【Ⅰ】阅读理解Though impressive, works of sand art are temporary masterpieces that disappear with the first large wave of rain. However, Tim Bengel's sand art is permanent. That's because the German artist uses the sand to “paint” his masterpieces on canvas (帆布). While the final product is certainly brilliant, what is even more so is the way it is created.Bengel begins by covering a blank canvas with a special glue that dries extremely slowly giving the artist ample 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 80 to 300 hours to complete each work of art.What is most interesting about Bengel's process is that only the artist knows what the image is. To the rest of the world, the canvas appears to be a mess of black sand. It is only when Bengel spreads white sand over the canvas and then dramatically sweeps off all the surplus sand that the masterpiece is shown!The talented artist says his interest in the subject began after he visited the 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 school at the age of 18, Bengel knew that it was the career he wanted to pursue. But the young man also realized that to be successful, he would have to develop his own unique style.A few years ago, Bengel came up with his sand art idea. He says his first few paintings were a total disaster. But after some practice, he managed to perfect his sand art skills and was soon creating the masterpieces that have made the young artist world famous.1.Bengel's sand art differs from that of other artists mainly in ________.A.shape B.themeC.style D.size2.It can be inferred from the text that________.A.Bengel uses slow drying glue to have his painting easily completedB.in the beginning people don't know what Bengal is going to paintC.Bengel's works of sand art can be preserved from 80 to 300 hoursD.after Bengel became world famous, he turned to his sand art3.Bengel showed a desire for art________.A.after he visited the Stuttgart Art MuseumB.when he began to create works of sand artC.after he won an art competition in schoolD.when he could reproduce famous paintings【Ⅱ】阅读七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The movement has given great inspiration to those who compose songs for children.Excerpts from well-known poems of Li Bai, one of China's greatest poets, are perfectly mixed with music of the 21st century. As these children sing, it's how they find pictures and songs in the ancient poems.Reading Poems of Tang Dynasty is a golden award winner of the 2007 national composing competition for children's songs. Winning again at this year's nationwide children's singing competition, the song will be collected in an album which contains another 20 pieces inspired by the famous ancient poems.Famous composer Gu Jianfen says there's no better way to attract the younger generation than singing, especially when asking them to memorize the legacy of ancestors.Gu Jianfen said, “When we recorded the song, we discovered how involved the children were. Their sincere feelings and true thoughts let us learn the innocence of young hearts. For me, nothing is more precious than this.”Singing is also one great way for those young minds to sing out their gratitude to their parents, teachers and those who care for them. Those kinds of songs have taken a big slice of the winning pieces at this year's competition.1. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.Children's competition in BeijingB.Children singing China's Tang poemsC.Great inspiration to composersD.The importance of singing China's Tang poems2.

In the show, poems can be adapted into songs or depicted (描绘) through artistic pictures. Any contestant who can memorize the latest number of poems may not necessarily be the final winner, while fast reaction and usage of poems matter a lot more in the competition.Wu Yishu, a 16-year-old student from the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, is the champion of this season. Her rich knowledge of classical poetry impressed everyone and she rose to become famous online. In an earlier episode, Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section. She amazingly recited lines from the Classic of Poetry(《诗经》),the earliest collection of poems in China.“Learning poems isn't about winning or losing. The power of poetry lies in shaping one's view of life and developing one's inner world,” said Li Bo, an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competition's second season.When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the show's academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of poetry from both the aesthetic (审美的) and emotional sides, and guide students to lose themselves in the poems,rhythmic and rhyming (押韵的) lines.“Although the proportion (比例) of ancient Chinese poems in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased, many students still learn them for exams,” Li Dingguang said. “Therefore, it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry.”5.The TV show has been produced to ________ .A.appreciate classical Chinese poetry and cherish our traditional cultureB.shape people's view of life and develop their inner worldC.help students learn poems for examsD.explore cultural genes and enjoy classical Chinese poetry and life6.What do we know about the TV show?A.Only by memorizing as many poems as possible can a contestant win the quiz.B.Poems can be adapted into any form of art in the show.C.The TV show has aroused people's interest in classical Chinese poetry.D.Fantastic performances of contestants matter most.7. Which of the following may Li Dingguang agree with?A.The beauty of poetry should be explained more from the aesthetic and emotional sides.B.Students should memorize the poems' rhythmic and rhyming lines.C.The main duty of teachers is to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry.D.There will be more and more ancient Chinese poems in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools.8.T he underlined word “wowed” in the third paragraph probably means “________”.A.excited B.impressedC.puzzled D.inspired【Ⅱ】语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
