五、完形填空
“Karen, stop playing on the internet. Clean up the basement (地下室), and then we'll go to the 1,” Karen's mum called. Karen didn't think she was playing. 2, she was busy with a drawing programme. Still, she turned off the computer.
The basement was full of old boxes. In one of them, Karen found a(n) 3 painting. It was made of thick layers (层) of paint, with a black rectangle (长方形) in the centre. Who painted it? Why is the rectangle there? She thought about these questions on the way to the museum.
At the museum, there was a painting called Shevegen Sands. It had been in the museum for many years. People had always wondered 4 a crowd of people in the painting were looking at nothing. Then one day, a researcher cleaned the painting. He was surprised to discover a huge whale that had been washed up on the beach. The whale had been 5 under the paint for 140 years! Now everyone wanted to see it.
“Paintings like this show how artists changed their 6 while painting,” said Karen's mum. She thought of the black rectangle. Is there something under it too?
As soon as Karen got home, she began to clean the painting 7. Soon the rectangle was gone, but there was nothing under it. Karen looked 8.
“I have an idea,” Karen's mum smiled. “Why not paint something new in the place where the rectangle had been?” Karen took the job and 9 the painting for the rest of the summer.
“Now the painting is by two artists! You've made history!” Karen's mum said with 10 in her eyes.
