一、完形填空(15 分)
(2025·武汉期末改编)Last month, my friend Mareya and I took an art class. For our final project, Ms Williams said, "Paint a portrait (肖像) of someone you know. Here are your art kits (工具包) with cloths, paints, and brushes. Work 1 ! I hope to see something different."
As we walked to Mareya's house, I said, "I'll paint you like the Mona Lisa!" Mareya crossed her arms and laughed, "You mean the Mareya Lisa?" She made a(n) 2 face, and we laughed so hard.
Just then, Jasmine 3 on her bike. "My family got a puppy named Ginger! If you come over now, you 4 play with her."
"Sounds good!" we both shouted.
Ginger was so cute that we had fun together. Suddenly, we found our art kits broken open. "Oh no! Ginger ate our 5 !" I cried. Jasmine said, "I'm so 6 !"
On the way to Mareya's house, I said, "I hope Ms Williams will 7 why we couldn't do our portrait project." "What do you mean?" said Mareya. "We're allowed to paint in any 8 . Let's just use different paintbrushes." Just then, she saw some branches (树枝) 9 she picked them up and said, "How about these?"
"Why not? Let's use these instead (代替). We can even finger paint!"
Our portraits looked very 10 , but we loved them. When we told Ms Williams what happened, she 11 . "Sometimes, the best works come from 12 ." Jasmine joked that Ginger should be our art 13 !
So, don't worry too much about 14 in art. Just have fun and 15 new things! Now, Ms Williams hangs our portraits on the classroom wall, and everyone admires how creative we were.
