People at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) thought that Picasso's painting The Crouching Beggar was painted on top of another picture, but they did not know exactly what it was.Using X－rays, they learned that Picasso had painted his picture on top of a landscape painting. Picasso turned the landscape painting on its side and used some of the outlines of the old painting when he made his new painting.The people from the AGO worked with scientists at Northwestern University.These scientists used X－rays in a special way to test the painting. The X－ray pictures showed more details of the landscape.But they also had another surprise.They showed that at first Picasso had painted his beggar with her arm out, holding a piece of bread, but in the final picture, he painted over her arm, so that all you can see is her coat. Scientists and people who study art are excited about this new way to use X－rays.It is much cheaper than the old way.The machine is also much easier to move around.Some people think that there are many other secrets that can be found by looking at other paintings in this new way. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家使用X射线检测毕加索的画作《蜷坐的乞丐》，发现了这幅画覆盖的另一幅画。 4．What is the reason why a time in Picasso's life was called his “Blue Period”？ A．His painting subjects.

Everyone knows that it is a good thing to practice drawing and painting every day.__8__ Daily drawing can easily become a repeated and boring activity that needs great effort; it simply occupies the busy life without any reflection or sense of purpose.If you can practice frequently with an air of relaxation and small achievable goal, you will find it more rewarding and enjoyable. If you produce frequent small－scale paintings, you will learn much faster.__9__ Of course, when you are producing so much work, the odd failure doesn't matter nearly as much either.Alongside developing your technical skills I would encourage you to study as much art as you can.Learn as much as you can about the paintings and artists that inspire you.__10__ It is likely that the paintings which inspire you will have qualities that you feel are lacking from your own.__11__ All these make a difference to leading you forwards.This journey is never－ending and a large part of what makes it all so richly interesting. __12__ This helps in several ways: firstly you'll know better when the work is finished, secondly it helps you keep clarity of purpose and thirdly, you can judge its success against your original aim.Of course, wonderful and unexpected things will occur as you paint, but these can throw you off course too.Thus do keep your focus as you go. A．However, how many of us actually do it? B．Produce works that are in line with people's taste. C．It's a good idea to start by defining a clear achievable goal. D．In this way, you clearly know what you like and what you don't. E．Imagine how much more you can learn from ten paintings than one. F．Drawing has many benefits and can improve our lives in a variety of ways. G．Besides, while learning, you will naturally seek out new artists and artworks. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章强调了实践对于绘画的重要性，并提供了一些建议帮助人们更好地进行绘画练习。 8．解析：选A　根据上文可知，画画需要每天练习，这是枯燥的，由此推测很多人都没有做到每天练习，故A项(然而，我们中有多少人真正做到了？)承接上文，说明了每天坚持画画是很难做到的，下文解释了原因。 9．解析：选E　根据上文可知，E项(想象一下，你从十幅画中学到的东西比从一幅画中学到的东西要多得多)承接上文，说明了画小尺寸的画带来的收获多，下文指出即使你在画很多小尺寸的画作时遭遇了失败也是正常的，你还是要在培养技能的同时去尽可能地多学习艺术。 10．解析：选D　空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文推知，偶尔的失败以及对绘画和艺术家的了解可以让我们更清楚自己喜欢什么。故D项(这样，你就清楚地知道自己喜欢什么，不喜欢什么)符合文意，指出在遭遇偶尔的失败时要坚持学习艺术，这样才能发现自己的喜好在哪里。 11．解析：选G　根据上文可知，G项(此外，在学习的过程中，你自然会寻找新的艺术家和艺术品)承接上文，符合文意，指出除了有些画作能够给你启示，让你知道缺少什么绘画品质之外，在学习的过程中你还会有寻找新的艺术家和艺术品的需求，以进一步为自己带来灵感，下文指出了寻求灵感是永无止境的，也是学习绘画艺术的快乐所在。 12．解析：选C　根据下文可知，要有一个清晰的、可实现的目标。故C项(从定义一个明确的、可实现的目标开始是个好主意)符合文意，说明了符合实际的明确的目标是必要的，下文具体解释了拥有这样的目标的好处。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
