III.1.liberation考查名詞。句意:解放前，許多人不會識字，也不會寫字。此處Before為介詞，

后接名詞作賓語。故填liberation。

2.worthy考查形容詞。句意:作曲家直到寫出一部歌劇來才被認為名副其實。根據(jù)介詞of可知,

應用形容詞worthy構成固定搭配。故填worthyo

3.opposed考查形容詞。句意:那位反對執(zhí)行該計劃的教授對報告作了評論。分析句子結構可知,

此處應用形容詞化了的過去分詞作定語。故填。pposed。

4.employment考查名詞。句意:畢業(yè)生感到找工作越來越難。動詞find后接名詞作賓語。故填

employmento

IV.1.Seenfromthetop2.Itwasbecauseof3.itiseasyto

V.l.pleased考查形容詞。系動詞was后接形容詞作表語,且主語I指人，所以應用形容詞

pleasedobepleasedtodosth.表示“樂于做某事”，故填pleased。

2.featuring考查非謂語動詞。feature表示"以..為特色"，與theMused'Orsay之間為主

動關系，故此處應用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。故填featuringo

3.impression考查名詞。形容詞最高級deepest后接名詞。故填impression。

4.painters考查名詞復數(shù)。根據(jù)twoof可知，這里用名詞復數(shù)。故填painters。

5.greatly考查副詞。此處用副詞作狀語修飾謂語動詞。故填greatly。

6.which考查定語從句。由前面的逗號以及oneof可知,這里為非限制性定語從句，修飾前面的

scenes,故填whicho

7.However考查副詞。根據(jù)上下文可知，這里敘述的是兩位畫家不同的繪畫風格，且空格后有逗

號，因此however“然而”符合語境。故填However。

8.a考查冠詞。此處表示泛指,busy以輔音音素開頭,所以應用不定冠詞a。故填ao

9.also考查固定結構。分析可知此處為notonly...butalso...結構，故填also。

10.encouraging考查非謂語動詞。前文已有謂語動詞influenced,所以此處應用非謂語動詞，

I.A

◎語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了著名畫家凡?高的繪畫作品《向日葵》的創(chuàng)作背景。

1.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的hebeganpaintingsunflowerstobrightenupthe

whitewashedwallsoftheyellowhousehewaslivingin可知，他畫向日葵的目的是為他居

住的黃色房屋內的被粉刷成白色的墻壁增添色彩。因此凡?高1888年畫向日葵是為了裝飾他的

房子，故選C。A項“把它們送給高更”；B項“謀生”；D項“向他人展示他的藝術天賦”。

2.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的GauguinacceptedVanGogh'sinvitation...VanGogh

paintedthelasttwoofthefouroriginalSunflowersforthemodestbedroomwherehis

guestwouldsleepfollowinghisarrivalthatautumn.可知，高更接受了凡?高的邀請...

凡?高為那間簡樸的臥室畫了他最早的四幅《向日葵》畫作的最后兩幅，在那個秋天，他的客人到

達后就可以睡在那間臥室里。句中hisguest指代高更，由此可知，凡?高把最后兩幅《向日葵》

畫作放在了高更的臥室里,故選B。

3.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段可知,據(jù)馬丁?蓋福德說,高更對《向日葵》畫作感到非常驚訝,他

一再贊美并索要它們作為禮物，故選D。A項“很差勁”；B項“一般”；C項“很擔心”。

4.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段可知,凡?高立刻意識到自己創(chuàng)造出了有價值的東西，出自他手的

向日葵是如此與眾不同。正如他在1889年1月對西奧說的，盡管其他藝術家以畫其他花卉而聞名，

但向日葵是他的。這解釋了為什么凡?高的《向日葵》在今天如此受歡迎。由此可見，凡?高對

自己的作品很有自信,意識到《向日葵》會讓他聞名遐邇。故選D。由第四段最后一句可知，凡?高

在信中說他作畫的速度很快,畫大向日葵也得心應手,故排除A項（凡?高不擅長畫大向日葵）；由

第四段中的HepaintedtheSunflowersquicklyandwithgreatenergyandconfidence.可

知，凡?高畫《向日葵》時很快，精力充沛且相當自信,故排除B項（凡?高畫《向日葵》時遇到了

很多困難）；由第四段中的Ithinkhepaintedthemforthejoyofit可知，詹森認為凡?高

畫這些向日葵是為了從中獲得樂趣，因此凡?高當時是喜歡自己的畫作的，故排除C項（凡?高當

時一點也不喜歡他的《向日葵》）。

長難句分析

原句AfterhehadinvitedtheFrenchartistPaulGauguin,whomheadmired,tojoin

hisStudiooftheSouth,hebeganpaintingsunflowerstobrightenupthewhitewashed

wallsoftheyellowhousehewaslivingin,notfarfromthetown'sraiIwaystation.

分析本句是主從復合句。After引導時間狀語從句，其中whomheadmired是一個定語從句，

修飾先行詞theFrenchartistPaulGauguin;主句中hewaslivingin是'—個省略了引導詞

that或which的定語從句，修飾先行詞house。

句意在他邀請自己崇拜的法國藝術家保羅?高更加入自己的南方畫室之后,他開始畫向日

葵，為他居住的離小鎮(zhèn)的火車站不遠的黃色房屋內的被粉刷成白色的墻壁增添色彩。

B

◎語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了約翰內斯?維米爾創(chuàng)作的名畫《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的

少女》背后的故事。

5.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的Evenduringhislifetime,Vermeer'sinfluencewas

mainlylimitedtoDelftwhereheearnedareasonablelivingasapainterandartdealer.（即

使在他一生中,維米爾的影響力主要局限于代爾夫特,在那里他以畫家兼藝術品經銷商的身份過

著還算體面的生活。）可知,在維米爾活著的時候，他在他的城市之外并不知名。故選D。A項“他

過著非常艱苦的生活”錯誤;B項“他不是一個有天賦的藝術家”可由第二段中的Vermeerwas

amongthemostsuccessfulartists排除;C項文中沒有提到。

6.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段第二、三句可知，由于他畫中的模特戴著頭巾，許多藝術歷史

學家認為維米爾的畫不應該被視為肖像畫。相反，大多數(shù)學者贊成《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的少女》屬于一

種叫Tronie的畫。因此,少女不尋常的著裝使一些學者認為《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的少女》是一種Tronie

作品。故選B。A項“這個女孩特殊的表情”；C項“模特不清晰的手勢”；D項“模特的背景畫”。

7.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的WhileitisimpossibletoidentifyVermeer'smodel,

duetoacompletelackofevidence可知，由于完全缺乏證據(jù)，無法確定維米爾的模特的身份。

由此可知，這幅畫的模特的身份很神秘。故選A。由最后一段首句可知，這幅畫曾被稱為《戴頭巾

的女孩》或《年輕女孩》，直到不到一個世紀前才有了現(xiàn)在的名字《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的少女》，因此目

前沒有爭議,故排除B項“這幅畫的名字仍然有爭議”；C項“這幅畫在一個世紀前被嚴重損壞”

與文中描述不符;D項“這幅畫的靈感來自這個畫家的一個女兒”只是文中的推測，并未證實，故

排除。

8.C主旨大意題。文章主要講述了維米爾的著名畫作《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的少女》背后的故事,包括作

者的情況、該畫作的類型和特點、畫作中模特的神秘身份等。因此這篇文章的最佳標題就是“《戴

珍珠耳環(huán)的少女》背后的故事”。故選c。A項“約翰內斯?維米爾的人生經歷”、B項“《戴珍

珠耳環(huán)的少女》的模特”和D項“約翰內斯?維米爾的畫的特點”都是文章內容的一部分。

長難句分析

原句ItisinterestingtonotethatthepaintingwasknownasGirlwithTurbanor

simplyYoungGirlformostofitsexistenceandonlyreceiveditscurrentnameless

thanacenturyago.

分析本句是主從復合句,句首的It為形式主語,真正的主語是后面的不定式短語tonote...,

note后為that引導的賓語從句。

句意有趣的是，要特別提到這幅畫在它存在的大部分時間內都被稱為《戴頭巾的女孩》或只

是《年輕女孩》，僅僅不到一個世紀前才有了現(xiàn)在的名字。

H.◎語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。列奧納多?達?芬奇將藝術和科學聯(lián)系起來進行創(chuàng)作。

1.B由設空處前兩句可知,在現(xiàn)代世界,藝術和科學是兩個截然不同的活動，但在列奧納多的時

代,它們是緊密相連的?？茖W意味著數(shù)學和醫(yī)學研究。由設空處后兩句可知，數(shù)學包括測量土地以

繪制地圖、測量天空中星星的運動等實踐任務。藝術家可能需要測量身體的不同部位。由此看來,B

項（那這些是如何與藝術聯(lián)系起來的呢?）可以合理銜接上下文。故選B。

2.G空前指出，他還可以使用數(shù)學方法在素描畫或油畫中把東西合理放置,安排多者之間的關

系。從該句中可以提取兩點信息：一是inadrawingorpainting;二是placethings?G項（你

會在畫作《最后的晚餐》里看到這種放置的絕佳范例）符合語境，故選G。

3.F由本段首句可知,本段敘述的是數(shù)學與音樂的關系。由空后句中的Morethanthat可知，空

后句與設空處構成邏輯上的遞進關系,設空處應體現(xiàn)列奧納多與音樂的關系，因此F項（列奧納多

本身就是一位非常優(yōu)秀的音樂家,喜歡演奏樂器和唱歌）與此意切合。故選F。

4.E從空前的敘述可知,實踐經驗對他來說比觀點更重要，由空后兩句可知他的目的是考察這個

世界，以便能夠把它復制在自己美麗的繪畫和雕塑中;他也想從大自然巧妙解決問題的方法中學

習。由Hispurposewas...和Healsowantedto...可見E項（最重要的是，列奧納多想要理解

事物是如何運作的,又為什么會這么運作）切合題意,故選E。

5.A由空后兩句可知，他的快速小素描通常是在外面閑逛時完成的,幫助他捕捉一個動作或一個

形狀。他會在桌子上用鋼筆和尺子畫出更細致的素描畫。設空處在本段的開頭，有總起本段的作

用，而后文所說的事情都與畫畫有關,故A項（列奧納多一直在作畫）符合文意。
