Ⅳ. 任务型阅读
阅读下面的短文,并根据所读内容,在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。(注意:每个空格只填一个单词)
Claude Monet's paintings were quite different from the art styles that were popular in France in the 1870s. Traditional artists always did their artwork in a studio and their paintings were realistic—they looked exactly like the real world. Claude Monet was part of a group of painters who were called Impressionists(印象派画家). Their paintings were light and a bit fuzzy—they gave an impression of what the real world looked like. Sometimes Impressionists worked outside, which was a very unusual thought in their time. Impressionism received its name from an early painting by Claude Monet titled *Impression, Sunrise*.
Knowing that trains were interesting subjects and represented modern progress, Claude Monet created a series of Impressionist paintings of trains from January to March of 1877. He worked on his paintings right on the train platform at the Gare Saint-Lazare, the train station on Saint Lazare Street. Although there were many train stations in Paris, this was the first train station built in Paris so it had historical significance(意义).
Monet's friend, Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, told the following story to his sons about Claude Monet and his painting of the trains. Monet needed a permission(允许) to spend time on the train platform and paint what he saw in his impressionistic style. One day, Monet dressed himself in his very best suit along with a fine top hat, a good linen shirt and a silk tie. He appeared to be a wealthy gentleman while he really was a poor painter.
When he went towards the clerk at the train office, he presented his calling card which introduced him as a painter. He asked to see the station master. The clerk quickly allowed this fine gentleman to enter the station master's office. The station master was also impressed and gave Monet permission to paint on the train platform. The station master even kept trains from leaving on time so Monet could complete a scene even though passengers complained.
Was it all worthwhile(值得的)? Monet's train scenes turned his career into a success and for the station master, made his train station famous until even now.

【分析】
这道题是阅读理解类的任务型阅读，解题思路如下：
1. 针对表格填空部分，先逐题定位题干对应的原文语句，比对原文和题干的句式差异，优先匹配原词，遇到需要转换的场景结合固定搭配、词性变换推导合适的单词，确保每空仅填1词且语义通顺。
2. 针对开放性问题，结合题干要求“展现当下现代生活”，选取身边符合现代特征的事物，用通顺的英文表述即可，无需拘泥唯一答案。
逐个推导空的逻辑：
第1空：原文点明莫奈的作品和当时流行风格不同，题干用了not the...as的结构，对应固定搭配the same as，刚好和different语义呼应，得出答案。
第2空：原文提到作品给人真实世界样貌的印象，题干从句结构是...the real world looked，用连接词how表示“真实世界看起来的样子”，符合语法逻辑。
第3空：原文明确印象派的名字来源于莫奈的《日出·印象》，直接对应得到名字的语义。
第4空：后文整段介绍莫奈画火车的相关经历故事，原文也提到朋友讲述相关故事，对应填story。
第5空：原文提到火车是很有意思的主题，题干搭配keep one's interest，对应“吸引人们注意力、保持人们兴趣”的语义。
第6空：原文时间是1877年1月到3月，题干用了...and连接两个时间点，对应固定搭配between...and...。
第7空：原文点明这个车站是巴黎第一个建成的火车站，有历史意义，也就是拥有巴黎最长的历史，对应填history。
第8空：莫奈打扮成富有的绅士，成功获得站长的许可，本质是赢得了站长的信任，对应填trust。
第9空：原文提到站长甚至不让火车准点发车，也就是火车比原定时间更晚离开，后面有than提示用比较级，填later。
第10空：原文提到这些火车画作让他的事业取得成功，题干用了make sth+adj的结构，把名词success转换为形容词successful即可。
第11空开放题选取智能手机、新能源车等典型现代事物表述即可。
