Ⅰ.閱讀理解
Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged(蓬亂). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin s innovative drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings(版畫) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin s parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin s awe-inspiring works and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.

Ⅱ.七選五
Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people s living rooms, and the sides of buildings. So, why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication.　1　 It s a way for them to express themselves before they re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
　2　 When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context.　3　 This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 　4　
In therapy (療法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 　5　 In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A.These are its major benefits.
B.Children love to draw, sing and dance.
C.How does it have an impact on our life
D.Art and human history go hand in hand.
E.It can help people handle mental problems.
F.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
G.Similarly, future generations will learn about current events by the art we leave behind.

Ⅰ.1.wire　2.trend　3.contrast　4.innovative　5.abstract
Ⅱ.題型(一)
1.puzzled; puzzling　考查分詞。句意:當我注意到他看起來困惑時,我意識到他不理解這個令人困惑的問題。分析句子結構并結合句意可知,第一空作表語,表示人的表情,意為“困惑的”,故填 puzzled;第二空作定語,修飾物,意為“令人困惑的”,故填puzzling。
特別提醒　　　分詞作表語時,大多數都已經被形容詞化了。-ing形式的形容詞作表語時,一般是物作主語,通常表示“某事/某物令人……的”;而-ed形式的形容詞作表語時,一般是人作主語,表示人的感受,意為“感到……的”。
2.seated　考查過去分詞作表語。句意:請坐好別動;獲獎者很快就會被公布。 remain為連系動詞,此處表示主語的狀態,所以填seated,意為“入座的,坐下來的”。
3.to study　考查動詞不定式作表語。句意:作為一名高中生,最重要的任務是努力學習,這決定了他的未來。此處應用動詞不定式作表語,說明主語的具體內容。故填to study。

6.convincing　考查現在分詞作表語。句意:她說的話聽起來很有說服力,但我認為它是個謊言。本空在句中作表語,根據句意可知,本空應用現在分詞convincing,意為“有說服力的”。
7.to help　考查動詞不定式作表語。句意:幫助別人就是幫助我們自己,所以當別人有困難時,要毫不猶豫地提供你的幫助。本空在句中作表語,主語為不定式短語To help others,故本空應用不定式作表語。
特別提醒　　　不定式或動名詞在句中作表語時,要注意與句子的主語在形式上保持一致,即若句子的主語用動名詞,則表語也應使用動名詞;若主語為不定式,則表語也使用不定式。例如,To see is to believe./Seeing is believing.眼見為實。
8.delighted　考查過去分詞作表語。句意:顯然,我們都非常高興地歡迎另一只小牛加入我們的黑犀牛家庭。delighted表示人的情緒,意為“感到高興的”。

Ⅰ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。Benjamin 小時候喜歡畫畫,很有畫畫的天賦。在他的堂兄和一位知名畫家的影響下,他立志成為一名畫家。
1.C　主旨大意題。本文講述了美國畫家Benjamin West小時候的畫畫經歷及他是如何立志成為一名畫家的,故選C。
2.D　推理判斷題。本段主要講了Benjamin的堂兄Pennington由于被Benjamin的繪畫才能打動,于是送給他一些顏料和一些真正的畫筆,所以畫線句“貓的境地將得到改善”是表明Benjamin很快有了真正的畫筆,不用剪貓的毛來做畫筆了。故選D。
3.B　細節理解題。由文章的第三段可知,Benjamin的堂兄Pennington給他提供了顏料和畫筆;由第四段可知Pennington給他提供了創作油畫的材料,故選B。
4.D　推理判斷題。從文章的最后一段可知Williams給了他兩本有關畫畫的經典著作,但是他其實不是很懂,不過卻愛不釋手。同時從最后一句“The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.”也可以推斷出這兩本書幫助他下定決心成為一名畫家。故選D。

Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要分析了藝術重要的原因。
1.B　細節句。根據下文“It s a way for them to express themselves before they re able to speak.”可知,B項“Children love to draw, sing, and dance.(孩子們喜歡畫畫、唱歌和跳舞。)”與下文銜接合理,后文中的“them”指代B項中的“Children”,“It”指代B項中提到的“draw, sing and dance”。
2.F　主旨句。設空處為該段的主題句,分析了藝術重要的原因之一。根據下文“However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills... collaborate with team members.”可知,該段主要表達了很多工作都需要員工具有一定的軟技能,F項“It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.”指出了藝術可以幫助人們發展必要的軟技能,這是藝術重要的原因之一,符合本段主題。
3.D　細節句。根據上一句“It provides historical context.”和下一句“This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more.”可知,藝術具有歷史背景,通過研究藝術,我們可以發掘更多的歷史知識,可見藝術和歷史是息息相關的。D項 “Art and human history go hand in hand.”表達了這層含義,下一句中的“This”指的就是D項所表達的內容。
4.G　細節句。根據上一句“We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it.”可知,我們可以通過學習藝術來了解前人所面臨的問題,以及他們是如何克服的。G項“Similarly, future generations will learn about current events by the art we leave behind.”進一步解釋說明了“It provides historical context.”這一段落主旨,即我們可以通過藝術了解前人,同樣我們的后代也可以通過藝術了解我們,語意銜接合理。
5.E　主旨句。根據空前句“In therapy settings, art also provides...difficult to discuss.”和下文“This group was able to improve their mood...another drawing.”可知,藝術能夠幫助孩子們挖掘和表達情感,并改善情緒。E項“It can help people handle mental problems.(它可以幫助人們解決心理問題。)”表達了這層含義,也是該段的主題句。

長難句　原句　This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
分析　本句為主從復合句。“when compared with children”為狀語從句的省略; “who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing”為who引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞children。
譯文　與那些被指示畫消極事件或只是復制另一幅畫的孩子相比,這組孩子的情緒得到了改善。
