[教材原文]
The Starry① Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally② ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn't just paint the clouds. He also painted the massive③ circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath④ this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.
His unusual use of colour has led experts to⑤ think that Van Gogh's mental illness may have affected⑥ his sense of sight⑦. He also took a drug⑧ that can make people see yellow spots⑨， just like the stars in The Starry Night.
Unfortunately, Van Gogh's unique paintings weren't very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime. He also thought The Starry Night was a failure⑩. However, the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world's most famous paintings 【1】．
【1】句中that引导同位语从句，解释说明the fact的具体内容，remain是不及物动词。此句中，从句较长，为保持句子平衡，将从句置于谓语动词之后。
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear 【2】—the figure's mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream . The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer . This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange red sky.
【2】句中What引导主语从句；that引导表语从句
In his diary, Munch talked about what inspired him. “I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly the sky turned as red as blood...I stood there shaking. Then I heard the scream of nature.”
Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch's mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist Ren Magritte between 1953 and 1954. He painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds. It seems like quite a mysterious scene.
Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas. His paintings were visual experiments as he tried to play with reality. His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of reality.
The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers. Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling. Others, however, find them calming. As for Magritte himself, he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising. “I call this power: poetry，” he said.
[汉语译文]
《星(starry)空》是文森特·凡·高(Vincent van Gogh)于1889年6月在一家精神(mentally)病院里创作的。凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而，除了云之外，他还在天空中画了相互追逐的、巨大的(massive)白色和黄色光圈。星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片令人惊叹的夜空下(beneath)，我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗、孤独的树。
凡·高对色彩的运用很不寻常，这使专家们认为精神疾病可能影响(affect)了他的视力。他还服用过一种药物，可以让人看到黄色斑点(spot)，就像《星空》中的星星那样。
不幸的是，凡·高独特的画作在当时并不是很受欢迎，他在有生之年只卖出了一幅画。他还认为《星空》是一幅失败(failure)的作品，而现在事实是《星空》是世界上最著名的画作之一。
《呐喊(scream)》是爱德华·蒙克(Edvard Munch)于1893年创作的。这幅画富有冲击力(striking惊人的)，画中有一个表情恐惧的瘦弱身影——嘴巴大张，正发出强烈的尖叫声(let out a scream)。这个人捂住了自己的耳朵，直直地看向观看者(viewer)。人物被设置在一座桥上，桥下是漆黑的、波涛汹涌的海面，背景是燃烧的(burning)橙红色天空。
蒙克在他的日记中谈到了灵感的来源，“太阳落山时，我和两个朋友一起走在路上；天空突然变得像血一样红……我站在那里颤抖着，然后听到了大自然的尖叫声。”
许多专家说，《呐喊》与给蒙克带来(cause)巨大痛苦的心理健康问题有关。
《灯之王国(empire)》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特(René Magritte)的一系列绘画作品之一。1953年至1954年间，同样的场景(scene)他画了27次。画中有一座美丽的房子，房子里灯光明亮，外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是，在房子和树木之上，我们看到明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这个场景看起来非常神秘(mysterious)。
马格利特的灵感来自个人思想和想法的启发。他尝试戏谑现实，他的画作是一个个视觉(visual)实验。他认为艺术应该震撼观众并挑战他们对现实的观感。
观众对《灯之王国》的反应(reaction)不同。有些人觉得这些画看起来很黑暗，令人不安。而有些人则觉得这些画让人感到平静。马格利特本人则认为画作中白天和黑夜之间的变化令人惊讶。他说：“我称之为诗意的力量。”

A
Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition (学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68 year old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers，” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.

Do you know sand has been used to draw pictures since ancient times Today, sand painting (沙画), all interesting art，will be introduced to you.
Sand painting is an art of using sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sand painting as we were young. We first drew a simple picture, then we brushed glue (胶水) onto the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.
Unfixed sand paintings have a long cultural history around the world. People pour sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary (临时的). Different people draw sand paintings to express different meanings：love of nature, admiration for beauty, etc.
Nowadays, sand painting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stage, sand painting performers make a series of images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story.
Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sand painting performers in the world. Simonova said that she never dreamed she'd become a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, caring for a household by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the soldier is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry.
Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people. The art of painting is in our life, even in the sand.
5．Which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sand painting？( )
A．Glue. B．A printed picture.
C．Colored paper. D．Water.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“We first drew a simple picture, then we brushed glue (胶水) onto the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.”可知，在固定沙画的创作过程中，需要用胶水把沙子固定在画板上。故选A。
6．What do we know about Simonova？( )
A．She is the best painter in the world.
B．Being a sand artist is her biggest dream.
C．She once gave up performing for her family.
D.Her performances are popular with people.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonova.”可以判断她的作品非常受欢迎。故选D。
7．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about？( )
A．How sand painting is becoming popular.
B．Why sand painting is becoming popular.
C．How images are created in a sand painting performance.
D.What sand painting tries to express.
答案：C
解析：段落大意题。根据文章的第四段可知，本段主要讲述了非固定沙画的创作方法和过程。故选C。
8．The underlined word “persevered” can be replaced by ______.( )
A.set off B．gave out
C．held on D．ended up
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。前一句“and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up”说她差一点放弃，而后面又提到了她一边照顾家庭，一边练习并创作沙画，说明她坚持了下来。故选C。

[教材原文]
The Starry① Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally② ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn't just paint the clouds. He also painted the massive③ circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath④ this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.
His unusual use of colour has led experts to⑤ think that Van Gogh's mental illness may have affected⑥ his sense of sight⑦. He also took a drug⑧ that can make people see yellow spots⑨， just like the stars in The Starry Night.
Unfortunately, Van Gogh's unique paintings weren't very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime. He also thought The Starry Night was a failure⑩. However,__the__fact__remains__that__The__Starry__Night__is__now__one__of__the__world's__most__famous__paintings 【1】．
【1】句中that引导同位语从句，解释说明the fact的具体内容，remain是不及物动词。此句中，从句较长，为保持句子平衡，将从句置于谓语动词之后。
The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893. What__makes__it__striking __is__that__it__shows__a__thin__figure__with__an__expression__of __fear 【2】—the figure's mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream . The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer . This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange red sky.
【2】句中What引导主语从句；that引导表语从句
In his diary, Munch talked about what inspired him. “I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly the sky turned as red as blood...I stood there shaking. Then I heard the scream of nature.”
Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch's mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist Ren? Magritte between 1953 and 1954. He painted the same scene 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night. What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds. It seems like quite a mysterious scene.
Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas. His paintings were visual experiments as he tried to play with reality. His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of reality.
The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers. Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling. Others, however, find them calming. As for Magritte himself, he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising. “I call this power: poetry，” he said.
[汉语译文]
《星(starry)空》是文森特·凡·高(Vincent van Gogh)于1889年6月在一家精神(mentally)病院里创作的。凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而，除了云之外，他还在天空中画了相互追逐的、巨大的(massive)白色和黄色光圈。星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片令人惊叹的夜空下(beneath)，我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗、孤独的树。
凡·高对色彩的运用很不寻常，这使专家们认为精神疾病可能影响(affect)了他的视力。他还服用过一种药物，可以让人看到黄色斑点(spot)，就像《星空》中的星星那样。
不幸的是，凡·高独特的画作在当时并不是很受欢迎，他在有生之年只卖出了一幅画。他还认为《星空》是一幅失败(failure)的作品，而现在事实是《星空》是世界上最著名的画作之一。
《呐喊(scream)》是爱德华·蒙克(Edvard Munch)于1893年创作的。这幅画富有冲击力(striking惊人的)，画中有一个表情恐惧的瘦弱身影——嘴巴大张，正发出强烈的尖叫声(let out a scream)。这个人捂住了自己的耳朵，直直地看向观看者(viewer)。人物被设置在一座桥上，桥下是漆黑的、波涛汹涌的海面，背景是燃烧的(burning)橙红色天空。
蒙克在他的日记中谈到了灵感的来源，“太阳落山时，我和两个朋友一起走在路上；天空突然变得像血一样红……我站在那里颤抖着，然后听到了大自然的尖叫声。”
许多专家说，《呐喊》与给蒙克带来(cause)巨大痛苦的心理健康问题有关。
《灯之王国(empire)》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特(René Magritte)的一系列绘画作品之一。1953年至1954年间，同样的场景(scene)他画了27次。画中有一座美丽的房子，房子里灯光明亮，外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是，在房子和树木之上，我们看到明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这个场景看起来非常神秘(mysterious)。
马格利特的灵感来自个人思想和想法的启发。他尝试戏谑现实，他的画作是一个个视觉(visual)实验。他认为艺术应该震撼观众并挑战他们对现实的观感。
观众对《灯之王国》的反应(reaction)不同。有些人觉得这些画看起来很黑暗，令人不安。而有些人则觉得这些画让人感到平静。马格利特本人则认为画作中白天和黑夜之间的变化令人惊讶。他说：“我称之为诗意的力量。”

[句式分析] 在这个句子中，what引导主语从句，并在从句中作主语；that引导表语从句，只起连接作用，不作句子成分，也没有任何意义。
what引导主语从句时有一定的意义，起连接作用，并在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语等成分；that引导表语从句时，只起连接作用，不作句子成分，也无任何意义。

·that只起连接作用，没有实际意义，不充当句子成分，且在宾语从句中可省略。
