Ⅳ.One possible version:
Our test started and I was sitting there and working away quite quickly. I looked around with 15 minutes left, because I had finished and was checking my test.I noticed something very peculiar!Mr Ward was staring right at one of the kids that seemed to be only half way done with his test.Mr Ward did not take his eyes off this kid, which seemed weird to me. For the remainder of the test, Mr Ward watched that kid as he struggled in a wild manner, flipping papers back and forth and writing and erasing even more furiously. He seemed to use his calculator a lot more than he needed. Mr Ward seemed to have found something unusual.
After the exam, Mr Ward asked the kid he was watching to go to his office. He closed the door and from that moment on, I heard about 4 minutes of Mr Ward yelling at the kid. The kid was terrified and trembling, telling Mr Ward what he had done during the exam. He had written his answers inside the cover of the calculator and every time he was “using his calculator” he was really looking at the formulas and other stuff. Mr Ward tore up his paper and gave the kid a zero for the end of the year exam. That was the first and the last time that I had seen Mr Ward ever yell like that.
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了著名艺术家凡·高的生平和艺术成就。
1.A go without是固定搭配,意为“缺乏,没有”。 句意:他是个孤独的人,为了买颜料而没有饭吃。
2.C 由上文“他一时冲动割掉自己的耳朵” “没有朋友”和最后一段的his wild emotions 可以推断出他是暴脾气。stormy激烈的,暴烈的;short temper急脾气。
3.B 句意:凡·高强烈的情感不仅影响了他的一生,也同样影响了他的绘画。affect是“影响”之意。
4.A inspire是“激发;启发”之意。句意:凡·高的许多画都受到温暖的黄色阳光的启发。 5.D 句意:因为他热爱阳光照亮世界的不同方式。light up意为“照亮”,符合句意。show up出现;turn up开大(声音等)。 6.B be filled with充满。
7.C 句意:这些色彩赋予这幅画一种温暖的感觉。feeling感觉;state状态;look表情,外貌;touch触摸,触动。
8.A actually事实上。句意:然而,事实上向日葵早已枯萎或即将枯死。
9.D 由上下文可以判断此处要表达的是“结果是一幅混合了凡·高所热爱的生命的温暖和萦
绕着他的伤感的画”,所以要用“mix…with…”结构。
10.C 下一句和本句相互对应。由下句可以推断此处是sadness。 11.A 此句意为“使这种喜悦和伤感的融合更深一步”。 12.A 表示“更进一步”,用further。
13.C 由最后一段最后一句中deep blues提示可知,此处用蓝色表示“悲伤”,又由上句“…this mixture of joy and sadness one step …”可以判断此处只能是blues。
14.B rather than是instead of之意,表示“而不是”;other than是“除……之外”之意。根据句意只能选rather than。
15.D image是“意象,图像”之意,符合句意。 16.B unusually表示“不同寻常地”。 17.C view表示“景色”,符合句意。
18.A 根据“凡·高由于他狂野的性情而在生前不为人所了解”可以判断此处用understand。 19.A experience表示“体会,感受”。
20.D 根据两句之间的关系,后一分句应该是一个时间状语从句,选项中只有as可以表示“当……的时候”。
