B．instrumentC．equipment D．argument解析：根据第一段第一句到第四句可知，作者小时候身边的朋友都不听古典音乐，当时很少有孩子能学一种“乐器”超过一两年，但作者学了三年钢琴。2．A．advised B．allowedC．instructed D．persuaded解析：结合空前的But可推知，但是作者的父亲说服(persuade)作者学习弹了三年的钢琴。3．A．pletely B．generallyC．cruelly D．hopefully解析：根据下文作者讲述的经历，尤其是最后一段可以推知，有一件事“完全”改变了作者。4．A．boring B．secureC．sweet D．brief解析：根据下文中的therewerequiteacrowdofpeople和当时的氛围，再结合四个选项的意思可推知，在作者看来，这个聚会是温馨甜蜜的，故选sweet。5．A．city B．ageC．height D．dream解析：根据上文中的birthdaypartyofoneofmyclassmates可推知，这个聚会是作者班里同学的生日聚会，所以很多来宾和作者年龄(age)相当。6．A．buying B．earningC．breaking D．cooking解析：根据第18空前的thentheparentscameoutofthekitchen可推知，同学的父母正在厨房里为大家做饭，故用cook。7．A．actually B．foolishlyC．suddenly D．curiously解析：本句前后的内容没有信息作为铺垫，所以女孩是突然提出让作者弹钢琴的，故选suddenly。8．A．eon B．GetoutC．Breakout D．Carryon解析：女孩主动提议让作者演奏，所以她在鼓励和敦促作者勇敢地表现自己，故此处用eon。9．A．admitted B．observedC．figured D．regretted解析：联系第一段第一句和本空后的内容可知，在作者看来，大家根本就不会喜欢他会演奏的音乐。figure在此处意为“以为”。10．A．knowledge B．delightC．respect D．interest解析：作者以为大家对他演奏的钢琴曲根本不会感兴趣。showinterestin...“对……感兴趣”。11．A．shyly B．stronglyC．luckily D．hardly解析：根据下文可推知，尽管作者“强烈”反对，朋友们还是把作者推到了钢琴前面。12．A．forced B．guidedC．invited D．protected解析：根据上文可知，作者并非自愿，所以他简直就是被“逼迫”在钢琴前面坐下来的。13．A．keys B．lettersC．words D．pictures解析：作者坐下来后面对的是钢琴，摆在他眼前的就是钢琴的88个黑白相间的琴键(key)。14．A．music B．partyC．meal D．mind解析：根据上一句“Whattoplay？”可推知，此处指作者在脑海中寻找答案，故选mind。15．A．ending B．openingC．reading D．stop解析：心中有了答案之后，作者开始演奏贝多芬的《月光奏鸣曲》，此处指《月光奏鸣曲》的开端(opening)。16．A．quarrel B．relaxationC．silence D．noise解析：根据大家听到演奏后的表现可知，大家被琴声所吸引，安静了下来，欣赏作者演奏的音乐，故选silence。17．A．moving B．sendingC．looking D．hearing解析：根据空后的towardme可推知，再次演奏完两个小节之后，作者感觉人们向他的方向移动，故用move。18．A．satisfied B．annoyedC．disappointed D．surprised解析：联系上文描述的当时的情景可知，大家都安静下来，被作者的演奏所吸引，而正在厨房里忙活的同学的父母肯定很吃惊，所以出来看看情况，故surprised符合语境。19．A．easy B．hardC．certain D．glad解析：作者以往以为人们对古典音乐不感兴趣，所以看到鼓掌和欢呼的时候作者感到“难”以置信。20．A．rememberingB．consideringC．practicing D．imaging解析：根据第一段倒数第二句可知，作者学习了三年钢琴之后放弃了，所以他现在觉得如果他以前知道会发生这种事情，他就永远不会放弃“练习”弹钢琴。Ⅱ.阅读理解AInpainting,pointillism(点描画法)isastylethatusessmalldotstocreateandimage.OneofthemostfamousexamplesisGeorgesSeurat'spainting“ASundayAfternoonontheIslandofLaGrandeJatte－1884”．Theworkdescribesaparkpopulatedbypeoplerelaxingundertreesandtakingpartinotherrelaxingactivities.Inthe1880s,SeuratandPaulSignacdevelopedpointillism.Itwasfirstcalled“divisionism”.Thename“Pointillism”wasdevelopedonlylater,andwasintendedtolaughatthisstyle.Today“pointillism”isanacceptedtermwithnoderisiveconnotations(嘲弄之意)．Somepeoplestillusetheterm“divisionism”torefertopaintingssimilartopointillism,butthistermismoreexactlyusedtohighlightthetechnicalcolortheorythatisemployedinmanysuchpaintings.Inatypicalpointillistpainting，youmightseebrightcolors.Infact，thesebrightcolorsarebinedbytinydotsofyellow,redandblue.Byusingthebinationofdotsofprimarycolors,painterscancreatetheillusion(错觉)thattheyareusingmanymorecolorsthantheyare.Theviewer'seyesandbraincouldbeamazedbythiskindofillusion.Picturesinmagazinesandnewspapersareprintedinamethodsimilartopointillism.Additionally，electronicscreenslikeTVsuseasimilartechnique.Screensdisplaydotsofred,blueandgreen,andoureyesandbrainsbinethesecollectionsofdotsasdetailedcolorimages.Learningaboutpointillismisinterestingnotonlyfromtheviewofarthistory.Themastersofpointillismcreatedoutstandingmasterpiecesusingthistechnique.Childrencanlearnaboutandpracticepointillisminordertogethands－onexperiencethatcanhelpthemtounderstandcolormixingandtheprinciplesofvisionthatmakeitpossible.Becausesomanyofourmoderntechnologiesrelyonsimilarideastocreatetheimagesweseearoundus.文章大意：本文主要介绍了绘画艺术中的点描画法这种艺术风格，它主要是利用圆点做出令人惊奇的绘画效果。1．WhatcanbeknownaboutGeorgesSeuratandhispainting？__B__A．Hepainteditonaweekendafternoon.B．Hecreateditusingpointillismin1884.C．Hewasimpressedbythepark'sbeauty.D．Whathepaintedmighthappeninthemorning.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知乔治·修拉的代表作品《拉·格兰德·加特岛上的一个星期日的下午》是在1884年完成的。2．Accordingtothesecondparagraph，whichofthefollowingiswrong？__B__A．Pointillismoriginatedinthe1880s.B．Noonecouldbewillingtousetheterm“pointillism”．C．Inthebeginning“pointillism”wasnotgivenagoodmeaning.D．“Pointillism”and“divisionism”refertothesamestyleofpainting.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第四句可知pointillism一词现在已被接受了。3．Creatingapointillismpainting，thepaintersskillfullyuse__C__.A．theviewer'seyesandbrainB．amixtureofalotofcolorsC．thebinationofdotsofprimarycolorsD．thecontrastofdifferentcolorsandbrightness解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知在创作作品时，创作者巧妙地运用了三原色的结合。4．Itcanbeknownfromthepassagethatpointillism__B__.A．isoutoffashionB．contributestoprintingpicturesC．increasespeople'sinterestinartD．improvesourunderstandingofpainting解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，杂志和报纸上印刷的图片运用了与点描画法相似的方法。故可推知点描画法对印刷图片有贡献。BWhenFridaKahlo'spaintingswereonshowinLondon,apoetdescribedherpaintingsas“aribbon(丝带)aroundabomb”．SuchmentsseemtosuggestKahlohadabiginfluenceontheartworldofhertime.Sadly,sheisactuallya_much_bigger_nametodaythanshewasduringhertime.Bornin1907inavillagenearMexicoCity,Kahlosufferedfrompolio(小儿麻痹症)attheageofseven.Herspine(脊柱)becamebentasshegrewolder.Then,in1925,herbackwasbrokeninseveralplacesinaschool－busaccident.Throughouttherestofherlife,theartisthadmanyoperations,butnothingwasabletocuretheterriblepaininherback.However,theaccidenthadanunexpectedsideeffect.Whilelyinginherbedrecovering,Kahlotaughtherselftopaint.In1929,shegotmarriedtoDiegoRivera,anotherfamousMexicanartist.Rivera'sstronginfluenceonKahlo'sstylecanbeseeninherearlyworks,butherlaterworksfromthe1940s,knowntodayasherbestworks,showlessinfluencefromherhusband.Unfortunately,herworksdidnotattractmuchattentioninthe1930sand1940s,eveninherhomecountry.Herfirstone－womanshowinMexicowasnothelduntil1953.Formorethanadecadeafterherdeathin1954,Kahlo'sworksremainedlargelyunnoticedbytheworld,butinthe1970sherworksbegantogaininternationalfameatlast.5．Whatdoesthephrase“amuchbiggername”inParagraph1mostprobablymean？__D__A．afarbetterartistB．afarmoregiftedartistC．amuchstrongerpersonD．amuchmorefamousperson解析：词义推测题。由第一段内容可知弗里达·卡罗对世界艺术的影响现在比过去大。显然画线部分强调的是她的知名度，因此选D项。6．TheterriblepainKahlosufferedwascausedby__C__.A．polioB．herbentspineC．backinjuriesD．theoperationsshehad解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then，in1925，herbackwasbroken...butnothingwasabletocuretheterriblepaininherback”可知她极大的痛苦来自背部的伤。7．Kahlo'sstylehadbeeincreasinglyindependentsincethe__B__.A．1930s
