Disappointed with the colours of traditional Russian art, he loved to paint with strong blues, reds and yellows. So in 1911, he moved to Paris, France, where artists from around the world were creating novel art forms and he acquired fresh ways of painting eagerly. He stayed true to his childhood memories. While others chose modern subjects, he painted scenes of fantasy based on an older, farmer-like way of life. Blue dogs, yellow skies and red trees were all creations of his imagination. Chagall went through two world wars and personal sufferings. In 1941, because his family were Jewish, the Chagalls had to leave France to escape the Nazis during World War Ⅱ. In 1944 came another blow. Chagall’s beloved wife Bella died of an illness. Despite the hardships, his passion for painting never faded. In 1948, he returned to France and continued to make his dreamlike paintings. 刷阅读理解 18 One day, during a walk in a village, he discovered a 700-year-old church, where he saw a stained glass window（彩色玻璃窗）that contained a green horse. It looked as if Chagall might have created it himself. Here was a sure sign, he thought, that he should create his own stained glass windows. Then Chagall devoted all his energy and time to the work. As we know, many stained glass windows are made of flat colours, but Chagall used various techniques to create the effects he wanted. He made flexible use of bright colours, putting light into the works. He painted images on glass, then had them fired to high temperatures, making the lines and colours part of the glass. Chagall created the stained glass windows for churches and other buildings around the world until his death in 1985.He gave them as gifts to the world and often refused payment. Today, people are still amazed at how his stained glass creations shine and change with the sun. 刷阅读理解 19 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艺术家马克·夏加尔的早年经历和设计自己的彩色玻璃窗的经过。 1.Why did Chagall choose to go to Paris?( ) A A.To learn new painting skills.

To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. There is the romantic idea of the scientist who has a eureka moment（突发灵感的一刻）and suddenly arrives at new insights. Another impression is that research only involves formal steps. Neither of those ideas is correct. “Science and art are two different ways to make something comprehensible or imaginable,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way. Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.” 刷阅读理解 25 There is an intersection between science and art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas with them about how to amplify creative freedom. Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, together with other scientists and artists, have designed a plan to learn from each other and to exchange ideas. One example is the recent and special project in which they measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular（分子的）sensor was used to visualise the different forces. They revealed the results in colourful images, each representing a different force. What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science.“It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the artistic process leading to discovery. As a scientist you are criticised if you say that something is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science, ” says Weijers. 刷阅读理解 26 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了艺术在科学研究中的作用，艺术与科学之间是有联系的。 1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?( ) B A.The purpose of science research. B.The views on science research. C.The attitude to science research. D.The hardship of science research. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容可知，该段主要讨论了关于科学研究的两种观点，一是“对知识的科学追求不是一个可预测和明确定义的过程”，二是“研究只涉及正式步骤”。这些想法都不正确。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 27 2.What can we know from Weijers’s view?( ) C A.The research process and the artistic process are totally different. B.The scientific process always unfolds in an unpredictable way. C.Scientists should have creative and associative thinking. D.The artistic process is too messy to be used in research. 解析 推理判断题。由第二段中的Science and art are two different ways to make something comprehensible or imaginable和But the scientific process can also unfold in an unpredictable way.Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.可知，我们能从韦杰斯的观点中了解到科学家应该有创造性和联想性思维。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 28 3.What does the underlined word “amplify” in the third paragraph mean?( ) D A.Detect. B.Abandon. C.Imply. D.Increase. 解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.和第三段中的There is an intersection between science and art.和look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas 可知，画线词所在句子表示科学和艺术之间有交集，这就是为什么瓦赫宁恩的科学家们从艺术家那里寻找灵感，并就如何扩大创作自由交换意见。因此画线词amplify的意思是“扩大；增加”，和increase意思相近。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 29 4.Why does the author mention Weijers’s research on plant cells?( ) D A.To display the beauty of colourful images. B.To stress the importance of thinking freely. C.To present the findings of his recent project. D.To show the connection between science and art. 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句There is an intersection between science and art.和最后一句They revealed the results in colourful images, each representing a different force.可知，作者想通过韦杰斯的研究事例说明艺术与科学之间的交叉融合，表明艺术与科学的联系，强调艺术灵感在科学研究中的价值。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 30 长难句分析 句意：有一种浪漫的想法，科学家灵光一现，突然有了新的见解。 刷阅读理解 31 核心词汇 1.predictable adj.可预测的 2.visualise v.使可视化；使形象化;想象 进阶词汇 intersection n.交点；十字路口；相交 刷阅读理解 32 [宁夏银川一中2024高二期中] Wang Pufang is an inheritor （继承人） of the technique for making handmade colourful lanterns.
