If not Leonardo da Vinci, it might be Pablo Picasso (毕加索). Picasso (1881-1973) was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. He had a talent for drawing. Born in Spain, Picasso showed his talent at an early age. He first learned painting from his father, who was an art teacher. By the time he was 13, he could draw better than his father. He could draw and paint just about anything, and in any style. He liked to try out new ideas. People put his life and art into different periods. One of his most famous periods was his Cubist period. Cubism is when an artist paints things, like a bottle, from many different angles (角度) all in the same picture. So, you see the front, the back and the sides of the bottle all at the same time. In a way, it is a bit like having x-ray (透视) eyes. This new way of painting surprised the art world in the 20th century. Picasso has become an idol (偶像) to many artists nowadays. People say he helped us see the world in new ways. So do you want to see the art of Picasso? On August 14th, an exhibition (展览) opened in Shanghai. It shows 103 of his works. The exhibition will last until October 31st. But it will not be available to the public on weekends. If you are fond of Picasso’s work, don’t miss this great chance! 1.

To introduce Picasso and his life experience. B. To introduce Picasso and call for people to the exhibition. C. To show that Picasso still enjoys great popularity. D. To show the biggest Picasso exhibition ever. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. D 5. B 【解析】本文主要介绍了毕加索及毕加索的绘画风格，号召人们看画展。 1. 推理判断题。根据文中“Picasso (1881-1973) was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.”及“By the time he was 13, he could draw better than his father.”可知，毕加索在他13岁的时候，画画超过了他的爸爸，他出生于1881年，13岁的时候应为1894年，选项B错误。故选B。 2. 词句猜测题。根据文中“ Cubism is when an artist paints things, like a bottle, from many different angles all in the same picture. So, you see the front, the back and the sides of the bottle all at the same time. In a way, it is a bit like having x-ray eyes.”可知，在这种绘画形式下，你可以同时看到瓶子的正面、背面和侧面，强调物体的立体性，所以推测“ Cubist”意思是“立体派”。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据文中“This new way of painting surprised the art world in the 20th century.”及“People say he helped us see the world in new ways.”可知，人们认为新的绘画风格帮助人们以新的方式看待世界。故选C。 4. 细节理解题。根据文中“On August 14th, an exhibition opened in Shanghai. It shows 103 of his works. The exhibition will last until October 31st.”可知，这次展览开始于8月14日，结束于10月31日，持续时间不超过三个月。故选D。 5. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了毕加索及毕加索的绘画风格，并且号召人们看画展。选项B“介绍毕加索，并邀请人们参观展览。”符合题意。故选B。 B ① Throughout history, people have always looked for knowledge. This led to the creation of many important encyclopaedias. Ancient Rome ② The earliest encyclopaedia on record is Natural History by Pliny. He wrote about his knowledge of ancient Rome. Although many of his writings were true, some were hard to believe, like the Sciapodae people with one foot as big as an umbrella! However, Pliny never finished improving his work because he went to Pompeii in 79 A. D. to visit Mount Vesuvius and died in the eruption (火山爆发). Ancient China ③ From the 10th to the 17th centuries, the Chinese government asked many clever people to make encyclopaedias. In the 11th century, they wrote Four Great Books of Song to collect all the information about the new Song dynasty. In 1408, China completed Yongle Encyclopaedia. It was the largest encyclopaedia until Wikipedia came along about six hundred years later. Enlightenment Ideas (启蒙思想） ④ When printing became common, encyclopaedias grew popular and important. During the Enlightenment, a famous encyclopaedia called Encyclopédie came out in France in 1751. Editor Diderot wanted it to “change the way people think” and help the rising middle class teach themselves. Also, the ideas in the book encouraged people to question the king's rule. This helped lay the cultural foundation (基础) for the French Revolution (法国大革命). The Internet Age ⑤ As the world went online, knowledge grew, too. Internet encyclopaedias started in the early1990s. By 2001, Wikipedia came out. In 2004, it became the biggest encyclopaedia with 300, 000 articles. By 2022, it had 6.5 million articles with pictures, videos, and more, making a lot of information easy to find online. 1. What was the earliest encyclopaedia on record? A. Natural History. B.
