Ⅱ 阅读
Claude Monet was born in Paris, France, on November 14, 1840. By the time he was fifteen, Monet had become popular as a caricaturist. Through an exhibition of his drawings at a local frame shop in 1858, Monet met Eugene Boudin, a landscape painter. Boudin introduced Monet to outdoor painting, an activity that soon became his life's work.
Monet was interested in natural light, atmosphere, and color, and recorded them in his paintings as accurately as possible. A striking example of his early style was the Terrace at St. Adresse, which contained a shining mixture of bright, natural colors.
Monet exhibited regularly in the group shows. His painting Impression: Sunrise inspired a newspaper critic Louis Leroy to call all of the artists in the group “impressionists”, and the name stuck.
Monet gradually gained critical and financial success during the late 1880s and the 1890s. This was due to the efforts of DurandRuel, who sponsored oneman exhibitions of Monet's work.
During the 1890s he devoted his energy to paintings of haystacks. In these works Monet painted his subjects from the same physical position, allowing only the light and weather conditions to vary from picture to picture. By 1899 he began to work on his famous paintings of the water lilies in his garden at Giverny, France.
Monet's late years were very difficult. His health declined rapidly, and he was almost blind. Besides, he struggled with the problems of his art. In 1920 he began to work on twelve large canvases of water lilies, which he planned to give to his country. To complete them, he fought against his own failing eyesight and the fact that he had no experience in creating largescale mural art. In fact, the task required him to learn a new kind of painting at the age of eighty. The painting was characterized by a broad, sweeping style and depended almost entirely on color.
Monet died on December 5, 1926, at his home. He once wrote, “My only merit (优点) lies in having painted directly in front of nature, seeking to express my impressions of the fleeting effects.” Most art historians believe that Monet accomplished much more than this. He helped change the world of painting by shaking off the convention of the past. By dissolving forms in his works, Monet opened the door for further abstraction in art and influenced such later artists as Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了法国画家Claude Monet (克劳德·莫奈)在19世纪80年代中期成为了印象派的领袖,他用他的一生来作画,即使在他视力衰退的时候他也没有放弃绘画。
1.Who helped Monet find his life's work?
A.Eugene Boudin. B.DurandRuel.
C.Louis Leroy. D.Mark Rothko.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Monet met Eugene Boudin ... his life's work”可知,Monet遇到了画家Eugene Boudin (欧仁·布丹)。Boudin向Monet介绍了户外绘画,这项活动很快成为他毕生的事业。故选A。
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Monet tended to paint haystacks from different positions.
B.The painting Terrace at St.Adresse reflects Monet's late style.
C.The name “impressionist” originated from Impression:Sunrise.
D.DurandRuel was so interested in Monet's paintings that he bought a lot.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“His painting ... the name stuck.”可知,他的画作Impression: Sunrise (《日出·印象》)启发了一位报纸评论家Louis Leroy (路易斯·勒罗伊),于是他把这类画家都称为“impressionists (印象派画家)”,这个名字从此流传了下来。由此可推知,“impressionist”这个名字来源于Impression: Sunrise。故选C。
3.What do we know about Monet's late years?
A.He failed to learn a new painting skill due to old age.
B.Monet made a fortune by selling canvases to his country.
C.Monet came across difficulties in creating largescale mural art.
D.Monet committed himself to maintaining traditional painting style.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“To complete them ... largescale mural art.”可知,他的视力日益衰退,且没有创作大型壁画艺术的经验。由此可推知,Monet晚年在创作大型壁画时遇到了困难。故选C。
4.What might be the best title of this passage?
A.A great artist—Claude Monet
B.Claude Monet and Impressionism
C.Brilliant achievements of Monet
D.The greatest painter in the world
答案:A
解析:标题判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要对法国画家Claude Monet的生平、作品及其创作风格和晚年生活作了详细介绍。由此可推知,A项最适合作为文章标题。故选A。
