Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. It is said that everything his brush touched turned gold. But in truth, the value of his works could be worth more than any precious metal. Picasso created more than 20,000 works in his life, including two of the world's 10 most expensive paintings.
Between 1907 and 1913, Picasso and his colleague (同事) Georges Braque started a revolution (革命) in painting. Before that, paintings were like windows—they were painted to look as if they had depth. You could tell which objects were "close" to you and which objects were "far away". But Picasso and Braque didn't want to paint like that any more. To them, a painting wasn't a window to the world; it was marks and lines on a flat surface. Why ,they thought, should an object like a guitar be shown only from one angle (角度) A guitar can look very different depending on which angle one looks at it from. Their answer was to show all the angles. They broke the guitar up into pieces. Their style of painting is called cubism(立体主义).
But why did they feel such a need to change things Well, the world around them was changing, too. Science was turning people's ideas upside down. Albert Einstein's theory was proving that what we knew about time and space was wrong. And new political movements like the socialistic movement were on the rise. The world was becoming different; artists needed to start seeing and painting it differently.
The famous and terrifying painting Guernica (1937) shows the horror of the bombing (轰炸) of the town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. In the painting, you can actually see the sky falling. Picasso couldn't have painted it without the skills he learned during his cubist period. Breaking a guitar into pieces was his preparation for showing the world being blown to pieces.
1.What is the article mainly about
A. The high price of Picasso's paintings.
B. Picasso's difficulties in his career.
C. The popularity of Picasso's paintings.
D. Picasso's achievements in art.
2.In what way did Picasso and Braque paint after the revolution
A. They painted objects with different depths.
B. They made their paintings look like windows.
C. They painted an object from different angles.
D. They broke objects into pieces and painted them.
3.What caused Picasso and Braque to start cubism
A. Einstein's theory.
B. The changing world.
C. The rising socialism.
D. New political movements.
4.What does the painting Guernica show
A. The themes of Picasso's paintings.
B. The anger of Picasso at the war.
C. The preparation Picasso made before.
D. The artistic effect of cubism.

When I was a ten-year-old girl, my mother determined to lead us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what our mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend our afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as dreadful as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with our friends at the swimming pool
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Age who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum, things changed when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the woman's expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at the painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.
1. The purpose of the mother's plan for her children was to ________.
A. take them to visit the museum B. ask them to read about artists
C. introduce them to the world of art D. show them different painting styles
2. The underlined word "dreadful" is closest in meaning to "_____".
A. colourful B. terrible C. reasonable D. relaxing
3. On the last visit to the museum, the writer _______.

C. learnt how to draw good pictures D. showed great interest in Mary's paintings
4. What does the underlined word "it" refer to
A. The visit. B. The painting.
C. The museum. D. The change.
