A.Benjamin’svisittoPhiladelphia.
B.Williams’influenceonBenjamin.
C.ThebeginningofBenjamin’slifeasanartist.
D.ThefriendshipbetweenBenjaminandPennington.
答案C
解+析主旨大意题。
本文介绍了本杰明·韦斯特在六岁到九岁时对绘画的热爱,他所面临的问题以及大艺术家威廉·威廉姆斯对他的影响及帮助,引导着他走上了艺术家的道路。
因此C项正确。
6Whatdoestheunderlinedsentenceinparagraph3suggest?
A.Thecatwouldbecloselywatched.
B.Thecatwouldgetsomemedicalcare.
C.Benjaminwouldleavehishomeshortly.
D.Benjaminwouldhaverealbrushessoon.
答案D
解+析句意猜测题。
画线句是第三段的段首,其作用应是引出本段的内容。
由上文可知,本杰明没有画刷就从猫身上割毛制作画刷。
画线句后面的意思是,本杰明的表兄给他带来了画刷和颜料。
故画线句子的意思应该是与本杰明需要画刷有关,因此D项正确。
7WhatdidPenningtondotohelpBenjamindevelophistalent?
A.Hetookhimtoseepaintingexhibitions.
B.Heprovidedhimwithpaintingmaterials.
C.HesenthimtoaschoolinPhiladelphia.
D.Hetaughthimhowtomakeengravings.
答案B
解+析细节理解题。
根据第三段中的“...hesentBenjaminaboxofpaintandsomebrushes.”以及最后一段中的“Inthecity,Mr.PenningtongaveBenjaminmaterialsforcreatingoilpaintings.”可知,表兄给本杰明提供了画刷等绘画材料来帮助他学习绘画,故B项正确。
8Williams’twobookshelpedBenjaminto .
A.mastertheuseofpaints
B.appreciatelandscapepaintings
C.gettoknowotherpainters
D.makeuphismindtobeapainter
答案D
解+析细节理解题。
根据最后一段中的“...theywerehisintroductiontoclassicalpaintings.Thenine-year-oldboydecidedthenthathewouldbeanartist.”可知,这两本书对他的影响更多的是在精神方面,而不是知识方面,这两本书坚定了他的梦想,引导着这个九岁的男孩走上了绘画的道路。
故D项正确。
C
