2019-2020年高考英语一轮总复习第一部分教材知识梳理Unit1Art练习新人教版选修一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)APeople have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing.They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together.When an important person died,scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like modern ic strip(连环漫画)stories.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the ic strip.But,for the Egyptians,pictures still had magic power.So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it.By the year 1,000 BC,people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing.The signs they used were very easy to write,and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign,or letter,represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letter of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea,and Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawings,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.(xx湖北重点中学期中联考)1.Ancient people in France and Spain painted pictures on the walls of caves probably because.A.they loved animalsB.they enjoyed seeing picturesC.they preferred painting pictures to showing imaginationD.they thought pictures would be helpful in catching animals2.From this passage we know that.A.the Egyptian signs made a particular alphabet e into beingB.the Roman alphabet was developed from Egyptian alphabetC.Egypt is well-known for their ic strip storiesD.people in other parts of the world copied their writing system from the Egyptians3.In the last paragraph,the author thinks that pictures.A.should be made prehensibleB.are of much use in our lifeC.should be made interestingD.are disappearing from our life4.The possible title of this article may be.A.Pictures and writingB.The best way of writingC.Home of the ic strip storiesD.The earliest language in the world【文章大意】本文是说明文,介绍了人类绘画及绘画演变成文字的历史。1.D细节理解题。由第一段中的“Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.”可知,在岩壁上绘画是因为他们认为在捕捉动物时这些画是有用的。2.A细节理解题。从第二段中的“They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.”可知,埃及的符号后来变成了一种特殊的字母表。应选A项。3.B细节理解题。从该段最后一句“Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.”可以得出结论:作者认为绘画在生活中还是很有用的。4.A标题归纳题。文章介绍人类绘画及绘画演变成文字的历史。A项作标题最合适。BSue Miller was raised in South Dartmouth Massachusetts and studied painting with her musician and artist father,Tony Pacheco.She graduated from Dartmouth High School and attended Southeastern Massachusetts University(currently known as The University of Massachusetts),where she studied fine arts.Sue also had private art lessons with legendary painters Milton Healey and Rachel Farrington.Sue enjoyed a career of 20 years as a professional graphic artist.She worked in advertising agencies,art departments,newspaper art departments,department stores,etc.During these years as a graphic artist,Sue was able to express her creativity on the job.Today Sue runs her own business called The Magic Palette Art Studio where she has taught thousands of students to draw and paint for the past 19 years.A visit to Sues home or online gallery will have you immediately drawn to the diversity of her art.Her paintings include a variety of subjects from angels,fairies,elves,nature,wildlife,children and pets.You will also notice that Sue especially enjoys painting the seasons.There is a vast collection of art to cover every holiday of the year.Sues models of her paintings are often her art students and her nieces that help bring about the humanistic qual
