Ⅳ.阅读理解
The painter Georgia O’Keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm.At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York，but she never lost her bond with the land.Like most painters，O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her，and nearly all her works were simplified portrayals (简笔画) of nature.
O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz，whom she married in 1924.During a visit to New York in 1929，O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak (阴冷的) landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images.Cows’ skulls and other bleached bones found in the desert figured prominently (突出地) in her paintings.When her husband died in 1946，she moved to New Mexico permanently (永久地) and used the horizon lines of the desert，colorful flowers，rocks，barren hills，and the sky as subjects for her paintings.Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in 1920’s,1930’s and 1940’s，she continued to produce tributes to the Western
desert until her death in 1986.
O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter.While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art，O’Keeffe’s position was more independent.She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor (努力)．Almost from the beginning，her work was more identifiably (可识别地)
American than that of her contemporaries (同龄人) in its simplified and idealized treatment of color，light，space，and natural forms.

B．O’Keeffe was the best painter of her generation.

2．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O’Keeffe’s paintings?
A．Her rural upbringing.
B．Her life in the West.
C．The works of European artists.
D．The appearance of the natural landscape.
3．Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?
A．A photographer’s relationship with a model.
B．A writer’s relationship with a publisher.
C．A student’s relationship with a hammer.
D．A carpenter’s relationship with a hammer.
4．Why is O’Keeffe considered as an artistic pioneer?
A．Her work became influential in Europe.
B．She painted the American Southwest.

3．齐白石的绘画作品常给观赏者留出运用想象力解读其内涵的余地。 Don’t leave him waiting outside.
Ⅲ.1.C [由句式结构分析，painting与name之间为被动关系，故用named Racing Horse作后置定语。]
2．D [句意为：这辆卡车正以高速行驶着。at high/top speed为固定用法，“以高速”。故选D项。]
3．C [句意为：从1902至1909年期间，他游历大江南北，画了许多山水画。scenery指大范围的自然风光，为总称，符合句意。]
4．B [句意为：这幅名为《罂粟花》的画是陈逸飞艺术风格的代表作。normal正常的；typical典型的，具有代表性的；common共同的；ordinary普通的。]
5．D [考查固定短语。fix one’s eyes on凝视，eyes作fix的宾语。在句中which引导的从句作eyes的定语。which代指eyes，所以eyes与fix on之间为逻辑上的被动关系，故选D项。]
6．A [句意为：为更进一步突出这位女子，陈逸飞在她的扇子和衣服的布料上加入很多细节。cloth布料，布匹；clothes衣服；clothing服装的总称；clothe为动词，给……穿衣，只有A项符合句意。]
7．A [句意为：在画中，一个年轻女子独立坐着，陷入深思中。alone表示独自一个人，单独一个人，不含感情色彩；lonely多形容人孤独寂寞，含有感情色彩；deep用于具体的深度，包括时间，空间；deep in thought陷入深思；deeply用于抽象和比喻的意义。故选A项。]
8．C [whatever引导宾语从句；add to your trouble增加你的困难。]
9．D [句意为：中国人民绝不会袖手旁观。with folded arms交臂(而无所行动)。]
10．B [现在分词短语leaving his...作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果，he与leave为主谓关系；形容词unfinished作宾补，表示“未完成的”。]
Ⅳ.1.A [本文为人物传记，介绍了美国本土画家Georgia O’Keeffe以及她的作品情况。根据第三段最后一句“Almost from the beginning，her work was more identifiably American than that of her contemporaries...”可知，O’Keeffe与其他同时代的画家相比，她的作品更具有美国特色(不受欧洲画法的影响)，可以称之为美国本土画家。故A项正确。]
2．C [根据第三段第二句“While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art，O’Keeffe’s position was more independent.”可知，O’Keeffe受欧洲画法的影响较小，故可得出正确答案为C项。]
3．A [根据第一段最后一句“...nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature”可知，这位画家的作品主要是表现自然界，可见她与自然的关系是描写者与描写对象的关系。A项意思与之类似，摄影师和模特的关系也是描写者与描写对象的关系。]
4．C [根据最后一段“...O’Keeffe’s position was more independent.She established her own vision...Almost from the beginning，her work was more identifiably American than that of her contemporaries...”可知，O’
Keeffe与其他同时代的画家相比，她有自己独特的绘画风格，不受欧洲画法的影响，开创了美国本土绘画风格的先河，故可称之为“艺术先驱”。]
