题目内容
5.Until about 150years ago,the most important,expensive and renowned kind of painting was large-scale pictures that told a story,regarded as the (16)hardest (hard) challenge for an artist.(17)To choose(choose) suitable subjects,artists had to be well-read.Then they had to know (18)how stories could be told without words,using only gestures and expressions.To create lifelike scenes,they had to understand perspective,lighting and anatomy.So history painting needed a lot of thought and (19)imagination.(imagine).Large-scale pictures used to be reserved for grand religious or patriotic subjects,but that changed in the 19th century,as artists began creating history paintings based(20)on contemporary news stories.One of the first of these was The Raft of the Medusa,inspired by the wreck of (21)a French ship in 1816,which showed how art could have a powerful political impact.It presents a scene (22)where the survivors of the wreck on a raft littered with bodies try to signal to a distant ship.When they (23)were rescued ( rescue ),they told how they had been abandoned by their captain,while he sailed to safety in a lifeboat.Starving,they had to eat each other to survive-though this picture makes(24)them look heroic rather than violent.The picture caused a huge outcry.Some people thought the artist meant to criticize the French king,(25)whohad been involved in appointing the ship's captain.分析 直到150年前,世界上最重要、最昂贵并且最享有声誉的绘画是用来讲述宗教故事的大幅作品;由于为了选材,艺术家们必须要博学、还要知道如何用绘画来表述故事,创作这种绘画对于他们来说是个巨大的挑战;但是到了19世纪,这种情况发生了改变,画家们开始用现代的故事来作为绘画内容;其中的一幅代表作就是《梅杜萨之筏》,该作品的灵感来自于1816年一艘法国船的残骸,这幅画的内容曾引起了民众的强烈抗议,并产生了极大的政治影响,有人认为这位艺术家批评的是曾参与任命该船船长的法国国王.
解答 答案:
16.hardest 考查形容词的最高级 根据下文"To create lifelike scenes,they had to understand perspective,…needed a lot of thought and (19)."讲到创作这种大型的历史画颇费精力,并且根据空缺处前面的定冠词the,可判断出此处应使用形容词的最高级;故填 hardest
17.To choose 考查动词不定式作目的状语的用法 本句的意思是:为了选择合适的主题,艺术家们必须要博学;此处在句中作目的状语,应使用动词不定式形式;故填 To choose
18.how 考查特殊疑问词 此处用在动词know之后,引导的是宾语从句;由于该从句中缺少方式状语,意为:然后,他们必须得知道在没有文字,只使用手势和表情的情况下,如何才能将故事讲出来;故填how
19.imagination 考查词类转换以及名词 此处在句中与a lot of thought 一起作动词need的宾语; 应使用动词imagine的名词形式;意为:因此,历史绘画需要大量的思维和想象;由于 imagination 为不可数名词;故填imagination
20.on 考查固定短语 固定短语be based on"以…为根据",故填on
21.a 考查不定冠词 此处用来修饰单数名词ship,表示泛指"一艘法国船";故填a
22.where 考查关系副词 本句是定语从句;由于先行词scene作为表示抽象意义的地点名词,在该从句中作地点状语;故填 where
23.were rescued 考查时态及语态 分析句意可知,when从句中的主语they和rescue是被动关系,再根据主句使用了一般过去时可知,此处描述的是过去的情况,应使用一般过去时态的被动语态;故填were rescued
24.them 考查人称代词的宾格形式 根据上文可知,此处在句中作make的宾语,指代的是the survivors of the wreck on a raft,故用宾格形式them
25.who 考查关系代词 根据句意以及空缺处之前的逗号可知,本句是非限定性的定语从句;由于先行词the French king(指人),在从句中作主语,故填who
