Until about 150 years ago, the most important, expensive and renowned kind of painting was large-scale pictures that told a story, regarded as the  小题1: (hard) challenge for an artist.  小题2: (choose) suitable subjects, artists had to be well-read. Then they had to know   小题3:   stories could be told without words, using only gestures and expressions. To create lifelike scenes, they had to understand perspective, lighting and anatomy. So history painting needed a lot of thought and   小题4:  . (imagine). Large-scale pictures used to be reserved for grand religious or patriotic subjects, but that changed in the 19th century, as artists began creating history paintings based   小题5:  contemporary news stories. One of the first of these was The Raft of the Medusa, inspired by the wreck of   小题6:   French ship in 1816, which showed how art could have a powerful political impact. It presents a scene   小题7:   the survivors of the wreck on a raft littered with bodies try to signal to a distant ship. When they    小题8: ( rescue ), they told how they had been abandoned by their captain, while he sailed to safety in a lifeboat. Starving, they had to eat each other to survive—though this picture makes   小题9:   look heroic rather than violent. The picture caused a huge outcry. Some people thought the artist meant to criticize the French king,   小题10:  had been involved in appointing the ship"s captain.

解析

试题分析:直到150年前,世界上最重要的、最昂贵的绘画是用来讲述宗教故事的大幅作品,这对于画家来说是个巨大的挑战。为了选材作为绘画内容,他们必须要博学、还要知道如何用绘画来表述故事。但是到了19世纪,这种情况被改变了,画家们开始用现代的故事来作为绘画内容。
小题1:考查形容词。根据下文对这幅绘画的讲述可知这幅作品的取材、创作都是非常耗费精力的,再根据前面的定冠词the可以判断此处用形容词最高级,答案填hardest。
小题2:考查非谓语动词。根据下文内容可知画家们必须要博学多才,还得了解如何不用文字来讲述这个故事,再通过To create lifelike scenes, they had to understand…..可以判断此处是强调目的,应该用不定式,填To choose。意思是:为了选择合适的主题……。
小题3:考查连接词。由结构可知此处是宾语从句,从句中是“主谓宾”结构,缺少状语,再根据从句的内容stories could be told without words, using only gestures and expressions.可以判断此处强调方式,指如何去做到这一点,答填how。
小题4:考查名词。and连接并列成分,根据所给提示单词以及空前a lot of thought and….可以判断此处填名词imagination
小题5:固定搭配:be based on“以……为根据”,答案填on。
小题6:考查冠词。ship是可数名词,单数可数名词前需有限定词,根据语境可知此处指“一艘法国船”,是泛指概念,答案填a。
小题7:考查定语从句。分析结构可知名词后面the survivors of the wreck on a raft littered with bodies try to signal to a distant ship.是定语从句,从句缺少状语,而先行词scene是抽象名词,表地点,故答案填where。
小题8:考查动词。根据句意可知状语从句的主语they和rescue是被动关系,再根据主句时态判断此处用一般过去时的被动形式,答案填were rescued。
小题9:考查代词。根据上文内容可知此处指代the survivors of the wreck on a raft,做make的宾语,用宾格形式。短语:make sb do sth,答案填them。
小题10:考查定语从句。从结构可知此处是非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,而先行词是the French king ,所以填who。
