答案：1．C;2．B;3．D;4．D;5．B;6．D;7．A;8．A;9．B;10．C;11．A;12．D;13．C;14．B;15．D;16．C;17．C;18．D;19．C;20．C;
解析：

(1)	从第5空白处前的Although he was Spanish，看出毕加索是西班牙人。
(2)	从“art”的引号看出此处是比喻意义，“今天，毕加索意味着艺术”。说明毕加索成了艺术的化身，排除A项。
(3)	根据动词draw和oils看出“怎样用油彩绘画”，oil加s，表示绘画中的油彩。in表示用某种材料绘画、涂抹等。
(4)	此处that引导一个定语从句，在从句中，that代替the schools，作taught at的宾语, 介词at不能丢，B项有很大的干扰作用。
(5)	空白处后有三个事物，很容易选A项，among后宾语应该是复数形式；between和and连用；beyond表示“在……之外”；根据or，此处选B项，构成“either…or…”，表示每两个之间。either…or…与no, not或never连用，表示全部否定。
(6)	从下文的He had four children by three different women, two wives and many lovers．看出此处是私生活，private“私人的，私自的”。
(7)	根据different看出，他的3个孩子是由不同的女人所生的，此处by表示由某人所生。
(8)	毕加索和Jacqueline Roque呆在一起直到毕加索生命的结束，until表示某个动作持续到某个时间；介词to和from搭配，构成from…to…。
(9)	从moved into a different style看出此处指他的事业的开始。A项是指生命的开始；C项是油画的复数形式；排除A项和C项。
(10)	在这一段讲述了3个时间段，一是at the beginning；二是when he started；三是此空白处。从he developed his works into the famous style which is known as “Cubism”，看出这是顶峰时期，应该填入“最后”之意。A项，偶然地；B项，坦率地；D项，幸运地。
(11)	毕加索是个多面手，also表明他还有两项绝活，一是空白处；二是poetry, poetry是诗的总称。D项“诗”与poetry重复；C项与上文的paintings重复；只有A项“雕塑”，与绘画是并列关系。
(12)	此处构成more than结构，毕加索闻名于世，堪称绘画大师，不可能用fewer than“少于”，C项修饰比较级。
(13)	从下文的in 1909，以及下一段的The Cubism Movement Started with Picasso and Braque…spread rapidly到第19空白处，看出此处是指二十世纪早期，应填early。
(14)	由上一句His paintings in the cubist style可看出cubist style是他创造的，以前不存在，因此用invent; A项表示发现以前丢失的东西；C项指搜查某个地方；D项“保护”，与此处无关。
(15)	由into small pieces看出把某物割成碎片，填dividing; A项表示把几个独立的个体隔离开；B项“切断……的去路”；C项“扔”，均与题意不符。
(16)	此处they指毕加索和他的同事。从used brown colors看出主语应该是人，与上文with a colleague呼应。
(17)	从rapidly among the artists看出此空白处应该填谓语动词，spread的过去式，过去分词同原形一样；A项拼写错；spread rapidly among the artists，“迅速在艺术家们中传播开”，已有介词among，排除B项；D项是形容词。因此，选C项。
(18)	由artists added看出，艺术家要添加一些东西，既然添加，那就是以某种原料作为基础，再加上额外的物体，因此，此处填入extra。从文中in various看出排除A项；B和C项与various重复。
(19)	in the 1950’s“在二十世纪五十年代”。这是固定用法。如果认为works是被修饰的宾语，会误选those或some。
(20)	这是一个倒装句，only after his death作状语位于句首，主谓要半倒装。
