【分析】
这道题是词语运用题，需结合句子语境和词汇的词性、固定搭配来选择合适的单词。首先明确方框内单词：lamp（台灯）、surprised（惊讶的）、finished（完成）、paint（刷漆；颜料）、in a mess（乱七八糟）、possible（可能的），其中一个多余。然后逐空分析：
1. 第1空前是decide to，需接动词原形，结合语境“刷卧室”，选paint；
2. 第2空描述房间状态，后文提到“溅污到处都是”，对应in a mess；
3. 第3空是desk相关的物品，选lamp；
4. 第4空是固定搭配be surprised by，表“被…惊到”，选surprised；
5. 第5空对应“完成刷漆工作”，选finished，剩下的possible为多余项。
【解析】
1. 由decide to do sth（决定做某事）的结构，结合语境“刷卧室”，选动词原形paint；
2. 后文提到“溅污到处都是”，说明房间状态是in a mess（乱七八糟），符合语境；
3. desk（书桌）相关的物品，结合词汇，选lamp（台灯）；
4. 固定搭配be surprised by（被…惊讶），符合妈妈看到杂乱的反应，选surprised；
5. 结合“clean up（打扫）”和“刷漆工作”，选finished（完成），表示完成了刷漆任务。

五、本土文化阅读理解。
Xuzhou Qinshu is a traditional local storytelling art and a national intangible cultural heritage of China. It is popular in Xuzhou and the neighbouring areas of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui provinces. With a history of nearly 200 years, it developed from ancient folk tunes in the late Qing Dynasty.
In the past, people also called it “Sixian” or “Yangqin Singing”. Different from common operas, Qinshu mainly combines speaking and singing. Performers use local Xuzhou dialect and play the yangqin while telling stories. Its style mixes the gentleness of southern folk art and the boldness of northern culture, so it sounds lively and warm with strong local flavour.
Most stories of Xuzhou Qinshu come from folk tales and traditional novels. The plots are simple and educational. In old times, farmers enjoyed watching Qinshu shows during their free seasons. It was the most popular public entertainment for local people.
However, like many traditional arts, Xuzhou Qinshu is facing challenges today. Fewer young people learn this skill. To protect the precious culture, local schools and theatres now hold Qinshu lessons and performances. More people begin to know and love this old local art, letting traditional culture live on in modern times.
()1. What kind of art is Xuzhou Qinshu?
A. A modern dance art.

B. It has a history of over 500 years.

()3. What problem does Xuzhou Qinshu face now?

1. B 【点拨】根据文章首句“Xuzhou Qinshu is a traditional local storytelling art”可知选B。
2. C 【点拨】文中提到“Qinshu mainly combines speaking and singing”,其余选项与原文不符。故选C。
3. C 【点拨】文末提到“Fewer young people learn this skill.”。故选C。

【分析】
做这类阅读理解细节题时，需先明确题干要求，再回到原文定位对应关键语句，逐一比对选项与原文内容，排除不符合的选项，选出正确答案。第1题询问徐州琴书的艺术类型，需定位原文首句；第2题需查找关于徐州琴书特点的描述，对应各选项正误；第3题需定位原文中关于徐州琴书当前面临问题的语句，从而选出正确选项。

3. 文章最后一段指出“However, like many traditional arts, Xuzhou Qinshu is facing challenges today. Fewer young people learn this skill.”，对应选项C；A选项无依据，B选项与原文“Fewer young people”相悖，D选项原文未提及，故选C。
