For those of us involved in the art world, there are times when we're constantly visiting gallery(画廊) after gallery, taking in as much as possible and getting to know the works of artists from far and wide. But there are some artists whose works consistently stand out. Some artists' works stay in the thought and heart of an audience long after the show is over. I've noticed over the years that these are often the artists who have understood fully the skill of telling the story behind their art. These artists aren't just selling paintings—they're selling an experience.‎ Roxanna Kibsey is one of these artists. Her paintings are often exact description of frozen tundra(冻原) or autumn trees—so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas. When I met her at an exhibition she couldn't wait to tell me about the place in her paintings. “Where I grew up we had nine months of winter every year. It's really quite a tough place，” she said. She relived a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her painting. The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snow－covered countryside during my own first winter in Canada. I could almost hear the crunching ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.‎ Businessmen may have their elevator_pitch,_but artists, too, need their 30－second story which rolls freely off the tongue. That's why it's so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can conjure up(唤起) a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.‎ 语篇解读：作者通过自己跟一位画家的接触以及对她作品的描述来告诉我们什么样的画家才会打动我们，感染我们。‎ ‎1．What kind of artists does the author like?‎ A．Those who have great skills.‎ B. Those who have held many exhibitions.‎ C．Those who paint scenes of their own home towns.‎ D．Those who tell their experience through their paintings.‎ 23‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。由第一段的“These artists aren't just selling paintings—they're selling an experience.”可知，作者认为能够打动观众、给观众以深刻印象的是那些能够通过自己的画作描述自己的经历的画家。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎2．Through Roxanna Kibsey's painting, the author ________.‎ A．had a beautiful imagination B．thought of a serious question C．brought back his own memory D．thought of his own hometown ‎[解析]　细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知，作者看着Roxanna Kibsey的画作，听着她的讲述，不禁联想到自己第一次在加拿大过冬时的情景。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎3．What does the underlined part “elevator pitch” probably refer to?‎ A．A sales introduction. B．A wise choice.‎ C．A small mistake. D．A modern tool.‎ ‎[解析]　词义猜测题。分析最后一段，商人的“elevator pitch”就等同于画家的“30second story”，是一种“产品推介”，用来吸引买家。‎ ‎[答案]　A B For more than a century it was thought that a beautiful face was appealing because it was a collection of average features. Using his computer system, Dr. David Perrett of the University of St Andrews has challenged the theory. In a key experiment, photographs of women were ranked for their attractiveness by a number of volunteers. Two composite (混合的) pictures were then created: one, the average of all the pictures, the other made from those rated most attractive. Although the faces looked very similar at first sight, most people said they preferred the composite of most attractive faces.‎ ‎“The conclusion I reached，” said Dr. Perrett, “was that the most attractive face was not average. If you look at famous film stars and supermodels, most of them have ideal (理想的) features—larger than normal eyes, highter arched eyebrows, slightly smaller noses, and higher cheekbones (颧骨). Even popular cartoon characters such as Betty Boop, Yasmin from Aladdin and Bambi have big eyes, small turned－up noses, big mouths and small chins. And if these features are exaggerated, the attractiveness rating goes up even more. Julia Robers is a good example of this.”‎ 23‎ But what do scientists make of men's faces? Do men with large eyes, high cheekbones and a small chin have the same appeal? Researchers were a bit shocked at the topranking male face. They expected it to have the classic square jaw and strong cheekbones, but instead, women seem to prefer men with gentle faces.‎ Dr. Perrett puts forward a reason to explain why so many women now go for baby－faced stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Jude Law. Women like a man with a feminine (女性化的) face because he is more likely to make a kinder and more trustworthy husband and father.‎ But do these ideals of beauty manage to cross cultural boundaries? Are the same features considered to be attractive all over the world? A worldwide study carried out by Professor Cunningham of the University of Louisville, Kentucky concluded that there were only very subtle differences between different cultures. In other words, although there might be a little truth in the old saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, by and large, we all seem to be attracted to the same things.‎ 语篇解读：本文是议论文。文章探讨了人们如何判断美。‎ ‎4．Dr. Perrett reached his conclusion mainly by ________.‎ A．telling true stories B．making comparisons C．setting down general rules D．following the order of importance ‎[解析]　写作手法题。由第一段Dr. Perrett所做的实验“one, the average of all the pictures, the other made from those rated most attractive... most people said they preferred the composite of most attractive faces”和第二段他的结论“the most attractive face was not average”可知，Dr. Perrett通过实验对比得出其结论。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎5．According to Dr. Perrett's theory, Julia Roberts in considered very ________.‎ A．appealing B．intelligent C．successful D．trustworthy ‎[解析]　细节理解题。由第二段Dr. Perrett总结明星和超模的长相特点可知，朱莉娅·罗伯茨非常有魅力。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎6．Which of the following features of men is most attractive to women?‎ A．Large eyes. B．Baby faces.‎ 23‎ C．Big mouths. D．High cheekbones.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。由第三段的“women seem to prefer men with gentle faces”和第四段的“many women now go for baby－faced stars”可知答案。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎7．According to the author, people from different cultures ________.‎ A．seem to pay little attention to their differences B．have completely different views about beauty C．have managed to cross cultural boundaries D．seem to have the similar standard of beauty ‎[解析]　推理判断题。由最后一段Professor Cunningham的结论可知，不同文化之间对美的看法仅仅只是细微的差别，再由作者全文介绍Dr. Perrett的最新理论以及最后一段他说的“by and large, we all seem to be attracted to the same things”可知，作者认为总体上人们有着相似的审美标准。‎ ‎[答案]　D C ‎(2018·山东青岛二中月考)I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.‎ This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time. She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”．‎ Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas Day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that the happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy. I hated the idea of her being alone during the holiday!‎ On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.‎ Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were.

Brought up in a religious and cultured atmosphere, Van Gogh was highly emotional and lacked self－confidence. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, Van Gogh had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore and an art salesman. He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty. One of his famous paintings is ThePotatoEaters (1885)．‎ In 1886, he went to Paris to join his brother Théo. In Paris, Van Gogh studied with Cormon, later met Pissarro, Monet, and Gauguin, and began to lighten his very dark palette(调色板). His nervous temperament made him a difficult companion and night－long discussions combined with painting all day undermined his health. He decided to go south to Arles where he hoped his friends would join him and help found a school of art. Gauguin did join him but with bad results. Near the end of 1888, an incident led Gauguin to finally leave Arles. Van Gogh ran after him with an open razor, was stopped by Gauguin, but ended up cutting a part of his own ear off. Van Gogh then was sent to a mental (精神的) hospital for treatment.‎ In May of 1890, he seemed much better and went to live in Auvers－sur－Oise under the watchful eye of Dr. Cachet. Two months later he was dead, having shot himself “for the good of all”. During his brief career he had sold one painting. Van Gogh's finest works were produced in less than three years. His great fusion(融合) of form and content is powerful, dramatic and emotional, for the artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain either his struggle against madness or his comprehension of the spiritual essence(精华) of man and nature.‎ 语篇解读：本文简要介绍著名艺术家梵高的生平及其作品特点。‎ ‎12．Before Van Gogh started to learn art, ________.‎ A．he couldn't do his work well B．he was confident about himself C．he did a good job in a bookstore D．he was one of the successful artists ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知，在Van Gogh决定成为画家之前，他的工作并不成功，也就是没能把自己的工作做好。‎ 23‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎13．The underlined word “undermined” in Paragraph 2 means “________”．‎ A．harmed B．improved C．challenged D．punished ‎[解析]　词义猜测题。彻夜长谈及整日画画对健康不利，画线词意为“损害”，harm与其意思接近。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎14．Gauguin finally decided to leave Van Gogh probably because ________.‎ A．Van Gogh didn't like Gauguin at all B．something was wrong with Van Gogh C．Gauguin cut off one of Van Gogh's ears D．Gauguin hated to be a teacher at the school ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据第二段最后三句可推知，Van Gogh精神上出现了问题，他想伤害Gauguin，所以Gauguin选择了离开。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎15．What can we learn from Van Gogh's works?‎ A．His pride and kindness.‎ B．His cruelty and failure.‎ C．His honesty and strength.‎ D．His struggle and viewpoints.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据文章最后一句可知，Van Gogh在他的作品中展现了他与精神错乱的抗争及他对人与自然的精神实质的理解，故D项正确。‎ ‎[答案]　D Ⅱ.七选五阅读填空 ‎(2018·河北七校联考)‎ What is happiness?‎ What is happiness?
