Question

【題目】閱讀理解
For nearly a century before there was such a thing as a space program, a view of space was possible. People could see full views of the Moon, explore Mars(探測火星),and study the outer space beauty. All of this was made possible by a small group of artist-astronomers(天文藝術(shù)家) who worked to show people how other worlds in space might look.
Lucien Rudaux, a French artist, was the first to use his artistic ability and his knowledge of astronomy in art. His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination and careful attention. As a result, many of his works have come surprisingly close to actual conditions on distant planets. His painting of Mars included moonlike craters(火山口) that were first photographed by the astronauts in 1965. His 1930 painting of a dust storm looks remarkably like a photograph of a storm taken by the astronauts in 1976.
The artist-astronomers, including Rudaux, made people interested in outer space by painting what turned out to be exact portraits of the planets.
（1）The passage tells us ________.
A.the surprising exactness of space artists

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）D
（4）C
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，在一個世紀(jì)以前，人們很多通過天文藝術(shù)家的畫作來認(rèn)識宇宙，而有些藝術(shù)家的畫作，比如法國畫家Lucien Rudaux所畫的一些畫竟然與后來實(shí)際拍攝到的景象驚人地相似。這表示了畫家驚人的想象力。
（1）考查主旨大意。本文通過法國畫家Lucien Rudaux的畫作，展現(xiàn)了畫家驚人的想象力。故選A。
（2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Lucien Rudaux, a French artist, was the first to use his artistic ability and his knowledge of astronomy in art. His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination and careful attention.”可知，天文藝術(shù)家主要是畫行星的。故選C。
（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination and careful attention. As a result, many of his works have come surprisingly close to actual conditions on distant planets.”，Lucien Rudaux的畫作是真實(shí)與想像的結(jié)合。故選D。
（4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“His painting of Mars included moonlike craters(火山口) that were first photographed by the astronauts in 1965.”可知，1965年是拍到月球隕石坑了。故選C。
