Ⅴ.阅读理解
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A
Most painters discover a style of painting that suits them and stick to that, especially if people enjoy 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 and 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 beneath 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 knows as well as what the eye sees. 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．The ugly, cruel and strange paintings by Picasso ______.
A．allow us to ask questions about them
B．force us to question anything we see
C．make us try to notice something latent (潜在的) in the things
D．cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see
答案：C
解析：综合归纳题。

根据第二段，毕加索的画使得我们产生探索的欲望。

2．The sentence “sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means ________.
A．sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others
B．sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces
C．he broke something he was painting and threw them away
D．things in some of his pictures seemed to be in disorder
解析：推理判断题。

这是一道深层理解题。

根据前面一句话“Sometimes he painted the natural look of things.”的提示可以理解得出。

A、B、C三项的描述不符合常理。

3．Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”？
A．Because he looked young when he was old.
B．Because he never gave up looking for something new.
C．Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.
D．Because he never stopped painting even when he was old.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。

根据最后一句“That is why people have called him ‘the youngest painter in the world’．”的暗示可知其前一句话为本题的正确答案。

4．What do you suppose the writer thinks of Picasso's paintings?
A．He doesn't understand some of them.
B．He admires them, including the ugly ones.
C．He thinks some of them are valuable, some are not.
D．He doesn't like some of them, but he admires the painter.
答案：B
解析：综合归纳题。

作者对毕加索画的评价是有些内容丰富、柔和而又漂亮；有些虽然丑陋，但是这些丑陋的画迫使我们去思索一些画外的东西，可见作者是欣赏毕加索的绘画的。

所以B为正确答案。

B
Americans have contributed to many art forms, but jazz, a type of music, is one of the art forms that was started in the United States. Black Americans, who sang and played the songs of their homeland, created jazz. Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa, the work songs, the slaves' songs and the religious music. Improvisation is an important part of jazz. This means that the musicians make the music up as they go along, or create the music on the spot. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played. Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s. They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the south.
Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s, you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz. Jazz musicians from America, Asia, Africa, and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent. In this way jazz continues to grow and change.

A．New Orleans is the place where jazz was first produced
B．the American people are all jazz lovers
C．jazz is merely sung by the black when working
D．jazz may become more popular as time goes on
答案：D
解析：从最后一段最后两句“爵士乐遍布全世界，全世界都在分享爵士乐，且它还在扩大变化着”可推断它将越来越受人喜爱。

6．It took about________years to make jazz popular in the US.
A．200
B．120
C．80
D．40
答案：B
解析：从十九世纪末爵士乐的产生，到二十世纪二十年代在美国广为流行可推断它共用了大约120年。

7．The underlined word“created”in the first paragraph can be replaced by________.
A．loved
B．continued
D．started
答案：C
解析：create“创造”，与make同义。

8．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．American Art Forms
B．The Development of Jazz
C．The Music of Black Americans
D．The Birthplace of Jazz
答案：B
解析：全文主要讲述了从爵士乐的产生到发展，一直到现在非常流行，故B项最佳。

Everyone agrees that traditional Chinese painting is very beautiful.______________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文：
Everyone agrees that traditional Chinese painting is very beautiful. It is completely different from Western painting and highly regarded throughout the world for its theory, expression and techniques. According to the means of expression, Chinese painting can be divided into two categories：the xieyi school and the gongbi school. Xieyi is the basic approach to Chinese painting. Even in ancient times, Chinese artists were unwilling to be controlled by reality. Take Qi Baishi, the modern painter, for example, he does not paint shrimps, insects, birds, and flowers as they are in nature but only shows their general character after he observed them carefully for a long time
