There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington，D.C.has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆) ; Paris has the Louvre; London，the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building，or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.
You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art，produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists in their own computers. In only a few minutes，your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He said he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.
A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records，or floppy discs (软盘)，to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures in paper，the computer artist needed an expensive laser (激光) printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
16．The main purpose of this text is to give information about ________.
A．famous museums through the world
B．a computer art museum in Miami，U.S.A.
C．art exhibitions in Florida International University
D．the latest development in computer art
17．To see the art in FIU museum，your special needs include________.
A．floppy discs
B．a computer and a printer
C．pictures and drawings on paper
D．a computer connected to the museum by telephone line
18．What are stored in this museum?
A．Paintings drawn by means of computer.

C．Old paintings
D．Drawings done by art students of FIU.
19．The museum was started when________.

B．Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists
C．art students needed a place to show their works
D．computer scientists wanted to do something about art

Lucille Clifton, the AwardWinning Poet, was the First African American Poet Laureate of Maryland. Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time.
Lucille Clifton was born Thelma Lucille Sayles in Depew, New York in 1936. She was named Thelma after her mother. Lucille was the name of one of her father's ancestors. When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.
Lucille Clifton began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother's lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew.
While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called “Lucy”．
She often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world.
Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. They do not deal in makebelieve. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation(标点) and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.
20．Which of the following may be the reason why Lucille Clifton chose to call herself Lucille instead of Thelma?
A．To show her love to her mother.
B．To show her love to her beloved teacher.
C．To show respect to her greatgrandmother.
D．To show her respect to a great poet.
21．From the passage, we know that Lucille Clifton is ________.
A．funny
B．creative
C．selfish
D．beautiful
22．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Lucille Clifton's parents affected her a lot.
B．Lucille Clifton's poetry was very traditional.
C．Thelma Sayles published many poems.
D．Lucille Clifton's poetry was very formal.
23．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Lucille Clifton's great works.
B．Lucille Clifton's poem background.
C．Lucille Clifton's poem style.
D．Lucille Clifton's poem words.

答案
课时作业(二十七)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查动词短语辨析。句意为：再坚持一会儿，我就会来救你。这里是一个“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句”的结构。go on意为“继续”；hold on意为“等会儿，坚持一会儿”；move on意为“继续”；carry on意为“继续开展，进行”。
2．A 考查the reason that…句型。the reason在定语从句中作explained的宾语，故应使用关系代词that/which；关系词在从句中作宾语，因此关系词可省略。
3．B 考查动词短语辨析。run out/give out意为“用完，耗尽”，主语通常为物，不用于被动语态。run out of/use up “用完，耗尽(某物)”，若主语为物，应用被动语态，若主语为人，则用主动语态。
4．D 考查虚拟语气。Had I been a little more careful是If I had been a little more careful的省略倒装形式，由此可知是对过去事实的假设，所以主句谓语用wouldn't have done。句意：如果我再细心点，就不会犯这么愚蠢的错误了。
5．C 考查动词辨析。句意：他们把成箱的食物装上卡车运往四川灾区。load…with…意为“用……装载”；supply意为“供应”；provide意为“提供”；unload意为“卸货”。
6．A 考查动词短语辨析。let out意为“放大(尺寸)”；give away意为“赠送，泄露”；bring in意为“引进”；lay out意为“铺开；布置；策划”。
7．A 考查动词辨析。句意：你如果老是那样捉弄别人，你就会失去朋友们对你的好感。tease意为“取笑”；cheese 是名词，意为“奶酪”；choose意为“选择”；tear意为“撕毁”。
8．A 考查短语辨析。in exchange for交换。句意为：联合国敦促该国放弃核计划以换取稳定和和平。其他各项均不符合句意。
9．B 考查虚拟语气。I'd rather＝I would rather，后应用虚拟语气。
10．B 考查名词辨析。company公司；branch分支机构；organization 组织；business商业，生意。句意为：这家银行的总部在北京，但是它的分支机构遍布全国。
11．D 考查定语从句。句意：英语诗歌多种多样，在这当中最流行的是童谣。
12．A 考查动词的时态。句意：“你认为我们应当接受提供的帮助吗？”“是的，因为到目前为止，我们的运气如此糟糕，而且时间紧迫。”up till now(迄今为止)常与现在完成时连用，而时间“正在”消耗殆尽，用现在进行时，故选A。
13．C 考查动词短语辨析。按照句意此处有“编造笑话”之意。turn up出现，将……调大；put up举起，搭建，张贴；show up 出现。
14．C 考查交际用语。解答本题的关键是理解语境。“May I take your order now？”表示“现在请您点菜好吗”，显然选项C符合语境。
15．C 考查冠词的用法。in the habit of doing sth.为固定用法，意为“做某事的习惯”；in public places意为“在公共场合”，表泛指，所以不用冠词。
Ⅱ.A
本文是说明文。全文讲述了位于迈阿密州的Florida International University的电子美术馆的与众不同。
16．B 主旨大意题。作者首先在文章开头介绍世界著名美术馆， 接着引出迈阿密州的Florida International University，接下来文章详细地介绍了FIU的电子美术馆，因此 B为最佳答案。
17．D 细节理解题。从第三段第一句You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it可告诉我们此答案。
18．A 细节理解题。从第三段第三句It is computer art, produced electronically…得此答案。
19．B 推理判断题。从第四段第二句He said he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work可知，Robert Shostak 开办这家电子美术馆的目的是给艺术家们一个展示艺术的天地，因此B为最佳答案。C有较大干扰性，从文章最后一段看似乎这一选项正确，然而从第三段看，这家电子美术馆是面对所有的艺术家，而并非只对艺术学生。
B
本文主要介绍了马里兰州第一届黑人桂冠诗人获奖者Lucille Clifton的父母对她的影响，以及她的诗歌的风格。
20．C 细节理解题。由第二段“She was named Thelma after her mother…When the younger one got older she chose to call herself Lucille.”以及第四段“…especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia.”可知Lucille曾经是她尊敬的曾祖母的名字。
21．B 推理判断题。由最后一段“…Lucille Clifton's poetry was anything but traditional…Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art.”可知她在诗歌创作方面不传统，独创自己的风格，可推出“她是一个有创造力的人”。
22．A 推理判断题。由第三段“She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother…She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew…”和第四段“While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling.”可推出“她的父母对她影响很大”。
23．C 主旨大意题。最后一段提到Lucille Clifton的诗歌不传统，不押韵，没有特别的句式，没有虚幻的词汇，而是简单、真实、直接，采用了随意放松的语言等可知，此段主要讲述了其诗歌的风格。
