Pablo Picasso, born in Spain in 1881, was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Picasso began painting when he was a small child and took advanced art courses when he was only fifteen. Between 1904 and 1947 Picasso lived in Paris. In 1947 he moved to the Riviera, which is in the south of France.
Many people thought Picasso's work was strange and unpleasant. Still, he had a great influence on artists in every country. Today, Picasso is regarded as a genius(天才) and this paintings are in the museums all over the world.
In 1912, Picasso actually invented a new type of art. He painted a picture, then he pasted bits of paper and something else on the picture. This type of art is called collage(拼贴艺术).
Picasso was not only a painter, he was also a sculptor(雕塑家) and a designer of scenery for plays. There are even some photographs of “light paintings” that he created. These paintings were produced by moving a light pencil, or a small flashlight in the air. Although the images could be seen only briefly by anyone watching them happen, the camera was able to catch the images as they occurred.
By the time he died in France in April of 1973, he had created a staggering(令人难以置信的) 22,000 works of art.
When Picasso was asked how someone could become an artist, he would reply, “If you want to draw, you must shut your eyes and sing.”

B
He lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were recognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved world fame. Today, Dutch artist Van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time.
Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003 "The Van Gogh Year" in his honour. And the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.
Van Gogh was the son of a minister. He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.
Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions(情感) into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes(绘画笔法). "Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use colour more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly," he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.
Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He relied heavily on support from his brother, an art dealer who lived in Paris. But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. His Portrait of Dr. Gachet sold for US $89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. "I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colours in them are attractive to people," said a Van Gogh's fan.

Seven Wonders of Our Modern World
The ancient Greeks often spoke of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Recently, some engineers came up with this list of the seven wonders of our modern world:
①The Panama Canal
The Panama Canal, begun in the 1880s, wasn't finished until 1914. It joins the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Engineers describe the canal as a victory of humans over geography. Workers dug a great deal of land and removed a lot of rocks.
②The Empire State Building
For 40 years after it was completed in 1931, the Empire State Building, in New York City was the tallest building in the world. Surprisingly, this 102storey building was completed in just 410 days.
③The Netherlands North Sea Protection
Works
The Netherlands North Sea Protection Works is another victory over geography. The Netherlands, which is below sea level, was often flooded by the North Sea and rivers. Then, between 1927 and 1932, a dam was built to shut out the sea. Twenty years later, dams and canals were built to control the rivers and completed the work.
④The Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge, completed in 1937, was also a hard struggle for workers. San Francisco Bay has very strong winds and rough waves. The Golden Gate Bridge is still the world's tallest bridge. It has enough steel to wrap(环绕) around the world three times.
⑤The CN Tower
At 1 815 feet, the CN Tower, in Toronto,
Canada, is one of the world's tallest freestanding pleted in 1976, the tower is used for TV and radio broadcasting.
⑥The Itaipu Dam
The Itaipu Dam, completed in 1984, goes across the Parana River at the BrazilParaguay(巴拉圭) border(边界). It is the world's largest gydroelectric plant(水力发电厂).
⑦The Channel Tunnel
Completed in 1994, the Channel Tunnel joins France and England. The "Channel" is wonderful work: cars, buses, and trucks are all carried through the tunnel by train.
84. Of the seven wonders, how many are tall buildings built on land away from the sea
A. Five. B. Six. C. One. D. Two.
85. Which of the following is right according to the dates of completion from the latest to the earliest
A. ⑦⑥①② B. ⑦⑥④③ C. ①②④③ D. ⑦⑤③②
86. Of the seven wonders, how many are directly connected with travel and transportation
A. Four. B. Three. C. Two. D. Six.
D
I used to think of myself as a person learned in books, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection only consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I couldn't ever found anything in translation. My reading was limited to stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing.
With no idea where to get those books, I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, so I decided to ask the readers all over the world for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing. People all over the world were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book lists. Some posted me books from their home countries. In addition, several writers, like Turkmenistan's Ak Welsapar and Panama's Juan David Morgan, sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works unavailable in Britain. Even with such an extraordinary team of bibliophiles(爱书者) behind me, however, sourcing books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK, getting English versions of stories was tricky.
One by one, the books from the countries on the list filled my heart with laughter, love, anger, hope and fear. Lands that had once seemed exotic and remote became close and familiar to me. At its best, I learned, reading makes the world real.
87. The author realized she was not a learned person when she found .
A. she could do nothing but read books
B. she had never been to Indian and Australian
C. she didn't have any translated books
D. she could only read simple English stories
88. Which of the following is NOT the help from people around the world
A. Offering book names.
B. Posting local books.
C. Giving financial supports.
D. Sending unpublished translations.
89. We can infer that by reading the books from other countries, the author feels .
A. bored and regretful B. thankful and pitiful
C. calm and peaceful D. satisfied and rewarded
七、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）
Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group. 90. Let's look at some different examples of body painting.
91. Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony take place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.
92. To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are on longer boys and are considered adults.
One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men. 93. Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful. 94.
As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.
A. Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.
B. Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.
C. The ceremony expresses hope for rain.
D. The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.
E. The women then decide which man they like best.
F. The men pretend to fight each other.
G. The men paint their faces yellow and red.

There are a great many of modern art styles, but without the impressionists, many of these painting style might not exist. On the one hand, some modern art are abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects like we see them with your eyes, but instead concentrate on certain qualities of the object, used colour, line and shape to represent them. On other hand, some paintings of modern art are very realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so difference. Who can predict how painting styles there will be in the future

"But surely you know who I am,even if I don't have my passport,"he said."I'm Johnny Holly-the singer.You've probably heard my records and seen me on TV dozens of times."
