scored as high as 8 out of 10 for friendliness,the people only gave the company as a whole 6 out of 10.On this point,they suggested that we use some good phrases on the phone.I think we can choose some new hold music as well.And finally,efficiency.Now here,we did quite well.However,there were one or two bad points which we still have to work on,such as always remembering to ask the callers name.So,we need to do a lot of work.17.When was the survey carried out?A.Several months ago.B.Several weeks ago.C.Several days ago.答案A18.What was the score for friendliness as a whole?A.8 out of

born in GrootZundert,Holland in 1853.He was brought up in a cultured family.Vincent was highly emotional and wasnt self-confident.Between 1860 and 1880,when he finally decided to become an artist,van Gogh had two unhappy love stories and worked unsuccessfully in Belgium.He remained there to study art,and decided to give happiness by creating beauty.Of the works of his early Dutch period,the most famous is The Potato Eaters.In 1886 he went to Paris to join his brother Tho,the manager of Goupils gallery.In Paris,van Gogh studied with Cormon,later met Pissarro,Monet,and Gauguin,and began to lighten his very dark palette(调色板).His nervousness made him a difficult person to get along with and night-long discussions and painting all day undermined his health.He decided to go south to Arles where he hoped his friends would join him and help set up a school of art.Gauguin did join him but with bad results.Near the end of 1888,van Gogh ran after Gauguin with an open razor(剃须刀),was stopped by him,but ended up cutting a part of his own ear off.It led Gauguin to finally leave Arles.In the May of 1890,van Gogh seemed much better and went to live in Auvers-sur-Oise under the eye of Dr Gachet.Two months later he was dead,having shot himself “for the good of all”.During his life he had sold one painting.Van Goghs finest works were produced in less than three years.21.Vincent van Gogh expressed himself in his works mainly .A.by shapeB.by colourC.with brush linesD.with words答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Vincent van Gogh(凡高),for whom colour was the main symbol of expression.”可知,对凡高来说,颜色是他在作品中表达自己的主要符号,故选B项。22.Before vincent van Gogh started to learn art .A.he did a good jobB.he was popular with the other artistsC.he lived a frustrating lifeD.he had no interest in art答案C解析推理判断题。根据第一段第四句可知,凡高在学习艺术之前,爱情和工作上都不顺利,因此他的生活不顺心。23.The underlined word “undermined” in the second paragraph could be replaced by “”.A.affectedB.protectedC.testedD.changed答案A解析词义猜测题。该词所在句子的句意:神经质使他成为一个很难相处的人,并且整夜的讨论再加上白天画画损害了他的健康。affect“影响,对有坏影响”,与其意思相近,故选A项。24.Which of the following about van Gogh is TRUE?A.He was a confident boy when he was young.B.He was born in Belgium and once worked in Holland.C.He lost a part of his ear at the age of 35.D.He had never sold any paintings during his life.答案C解析细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知A项错误;由第一段第一句可知B项错误;由第三段第三句可知D项错误;由第一段第一句以及第二段末可知,凡高出生于1853年,1888年自己砍掉部分耳朵,故C项正确。B(思维品质)Mary Cassatt is one of the first great women American painters.At first her father did not want her to become an artist.But she followed her dreams and became an artist.She was born on May 22,1844,and lived in Europe for several years as a child.Her family returned to the United States and,at age 16,Mary attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.Four years later she decided she couldnt learn anything fresh and practical in Philadelphia,so she returned to Europe.There she studied the skills of the masters in Rome,Seville,Antwerp,and Paris.Mary received the chance of a lifetime at the age of 33 when the famous French painter,Edgar Degas,asked her to join a group of painters that included now-famous artists like Manet and Renoir.Their style of painting is called Impressionism.They used primary colours and short brush strokes in their work.They recognised Marys spirit and powerful talent and invited her to exhibit in the Impressionist art shows.Mary painted what she saw:gardens and paintings of persons,especially of mothers and children involved in everyday living.One of her paintings,Young Mother and Two Children,was given to the White House in 1954 where it hangs today.Mary never married and,in 1877,her parents and sister moved to Europe to join her.Mary devoted much of her time to them for the next 18 years.Mary painted until 1914 when her failing eyesight made it impossible to continue.She spent the later years of her life in Paris.She died in 1926 at the age of 82.Unfortunately,all her life,she refused to accept students.25.Mary left Pennsylvania for Europe at age 20 mainly because .A.she didnt learn anything in PennsylvaniaB.she wanted to give up paintingC.her desire for the learning wasnt satisfied wellD.her father didnt want her to learn painting again答案C解析细节理解题。从第二段第二句可知,玛丽卡萨特断定她在费城不能学到新鲜和实用的东西,也就是说,她学习的欲望没有被很好地满足,所以C项正确。26.Mary Cassatt stopping painting because of.A.her poor eyesightB.her old ageC.interestD.her family答案A解析细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句可知,1914年她衰退的视力使她不能继续画画,所以A项正确。27.Which of the statements about Mary Cassatt is supported by the passage?A.Her paintings featured scenes of everyday living.B.Her father had a decisive(决定性的)effect on her painting.C.She used various colours and long lines in her works.D.She studied the paintings of the masters in the USA.答案A解析推理判断题。由第四段可知,玛丽画她所看到的,如日常生活中的花园以及人物,由此可推知A项“她的画以日常生活的场景为特征”正确。28.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.the paintings of Edgar Degas belong to realismB.during the last ten year of life,she painted nothingC.her works were controversial though highly recognisedD.her students showed great respect for her答案B解析推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,玛丽1914年视力衰退,不能继续画画,于1926年去世,因此在其生命的最后十年她没有再画画,所以B项正确。C(思维品质)How can I describe the wonder I felt the first time I saw my favorite painting,Georges Seurats A Sunday on La Grande Jatte?I had admired the work for years in art books,but I never thought I would see the actual painting,which was housed in many miles from where I lived.I finally got my chance when I met someone else who loved the painter as much as I did.Her name was Lisa;we lived in the same dormitory,and a mutual friend(a friend that two people both have) had introduced us to each other,knowing how much both of us were fond of art.We both had three days off at the same time,so we decided to make a road trip to Chicago so we could see the painting.We packed our bags,jumped in the car,and headed on our way toward Chicago.The first thing that struck me as we entered the room where the painting was displayed was the size of the work.It was enormous(huge)!It covered a large part of an even larger wall.The painting was painted with dots,a technique called pointillism.To create such a huge painting using this technique seemed an almost impossible task.Seurat had done it,though,and had made it look easy!Even more impressive,however,was the beauty of the painting.Viewed from a distance,the colors looked soft and gentle,describing the idyllic(happy and peaceful) mood of a summer day in the park.When I approached the painting,though,its colors exploded into very many hues(colors),showing the artists skill in combining colors to create a mood.Even the parts of the painting that appeared white from a distance were vibrantly(充满生气的) multicolored(having many different colors) when viewed up close.The effect was unbelievable;we sat and stared at the painting in wonder for a good part of the afternoon.29.What do we know about Lisa?A.She lives in Chicago.B.She has a lot of friends.C.She is good at painting.D.She loves Seurats works.答案D解析细节理解题。由第一段“I finally got my chance when I met someone else who loved the painter as much as I did.”可知,Lisa也非常喜欢修拉的作品。30.The moment the author went into the room,she was amazed by .A.the walls beautyB.the paintings sizeC.the artists techniqueD.the rooms atmosphere答案B解析细节理解题。由第二段“The first thing that struck me.was the size of the work.”可知,作者一进入展厅,就惊讶于作品的尺寸。31.When you look at the painting from different distances,.A.its colors look differentB.its mood changes greatlyC.it shows different scenesD.it has different backgrounds答案A解析推理判断题。由最后两段可知,从不同的距离欣赏这幅作品,它的颜色看起来不同。B、C、D三项的变化在文中均未提到,只提到了从不同的距离欣赏这幅作品,颜色看起来不同,可排除B、C、D三项。32.The text is probably written by .A.an artistB.a studentC.a tour guideD.a news reporter答案B解析推理判断题。由第一段“we lived in the same dormitory”可推断,作者是一名学生。D(思维品质)Today many people call Paul Czanne the Father of Modern Painting.In fact,he sold few pictures and won no prizes.He had to be supported by his father and was also helped by the writer mile Zola,his boyhood friend.Only in the last ten years of his life was his greatness recognised.Paul Czanne was born in Aix-en-Provence,France,on Jan.19,1839.His father,Louis-Auguste,was a successful banker.Czanne received an education at the Collge Bourbon and studied drawing at the Aix Museum.After studying for a short time at law school and working in his fathers bank,he went to Paris to study painting.Then he often returned to Aix.He worked in summer painting the scenery near his fathers home away from the center of the city.During the Franco-Prussian War,in 1870,Czanne fled to LEstaque,near Marseilles.With him went Hortense Fiquet.In 1872 their son Paul was born.Czanne took part in the first exhibition of impressionist(印象派的) paintings in 1874,though he later broke with the impressionists.He was more concerned with structure and colour than with the effects produced by light.Not until Czanne was about 60 years old did galleries and museums begin to look for his works.Even with his newfound success he still remained unsociable.However,he continued to paint until a week before his death on Oct.22,1906.Most 20th-century painters were influenced by Czanne.He invented a way of modeling three-dimensional(三维的)forms by painting in small areas of colour.He painted from nature but often changed a shape or its colour to express its special effect.His finest works are very calm and peaceful but they are powerful expressions of forms in space.33.During most of his life,Paul Czanne seemed to .A.be a failureB.be a great artistC.like to help othersD.like to make friends答案A解析推理判断题。根据第一段可知,保罗塞尚卖掉的画作很少,也没有获过奖项,他不得不依靠父亲和朋友的资助,而他的伟大在其生命的后十年才被认可。由此可推断,保罗塞尚在一生中的大部分时间里看似是个失败者。34.What was Paul Czannes attitude towards impressionist paintings in his later life?A.Hopeful.B.Uncertain.C.Favourable.D.Uninterested.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第四段的“he later broke with the impressionists.He was more concerned with structure and colour than.”可知,塞尚并不喜欢印象派绘画。35.The last paragraph mainly tells us about Paul Czannes .A.finest worksB.painting styleC.favourite paintersD.powerful influence答案B解析段落大意题。从最后一段的“He invented a way of .often changed a shape or its colour to.they are powerful expressions of forms in space.”可知,本段主要介绍了塞尚的绘画风格。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(思维品质)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。导学号17654026Once upon a time there was a painter who had just finished his course from a great painter.He wanted to judge his skills,so he decided to show one of his best works on a busy street.36 And below it a board read “Gentlemen,I have painted this piece.Since Im new,I might have made some mistakes in my work.37 ”When he came back in the evening to collect his painting,he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses.38 He burst into tears and said sadly,“Im useless and if this is what I have learned to paint,Im not worth t
