Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside． You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but that’s part of the fun of it． You don’t need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature．

Of course, if you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive．

① It is picked up through experience． A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone． Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or destroy it?

Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque (巴洛克风格的) paintings． ②． In fact, apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．

③ It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed (灌输) amazing facts about a work of art in order to taste it． Our first experience of a work of art should be natural and unguided, like following a path in the woods． Later, you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you’re away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh．

Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． ④ Let the paintings flow in; let your senses fly off． Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all．

42． What does the writer mainly want to say in the first two paragraphs?

A． Art is best with the help of apps．                         B． Art is best when hidden in mystery．

C． Art is nothing compared with nature．                   D． Art is something about the wild．

43． Where can the sentence “Yet such knowledge comes slowly．” be put in?

A． ①．                          B． ②．                          C． ③．                          D． ④．

44． What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A． How to taste a work of art．

B． How to do personal research into a work of art．

C． How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．

D． How to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a work of art．

45． What can we infer from the passage?

A． A good piece of art is usually made about nature．

B． Because of apps, art will be in danger in the future．

C． Museums aren’t supposed to allow the use of phones．

D． Research work and senses can both help understand art．

The pilot, Antoine De Saint-Exupéry who wrote The Little Prince, died long ago, but the fictional pilot, who told the story, is as alive today as he was many years ago, along with his Prince, the fox, the rose and the snake．

It opens with a reminder: All grown-ups were once children, but few of them remember it． The pilot in this story lost that part of himself． After a stay in the desert with the little prince, he found his inner child again． It is a simple story with life lessons． Here are some．

“One only understands the things that one tames．” Seeing thousands of roses that look like his rose made the prince feel as if he was tricked by his flower． The fox showed him that taming someone takes time． The prince understood the nature of relationships: the time he has wasted on his rose makes her so important．

The fox, as his parting gift, shared his secret with the prince: “One can see rightly with the heart．” “What is on surface is not what matters．”

When the pilot showed his picture about the snake eating the elephant, adults only saw it as a hat． Adults couldn’t see what was inside the snake．

So “What is essential (very important and necessary) is invisible to eyes．” This truth set the little prince free． He decided to join his rose back on his planet．

Has he returned to his planet and his rose? The ending is in the imagination of every reader as well as the pilot． After all, it is a book with something for everyone． This timeless tale touches both kids and adults．

参考答案

1． D

【解析】

【详解】句意：扬州这座古老城市在这样一个温暖的春天吸引了大量游客。

考查冠词。不定冠词a/an，意为“一”，表示泛指，a用于辅音音素前，an用于元音音素前；/表示不填，零冠词。分析题干可知，第一空泛指一座古城，空后的“ancient”以元音音素开头，所以第一空填an；第二空考查“such+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数”结构，空后的“warm”以辅音音素开头，所以第二空填a。故选D。

2． C

…………
