B．instrumentC．equipment D．a(chǎn)rgument解析：根據(jù)第一段第一句到第四句可知，作者小時候身邊的朋友都不聽古典音樂，當時很少有孩子能學一種“樂器”超過一兩年，但作者學了三年鋼琴。2．A．a(chǎn)dvised B．a(chǎn)llowedC．instructed D．persuaded解析：結合空前的But可推知，但是作者的父親說服(persuade)作者學習彈了三年的鋼琴。3．A．pletely B．generallyC．cruelly D．hopefully解析：根據(jù)下文作者講述的經(jīng)歷，尤其是最后一段可以推知，有一件事“完全”改變了作者。4．A．boring B．secureC．sweet D．brief解析：根據(jù)下文中的therewerequiteacrowdofpeople和當時的氛圍，再結合四個選項的意思可推知，在作者看來，這個聚會是溫馨甜蜜的，故選sweet。5．A．city B．a(chǎn)geC．height D．dream解析：根據(jù)上文中的birthdaypartyofoneofmyclassmates可推知，這個聚會是作者班里同學的生日聚會，所以很多來賓和作者年齡(age)相當。6．A．buying B．earningC．breaking D．cooking解析：根據(jù)第18空前的thentheparentscameoutofthekitchen可推知，同學的父母正在廚房里為大家做飯，故用cook。7．A．a(chǎn)ctually B．foolishlyC．suddenly D．curiously解析：本句前后的內(nèi)容沒有信息作為鋪墊，所以女孩是突然提出讓作者彈鋼琴的，故選suddenly。8．A．eon B．GetoutC．Breakout D．Carryon解析：女孩主動提議讓作者演奏，所以她在鼓勵和敦促作者勇敢地表現(xiàn)自己，故此處用eon。9．A．a(chǎn)dmitted B．observedC．figured D．regretted解析：聯(lián)系第一段第一句和本空后的內(nèi)容可知，在作者看來，大家根本就不會喜歡他會演奏的音樂。figure在此處意為“以為”。10．A．knowledge B．delightC．respect D．interest解析：作者以為大家對他演奏的鋼琴曲根本不會感興趣。showinterestin...“對……感興趣”。11．A．shyly B．stronglyC．luckily D．hardly解析：根據(jù)下文可推知，盡管作者“強烈”反對，朋友們還是把作者推到了鋼琴前面。12．A．forced B．guidedC．invited D．protected解析：根據(jù)上文可知，作者并非自愿，所以他簡直就是被“逼迫”在鋼琴前面坐下來的。13．A．keys B．lettersC．words D．pictures解析：作者坐下來后面對的是鋼琴，擺在他眼前的就是鋼琴的88個黑白相間的琴鍵(key)。14．A．music B．partyC．meal D．mind解析：根據(jù)上一句“Whattoplay？”可推知，此處指作者在腦海中尋找答案，故選mind。15．A．ending B．openingC．reading D．stop解析：心中有了答案之后，作者開始演奏貝多芬的《月光奏鳴曲》，此處指《月光奏鳴曲》的開端(opening)。16．A．quarrel B．relaxationC．silence D．noise解析：根據(jù)大家聽到演奏后的表現(xiàn)可知，大家被琴聲所吸引，安靜了下來，欣賞作者演奏的音樂，故選silence。17．A．moving B．sendingC．looking D．hearing解析：根據(jù)空后的towardme可推知，再次演奏完兩個小節(jié)之后，作者感覺人們向他的方向移動，故用move。18．A．satisfied B．a(chǎn)nnoyedC．disappointed D．surprised解析：聯(lián)系上文描述的當時的情景可知，大家都安靜下來，被作者的演奏所吸引，而正在廚房里忙活的同學的父母肯定很吃驚，所以出來看看情況，故surprised符合語境。19．A．easy B．hardC．certain D．glad解析：作者以往以為人們對古典音樂不感興趣，所以看到鼓掌和歡呼的時候作者感到“難”以置信。20．A．rememberingB．consideringC．practicing D．imaging解析：根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句可知，作者學習了三年鋼琴之后放棄了，所以他現(xiàn)在覺得如果他以前知道會發(fā)生這種事情，他就永遠不會放棄“練習”彈鋼琴。Ⅱ.閱讀理解AInpainting,pointillism(點描畫法)isastylethatusessmalldotstocreateandimage.OneofthemostfamousexamplesisGeorgesSeurat'spainting“ASundayAfternoonontheIslandofLaGrandeJatte－1884”．Theworkdescribesaparkpopulatedbypeoplerelaxingundertreesandtakingpartinotherrelaxingactivities.Inthe1880s,SeuratandPaulSignacdevelopedpointillism.Itwasfirstcalled“divisionism”.Thename“Pointillism”wasdevelopedonlylater,andwasintendedtolaughatthisstyle.Today“pointillism”isanacceptedtermwithnoderisiveconnotations(嘲弄之意)．Somepeoplestillusetheterm“divisionism”torefertopaintingssimilartopointillism,butthistermismoreexactlyusedtohighlightthetechnicalcolortheorythatisemployedinmanysuchpaintings.Inatypicalpointillistpainting，youmightseebrightcolors.Infact，thesebrightcolorsarebinedbytinydotsofyellow,redandblue.Byusingthebinationofdotsofprimarycolors,painterscancreatetheillusion(錯覺)thattheyareusingmanymorecolorsthantheyare.Theviewer'seyesandbraincouldbeamazedbythiskindofillusion.Picturesinmagazinesandnewspapersareprintedinamethodsimilartopointillism.Additionally，electronicscreenslikeTVsuseasimilartechnique.Screensdisplaydotsofred,blueandgreen,andoureyesandbrainsbinethesecollectionsofdotsasdetailedcolorimages.Learningaboutpointillismisinterestingnotonlyfromtheviewofarthistory.Themastersofpointillismcreatedoutstandingmasterpiecesusingthistechnique.Childrencanlearnaboutandpracticepointillisminordertogethands－onexperiencethatcanhelpthemtounderstandcolormixingandtheprinciplesofvisionthatmakeitpossible.Becausesomanyofourmoderntechnologiesrelyonsimilarideastocreatetheimagesweseearoundus.文章大意：本文主要介紹了繪畫藝術中的點描畫法這種藝術風格，它主要是利用圓點做出令人驚奇的繪畫效果。1．WhatcanbeknownaboutGeorgesSeuratandhispainting？__B__A．Hepainteditonaweekendafternoon.B．Hecreateditusingpointillismin1884.C．Hewasimpressedbythepark'sbeauty.D．Whathepaintedmighthappeninthemorning.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知喬治·修拉的代表作品《拉·格蘭德·加特島上的一個星期日的下午》是在1884年完成的。2．Accordingtothesecondparagraph，whichofthefollowingiswrong？__B__A．Pointillismoriginatedinthe1880s.B．Noonecouldbewillingtousetheterm“pointillism”．C．Inthebeginning“pointillism”wasnotgivenagoodmeaning.D．“Pointillism”and“divisionism”refertothesamestyleofpainting.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第四句可知pointillism一詞現(xiàn)在已被接受了。3．Creatingapointillismpainting，thepaintersskillfullyuse__C__.A．theviewer'seyesandbrainB．a(chǎn)mixtureofalotofcolorsC．thebinationofdotsofprimarycolorsD．thecontrastofdifferentcolorsandbrightness解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第三句可知在創(chuàng)作作品時，創(chuàng)作者巧妙地運用了三原色的結合。4．Itcanbeknownfromthepassagethatpointillism__B__.A．isoutoffashionB．contributestoprintingpicturesC．increasespeople'sinterestinartD．improvesourunderstandingofpainting解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句可知，雜志和報紙上印刷的圖片運用了與點描畫法相似的方法。故可推知點描畫法對印刷圖片有貢獻。BWhenFridaKahlo'spaintingswereonshowinLondon,apoetdescribedherpaintingsas“aribbon(絲帶)aroundabomb”．SuchmentsseemtosuggestKahlohadabiginfluenceontheartworldofhertime.Sadly,sheisactuallya_much_bigger_nametodaythanshewasduringhertime.Bornin1907inavillagenearMexicoCity,Kahlosufferedfrompolio(小兒麻痹癥)attheageofseven.Herspine(脊柱)becamebentasshegrewolder.Then,in1925,herbackwasbrokeninseveralplacesinaschool－busaccident.Throughouttherestofherlife,theartisthadmanyoperations,butnothingwasabletocuretheterriblepaininherback.However,theaccidenthadanunexpectedsideeffect.Whilelyinginherbedrecovering,Kahlotaughtherselftopaint.In1929,shegotmarriedtoDiegoRivera,anotherfamousMexicanartist.Rivera'sstronginfluenceonKahlo'sstylecanbeseeninherearlyworks,butherlaterworksfromthe1940s,knowntodayasherbestworks,showlessinfluencefromherhusband.Unfortunately,herworksdidnotattractmuchattentioninthe1930sand1940s,eveninherhomecountry.Herfirstone－womanshowinMexicowasnothelduntil1953.Formorethanadecadeafterherdeathin1954,Kahlo'sworksremainedlargelyunnoticedbytheworld,butinthe1970sherworksbegantogaininternationalfameatlast.5．Whatdoesthephrase“amuchbiggername”inParagraph1mostprobablymean？__D__A．a(chǎn)farbetterartistB．a(chǎn)farmoregiftedartistC．a(chǎn)muchstrongerpersonD．a(chǎn)muchmorefamousperson解析：詞義推測題。由第一段內(nèi)容可知弗里達·卡羅對世界藝術的影響現(xiàn)在比過去大。顯然畫線部分強調(diào)的是她的知名度，因此選D項。6．TheterriblepainKahlosufferedwascausedby__C__.A．polioB．herbentspineC．backinjuriesD．theoperationsshehad解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Then，in1925，herbackwasbroken...butnothingwasabletocuretheterriblepaininherback”可知她極大的痛苦來自背部的傷。7．Kahlo'sstylehadbeeincreasinglyindependentsincethe__B__.A．1930s B．1940sC．1950s D．1970s解析：細節(jié)理解題。由第三段第二句中“herlaterworksfromthe1940s...showlessinfluencefromherhusband”可知20世紀40年代是卡羅創(chuàng)作的分界線，她之后的作品很少受其丈夫的影響，因此選擇B項。8．Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardsKahlo？__B__A．Devotion. B．Sympathy.C．Worry. D．Encouragement.解析：推理判斷題。由末段的“Unfortunately”一詞判斷出作者對她是同情的態(tài)度。Ⅲ.語法填空閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當內(nèi)容(1個單詞)或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。Qigong,__1.called__(call)“LifeEnergyCultivation”inChina,isapracticeoffocusingonthebreath,movement,andawarenessofexercise,andhealing(愈合)．IfyouhavetakenChineselessons,youmustbefamiliarwithConfucius,accordingto__2.whom__qigongprovidesameansofbeingajunzi(gentleman)throughtheawarenessofmorality.Taoismconsidersqigongtobeabletoprovideawaytoachievespiritualimprovement.Qigongis__3.traditionally__(traditional)viewedasapracticetobalanceqi(innerlifeenergy),whichisnowpracticedthroughoutChinaandworldwide.__4.As__aformofgentleexercise,qigongismadeupofmovementsthataretypicallyrepeated,strengtheningthebody.Qigong__5.is_believed__(believe)tohelpdevelophumanpotential,allowaccesstohigherdegreesofawareness,andawaken__6.one's__(one)“truenature”．Whatmakesqigongspecialisthatitcanbedone__7.lying__(lie),sitting,orstanding;thusitis__8.accessible__(access)todisabledpersons,seniors,andpeoplerecoveringfrominjuries.Asahealingart,qigongpractitionersfocusonpreventionandself－h(huán)ealing,whichh
