Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Rembrandt was an extraordinary Dutch painter. He was most wellknown for his brushwork and the way in which he connected with the human soul. His life, however, was not happy.
He was born on July 15, 1606 in Leiden, the Netherlands. His father wanted him to have a real, learned profession but Rembrandt left the University of Leiden after becoming bored. He began studying art under a local teacher but soon left and studied in Amsterdam where he mastered all his lessons in six months!
At the age of 22, he moved back to Leiden and began to get his own students. One of his students was the famous artist Gerrit Dou. In 1631 he returned to Amsterdam where he became the most popular portrait painter in Holland. Rembrandt met Saskia and married her in 1634. She was a cousin of a very successful art dealer and she helped him to meet wealthy people who commissioned(委任制作)many paintings from him. He used her as a model in many of his paintings.
Rembrandt's private life, however, was very unfortunate. He had four children with Saskia but only one, Titus, survived. Saskia died in 1642 at the age of only 30. In 1649, his housekeeper became his second wife and was also a model for many of his paintings. Even though Rembrandt was very successful as an artist, art dealer and teacher, he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy(破产)in 1656. He even had to sell his whole art collection and his house to pay off his debts.
His unfortunate life, however, didn't affect his art. He painted many great paintings during that time. His new love, Hendrickje, died in 1663 and his 27yearold son, Titus, died in 1668. Eleven months later, on October 4, 1669, Rembrandt died in Amsterdam. He produced more than
600 paintings and over 2,000 drawings!
文章大意:荷兰艺术家Rembrandt大学还没毕业就拜师学画画,一生有2600多幅作品问世。然而他的一生极具悲剧色彩。
1.Which of the following is the reason that made his business fail?[来源:z|zs|tep.com]
A.As an extraordinary Dutch painter, he knew nothing about business.
B.He spent most of his time on art, leaving no time to care his business.
C.All his children but Titus died, which made him very sad.
D.Like other famous artists, he was thoughtless.
答案:D 细节理解题。由第四段中的“...he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy(破产)in 1656.”可知是他的疏忽、考虑不周造成了生意的失败。题中的“thoughtless”和原文的careless意义相近。
2.From the passage we learn that Rembrandt________.
A.graduated from the University of Leiden
B.began his teaching career in 1628
C.married Saskia when he was 22 years old
D.was good at drawing animals and flowers
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“He was born on July 15, 1606...”和第三段的“At the age of 22, he...get his own students”可推算出他是在1628年开始他的教学生涯的。他并没有从大学毕业,A项错误;他1606年出生,1634年结婚,时年28岁,C项错误;D项文中未提及。
3.How many members of Rembrandt's family died before him, not including his parents?
A.Four. B.Five. C.Six. D.Seven.
答案:C 推理判断题。第四段提到他的第一个妻子与三个孩子辞世,第五段提到他的27岁的儿子Titus和第二个妻子也去世了,总共6个家人在他之前去世。
4.What's the best title for this passage?
A.A brief biography of Rembrandt
B.A great Dutch painter[来源:Zxxk.Com]
C.The greatest painter in the world
D.Rembrandt's unhappy family
答案:A 主旨大意题。本文按时间顺序简单介绍了Rembrandt的成长、事业、家庭等,也就是他一个简单的“传记”,故A项作为本文标题最合适。[来源:中&教&网z&z&s&tep]

The greatest artistic creative geniuses I've ever seen, have been those who can turn garbage into art. Not just gluing together junk, but really making waste into something unique, cool, and well, something you'd put into your home for instance. There's something to be said about
recycling of those items we commonly throw away.
The ability to take trash and garbage and turn it into art, or something intriguing that is fascinating to look at is a skill all of its own. I have often said that the tree geniuses of our time, that is to say the creative genius artists of our era are those who can do this, create art that can command a high price tag from junk. Over the years while traveling through the United States I had stopped into museums in many parts of the country.
Some of the best art I've ever seen in my life has come from garbage, trash, or junk that has been reworked and recycled into something spectacular. Best of all the artists don't spend much on material costs, therefore it is mostly profitable. In fact they are using their minds to do a lot with very little. Just think if we all used our minds to do this, how little we might actually throw away, and how more efficiently we could run our factories, production, and even households.
After all, anything that is not used is waste, and it is thrown away. It ends up in a landfill, or a dump somewhere, and eventually it decays in the soil, causing perhaps ground water pollution. However, if we can rework these items for a couple of more rounds, and waste less, then we are providing efficiency for our civilization, and that's a good thing. Any artist who can do this is not only one caring the environment, but he is also one with humanity, and using his brain power and creative genius to make us all better.
