A

The following four famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece — have stood the test of time.

The Amolfini Portrait

Jan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London.This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed.It is also an informative document on fifteenth­century society, through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.

The Starry Night

Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12­month stay at the mental hospital near Saint­Remy­de­Provence, France between 1889 and 1890.When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.

The Harvesters

The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September.Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting.The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.

Guernica

Guernica, a large black­and­white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War.The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti­war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.

[语篇解读]　应用文。文章介绍了四幅名画——从扬·凡·艾克的肖像画到巴勃罗·毕加索的杰作。它们都经受住了时间的考验。

1．Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?

A．Guernica.

B．The Harvesters.

C．The Starry Night.

D．The Amolfini Portrait.

解析　D　细节理解题。根据The Amolfini Portrait部分中的“Jan van Eyck's Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434”；The Starry Night部分中的“during his 12­month stay at the mental hospital near Saint­Remy­de­Provence, France between 1889 and 1890.”；The Harvesters部分中的“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.”；以及Guernica部分中的“Guernica, a large black­and­white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.”可知，The Amolfini Portrait是最早创作的画。故选D。

2．Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons?

A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

B．Vincent van Gogh.

C．Jan van Eyck.

D．Pablo Picasso.

解析　A　细节理解题。根据The Harvesters部分中的“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.”《收获者》是一幅木刻油画，由Pieter Bruegel the Elder于1565年完成。可知，Pieter Bruegel the Elder画了这幅描绘丰收季节的画。故选A。

3．What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?

A．It was painted on wood in oils.

B．It described the painter's life in hospital.

C．It wasn't widely recognized before 1941.

D．It was given away to the museum by a collector.

解析　C　推理判断题。根据The Starry Night部分中的“When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.”1941年，当纽约现代艺术博物馆从一位私人收藏家手中买下这幅画时，它并不为人所知，但后来却成了梵高最著名的作品之一。可知，The Starry Night在1941年之前没有被广泛认可。故选C。

B

I still remember that busy autumn evening as I hurried with my eldest daughter, Athena, to get to her classroom on time for parent­teacher night.We walked in and all eyes were on me.A few

adults quickly quieted their kids' whispers.A classmate yelled to my daughter, “What's wrong with your mom's face？”

Shocked, I started to explain my condition but my 6­year­old daughter looked at him and said, “It's my mom's birthmark! Don't be rude！” I was extremely proud of how she approached that situation.

I was quite young when I realized I looked different because of my large facial birthmark.I always thought I would be alone because of it.Being compared to Batman's evil Two­Face made me believe I could never find love, but I was lucky enough to meet my husband, who saw me for who I am inside.

When I had my first daughter, I was overjoyed, but I began to worry if world would judge my children.I also worried I might pass my condition onto my children; I didn't want them to grow up feeling judged.

Unfortunately, my facial difference has impacted my children.My daughters get disinvited (取消邀请) from birthday parties or sleepovers, or I learn certain kids are no longer friends with mine after their parents saw me at school.

When my kids were young, I explained how my special purple skin was rare, and we talked about acceptance and never judging others on how they look.When my girls kiss my purple­skinned cheek, I feel “normal” around them and their unconditional love.

With time, both my daughters have become my strongest supporters.Thanks to them, I've begun to feel more self­confident as I try to be a good role model.

Their worldviews are similar to mine: we see the world a little differently and with a kinder, more accepting heart.As the saying goes, your daughters will grow up to be your best friends.I know that will be the case for me!

[语篇解读]　记叙文。作者脸上有一大块紫色胎记，并因此感到自卑和困扰，但是她的女儿们鼓励她，无条件地爱她，这让作者越来越自信，也更加认同不要以貌取人的观点。

4．What happened during the parent­teacher night?

A．The writer came late.

B．The writer felt proud of Athena's academic performance.

C．Athena saved her mother from embarrassment.

D．Some adults whispered about the writer's face.

解析　C　细节理解题。根据第二段(震惊之下，“我”开始解释“我”的情况，但“我”6岁的女儿看着他说：“这是‘我’妈妈的胎记！别没礼貌！”“我”为她处理这种情况的方式感到非常自豪)可知，在家长教师之夜，雅典娜把母亲从尴尬中解救了出来。故选C。

5．Why did the writer feel worried when she had Athena?

A．Athena also had a birthmark.
