But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting，lie kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.Some of Picassos paintings are rich soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly, cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that？” And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes_he_seemed_to_break_them_apart_and_throw_the_pieces_in_our_faces. He showed us what the mind knew as well as what the eyes saw. At the age of 90，he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”21In the passage the writer wants to tell us _.A. about some pictures which have different stylesB. about Picassos style of paintingC. it is not easy for a painter to find his own styleD. that Picasso has not found his own particular style解析：作者意图题。本文作者的写作意图是介绍毕加索的绘画风格，“不拘风格”正是他的绘画风格。答案：B22The sentence “Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _.A. sometimes he tore his pictures into piecesB. he broke something he was painting and threw them awayC. sometimes he showed some broken pictures to othersD. things in some of his pictures seem to be in disorder解析：细节理解题。结合上下文看，该句介绍的是毕加索的绘画风格之一，句中“he seemed to .”说明“好像那样”，但并非真正撕碎。答案：D23Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”？A. Because he observed things with his eyes and mind.B. Because he looked young when he was old.C. Because he never stopped painting even when he was old.D. Because he never gave up looking for something new.解析：推理判断题。从文章最后两句话可知，毕加索终生追求完美，即使90岁高龄，也还像年轻人那样对世界充满着好奇，所以才被称为“the youngest painter in the world”。答案：D24What do you suppose the writer thinks of Picassos paintings?A. He doesnt understand some of them.B. He thinks some of them are valuable, and some are not.C. He admires them，including the ugly ones.D. He doesnt like some of them, but admires the painter.解析：推理判断题。从全文看出本文作者是毕加索的忠实崇拜者，对毕加索本人及他的作品给予了极高的评价，故选C项。答案：CB France has been one of the main pioneers of many forms of artistic expression throughout its history.

Among other important museums and exhibitions are the Muse d Orsay, where visitors can observe a collection of French art from the century, and the Muse Picasso, which exhibits amazing art works from this outstanding artist. The Muse Rodin is another great place to visit in order to enjoy French art and to observe some amazing sculptures from this artist. The relation between France and art can be traced back to as long ago as the Stone Age. Many art works dating from this period have been found in France and provide unique information about the culture and art of the world.

He was nineteen years old at the time. Viteks home was in Prague. He loved his country, but he could not stay there because the government wanted to put him into prison. “The government wanted total control of all art and music，” he explains. “We had to have art shows in secret. My kind of painting was against the law. The rock music that my band played was against the law. There was no future for me there. ” In Germany, Vitek first had to learn the language. He spent eight months taking lessons at a language school. It was easy for him to understand and read German, but he could not speak it. Then one night, he had a dream. In his dream, he started talking with others in German! The following day, he discovered that he could speak much better. Next, Vitek got back to his studies in art. He learned to restore (修复) old buildings such as churches and castles. He spent ten years doing this kind of work, and then he faced another_big_change in his life: He got a job offer in the United States. Vitek knew hardly any English, but he did not let that stop him. After all, he had a great deal of experience learning new languages. So he decided to make the move. Today, Vitek is a painter, an architect (建筑师), and much more. He is a man with a lot of energy. He works in his studio, he teaches art classes, and he manages an art school. He also likes to bring together people with different talents and abilities to do big art projects in public places so that anyone can see and enjoy them.

Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a_much_bigger_name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a schoolbus accident. Throughout the rest of her life，the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Riveras strong influence on Kahlos style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s，even in her home country. Her first onewoman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlos works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.32What does the underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?A. A far better artist.B. A far more gifted artist.C. A much stronger person.D.
