totheactualstory...Youthinkyouknowitandyoujustdon,t.（回到书中，试着

接近真实的故事……你以为你知道，其实你不知道。）”可知，该电影更接近于原著。故选

D.HowAncientArtInfluencedModernArt

【答案】4.D5.A6.B7.D

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了古代艺术如何影响现代艺术。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的AsfarbackastheRenaissance,theprimaryEuropeanart

movementsemphasizedconventionalrepresentationandadherence（遵循）toclassical

forms.Butthatbegantochangeinthelate19thcenturyasartistslikeVanGogh

andCezanneexpandedtheboundariesofpainting.可知，早在文艺复兴时期,欧洲的主

要艺术运动就强调传统的表现形式和对古典形式的坚持。但在19世纪末，随着梵高和塞尚

等艺术家扩大了绘画的范围，这种情况开始发生变化。由此可知，欧洲艺术的风格直到艺术

家扩大了绘画的范围才有了变化。故选D。

【5题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中的Andwhilethreeoftheseladiesshowfacialfeaturesfound

inancientIberianart,anodtoPicasso'sSpanishheritage,thefacesofthetwo

ontherightcloselyresembleAfricanmasks.Createdin1907afterhundredsof

sketchesandstudies,“LesDemoisellesd'Avignon”hasbeenconsideredthefirst

truly20thcenturymasterpiece,breakingwithmanypreviouslyheldnotionsinart.

可知，其中三位女士的面部特征是在古代伊比利亚艺术中发现的，这是对毕加索的西班牙遗

产的一种致敬，而右边两位女士的面部特征与非洲面具非常相似。《亚维农的少女》于1907

年创作，经过数百幅素描和研究之后，被认为是第一部真正意义上的20世纪杰作，打破了

许多之前在艺术领域持有的观念。由此可知,LesDemoisellesd,Avignon结合了不同的

文化元素。故选A。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Questionslikethisdeservescrutiny（审查），asartists

continuetoredefinestandards.Perhapsnottoolongfromnow,theboldinnovations

（单新）ofmodernartwillbeoverturnedbyanewsetofpioneersdrawinginspiration

fromanotherunlikelysource.可知，像这样的问题值得审视，因为艺术家们还在继续重

新定义标准。也许用I不了多久，现代艺术的大胆创新就会被一群从另一个不太可能的来源汲

取灵感的新先锋所颠覆。由此可知，现代艺术家的先锋作用是值得怀疑的。故选B。

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段Thetermmodernartsoundslikeitmeansartthatispopular

atthemoment,butinfact,modernartisastylethatoriginatedover150years

ago,andincludesartiststhatbynowhaveattainedclassicstatus,suchasPicasso,

Matisse,andGauguin.Andwhat'sevenmoreironic（讽刺的）isthatthemovement

theypioneered,consideredrevolutionaryatthetime,wasinspiredlargelybyan

objectofatraditionalandancientdesign.可知，"现代艺术”这个词听起来像是指

当下流行的艺术，但事实上，现代艺术是一种起源于150多年前的风格，包括现在已经获得

经典地位的艺术家，如毕加索、马蒂斯和高更。更讽刺的是，他们开创的运动，在当时被认

为是革命性的，很大程度上是受到传统和古老设计的启发。由此可知，这篇文章主耍介绍的

是“古代艺术如何影响现代艺术。”故选D。

C

【答案】8.C9.A10.D11.B

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文，讲述了科学家们通过研究发现，使人们快乐的秘诀就是让自己忙

起来，有事可做就会提升幸福感。

【8题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段中的"Thesecrettohappinessiskeepingbusy,

researchhasfound.Keepingthemindoccupiedwithtasks—nomatterhow

meaningless一keepsoffnegativeemotions,thestudyfound.”（一项研究发现，快乐

的秘诀就是让自己忙起来。研究发现，让大脑忙于各种任务，不管它们多么毫无意义，都能

抵御负面情绪。）可知，忙碌能让人快乐是因为它可以帮助摆脱不愉快的感觉。故选C项。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段中的"Hesaidthefindings,reportedinthejournal

PsychologicalScience,hadpolicyimplications.w（他说，这项发表在《心理科学》

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中的wHowever,thebadnewsisthathumansareseeminglyborn

tobelazyinordertosaveenergy,accordingtoProfessorChristoperHsee,a

behavioralscientistatChicagoUniversity."（而坏消息是,据芝加哥大学行为科学家

ChristoperHsee教授说，为了节省能量，人类似乎生来就懒惰。）可推知，忙碌有悖于与

人的天性。故选D项。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段中的"Thesecrettohappinessiskeepingbusy,

researchhasfound.Keepingthemindoccupiedwithtasks—nomatterhow

meaningless-keepsoffnegativeemotions,thestudyfound”（一项研究发现，快乐

的秘诀就是保持忙碌。该研究发现，让大脑忙于一些毫无意义的事情可以避免负面情绪）和

最后一段中的“Youdonotneedtoberunningaround.Youjustneedtobeengaged,

eitherphysicallyormentally"（你没必要到处跑。你只需要有事忙，无论是身体上还

是精神上。）可推知，作者写这篇文章是为了建议人们不要无所事事。故选B项。

【点睛】阅读理解题的解题方法，首先，宏观浏览，掌握大意。不要困扰在个别词汇的翻译

上，偶有生词，走为上计。其次，读懂题干，带着问题再去微观细读。最后，分析句子，慎

思明辨。阅读理解题之细节理解解题要注意：1.排除干扰项，突出主题。2.按文章的体裁，

作者写作的组织模式及有关信息，预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。3.将注意力放在

寻找你所需要的细节上，快速浏览，一目十行。发现细节，十目一行，放慢速度，仔细核对

比较，直到找到正确答案。

【答案】12.C13.A14.B15.D

【解析】

【分析】本文属于议论文，主要讲述了许多人认为，当你变老时，你失去学习新语言的能力。

然而，语言专家会告诉你，你永远不会因为太老而不能学习一种新的语言。文章对比了孩子

和大人学习新语言的一些不同之处，指出学新的语言在任何时候都不晚，老人和年轻人都可

以学。

【12题详解】

句意猜测题。根据第二段中Theystudyforthousandsofhourseveryyear,becausethey

needtolearnlanguagestobecomepartoftheircommunities.可知他们每年学习数千

个小时，因为他们需要学习语言才能成为他们社区的一部分。由此可推知，第2段所说的“语

言是他们的生活”，是指孩子们大量地练习一种新的语言。故选C。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中Adults,however,oftenfeelpressured（感到有压力的）to

beperfectwhenlearningnewlanguage.Thiscandiscouragemanypeopleandmakeit

evenhardertolearnanewlanguage.可知然而，成年人在学习新语言时，往往会感到要

做到完美有压力。这可能会让很多人泄气，让学习一门新语言变得更加困难。由此可知，成

年人在学习新语言时经常感到有压力，这让成年人学习一门新语言变得困难。故选A。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段Moreover,childrenlearninganewlanguageareexpectedto

makemistakes.Thisgivesthemfreedomwhenlearningtobedaringandconfident.

Adults,however,oftenfeelpressured（感到有压力的）tobeperfectwhenlearning

newlanguage.Thiscandiscouragemanypeopleandmakeitevenhardertolearna

newlanguage.可知而且，孩子在学习一门新语言的时候也会犯错误。这给了他们自由，让

他们学会勇敢和自信。然而，成年人在学习新语言时，往往会感到要做到完美有压力。这可

能会让很多人泄气，让学习一门新语言变得更加困难。由此可知，可知孩子和成年人之间学

习态度不同。故选B。

【15题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段Soifyouwanttolearnanewlanguage,goforit!It,s

nevertoolatetolearnanewlanguage.Ifyou'reolder,itmaytakemorework,

butitcanbedone.Ifyou'reayoungchild,though,nowitisthetimetostep

新语言永远不会太迟。如果你年纪大一些，可能需要做更多的工作，但这是可以做到的。不

过，如果你还是个小孩子，现在是时候走出去学一门新语言了！由此可知，作者认为学新的

语言在任何时候都不晚，老人和年轻人都可以学。故选D。
