Unit 1 Art(建议用时：30分钟) 阅读理解A(2019郑州第一次质量预测)We may be only three weeks into December, but artist Jonnie Hartman has been in the holiday spirit for months, designing and building the Grand America Holiday Window Stroll.The goal with each window stroll is to create playful and uplifting displays(展示), according to Hartman. “I really try to do something lighthearted, something whimsical, that is, something everyone can imagine and maybe not see every day in the real world，” Hartman said.She designs all of the window displays by hand, starting with pencil sketches, then illustrating the designs on her computer and sending parts of the drawings to be printed. From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing(润色) many elements by hand.However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.“When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, I dont need math. I will never use it. Im an artist， and guess what, its the most important thing that I use，” Hartman said. “If I dont get that right, then the windows dont fit, the pieces dont come together and it just doesnt work out”The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear the feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesnt always get to experience with her other artworks. She said its fun to hear peoples reactions as they go through the holiday window stroll.“It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for peoples holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face，” Hartman said.【解题导语】作者介绍了“美国盛大的假日橱窗漫步”的设计者和修建者Jonnie Hartman，她带领自己的五人团队手工制作了各种展品，克服了种种挑战，并且通过这项工作她转变了对数学的态度。她喜欢听取人们对展品的反馈，享受自己为人们带来的影响和快乐。1Which of the following can replace the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragraph 2?ASeriousBExciting.CUnusual.DOrdinary.C解析：词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的“that is, something everyone can imagine and maybe not see every day in the real world”可知，那是一种每个人都能想象到的，但在真实世界中可能不能每天都见到的东西，因此，画线单词的意思是“异想天开的”，C项与此含义相近，所以选C。2What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays?AThe pattern.BThe fit.CThe colour.DThe teamwork.B解析：细节理解题。题干中的关键词是challenges，据此定位到第四段可知，Hartman在制作展品的过程中最大的挑战是确保尺寸“适合”橱窗内的要素，所以选B。3What does Hartman think about math now?AShe values it very much.BShe still thinks its useless.CIt is a piece of cake for her.DIts not suitable for her to learn.A解析：细节理解题。题干中的关键词是math，由此定位到文章第五段中的“I thought.its the most important thing that I use”，由此可知，她现在非常“重视”数学，所以选A。4Why is the holiday window stroll unique for Hartman?AIt just can make her happy.BShe has a chance to create by hand.CIt can help improve her other artworks.DShe can get some remarks from the viewers.D解析：细节理解题。题干中的关键词是unique，由此定位到文章第六段中的“The holiday window.observe her creations”，由此可知，假日橱窗漫步之所以对Jonnie Hartman来说特别是因为她能听到人们对她作品的评论，因此选D。B(2019沈阳质量监测一)My favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF”， which stands for “stopping finding faults”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely altered my life. Now I feel happier. I have more friends. I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Lets admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. Thats not good. “Believe it or not, people dont like to listen to negative opinions”One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others feelings. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant” person. Now, I find it much easier to make friends after making some changes!【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Rhonda Byrne的书秘密对作者人生态度的影响。5Why does the author like the book The Secret?ABecause hes found the secret of success from it.BBecause the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.CBecause hes learnt his fathers character from it.DBecause it helps him change his attitude towards life.D解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“After I had read my favorite book I began to seek good things in other people”和“Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner”和第四段中的“One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener”可知，秘密这本书改变了作者的人生态度，故选D项。6What do you know about the authors father?AHe makes his son feel angry and disappointed.BHe likes finding faults with people around him.CHe seems a critical person but in fact is easygoing.DHe can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.B解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world”可知，作者的父亲是一个不停地寻找别人错误的人，他认为世界上没有人是完美的，故B项正确。7The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “_”.AselfimportantBadmirableCtroublesomeDcoldbloodedA解析：词义猜测题。根据该画线词前的“When I was younger. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others feelings”可知，作者以前为了能够表明自己是多么重要，只希望人们全神贯注于自己说的话。作者在学校非常骄傲，总是不顾及别人的感受而炫耀自己的成绩，因此别人不愿意和他交朋友，大部分的人认为他是一个妄自尊大的(arrogant)人，selfimportant和arrogant同义，故选A项。8What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo persuade readers to be good listeners.BTo share his painful changing experience.CTo tell readers the influence of a book on him.DTo show the result of his fathers negative character.C解析：写作意图题。根据全文内容可知，本文重点讲述了Rhonda Byrne的书秘密对作者人生态度的影响，使其以更积极和谦恭的态度对待别人。因此作者写本篇文章的目的是告诉读者这本书对作者的影响，故选C项。 完形填空(2019南宁两校联考)How important is it to offer our love, especially to those who are closest to us, with no strings attached?
