Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
Most painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to it, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting，He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.
Some of Picasso's paintings are rich soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly, cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that？” And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.
Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knew as well as what the eyes saw. At the age of 90，he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”．1．In the passage the writer wants to tell us

Since my retirement from teaching music in 2002，I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died，so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case，I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes much influenced by Krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some strange reasons, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon aswalked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favourite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types
of painting. However，watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world，and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart's desire.”
5．What is the text mainly about?
A．Learning to paint in later life.
B．How to paint watercolors.
C．An artist­toured teacher.
D．Life after retirement.

7．We can infer from the text that the author ．
A. had been taught by Krenkel and St. John
B．painted landscapes in Minnesota for five years
C．believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors
D．started his retirement life at the age of seventy
【解析】推理判断题。

从“...found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look ...”作者发现安德鲁·韦斯的画是最接近作者认为最好水彩画的标准，也就是说作者认为安德鲁·韦斯的水彩画最好。

【答案】 C
8．How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?
A．Very enjoyable. B．A bit regretful.
C．Rather busy. D．Fairly dull.
【解析】推理判断题。

C【导学号：06590059】
When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带) around a bomb”. Such comments(评价) seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school­bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera's strong influence on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country. Her first one­woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo's works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
9．What d oes the underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?
A．A far better artist.
B．A far more gifted artist.
C．A much stronger person.
D．A much more famous person.
【解析】推理判断题。

故选D项。

【答案】 C
11．Kahlo's style had become increasingly independent since the ．A．1930s B．1940s
C．1950s D．1970s
【解析】细节理解题。

根据第三段第二句“... show less influence from her husband.”可知，她的早期作品受到其丈夫的很大影响，但20世纪40年代之后，其作品很少受到丈夫的影响，此时有了自己的风格。

【答案】 B
12．What is author's attitude toward Kahlo?
A．Devotion. B．Sympathy.
C．Worry. D．Encouragement.
【解析】观点态度题。

根据本文的中心内容以及作者在第一段的用词Sadly和最后一段的用词Unfortunately可知，对于这位身体残疾的画家，在其去世几十年后，其作品才受到世人的关注，作者感到很遗憾，很同情她。

【答案】 B
D

Traditional Chinese Painting
Everyone agrees that traditional Chinese painting is very beautiful. In my opinion, the reasons why people like it are as follows.
First ，it is the art of painting on a piece of Xuan paper or silk with a Chinese brush, ink or watercolors. The styles of traditional Chinese paintings are close to reality and easy to understand. Besides, there are many outstanding traditional Chinese painters, one of whom is Qi Baishi. His paintings of little shrimps are well received by many people. Another famous Chinese artist, Xu Beihong, is famous for his paintings of horses, which look so alive. What's more, traditional painting is a perfect combination of pictures, poetry, calligraphy and seals.
All in all, traditional Chinese painting not only makes our life beautiful, but also brings artistic enjoyment to us.。
