Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Pablo Picasso was an amazing painter who experimented with color and shape. Picasso wanted to find ways to paint emotions. His paintings opened people's minds and showed there were many ways to express ideas.
Born in Spain in 1881, Picasso learned to paint at an early age because his father was a painter. At fourteen, Picasso began attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Although Picasso did well, his teacher wouldn't let him develop his own style. So he changed schools. Though his new teachers praised his work, they still criticized it as being too different. Picasso made up his mind to express himself in his own way.
Disappointed with his career in Spain, nineteen year old Picasso moved to Paris, where he learned about abstract art. He started copying famous paintings so he could paint in any style. However, an important development in his own style came along when his best friend committed suicide (自杀). Picasso was so upset that he painted only in blue and gray. He painted the poor and the disabled. This is known as his “Blue Period”.
In 1904, his painting style changed again when he fell in love with an artist's model. He began painting everything with colors of rose, red and pink. He mainly painted artists during this time, called his “Rose Period”.
Picasso's style went through style change as he began to learn African art and geometry (几何学). Instead of painting with different colors, he used different shapes. His paintings made people surprised because they looked like they had been broken and put back together incorrectly. Everything was geometric and abstract. Picasso's new style became known as “Cubism”. Cubism was so unique that it became very popular.
Pablo Picasso is most remembered for his Blue, Rose, and Cubist periods. But Picasso never stopped experimenting with painting. His painting styles kept changing until his death at the age of ninety two.

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creatives.
“It's no secret that China has always been a source of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (时尚) shows.
In 2015, the China:Through the Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook, ” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are __ Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales, ” adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers, ” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways. ”
