poster information on the blackboard.She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing，“The first prize is ten dollars.You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.We studied the board critically.Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs.Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought.We had plans for that ten­dollar grand prize，each and every one of us.I'm going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich.e of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins，while others used nothing but colored construction paper.Some of us used big designs，and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it.Some of us would wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness.It was yet another grown­up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of，making all of us believe we had a fair chance，and then alwaysalwaysrewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can't say that with any certainty.I made it.I admired it.I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in.Minutes passed.No one came along to give me the grand prize，and then someone distracted me，and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.I was still sitting at my desk，thinking，What poster？when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten­dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.语篇解读：文章主要讲述了作者在五年级的艺术课上的一次海报比赛。“我最后凭着自己的努力，以一个有关帆船的海报而获得一等奖。26.What was the teacher's requirement for the poster？A.It must appear in time.B.It must be done in class.C.It must be done on a

wanted to.Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city，and so he did.When I was 16，Dad looked closely at the violin I played and announced that he wanted to make one.He read about violin making，and then became a violinmaker at the age of 43.He bought the tools and materials，opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper，while he worked at a local company.He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sound so beautiful.Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish that gave those instruments their beautiful sound.Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnishif that were the answer.One of Dad's friends asked him once which kind of wood was used to make violins.When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce，his friend said that he had an old piece of spruce Dad might be interested in.He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him.It proved to be a superior violin and it would become Dad's masterpiece.He was convinced that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself.Later，the instrument was stolen.Dad's spirit was broken by the robbery，and he stopped making instruments.But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old，selling guitars and violins.My father has been gone for 14 years now.The violin has been missing for more than 25 years.Somewhere a musician is playing a late­20th­century violin with an excellent tone.The owner today may never understand why this ordinary­looking violin sounds so much like a Stradivarius.语篇解读：作者追忆了自己父亲的一些往事，父亲曾经说过：“只要你真想做一件事，那么你就能做成那件事。父亲学会了乐器制作，并制成了一把音色绝美的小提琴，但不幸被盗。31.The author mentions his father's

special.C.The wood of the violins was special.D.They could only be analyzed by chemists.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“Some experts claimed that it was the unique varnish that gave those instruments their beautiful sound.Dad argued that.可知，一些专家认为是由于油漆的特殊性，这些乐器听起来才这么美妙，但是父亲并不同意。第四段当父亲的朋友问用什么样的木料来做小提琴时，“.Dad explained that the top was made of spruce，即父亲认为最好的小提琴应该是用云杉做的，可知，父亲认为木料的特殊性会使小提琴的声音更加好听。答案：C33.From the

worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him.可知，耗尽12个月(一年)的时间、精力制作了自己的masterpiece(杰作)，结果不久以后却被盗了，所以伤心至极，精神也崩溃了，从此不再制作小提琴了，但这恰恰说明了他对这个小提琴由衷地喜欢。答案：A34.How long did the author's father live after the violin was stolen？A.About 11 years. B.About 14 years.C.About 25 years. D.About 80 years.解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段开头可知：父亲去世14年，而小提琴丧失25年，所以可以推断出，在小提琴丧失以后，父亲又活了11年。答案：A35.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author.A.really hates the thiefB.misses his father a lotC.really wants to play the violinD.wonders who's playing the violin now解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的描述，父亲已经去世14年了，那个小提琴也已经丧失25年了，后面是作者对小提琴现在的情况的猜测，可能持琴人并不明白这把小提琴为什么弹奏起来如此美妙，而作者很清楚：那是因为这把小提琴是父亲亲手用云杉木花费了一年的心血做成的，由此可以看出作者对父亲的深切思念。答案：B
