答案与解析

1．A go without是固定搭配，意为“缺乏；没有”。此句意为“他是个寂寞的人，为了买颜料而没有饭吃”。

2．C由上文他“一时冲动割掉自己的耳朵”，“没有朋友”和最后一段的his wild emotions，可以推断出他的脾气很坏。stormy“激烈的；暴烈的”；short temper“急脾气”。

3．B此句意为“梵·高强烈的情感不仅影响了他的一生，也同样影响了他的绘画”，affect是“影响”之意。develop“发展”。

4．A inspire是“激发；启发”之意，此句意为“梵·高的许多画都受到温暖的黄色阳光的启发”。follow“跟随”。

5．D句意为“因为他热爱阳光照亮世界的不同方式”，light up意为“照亮”，符合句意。show up“出现”；turn up“开大(声音等)”。

6．B be filled with“充满”，也可以用be full of。

7．C此句意为“这些色彩赋予这幅画一种温暖的感觉”。feeling“感觉”；state“状态”；look“表情；外貌”；touch“触摸”。

8．A actually意为“事实上”，此句意为“然而，事实上向日葵早已枯萎或即将枯死”。

9．D由上下文可以判断此处要表达的是“结果是一幅混合了梵·高所热爱的生命的温暖和萦绕着他的伤感的画”所以要用mix ... with ...结构。

10．C下一句和本句相互对应，由下句可以推断此处是sadness。

11．A此句意为“使这种喜悦和伤感的融合更深一步”，take steps 是常见的搭配。

12．A表示“更进一步”，用further。

13．C颜色可以表达各种情感，蓝色可以表示“悲伤”，由上句“takes this mixture of joy and sadness one step further”可以判断此处只能是

blues。

14．B rather than是instead of之意，表示“而不是”；other than 是“除……之外”之意。根据句意只能选rather than。

15．D image是“图像；景象”之意；picture“图画”和painting 重复。

16．B unusually表示“不同寻常地”。

17．C view表示“景色”。

18．A由句意“梵·高由于他狂野的情绪而在生前不为人所了解”，可以判断此处用understood表示“被理解”。

19．A experience表示“体会；感受”。

20．D根据两句之间的关系，后一句应该是一个时间状语从句，选项中只有as可以表示“当……的时候”。
