课时作业(八) Unit 3 Section B Grammar and usage & Integrated skills (分值：55分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共11小题；每小题2.5分，满分27.5分) A No one was born to be a good painter. Even the most famous artists have learned skills with the brush and perfected these skills over many years to become great. Does a white piece of canvas make you want to create a good painting If it does, then it is a great hobby for you. It is a great feeling to watch an idea begin to take shape and be expressed on the canvas in many different colors. To enjoy this kind of thing one needs to understand art first. We all have a hidden artist within us waiting to come out, as long as we have the time and ability to care for it. Painting is so simple that you do not have to be a certain age or have special qualifications or additional skills to start. One can start learning to paint at any time. It is beautiful to know this fact itself. Drawing, scribbling (乱画) and painting are all art forms. From drawing on paper or in notebooks to scribbling on walls, each one of us has expressed our feelings through art. Started as a hobby, art can easily become a profession. Art is a basic form of communication. Just as scenery inspires a poet to write a poem, just as a musician likes to make music with a natural sound, just as a dancer dances to a rhythm or beat, an artist picks up his brush to paint on a white canvas to express himself. Drawing is unfortunately more associated with children because they do not care how their artworks are judged. Even an adult can learn about art and drawing. It can be quite an excellent hobby. It is a form of communication that everyone can see. A painting can create warmth, calm the soul and bring happiness to one's life. 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要告诉我们艺术是什么，并且告诉我们绘画是一种很好的业余爱好，我们应该培养这种爱好。 1．What can we infer from the passage？( ) A．Art is a really difficult hobby to start.
