Every family has a story. ThisIsUs follows the Pearson family across the decades: from Jack and Rebecca as young parents in the 1980s to their 37-year-old kids, Kevin, Kate and Randall searching for love and fulfilment in the present day. This dramedy in a grounded way shows how the tiniest events in our lives impact who we become, and how the connections we share with each other can survive time, distance and even death.

TheVoice, which has won four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program, returns with the strongest singers from across the country invited to compete in the show’s new season. Superstar singer, songwriter, actress and pop-culture icon Miley Cyrus takes a red chair on Season 13 alongside the show’s returning coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton and the host Carson Daly.

Since its first show in 1975, SaturdayNightLive has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation.

German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash(废物) to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage,〞 says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves.〞 Here, Schult was talking about his 1, 000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

“They are social sculptures,〞 he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.〞 So far, Schult’s social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow’s Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.

HA Schult’s work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations: “Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living.〞

Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can’t common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some forms of personal art? Maybe it’s because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn’t, or whom artists are or should be.

You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or

clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了德国艺术家HA Schult用废物做雕塑来展现生活的故事,号召我们对废物进行重新利用。 4. What do we know about Schult’s sculptures? A. They served as garbage containers. B. They reflected environmental issues. C. They were first shown in Paris, France. D. They were to raise economic awareness. 【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.〞可知,Schult的作品反映了环境问题,应选B项。

5. HA Schult’s artistic works also get the message across that an artist must . A. be socially responsible B. be as modest as possible C. make garbage recyclable D. take diverse artistic forms 【答案】A

【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“All that counts is the time in which we are living.〞和第二段的整体内容可推知,Schult的作品同样传递了这样一个思想,即艺术家除了自己的艺术追求之外,也应该有社会责任感,应选A项。

6. According to the last two paragraphs, the author probably agrees that . A. it takes talent to be a trash artist B. preset ideas are important to artists C. trash art can’t be seen as a real art form D. average people can also make trash artists 【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try.〞可推知,作者认为普通人也可以利用周围的废物或者垃圾而成为一位艺术家,应选D项。 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Could You Be a Trash Artist? B. What Are Social Sculptures? C. Do You Know about Trash Art? D. How Can We Deal with Used Cans? 【答案】A

【解析】主旨大意题。文章最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try.〞点题,再结合全文内容可推知,本文主要通过讲述一位艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事,鼓励人们行动起来,为环保做奉献,人人都可以成为一位艺术家,故A项最适合做文章标题。

C

Mention sand art and the image that comes to mind is that of an intricately(杂乱的) carved sculpture or design sketched on a beach surface. Though impressive, they are transient(短暂的) masterpieces that disappear with the first large wave or splash of rain. However, 24-year-old Tim Bengel’s sand art is permanent. That’s because the German artist uses the grit(粗砂) to “paint〞 his masterpieces on canvas. While the final product is certainly beautiful, what is even more so is the way it is created.

Bengel begins by covering a blank canvas with a special adhesive(黏合剂) that dries extremely slowly, giving the artist enough time to draw the desired image. He then begins “painting〞 with grains of black sand and in some cases, gold foil. It takes the young man anywhere from 200 to 300 hours to complete each work of art.

What is most intriguing about Bengel’s process is that only the artist knows what the final image will be. To the rest of the world, the canvas appears to be a mess of black sand. It is only when Bengel sprinkles white sand over the canvas and then dramatically sweeps off all the excess grit that the masterpiece is revealed!

The talented artist, who is currently studying art at the University of Tubingen, says his interest in the subject began after he visited the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart Art Museum as a child. Bengel was so inspired that he came home and began trying to reproduce the paintings he had seen at the museum. After winning an art competition at this school at the age of 18, Bengel knew that it was the career he wanted to pursue. But the young man also realised that to be successful, he would have to develop his own unique style. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。提到沙画艺术,人们会想到杂乱无章的沙雕。尽管很吸引人,但是这些杰作很短暂。然而,Tim Bengel的沙画作品是在帆布上作画,可以永久保存。 8. From the first paragraph we can see that __________. A. sand art only last for a short time

B. Bengel’s works are intricately carved sculptures C. Bengel’s works stretch on the beach D. the creation of sand art is more beautiful 【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Though impressive,they are transient masterpieces that disappear with the first large wave or splash of rain.However,24-year-old Tim Bengel’s sand art is permanent.〞可知,沙画艺术持续的时间很短。 9. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. The artist creates his work on the beach.

B. It takes the artist a long time to finish each work of art. C. This kind of art work is very easy to create.

D. The artist has to work quickly because of the adhesive. 【答案】B

【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“It takes the young man anywhere from 200 to 300 hours to complete each work of art.〞可知,这个画家创作一幅作品需要200到300个小时。由此可知选B项。

10. Bengel became interested in art __________. A. when he became a university student B. after he went to an art museum C. after he saw some sand sculptures D. when he was at the age of 18 【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“...his interest in the subject began after he visited the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart Art Museum as a child〞可知,他是在一次参观斯图加特州立绘画艺术博物馆后开始对艺术感兴趣的,所以选B项。

11. What did Bengelrealise he had to do if he wanted to be successful? A. He must visit museums often. B. He must reproduce the paintings. C. He must have his own unique style. D. He must win art competitions. 【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“But the young man also realized that to be

successful,he would have to develop his own unique style.〞可知,要想成功就要有自己的特色,所以选C项。

D

One of America’s best-known artist colonies, the MacDowell Colony, will turn 110 next year. It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions(分神之事) and just create.

MacDowell’s operations are funded by foundations, corporations and individuals. Writers, composers, photographers, filmmakers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place. Once accepted, an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks, or as long as a couple of months.

When they arrive, artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world. There’s no phone. No fax. No friends. No family. It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods.

Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City. She came to MacDowell to work on a novel. She received a desk, chairs, pencils and paper—and ice grippers. The walk from one isolated, one-room studio to another is icy, so colony residents fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.

Another colony resident, Belfast composer Elaine Agnew, play a piece called “To a Wild Rose〞, written by Edward MacDowell. She says it’s so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune. A hundred years ago, MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his death, his wife, Marion, encouraged other artists to come.

And for the last century, artists have accepted the invitation, coming to step outside of their daily lives for a short time. Privacy is respected, but cooperation and discussion is common.

Screenwriter Kit Carson—who wrote TexasChainsawMassacreⅡ and the film adaption of Sam Shepherd’s play Paris, Texas—has visited MacDowell twice. He says that the interdisciplinary(学科间的) discussion there is valuable.

“You sit around at dinner, talking, and then somebody runs off and brings you back some stuff and shows it to you,〞 he says. “That, I didn’t realise, was part of the magic here, because people are really open to showing their opinions here.〞

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国的麦克道威尔文艺营的具体情况。麦克道威尔文艺营是艺术家可以居住和创作的艺术中心,已经有接近110年的历史了。 12. Who sponsored MacDowell’s operations? A. Artists of all types.

B. The government and individuals. C. Foundations, corporations and individuals. D. Writers, composers, filmmakers and sculptors. 【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“MacDowell’s operations are funded by

foundations,corporations and individuals.〞可知,是一些基金会、公司和个人资金赞助麦克道威尔文艺营的运营。应选C项。

13. What can we learn about colony residents? A. They find it hard to survive the loneliness. B. They usually stay in the colony for months. C. They are already famous in their own field. D. They are nearly cut off from the outside world. 【答案】D

【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“sweep away distractions〞和第三段的内容可知,艺术家们在麦克道威尔文艺营根本与世隔绝,这样他们才能更安心地创作。应选D项。 14. Why is Elaine Agnew mentioned in the text? A. To show respect for MacDowell. B. To admire her great musical talent. C. To introduce the origin of the colony. D. To tell us the wide range of the residents.

【答案】C

【解析】推理判断题。作者在第五段提到作曲家Elaine Agnew,由她演奏麦克道威尔的名曲?致野玫瑰?,进而谈起麦克道威尔文艺营的起源等。应选C项。 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. Artists and Their Dream B. Wonderland for Artists C. Creativity at Work D. Power of Silence 【答案】B

【解析】主旨大意题。文章介绍了麦克道威尔文艺营。很多艺术家竞相来到这里,创作的灵感在寂寥无人处得以迸发。文章引用了几位艺术家的实例来突出表现该文艺营的独特之处。故B项“艺术家们的奇境之地〞符合文章主旨。应选B项。 第二节(共5小题; 每题2. 5分, 总分值12. 5分)

Think “art〞. What comes to your mind? Is it sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?

The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors can not only enjoy looking at them, they can also interact with them—literally. 16. __________. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?

Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts through art with various tools and technologies for thousands of years. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as“artists〞 rather than “technicians〞. 17. __________

Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. 18. __________ Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings, RiversideSceneatQingmingFestival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued a long time for a chance to see it. Thanks to technology however, more people have been able toexperience a digital version of it with 3D animation. 19. __________

Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people have created exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.

However, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it?

20. __________ But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.

A. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. B. Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess.

C. It’s not important whether they are artists or technicians.

D. They do this by using their phones to change their colours and patterns. E. They watch as the different scenes change from daylight into night time. F. The art—tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art〞.

G. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things. 【答案与解析】

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国诗歌的开展历史。

1 考查介词。根据句意可知,中国诗歌的历史可以追溯到2 700年前的春秋时期(公元前770—公元前476年)。该句中的date back to...是固定短语,表示“追溯到,从……就开始有〞。

1 考查连词。因为秦始皇毁掉了所有可以找到的书,所以在那之前记录很少。根据语境可知,此处应用表示原因的连词because/since/as引导原因状语从句。

B. in power D. in need B. time

C. energy

D. money

18.be located 考查动词的语态。在该句中locate表示“查明,找到〞,在that引导的定语从句中,that所指代的“all the books〞与locate之间为被动关系,因此用be located。

1 考查动词的时态。根据句意可知,唐朝前的几个世纪间,中国诗歌的风格、习惯、规那么逐渐发生了变化。这是在描述过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。

2 考查形容词。空处位于名词poets之前,修饰人,因此用形容词,再结合语境可知,此处应用productive表示“多产的〞。

2 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰谓语动词regarded,因此用副词。high和highly都可作副词,前者表示具体意义的“在高处,向高处〞;后者表示抽象意义的“钦佩地,赞赏地;很,非常〞。根据语境可知,此处用副词highly。

2 考查名词复数。根据下文的“calligraphers〞可以推断,此处指“画家〞,且要用复数形式,故用painters。

2 考查冠词。for the purpose of是固定搭配,意为“为了……目的〞。

2 考查名词。根据空前的“deeper〞和空后的“more elegance〞可知此处用名词meaning,表示“意义〞。

25.to find 考查非谓语动词。本句是“it is+adj.+to do sth〞句型,其中it是形式主语,不定式是真正的主语。故填to find。

第二节(总分值25分)

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Located halfway up the Italy’s Apennine Mountain, about 100 miles northeast of Rome, the Hotel Rigopiano has never been easy to reach. But its isolation(隔绝) only adds to its appeal, attracting a great number of tourists.

Snow began to fall across the Apennines in January and lasted for days. From his home in the Rome suburbs, Matrone watched the weather with concern. He and his wife, Cicioni, had planned an overnight getaway to the hotel. But now he wondered whether they should go. After phoning the hotel, they decided to make the trip. By the time they neared the hotel six hours later, they were battling a snowstorm. When they finally arrived, they were both cold and exhausted. They checked into their room and went to bed early.

As they awoke the next day, they discovered that their difficulty had worsened overnight. The cars in the parking lot were invisible. The phone and power lines were down. They were having breakfast when the hotel began to shake. An earthquake with a magnitude(震级) of 5. 7 had struck the mountain. “Get out of here!〞Matrone shouted to his wife. They headed quickly to the parking lot, where others were digging their cars. Fifteen minutes after the first earthquake, another quake hit, this one measuring 5. 6.

With a dozen vehicles freed by noon, the guests set off down the driveway. But when they reached the main road, the path was blocked by a six-foot-high wall of snow. Matrone climbed out of his car and investigated it. There was no road in sight. “We’re trapped!〞 he told his wife. So they had no choice but to make their way back to the hotel.

As it was getting dark, they managed to be back. That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide. They heard the avalanche(雪崩)before they saw it. The avalanche gathered speed and size, grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way down the mountain, tearing the hotel from its foundation. When the avalanche came to a stop, those caught inside the hotel were left buried in the icy rocks and ruins.

注意: 续写词数应为150左右。

When Matrone came to himself, he was stuck in the darkness.

It was not until the next morning that the rescuers finally arrived.
