Unit 2 The Olympic Games 李仕才 一、阅读理解 Johannes Vermeer is such a quiet and introspective(内省的)artist that it took hundreds of years for anyone to notice he was a genius.‎ A major Vermeer exhibition opens this month at the Louvre in Paris, whose permanent collection includes his great painting of a woman absorbed in close, visually demanding work, The Lacemaker (about 1669－1670). Like other paintings by Vermeer, this image represents modern culture.‎ So attracted are today’s art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans can’t name who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring. Well, maybe they don’t go to the movies much.‎ It is not true to say he was forgotten—that would suggest he was famous in his lifetime. He was not. Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch‎ ‎Republic in the 17th century. He was not a star like Rembrandt. He obviously took himself and his art seriously. His selfreferential painting The Art of Painting proves that. Even though he worked all his life in Delft, he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43.‎ It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer, because it was the French avantgarde(先锋派)in the 19th century who saved him from being completely forgotten. Compare his painting Woman in Blue Reading a Letter or The Little Street with, say, Edouard Manet’s A Bar at the FoliesBergère(1882)or Camille Pissarro’s The Boulevard Montmartre at Night (1897) and it is easy to see why the art of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian Bohemia.‎ All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic ThoréBürger, a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.‎ Vermeer’s rediscovery is part of the history of modern French art. Vermeer is not only a great artist. He is a great modern artist.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了著名画家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的艺术特点。‎ ‎1．How many paintings produced by Vermeer are mentioned in the text?‎ A．Four.　　　　　　　　 B．Five.‎ C．Six. D．Seven.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。通读全文可知，本文共提及Vermeer的五幅画作，‎ 8‎ 包括第二段提及的The Lacemaker、第三段提及的Girl with a Pearl Earring、第四段提及的The Art of Painting、第五段提及的Woman in Blue Reading a Letter和The Little Street，故B项正确。‎ ‎2．What can we know about Vermeer from Paragraph 4?‎ A．He was wellknown when he was alive.‎ B．He gained a good fortune for his family.‎ C．He didn’t witness the popularity of his works.‎ D．He considered painting as a way to have fun.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，尽管他终身在代尔夫特工作，但是直到他在43岁去世时仅留下了35件被人们所知的作品，他是在贫困中离世的；结合第一段可知，人们在数百年后才发现他的艺术价值；据此可以判断，他没能看到他的作品受欢迎，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．Who made a great contribution to introducing Vermeer to other artists?‎ A．Rembrandt.　　　　　　 B．His family.‎ C．American art lovers. D．ThoréBürger.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第六段可知，由于评论家ThoréBürger的努力，Vermeer才被这些艺术家认可，故D项正确。‎ ‎4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A．Rediscovery of Vermeer B．Anecdotes About Vermeer C．Great Modern French Art D．The Tough Way to Success in Art A　解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了画家Johannes Vermeer的生平和他的艺术特点。Johannes Vermeer 在世时，画作并不为人所知，在贫困中死去；数百年后人们才发现他是艺术天才。故A项最适合作本文的标题。‎ 二、单句语法填空 ‎1．If you cannot pass the exam, you will not ________(admit) into college.‎ 答案：be admitted　be admitted to/into college “被大学录取”。‎ ‎2．In my opinion, it is you rather than he that should take ________ (responsible) for the accident.‎ 答案：responsibility　take responsibility for sth. “为某事承担责任”。‎ ‎3．There are too many TV________(advertise) between the programs.‎ 答案：advertisements　由many可知此空应填名词advertisement 8‎ ‎ “广告”，且应用其复数形式。‎ ‎4．He was disabled from birth, but he never felt frustrated, ________ did he give in to any difficulty.‎ 答案：nor　分析句子结构可知，最后一个分句应用部分倒装结构，由前一分句中的never可知，此句表示“也从不”，故填nor。‎ ‎5．They replaced their beloved old cars ________expensive new sports cars.‎ 答案：with　replace A with B “用B替换A”。‎ ‎6．It's true that she made a mistake but she hardly deserves ________ (lose) her job.‎ 答案：to lose　deserve to do sth. “应做某事”。‎ ‎7．There seems to be a fierce ________(compete) in China for senior high students to enter college or university.‎ 答案：competition　由前面的修饰成分a fierce可知此处应用名词competition “竞赛，比赛”。‎ ‎8．Eating properly and exercising ________(regular) can make one enjoy a healthier and longer life.‎ 答案：regularly　由前面的properly可知，此处应填副词修饰exercising。‎ ‎9．He bargained ________the merchant for an hour before he bought the vase.‎ 答案：with　bargain with sb. “与某人讨价还价”。‎ ‎10．The harder you try to beat him, the ________(many) likely you will get hit.‎ 答案：more　“the＋比较级 ...，the＋比较级 ...”为常用句式，意为“越……，(就)越……”。‎ 三、完形填空 One day when I was 13，my family was working in the fields to clear away old brush when

第二处：because改为that。考查名词性从句。主语为名词reason，表语从句中的连接词要用that。‎ 第三处：smile改为smiles。考查动词时态和主谓一致。由“which makes me”可知，主句应用一般现在时；主语为第三人称单数，谓语动词应该用单数。‎ 第四处：make改为making。考查非谓语动词。make与前面的谓语动词之间无连词，故此处应用现在分词短语作结果状语。‎ 第五处：honest改为honesty。考查名词。形容词不能作主语，应该用名词。‎ 第六处：lies后加to。考查固定用法。lie to sb.意为“对某人说谎”。‎ 第七处：the改为a。考查冠词。此处表示他是一个热心并且有同情心的人，表示泛指，应该用不定冠词。‎ 第八处：删除in。考查介词。句意：无论何时我有困难，他都愿意帮助我。have trouble意为“有困难”，in多余。‎ 第九处：excellently改为excellent。考查形容词。作is的表语应该用形容词。‎ 第十处：him改为me。考查代词。Petou能帮助别人也能帮助我。‎ 8‎
