20、l day, he sat in front of a haystack painting. Every hour he worked on a different picture. All of these paintings are pictures of the haystack, but they do not look the same.

21、 haystack is an hour by hour record of the artistry (艺术性) of light.（分数：20.00）(1).There are many dots on an impressionist painting, which can _.（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：blend different colors together）解析：解析 推断题。在本文第一段里两次出现 dots 一词，即 you see little dots of different colored paints 和 the dots of colors b
22、lend together，这是人们在不同距离看画时所出现的情景，所以正确答案 blend different colors together。(2).Traditional painters were interested in _, while the impressionists were interested in（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：the form of objects/light and color）解析：解析 细节题。文章第一段在介绍传统画家和印象派画家的不同时指出 Traditional painters were interested in the
23、form of objectsThe impressionists were interested in light and color，由此可知答案。(3).What do the traditional painters fail to do?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：To create the feeling of bright and natural light）解析：解析 细节题。第二段首句指出they could not create the feeling of bright，natural light，其中 couldnt do sth即 fail to d
24、o sth。(4).Why the author said “Traditional painters worked inside“?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Because they ignore the effect of sunlight on objects）解析：解析 推断题。在最后一段中，作者继续对比传统画家和印象派画家的不同。作者虽然没有说明传统画家在室内作画的原因，但从对印象派画家强调在室外作画的解释中，可以得到提示：印象派所有的正是传统画派所没有的。ignore 和 neglect 都有“忽视”之意，区别如下：ignore“忽视，不理睬”，通常是指对那些不
25、愿承认的事情故意视而不见，是从心理来分析的，例如：Youve been ignoring me你一直不把我放在眼里。neglect“忽视，疏忽”，强调对于一个人或一件事没有给予足够的注意和关心，是从行为来分析的；neglect 还有“未做完或忘记做某事，疏漏”之意，例如：He neglected to write and say“Thank you”他因疏忽而未写信致谢。(5).Why does Monet work on a different picture every hour?（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Thats because sunlight is differ
26、ent）解析：解析 推断题。上文已经提到印象画派十分注重阳光对物体的影响，根据最后一段，特别是段末 different hours 和 hour by hour 可得出答案。二、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：60.00)More and more students want to study in “hot“ majors.
