Ⅰ.閱讀理解
Before the camera was invented, the natural world was recorded in paintings and sketches(素描) by artists like John James Audubon.
As a boy growing up in France, Audubon loved the woods and enjoyed hanging out in the wild, collecting avian(鳥類的) curiosities—bird nests and eggs—and made simple drawings. After a period of failed service in the navy, his father sent him to America.
While his father hoped his curious son would make something of himself in mining or some other enterprises, John Audubon was consumed with the natural world. He encountered young Lucy Bakewell, who was also enthusiastic about the natural world. Soon, the two fell in love with each other and got married.
Awakened by the need to provide for his wife and children, Audubon tried his hand as a store owner yet failed. His next business also failed. Then he learned fishing from his friend and earned a living by selling fishes. But he got into debt soon. When Audubon paid his debts off, he decided to follow his original passion. He set off into the wilderness, carrying little more than some basic necessities and drawing materials. There, at last, he found his calling in life.
Audubon usually stayed for months at a time in the wilderness, rising long before dawn to observe and returning in full light to paint all afternoon. At one point, he lost over 200 drawings, his entire collection, when rats found their way into his cabin and chewed them up. Again, he started over, just like how he reacted to business failures. After 14 years of tramping in the wilderness with his pen and ink, he had his collection of drawings. But avian drawings were slow to catch on in America. Still, he refused to give up. He earned enough to pay for the passage to Europe to take his chances there.
Fortunately, he was well received in England. His 435 original works came to be known as the greatest picture book ever created:The Birds of America. Eventually, John Audubon opened our minds not only to the beauty around us but also to the beauty of possibilities—if we just keep trying.

Ⅱ.七選五
Art comes in two main categories:realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects precisely as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 　1　. It's more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take Mona Lisa for example—it's a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. 　2　, helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 　3　. They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people are fond of trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.
　4　. Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 　5　.
A.Both types of art need skills
B.Photographs preserve faces of folks from long ago
C.Grasping abstract art demands more artistic training
D.Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty
E.In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances
F.Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life
G.Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations

Ⅰ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了藝術家John James Audubon的生平,他通過繪畫來記錄世界,不僅讓我們看到了周圍的美景,也讓我們看到另一種可能性——只要我們不斷嘗試,就能發現美好。
1.C　細節理解題。根據第二段中的“As a boy growing up in France, Audubon loved the woods and enjoyed hanging out in the wild, collecting avian curiosities—bird nests and eggs—and made simple drawings.”可知,Audubon小時候喜歡樹林,喜歡在野外閑逛,喜歡收集鳥類的奇物,比如鳥巢和鳥蛋,所以小時候的Audubon被野生鳥類深深吸引。故選C。
2.B　細節理解題。根據第四段中的“Awakened by the need to provide for his wife and children”可知,Audubon意識到自己需要養活妻子和孩子,所以Audubon嘗試不同的事業是為了養活自己新組建的家庭。故選B。
3.C　推理判斷題。根據第五段中的“Again, he started over, just like how he reacted to business failures. After 14 years of tramping in the wilderness...But avian drawings were slow to catch on in America. Still, he refused to give up.”可知,在Audubon失去他所有的畫之后,他選擇重新開始,并不辭辛勞長途跋涉專心繪畫,并未放棄。由此可推斷,Audubon的內心無比堅定并充滿希望。故選C。
4.D　主旨大意題。第五段中提到了Audubon去野外作畫的具體過程和經歷失敗之后的重新振作,這些都是他為了追求自己的藝術夢想所做的努力。故選D。
【高頻詞匯】　1.hang out常去某處;泡在某處
2.enthusiastic adj.熱情的　3.provide for提供生活所需
4.try one's hand初試身手　5.pay sth. off付清;償清　6.original adj.起初的;最早的　7.start over重新開始　8.catch on流行起來　9.take one's chances碰運氣
【熟詞生義】　1.curiosity n.奇物;珍品　2.calling n.職業;事業　3.passage n.(乘船的)航程,旅程
Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了兩種藝術形式——現實主義藝術和抽象派藝術各自的特點。
1.E　過渡句。設空處與上下文構成的語意結構為:現實主義藝術涉及對細節的密切關注,使事物看起來像照片一樣。→　1　→它更多的是表達感覺、情感和想法。結合常識可知,表達感覺、情感和想法的應該是抽象派藝術。E項“相比之下,抽象派藝術較少關注現實的外觀”承上啟下,“In contrast”可與上文構成對比關系,上下文銜接緊密。故選E。
2.F　過渡句。設空處與上下文構成的語意結構為:以《蒙娜麗莎》為例,這是一幅現實主義畫,畫的是一位帶著神秘微笑的女士?！?　→幫助我們了解過去。F項“像這樣的藝術作品講述了歷史和日常生活的故事”承上啟下,符合語境,F項中的“this”指代上文中的“Mona Lisa”。故選F。
3.G　細節句。設空處上一句提到,與現實主義藝術不同,抽象派藝術更注重創造性。G項“藝術家有超越現實生活表現的自由”承接上文,繼續說明抽象派藝術與現實主義藝術的不同,符合語境。故選G。
4.A　主旨句。設空處位于段首,應該是本段的主旨句。本段講到,現實主義藝術需要精確地繪畫或雕刻,使事物看起來真實;抽象派藝術需要想象力,以新的方式使用形狀和顏色。由此可知,本段講的核心內容是兩種藝術各自需要的技巧和藝術家們對兩種藝術的應用。A項“這兩種類型的藝術都需要技巧”是對本段內容的概括總結。故選A。
5.D　細節句。設空處上一句提到,這兩種藝術共同使藝術世界多樣化和引人入勝。D項“兩種藝術的創作方式有著各自的價值和美”承接上文,是對上文的補充說明。故選D。
