课时作业(二十六)选修6Unit 1Art(限时：30分钟) .完形填空When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was _1_ to see that it was an EnglishEnglish dictionary, also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. _2_ it was a dictionary intended for nonnative learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely _3_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the _4_ bilingual(双语的)dictionaries, in which the words are _5_ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt _6_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _7_ that monolingual dictionaries are _8_ in learning a foreign language. As I found out, there is in fact often no perfect equivalence(对应) between two _9_ in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to _10_ that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the _11_ meaning of a word in English! Therefore, she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. _12_， I have come to see what she meant.Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) _13_ number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am _14_ exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. _15_ this, I can express myself more easily in English.1A.worried Bsad Csurprised Dnervous2A.Because BAlthough CUnless DIf3A.difficult BinterestingCambiguous Dpractical4A.new Bfamiliar Cearlier Dordinary5A.explained BexpressedCdescribed Dcreated6A.offered Bagreed Cdecided Dhappened7A.imagine BrecommendCpredict Dunderstand8A.natural BbetterCeasier Dconvenient9A.words Bnames Cideas Dcharacters10A.hope Bdeclare Cdoubt Dtell11A.exact BbasicCtranslated Dexpected12A.Largely BGenerallyCGradually DProbably13A.extra Baverage Ctotal Dlimited14A.repeatedly BnearlyCimmediately Danxiously15A.According to BIn relation toCIn addition to DBecause of.阅读理解ATaylor Bernard and her twin sister were born 12 weeks early. As a result, Taylor suffers from cerebral palsy (CP). It is a condition that affects the brain. Kids who are born with CP have trouble controlling the muscles in their body. Taylor is 8 years old now. She uses a powerwheelchair to get around. Her twin sister Sydney participates in sports, but Taylor has a different interest: art.Taylor submitted(提交) a watercolor painting of a sunset in Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, to an art contest. Of the more than 5，500 students who took part in the contest, only 51 were selected. Taylor was one of them. Her winning painting is now being displayed in Union Station, in Washington，DC. After leaving Union Station, the exhibit will tour the country.The contest was sponsored by VSA, the international organization on arts and disability. The nonprofit group was started to give people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in the arts. Submissions for the contest came from students with and without disabilities. The exhibition is part of VSA's International Arts Festival and was also sponsored by CVS Caremark's All Kids Can program.Art Changed Her LifeAmanda LaMunyon represented Oklahoma in the exhibition. She just finished her freshman year of high school. When Amanda was in elementary school, she had problems focusing and following rules. She has Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of autism.“People started looking at her differently，”her mother, Sherry LaMunyon, said.“They stopped looking at her as a girl who was struggling and started looking at her as an artist. It's changed her whole life.”The president of VSA, Soula Antoniou, said that the point of the exhibition is to focus on students' abilities, rather than their disabilities.“What we're trying to do is to make sure each student finds something they're good at，”she said.That's exactly what Taylor's done. While she has some difficulty with fine motor skills, she's found that she's talented with wide brush strokes(画) in painting.Inspiring OthersBefore finding painting, Amanda said she had trouble fitting in.“I didn't have anything that I felt was my talent，”she said. Now she's more focused on school and is interested in studying fashion design and theater.Amanda hopes the exhibition will show others that even if they have disabilities, they have abilities they don't even know yet.

It's changed her whole life.可推断出她的母亲看到别人对女儿的看法的改变，应该会高兴的，故选D项。17C细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句Now she's more focused on school可知在发现绘画的才能后，她能够更集中精力学习，学习也一定有提高，故选C项。18A主旨大意题。纵观全文，本文主要介绍了两位有残疾的孩子在国际艺术节上展示了她们的创造力，故选A项。B项在文中找不到支持的信息；C项不具体，本文主要是针对残疾孩子的表现，而不是艺术节；D项为文中细节。19C推理判断题。由第一段最后一句Her twin sister Sydney participates in sports可知她的双胞胎姐妹能正常参加体育运动，身体应该是健康的，故选C项。A、D两项与文中信息不符，B项为文中细节，不为推断。20C推理判断题。由本文最后一句You can see more of Amanda's artwork at .可推出本文应该来自网络。B21B推理判断题。最后一段中的New York应该指的是New York City，而不应该是 The New York Times，故A项不对。在第一个话题中，专家们将会谈论饮食在个人、全球健康中的作用和食物方面的政治观点，因而C项错误。在第二个话题中，sports writers are anything but audience说明sports writers并不是观众，故D项不正确。在第三个话题中，从How much of an effect does the book review have on book sales？可推知书评对书的销售应该有影响。22C细节理解题。由文章的第三个活动介绍可知，The Art of the Review是由Sam Tanenhaus所主持的。23B推理判断题。文章所列四个活动的具体时间都是持续45分钟。选项A、C与文章事实不符，而选项D则无从判断。24B细节理解题。四个活动中只有New York Writers，New York Stories是在下午举行的。25C推理判断题。因为是关于体育写作的，所以要参加第二个活动。6
