Question

In this world, in many cases, a lot of same things can be united together. Also, many opposite things cannot be united by many people. But there is always a chance to unite two different things in one work. The following passage will tell you more about the possibility of combining painting and poetry.

Perhaps, it is not a new idea that a great work can be created by combining paintings and poems. In this case, we can unite both things in two ways. The first way is to make the poem as the main inspiration for the painting. It is also possible to write a poem after looking at a painting.

What about the next idea to combine painting and poetry? Well, we can combine both of them on a canvas. You can paint an oil painting on it and then write down the poem on that canvas. I do not know whether this kind of idea has been used for years. But this is quite a great new idea for me. It will make more people love painting and poetry at the same time. You will not need to read the poem on plain white cloth anymore.

A poem is a good way to represent a story or a thought. It is usually not too long and not easy to be understood literally (照字面意义). It is a series of words arranged in stanza (诗节) and lines with rhyme, which are quite changeable. Therefore, combining it with another type of art (such as painting) would be very good. You can get the message of the poem through the colors on the canvas. All you need to do is to use your creativity to make a painting with the right color and with great words on it.

【解析】

本文是一篇议论文。在这个世界上，在很多情况下，很多相同的东西可以结合在一起。而且，许多相反的事情不能被许多人联合起来。但总有机会在一项工作中统一两种不同的东西。这篇文章告诉你更多关于绘画和诗歌结合的可能性。

1.词义猜测题。根据第三段中What about the next idea to combine painting and poetry? Well, we can combine both of them on a canvas. You can paint an oil painting on it and then write down the poem on that canvas.可知，那么下一个将绘画和诗歌结合起来的想法呢？好吧，我们可以把它们都放在画布上。你可以在上面画一幅油画，然后在画布上写下这首诗。由此可知划线词的意思是“画布”，故选C。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段Perhaps, it is not a new idea that a great work can be created by combining paintings and poems. In this case, we can unite both things in two ways. The first way is to make the poem as the main inspiration for the painting. It is also possible to write a poem after looking at a painting可知，诗歌可以激励我们去绘画，反之亦然。故选B。

3.推理判断题。根据第四段中A poem is a good way to represent a story or a thought. It is usually not too long and not easy to be understood literally (照字面意义). It is a series of words arranged in stanza (诗节) and lines with rhyme, which are quite changeable. （诗歌是一种表达故事或思想的好方法。它通常不会太长，也不容易逐字地被理解。这是一组用韵文排列的一系列词，它们是相当多变的。）由此可知A/B/C展示出一首诗的特色，而除D项之外。故答案为D。
