1. 21 Max and Abby agree that in the art exhibition they are looking forward to
   • showing people their work
   • getting feedback from their tutor
   • talking to other students about their displays

   答案：talking to other students about their displays

   原文定位：I'm excited about letting my friends and family see all the stuff I've produced;Me too. Actually, I'm really keen to see the work of the other students on our course. I mean, it'll be great to see all the finished displays

   同义替换：「looking forward to」↔「really keen to」

2. 22 In last years exhibition, both students were impressed by
   • a set of metal sculptures
   • a series of wooden models
   • a collection of textile designs

   答案：a series of wooden models

   原文定位：Yeah. I can't actually remember that. What sticks in my mind are those ten wooden reproductions one student made, all of different types of transport, little cars and trains and stuff

   同义替换：「impressed」↔「sticks in my mind」，「models」↔「reproductions」

3. 23 What has Max decided to call his display?
   • Mother Nature
   • Views of Farmland
   • Seasons

   答案：Mother Nature

   原文定位：A lot of my larger pieces are views of farmland. That's not a particularly memorable name though. I've gone for Mother Nature in the end

4. 24 What does Abby think will be difficult about preparing for their displays?
   • having enough time to set it up
   • choosing which pieces to show
   • filling up all the available space

   答案：having enough time to set it up

   原文定位：I'm more concerned about how long it will take me to put everything in place

   同义替换：「think will be difficult」↔「more concerned about」，「having enough time to set it up」↔「how long it will take me to put everything in place」

5. 25 What does Abby say about the summary they have to write?
   • She isn't sure whether people will read it
   • It will be difficult to keep it short enough
   • It will be hard to clarify the reasons for her work

   答案：It will be difficult to keep it short enough

   原文定位：We've got a strict word limit to stick to, but I've got so much to say, it won't be easy to say it in so few words

   同义替换：「difficult to keep it short enough」↔「won’t be easy to say it in so few words」

6. 26 What aspect of the display will the students organise themselves?
   • arranging the lighting
   • inviting local journalists
   • providing comment forms

   答案：providing comment forms

   原文定位：One thing to do is copy a load of comment forms so people can write what they think of the exhibition

7. On the water
   • the realistic colours
   • the sense of space
   • the unusual interpretation of the theme
   • the painting technique
   • the variety of materials use
   • the use of light and shade

   答案：the painting technique

   原文定位：I liked the On The Water exhibition. The way the artist used the brush strokes in the oil painting to create a sense of movement was amazing

   同义替换：「the painting technique」↔「brush strokes」

8. City life
   • the realistic colours
   • the sense of space
   • the unusual interpretation of the theme
   • the painting technique
   • the variety of materials use
   • the use of light and shade

   答案：the sense of space

   原文定位：What I liked about the City Life exhibition was the fact that although the paintings themselves were of busy places, the display itself wasn't crowded at all. Perhaps the fact that the paintings were actually quite small was what created a more open feeling to the exhibition

   同义替换：「the sense of space」↔「open feeling」

9. Faces
   • the realistic colours
   • the sense of space
   • the unusual interpretation of the theme
   • the painting technique
   • the variety of materials use
   • the use of light and shade

   答案：the realistic colours

   原文定位：Yeah. I mean, painting people's portraits isn't a new thing. But what I did like was the way the artist managed to reproduce the exact tones of the skin and hair of the people in the pictures

   同义替换：「the realistic colours」↔「exact tones of the skin and hair」

10. Moods
    • the realistic colours
    • the sense of space
    • the unusual interpretation of the theme
    • the painting technique
    • the variety of materials use
    • the use of light and shade

    答案：the unusual interpretation of the theme

    原文定位：Mm, I expected that to show emotions, people laughing, crying, whatever. But it was about plants. You don't tend to think of trees and flowers having feelings;Well, I'm not sure they do, but it certainly seemed that way in the pictures. Not the most obvious choice of subject, that's for sure
