Ⅰ. 阅读理解。

Artemisia Gentileschi(15931653)
As the daughter of a painter, Artemisia Gentileschi was afforded access to the art world at a young age. Early on, she was in her father's workshop mixing paints and he supported her career when he noticed that she was gifted. As a famous painter of the Italian Baroque period, Artemisia Gentileschi did not let her gender hold her back from her subject matter. She painted biblical and mythological(神话的) paintings, just like male painters.
Angelica Kauffman(17411807)
Born in Switzerland, Angelica Kauffman was the daughter of the artist Johann Joseph Kauffman. She received artistic training while acting as her father's assistant from a very young age and copying the works of old masters as they traveled for commissions(正式委托). As a young woman, she also trained in Italy, where her historical paintings and portraits were well received.
Rosa Bonheur(18221899)
Like many female artists at the time, Rosa Bonheur's father was a painter. The French Realist painter is considered one of the most famous female artists of the 19th century, known for her largeformat paintings that featured animals. She showed her works regularly at the famous Paris salon and found success abroad in both the United States and Britain.
Berthe Morisot(18411895)
Considered one of the great female Impressionists, Berthe Morisot had art running through her veins. Born into a noble French family, she was the greatniece of celebrated Rococo painter JeanHonoré Fragonard. Her art often focused on family scenes, and she preferred working with pastels(粉彩), watercolor, and charcoal(木炭).

Enthusiastic travelers may have already heard of “regenerative tourism” along with the idea of sustainability(持续性). Whenever we travel—no matter where or how—we are leaving an impact on the environment and the world surrounding us. While sustainable tourism takes positive steps toward limiting that footprint in order for us to protect environments for future generations, regenerative tourism takes this idea one step further.
Regenerative tourism means “the idea that tourists should leave a place in better condition than it was before”. For example, when visiting a garden, each person plants a tree to further build the environment instead of leaving no trace(痕迹).
In a way, regenerative tourism involves travelers to be active in their acts of sustainability. Another great example of this is any act of cleanup. This is especially popular on major beaches and in parks where there's always rubbish to pick up and waste to remove. While travelers certainly don't need to join in a community cleanup while on vacation(unless they want to), the idea of being involved is very much the same.
Joining in regenerative tourism has personal and environmental benefits. Jeffrey Skibins, an associate professor in entertainment and park management, says, “Many tourists report feelings of deep personal satisfaction and a stronger connection to nature. Additionally, conservation behaviors enable tourists to develop lifelong learning around these issues and continue these behaviors at home.”
Regenerative means “to renew and revive”, which is exactly what many travelers are doing to help environments recover. Depending on where one plans to travel, there might be more ways to help than originally realized. By further encouraging damaged environments to be renewed through travel rather than being negatively impacted, we can slowly help to rebuild the world's most beautiful landscapes.

Ⅰ. 1—5 BCDAD 6—7 BA
Ⅱ. 1. As a huge art fan, I knew exactly what I was looking forward to most about my trip to Paris. 2. As I wandered through the Impressionist gallery, I could see from Monet's works that he was greatly inspired by nature. 3. It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene, he brought the pond's beauty to the canvas in a unique way. 4. And when I saw Renoir's masterpiece up close, I was struck by the small areas of light across the painting, and the way the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together. 5. Monet and Renoir, along with other likeminded artists, employed free brushwork and used colours to show the effect of light on things, creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before.
