　　With thousands of years of continuous history,China is one of the most culturally unique nations.Over many centuries,Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.

Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan
Zhang Zeduan depicted (描绘) the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival.However,instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature,he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing,present-day Kaifeng.His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty.
A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng

Opening the pages of Liuba Draws Beijing takes you on a fascinating visual journey through the heart of China’s busy capital city.Within its lively watercolours,traditional hutongs,the Summer Palace,and the contemporary charm of Beijing’s Sanlitun and 798 Art District all come alive through the artistic lens of Liuba Vladimirova,more famously known as Liuba Draws.
Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years,when she embarked on an academic exchange programme connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang,Liaoning Province of China.It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing.Since then,her affection for the city has been undeniable.
Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear(直线的).Since childhood,she has developed a love for drawing and painting.However,she pursued a different academic and professional route,studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China,none of which was directly connected to the world of art.Yet,Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.
In 2015,Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centred around Beijing,properly named “The Beijing Calendar”.What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutongs. These narrow alleyways,rich in history and culture,serve as a wellspring(源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.
Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing.This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart,ready to embrace a new culture.
(　　)24.What does the underlined phrase “embarked on” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Improved. B.Began.
C.Resisted. D.Assessed.
(　　)25.What do we know about Vladimirova from Paragraph 3
A.She gave up her dream.
B.She won many art prizes several years ago.
C.She was hard-working over her childhood.
D.She delayed her artistic career.
(　　)26.Why does the author mention hutongs
A.To praise Beijing’s architecture.
B.To show the inspiration of Vladimirova’s art making.
C.To state the main contents of an art book.
D.To advise tourists to visit Beijing.
(　　)27.Which statement can best summarise Vladimirova’s success
A.Curiosity works wonders.
B.Hard work pays off in time.
C.The world is diverse and lively.
D.Painting has national boundaries.
C
The Chinese painting with a long history has its unique and independent system.Using brushes,ink,and Chinese pigments (颜料),the Chinese painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk.The traditional subjects are figures,landscapes,flowers,birds and so on.
In comparison with the Western painting,the Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics.After a careful study of the object,a painter can discover the rules of its structure and frame,and then produce it in his mind’s eye.Not only is it a simple copy,but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the painter,turning a natural image into an “artistic image”.The image can convey the artist’s feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in appearance,but also in spirit”.Not all objects are to be drawn on the paper,and much space is left for imagination.The use of lines is important in Chinese painting.Clear,swift,sharp and changeable lines are combined with the artful use of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of the tone(色调).Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting.Different ways of creating lines were used when painting landscapes,flowers,birds,clouds,bamboos and so on.
Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy are different branches of art with the same origin.They use the same kinds of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines in calligraphy.Though they are different artistic forms,they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings.They influence each other to create another artistic feature.
(　　)28.What can we know about a traditional Chinese painter’s picture according to the writer
A.It reflects social problems of his or her times.
B.It mainly describes a natural image.
C.It expresses his or her thoughts.
D.It tells a true story.
(　　)29.What did a traditional Chinese painter spend much time doing
A.He or she spent much time travelling.
B.He or she spent much time learning to draw lines.
C.He or she spent much time reading.
D.He or she spent much time studying calligraphy before drawing.
(　　)30.What do traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy have in common
A.Using similar techniques.
B.Starting from the same period.
C.Belonging to the same artistic form.
D.Covering the same themes.
(　　)31.Which of the following words can describe the common subjects of traditional Chinese painting
A.Valuable. B.Independent.
C.Special. D.Natural.
D
Museums have been around for centuries.For a long time,they were used to showcase traditional artworks like paintings,sculptures and drawings.In recent times,however,digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form.This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers,tablets and smartphones.It includes a variety of mediums such as animation,3D modelling,virtual reality and video game design.Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before.
The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time.On one hand,many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks.On the other hand,supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections.In fact,some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world.This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.
In general,while there may still be some debates over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections,it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression.As more people realise the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium,it will likely become even more popular in years to come.
(　　)32.What do we know about the digital art from the first two paragraphs
A.It is warmly welcomed by all museums.
B.Its uniqueness leads to its high market value.
C.Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology.
D.It should be placed in museums according to most people.
(　　)33.Which can replace the underlined word “endorse” in the third paragraph
A.Increase. B.Reject.
C.Create. D.Welcome.
(　　)34.What is the current situation of the digital art
A.It is acquiring increasing recognition.
B.It has been accepted by the mainstream audiences.
C.Most museums have accepted it as their collections.
D.This kind of exhibition can be seen all over the world.
(　　)35.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Latest Digital Art,Hottest Debate
B.Digital Art:the Most Popular Art Form
C.Should Museums Accept Digital Art
D.How Does Digital Art Enter Museums

　　Even if you don’t think of yourself as artsy or creative,diving into arts and crafts could bring joy and happiness into your life.Whether it’s painting,crafting or doing a DIY project,these activities are a great way to increase your happiness.36.　　
Interestingly,the study showed that it doesn’t depend on a person’s age,gender, socioeconomic status or background.Doing arts and crafts actually suits everyone! You would think that a person’s wealth would play a bigger role on his or her happiness.37.　　　 Arts and crafts win the prize,and can have a bigger impact on your mood and life.
Arts and crafts are constructive activities that transform ideas into concrete results.Whether finishing a drawing,making a vase,or baking a decorated cake,the process of bringing something from nothing gives you a sense of satisfaction,a much needed human emotion and feeling. 38.　　
Engaging with art generates a “flow state”,a mental state of complete focus where time seems to fade,and worries or stress disappear.39.　　　 The act of focusing on a creative task provides a break from overthinking,allowing the mind to rest in a state of productive calm.
40.　　　 From making pottery (陶艺) with your own hands,which requires you to get down and dirty,to colouring with markers in a colouring book while listening to relaxing music,go ahead and pick one from so many options.You’ll be happy you did!
A.But this is not the case.
B.It is logical if you think about it.
C.Why are there so many natural artists
D.This state creates a sense of absorption.
E.Who won’t feel proud of their own creation
F.There are lots of types of arts and crafts suiting you.
G.A study published in a journal confirmed it.

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　The blank canvas (画布) stared back at me,its whiteness scarier than any exam I’d ever taken.My fingers trembled as I held the paintbrush.“Remember,class,” Mrs.Larson’s voice echoed in my mind,“your final project should reflect your personal journey this semester.” I swallowed hard.Three months ago,I wouldn’t have dared to set foot in this room.Art had always been Mia’s territory (领地)—my best friend since the third grade who could make magic happen with just a pencil and paper.
It all started on that rainy September afternoon in the library when I was drawing on my maths notebook.Mia had picked it up before I could stop her.“Amazing,Lily!” she said,her green eyes wide with genuine excitement.“The way you play with negative space (留白)...you have to join the art club!”
Now I looked at the pile of failed attempts beside me:A sunset that resembled a traffic light.I wondered if I’d made a terrible mistake.The Spring Art Exhibition was just two days away,and my confidence was fading faster than the cheap watercolours on my practice sheets.A soft knock stopped my thoughts.Mia popped her head in.“Still here ” She slid into the seat next to me,eyeing my latest failure.“You’re overthinking it,” she said gently.“Art isn’t about perfection.It’s about...”
“Expression,I know,” I finished for her,sighing.But how could I express what I didn’t even understand myself The bell rang,signaling the end of after-school hours.Mia hesitated at the door.“Just...try painting how you feel,not what you see.”As her footsteps faded down the hallway,I turned back to the blank canvas.For the first time,I noticed how the afternoon Sun streaming through the windows made the white surface shine like fresh snow.Taking a deep breath,I reached for the black paint.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
　　The clock struck midnight as I finally stepped back from the painting stand.
Paragraph 2:
　　Two days later,I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition. 核心素养提升(UNIT 1)

语篇导读:本文是应用文。文章主要讲述了中国历史上四位著名画家及其代表作品。
答案及剖析:
21.B　细节理解题。根据文中对《洛神赋图》(Nymph of the Luo River)的介绍可知,曹植创作了一首关于传说中神女与凡人爱情的抒情诗,顾恺之被这个故事打动,为这首诗绘制了插图。由此可知,该画作基于一首爱情主题的诗。故选B。
22.C　细节理解题。根据文中对《清明上河图》(Along the River During the Qingming Festival)的描述尤其是文中的“instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature,he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing”可知,张择端没有聚焦于自然的辽阔,而是捕捉了汴京人的日常生活。故选C。

Opening the pages of Liuba Draws Beijing takes you on a fascinating visual journey through the heart of China’s busy capital city.Within its lively watercolours,traditional hutongs,the Summer Palace,and the contemporary charm of Beijing’s Sanlitun and 798 Art District all come alive through the artistic lens of Liuba Vladimirova,more famously known as Liuba Draws.
Vladimirova’s journey from the icy Siberian city of Irkutsk to the vital Beijing started during her college years,when she embarked on an academic exchange programme connecting her Russian university with Liaoning University in Shenyang,Liaoning Province of China.It was during this transformative period that she first set foot in Beijing.Since then,her affection for the city has been undeniable.
Vladimirova’s path as an artist was far from linear(直线的).Since childhood,she has developed a love for drawing and painting.However,she pursued a different academic and professional route,studying Chinese and international trade in college and later working in trade relations between Russia and China,none of which was directly connected to the world of art.Yet,Vladimirova’s inner artist remained alive.
In 2015,Vladimirova began crafting a series of illustrations centred around Beijing,properly named “The Beijing Calendar”.What attracts Vladimirova most is Beijing’s historic hutongs. These narrow alleyways,rich in history and culture,serve as a wellspring(源泉) of inspiration for her artistry.
Vladimirova’s ability to catch these hidden small differences likely comes from her unique perspective as an “outsider”—someone who didn’t grow up in Beijing.This fresh perspective allowed her to arrive in the city with fresh eyes and an eager heart,ready to embrace a new culture.
(　　)24.What does the underlined phrase “embarked on” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Improved. B.Began.
C.Resisted. D.Assessed.
(　　)25.What do we know about Vladimirova from Paragraph 3
A.She gave up her dream.
B.She won many art prizes several years ago.
C.She was hard-working over her childhood.
D.She delayed her artistic career.
(　　)26.Why does the author mention hutongs
A.To praise Beijing’s architecture.
B.To show the inspiration of Vladimirova’s art making.
C.To state the main contents of an art book.
D.To advise tourists to visit Beijing.
(　　)27.Which statement can best summarise Vladimirova’s success
A.Curiosity works wonders.
B.Hard work pays off in time.
C.The world is diverse and lively.
D.Painting has national boundaries.
语篇导读:本文是记叙文。文章介绍了插画师Liuba Vladimirova以及她用水彩为北京手绘的画册——《Liuba画北京》。
答案及剖析:
24.B　猜测短语题。根据第二段中画线短语所在句可知,Vladimirova在上大学时来到北京,通过一个学术交流项目才开始将她所在的俄罗斯大学与中国辽宁省沈阳市的辽宁大学联系起来。故画线短语embarked on意为“开始”,与B项Began意义一致。故选B。
25.D　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,尽管Vladimirova从小就对绘画产生了热爱,但是她在大学学习汉语和国际贸易,并从事中俄贸易关系方面的工作。所以她一开始从事的是与艺术没有联系的工作,后来才从事艺术行业。故推知,正是这种情况使她推迟了她的艺术生涯。故选D。
26.B　推理判断题。根据第四段的最后两句可知,最吸引Vladimirova的是北京历史悠久的胡同。这些历史文化丰富的窄巷是她艺术创作灵感的源泉。故推知,作者提到胡同是为了展示Vladimirova艺术创作的灵感。故选B。
27.A　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段内容可知,Vladimirova展示北京的绘画之所以如此成功,是因为她对这座城市充满好奇,以一个“局外人”的身份带着全新的眼光和热切的心情来到北京,并且以全新的视角去拥抱一种新的文化。故推知,A项能够最好地概括Vladimirova的成功。故选A。
C
The Chinese painting with a long history has its unique and independent system.Using brushes,ink,and Chinese pigments (颜料),the Chinese painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk.The traditional subjects are figures,landscapes,flowers,birds and so on.
In comparison with the Western painting,the Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics.After a careful study of the object,a painter can discover the rules of its structure and frame,and then produce it in his mind’s eye.Not only is it a simple copy,but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the painter,turning a natural image into an “artistic image”.The image can convey the artist’s feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in appearance,but also in spirit”.Not all objects are to be drawn on the paper,and much space is left for imagination.The use of lines is important in Chinese painting.Clear,swift,sharp and changeable lines are combined with the artful use of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of the tone(色调).Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting.Different ways of creating lines were used when painting landscapes,flowers,birds,clouds,bamboos and so on.
Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy are different branches of art with the same origin.They use the same kinds of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines in calligraphy.Though they are different artistic forms,they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings.They influence each other to create another artistic feature.
(　　)28.What can we know about a traditional Chinese painter’s picture according to the writer
A.It reflects social problems of his or her times.
B.It mainly describes a natural image.
C.It expresses his or her thoughts.
D.It tells a true story.
(　　)29.What did a traditional Chinese painter spend much time doing
A.He or she spent much time travelling.
B.He or she spent much time learning to draw lines.
C.He or she spent much time reading.
D.He or she spent much time studying calligraphy before drawing.
(　　)30.What do traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy have in common
A.Using similar techniques.
B.Starting from the same period.
C.Belonging to the same artistic form.
D.Covering the same themes.
(　　)31.Which of the following words can describe the common subjects of traditional Chinese painting
A.Valuable. B.Independent.
C.Special. D.Natural.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国画。中国画有其独特且独立的体系,虽然和书法是不同的艺术分支,但它们有着相同的起源。
答案及剖析:
28.C　细节理解题。根据第二段的第四句可知,作者认为,一名国画画家的画表达了他或她的思想。故选C。
29.B　推理判断题。根据第二段的“The use of lines is important in Chinese painting.”和最后两句可知,在中国画中,线条的使用非常重要,中国古代画家列举了18种在人物画中用画笔画线的方法;在画风景、花鸟、云彩、竹子等时,他们会使用不同的方法来画线条。由此推知,一名国画画家要花很多时间学习画线条。故选B。
30.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的前两句可知,虽然中国传统绘画和书法是不同的艺术分支,但它们有着相同的起源。它们使用同类的工具,绘画中使用的所有线条都是书法中的点和线的变体。由此可推知,书法和绘画使用类似的技巧。故选A。
31.D　推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,中国画的主题大多数是人物、风景和花鸟。由此可推断出,Natural(自然的)可以用来描述中国传统绘画的常见主题。故选D。
D
Museums have been around for centuries.For a long time,they were used to showcase traditional artworks like paintings,sculptures and drawings.In recent times,however,digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form.This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.
Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers,tablets and smartphones.It includes a variety of mediums such as animation,3D modelling,virtual reality and video game design.Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before.
The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time.On one hand,many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks.On the other hand,supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.
The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections.In fact,some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world.This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.
In general,while there may still be some debates over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections,it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression.As more people realise the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium,it will likely become even more popular in years to come.
(　　)32.What do we know about the digital art from the first two paragraphs
A.It is warmly welcomed by all museums.
B.Its uniqueness leads to its high market value.
C.Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology.
D.It should be placed in museums according to most people.
(　　)33.Which can replace the underlined word “endorse” in the third paragraph
A.Increase. B.Reject.
C.Create. D.Welcome.
(　　)34.What is the current situation of the digital art
A.It is acquiring increasing recognition.
B.It has been accepted by the mainstream audiences.
C.Most museums have accepted it as their collections.
D.This kind of exhibition can be seen all over the world.
(　　)35.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Latest Digital Art,Hottest Debate
B.Digital Art:the Most Popular Art Form
C.Should Museums Accept Digital Art
D.How Does Digital Art Enter Museums
语篇导读:本文是议论文。文章就“博物馆是否应接受数字艺术”作为主题展开议论。
答案及剖析:
32.C　细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知,数字艺术的创造离不开数字技术。故选C。
33.D　猜测词义题。根据第三段的第二句可知,一方面人们不认可数字艺术是真正的艺术;由“On the other hand,supporters of digital art hold the view”可知,画线词表示的是支持者的观点,再结合下文give it the same respect as any other type of artworks可知,支持者认为应该欢迎这种艺术形式,故画线词与welcome意思相近。故选D。
34.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,数字艺术正在获得越来越多的认可。故选A。
35.C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文就“博物馆是否应接受数字艺术”作为主题展开议论。C项能够概括文章内容,适合作为文章的标题。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Even if you don’t think of yourself as artsy or creative,diving into arts and crafts could bring joy and happiness into your life.Whether it’s painting,crafting or doing a DIY project,these activities are a great way to increase your happiness.36.　　
Interestingly,the study showed that it doesn’t depend on a person’s age,gender, socioeconomic status or background.Doing arts and crafts actually suits everyone! You would think that a person’s wealth would play a bigger role on his or her happiness.37.　　　 Arts and crafts win the prize,and can have a bigger impact on your mood and life.
Arts and crafts are constructive activities that transform ideas into concrete results.Whether finishing a drawing,making a vase,or baking a decorated cake,the process of bringing something from nothing gives you a sense of satisfaction,a much needed human emotion and feeling. 38.　　
Engaging with art generates a “flow state”,a mental state of complete focus where time seems to fade,and worries or stress disappear.39.　　　 The act of focusing on a creative task provides a break from overthinking,allowing the mind to rest in a state of productive calm.
40.　　　 From making pottery (陶艺) with your own hands,which requires you to get down and dirty,to colouring with markers in a colouring book while listening to relaxing music,go ahead and pick one from so many options.You’ll be happy you did!
A.But this is not the case.
B.It is logical if you think about it.
C.Why are there so many natural artists
D.This state creates a sense of absorption.
E.Who won’t feel proud of their own creation
F.There are lots of types of arts and crafts suiting you.
G.A study published in a journal confirmed it.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要论述了从事手工艺活动能给人带来快乐和幸福感,并阐述了其背后的原因。
答案及剖析:
36.G　前文提出“参与手工艺活动能提升幸福感”的观点,设空处需衔接“观点”与后文的“研究佐证”。G项用A study引出后文对研究结果的具体说明(如不依赖年龄、性别等),起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选G。
37.A　前文假设“财富会对幸福感产生更大影响”,后文转折指出“手工艺术影响更大”,设空处需体现“假设与事实不符”的转折关系。A项用But明确否定前文假设,衔接后文“手工艺术更重要”的结论,符合语境。故选A。
38.E　前文强调“手工艺术将想法转化为实物,能带来满足感”,设空处需进一步强化“创造带来的积极情绪”。E项以反问形式呼应前文的“满足感”,突出创造带来的自豪感,与“人类必需的情感”形成呼应,增强说服力。故选E。
39.D　前文介绍“心流状态(flow state)”的定义——专注、忘却时间、无压力,设空处需补充“心流状态的特点或影响”。D 项用this state指代前文的flow state,解释“心流状态”的核心特征(专注),并为后文“专注于创意任务能缓解过度思考”铺垫,符合语境。故选D。
40.F　后文列举“手工陶艺、涂色书”等具体手工类型,强调从多种选择中挑选一种,设空处需总领“手工艺术类型多样”的内容。F项直接点明“类型多”的特点,衔接后文的具体例子,起到总起作用,符合语境。故选F。

语篇导读:本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者多年练习画画,虽有进步,但在很长一段时间里毫无突破。后来在素描本上涂鸦让作者领悟到了练习的真正含义,作者进而逐渐享受到练习画画带来的乐趣。
答案及剖析:
41.D　根据下文中的“But you don’t want all the joy to be taken away.”并结合常识可知,练习需要不断重复,而重复行为会让人感到乏味,由此可知,这里说重复(repetition)是练习的关键。故选D。
42.A　根据空后的with boxes,parallel(平行的) lines and figures可知,作者画了许多方框、平行线和轮廓,这应该是在许多纸张上画的。故选A。

46.B　根据空前的Rather than trying to practise可知,作者没有选择常规练习,而是进行了(engaged in)涂鸦这种练习形式。故选B。
47.C　根据空后的and moments可知,这里指在素描本中画一些场景(scenes)和时刻。故选C。
48.D　根据上文中的“I started carrying sketchbooks everywhere.”可知,作者随身携带素描本,在本子上作画已经成为作者生活中必不可少的(essential)部分。故选D。
49.D　根据空后的“why I had become so fascinated by my new practice”可知,作者想要弄清楚(figure out)自己对素描着迷的原因。故选D。
50.C　根据上文提到的“drawing”“sketch-booking”以及“I spoke to ...by my new practice.”可知,作者是向一位素描博主寻找关于画画问题的答案,这位博主讲述的应与画画(drawing)有关。故选C。
51.B　根据下文中的filled a sketchbook可知,这里为原词复现,指画满了两本素描本。故选B。
52.A　根据空前的“he filled a sketchbook with drawings of his tea cup”可知,Gregory在一本素描本上画满了茶杯,由此可知,他认可重复练习的价值(value)。故选A。

54.D　根据下文中的drawing a bunch of hands可知,这里为hands的原词复现。故选D。
55.C　根据上文中的“But you don’t want all the joy to be taken away.”和本句中的“drawing a bunch of hands...the joy of practice”可知,作者曾经觉得练习会夺走自己的快乐,但现在作者认为重复练习是乐趣,由此可知,作者不再害怕(fear)练习。故选C。

语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章介绍了著名画家张择端的《清明上河图》。
答案及剖析:
56.a　考查冠词。此处泛指“一个杰作”,应用不定冠词来修饰,且masterwork以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
57.Painted　考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语offers,前后无连词,所以设空处应用非谓语动词作状语,主语it代指Along the River During the Qingming Festival,与空处动词paint之间为被动关系,应用过去分词作状语,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Painted。
58.is　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。It是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的主语从句,空处在从句中作谓语,主语是the city,结合主句时态用一般现在时。故填is。

60.consists　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。设空处是句子的谓语动词,描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,主语The scroll是单数形式,所以空处动词应用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。故填consists。
61.featuring　考查非谓语动词。设空处作状语,应用非谓语动词,主语The first section与空处动词feature之间为主动关系,应用动词-ing形式作状语。故填featuring。
62.with　考查介词。此处是固定搭配alive with,意为“充满”。故填with。
63.itself　考查代词。设空处作city的同位语,应用其反身代词itself。故填itself。
bination　考查名词。设空处作主语,应用名词combination,构成the combination of,是固定搭配,意为“……的结合”。故填combination。

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
　　The blank canvas (画布) stared back at me,its whiteness scarier than any exam I’d ever taken.My fingers trembled as I held the paintbrush.“Remember,class,” Mrs.Larson’s voice echoed in my mind,“your final project should reflect your personal journey this semester.” I swallowed hard.Three months ago,I wouldn’t have dared to set foot in this room.Art had always been Mia’s territory (领地)—my best friend since the third grade who could make magic happen with just a pencil and paper.
It all started on that rainy September afternoon in the library when I was drawing on my maths notebook.Mia had picked it up before I could stop her.“Amazing,Lily!” she said,her green eyes wide with genuine excitement.“The way you play with negative space (留白)...you have to join the art club!”
Now I looked at the pile of failed attempts beside me:A sunset that resembled a traffic light.I wondered if I’d made a terrible mistake.The Spring Art Exhibition was just two days away,and my confidence was fading faster than the cheap watercolours on my practice sheets.A soft knock stopped my thoughts.Mia popped her head in.“Still here ” She slid into the seat next to me,eyeing my latest failure.“You’re overthinking it,” she said gently.“Art isn’t about perfection.It’s about...”
“Expression,I know,” I finished for her,sighing.But how could I express what I didn’t even understand myself The bell rang,signaling the end of after-school hours.Mia hesitated at the door.“Just...try painting how you feel,not what you see.”As her footsteps faded down the hallway,I turned back to the blank canvas.For the first time,I noticed how the afternoon Sun streaming through the windows made the white surface shine like fresh snow.Taking a deep breath,I reached for the black paint.

　　One possible version:
The clock struck midnight as I finally stepped back from the painting stand.My legs ached and my fingers were stained with paint,but I couldn’t look away.Before me stood not a perfect painting ,but something far more honest—a cloud of dark blues and grays gradually giving way to warm yellows and oranges .In the centre,a small but determined figure emerged,her outline formed by the negative space Mia always praised me for noticing.My hands,now covered with every colour on the board ,trembled not from nervousness but from the genuine emotion I’d poured onto that canvas .For the first time,I understood what Mrs.Larson meant by “personal journey”.
Two days later,I was surprised to see so many people gathering around my work at the exhibition.A freshman girl pointed excitedly,“It’s like watching sunrise after a storm!” Mrs Larson nodded thoughtfully,murmuring words of praise about “authentic emotional expression” to the principal .Then I noticed Mia in the back,wiping her eyes while giving me two thumbs up.At that moment,surrounded by murmurs of appreciation,I realised art wasn’t about being the best,but about finding the courage to share your unique perspective with the world . And maybe,just maybe,that was a lesson that applied to more than just painting.
