B．Dressherupas.C．Makeherbee. D．Turninto.解析：選A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)前文的“teacheshertospeakaseducatedpeopledo”以及下文的“Inthecourseofallhisexperimentsandexhibitions”可知該短語的意思是“把某人冒充或假裝為”。2．WhatkindofpersondoyouthinkHigginsisaccordingtothesecondparagraph?A．Heisakindman. B．Heisaconsiderateman.C．Heisaselfishman. D．Heisarudeman.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第三句可知希金斯只考慮自己的成敗得失，從不考慮伊莉莎的感受，顯然他是一個自私的人。3．WhydoesnotElizamarryHiggins?Because________.A．shedoesnotlovehimB．hismotherdoesnotlikeanygirltobeherrivalC．helikestobeabachelorD．hedoesn'tloveanygirlforfearofthembeinghismother'srivals解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第三句可知伊莉莎不會嫁給希金斯，因為希金斯擔(dān)心未來的妻子會成為他母親的對手，所以他不敢愛上任何一個女孩。4．WhichofthefollowingstatementisTRUE?A．ShawwasinfactaGreeksculptor.B．HigginswasexperimentingwithEliza.C．Elizawantedtobeeaneducatedladyverymuch.D．HigginsfellinlovewithElizaatfirstsight.解析：選B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知希金斯只是把伊莉莎當(dāng)成一個試驗品。故B正確。五、閱讀七選五Doyouwishtoonedaybeeagreatartist?Ormaybeyou'relookingforacareerinartandneedtoimproveyourskills.__1__，herearesomeideastohelpyouimproveyourartskills.·OneofthemostimportantthingsinartispracticingYou'veprobablyhearditmanytimesalready—practicemakesperfect.__2__.·TakeafewmomentseachdaytostudyyoursurroundingsLookatthefaceofthepersonyou'retalkingto.Noticehowthelightaffectswherealltheshadowsgoandtheshapeofhisfeature.__3__.Thesethingswillhelpyougainabetterunderstandingofhowrealobjectswork,areshapedandwilleinhandywhenyou'redrawing.·LearnhowtoobtainthecorrectcolorsandtheirpropertiesaccuratelyThecolorconceptsareverydifferentthanthatingradeschoolbasicart.Thebasicwhiteandblacktogetshadesandtoneshasatendencytochangethehue(色調(diào))andmakeitdullandfalse.__4__.·Lookatotherartists'worksPayattentiontotheirstylesofdrawing,soyoucanexpandyourviewpoint.Andifyouwant,trycopyingtheirstylesforadaytogetagoodideaonit.Alsotaketripstomuseumsandartexhibitstogaininspiration.·__5__Whetheritisapictureinamagazineorabowloffruityousetuponyourcounter,it'sagoodpracticeandit'llhelpyouimprovealot.A．WhateverthecasemaybeB．HoweverfaryouhavereachedC．TryusingamodelwhenyoudrawD．TryobservingthecolorandlightinanotherperspectivewhenyoulearnE．BlueandyellowdependingonmanyfactorswillbebrownandnotalwaysgreenF．Observecolorsandshadowsaroundyou,andtakealookattexturesorhowclothingwrinklesG．Althoughyoucan'treach“perfect”inart,practicingdrawingeverydaywillhelpyouimprovealot語篇解讀：你希望有朝一日成為藝術(shù)家嗎？如果你在尋找與藝術(shù)有關(guān)的工作，而且需要提高技能的話，本文提出的五點建議會對你有所幫助。1．選A上文的兩句提到了兩種情況。無論是何種情況，本文中的建議能幫助提高藝術(shù)技能。A項所在句在此處承上啟下。2．選G由上文可知，可能你已經(jīng)聽過很多次“熟能生巧”。G項“盡管你達不到藝術(shù)上的‘完美’，但是每天練習(xí)繪畫會幫助你提高許多”承接上文，符合語境。3．選F上句提到要留意光線如何影響陰影的位置和他的外形。F項與上句共同解釋本段主旨“每天花上一些時間研究你周圍的事物”。4．選E上句提到，基礎(chǔ)白色和黑色具有改變色調(diào)的傾向，并使之沉悶和虛假。E項“在許多因素影響之下，藍色和黃色在一起會變成褐色，并不總是綠色”承接上句，說明確實如本段首句所說，會有不同。5．選C空格下一段提到，無論是雜志上的一幅畫還是操作臺上的一碗水果都可以作為很好的練習(xí)對象，可以幫助你提高很多。C項“繪畫時嘗試使用模特”概括了本段主題，適合作主旨句。六、短文改錯DearTom,I'mLiHua,astudentofRongguangMiddleSchool.IlearnedquitebychancewhatyouneededabooktoimproveyourChinese.Ihappentohaveit,whichIthinkmighthelpyou.Thebook,entitleNewPracticalChinese,isintendedforbeginnersatyourlevel.Notonlyitincludethebasicconversationsinourdailylife,butitisalsothewindowthroughwhichyoucangettoknowChinesecultureandcustoms.Editedbythreelanguageexperts,itiswideusedbymanyforeignlearner.Ifitisconvenientforyou,let'smeetattheentrance
