[教材原文]
First impressions
3 June
Paris, France
As a huge art fan, I knew exactly what I was looking forward to①[1]most about my trip to Paris: visiting the Musée d'Orsay. Housed in an old railway building, this world-famous art museum features② some of the best-known paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th century.
[1]what引导宾语从句,what在从句中作looking forward to的宾语
As I wandered③ through the Impressionist gallery④, I appreciated masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players. Even though I had admired them hundreds of⑤ times on my computer screen, nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on⑥ the real thing. While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so many amazing works, the artists who made the deepest impression on⑦[2] me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
[2]who引导定语从句,修饰the artists, who在从句中作主语
I could see from Monet's works that he was greatly inspired by nature⑧. In the last three decades⑨ of his life he painted mostly⑩ scenes from his garden. One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue Water Lilies, which I studied for quite a while in the gallery[3]. I couldn't believe it when I heard he did around 250 paintings of the same water lily pond , all in different colours and styles. It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene, he brought the pond's beauty to the canvas in a unique way .
[3]which引导非限制性定语从句,对Blue Water Lilies进行补充说明
Renoir, I noticed, preferred to paint scenes of everyday life. For me, the mostinteresting of his paintings is his 1876 masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette, which shows life in a busy neighbourhood of Paris on a Sunday afternoon. When I saw it up close , I was struck by the small areas of light across the painting, and the way the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together. There's so much going on[4], but so little clear detail. This effect makes the lively movement of the dance almost jump out[5] at the viewer.
[4]There's sb./sth. doing...表示某地有某人或某物正在做某事
[5]“make+宾语+宾补”结构
Although the paintings had very different settings , it was their similarities that stayed with me long after I left the Musée d'Orsay—similarities which can be seen throughout the Impressionists' paintings. Monet and Renoir, along with other like-minded artists, sought liberation from the rules of the old style. Everyday subject matter was the main focus of their works, as opposed to the history paintings that had traditionally dominated European art. They employed free brushwork and used colours to show the effect of light on things, creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before. To me, these techniques are the essence of the Impressionist view of art. Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene—just a brief “impression” they had at that moment , burning with vivid colours and light, before it disappeared.
The Impressionists' vision inspired a whole new generation of Post-Impressionist painters such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, whose works are also displayed at the Musée d'Orsay. It is also worthy of note that Post-Impressionist painters were not the only ones to be influenced by Impressionism—the movement has had a lasting influence on modern art, encouraging artists to look at the world from an entirely new point of view . It certainly left a lasting impression on me too!

第一印象
六月三日
法国巴黎
作为一个狂热的艺术迷,我非常清楚自己此次巴黎之旅最期待的是什么——参观奥赛博物馆。这家世界闻名的艺术博物馆设在一座古老的铁路建筑里,以19世纪印象派运动时期一些最著名的画作为特色。
漫步于印象派展馆,我欣赏着像《舞蹈课》和《玩纸牌者》这样的杰作。尽管我在电脑屏幕上已经欣赏过数百次,但当我终于亲眼见到实物时,还是觉得猝不及防,惊叹不已。虽然从这么多令人称奇的作品中很难选出一幅最喜欢的,但两位伟大的印象派画家给我留下了最深的印象——克劳德·莫奈和皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿。
从莫奈的作品中,我可以看出他深受大自然的启发。在他生命的最后三十年里,他画的大多是自家花园里的风景,其中一处风景就展现在他著名的《蓝睡莲》里,我在展馆里端详了好一阵子。当听说同一个睡莲池他画了大约250幅画,每一幅颜色和风格都各异时,我简直难以置信。令人赞叹的是,莫奈每次端详睡莲池这处简单的风景,都以独特的方式让它的美跃然于画布之上。
我注意到,雷诺阿更喜欢描绘日常生活场景。在我看来,他最有趣的画作是他1876年的杰作《煎饼磨坊的舞会》,这幅画展现了某个周日下午巴黎一处热闹街区的生活。近距离观赏,画面上遍布着小面积的光斑,人物柔和的轮廓似乎融为一体,我大为震撼。画上呈现的内容如此丰富,但清晰的细节又如此之少。这种效果使得舞蹈动作活灵活现,引人注目。
尽管这两幅画的背景截然不同,但在我离开奥赛博物馆后很长一段时间里,一直萦绕着我的却是它们的相似之处——这种相似之处在印象派的画作中随处可见。莫奈和雷诺阿,以及其他志趣相投的艺术家,都力求从之前风格的束缚中挣脱出来。印象派的作品主要关注日常主题,这与传统上欧洲艺术界占主流的历史题材画作大相径庭。他们运用自由的笔法,使用色彩来表现光线投射在物体上的效果,创作的画远不如前人之作那么写实。在我看来,这些技巧是印象派艺术观的精髓。印象派画家试图描绘的并非某个场景的所有细节——而是他们当时产生的瞬间“印象”,在它消失之前,迸发着鲜明的光彩。
印象派的远见卓识启发了新一代的后印象派画家,如文森特·凡·高和保罗·高更,奥赛博物馆也展出他们的作品。值得注意的是,后印象派画家并不是唯一受印象派影响的群体——这场运动还对现代艺术产生了持久的影响,鼓励着艺术家们从一个全新的视角去看待世界。当然,这也给我留下了难忘的印象!

令人赞叹的是,莫奈每次端详睡莲池这处简单的风景,都以独特的方式让它的美跃然于画布之上。)
[句式分析] 本句是主从复合句,it是形式主语,that从句是真正的主语,在这个主语从句中,every time引导时间状语从句,he brought...是主句。
名词短语引导的时间状语从句
某些表示时间的名词短语可以引导时间状语从句,常见的有every time, each time, any time, (the) next time, the time, the first time, (the) last time, the day, the minute/moment/second/instant (一……就……)等。
Every time I was in trouble, he would come to help me out.
每次我有麻烦,他都会来帮我一把。
(The) Last time I saw her, I knew that she wouldn't come here to live with her grandparents.
上次我见到她时,我知道她是不会来这里和她的祖父母住在一起的。
I was fond of living in the mountain the first time I came here.
我第一次来这里就喜欢住在山上。
(The) Next time you're here, let's have lunch together.
下次你到这里来,咱们一起吃午饭。
特别提示
注意区分是名词短语充当连词引导的时间状语从句,还是名词短语后接when引导的定语从句。
I still remember the day when you left me.我还记得你离开我的那一天。(the day是定语从句的先行词,when引导定语从句,在从句中作时间状语,不可省略)

3)(教材原句)Although the paintings had very different settings,it was their similarities that stayed with me long after I left the Musée d'Orsay—similarities which can be seen throughout the Impressionists' paintings.
尽管这两幅画的背景截然不同,但在我离开奥赛博物馆后很长一段时间里,一直萦绕着我的却是它们的相似之处——这种相似之处在印象派的画作中随处可见。)
[句式分析] 本句是主从复合句,although引导让步状语从句,after引导时间状语从句,而it was...that...是强调句型,强调的成分是主句的主语their similarities。
强调句型
强调句型的基本结构是:It+be+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分。该句型可以强调句子的主语、宾语、状语等,但不能强调谓语。使用时应注意以下几点:
(1)强调句型中的It本身没有实际意义,但不能用其他词代替。
(2)被强调部分指人时用that/who均可,其他情况通常用that。
(3)被强调部分无论是单数还是复数,It后的be动词均用单数形式,即is或was。用is还是was要根据原句的时态而定。属于现在或将来时间范畴的时态,用is;属于过去时间范畴的时态,用was。
It is Anne who/that often helps me with my study.
是安妮经常在学习上帮助我。
It was Doctor James and Professor Smith that were invited to give us a lecture.
应邀给我们作演讲的是詹姆斯博士和史密斯教授。
It was when she was about to go to bed that the telephone rang.
正当她要去睡觉时,电话响了。
(4)被强调部分如果是原句的主语,who/that之后的谓语动词在人称和数上应与原句的主语保持一致。
It is Tom that/who is going to study abroad.
是汤姆要出国留学。
It is the children that/who are making so much noise.
是孩子们在制造这么大的噪声。
(5)强调主语或宾语且主语或宾语为人称代词时,应注意主语或宾语的形式仍用主格或宾格形式。
It was she who/that told me about it.是她告诉我这件事的。
It was her that/who I saw in the street just now.
我刚刚在街上看到的是她。
强调句型的句式变化:
(1)一般疑问句:Is/Was it+被强调部分+that/who+其他?
Was it in Beijing that you knew each other
你们是在北京认识的吗?
(2)特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词+is/was it+that+其他?(该句型用于宾语从句中,应使用陈述语序)
Who was it that came up with the bright idea
是谁想出了这个好主意?
I just wonder what it is that makes him so excited.
我只是想知道是什么事让他如此兴奋。
(3)not until的强调句式:It is/was not until...+that+其他。
It was not until she spoke that I recognized her.
直到她开口说话我才认出她。
特别提示
判断句子是否是强调句的方法:通常去掉It is/was与that/who,剩余部分若结构完整、句意明确,则为强调句,否则便不是。
It was because of bad weather that the football match had to be put off.
正是因为坏天气,足球比赛不得不推迟。
(这里把It was和that去掉后,句子为“Because of bad weather the football match had to be put off”,句意完整,符合语法结构,所以这是强调句。)

[教材原文]
First impressions
3 June
Paris, France
As a huge art fan, I knew exactly what I was looking forward to①[1]most about my trip to Paris: visiting the Musée d'Orsay. Housed in an old railway building, this world-famous art museum features② some of the best-known paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th century.
[1]what引导宾语从句,what在从句中作looking forward to的宾语
As I wandered③ through the Impressionist gallery④, I appreciated masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players. Even though I had admired them hundreds of⑤ times on my computer screen, nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on⑥ the real thing. While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so many amazing works, the artists who made the deepest impression on⑦[2] me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
[2]who引导定语从句,修饰the artists, who在从句中作主语
I could see from Monet's works that he was greatly inspired by nature⑧. In the last three decades⑨ of his life he painted mostly⑩ scenes from his garden. One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue Water Lilies, which I studied for quite a while in the gallery[3]. I couldn't believe it when I heard he did around 250 paintings of the same water lily pond , all in different colours and styles. It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene, he brought the pond's beauty to the canvas in a unique way .
[3]which引导非限制性定语从句,对Blue Water Lilies进行补充说明
Renoir, I noticed, preferred to paint scenes of everyday life. For me, the mostinteresting of his paintings is his 1876 masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette, which shows life in a busy neighbourhood of Paris on a Sunday afternoon. When I saw it up close , I was struck by the small areas of light across the painting, and the way the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together. There's so much going on[4], but so little clear detail. This effect makes the lively movement of the dance almost jump out[5] at the viewer.
[4]There's sb./sth. doing...表示某地有某人或某物正在做某事
[5]“make+宾语+宾补”结构
Although the paintings had very different settings , it was their similarities that stayed with me long after I left the Musée d'Orsay—similarities which can be seen throughout the Impressionists' paintings. Monet and Renoir, along with other like-minded artists, sought liberation from the rules of the old style. Everyday subject matter was the main focus of their works, as opposed to the history paintings that had traditionally dominated European art.
They employed free brushwork and used colours to show the effect of light on things, creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before. To me, these techniques are the essence of the Impressionist view of art. Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene—just a brief “impression” they had at that moment , burning with vivid colours and light, before it disappeared.
The Impressionists' vision inspired a whole new generation of Post-Impressionist painters such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, whose works are also displayed at the Musée d'Orsay. It is also worthy of note that Post-Impressionist painters were not the only ones to be influenced by Impressionism—the movement has had a lasting influence on modern art, encouraging artists to look at the world from an entirely new point of view . It certainly left a lasting impression on me too!

第一印象
六月三日
法国巴黎
作为一个狂热的艺术迷,我非常清楚自己此次巴黎之旅最期待的是什么——参观奥赛博物馆。这家世界闻名的艺术博物馆设在一座古老的铁路建筑里,以19世纪印象派运动时期一些最著名的画作为特色。
漫步于印象派展馆,我欣赏着像《舞蹈课》和《玩纸牌者》这样的杰作。尽管我在电脑屏幕上已经欣赏过数百次,但当我终于亲眼见到实物时,还是觉得猝不及防,惊叹不已。虽然从这么多令人称奇的作品中很难选出一幅最喜欢的,但两位伟大的印象派画家给我留下了最深的印象——克劳德·莫奈和皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿。
从莫奈的作品中,我可以看出他深受大自然的启发。在他生命的最后三十年里,他画的大多是自家花园里的风景,其中一处风景就展现在他著名的《蓝睡莲》里,我在展馆里端详了好一阵子。
当听说同一个睡莲池他画了大约250幅画,每一幅颜色和风格都各异时,我简直难以置信。令人赞叹的是,莫奈每次端详睡莲池这处简单的风景,都以独特的方式让它的美跃然于画布之上。
我注意到,雷诺阿更喜欢描绘日常生活场景。在我看来,他最有趣的画作是他1876年的杰作《煎饼磨坊的舞会》,这幅画展现了某个周日下午巴黎一处热闹街区的生活。近距离观赏,画面上遍布着小面积的光斑,人物柔和的轮廓似乎融为一体,我大为震撼。画上呈现的内容如此丰富,但清晰的细节又如此之少。这种效果使得舞蹈动作活灵活现,引人注目。
尽管这两幅画的背景截然不同,但在我离开奥赛博物馆后很长一段时间里,一直萦绕着我的却是它们的相似之处——这种相似之处在印象派的画作中随处可见。莫奈和雷诺阿,以及其他志趣相投的艺术家,都力求从之前风格的束缚中挣脱出来。印象派的作品主要关注日常主题,这与传统上欧洲艺术界占主流的历史题材画作大相径庭。他们运用自由的笔法,使用色彩来表现光线投射在物体上的效果,创作的画远不如前人之作那么写实。在我看来,这些技巧是印象派艺术观的精髓。印象派画家试图描绘的并非某个场景的所有细节——而是他们当时产生的瞬间“印象”,在它消失之前,迸发着鲜明的光彩。
印象派的远见卓识启发了新一代的后印象派画家,如文森特·凡·高和保罗·高更,奥赛博物馆也展出他们的作品。值得注意的是,后印象派画家并不是唯一受印象派影响的群体——这场运动还对现代艺术产生了持久的影响,鼓励着艺术家们从一个全新的视角去看待世界。当然,这也给我留下了难忘的印象!

[句式分析]
本句是主从复合句,although引导让步状语从句,after引导时间状语从句,而it was...that...是强调句型,强调的成分是主句的主语their similarities。
强调句型
强调句型的基本结构是:It+be+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分。该句型可以强调句子的主语、宾语、状语等,但不能强调谓语。使用时应注意以下几点:
(1)强调句型中的It本身没有实际意义,但不能用其他词代替。
(2)被强调部分指人时用that/who均可,其他情况通常用that。
(3)被强调部分无论是单数还是复数,It后的be动词均用单数形式,即is或was。用is还是was要根据原句的时态而定。属于现在或将来时间范畴的时态,用is;属于过去时间范畴的时态,用was。
It is Anne who/that often helps me with my study.
是安妮经常在学习上帮助我。
It was Doctor James and Professor Smith that were invited to give us a lecture.
应邀给我们作演讲的是詹姆斯博士和史密斯教授。
It was when she was about to go to bed that the telephone rang.
正当她要去睡觉时,电话响了。
(4)被强调部分如果是原句的主语,who/that之后的谓语动词在人称和数上应与原句的主语保持一致。
It is Tom that/who is going to study abroad.
是汤姆要出国留学。
It is the children that/who are making so much noise.
是孩子们在制造这么大的噪声。
(5)强调主语或宾语且主语或宾语为人称代词时,应注意主语或宾语的形式仍用主格或宾格形式。
It was she who/that told me about it.是她告诉我这件事的。
It was her that/who I saw in the street just now.
我刚刚在街上看到的是她。
强调句型的句式变化:
(1)一般疑问句:Is/Was it+被强调部分+that/who+其他?
Was it in Beijing that you knew each other
你们是在北京认识的吗?
(2)特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词+is/was it+that+其他?(该句型用于宾语从句中,应使用陈述语序)
Who was it that came up with the bright idea
是谁想出了这个好主意?
⑩I just wonder what it is that makes him so excited.
我只是想知道是什么事让他如此兴奋。
(3)not until的强调句式:It is/was not until...+that+其他。
It was not until she spoke that I recognized her.
直到她开口说话我才认出她。
特别提示
判断句子是否是强调句的方法:通常去掉It is/was与that/who,剩余部分若结构完整、句意明确,则为强调句,否则便不是。
It was because of bad weather that the football match had to be put off.
正是因为坏天气,足球比赛不得不推迟。
(这里把It was和that去掉后,句子为“Because of bad weather the football match had to be put off”,句意完整,符合语法结构,所以这是强调句。)

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
A
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet (字母表). The Egyptians used to record information and tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried (埋葬). For the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.
These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.

Chinese painting, also known as the traditional national painting, one of the traditional paintings with a long history, has its unique and independent system. Using brushes, ink, and Chinese pigments (颜料), a painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk. The traditional subjects are figures, landscapes, flowers and birds.
In comparison with Western painting, Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics. After a careful study of the object, a painter can discover the rules of its structure, and then produce it by the mind's eye. It is not merely a simple copy, but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the producer, turning a natural image into an “artistic image”. The object can show the artist's feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in spirit, but also in appearance”.
Not all the objects are to be drawn on the paper, and much space is left for the imagination. The use of lines is important in Chinese painting. Clear, swift, sharp and changeable lines are combined with the push, point and press of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of tone (色调). Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting. Different ways of creating lines are used when painting a landscape, flowers and birds, clouds, and bamboos.
Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy are different branches of art stemming (起源) from the same origin. They use the same kind of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines of calligraphy. Though they are different artistic forms, they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings. They influence each other to create another artistic feature.

Some of Yellowstone's most well-known landmarks are its geothermal (地热的) hot springs and geysers (间歇泉), the most famous of which is named Old Faithful.
Last fall, Lisa and her friends decided to take a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. They arranged to stay at one of the park's many convenient campsites. For their camping trip, they brought their backpacks, sleeping bags, and a cooler of food and drinks. They set up their tents immediately upon arriving at their campsite.
During their trip, Lisa and her friends hiked the many trails (小道) of the park, exploring its natural surroundings. In the forest, they saw a lot of local wildlife.
Lisa was blown away by a family of grizzly bears, some gray wolves, and even bald eagles flying overhead. Unexpectedly, she seemed to quite enjoy being in such a great place. They were well protected. Outside of the woods, they admired the beauty of some of Yellowstone's natural waterfalls.
Since Yellowstone contains many hot springs and the world's largest area of active geysers, Lisa and her friends visited many different geyser sites. They even spent an afternoon swimming in Yellowstone's Boiling River. Of all of the sites, Lisa and her friends agreed that Old Faithful was the most impressive. Lisa and her friends waited patiently for the geyser to erupt. After about 40 minutes, a stream of boiling water over 100 feet tall sprayed (喷洒) from the ground and up into the air. Luckily, no one got wet!
