Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Born on the 25th of February, 1841, Pierre-Auguste Renoir was the son of a painter.Renoir took an interest in painting early in his life; his family moved to Paris in 1844 and encouraged him to frequent the Louvre where he developed an interest in the French Rococo style of Franois Boucher and the Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix, admiring their loose brushstrokes (笔法) and emphasis on bright colours.
In 1862, Renoir began studying painting under Charles Gleyre, whose other pupils included Claude Monet, Frèdèric Bazille, and Alfred Sisley.These artists would form what would later be termed Impressionism.Although Renoir experienced some success exhibiting in the Salon, for example his 1867 painting, Lise with a Parasol, he frequently struggled to gain acceptance within the strict structure of the Salon.Renoir along with Monet, Sisley, and Pissarro put on the first ‘Impressionist' exhibition.
The Impressionist painters often describe ordinary subject matter working en plein air(outdoors) to capture a spontaneous (自然的) moment.The style was characterised by broad loose brushstrokes, open composition and an interest in the effect of light.However, by 1878 Renoir had grown disillusioned (理想破灭的) with the Impressionists' emphasis on spontaneity.By the third Impressionist exhibition, his paintings, although still displaying an interest in the effect of light, presented a more carefully composed scene such as Bal du moulin de la Galette, 1876.
In the 1880s, Renoir travelled to Italy where he came to admire the structural compositions and underdrawing of the Renaissance artists, in contrast to the en plein air technique favoured by the Impressionists.The trip to Italy had a crucial effect on his artistic style, moving his work towards more classical conceptions of draughtsmanship (绘画才能) and composition, as can be seen in his Luncheon of the Boating Party, 1881.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir died on the 3rd of December, 1919.Producing over two hundred works during his lifetime, Renoir greatly influenced later artists, ensuring his legacy (遗产) as one of the most influential artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Located in the tropical rainforest of the Petén Basin in northern Guatemala, Tikal was one of the largest cities of the ancient Maya civilization during its Classic Period, which ran from approximately 200 CE to 900 CE.Although Tikal reached its height during the Classic Period, some of the architecture at the site dates back to the fourth century BCE.Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the Mayans abandoned the city around 900 CE.Due to the growth of the jungle, archaeologists did not rediscover it until 1848.The part of the city now excavated (发掘) is quite impressive.Approximately 3,000 sites have been uncovered and nearly 10,000 still need to be uncovered.
At the center is the Great Plaza.In time, other structures were built surrounding the Plaza.These include the North Acropolis and the Central Acropolis.The North Acropolis holds seventy slabs of stone, called stelae, which stand in a double row with altars (祭坛) set in front of them.Some are carved with images of rulers and hieroglyphs (象形文字).The Central Acropolis includes 700 feet of long buildings with many rooms, often called palaces.There are six temple pyramids, with the tallest one standing 65 meters high.
In addition to the towering temples and other unique architectural works, Tikal is well known for the carved inscriptions (碑文) and exceptional ceramics (陶器) found there.The Mayans engineered reservoir and culvert (排水渠) systems to help with the storage and usage of water.Another innovation used by the Mayans were sacbes, which were raised causeways paved with lime-based cement, connecting Tikal's ceremonial nodes.
Scientists are not sure whether war, disease, famine or some other reason caused the Mayans to leave Tikal.However, they left a part of themselves behind in the ruins.The city and surrounding area is now a protected national park, and visitors are welcome to explore the ruins.Much can be learned through seeing, touching and exploring this ancient city once inhabited by the Mayans.
