13.The Renaissance (文藝復(fù)興)
For many people,the Renaissance means 14th to 16th century Italy,and the developments in art and architecture,music and literature which took place there all that time.But there is one work which,perhaps more than any other,(33)expresses (express) the spirit of the Renaissance:the Mona Lisa.It is believed to be (34)the best (good) example of a new lifelike style of painting that amazed people when it was first used.(35)Painted (paint) by Leonardo da Vinci in the years 1503-1506,the Mona Lisa is a mysterious masterpiece.People want to know who Mona Lisa is,and why she is smiling.(36)Evenif/though people do not know much about the Renaissance,they have heard of this painting.
The Renaissance was a time of scientific invention,too.Leonardo,as well as being one of the greatest painters the world has ever known,was also a skilled inventor.Wherever he went,he carried a notebook around with him,(37)in which he wrote down his ideas.They included detailed drawings of the human body,plans for engineers to build canals and bridges,and (38)astonishing(astonish) drawings of machines which were not to be built until hundreds of years later,such as aeroplanes,parachutes(降落傘),submarines(潛水艇) and tanks.Towards the end of his life he (39)was employed (employ) by the King of France to do scientific research,and he did not have a lot of time for painting.In short,he was an extraordinary genius,an example of what has been described as"Renaissance man":someone interested in (40)everything and with many different talents.

分析 本文主要講述了文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期著名的畫(huà)家、發(fā)明家列奧納多•達(dá)•芬奇的事跡.文中提到了他聞名世界的杰作《蒙娜麗莎》,深受人們的喜愛(ài),被認(rèn)為是文藝復(fù)興時(shí)的靈魂,是一種栩栩如生的新型的繪畫(huà)風(fēng)格中的最佳范例;這部作品有著極大的影響力;即使不太了解文藝復(fù)興人們的,也都聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這幅畫(huà).人們都想知道蒙娜麗莎是誰(shuí),她又為什么微笑?
文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期是科學(xué)發(fā)明的時(shí)期,列奧納多•達(dá)•芬奇不僅是文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期杰出的畫(huà)家,他還是一個(gè)有才能的發(fā)明家,他們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)了包括人體的詳細(xì)圖紙,工程師建造運(yùn)河和橋梁的計(jì)劃,以及幾百年后才被建成的令人驚嘆的機(jī)器的圖紙,如飛機(jī),降落傘,潛水艇和坦克.
最后一部分概括了列奧納多•達(dá)•芬奇是一位非凡的天才,被稱作是"文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期最完美的代表人物".

解答 33.expresses;  根據(jù)句中"But  there is"可知本句要使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài);分析"But there is one work which,…spirit of the Renaissance"的句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處是定語(yǔ)從句,one work是先行詞,關(guān)系代詞which代替先行詞作主語(yǔ),與express構(gòu)成主動(dòng)關(guān)系;所以此處的謂語(yǔ)部分要用動(dòng)詞的第三人稱單數(shù)形式.故填expresses  
34.the best; 此處意為:一種栩栩如生的新的繪畫(huà)風(fēng)格中的最佳范例,此處應(yīng)使用good的最高級(jí),意為"最佳的";故填the best 
35.Painted; 此處paint與Leonardo da Vinci構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系,意為"由列奧納多•達(dá)•芬奇所畫(huà)",所以要用paint的過(guò)去分詞形式,故填Painted
36.Even if/though;結(jié)合上文可知,本句表達(dá)蒙娜麗莎這幅畫(huà)在當(dāng)時(shí)的影響,應(yīng)意為:即使人們不太了解文藝復(fù)興,他們也聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這幅畫(huà);"即使、雖然";故填Even if/though
37.in which/where;分析"Wherever he went,…wrote down his ideas"的結(jié)構(gòu)可知,該句是非限定性的定語(yǔ)從句,先行詞是 a notebook,在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ),所以此處缺少的是關(guān)系副詞where/介詞+關(guān)系代詞which;本句意為:無(wú)論他走到哪里,他都隨身攜帶一本筆記本,并在上面寫(xiě)下他的想法.故填in which/where
38.a(chǎn)stonishing;此處"drawings of machines機(jī)器圖紙"表示物,故需要用動(dòng)名詞作定語(yǔ)修飾物;意為"令人驚嘆的機(jī)器圖紙",故填astonishing
39.was employed;分析"Towards the end of his life he…to do scientific research"的結(jié)構(gòu)為:主語(yǔ)he+謂語(yǔ)部分+by the King of France+賓語(yǔ)to do scientific research.符合被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的句式結(jié)構(gòu),意為:到了晚年時(shí)期,他被法國(guó)國(guó)王雇用做科學(xué)研究.因此謂語(yǔ)部分應(yīng)該為be+動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞;這里講述的是已經(jīng)故去的著名畫(huà)家列奧納多•達(dá)•芬奇的故事,所以要用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài).故填was employed 
40.everything;最后一句表達(dá)了列奧納多•達(dá)•芬奇被稱作是"文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期最完美的代表人物",所以有人對(duì)他所有的事情(everything)都感興趣,包括他具有的許多不同的才能.故填everything

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本題考查的是基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的綜合運(yùn)用.首先需要了解短文的歷史背景,理清寫(xiě)作思路,正確把握文章的主旨大意;另外還需要熟練運(yùn)用基礎(chǔ)知識(shí),像本題考查到的一些知識(shí)點(diǎn)有:動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài);動(dòng)名詞用作定語(yǔ)的用法;形容詞的最高級(jí);定語(yǔ)從句;以及不定代詞的用法等;所以需要逐句分析,填寫(xiě)最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢福?/p>

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2017屆貴州省貴陽(yáng)市高三下學(xué)期第六次適應(yīng)性考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

My family was gathered for a barbecue when the discussion arose about a celebrity who earned a large amount of money. The major criteria for receiving millions of dollars seem to be determined by how much the audience will pay to watch the performer achieve.

The discussion led to a sudden self-questioning. Why did I choose teaching for a career? I half-listened to their conversation as I pondered the answer.

I remembered my three children watching me spend nights planning for my class. I remembered how they intently listened to my frustrations concerning materials, procedures and the amount of responsibility that seemed to endlessly be thrust into the laps of classroom teachers. I remembered when it came time for each of my own children to choose a profession. How I waited to hear if any had plans to follow Mom into teaching. Long considerations held no mention of anyone becoming a teacher.

Dessert was being served, and everyone was still involved in the discussion of the enormous salary of one individual, when the phone rang. My husband handed the phone to me.

“Hello, this is Bonnie Block,” I said.

“Is this the Bonnie Block who used to teach kindergarten?”

A nervous sensation swelled in me, and my mind raced with memories of those days long ago.

“Yes!” I exclaimed with a lump in my throat. It seemed like forever as I waited anxiously to hear what the caller would say next.

“I am Danielle—Danielle Russ. I was in your kindergarten class.”

Tears of surprise and joy rolled down my flushed cheeks.

“Yes,” I uttered softly as I remembered that darling, wonderful child.

“Well, I am graduating from high school this year, and I have been trying to find you. I wanted you to know what a difference you made in my life.”

She proceeded to give details. My influence on her wasn’t limited to kindergarten but remained a strong motivating force when she needed a coach to help her meet a challenge. “I pictured you praising and encouraging me all the way.”

Why choose teaching?

The pay is great!

1.The author’s children were not willing to be a teacher as their profession because ________.

A. they didn’t like the profession

B. they would give a lot but gain a little

C. they wanted to try different careers

C. keep in touch

D. show off her achievements

C. is well-paid as a teacher

D. has her work recognized
