參考答案Ⅰ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章介紹了已逝畫家宋步云的作品在中央美術(shù)學(xué)院博物館里展出的情況。1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“CulturallandmarksfrozenintimearedisplayedinSong’sBeijinglandscapeseries,picturingthepeacefulatmosphereofthecity’shistoricalspotsoverthecourseofayear,suchasTiantan.”可知,他的作品集中于北京的文化地標(biāo)。2.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“Dyingin1992,Songdidn’thaveachancetoshowthisbodyofworkduringhislifetime.Itwaseightyearslaterthatthesepaintingsweremadepublicforthefirsttimeatanexhibitionheldinhismemory.(逝世于1992年,宋沒有機(jī)會在他的有生之年里展出他的作品。8年后這些繪畫作品才在一個(gè)為了紀(jì)念他而舉辦的畫展中首次公開)”可知,在2000年公眾才首次看到他的作品。3.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“CombiningskillsofChineseandWesternart,...Songinjectedrichemotions,allowinghisworktostandthetestoftime.”可知,宋的作品能歷經(jīng)時(shí)間考驗(yàn)是因?yàn)樗髌分械乃囆g(shù)技巧和注入的情感。4.A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了已逝畫家宋步云的作品正在中央美術(shù)學(xué)院博物館里展出,對他的記錄老北京歷史景觀的作品做了簡單介紹,尤其是他的中西方結(jié)合的繪畫技巧與他融入畫中的情感,使他的作品能歷經(jīng)時(shí)間的考驗(yàn),因此,A項(xiàng)“Frozenintime:anoldBeijinginSongBuyun’sexhibition”為本文的最佳標(biāo)題?！菊Z篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章主要講述了第二次世界大戰(zhàn)大屠殺幸存者M(jìn)iriam的求學(xué)故事。戰(zhàn)爭的爆發(fā)使她失去了上學(xué)的機(jī)會,戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期的苦難沒有打倒她,她一直堅(jiān)持自學(xué)、讀書,她的故事感動了新英格蘭猶太學(xué)院和學(xué)生,授予了她榮譽(yù)文憑,幫她完成了夙愿。5.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“‘Iwaslookingforwardtostartingschool.’Shenevermadeit.Andnothavingadegreehasalwaysbeenathorninherside.”可知,她一直期待去上學(xué),但卻因?yàn)閼?zhàn)爭沒能上學(xué),這是令她感到遺憾的。6.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的“RichardNabel,theprincipaloftheschool,broughtafewseniorstudentstoMiriam’shometohearherstorybeforetheycameupwiththeideaofpresentingheranhonorarydiplomaattheschool’s2020graduationceremony.”可知,校長了解了Miriam的故事后,決定給予她榮譽(yù)文憑,幫助她完成夢想。7.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段的“butshelearnedsevenlanguagesovertheyears.‘Ieducatedmyself,’shesays.‘Ireadbooksdayandnight.Istilldo.’”可知,她雖然不能接受正規(guī)教育,但仍然堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)、讀書。由此推測,她是一個(gè)有決心的人。8.B句意理解題。根據(jù)下文的“Miriam’sfamilywasespeciallymoved.”可知,她能夠得到文憑是令人感動的。因此猜測,“Thereweren’ttoomanydryeyes”的意思是“很多人都很感動”,故選B項(xiàng)。Ⅱ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇記敘文。作者懷念一位去世多年的老師,從這位老師身上學(xué)到的求知精神影響了作者很多年。1.B根據(jù)上文“Ihaveputthisletteroffforfartoolong.Iknowyoupassedawaymanyyearsago”可知,這是作者寫給已故老師的信,此處指讀到(reading)這封信的其他人。2.A根據(jù)下文“it’stoolateforhimorher”可知,其他人可以在為時(shí)未晚時(shí),做得更好。3.D根據(jù)“youawakenedainmetolearnabouteverythinginmyworld—notjustthethingsinsciencebuteverything,everywhere.”可推斷,作者想讓老師知道他對自己的生活有多大的影響。makeadifference有影響。

4.C根據(jù)“mescienceatPattersonHighSchool”可知,此處是當(dāng)老師教(taught)作者科學(xué)的時(shí)候。5.Dkindness善良;patience耐心;judgment判斷;curiosity好奇心。根據(jù)“tolearnabouteverythinginmyworld—notjustthethingsinsciencebuteverything,everywhere.”可知,此處表示喚醒了作者求知的好奇心。6.A根據(jù)“questionwasandstillis”可知,這個(gè)問題過去和現(xiàn)在沒變(constant)。7.B作者不斷地問問題有時(shí)候讓他父親發(fā)狂。drivesbmad“使某人發(fā)狂”。8.C根據(jù)下文“whenhewasdoingsomehouseworkorcarrepair”可知,這里表達(dá)遞進(jìn)關(guān)系,作者知道自己連續(xù)不斷的問題有時(shí)候會讓父親發(fā)狂,尤其是(especially)當(dāng)爸爸在做家務(wù)或修車的時(shí)候。9.D上文提到作者連續(xù)不斷的問題有時(shí)候會讓父親發(fā)狂。由此推測,這里表示爸爸厭倦了回答作者的問題。10.A根據(jù)上文“tolearnabouteverythinginmyworld”可知,作者在老師課上學(xué)到了東西,但現(xiàn)在能記得的(remember)不多。11.B根據(jù)上文“toidentifythedi
