In the past three years since the painting campaign was started, many trees in that area which normally were the targets for local villagers have survived the axes(斧子)．‎ The tree art, in the style of the worldfamous Madhubani painting, has now made the entire area so beautiful that passersby can’t resist taking photos. Madhubani painting, also known as Mithila painting, is a style of Indian painting practised in the northeastern region of Bihar which is done with fingers, brushes and even matchsticks using natural colors and is characterised by eyecatching patterns. There are paintings for various occasions and festivals—such as births, marriages—and also about Hindu tales.‎ ‎“Normally, the Hindus almost stopped cutting trees down once we painted the tree trunks with different pictures of deities，” Siya Devi, one of the artists associated with the tree painting campaign, says.“Previously, the sight of people cutting roadside trees was quite common. Now it gives us much satisfaction to see the crowds of tourists paying visits to this particular area to see the painted trees and take photos.”‎ The idea is the brainchild of a local villager Shashthi Nath Jha who has been working for Gram Vikas Parishad, a nongovernmental organization, which helps to protect the rights of women and child labor.‎ ‎“The sight of people cutting down trees with axes and saws always gave me a lot of pain. I tried to convince them this wasn’t good for environment but they never took it seriously. So I finally thought of the plan to paint scenes from Hindu classics or pictures of Gods on the tree bark thinking it can work significantly, and yes, it has begun working now，” claims Jha.‎ ‎【解题导语】　该文主要讲述了印度马杜巴尼地区的艺术家在树木和叶子上画画，从而拯救了树木的故事。‎ ‎1．What can we know about the tree art?‎ A．It makes no use of artificial colors.‎ B．It cannot be done without brushes.‎ C．It is a style popular throughout India.‎ D．It focuses on traditional Indian festivals.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的关键信息“using natural colors”可知，这种艺术采用天然色素而非人工颜料来绘画，故选A。‎ ‎2．According to the text, Shashthi Nath Jha ．‎ A．works in the government B．is the creator of the campaign C．is strongly against child labor D．is the designer of a local village B　解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The idea is the brainchild of a local villager Shashthi Nath Jha who has been working for Gram Vikas Parishad, a nongovernmental organization, which helps to protect the rights of women and child labor.”可知，Shashthi Nath Jha是这项运动的发起人，故选B。‎ ‎3．What can be inferred about the plan from Jha’s words?‎ A．It has freed him from pain.‎ B．It came quite easily to him.‎ C．It is as effective as expected.‎ D．It hasn’t been taken seriously.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So I finally thought of the plan to paint scenes from Hindu classics or pictures of Gods on the tree bark thinking it can work significantly, and yes, it has begun working now”可推知，活动很成功，取得了预期的效果，故选C。‎ ‎4．What can be the best title for the text?‎ A．A New Art Form—Tree Art B．Making Better Use of Trees C．How to Increase the Value of Trees D．Painting Campaign Helps Save Trees D　解析：标题归纳题。文章的第一段开篇点题，印度马杜巴尼地区的艺术家在树木和叶子上画画，从而拯救了树木，再结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲的是绘画运动使树木免遭砍伐，故选D。‎ B ‎(2019·甘肃重点中学协作体联考)In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.‎ Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，“Oh boy, a bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.”I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.‎ Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile，“Oh, that bus left five ‎ minutes ago.” Dreams of headcutting!‎ It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传递). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and big winners do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.‎ Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.‎ Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said，“Oh，that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.”Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要讲述当我们要告诉别人不好的消息的时候，要注意说话的方式和语气，还要带有同情心。‎ ‎5．From“Dreams of headcutting！”(Paragraph 3), we learn that the writer ．‎ A．was reminded of the cruel pharaoh B．was mad at the sales agent C．wished that the sales agent would have bad dreams D．dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night B　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的描述可知，“我”对售票员的态度很恼火。‎ ‎6．Which of the following is TRUE? ‎ A．The author really appreciated the neighbor’s warning.‎ B．From the passage we know that it is the bad news that makes someone angry.‎ C．If the runner brought the pharaoh unhappy news, he would be treated like a prince.‎ D．When we want to deliver any bad news, we should share the feeling of the receiver.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.”可知，当告诉别人不好的消息的时候，应该带有同情心，应该分担消息接收者不好的感受。‎ ‎7．What is the main idea of the text? ‎ A．Receiving bad news requires great courage.‎ B．Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.‎ C．Delivering bad news with sympathy is important in communication.‎ D．Learning ancient traditions can be useful.‎ C　解析：主旨大意题。本文主要告诉我们当我们告诉别人不好的消息的时候，要注意讲话的方式和态度，应该带有同情心，分担别人的忧愁。‎ ‎8．In the writer’s opinion, his neighbor was ．‎ A．not helpful　　　　　　 B．not considerate C．friendly D．warmhearted B　解析：推理判断题。第二段中的“As we walked lightheartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said...I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches.”以及最后一段中的“Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning.”可知，“我”认为邻居没有同情心，不能为别人考虑。故选B项。‎ 完形填空 ‎(2019·福州高中毕业班质检)I was once in an unusual sociology(社会学) class at Brandeis.
