Ⅲ.閱讀理解
For the creative-minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白畫布) for art. But often, it s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadows (影子), his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, a former map maker, turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectations,” he said of his first-ever creation that he looked down at from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex, Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck s drawings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
1.Where does Simon Beck create art
A.On maps.　　　B.On canvas.
C.On soccer fields.　　　D.On snowfields.
2.Why did Beck create his first drawing
A.To have fun.　　　B.To prove his talent.
C.To entertain the skiers.　　　D.To develop a new hobby.
3.How did Beck feel about his first drawing
A.Surprised.　　　B.Unsatisfied.　　　C.Annoyed.　　　D.Indifferent.
4.What contributed to Beck s art creation
A.His passion for skiing.　　　B.His competitive nature.
C.His dream to be an artist.　　　D.His experience of making maps.
Ⅳ.七選五
　　As is well known, making art is good for your health. It can reduce stress and improve your spirit. But you don t have to be a full-time artist to get these benefits.　1　 And the more you do it, the better. Here are some tips to help you set your creative art habit in motion.
Don t require yourself to have great skills. In fact, there are no differences in health outcomes between those who are considered experienced in art and those who aren t. 　2　
Figure out your mode of creative expression. There are many choices available: painting, composing, cooking, baking, woodworking, sewing—the sky is the limit. 　3　 Anything that sets off your creative mind is good for you. And don t feel like you have to stick to one thing. Mix it up—do whatever you re in the mood for.
　4　 Once you have your art materials, here comes the fun part. Let yourself get lost in the process and just play. It s the physical act of making art that causes positive spirits, not what you make. So, you don t even need to finish what you re making to feel those health benefits.
Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends, you should make time for your artistic creation. You don t even need a few hours. Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders. 　5　 You could set up a corner table for your art supplies. If space is an issue, put them all in a container that s easily accessible.
A.Keep an open mind.
B.Improve yourself with regular practice.
C.Focus on the making and let go of expectations.
D.However, developing interest in art takes little time.
E.In addition to sparing time, spare a physical space for art.
F.All you need to do is just spare some time to make art in your daily life.
G.So no matter what your level is, you could feel all the good things that come with making art.

閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。
As the school Halloween party was just around the corner, the school hall was full of children dressed in different shapes and colours of spooks (鬼) and the wonder. Some walked in as princes and princesses, some stepped in as vampires (吸血鬼) and superheroes and some made dramatic entrances as astronauts and historical figures. But one little girl walked in, hiding her face and hoping nobody would take notice of her grey pants and white T-shirt.
Ellie wanted to dress up as a princess that year. Her dad had promised her a few months earlier that her costume would turn a lot of heads. But, as you know, sometimes dads are too busy with their work and forget the small but important things while dealing with the big important ones. When Ellie s dad forgot to save up for her princess costume for the school Halloween party that year, she wasn t mad at him. However, she couldn t hold her tears back when the mean kids from her class started making fun of her.
“What are you supposed to be dressed as Ugly Ellie ” one of the boys laughed quietly. Ellie covered her ears and cried as she heard the kids crying out her latest nickname and laughing naughtily over and over again. Every face around her was unkind and indifferent to her sadness.
Mr. Borges was her favourite art teacher and Ellie liked his classes very much. He would listen to Ellie s deepest fears and biggest dreams. Ellie lived with her grandmother, but it was Mr. Borges who took the place of her father as her guardian, because her father was too busy with his work.
Just as the boys were making fun of Ellie, Mr. Borges came up to her. He was trying to tell her something. The girl wiped her tears right away and managed to escape the crowd of children, closely following him.
“Wait here!” Mr. Borges said and walked into the supply closet (貯藏室). A moment later, he returned, with a few rolls of toilet paper in his hand. Ellie couldn t help but wonder why he was holding a few rolls of toilet paper.
注意:續寫詞數應為150個左右。
“What s that for ” Ellie asked.

Ⅲ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了藝術家Simon Beck在雪地上創作巨幅幾何畫的故事。
1.D　細節理解題。根據第一段中的“He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow.”可知,Simon Beck在足球場大小、覆蓋著皚皚白雪的地方行走,在上面創造出巨大的大地藝術畫作。由此可知,他是在雪地上創作藝術畫作的。故選D。
2.A　細節理解題。根據第三段中Simon Beck說的話“After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”可知,Simon Beck一開始是為了找點樂子才在雪地上畫畫的。故選A。
3.A　推理判斷題。根據第四段中Simon Beck說的話“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectations”可知,當 Simon Beck創作第一幅畫的時候,他真的不知道這幅畫會有多好看,但畫作真的超出了他的預期。由此可推斷,他對他的第一幅作品感到驚喜。故選A。
4.D　推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“Beck, a former map maker, turned into a snow artist”和第五段中的 “It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.”可知,Beck以前是一位地圖制作者,由于他以前的工作經驗,在雪地上畫畫一點也不具有挑戰性。由此可推斷,他之前制作地圖的經驗有助于他的藝術創作。

2.G　細節句。根據上文“In fact, there are no differences...and those who aren t.”可知,有無藝術經驗對健康帶來的效果沒有區別,因此G項“因此不管你的水平如何,你都能在創作藝術的時候感受到藝術帶來的所有美好的東西”符合語境。
3.A　細節句。根據下文“Anything that sets off... in the mood for.”可知,不要給藝術設限,要對各種各樣的藝術形式保持開明的態度,故 A項“保持開放的心態”符合語境。
4.C　主旨句。設空處為本段的主旨句,根據第二、三、五段的開頭句可知,此處應選祈使句作為本段的主旨句。根據下文“Let yourself get lost in...not what you make.”可知,我們應關注創作的過程并盡情享受其中,因此C項“專注于創作,放棄期待”符合本段主旨。
5.E　過渡句。設空處與上下文構成的語境為:每天只做10分鐘的藝術就能創造奇跡→　5　→你可以安排一個在角落的桌子用來放你的藝術用品。由此可知,設空處承上啟下,E項“除了擠出時間,還要為藝術留出一個物理空間”符合語境。
【高頻詞匯】　　1.figure out弄明白;算出　2.set off 引發;激起　3.stick to 堅持;遵守　4.in the mood for有心情做……　5.hang out閑逛
長難句　原句　In fact, there are no differences in health outcomes between those who are considered experienced in art and those who aren t.
分析　本句是主從復合句?！皐ho are considered experienced in art”和“who aren t”都是定語從句,都修飾其前的those。
譯文　事實上,那些被認為有藝術經驗的人和那些沒有藝術經驗的人在健康結果上沒有差異。

“What s that for ” Ellie asked. “It s your Halloween costume. It s going to be the best costume ever!” Mr. Borges said with an excited smile. Surprised and expectant, Ellie stood frozen on the spot with her eyes wide open. “Come over here,” Mr. Borges gestured to the costume and started to wrap toilet paper around her all over. Seeing herself in the mirror, Ellie jumped up and down, clapping her hands joyfully. “I love it! I love it! Mr. Borges. Thank you!” She hugged Mr. Borges and placed a tiny kiss on his cheek.
What Mr. Borges did meant everything to Ellie, especially in the field of art.“Thank you for your kindness,” thanked Ellie, with tears brimming in her eyes. Mr. Borges replied with a big toothy smile and encouraged her,“I can see your artistic talent. Why not give it a shot ” Under Mr. Borges encouragement, Ellie started to pick up the brush and buried herself in fine art. The little girl that used to be teased by her classmates later became a distinguished artist. Never would Ellie forget that there was a teacher with a heart of gold, who was willing to lend her a hand when she was at rock bottom.
