 2023高考英语Ⅱ卷七选五阅读  七选五 How To Begin An Art Journey 这篇文章就如何开始学习绘画分享了作者的一些建议。文章是一个总分的结构。每一段也是总分关系，即小标题+分述。只要找准设空处前后的关键词，理解所表示的关键信息，做题就比较轻松了。
As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey. ·Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. 36 You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. ·Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 37 ·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. 38 Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we’ve all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online. · 39 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability. The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. 40 Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life. A．Get out of your comfort zone.走出你的舒适区. B．Make career plans and set goals.制定职业计划并设定目标. C．Don’t throw away your beginner art.不要扔掉你的初学时的艺术作品. D．Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.如果你感觉舒适的话，分享你的作品. E．You’ll hit roadblocks, and you’ll feel discouraged at times.你会遇到障碍，有时你会感到气馁 F．Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role.评估自己的表现，并在必要时重新定义自己的角色。 G．You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.你会逐渐形成只有通过反复练习才能获得的绘画肌肉记忆.
答案解析 36．选C。根据后文“You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. (你会想要回顾一下自己的艺术之旅，看看自己已经取得多少进步)”可推知，这句话与前一句话是一种隐含的对比。即过去与现在的对比。所以空格处应该是过去对比的对象（过去所画的画）。C项“Don’t throw away your beginner art. (不要扔掉你的初学时的艺术作品)”符合文意，形成顺承关系。故选C项。 37．选G。分析设空处，位于段尾，是对本段的总结，根据小标题“Paint often and paint from life. 可知，本段主要讲述经常练习绘画，所以段尾应该和小标题呼应，强调经常练习作画。G项“You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. (你会逐渐形成只有通过反复练习才能获得的绘画肌肉记忆)”是对前文的总结。故选G项。 38．选A。分析设空处，空处位于小标题之后，此处应是对小标题的进一步解释，引出后文。根据小标题“Continually challenge yourself to try something new.”可知，不断挑战自己，尝试新事物，一定要走出自己的舒适区，迎接挑战。A项“Get out of your comfort zone. (走出你的舒适区)”是对前句的进一步说明，和后文构成顺承关系。故选A项。 39．选D。设空处位于段首，应该是本段的中心句。根据后文“Seeking and accepting constructive feedback，I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. (寻求并接受有建设性的反馈，发布作品，结识了一些最友好的人。)”可知，本段主要讲述了是分享自己的作品，所以D项“Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. (如果你感觉舒适的话，分享你的作品)”符合文意，是本段的中心句。故选D项。 40．选E。分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释。根据前一句“The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. (你的旅程不会是一条笔直的道路)”可推知，下一句应该是可能遇到哪些困难。 E项“You’ll hit roadblocks, and you’ll feel discouraged at times. (你会遇到障碍，有时你会感到气馁)”符合文意。故选E项。

长难句理解： There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 这个句子是一个否定+比较级表示最高级意义的句子结构。是本文的一个难理解的句子。 翻译：没有比勤奋练习更好的方法来提高绘画了。无论你画静物、肖像还是风景，尽可能多地从现实生活中绘画。 Note: It emphasizes the importance of practice and suggests that the best way to improve is to accumulate experience through painting from real-life subjects.
