[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。
文章讲述了美国著名艺术家本杰明·韦斯特是如何开始他的艺术生涯的。
8.Whatisthetextmainlyabout?
A.Benjamin'svisittoPhiladelphia.
B.Williams'influenceonBenjamin.
C.ThebeginningofBenjamin'slifeasanartist.
D.ThefriendshipbetweenBenjaminandPennington.
解析:
主旨大意题。
文章从本杰明在六岁时自制画笔作画写起,到后来利用专业工具作画,再到知名画家送给本杰明书籍,都是在讲述本杰明是如何一步步走上艺术之路的。
A、B、D三项以偏概全,文章虽然提及了A项“本杰明对费城的访问”、B项“威廉姆斯对本杰明的影响”以及D项“本杰明与潘宁顿之间的友谊”,但这并不是本文的主旨。
答案:
C
9.WhatdoestheunderlinedsentenceinParagraph3suggest?
A.Thecatwouldbecloselywatched.
B.Thecatwouldgetsomemedicalcare.
C.Benjaminwouldleavehishomeshortly.
D.Benjaminwouldhaverealbrushessoon.
解析:
推理判断题。
由前文可知,本杰明在没有专业画笔之前是用猫的毛制作画笔的。
画线句子的字面意思是“猫的命运将会得到改善”。
由该段后文可知,本杰明的表兄送给了他专业的颜料和画笔。
由此可推知,D项与画线句的意思相符。
A、B、C三项无中生有,A项“猫会被严加看管”、B项“猫将得到一些医疗护理”以及C项“本杰明不久就会离开他的家”均与画线句内容无关。
答案:
D

细节理解题。
文章第四段提到“HewasamazedatwhatBenjaminhaddonewithhisgift.”,接着下一段又谈到“...Mr.PenningtongaveBenjaminmaterialsforcreatingoilpaintings.”,由此可知,潘宁顿送给本杰明绘画材料来帮助他发展艺术才能,故选B项。
A、C、D三项无中生有,文章并未提及A项“潘宁顿带本杰明去参观绘画展览”、C项“潘宁顿送本杰明去费城的一所学校”和D项“潘宁顿教本杰明如何制作版画”。
答案:
B
11.Williams'twobookshelpedBenjaminto________.
