五、完形填空。
There was once a young painter named Zhou Xi. She loved to 1 every corner of her paintings with bright colours and detailed designs. It was because she thought more was better. One day, she 2 an old master painter. The master showed her a beautiful landscape painting. Zhou was surprised to see half of the paper was empty—only a few birds 3 in the clear sky, and a small boat floated on the calm water.
“Why did you leave so much space blank?” Zhou asked.
The master smiled and said, “Look again. Does the 4 part make you feel peaceful?” Zhou Xi looked at the painting carefully. The blank space did look like a wide 5. The birds were flying in it freely. Suddenly, she felt as if she could breathe more easily.
“Life is like this painting,” the master said. “If we try to fill every moment with work, study or plans, we'll feel 6. Leave some ‘blank space’—time to rest and 7 so that we can enjoy quietness and let our hearts ‘breathe’. Just as the empty sky in the painting makes the flying birds look freer, empty 8 in life make us more relaxed.”
Zhou nodded. She began to know that leaving room for nothing was a good 9. So she started to paint with more “blank space” in her works. Sometimes she drew a lonely mountain with empty air around it.

【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清故事核心脉络：年轻画家周曦原本习惯把画的所有角落都填满，后来从老画家的留白山水画中领悟到，不管是绘画还是生活，适当留空白反而能收获更好的体验。解题时每一个空都要紧扣上下文的线索、固定搭配和逻辑关系推导，不要脱离语境孤立选词义，比如后文反复出现的"blank space"、"fill every moment"这类提示，都能直接对应到前面的选项，顺着前后文的呼应关系就能快速选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 选C：固定搭配fill...with...表示“用……填满……”，后文提到周曦认为内容越多越好，对应她想用明亮色彩和精细图案填满画作的每个角落，其余选项feel（感觉）、fix（修理）、focus（聚焦）均不符合搭配和语境。
2. 选B：结合语境，此处指她某天前去拜访一位资深老画家，remember（记得）、miss（想念/错过）、watch（观看）都不符合人物行为逻辑。
3. 选A：后文提到鸟儿在空白处自由飞翔，对应晴朗天空里的鸟儿的动作是飞翔，flew是fly的过去式，符合场景，sang（唱歌）、jumped（跳跃）、walked（行走）都不符合天空中鸟儿的状态。
4. 选C：前文老画家问她为什么留大量空白，此处对应询问空白的部分是否让你觉得平和，empty和前文的blank直接呼应，full（满的）、beautiful（美丽的）、narrow（狭窄的）均不符合指代对象。
5. 选A：后文提到鸟儿可以在里面自由飞，说明这片空白看起来像广阔的天空，street（街道）、bridge（桥）、road（路）都不符合鸟儿飞行的场景。
6. 选B：如果把每一刻都用工作、学习、计划填满，人自然会感到疲惫，happy（开心的）、excited（兴奋的）、relaxed（放松的）都不符合该行为对应的感受逻辑。
7. 选B：后文提到留白可以让人享受安静、让心灵呼吸，还能引发观者思考，对应留出休息和思考的时间，play（玩耍）、dance（跳舞）、sing（唱歌）都不符合后文的呼应逻辑。
8. 选C：前文提到不要把每一个时刻都填满，对应生活里的空白时刻能让人更放松，seats（座位）、books（书本）、brains（大脑）都不符合语义指代。
9. 选D：周曦最终领悟到，主动留出空白是一个很好的想法，work（工作）、mould（模具）、part（部分）都不符合此处的语义表达。
10. 选B：带有留白的画作传递出宁静的氛围，会让观赏者感到平静、引发深度思考，worried（担忧的）、nervous（紧张的）、bored（无聊的）都和文章传递的感受完全相反。
