，以此打破公众的疑虑。故选D。
3．How did Keller pilot a plane
A．The pilot taught her hand in hand.
B．The co-pilot，Thomson，helped her.
C．She followed the symbols pressed into her hand.
D．She could see like able-bodied people with a new technology.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段“Keller and her companion Thomson，who translated Keller’s speech to others and spoke to Keller by pressing symbols into her hand...Keller took over the pilot’s controls.”可知，凯勒是通过同伴在她手上按压符号的方式进行交流和指导，从而操作飞机的。故选C。
4．What can be inferred from the text
A．Keller was able to behave like an able-bodied person.
B．Keller had an impact on women’s career.
C．Keller was more sensitive than pilots.
D．Public concern about the deaf-blind was aroused because of Keller.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Before Keller，blindness was a taboo(禁忌) topic for women’s magazines...public ignorance regarding the deaf-blind could no longer be left unacknowledged.”可知，在凯勒之前，失明是女性杂志的禁忌话题；当她成为公众人物时，甚至《妇女家庭杂志》也发表了她的文章。随着凯勒写书、演讲和驾驶飞机，公众对聋哑人的无知再也不能被忽视了。由此可推知，凯勒的事迹引起公众对聋盲人群的更多关注。故选D。
B(此篇精读)
In the 17th century，the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity(繁荣) known as the Dutch Golden Age.During this period，artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance(文艺复兴) painting techniques，contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”，this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft，a city in Holland where the artist was born，lived and died.Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art.However，it did not attain① international fame at its time of completion.That came about at the end of the 20th century，when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington，D.C.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person.Instead，it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing，who is “like a vision coming from the darkness” and “belongs to no specific time or place”，art historian Arthur K．Wheelock explained.
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines.This characteristic approach is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring.First，he would “invent”，or create an initial drawing on the canvas.Then，he made a single-colored underpainting(底层色)．Next，he added color.And，finally，in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright，he would apply a thin layer of glaze(釉) to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty，the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa，she is also looking at us，but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting，self-contained②，” Tracy Chevalier，the author of The New York Times’ best-selling historical novel，Girl with a Pearl Earring，points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there—there is nothing between her and us.She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appealing.”

[语境猜词]
①attain v．获得；达到
②self-contained(合)＝self＋contained adj.独立的；自给自足的
[句式分析]
Instead，it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing，who is “like a vision coming from the darkness” and “belongs to no specific time or place”，art historian Arthur K．Wheelock explained.
分析：此句为复合句。dressed in...为过去分词短语作后置定语；who引导定语从句，先行词为girl，who在从句中作主语。
翻译：相反，它描绘了一个身着华丽服饰的无名女孩，她“就像一个从黑暗中浮现的幻象”并且“不属于任何特定的时间或地点”，艺术史学家亚瑟·K·惠洛克解释说。
