《2025年天星教育28天预习新高一英语》

典例导悟 As an artist who shares her journey online, I'm often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. However, 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 works. These small works provide inspiration and can help you start more complex (复杂的) works in the future. 1 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 practice again and again. Whether you paint still lives, people, or beautiful views, paint from life as much as possible. 2 (You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. )
• Keep challenging yourself to try something new. 3 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.
• 4 (Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. ) Seeking and accepting positive feedback (积极的反馈) is very important 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. 5 Give it time and put in the effort. You will enjoy the results of an artistic life.
A. Get out of your comfort zone.
B. Don't throw away your beginner art.
C. Think about your future jobs and set goals.
D. Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so.
E. See how well you did and, if needed, change your plan.
F. You'll meet difficulties, and you'll feel down at times.
G. You'll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition.

答案： 答案 1. B 空前一句提到这些小型作品可以提供灵感,帮助你开启未来更复杂的作品。空后一句讲到了你会想要回顾自己的画画之旅,看看自己已经取得了多大的进展,因此空处应为承上启下的过渡句,既与开始阶段的小型作品有关,又与以供回顾的物件有关,而 B 项中的"your beginner art"最贴合语境,它可以帮助你看到自己从开始到现在取得的进步,故选 B 项。
3. A 根据本段的主旨句"Keep challenging yourself to try something new"可知,本段主要围绕"不断挑战自我去尝试新事物"展开,且空后的"Artistic growth can be a bit painful"提到画画的成长会有些令人痛苦,再结合选项内容推断,A 项"走出你的舒适区"可在此作过渡句,承接前文讲到的方法,并引出下文的分析,符合语境,故选 A 项。
5. F 空前一句讲到了"The journey you're on won't follow a straight path" (你的旅途不会一路平坦),而空后讲到的"Give it time and put in the effort" (给它时间,付出努力) 是面对困境时的做法,因此空处应承接上一句,讲到画画之旅中的困难,故 F 项"你会遇到困难,有时你会感到沮丧"符合语境。
