Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.1What do we know about Schults sculptures?AThey served as garbage containers.BThey reflected environmental issues.CThey were first shown in Paris，France.DThey were to raise economic awareness.2HA Schults artistic works also get the message across that an artist must _.Abe socially responsibleBbe as modest as possibleCmake garbage recyclableDtake diverse artistic forms3According to the last 2 paragraphs，the author probably agrees that _.Ait takes talent to be a trash artistBpreset ideas are important to artistsCtrash art cant be seen as a real art formDaverage people can also make trash artists4Which of the following is the best title for the text?ACould You Be a Trash Artist?BWhat Are Social Sculptures?CDo You Know about Trash Art?DHow Can We Deal with Used Cans?【解题导语】本文主要讲述了一位德国艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事，并以此鼓励读者行动起来，为环保出一份力。【难句分析】All that counts is the time in which we are living.分析：本句是一个复合句。that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词All；in whichwhere，引导定语从句，在从句中作状语，修饰先行词the time。译文：重要的是我们所生活的时代。1B考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage”可知，Schult的作品反映了环境问题，故选B。A项错在Schult的作品是用来当垃圾桶的，这一信息文章并未提及；C项错在Schult的作品首次是在法国巴黎展出，这与第一段最后一句“He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North RhineWestphalia”不符；D项错在Schult的作品是为了提高人们的经济意识，这与其环保思想相悖，故排除。2A考查推理判断。根据第三段最后一句“All that counts is the time in which we are living”和第二段的整体内容可推知，Schult的作品同样传递了这样一个思想，即艺术家除了自己的艺术追求之外，也应该有社会责任感，故选A。3D考查推理判断。根据最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try”可推知，作者认为普通人也可以利用周围的废物或者垃圾而成为一位艺术家，故选D。4A考查标题判断。文章最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try”点题，再结合全文内容可推知，本文主要通过讲述一位艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事，激励人们行动起来，为环保作贡献，人人都可以成为一位艺术家，故A项最适合做文章标题。.完形填空(2016山西考前质检)The worst problem with our current economic crisis is the strong

of high rank.”可知,在古代亚洲,马球运动局限于上层阶级。2.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The origins of the sport appear to lie in Persia.”可知答案。3.A段落大意题。第三段介绍了马球运动的参赛人数、比赛用具、时间等,因此本段主要介绍了马球运动的比赛规则。4.D词义猜测题。根据本句中的“.ponies are small horses,but they are full-sized horses.”可知,马球运动中使用的马都是正常大小的马,因此用“小马”称呼它们显然是“不合适的”。B.【解题导语】本文为记叙文。作者通过将经济危机的事实告诉孩子们,从而让他们懂得拥有一个幸福的家庭意味着什么。1.C担忧影响着我们的孩子、婚姻、家庭(families)和我们的安全感。families与孩子、婚姻属于语义上并列关系,故选C项。2.B当我们没有足够的钱时,我们要告诉孩子并向他们解释(explain)必须用爸爸的薪水支付哪些账单。故选B项。3.D因为经济危机,作者家庭生活困难,她让孩子们知道现在他们很难(hard)得到他们想要的东西。故选D项。4.B根据下文中的“They 5 ask what bills we have to pay.”和learning from their reaction可知,孩子们的表现让作者感到惊讶。故选B项。5.A孩子们甚至会问作者一周必须要支付什么账单。故选A项。6.C根据语境可知,此处指作者预计(expected)孩子们会表现得很担忧。故选C项。7.D根据空后的we are learning from their reaction可知,此处表示转折。句意:然而,我们却从他们的反应里学到了一些东西。故选D项。8.A根据上一句可知,有时孩子会教给父母一些东西。故选A项。9.C根据上文中的we do not have enough money可知,此处指足够的钱。故选C项。10.A作者拿出零钱数一数看能不能买一些粟米片。故选A项。11.D以前孩子们把快餐认为是理所当然的,现在却觉得很特别。故选D项。12.B他们会制作愿望清单并且把生日和圣诞节的钱积攒起来买玩具。故选B项。13.C我们会做各种各样的事情来享受(enjoying)我们的夜晚。故选C项。14.B根据语境可知,我们很高兴看到我们的孩子是天生的手艺人而且他们的想象力是无限的(endless)。故选B项。15.A根据下文内容可知,孩子们有无限的想象力,家里的箱子很受他们的欢迎,这些箱子可以被做成各种各样的东西。hit“很受欢迎的人(或事物)”。故选A项。16.D根据but的转折及空前的“We live paycheck to paycheck.”可知,此处表示但是我们克服了困难。put away意为“把收起来”,get into意为“进入”,e across意为“偶然遇到”,get over意为“克服(困难)”。故选D项。17.D我们的孩子可能没有上大学的基金,但是他们肯定会懂得努力工作是什么,并且会得到他们想要的东西。故选D项。18.B分析句子成分可知,understand后跟宾语从句,且从句中的means缺少宾语,故选B项。19.A句意:毕竟在每天结束的时候,他们知道他们被家人爱着,并且这不要任何代价。故选A项。20.C参照第19题解析。.短文改错Dear
