D
One of my clearest childhood memories is sitting at our kitchen table with my father. He put canvases, paints, and brushes in front of me. Then, he showed me how to mix colours and use different materials. Those were the best days—when we let our imaginations run wild and painted whatever came to mind.
My father's love for art started in a tiny village. Even though he didn't have much, he never let that stop him. He saved money to buy paints and coloured pencils. Sometimes, he even drew on the walls of his home! At the age of 15, he took a big risk and moved to America alone. After years of hard work, he finally became a US citizen.
As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful.
But things varied when I started looking at my father's amazing paintings and art on a social platform. Suddenly, I felt like my simple drawings weren't good enough. His landscapes looked so real, while my drawings seemed plain. I looked through my sketchbooks and found something wrong with every single picture. I used to love art more than anything, but I started thinking I just wasn't talented. Instead of practising more, I decided to quit drawing.
My father quickly noticed that I wasn't drawing or painting as much any more. One day, he said, "Mary, I think you should try out for the art school. When I was your age, I dreamed of having a chance to study art, but it never happened." His words touched me deeply.
So, for the next few months, I got busy. I picked out my best drawings, fixed up the ones that needed work, and filled my portfolio with all my art. It wasn't really easy. But when I was faced with difficulties, I kept thinking about my father's story. Looking back at my pictures later, I could see how much I had improved since then.
To my surprise, I got into the art school! Walking into that place was like entering a whole new world. Everyone there loved art as much as I did. The teachers didn't just teach us to draw better; they taught us to be proud of our unique styles. I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I'm not afraid to share it. Thanks to my father, I've found my love for art again and learnt to be confident in my skills.

37. A 词义猜测题。根据第三段中"I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful."及第四段中"But things varied when I started looking at my father's amazing paintings and art on a social platform. Suddenly, I felt like my simple drawings weren't good enough."可知,作者从"自认为可以突出每个人独特而美丽的外表"到"直到在社交平台上看到父亲令人惊叹的绘画和艺术作品时认为自己简单的画不够好"的心境变化,可推测画线部分varied应与选项A"变化,改变"意思相近。故选A。
38. C 推理判断题。根据第二段"My father's love for art started in a tiny village. Even though he didn't have much, he never let that stop him. He saved money to buy paints and coloured pencils.

Mary, I think you should try out for the art school."及最后一段中"I used to be shy about showing my art, but now I'm not afraid to share it."可知,父亲在15岁时独自搬到了美国;父亲教作者如何混合颜色和使用不同的材料;不久之后父亲注意到作者不是很喜欢画画了,父亲提议作者去艺术学校试试及作者最终敢于与他人分享她的艺术,可推测故事的正确顺序为"c-e-a-d-b"。故选B。

解析
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文体裁的阅读理解题，解题时可按照不同题型的对应思路逐个突破：
1. 第37题词义猜测题：首先定位划线词"varied"所在的第四段，梳理前后文的情绪和状态变化：前文作者享受创作，认为自己能画出每个人独特的美，后文转折后作者看到父亲的作品，突然觉得自己的画作不够好，萌生自我否定的想法，状态和之前完全不同，由此推断划线词的含义，匹配同义选项即可。
2. 第38题推理判断题：首先明确第二段的内容是介绍父亲从小在艰苦条件下依然坚持热爱艺术的经历，再结合第三段父亲后续一直给作者上艺术课、引导作者发现生活之美的内容，就能判断第二段的写作目的，排除不符合逻辑的干扰选项。
3. 第39题事件排序题：逐个定位五个事件在原文中出现的先后位置，先找到最早发生的事件：父亲15岁独自移居美国，之后才是作者童年时父亲教自己调配颜料、使用画材，后续依次梳理作者决定放弃画画、父亲提议她报考艺术学校、最后作者敢于对外分享自己的作品的顺序，就能选出正确排序。
4. 第40题标题归纳题：通读全文，抓住全文核心主线：父亲的人生经历、言传身教对作者的艺术生涯产生了至关重要的影响，对比四个选项，排除片面的、偏离核心的选项，选出最贴合全文主旨的标题。
【解析】
37. 词义猜测题：
根据第三段作者此前的状态"I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful"，可知作者原本对自己的创作很有认同感；第四段转折后提到作者在社交平台看到父亲的优秀画作后，突然觉得自己的画不够好，开始自我否定，前后状态发生了明显的改变，因此"varied"的含义最接近"changed（改变）"。B选项developed（发展）、C选项gathered（聚集）、D选项formed（形成）均不符合语境，因此选A。
38. 推理判断题：
第二段介绍了父亲童年在贫困的小乡村依然坚持热爱艺术、15岁独自赴美打拼最终成为美国公民的经历，结合第三段父亲后续长期给作者传授艺术知识、引导作者发现身边美好的内容，可知作者介绍父亲的过往经历，是为了说明父亲对自己产生艺术相关影响的根源。A选项"鼓励读者向父亲学习"不是第二段的写作目的，B选项"展示父亲悲伤的童年"不符合原文父亲积极坚持的形象，D选项"解释父亲为什么热爱艺术"属于片面解读，因此选C。
39. 事件排序题：
逐个定位事件的先后顺序：
① 第二段提到父亲15岁时独自移居美国（事件c），是所有事件中发生最早的；
② 第一段提到作者童年时父亲教自己调配颜色、使用不同画材（事件e）；
③ 第四段提到作者觉得自己没有天赋，决定放弃画画（事件a）；
④ 第五段提到父亲发现作者不再画画，提议她尝试报考艺术学校（事件d）；
⑤ 最后一段提到作者考入艺术学校后，不再害羞，敢于勇敢地和他人分享自己的艺术作品（事件b）。
因此正确顺序为c-e-a-d-b，对应选项B。
40. 标题归纳题：
全文围绕父亲的艺术人生经历、对作者的艺术启蒙、在作者自我否定时的鼓励展开，核心是讲述父亲是对作者艺术生涯影响最大的人。A选项只提到作者艺术生活的悲喜，没有抓住核心人物父亲的影响；B选项的"特殊的关爱"过于宽泛，没有贴合艺术这条主线；C选项"难忘的话"只是文中的细节，不能概括全文，只有D选项最贴合全文主旨，因此选D。
