The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an   1  knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are   2  different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves   3 .
So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their   4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A   5  of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to   6 
the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be   7  by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest   8  connection between the artist and their
  9 .
By contrast, when a designer sets out to   10  a new piece, they almost always have a
  11  starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something   12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a
  13 , visit a location, or learn certain information. The most   14  designs are those that most effectively   15  their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.

解析【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了艺术家的设计作品和设计师设计作品的不同目的。
【小题1】C。shared knowledge background意思是“共享的(共有的)背景知识”,shared意思是“共享的(共有的)”,符合语境。即艺术家和设计师利用共有的一些背景知识去创造一些文学作品。
【小题1】A。根据后面的转折连词but以及第一段最后一句话可知,他们虽然利用共有的一些背景知识去创作,但他们这样做的原因却完全(entirely)不同。occasionally意思是“偶尔地”;hardly意思是“几乎不”;unnecessarily意思是“不必要地”。
【小题1】B。有些设计师认为自己是艺术家,但很少有艺术家认为自己是设计师。因此B项正确。
【小题1】A。文章接下来的两段内容阐述的是艺术和设计的目的不同,因此A项(purpose)正确。
【小题1】D。work在这里的意思是“作品”,即一项艺术作品。
【小题1】B。A项表示“阻止”;B项表示“允许”;C项表示“要求”;D项表示“移动”。根据上下文可知,这句话的意思是:艺术家创作一件艺术作品的目的是要和别人分享自己的某种情感,允许(让)观众和作品产生联系(互动),并从中学到东西或者受到鼓舞。因此本题选择B项。
【小题1】C。inspire表示“鼓舞”,符合语境,即艺术家希望通过自己的作品让欣赏他们作品的人受到鼓舞。
【小题1】D。emotional意思是“情感上的”,与前面一句话中的feeling相对应,符合语境。当今最著名、最成功的艺术作品是那种能够在艺术家和欣赏他们作品的人之间建立一种最强烈的情感上的联系的作品。
【小题1】B。audience在文中的意思是“读者”,即指欣赏艺术作品的人们,符合语境。
【小题1】C。当一名设计师开始创作(create)一件作品时。
【小题1】A。上文提到,艺术家在创作作品时,通常没有什么固定的起点(即第5小题前面说的starts with nothing),而本段说设计师设计作品时与艺术家不同,他们有一个固定的(fixed)起点。故选A项。
【小题1】D。联系上下文可知设计师的工作不是创造出一种全新的东西,而是与已经存在的某些东西有关。因此D项正确。
【小题1】B。根据上下文内容可知,A、C、D三项与文章内容毫无关联,只有B项合理,即有时候设计师设计的目的是介绍某种服务。
【小题1】C。important意思是“重要的”;creative意思是“有创造力的”;successful意思是“成功的”;unusual意思是“不同寻常的”。根据文章内容可知,显然只有C项符合题意,即最成功的设计。
【小题1】D。根据上文第12题后面的communicate可知D项“传达”正确。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A.kind           B.sensitive        C.fair  D.generous

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health,or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   39   .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   39   up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once?

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
