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，lie kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.some of picassos 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”21in the passage the writer wants to tell us _.a. about some pictures which have different stylesb. about picassos style of paintingc. it is not easy for a painter to find his own styled. that picasso has not found his own particular style解析：作者意图题。本文作者的写作意图是介绍毕加索的绘画风格，“不拘风格”正是他的绘画风格。答案：b22the sentence “sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _.a. sometimes he tore his pictures into piecesb. he broke something he was painting and threw them awayc. sometimes he showed some broken pictures to othersd. things in some of his pictures seem to be in disorder解析：细节理解题。结合上下文看，该句介绍的是毕加索的绘画风格之一，句中“he seemed to .”说明“好像那样”，但并非真正撕碎。答案：d23why have people called picasso “the youngest painter in the world”？a. because he observed things with his eyes and mind.b. because he looked young when he was old.c. because he never stopped painting even when he was old.d. because he never gave up looking for something new.解析：推理判断题。从文章最后两句话可知，毕加索终生追求完美，即使90岁高龄，也还像年轻人那样对世界充满着好奇，所以才被称为“the youngest painter in the world”。答案：d24what do you suppose the writer thinks of picassos paintings?a. he doesnt understand some of them.b. he thinks some of them are valuable, and some are not.c. he admires them，including the ugly ones.d. he doesnt like some of them, but admires the painter.解析：推理判断题。从全文看出本文作者是毕加索的忠实崇拜者，对毕加索本人及他的作品给予了极高的评价，故选c项。答案：cbsince 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 reason, i had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as walked 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 hearts desire.”25what 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.解析：主旨归纳题。文章主要讲述作者退休后开始学习绘画的故事。答案：d26the author started drawing again in 1995 because _.a. he hoped to draw a picture of his fatherb. he couldnt stop missing his fatherc. he had more time after retirementd. he liked animals and landscapes解析：推理判断题。从第一段“. perhaps i was trying to recover from the loss of my father .”可知作者想从思念父亲中转移注意力，从而推出十分想念父亲。答案：b27we can infer from the text that the author _.a. had been taught by krenkel and st. johnb. painted landscapes in minnesota for five yearsc. believed wyeth to be the best in watercolorsd. 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：c28how 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。根据最后一段中的“there is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful .”可知，作者对这种艺术生活的感受是一种享受。答案：acwhen frida kahlos paintings were on show in london, a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带) around a bomb”. such comments 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. riveras strong influence on kahlos 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, kahlos works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.29what does 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。综合全文可知，弗里达卡罗在世时，其作品并未受到人们的关注，而在其去世几十年之后，其作品才在全世界有很大的影响力。所以，她现在比其在世时更出名，享有更大的声誉。故选d项。答案：d30the terrible pain kahlo suffered was caused by _.a. poliob. her bent spinec. back injuriesd. the operations she had解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“throughout the rest of her life . but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her

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：bdmarla olmstead, a fouryearold girl, is wowing (博得的称赞) the new york art world with paintings that are drawing comparisons with jackson pollock and wasaily kandinsky. marla has been painting since just before she was two years old.using brushes ，knives, her fingers and even bottles, she is creating canvases (画布) of six by six foot. the little girl has already sold about 25 paintings，raising $40,000 and a new exhibition opens this week.father mark, speaking to reporters while on a trip to new york city to do television interviews, said, “she does her own thing, she uses a lot of paint but is oblivious (不在意的) to the whole thing.” he said she had first started painting shortly before her second birthday as her father tried to stop her distracting him from his own amateur art.“im her assistant, i hand her the brushes. she doesnt appreciate that most artists have to wait longer to have an assistant，” he joked.gallery (画廊) owner anthony brunelli said of 10 pieces about to go on show, six were already sold. he said marlas work was unbelievable for a child. “ her paintings have bright colors. theyre very expressive in the way the paint is applied.”mr brunelli said, “you never can tell marlas future. ive seen her progressing over the past year. the four she just did，each one gets better.”33when the passage was written，marla olmstead had been painting for about _.a. four years b. three yearsc. two years d. one year解析：推理判断题。根据文章开头“marla olmstead, a fouryearold girl .”及“marla has been painting since just before .”可知在写这篇文章时玛勒奥姆斯戴德已经是四岁了，而她是在两岁前不久开始作画的，故选c项。答案：c34according to the passage, we know that marla olmsteads painting skills are instructed by _.a. herself b. her fatherc. wasaily kandinsky d. jackson pollock解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“she does her own thing, she uses a lot of paint but is oblivious to the whole thing.”可知玛勒奥姆斯戴德的画是她自己画的，并没有人指导。答案：a35most people who see marla olmsteads pictures will feel _.a. sad b. dullc. angry d. happy解析：推理判断题。由第五段的“her paintings have bright colors. theyre very expressive in the way the paint is applied.”可知，她所画的画用的是比较鲜明的颜色，因此使人看起来很高兴。答案：d第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。learning a second languagesome people learn a second language easily. _36_
