But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting，He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.Some of Picassos paintings are rich soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly, cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that？” And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knew as well as what the eyes saw. At the age of 90，he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”1In the passage the writer wants to tell us .Aabout some pictures which have different stylesBabout Picassos style of paintingCit is not easy for a painter to find his own styleDthat Picasso has not found his own particular style【解析】作者意图题。本文作者的写作意图是介绍毕加索的绘画风格，“不拘风格”正是他的绘画风格。【答案】B2The sentence “Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means Asometimes he tore his pictures into piecesBhe broke something he was painting and threw them awayCsometimes he showed some broken pictures to othersDthings in some of his pictures seem to be in disorder【解析】细节理解题。结合上下文看，该句介绍的是毕加索的绘画风格之一，句中“he seemed to .”说明“好像那样”，但并非真正撕碎。【答案】D3Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”？ABecause he observed things with his eyes and mind.BBecause he looked young when he was old.CBecause he never stopped painting even when he was old.DBecause he never gave up looking for something new.【解析】推理判断题。从文章最后两句话可知，毕加索终生追求完美，即使90岁高龄，也还像年轻人那样对世界充满着好奇，所以才被称为“the youngest painter in the world”。【答案】D4What do you suppose the writer thinks of Picassos paintings?AHe doesnt understand some of them.BHe thinks some of them are valuable, and some are not.CHe admires them，including the ugly ones.DHe doesnt like some of them, but admires the painter.【解析】推理判断题。从全文看出本文作者是毕加索的忠实崇拜者，对毕加索本人及他的作品给予了极高的评价，故选C项。【答案】CBSince my retirement from teaching music in 2002，I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died，so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father，or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case，I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes much influenced by Krenkel and St. John for five years.For some strange reasons, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon aswalked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favourite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However，watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world，and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, “At seventy I can follow my hearts desire.”5What is the text mainly about?ALearning to paint in later life.BHow to paint watercolors.CAn artisttoured teacher.DLife after retirement.【解析】主旨归纳题。文章主要讲述作者退休后开始学习绘画的故事。【答案】D6The author started drawing again in 1995 because Ahe hoped to draw a picture of his fatherBhe couldnt stop missing his fatherChe had more time after retirementDhe liked animals and landscapes【解析】推理判断题。从第一段“.perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father.”可知作者想从思念父亲中转移注意力，从而推出十分想念父亲。【答案】B7We can infer from the text that the author A. had been taught by Krenkel and St. JohnBpainted landscapes in Minnesota for five yearsCbelieved Wyeth to be the best in watercolorsDstarted his retirement life at the age of seventy【解析】推理判断题。从“.found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look .”作者发现安德鲁韦斯的画是最接近作者认为最好水彩画的标准，也就是说作者认为安德鲁韦斯的水彩画最好。【答案】C8How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?AVery enjoyable.BA bit regretful.CRather busy.DFairly dull.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful .”可知，作者对这种艺术生活的感受是一种享受。【答案】AC【导学号：06590059】When Frida Kahlos paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带) around a bomb”. Such comments(评价) seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a schoolbus accident. Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Riveras strong influence on Kahlos style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country. Her first onewoman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlos works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.9What does the underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?AA far better artist.BA far more gifted artist.CA much stronger person.DA much more famous person.【解析】推理判断题。综合全文可知，弗里达卡罗在世时，其作品并未受到人们的关注，而在其去世几十年之后，其作品才在全世界有很大的影响力。所以，她现在比其在世时更出名，享有更大的声誉。故选D项。【答案】D10The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by ApolioBher bent spineCback injuriesDthe operations she had【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“Throughout the rest of her life . but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.”可知卡罗一生遭受背部疼痛的痛苦。【答案】C11Kahlos style had become increasingly independent since the A1930sB1940sC1950sD1970s【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“. show less influence from her husband.”可知，她的早期作品受到其丈夫的很大影响，但20世纪40年代之后，其作品很少受到丈夫的影响，此时有了自己的风格。【答案】B12What is authors attitude toward Kahlo?ADevotion.BSympathy.CWorry.DEncouragement.【解析】观点态度题。根据本文的中心内容以及作者在第一段的用词Sadly和最后一段的用词Unfortunately可知，对于这位身体残疾的画家，在其去世几十年后，其作品才受到世人的关注，作者感到很遗憾，很同情她。【答案】BDTo see the world is one thing；to have someone to share it with is another.Indeed，travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner.A travel partner can be a close friend，a family member，a pal youve met online，or a business friend.You can have someone to talk toTraveling alone is fun，but wouldnt you feel lonely？Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place youre traveling to.You dont have to ask any information from the locals，and you can increase the time you spend in the country.You can have someone to share the expenses withOne of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You cant simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs，such as your food.Of course，you cant simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However，when you have a travel friend，you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friendHaving a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each others heart while traveling together in another country.You can have someone to watch out for youWhen youre in a foreign land，youll never be really safe.You dont know the rules as well as the culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why dont you find a travel companion now?Lets find out how .【语篇解读】作者介绍了旅伴带来的好处。13Whats the authors purpose in writing this passage?ATo introduce a travel company.BTo encourage us to have a travel partner.CTo explain how to be a perfect travel partner.DTo tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.【解析】作者意图题。本文介绍了旅伴带来的好处，鼓励大家找旅伴。【答案】B14Which of the following statements agrees with the authors opinion?ATraveling alone is not fun.BBuying souvenirs isnt necessary.CMany people fall in love when traveling.DIts better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.【解析】细节理解题。根据“You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each others heart while traveling”可知答案。【答案】C15The following paragraph will probably talk about Ahow to get along with a travel partnerBhow travel can benefit peopleCwhat we can learn from travelDhow to find a travel partner【解析】推理判断题。根据“So why dont you find a travel companion now？Lets find out how.”可知接下来要讲如何找旅伴。【答案】D.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Learning a Second LanguageSome people learn a second language easily. 16 How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English?
