(2018山东德州高三模拟检测题)

A parent might place his daughter’s drawing on the fridge out of a love for his child rather than for the wonderful image,but for many people,that children art is actually quite amazing.In fact,adult artists were often inspired by children’s drawing.For the museum-goers out there who tend to point to a piece of modern art and say,“My kid could have made that!”It’s worth remembering that often,that’s actually just what the artist had in mind.

For many kids,drawing is exciting not because of the final product it leads to,but

because they can live completely in the world of their drawing for a few minutes.Even children are scribbling(涂鸦),they’re representing through action,not through pictures.Liane Alves,a prekindergarten teacher,recalled a student who presented her with a drawing featuring a single straight line across the page.Alves assumed the child hadn’t given too much thought to the drawing until he explained that the line was one of the stems (茎) from The Princess and the Pea,one of the fairy tales they read in class.

Maureen Ingram,who’s a preschool teacher at the same school,said her students often tell different stories about a given piece of art depending on the day,perhaps because they weren’t sure what they intended to draw when they started the picture.“We as adults will often say,‘I’m going to draw a horse,’and we set out...and get frustrated when we can’t do it,”Ingram said.“Children seem to take a different approach,where they just draw,and then they realize,‘it is a horse.’”

And what about those odd or scary-looking drawings? Does that mean kids are telling themselves stories that are odd or scary? It’s hard to say,but it’s rarely a good idea to over-interpret it.Ellen Winner,a psychology professor,pointed to parents who worry when their kid draws a child bigger than the adults.What’s most important to remember is that “children’s art has its own logic,” Winner said.“Children are not being crazy.” 4.What may the author agree most probably according to the first paragraph? A.Children are more skilled and creative than adults in art. B.There might be similar patterns in artists’ and kids’ drawings. C.No one knows what the drawing experience means to children. D.Parents should become drawing teachers of their children.

5.The author gives the example of Liane’s student to prove that . A.simple scribbles from children are meaningful B.not all the children like drawing in the classroom C.children’s drawing is too complicated to understand D.teachers often find it hard to teach children drawing 6.What is most important for children while they are drawing? A.The best image. C.A copy of real things.

B.Drawing process. D.The ending of story.

7.What should parents do if their children draw things odd or scary?

A.Ask teachers to show the children how to draw. B.Help the children to draw the picture again.

C.Invite other children to have a discussion about the drawing. D.Take it easy and listen to the story behind the picture.

6.B 推理判断题。根据第二段For many kids,drawing is exciting not because of the final product it leads to,but because they can live completely in the world of their drawing for a few minutes.绘画之所以令孩子们兴奋,不是因为它带来的最后结果,而是因为他们能在绘画的世界里生活几分钟。可见孩子们注重的是过程并非结果,故选B。

7.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段Does that mean kids are telling themselves stories that are odd or scary?It’s hard to say,but it’s rarely a good idea to over-interpret it.和What’s most important to remember is that “children’s art has its own logic”可知,父母对孩子奇怪或吓人的画不要过度解读,他们的画有自己的逻辑。可以放松,听孩子讲画背后的故事。故选D。 Ⅱ.语法填空
