Unit 1 Festivals around the world一、阅读理解。(2018成都市高中毕业班诊断性检测)Johannes Vermeer is such a quiet and introspective(内省的)artist that it took hundreds of years for anyone to notice he was a genius.A major Vermeer exhibition opens this month at the Louvre in Paris, whose permanent collection includes his great painting of a woman absorbed in close, visually demanding work, The Lacemaker (about 16691670). Like other paintings by Vermeer, this image represents modern culture.So attracted are todays art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans cant name who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring. Well, maybe they dont go to the movies much.It is not true to say he was forgottenthat would suggest he was famous in his lifetime. He was not. Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. He was not a star like Rembrandt. He obviously took himself and his art seriously. His selfreferential painting The Art of Painting proves that. Even though he worked all his life in Delft, he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43.It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer, because it was the French avantgarde(先锋派)in the 19th century who saved him from being pletely forgotten. pare his painting Woman in Blue Reading a Letter or The Little Street with, say, Edouard Manets A Bar at the FoliesBergre(1882)or Camille Pissarros The Boulevard Montmartre at Night (1897) and it is easy to see why the art of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian Bohemia.All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic ThorBrger, a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.Vermeers rediscovery is part of the history of modern French art. Vermeer is not only a great artist. He is a great modern artist.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了著名画家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的艺术特点。1How many paintings produced by Vermeer are mentioned in the text?AFour.BFive.CSix.

“询问”；opportunity“机会”。2A根据上文中的“meetings, events”可知，此处表示学校里的许多活动。故选A。3B根据语境可知，此处表示我们(作为级长)不得不组成一支球队参加比赛。suspect“怀疑”；form“形成，组成”；quarrel“争吵”；challenge“向挑战”。4D此处表示比赛那天我们来到足球场上。arrive at“到达，抵达”。5D根据下文中“that our _6_ and age would be enough for us to win”的提示可知，我们充满信心。curiosity“好奇心”；possibility“可能性”；pity“怜悯”；confidence“信心”。6D根据下文中的“we realized that our size and age”可知，应选D项。mask“面具”； strength“力量”；speed“速度”；size“大小，尺寸”。7D根据下文中的“we had underestimated(低估)the situation.The younger students quickly started dominating us”可知，此处与上文提到的有信心赢得比赛形成转折关系，故选D。8C根据语境可知，年轻的学生很快控制了比赛并最终取得了比赛的胜利。previously“先前”；hardly “简直不”；eventually “最终”；firstly“首先”。9A根据上文中的“The younger students quickly started dominating us, and _8_ beat us”可知，我们被淘汰(knocked out)了。10B根据上文中的“and_8_ beat us”和下文中的“we were defeated”可知，此处表示我们被击败。scold“责骂”；defeat“击败”；blame“责怪”；praise“表扬”。11C在被击败之后，我们意识到体型和年龄并不重要。rise“升起”；clarify“澄清”；matter“重要”；go“去”。12B根据语境可知，此处表示我们赛后和那些年轻的学生交流。13B赛后和那些年轻的学生交流，那是令人愉快的。anxious“焦虑的；担心的”；pleasant“令人愉快的”；upset“沮丧的”；delighted“(人感到)高兴的”。14A在踢足球的尝试失败后，我们不得不协助为最后的几场比赛担任裁判。playing soccer符合语境。15D参见上题解析。problem “问题”；deal“交易”；issue“议题”；game “比赛”。16C根据下文中的“there were no extremely difficult decisions”可知，此处表示一次不恰当的判定，即裁判做出的决定(decision)会影响比赛的结果。movement “移动”；signal “信号”；decision “决定”；suspect“嫌疑人”。17D上文提到“Refereeing was a difficult task”，下文提到“there were no extremely difficult decisions”，由此可知，上下文之间存在转折关系，再结合句意可知，Luckily符合语境。sadly“不幸地”；calmly“镇静地”；privately“私下地”；luckily“幸运地”。18A根据上文中的“After refereeing, we were all given dinner.together”可知，赛后大家坐在一起吃饭交流。19B根据上文中的“After refereeing, we were all given dinner and the student leaders and the younger kids all _18_ together”可知，作者处于这样的场景之中不由得有所思考，所以此处为“意识到”。neglect“忽略”；realize“意识到”；tolerate“忍受”；dream“梦想”。20C句意：那一刻，我意识到级长真正的职责在于使学校(所有人)都团结起来。adjust“调整”；reform“改革”；unite“使团结”；change“改变”。四、单句改错1Either you or the
