23、l.It is a work of art.”可知,约翰汉考克的签名得到了高度评价,200 多年后仍被一家同名保险公司用做标识。3.B 词义猜测题。由上下文可知,受预算的影响,学校常放弃音乐和艺术课,却保留危险的足球课。如果草书成为另外一个课程牺牲品,那对学生会是一大损失。故画线词的意思应该是“放弃”。4.C 推理判断题。由最后一段“Thank you,Mrs.Shaw,for seeing so much in my handwriting.I needed that push.”可推断 ,老师表扬作者的话令作者很受鼓舞。.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者上大二期间,跟着一位国际大师学
