Perhaps the teacher put some of the students drawings on the board. Although everyone drew the same subject, some of the drawings probably looked different from others. Many of the artists put into their pictures some of their feelings about witches.When the famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso went to the art school, he and his classmates painted the same subjects. They drew trees, flowers, and people. They made sketches of the sea and of buildings. Many of their paintings looked alike.Picasso discovered many things about painting in school. He studied the works of famous artists and learned from them. But he was beginning to express himself in his own way. In time, his paintings were so different that they could be picked out from the drawings of the other artists. He had developed a style of his own.It has been said that Picasso never set out to paint carrying his easel (画架) and paintbrushes (画笔). When he felt like painting, he painted, even if it was the middle of the night. Sometimes he made a quick drawing with his fingers or with a rusty (生锈的) nail he had picked up.He never painted an object just the way his eyes saw it, as if he were taking a photograph. But his paintings still had meaning to many who saw them. His art became so special that Picasso no longer belonged to the group of artists who thought and painted alike.36. The passage is mainly about _.A. drawing Halloween picturesB. Picassos unique styleC. painting in the middle of the night D. the life story of Pablo Picasso37.Why were Picassos drawings different from other artists?A.He always used the same colors. B.

Picasso started out by painting peoples photo-graphs.C.Different artists see the same object in different ways.D.Some famous artists didnt appreciate Picassos paintings.BIt happened to be a beautiful summer afternoon, and Mr. Phillip was taking a walk in the downtown area of Paris, capital of France.When he turned to a street corner, he heard the voice of a lovely French singer coming from a nearby restaurant. The sweet music attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it better. Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. Noticing the waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French wine.The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the table. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watching other people in the restaurant. There were three customers sitting at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that one of them was an American, one an Englishman and the third man was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three men a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.Out of curiosity, Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were going to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them took a quite different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his beer on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, noticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of the beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger noticed the fly in the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed (挤压) it carefully in order to save every drop of beer, then drank it up.39.

Architect Daniel Burnham designed the building.At the time it was built, Union Station covered more ground than any other buildings in the United States and was the largest train station in the world. In many ways, Union Station was a city within a city. At various times it employed a staff of over 5,000 people and provided hotel, ice house, first-class restaurant and police station.As train travel was the means of transportation for even US Presidents in the early 1900s, a Presidential Suite (总统套间) was added to Union Station. In 1909, President Taft was the first President to use the room and over the years many famous people were officially welcomed there. The last President to use the Presidential Suite was President Eisenhower.For half a century and through two world wars, Union Station served Washington and the US as a major center of transportation and the place for many historic events. On April 14, 1945, a train backed into Union Station carrying the casket (棺材) of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.However, the air travel led to a decline in railroad passengers, and Union Station began to fall into disuse. In 1968, the decision was made to change it into the “National Visitor Center”. The project opened in July 4, 1976 but failed to draw enough crowds to sustain its operation, and was closed in 1978.While Congress debated the future of Union Station, rain damage caused parts of the roof to fall down. Following three years of repair at a cost of $160 million, Union Station reopened on September 29, 1988. Today, Union Station continues to make history as the most visited place with over 29 million visitors a year. World-class exhibitions and international cultural events are hosted there for the public to enjoy. Private special events are celebrated in the grand halls. Even today, US Presidents still visit Union Station.47.What is the passage mainly about？A. Introduction to Union Station. B. Architecture in the US.C. Train stations in the US. D.
