12、rtin Gayford, Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers, which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift. Years later, Gauguin himself painted some sunflower pictures.Van Goghs Sunflowers stand for his relationship with Gauguin. “I think he painted them for the joy of it,” says Jansen. “Van G

Whats more, Vermeers name is rarely mentioned in historical records and he left behind barely any other documents about his career or personal history.Very lit

Recent research suggests that the black, negative space behind Vermeers model was originally painted dark green.Much like other artists of his time, Vermeer enjoyed painting
21、 figures dressed in Middle Eastern clothes. As his model wears a turban(头巾帽), many art historians argue that the Vermeers painting shouldnt be considered as a portrait at all.

27、 two very separate activities, but in Leonardos time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies. 1 Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the d
28、ifferent parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct. 2Mathematics was also connected with music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described with numbers
29、. 3 More than that, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and he said that “without them nothing can be done.”“Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy,” wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the r
30、ules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas. 4 His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it into beautiful paintings and scu
31、lptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.5 His quick little sketches(素描), often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and a ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sol

38、lls of the yellow house he was living in可知,他画向日葵的目的是为他居住的黄色房屋内的被粉刷成白色的墙壁增添色彩。因此凡高1888年画向日葵是为了装饰他的房子,故选C。A项“把它们送给高更”;B项“谋生”;D项“向他人展示他的艺术天赋”。2.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的Gauguin accepted Van Goghs invitation.Van Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom where his guest would
39、sleep following his arrival that autumn.可知,高更接受了凡高的邀请凡高为那间简朴的卧室画了他最早的四幅向日葵画作的最后两幅,在那个秋天,他的客人到达后就可以睡在那间卧室里。句中his guest指代高更,由此可知,凡高把最后两幅向日葵画作放在了高更的卧室里,故选B。3.D推理判断题。根据第三段可知,据马丁盖福德说,高更对向日葵画作感到非常惊讶,他一再赞美并索要它们作为礼物,故选D。A项“很差劲”;B项“一般”;C项“很担心”。4.D推理判断题。根据第五段可知,凡高立刻意识到自己创造出了有价值的东西,出自他手的向日葵是如此与众不同。正如他在1889年1月对
40、西奥说的,尽管其他艺术家以画其他花卉而闻名,但向日葵是他的。这解释了为什么凡高的向日葵在今天如此受欢迎。由此可见,凡高对自己的作品很有自信,意识到向日葵会让他闻名遐迩。故选D。由第四段最后一句可知,凡高在信中说他作画的速度很快,画大向日葵也得心应手,故排除A项(凡高不擅长画大向日葵);由第四段中的He painted the Sunflowers quickly and with great energy and confidence.可知,凡高画向日葵时很快,精力充沛且相当自信,故排除B项(凡高画向日葵时遇到了很多困难);由第四段中的I think he painted them for t
41、he joy of it可知,詹森认为凡高画这些向日葵是为了从中获得乐趣,因此凡高当时是喜欢自己的画作的,故排除C项(凡高当时一点也不喜欢他的向日葵)。【高频词汇】1.admire vt.欣赏;钦佩2.brighten up使更艳丽3.modest adj.朴素的;不太大的4.stand for代表,象征 5.recognize vt.意识到;承认;认出原句After he had invited the French artist Paul Gauguin, whom he admired, to join his Studio of the South, he began painting
42、 sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow house he was living in, not far from the towns railway station.分析本句是主从复合句。After引导时间状语从句,其中whom he admired是一个定语从句,修饰先行词the French artist Paul Gauguin;主句中he was living in是一个省略了引导词that或which的定语从句,修饰先行词house。句意在他邀请自己崇拜的法国艺术家保罗高更加入自己的南方画室之后,他
43、开始画向日葵, 为他居住的离小镇的火车站不远的黄色房屋内的被粉刷成白色的墙壁增添色彩。B语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了约翰内斯维米尔创作的名画戴珍珠耳环的少女背后的故事。5.D推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的Even during his lifetime, Vermeers influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a painter and art dealer.(即使在他一生中,维米尔的影响力主要局限于代尔夫特,在那里他以画家兼艺术品经销商的身份过着还算体面的生活。)可
44、知,在维米尔活着的时候,他在他的城市之外并不知名。故选D。A项“他过着非常艰苦的生活”错误;B项“他不是一个有天赋的艺术家”可由第二段中的Vermeer was among the most successful artists排除;C项文中没有提到。6.B细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二、三句可知,由于他画中的模特戴着头巾,许多艺术历史学家认为维米尔的画不应该被视为肖像画。相反,大多数学者赞成戴珍珠耳环的少女属于一种叫Tronie的画。因此,少女不寻常的着装使一些学者认为戴珍珠耳环的少女是一种Tronie作品。故选B。A项“这个女孩特殊的表情”;C项“模特不清晰的手势”;D项“模特的背景画”。
45、7.A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的While it is impossible to identify Vermeers model, due to a complete lack of evidence可知,由于完全缺乏证据,无法确定维米尔的模特的身份。由此可知,这幅画的模特的身份很神秘。故选A。由最后一段首句可知,这幅画曾被称为戴头巾的女孩或年轻女孩,直到不到一个世纪前才有了现在的名字戴珍珠耳环的少女,因此目前没有争议,故排除B项“这幅画的名字仍然有争议”;C项“这幅画在一个世纪前被严重损坏”与文中描述不符;D项“这幅画的灵感来自这个画家的一个女儿”只是文中的推测,并未证实,故排除。8
46、.C主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了维米尔的著名画作戴珍珠耳环的少女背后的故事,包括作者的情况、该画作的类型和特点、画作中模特的神秘身份等。因此这篇文章的最佳标题就是“戴珍珠耳环的少女背后的故事”。故选C。A项“约翰内斯维米尔的人生经历”、B项“戴珍珠耳环的少女的模特”和D项“约翰内斯维米尔的画的特点”都是文章内容的一部分。【高频词汇】1.be limited to.被局限在2.earn a living谋生3.whats more另外;而且4.negative adj.缺乏热情的,消极的5.originally adv.起初;原来6.be considered as.被认为是7.note vt.指
47、出;特别提到8.existence n.存在9.due to由于原句It is interesting to note that the painting was known as Girl with Turban or simply Young Girl for most of its existence and only received its current name less than a century ago.分析本句是主从复合句,句首的It为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to note., note后为that引导的宾语从句。句意有趣的是,要特别提到这幅画在它存在的大部
48、分时间内都被称为戴头巾的女孩或只是年轻女孩,仅仅不到一个世纪前才有了现在的名字。.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。列奥纳多达芬奇将艺术和科学联系起来进行创作。1.B由设空处前两句可知,在现代世界,艺术和科学是两个截然不同的活动,但在列奥纳多的时代,它们是紧密相连的。科学意味着数学和医学研究。由设空处后两句可知,数学包括测量土地以绘制地图、测量天空中星星的运动等实践任务。艺术家可能需要测量身体的不同部位。由此看来,B项(那这些是如何与艺术联系起来的呢?)可以合理衔接上下文。故选B。2.G空前指出,他还可以使用数学方法在素描画或油画中把东西合理放置,安排多者之间的关系。从该句中可以提取两点信息:一是in
49、 a drawing or painting;二是place things。G项(你会在画作最后的晚餐里看到这种放置的绝佳范例)符合语境,故选G。3.F由本段首句可知,本段叙述的是数学与音乐的关系。由空后句中的More than that可知,空后句与设空处构成逻辑上的递进关系,设空处应体现列奥纳多与音乐的关系,因此F项(列奥纳多本身就是一位非常优秀的音乐家,喜欢演奏乐器和唱歌)与此意切合。故选F。4.E从空前的叙述可知,实践经验对他来说比观点更重要,由空后两句可知他的目的是考察这个世界,以便能够把它复制在自己美丽的绘画和雕塑中;他也想从大自然巧妙解决问题的方法中学习。由His purpose was.和He also wanted to.可见E项(最重要的是,列奥纳多想要理解事物是如何运作的,又为什么会这么运作)切合题意,故选E。5.A由空后两句可知,他的快速小素描通常是在外面闲逛时完成的,帮助他捕捉一个动作或一个形状。他会在桌子上用钢笔和尺子画出更细致的素描画。设空处在本段的开头,有总起本段的作用,而后文所说的事情都与画画有关,故A项(列奥纳多一直在作画)符合文意。【高频词汇】1.practical adj.实际的;实用性的2.scene n.场面;情景3.detail n.细节4.solution n.解决方法5.above all最重要的是
