The landlord’s mistake

One day some men were sitting by the door of a    19    in Baltimore when they saw a horseman riding very    20   . He was dressed plainly, looking like a farmer.

“Do you have a room here for me?” he asked the landlord.

Now the landlord    21    himself on keeping a first-class hotel, and he    22    that his guests would not like the rough-looking traveler. So he answered, “No, sir. Every room is    23   .”

三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

A

There are many opposite things, which cannot be united by many people. But, there will always be a chance to unite two different things in one work. The following explanation will tell you more about the possibility to combine painting and poetry.

Perhaps, it is not a new idea to tell people that they can actually produce the great work through combining the painting and poems. In this case, we can unite both things in two ways. The first thing is to make poems as the main inspiration to do paintings. It is also possible to write a poem after looking at the painting. That will be the great first recommended way people can look at.

What about the next idea to combine painting and poetry? In this case, we can combine both of them on the canvas. You can do a good painting on the canvas and then write down the poem on that painting. It is a unique artwork and will be a good example to be looked at. I do not know whether this kind of concept has been used before. But this is the quite great new idea for me. It will make people love painting and poetry at once. You will not need to read the poem on the white plain paper anymore.

A poem is a good work to represent a story or a thought. It is not too long and complicated. It is a series of words arranged in stanza (节) and lines. So, combining it with another type of art (such as painting) will be very good. You can get the message of the poem through the colors and "story" on the canvas. Do you want to try it out? All you need to do is to play with your creativity in making a painting with the right color composition and also the great words on it.

36. What’s the author’s attitude toward the combination of painting and poetry?

A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Bored. D. Indifferent.

37. The underlined word “canvas” in Paragraph 3 probably means 　　  .

A. walls of buildings B. pieces of paper

C. painting cloth D. computer screens

38. What function does a poem serve according to the text?

A. Making an artist famous.

B. Indicating the creativity of a poet.
