Part II： Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Let me pose a(n） （31）hypothetical situation for you。 Imagine that you are

very rich and can do almost anything you want。 Now imagine that you love art and want to support

struggling artists。 You decide to （32)commission a painting from a young artist

whose work you admire. What would you have him paint？

Would you ask for an epic battle set in a(n） （33）mythological world of monsters

portrait of and fairies or would you ask for a realistic, （34）expressiveyourself? If you chose the latter, you’re in good company because that is （35）precisely what I did。 I had seen so many beautiful portraits of famous people

hanging in museums that I thought it was time to have my very own.

It took me a long time to find a highly （36)would do justice to my portrait。 In the （37）qualified artist whose work

， I studied the artistic

meantimeprocess and learned a lot about how art is created。 I must admit that， even though I’ve always

admired artists, I never had a full appreciation for their creative talent。 I certainly don't

have that ability， so I'm incredibly impressed when

someone (38)instinctively knows how to create a work of such beauty.

I was fairly nervous about seeing my finished portrait。 The artist， likewise, was very

nervous about showing it to me。 In the end， I must admit that he did a（n) （39）sufficient job capturing my likeness。 I’m not in love with the painting, but

consolationthe artist should take （40） in the fact that he did the best he could

with his subject。 I'm not a very attractive man， so it’s almost impossible for my portrait

to be beautiful and realistic.

Part III： Reading Comprehension

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

When it comes to the arts, many people automatically think of Europe and North America. This

is understandable since so many famous artists come from these regions。 Many art museums are filled

with paintings and drawings from European and North American artists from the past few hundred years。

All countries， however， have a unique artistic heritage， so it should come as no surprise that

countries throughout Africa and Asia have their own artistic styles and histories。

Completely landlocked within Southern Africa, the nation of Botswana is particularly susceptible

to cultural trends and influences from surrounding countries, chiefly South Africa。 However， there

is a burgeoning arts scene native to Botswana, and the country also has a long history of distinct

artistic traditions.

The oldest evidence of art in the country was found in the Tsodilo Hills， located in northwestern

Botswana, in the Kalahari Desert。 Dating to 1，000—2，000 years ago， these rock paintings form

the highest concentration of rock art in the world and are considered sacred by the San minority

culture。 Today， the San are known for continuing the ancient arts of decorating ostrich eggshells

for jewelry and creating ostrich eggshell beads， which they consider to represent good luck and

good fortune。 Archaeologists believe this type of bead to be the oldest—known man-made bead； they

have been recovered at East and Southern African archaeological digs and dated to 28,000—45，000

years ago.

The National Museum and Art Gallery in Gaborone is the centrepiece of modern art in the country。

It is widely regarded as one of the best art galleries in Southern Africa； it holds regular exhibitions

highlighting the work of local artists and also sponsors an annual celebration for local art and

artists。 The National Museum also acts as custodian for the cultural heritage and traditions of

the country， the duties of which include preservation, education， and promotion。 Twentieth and

twenty—first century painters include Phillip Segola， Ann Gollifer， and Neo Matome。

Spring in Gaborone， the capital city， sees the annual

Maitisong Festival—the country’s

largest celebration of the performing arts. The festival includes free outdoor performances at city

arenas as well as ticketed indoor events at Gaborone’s theatres and arts venues。 Performing arts

organizations, such as the

Mogwana Dance Troupe, are becoming more popular as more and more people

embrace and wish to share their cultural heritage.

Local handcrafts, supported in large part by the tourist trade, are generally of the utilitarian

variety。 Handwoven baskets， one of the specialties associated with Botswana， are of extremely

high quality。 Made almost exclusively in the Okavango region， they are woven with the leaves of the

Mokolwane palm and utilize various roots and barks in order to give the baskets their unique

colours and designs (typically associated with the nation’s traditional lifestyle). Due to the

abundance of cattle livestock, leatherwork has also developed as an important and widespread

handcraft. Traditionally used to make clothing, blankets， and sleeping mats, leather is today more

often used to make designer bags， belts， and accessories。
