3．The summer I was ten，my mother decided to bring us to the world of art．My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant．What she meant was not that we could take draw ing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum．Before each visit to the museum，she made us read about artists and painting styles．It was almost as bad as being in school．Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool？
First，we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum．My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny，but I was not interested．Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Age s who painted people wearing strange long clothing．We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings．I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art．
On our last visit to the museum，something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary．In it，a woman was reading to a child．The colors were soft and gentle，and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child．I couldn't stop looking at this painting!I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made!It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much．
28．The aim of the mother's plan was toA．
A．introduce them to the world of art           
B．take them only to visit the museum
C．a(chǎn)sk them to read about artists               
D．a(chǎn)sk them to read different painting styles
29．What was the writer's experience in the museum before the last visit？B
A．She came to feel her mother's love．
B．She hardly enjoyed herself．
C．She liked many paintings．
D．She could understand the pictures of fat babies．
30．What made the writer go through a change that summer？D
A．Her mother's instruction                    
B．A strange way of painting．
C．Artists in the Middle Ages．
D．One of Mary's paintings．
31．From the text，we can seeA．
A．the effect of art                        
B．the importance of curiosity
C．the value of summer                      
D．the power of family．

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了一次他去看畫展的經(jīng)歷，作者原來對藝術(shù)并不十分感興趣，看了Mary的畫后受了感染，這就是藝術(shù)的作用．

解答 28．A  推理判斷題，根據(jù)第一段The summer I was ten，my mother decided to bring us to the world of art．My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant可知這個母親帶孩子去畫展的目的是向他們介紹藝術(shù)世界，故選A．
29．B  推理判斷題，根據(jù)第二段My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny，but I was not interested可知在最后一次去畫展前，作者對畫展并不感興趣，故選B．
30．D  推理判斷題，根據(jù)最后一段I couldn't stop looking at this painting!I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made!It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much．可知作者很喜歡Mary的畫，在此之前作者并不喜歡藝術(shù)，是Mary的畫讓作者有了改變，故選D．
31．A  細節(jié)理解題，作者原來對藝術(shù)并不十分感興趣，看了Mary的畫后受了感染，這就是藝術(shù)的作用，故選A．

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
