[题目优选]
假如你是李华。

你很喜欢绘画，并在网上参加了一个国际绘画爱好者论坛。

该论坛的版主John想办一个儿童画美术展，请你根据以下提示给John写一封电子，向他提一些意见和建议。

1．选择儿童喜欢的主题；
2．征集一些儿童自己创作的作品；
3．选一些名人的代表作，配上作品解读；
4．介绍这些著名画家的励志故事。

[经典X文]
Dear John，
I heard that you would like to hold an art exhibition for children. I'm glad to hear this and I want to give you some suggestions that I think may help you a little.
First, you should choose a theme that attracts children's attention, since it is mainly aimed at children. It is also a good choice to collect some paintings that have been drawn by children. If they saw their own works or their peers' works in the art exhibition, they might be more interested in it.
What's more, you can show some paintings by famous artists, and guide children to appreciate the beauty of these paintings. Meanwhile, you can pick out some inspiring stories of these famous artists to encourage children to continue painting.
That's all I want to say. I'm sure your art exhibition will be a great success. Make sure you write and tell me all about it!
Yours，
Li Hua [名师点拨]

篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

生活总会给我们许多惊喜。

你冒着雨去与自己最喜欢的作者见面，却被告知作者生病不能前来，但你却无意中遇到了自己多日不见的朋友，这就是我们生活中的惊喜。

1．like 考查介词。

由设空前的parties和设空后表示举例的名词可知，应填like “例如；像〞。

2．can 考查情态动词。

由设空前的“aren't expecting〞和空后的“as well〞可知，应填表示理论上的可能性的can。

3．seeing 考查非谓语动词。

此处表示收到或在杂货店见到老朋友都会让人感到意外。

空处作介词by的宾语，故应使用see的动名词形式seeing。

4．favorite 考查词性转换。

此处应用形容词修饰名词author，指最喜欢的作家，故用favorite。

5．When/After 考查状语从句的连接词。

此处指当/在你走进书店时/之后，故填When/After 。

6．What 考查感叹句的引导词。

“What＋a/an ＋形容词＋单数名词＋主语＋谓语〞为固定句型，在表意清楚的情况下，主语和谓语常常被省略，故此处用What 。

7．But 考查连词。

根据上下文语境可知，此处表示转折，故用But 。

8．a 考查冠词。

此处指“一个咖啡店〞，表泛指，故用不定冠词a 。

9．sickness 考查词性转换。

由上文中的“the author is sick〞可知此处表示作者生病了，再由空前的“author's〞可知此处应用名词。

10．were 考查虚拟语气。

此处表示要是你喜欢的作者现在没有生病，你可能就没有机会和老朋友喝咖啡了。

表示与现在事实相反的假设，所以应用were 。

Zhang Hua 难项分析：
第一处：ask→asking考查非谓语动词。

分析句子结构可知，此处在句中作定语，又与其逻辑主语letter之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词。

第五处：possibly→possible考查固定短语。

as ... as possible是固定用法，意为“尽可能……〞。

第十处：will→would考查虚拟语气。

wish后接宾语从句，要用虚拟语气，且此处是表示对将来的假设，故用would。

Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks，is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art, taking art out of the museum and into the outside world. Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stones and mud，in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
Reshaping the landscape is a mon characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.
Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay (衰落). That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees
in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time，which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.

Ⅱ.七选五
ing face­to­face with your inadequacies (缺点) can be painful, to say the least. __1__ It even makes you question yourse lf. Your knee­jerk reaction may be to get defensive or even dismiss the critique entirely. But handling negative feedback with grace will not only make you look gracious, but it could ultimately help you grow as a person. Here's how to do it.
1．Be objective about the criticism
Before you jump to conclusions and begin to challenge the other person's opinion, take a step back and look at it objectively.
Next time you get a bad review, don't immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you, but rather, take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate. __2__
2．Avoid unnecessary conflict
If you decide that the point is valid, it may be hard to take. In your disfort, you may feel the urge to criticize the other person angrily and defend yourself. __3__
3．Be open to the idea of change
__4__ And it may be because of a concept called “cognitive dissonance〞 that can prevent us from changing even when that's what we need most.
4．Ask questions
If you're open to using the criticism as a springboard to improvement, you will likely need more information. __5__ Your emotions will be running high, and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information. However, when you feel ready,
it could be worth revisiting the subject with the person who criticized you. Even if you don't agree with their advice, thank them and promise to consider it.
A．Most of us are pretty stubborn.
B．There is no doubt that change is necessary.
C．But it's best to avoid getting into an argument.
D．Being sensitive to criticism leads you nowhere.
E．It challenges the way you believe people see you.

G．The initial moment you hear it may not be the best time to ask for more details.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。

听到别人对你的批评也许会很痛苦，但是如果优雅且恰当地面对和处理别人对你的批评，自己将变得更好。

本文介绍了一些正确的做法。

1．E 根据空后一句话可知，空处与下一句是递进关系，E项“这会挑战你认为别人看待你的方式〞，所以E项符合语境。

2．F 根据空前的“don't immediately allow your emotions to get the better of you，but rather，take a moment to consider whether the criticism is at all accurate〞可知，空处应讲给自己一个机会真正吸收这些信息并对其进行评估。

故F项符合语境。

3．C 根据该段小标题“Avoid unnecessary conflict〞可知，C项“但是最好避免陷入争吵〞符合语境。

4．A 根据空后的“And it may be because of a concept called ‘cognitive dissonance’ that can prevent us from changing even when that's what we need most.〞表述原因可知，设空处应填相应的结果，再结合本段小标题可判断，A项“我们大部分人都很固执〞符合语境。

5．G 根据空后的“Your emotions will be running high, and you may not be particularly receptive to extra information.〞并结合上文可知，空处应讲最开始听到批评时不适合问更多的细节，故G项符合语境。

Ⅲ.语法填空
