The paintings were highly realistic, some of which even showed movement.The artwork, more than a thousand drawings, is considered the oldest group of human cave drawings ever discovered. They were well preserved for the cave was sealed for 23,000 years.On December 18, 1994, a group of French cave scientists were exploring caves in southern France. Jean Chauvet, who led the group, describes discovering the cave paintings.“Eliette was just walking behind me, and Christian behind. Eliette said she saw two marks made with red ochre. And at this very moment everything began. The drawings and everything linked to the parietal art (壁画). Thats where it started.”Cave art expert Jean Clottes reviewed the paintings. “I was amazed at the number of paintings there were and of their quality and particularly in front of the panel of the horses.”Scientific analysis confirmed the prehistoric date of the artwork. Studies showed the drawings were created tens of thousands of years ago, before human history was written.The United Nations group UNESCO lists the cave as a World Heritage site. They think the drawings form a remarkable expression of early human artistic creation of grand excellence and variety.The Chauvet cave is named for the explorer who first entered it. Its environment and drawings are very fragile. So the cave is closed, and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.However, French authorities wanted the public to see the cave and artwork, too. So they asked experts to create an exact copy of the cave, called Pont dArc Cavern. The copy cost $59 million to build, which opened in April 2015 in France.Pascal Terrasse, the president of the cavern, says everyone will be able to experience the thrill of looking at drawings made by the first humans in Europe. Authorities say they think as many as 400,000 people will visit the Pont dArc Cavern every year.语篇解读：文章介绍了肖维岩洞的基本情况：它的发现、探索及现状等。4Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Chauvet cave?AIt was closed off for tens of hundreds of years.BIt is thought to be the origin of modern parietal art.CThe environment and drawings are very easy to damage.DThe majority of drawings there are about the extinct animals.解析：选C细节理解题。从倒数第三段的“Its environment and drawings are very fragile”可知，肖维岩洞里的环境和壁画极容易受到破坏。fragile意为“易受伤害的，易碎的”。故C项正确。5According to the passage, the first scientist to enter the cave was _.AChristian BElietteCClottes DChauvet解析：选D细节理解题。从第四段的“Eliette was just walking behind me, and Christian behind”和倒数第三段的“The Chauvet cave is named for the explorer who first entered it”可知，第一个走进岩洞的人是Jean Chauvet。6Who can pay a visit to the Chauvet cave nowadays?APeople who do scientific researches.BPeople who found the cave first.COfficials protecting the environment.DPeople from the United Nations.解析：选A细节理解题。从倒数第三段的“. and only people there for scientific purposes can go inside and see the artwork.”可知，现如今只有那些做科学研究的人才可以进肖维岩洞。故答案选A项。7The purpose of creating Pont dArc Cavern is to _.Aarouse visitors awareness of protecting relicsBshow admiration to the earliest artists in EuropeCoffer visitors chances to view the earliest drawingsDcollect money for the perseverance of the Chauvet cave解析：选C推理判断题。从最后两段的内容可知，法国政府为了揭开肖维岩洞之谜，让更多人了解肖维岩洞并观赏到岩洞内的艺术画作，他们让专家们根据肖维岩洞原型创建了另外一个Pont dArc Cavern。故答案选C项。CChinese painting, also known as the traditional national painting, one of the traditional paintings with a long history, has its unique and independent system.Using brushes, ink, and Chinese pigments (天然颜料), a painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk.The traditional subjects are figure, landscapes, flowers and birds.In comparison with Western painting, Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics.After a careful study of the object, a painter can discover the rules of its structure, and then produce it by the minds eye.It is not merely a simple copy, but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the producer, turning a natural image into an “artistic image”The object can show the artists feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in spirit, but also in appearance.”Not all the objects are to be drawn on the paper, and much space is left for the imagination.The use of line is important in Chinese painting.Clear, swift, sharp and changeable lines are combined with the push, pint and press of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of tone.Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting.Different ways of creating lines are used when painting a landscape, flowers and birds, clouds, and bamboos.Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy (书法) are different branches of art stemming from the same origin.They use the same kind of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines of calligraphy.Though they are different artistic forms, they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings.They influence each other to create another artistic feature.语篇解读：本文是说明文。中国的国画艺术，用一张宣纸，一支毛笔，勾勒出画家的内心世界，写意出山水花鸟的生命和灵魂。8Which of the following words can be used to describe the common subjects of traditional Chinese painting? AValuable. BIndependent.CSpecial. DNatural.解析：选D推理判断题。由第一段可知，画的内容通常是人物、风景、花鸟，故自然物较多，D正确。9The writer believes that a traditional Chinese painters picture _.Areflects social problems of his timesBdescribes mainly a natural imageCexpresses his thoughtsDtells a true story解析：选C推理判断题。由第二段“The object can show the artists feelings and personality to achieve the effect of being alike not only in spirit, but also in appearance”可知国画更侧重创造出“艺术形象”，表达作者的情感和个性，不仅“形似”，而且“神似”，故C正确。10It can be inferred that a traditional Chinese painter spent much time _.AtravellingBlearning to draw linesCreadingDstudying calligraphy before drawing解析：选B推理判断题。第二段说国画不管是画人物还是画风景、花鸟，都主要通过线条的各种变化来表现，所以线条的运用多，技巧多，学习画好线条自然是要下大力气的。11What do painting and calligraphy have in common? AUsing the similar techniques.BStarting from the same period.CBelonging to the same artistic forms.DCovering the same themes.解析：选A细节理解题。由第三段“They use the same kind of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines of calligraphy.”可知中国国画与书法艺术都注重线条的运用和变化，绘画中线条的运用只不过是书法中线条运用的变通，故在这一技法上是相通的，故A正确。DEveryone seems to be living for someone else.I had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. I noticed something interesting when people came to buy watermelons, but nobody paid any attention to it because it seemed to be a common practice: almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly rap it, apparently trying to listen to something. I wondered what they expected to hear. Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer an elderly gentleman about this. Hearing my question, he roared with laughter. Then he replied in a selfmocking tone，“Young lady, I have been doing this for more than fifty years. But all I know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave.”Not long after that, my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding, which really surprised me. I asked her，“How come youre seized on a whim to get married? I even didnt know you had got a boyfriend.” She answered while counting money，“Everyone has to get married anyway. So, better sooner than later.”Have they forgotten their own heart? It may be safer and save a lot more worries to swim_with_the_tide. The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride. But why do people usually feel uneasy when using “I”？I find these somewhat funny. We have got used to following others example. We feel at ease and justified simply because this is a way of US, a way having been practiced by so many people. But this massive practice is still wrong though we all follow suit. And in turn, we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard.语篇解读：作者通过身边人的事例，发现人们在生活中往往“随大流”，盲从别人，没有跟随自己的内心。12Why did the elderly gentleman rap the watermelon before buying it?ABecause he expected to hear something.BBecause he knew nothing about it.CBecause he just followed suit.DBecause he was a fool.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“But all I know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave.”可知，老人不知道敲西瓜的确切原因，只是看到别人都在敲，如果自己不敲一下，会被人认为是一个傻子。故选C项。13Which of the following can best replace the phrase“swim with the tide”？AFollow the crowd.BSwim against the tide.CWear other peoples clothes.DFollow your heart.解析：选A词义猜测题。根据第四段第三句“The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride.”可推断出本句中的tide(潮水)指的应该是“WE or US”，而swim with the tide意为“跟随人群；随大流；从众”。故选A项。14What will be most likely written about by the author in the next paragraph?ANothing.BA story about following your heart.CA funny story about how to follow your heart.DAn example about judging others by your own standard.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段末句“.we also take it for granted that we should judge the right and wrong of others by our own standard.”可推断出下文可能会与“用自己的标准评价别人”有关，故选D项。15Which is right according to the passage?AThe authors attitude to “follow others example” is positive.BThe author understood why people rapped a watermelon at last.CThe author felt unexpected when her watermelon stall friend wanted to get married.DThe practice of following suit makes people feel at ease and justified only because it is a way of America.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“.my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding, which really surprised me.”可知，朋友结婚出乎作者的意料，故选C项。.阅读七选五(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。Eating a lot of vegetables every day can give vitamins and nutrients to your body. _16_ If you are not fond of eating vegetables then you are on the right track now.
