Near the
16、 house where Picasso was born is a museum full of his art. Mlaga is a lovely city and the architecture is beautiful. I was amazed to learn that Picasso had an output of more than 20，000 pieces of art. He did not just paint, but made sculptures and worked with all kinds of media. He experimented with

19、是优秀的艺术家，我在想回去之后我也要开始学绘画。让我告诉你有关我们旅行的情况吧。我奶奶非常喜欢毕加索的作品，认为他是有史以来最伟大的艺术家，所以我们从西班牙出发，去了毕加索的出生地马拉加市。在毕加索出生的房子附近有一座博物馆，里面都是他的艺术作品。马拉加是一座迷人的城市，建筑很美。我惊讶地得知，毕加索一生创作了20 000多件艺术作品。他不仅绘画，还创作雕塑，利用各种材料创作作品。他尝试过多种不同的绘画风格，但尤以立体派作品著称。立体派常常运用锐角，在立体派画作中世界被呈现为由立方体和矩形构成。Of course, even though Picasso was Spanish, he lef
20、t Spain while he was still a young and struggling artist, and settled in Paris, France. So, after visiting Spain, we went to Paris. During our four days in Paris we spent one whole day at the Louvre Museum, where we saw the Mona Lisa, painted by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. He created this
21、work between 1503 and 1506. I was really impressed by this picture of a lady with a mysterious smile. By popular consensus， this is the most valuable painting in the worldit is impossible to calculate what price it would fetch if it ever came on the market. Besides being a painter, da Vinci was also
22、 an architect, scientist and engineer. He designed many new inventions, including a primitive form of a helicopter and a tank.Besides the works of da Vinci, the Louvre Museum has more than 6，000 other European paintings, ranging from the 13th century to the 19th century.

25、某事当然，尽管毕加索是西班牙人，但是当他还是一名年轻而又苦苦挣扎的艺术家时，他离开了西班牙，定居在了法国巴黎。因此，游览了西班牙之后，我们去了巴黎。在巴黎的四天当中，我们花了一整天参观卢浮宫，在那里我们欣赏了意大利艺术家列奥纳多达芬奇创作的蒙娜丽莎。他于1503年至1506年间创作了这幅作品。这幅带着神秘微笑的女子的画像的确给我留下了深刻的印象。人们一致认为，这是世上最有价值的一幅画如果在市场上，也不可能估计它会达到怎样的价格。达芬奇不仅是画家，还是建筑师、科学家和工程师。他设计了许多新发明，包括直升机和坦克的雏形。除了达芬奇的作品，卢浮宫还藏有6 000余件其他欧洲画家的画作，时间跨度从13
26、世纪到19世纪。然而，它里面没有任何现代艺术作品。现代艺术作品都被保存在奥塞美术馆。在巴黎的第二天，我们去了那里，因为我姑妈迫不及待地想去看看克劳德莫奈的作品。Monet was a French painter who lived between 1840 and 1926. His paintings were typical of a style called Impressionism. With Impressionism, the painter abandons the idea of representing things exactly as they look in a p

Altogether, he painted about 800 oil paintings and did 1，600 drawings. One of his most famous oil paintings is The Potato Eaters
29、，which he painted in 1885. Among his works, my favourite is Starry Night, which he completed in 1889. Unfortunately, although van Gogh committed his whole being to painting, he received little reward for his effort. His younger brother, Theo，acting as his agent, tried hard to sell van Goghs painting

34、的一名成员。凡高一共画了大约800幅油画和1 600幅素描。他最著名的油画之一是食土豆者，创作于1885年。在他的作品中，我最喜欢的是星夜，这幅画是他于1889年完成的。遗憾的是，尽管凡高全身心地投入绘画，他的努力所得到的回报却微乎其微。他的弟弟西奥作为他的经纪人，竭力推销凡高的画，但直到1890年凡高去世，他弟弟只卖出了一幅画，售价400法郎。如今，凡高的画每一幅都值数百万美元。明天我们将动身去阿姆斯特丹的另一座博物馆，那里最著名的是伦勃朗的画。他生于1606年，在1669年去世。我姑妈非常想去看看他创作于1642年的叫夜巡的作品。回去之后我会告诉你有关我行程的更多情况。致礼！李明A卷 阅读

39、h and what we found was an 80% increase in energy expenditure just as a result of sitting in the bath for the course of an hour.”This is nothing like as many calories as cycling for an hour(which comes out at an average of 630 calories), but we do burn 140 calories, the equivalent of a brisk 30minut
