解析：

(1)	從第5空白處前的Although he was Spanish，看出畢加索是西班牙人。
(2)	從“art”的引號看出此處是比喻意義，“今天，畢加索意味著藝術”。說明畢加索成了藝術的化身，排除A項。
(3)	根據(jù)動詞draw和oils看出“怎樣用油彩繪畫”，oil加s，表示繪畫中的油彩。in表示用某種材料繪畫、涂抹等。
(4)	此處that引導一個定語從句，在從句中，that代替the schools，作taught at的賓語, 介詞at不能丟，B項有很大的干擾作用。
(5)	空白處后有三個事物，很容易選A項，among后賓語應該是復數(shù)形式；between和and連用；beyond表示“在……之外”；根據(jù)or，此處選B項，構(gòu)成“either…or…”，表示每兩個之間。either…or…與no, not或never連用，表示全部否定。
(6)	從下文的He had four children by three different women, two wives and many lovers．看出此處是私生活，private“私人的，私自的”。
(7)	根據(jù)different看出，他的3個孩子是由不同的女人所生的，此處by表示由某人所生。
(8)	畢加索和Jacqueline Roque呆在一起直到畢加索生命的結(jié)束，until表示某個動作持續(xù)到某個時間；介詞to和from搭配，構(gòu)成from…to…。
(9)	從moved into a different style看出此處指他的事業(yè)的開始。A項是指生命的開始；C項是油畫的復數(shù)形式；排除A項和C項。
(10)	在這一段講述了3個時間段，一是at the beginning；二是when he started；三是此空白處。從he developed his works into the famous style which is known as “Cubism”，看出這是頂峰時期，應該填入“最后”之意。A項，偶然地；B項，坦率地；D項，幸運地。
(11)	畢加索是個多面手，also表明他還有兩項絕活，一是空白處；二是poetry, poetry是詩的總稱。D項“詩”與poetry重復；C項與上文的paintings重復；只有A項“雕塑”，與繪畫是并列關系。
(12)	此處構(gòu)成more than結(jié)構(gòu)，畢加索聞名于世，堪稱繪畫大師，不可能用fewer than“少于”，C項修飾比較級。
(13)	從下文的in 1909，以及下一段的The Cubism Movement Started with Picasso and Braque…spread rapidly到第19空白處，看出此處是指二十世紀早期，應填early。
(14)	由上一句His paintings in the cubist style可看出cubist style是他創(chuàng)造的，以前不存在，因此用invent; A項表示發(fā)現(xiàn)以前丟失的東西；C項指搜查某個地方；D項“保護”，與此處無關。
(15)	由into small pieces看出把某物割成碎片，填dividing; A項表示把幾個獨立的個體隔離開；B項“切斷……的去路”；C項“扔”，均與題意不符。
(16)	此處they指畢加索和他的同事。從used brown colors看出主語應該是人，與上文with a colleague呼應。
(17)	從rapidly among the artists看出此空白處應該填謂語動詞，spread的過去式，過去分詞同原形一樣；A項拼寫錯；spread rapidly among the artists，“迅速在藝術家們中傳播開”，已有介詞among，排除B項；D項是形容詞。因此，選C項。
(18)	由artists added看出，藝術家要添加一些東西，既然添加，那就是以某種原料作為基礎，再加上額外的物體，因此，此處填入extra。從文中in various看出排除A項；B和C項與various重復。
(19)	in the 1950’s“在二十世紀五十年代”。這是固定用法。如果認為works是被修飾的賓語，會誤選those或some。
(20)	這是一個倒裝句，only after his death作狀語位于句首，主謂要半倒裝。
