irsimilarities；after引导时间状语从句；which引导定语从句，修饰先行词similarities。[自主翻译]尽管这两幅画的背景截然不同，但在我离开奥赛博物馆后很长一段时间里，一直萦绕着我的却是它们的相似之处——这种相似之处在印象派的画作中随处可见。3．Theyemployedfreebrushworkandusedcolourstoshowtheeffectoflightonthings，creatingpaintingsthatwerefarlessrealisticthantheworksthatcamebefore.[句式分析]此句是主从复合句。其中employed和used是and连接的双谓语动词，toshowtheeffectoflightonthings是目的状语；creatingpaintings是现在分词短语作状语；第一个that引导定语从句，修饰先行词paintings；第二个that引导定语从句，修饰先行词works。[自主翻译]他们运用了自由的笔触，用色彩来表现光线投射在物体上的效果，创作出的绘画作品远不如前人所作的那么写实。4．ItisalsoworthyofnotethatPost-ImpressionistpainterswerenottheonlyonestobeinfluencedbyImpressionism—themovementhashadalastinginfluenceonmodernart，encouragingartiststolookattheworldfromanentirelynewpointofview.[句式分析]此句是主从复合句。that引导同位语从句，对note的内容作具体解释；beworthyofnote意为“值得一提，值得注意”；ones前面有theonly修饰，用tobeinfluencedbyImpressionism作后置定语；encouragingartiststo...是现在分词短语作状语。[自主翻译]值得注意的是，后印象派画家并不是唯一受印象派影响的群体——这场运动还对现代艺术产生了持久的影响，鼓励着艺术家们从全新的视角去看待世界。Ⅰ.阅读理解ANoartisthasaffectedmodernartmorethanPabloPicasso.Thethousandsofmasterpieceshecreatedchangedthewaypeoplethoughtaboutart.Picassowasperhapsthemosttalentedandsuccessfulartistwhoeverlived.PabloRuizPicassowasbornin1881inasmalltownonthesoutherncoastofSpain.Hisfatherwasapainterwhotaughtart.Picassoshowedexceptionaltalentatanearlyageand，bythetimehewasinhisteens，paintedbetterthanhisfatheroranyofthelocalartteachers.Atsixteen，PicassowassenttotheRoyalAcademyofMadrid，wherestudentsdrewfromplastercastsandcopiedworksoftheoldmasters.Picassofelttheseassignmentswerepointlessandbegantoworkonhisown.Picasso’sfathersoonbecameangrywithhisson’srebelliousbehavior，longhair，andstrangeclothes.HebelievedthatPicassowaswastinghistalentandscoldedhim，“Whydon’tyoucutyourhairandpaintsensibly？”In1900，PicassoleftforParis—thenthecenteroftheartworld.Helivedinacold，run-downbuilding，paintingconstantly，sometimessurvivingfordaysononlyapieceofbread.Duringtheseyears，hisartreflectedhisdismal(凄凉的)surroundings.Homelessoutcastswerethesubjectofmanyofhisfairlyrealisticearlypaintings.AfterseeingAfricanmasksandsculptures，hisworksbecamemoresimplifiedandangularleadinguptotherevolutionarynewstyleknownasCubism.Picassodidn’tsellmuchofhisworksduringtheseearlyyears.On8May1995，Picasso’sAngelFernandezdeSotowassoldatauctionforD|S29million.ThenextdayBluePeriod，oneofhislaterworks，soldforD|S5million.Butheworkedcontinuously，alwaysexperimentingwithdifferentstylesofpainting.ThoughPicassolivedtobeninety-twoandbecamethemostfamousartistintheworld，hespokeofhisyouthfuldaysinParisas“thehappiesttimeinmylife”．Asamatteroffact，everyoneknowsthatinhislateyears，Picassowasinordinatelyfrustratedabouthisageanddeath—that’sinallhisworks.eq\x(语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名画家毕加索的生平和画作。)1．PabloPicassoshowedunusualtalentforpainting.A．inhisearlychildhoodB．inhisearlyteensC．attheageofsixteenD．whenhepaintedbetterthanthelocalartteachers答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，毕加索早在十几岁时就展现出了不同寻常的绘画天赋。故选B。2．PabloPicassostartedtorevealhisrebelliousspirit.A．whenhewasachildB．inhisearlyteensC．whenhewasstudyingintheRoyalAcademyD．afterhemovedtoParis答案C解析推理判断题。根据第二段第四、五、六句可知，毕加索是在皇家学院学习时开始表现出叛逆的一面的。故选C。3．Whatmarkssomethingofaturningpointinhiscareerasanartist?A．ThosemiserablebutfruitfulyouthfuldaysinParis.B．Thoserealisticpaintingsreflectingdismalsocialsurroundings.C．TheinfluencesofmasksandsculpturescreatedbynativeAfricanartists.D．Experimentingwithnewdifferentstylesofpainting.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第二段末句可知，毕加索在事业上的转折点是受到了非洲土著人创作的面具和雕塑的影响。故选C。4．Thispassagemainlydiscusses.A．Picasso’sCubismasarevolutionarystyleinartB．PicassoasarebelandhisartC．Picasso’slifeandpaintinginParisD．Picasso’sinfluencesonthedevelopmentofmodernart答案B解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了有反叛精神的毕加索的生平和画作。故选B。B(2023·山东烟台高二上期中)Honeybeesrelyheavilyonflowerpatternsnotjustcolourswhensearchingforfood，newresearchshows.AteamledbytheUniversityofExetertestedbeebehaviourandbuiltbee’s-eye-viewsimulations(模拟装置)toworkouthowtheyseeflowers.Honeybeeshavelowresolutionvision，sotheycanonlyseeaflower’spatternclearlywhentheyarewithinfewcentimeters.However，thenewstudyshowsbeescanveryeffectivelydistinguishbetweendifferentflowersbyusingacombinationofcolourandpattern.Inaseriesoftests，beesrarelyignoredpattern，suggestingcolouralonedoesnotleadthemtoflowers.Thismayhelptoexplainwhysomecoloursthatarevisibletobeesarerarelyproducedbyflowersinnature.“Westudiedalargeamountofdataonplantsandbeebehaviour，”saidProfessorNatalieHempel，fromCentreforResearchinAnimalBehaviour.“Bytrainingandtestingbeesusingman-madepatternsofshapeandcolour，wefoundtheyreliedflexiblyontheirabilitytoseebothoftheseelements.Showinghowinsectsseecolourandlearncolourpatternsisimportanttounderstandhowpollinators(传粉者)may，ormaynot，createevolutionary‘pressures’onthecoloursandpatternsthatflowershaveevolved(进化)．Ourfindingssuggestthatflowersdon’tneedtoevolvetoomanydifferentflowercolours，becausetheycanusepatternstovarytheirdisplayssobeescantellthemapartfromotherflowers.”Onetypicalfeatureidentifiedinthestudyisthattheoutsideedgesofflowersusuallycontraststronglywiththeplant’sleaveswhilethecentreoftheflowerdoesnothavesuchastrongcontrastwiththeleafcolour.Thiscoul
