Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
During a dark period in his youth， Bill Murray was wandering the streets of Chicago， feeling extremely sad and hopeless. “I was no longer excited about anything in life，” the actor recalled. That day he decided to visit the Art Institute and found himself in front of Jules Breton’s 1884 painting The Song of the Lark （云雀）， which shows a young woman looking skyward， sickle （镰刀） in hand， a bright orange sunrise behind her. Suddenly， Murray felt he had a promising future. “I just thought， well， the girl doesn’t have many chances of success， but the lark’s flying high up in the sky and the sun’s coming up anyway and she’s got another chance at it，” he said. “That gave me some sort of feeling that I’d get another chance every day the sun comes up.” Murray credits the painting with changing his life forever.
Though making art has long been regarded as a form of treatment through self-expression， recently， passive participation — looking at art — is now being regarded as a different way of improving mental health. “We know that for a lot of people， making art can be a useful way to treat a mental illness，” says Tim A Shaw， artist and co-founder of the arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms. “But doing some painting or drawing isn’t usually an easy， relaxing thing for those who suffer from a high level of mental stress； it’s an uncomfortable pleasure.”
A few months ago， doctors at one of Brussels’s largest hospitals partnered with — and began advising patients to make visits to — the city’s fine arts museums. “We’re in the middle of a crisis that has brought so much stress to people， and I think culture may be the answer，” says government official Delphine Houba. The World Health Organization， in 2019， also published a 146-page report that recommends the inclusion of arts in the treatment of mental health. In the UK，Hospital Rooms has been changing dozens of wards （病房） by painting their walls and filling them with artworks by artists like Nick Knight and Gavin Turk.

No artist has affected modern art more than Pablo Picasso. The thousands of masterpieces he created changed the way people thought about art. Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who ever lived.
Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town on the southern coast of Spain. His father was a painter who taught art. Picasso showed exceptional talent at an early age and， by the time he was in his teens， painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers. At sixteen， Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Madrid， where students drew from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters. Picasso felt these assignments were pointless and began to work on his own. Picasso’s father soon became angry with his son’s rebellious behavior， long hair， and strange clothes. He believed that Picasso was wasting his talent and scolded him， “Why don’t you cut your hair and paint sensibly？” In 1900， Picasso left for Paris — then the center of the art world. He lived in a cold， run-down building， painting constantly， sometimes surviving for days on only a piece of bread. During these years， his art reflected his dismal （凄凉的） surroundings. Homeless outcasts were the subject of many of his fairly realistic early paintings. After seeing African masks and sculptures， his works became more simplified and angular leading up to the revolutionary new style known as Cubism.
Picasso didn’t sell much of his works during these early years. On 8 May 1995，Picasso’s Angel Fernandez de Soto was sold at auction for $29 million. The next day Blue Period， one of his later works，sold for $5 million. But he worked continuously， always experimenting with different styles of painting. Though Picasso lived to be ninety-two and became the most famous artist in the world， he spoke of his youthful days in Paris as “the happiest time in my life”. As a matter of fact， everyone knows that in his late years， Picasso was inordinately frustrated about his age and death — that’s in all his works.
5.Pablo Picasso showed unusual talent for painting .
A.in his early childhood
B.in his early teens
C.at the age of sixteen
D.when he painted better than the local art teachers
6.Pablo Picasso started to reveal his rebellious spirit .
A.when he was a child
B.in his early teens
C.when he was studying in the Royal Academy
D.after he moved to Paris
7.What marks something of a turning point in his career as an artist？
A.Those miserable but fruitful youthful days in Paris.
B.Those realistic paintings reflecting dismal social surroundings.
C.The influences of masks and sculptures created by native African artists.
D.Experimenting with new different styles of painting.
8.What does this passage mainly discuss？
A.Picasso’s Cubism as a revolutionary style in art.
B.Picasso as a rebel and his art.
C.Picasso’s life and painting in Paris.
D.Picasso’s influences on the development of modern art.

In March 2022， an exhibition of photographic work highlighting young people’s concerns about climate change was held under the guidance of the Canon Young People Programme （YPP）. The images were created by pupils of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in Ashbourne， Derbyshire， under the guidance of the former pupil， Canon Ambassador and professional photographer， Clive Booth.
The exhibition displayed seven pieces of artwork created by Year 12 pupils at the school and is the result of a series of Canon YPP photography and digital storytelling workshops. These workshops aim to provide young people with the knowledge， skills and confidence to handle the sustainability issues that matter to them.
Pupils were tasked with using visual storytelling， language， and design to create a poster and video that would bring to life their concerns for the future of the planet and their local environment. As the pupils created their masterpieces， they were mentored by Booth， who recently appeared as guest editor of Digital Photographer，and other Canon experts. The children were provided with inspiration and education through training on how to use Adobe Spark， how to shoot photographs and videos，and how to use lighting and props （道具） to bring their stories to life.
“This activity has created some incredible results，and I’m proud that the school has had the opportunity to show these images to the wider public，” said Booth. “It’s clear that the pupils were able to use these creative workshops as a platform to openly express their anxieties about climate change and their concerns over the future of the planet.”
Canon’s Young People Programme helps young people from across Europe， the Middle East and Africa with creative education by delivering workshops， inspiration and instruction. Since its start， it has worked with over 5，000 young people and over 50 charity partners.
9.What can we learn about the exhibition？
A.Most visitors to it were pupils aged 12.
B.Its primary focus was on climate problems.
C.More than seven images were displayed in it.
D.It showed the progress in digital photography.
10.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “mentored” in Paragraph 3？
A.Understood. B.Dominated.
C.Taught. D.Evaluated.
11.Why did Booth feel proud of the activity？
A.It enabled the young to fully convey their ideas.
B.It offered an opportunity to exhibit his artwork.
C.It drew a lot of public attention to photography.
D.It promoted the Canon YPP’s creative education.

Why is it that so many of us enjoyed painting and art as kids， but have somehow lost that passion （酷爱） growing up？ We don’t know the answer， but what we do know is that it’s never too late to start painting again. 12 We’ve boiled these benefits down to our picks for the top three.
Therapeutic Benefits — Painting is relaxing and can help reduce your stress levels. 13 This has a similar effect on your body as meditation （冥想）.The result is a positive attitude and a different outlook on the world around you.
Unleashed （释放的） Creativity — 14 Unleashing your creativity allows you to expand your abilities and gain self-confidence. The joy of painting comes less from the quality of the painting and more from the satisfaction of creating something amazing yourself.

Taking on a new painting can feel daunting （令人生畏的） at first， but it’s a highly satisfying experience that will leave you wanting more.
There you have it， three of the top reasons to start painting more often. One of the best ways to get started is by attending a local painting class or event. 16 For those of you in Utah， The Paint Mixer offers local instructed painting events. Not in Utah？ Take a few minutes to find a local painting studio near you. You’ll be shocked by the positive impact painting will have on your life.

First impressions
3 June
Paris， France
[1]As a huge art fan， I knew exactly what I was looking forward to① most about my trip to Paris： visiting the Musée d’Orsay.[2]Housed② in an old railway building， this world-famous art museum features③ some of the best-known paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th century.
[1]句中what I was looking forward to most about my trip to Paris： visiting the Musée d’Orsay作knew的宾语；其中visiting the Musée d’Orsay解释说明what从句的具体内容。
[2]句中过去分词短语Housed in an old railway building作状语。
As I wandered④ through the Impressionist gallery⑤， I appreciated masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players.[3]Even though I had admired them hundreds of times on my computer screen， nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on⑥ the real thing.[4]While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so many amazing works， the artists who made the deepest impression on⑦ me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters， Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
[3]Even though引导让步状语从句，意为“即便，即使……”；I felt是定语从句，修饰先行词the wonder；when 引导时间状语从句。
[4]While引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然……”； who made the deepest impression on me是定语从句，修饰先行词the artists；Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir是two of the greatest Impressionist painters的同位语。
I could see from Monet’s works that he was greatly inspired⑧ by nature.In the last three decades⑨ of his life he painted mostly⑩ scenes from his garden.[5]One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue Water Lilies， which I studied for quite a while in the gallery.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.[6]It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene， he brought the pond’s beauty to the canvas in a unique way.
[5]句中which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the famous piece Blue Water Lilies。
[6]It is amazing that ...句型中，It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句； 在主语从句中，every time 引导时间状语从句，表示“每次……”。
Renoir， I noticed， preferred to paint scenes of everyday life.[7]For me， the most interesting 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.[8]When I saw it up close， I was struckby 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， but so little clear detail.This effect makes the lively movement of the dance almost jump out at the viewer.
[7]句中which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词his 1876 masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette， which在定语从句中作主语。
[8]句中When引导时间状语从句； the small areas of light across the painting和the way都是介词 by 的宾语，同时the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together是定语从句，修饰先行词the way。
[9]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.[10]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.
[9]句中Although引导让步状语从句；主句是it was ...that ...的强调句，被强调部分是 their similarities；after引导时间状语从句；同时which引导定语从句，修饰先行词similarities。
[10]本句主句是Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene，破折号后的a brief “impression” 起补充说明作用；they had at that moment是定语从句，修饰先行词just a brief “impression”；动词-ing短语burning with vivid colours and light作伴随状语；before引导时间状语从句。
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.[11]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！
[11]句中It是形式主语，that引导主语从句；动词不定式to be influenced by Impressionism作the only ones的后置定语；破折号后是对上文Impressionism的具体说明；动词-ing短语encouraging artists to ...作结果状语。

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。这座举世闻名的艺术博物馆设于一座古老的铁路建筑中，重点展出十九世纪印象派运动中最著名的一些画作。
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。我靠近观察，画面上遍布着小面积的光斑，人物柔和的轮廓好像融为一体，令我惊叹不已。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。日常题材是他们作品的重点，这有别于传统上在欧洲艺术中占主导地位的历史题材画作。他们运用了自由的笔触，用色彩来展示光投射在物体上的效果，创作出的绘画作品远不像前人所作的那么写实。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，奥赛博物馆有展出他们的作品。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！

in an old railway building， this world-famous art museum features③ some
of the best-known paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th
century.

the real thing.[4]While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so
many amazing works， the artists who made the deepest impression on⑦
me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters， Claude Monet and
Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
[3]Even though引导让步状语从句，意为“即便，即使……”；
I felt是定语从句，修饰先行词the wonder；when 引导时间状语从句。
[4]While引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然……”； who made the
deepest impression on me是定语从句，修饰先行词the artists；Claude
Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir是two of the greatest Impressionist

I could see from Monet’s works that he was greatly inspired⑧ by
nature.In the last three decades⑨ of his life he painted mostly⑩ scenes
from his garden.[5]One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue
Water Lilies， which I studied for quite a while in the gallery.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.[6]It is amazing that every
time Monet studied this simple scene， he brought the pond’s beauty to the
canvas in a unique way.
[5]句中which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the famous
piece Blue Water Lilies。

Renoir， I noticed， preferred to paint scenes of everyday
life.[7]For me， the most interesting 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.[8]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， but so little clear detail.This effect makes the lively
movement of the dance almost jump out at the viewer.

[9]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.[10]Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a
scene — just a brief “impression” they had at that moment， burning
with vivi colours and light， before it disappeared.
[9]句中Although引导让步状语从句；主句是it was ...that ...的强
调句，被强调部分是 their similarities；after引导时间状语从句；同时
which引导定语从句，修饰先行词similarities。
[10]本句主句是Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail
in a scene，破折号后的a brief “impression” 起补充说明作用；they
had at that moment是定语从句，修饰先行词just a brief
“impression”；动词-ing短语burning with vivid colours and light作伴

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.[11]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！
[11]句中It是形式主语，that引导主语从句；动词不定式to be
influenced by Impressionism作the only ones的后置定语；破折号后是
对上文Impressionism的具体说明；动词-ing短语encouraging artists

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。这座举世闻名的艺术博物馆设
于一座古老的铁路建筑中，重点展出十九世纪印象派运动中最著
名的一些画作。
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。我靠近观察，画面上遍布着小
面积的光斑，人物柔和的轮廓好像融为一体，令我惊叹不已。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。日常题
材是他们作品的重点，这有别于传统上在欧洲艺术中占主导地位
的历史题材画作。他们运用了自由的笔触，用色彩来展示光投射
在物体上的效果，创作出的绘画作品远不像前人所作的那么写
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，奥赛博物馆有展出他们的作品。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！

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
During a dark period in his youth， Bill Murray was wandering the
streets of Chicago， feeling extremely sad and hopeless. “I was no longer
excited about anything in life，” the actor recalled. That day he decided
to visit the Art Institute and found himself in front of Jules Breton’s 1884
painting The Song of the Lark （云雀）， which shows a young woman
looking skyward， sickle （镰刀） in hand， a bright orange sunrise
behind her. Suddenly， Murray felt he had a promising future.
“I just thought， well， the girl doesn’t have many chances of success，
but the lark’s flying high up in the sky and the sun’s coming up anyway
and she’s got another chance at it，” he said. “That gave me some sort
of feeling that I’d get another chance every day the sun comes up.”
Murray credits the painting with changing his life forever.
Though making art has long been regarded as a form of treatment
through self-expression， recently， passive participation — looking at
art — is now being regarded as a different way of improving mental health.
“We know that for a lot of people， making art can be a useful way to
treat a mental illness，” says Tim A Shaw， artist and co-founder of the
arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms. “But doing some painting
or drawing isn’t usually an easy， relaxing thing for those who suffer from
a high level of mental stress； it’s an uncomfortable pleasure.”
A few months ago， doctors at one of Brussels’s largest hospitals
partnered with — and began advising patients to make visits to — the
city’s fine arts museums. “We’re in the middle of a crisis that has brought
so much stress to people， and I think culture may be the answer，” says
government official Delphine Houba. The World Health Organization， in
2019， also published a 146-page report that recommends the inclusion of
arts in the treatment of mental health. In the UK，Hospital Rooms has
been changing dozens of wards （病房） by painting their walls and
filling them with artworks by artists like Nick Knight and Gavin Turk.

No artist has affected modern art more than Pablo Picasso. The
thousands of masterpieces he created changed the way people thought
about art. Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who
ever lived.
Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town on the southern coast
of Spain. His father was a painter who taught art. Picasso showed
exceptional talent at an early age and， by the time he was in his teens，
painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers. At sixteen，
Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Madrid， where students drew
from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters. Picasso felt these
assignments were pointless and began to work on his own. Picasso’s father
soon became angry with his son’s rebellious behavior， long hair， and
strange clothes.
He believed that Picasso was wasting his talent and scolded him， “Why
don’t you cut your hair and paint sensibly？” In 1900， Picasso left for
Paris — then the center of the art world. He lived in a cold， run-down
building， painting constantly， sometimes surviving for days on only a
piece of bread. During these years， his art reflected his dismal （凄凉的）
surroundings. Homeless outcasts were the subject of many of his fairly
realistic early paintings. After seeing African masks and sculptures， his
works became more simplified and angular leading up to the revolutionary
new style known as Cubism.
Picasso didn’t sell much of his works during these early years. On 8
May 1995，Picasso’s Angel Fernandez de Soto was sold at auction for $29
million. The next day Blue Period， one of his later works，sold for $5
million. But he worked continuously， always experimenting with
different styles of painting. Though Picasso lived to be ninety-two and
became the most famous artist in the world， he spoke of his youthful days
in Paris as “the happiest time in my life”. As a matter of fact， everyone
knows that in his late years， Picasso was inordinately frustrated about his
age and death — that’s in all his works.

In March 2022， an exhibition of photographic work highlighting
young people’s concerns about climate change was held under the
guidance of the Canon Young People Programme （YPP）. The images
were created by pupils of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in
Ashbourne， Derbyshire， under the guidance of the former pupil，
Canon Ambassador and professional photographer， Clive Booth.
The exhibition displayed seven pieces of artwork created by Year 12
pupils at the school and is the result of a series of Canon YPP photography
and digital storytelling workshops. These workshops aim to provide young
people with the knowledge， skills and confidence to handle the
sustainability issues that matter to them.
Pupils were tasked with using visual storytelling， language， and
design to create a poster and video that would bring to life their concerns
for the future of the planet and their local environment. As the pupils
created their masterpieces， they were mentored by Booth， who recently
appeared as guest editor of Digital Photographer，and other Canon
experts. The children were provided with inspiration and education through
training on how to use Adobe Spark， how to shoot photographs and
videos，and how to use lighting and props （道具） to bring their stories
to life.
“This activity has created some incredible results，and I’m proud
that the school has had the opportunity to show these images to the wider
public，” said Booth. “It’s clear that the pupils were able to use these
creative workshops as a platform to openly express their anxieties about
climate change and their concerns over the future of the planet.”
Canon’s Young People Programme helps young people from across
Europe， the Middle East and Africa with creative education by delivering
workshops， inspiration and instruction. Since its start， it has worked
with over 5，000 young people and over 50 charity partners.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Why is it that so many of us enjoyed painting and art as kids， but
have somehow lost that passion （酷爱） growing up？ We don’t know
the answer， but what we do know is that it’s never too late to start
painting again. 12 We’ve boiled these benefits down to our picks for
the top three.
Therapeutic Benefits — Painting is relaxing and can help reduce
your stress levels. 13 This has a similar effect on your body as
meditation （冥想）.The result is a positive attitude and a different
outlook on the world around you.
Unleashed （释放的） Creativity — 14 Unleashing your
creativity allows you to expand your abilities and gain self-confidence. The
joy of painting comes less from the quality of the painting and more from
the satisfaction of creating something amazing yourself.
Concentration & Perseverance （毅力） — Creating a painting
from start to finish takes time and effort. 15 Pushing through this
helps improve your ability to concentrate and persevere through new
challenges. Taking on a new painting can feel daunting （令人生畏的） at
first， but it’s a highly satisfying experience that will leave you wanting
more.
There you have it， three of the top reasons to start painting more
often. One of the best ways to get started is by attending a local painting
class or event. 16 For those of you in Utah， The Paint Mixer offers
local instructed painting events. Not in Utah？ Take a few minutes to find
a local painting studio near you. You’ll be shocked by the positive impact
painting will have on your life.
A. It makes each piece unique.
B. This can help ease you into painting.
C. Learning how to paint will strengthen their mind.
D. We all have the makings of a creative genius inside us.
E. There are many health benefits to be gained from painting.
F. During this process mistakes and challenges are being made and
overcome.
G. While painting， you’ll focus on what you are creating and let
everything else go.

处。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了绘画带给人们的三种好
处。
12. E 上文提到什么时候重新开始绘画都不晚，下文具体介绍绘画带
给人们的三种好处。由此可知，设空处应该与绘画带给人们的好处有
关，故E项符合语境。空后一句中的these benefits指代E项中的many
health benefits。boil ...down to ...归纳……为……
13. G 根据段落小标题Therapeutic Benefits和空前一句可知，绘画对
身心有益。G项（绘画时，你专注于创作而不想其他事）进一步解释
上文中提到的绘画能让人放松、减轻压力，符合语境。
14. D 根据段落小标题Unleashed （释放的） Creativity和空后一句
可知，内心有创造力才需要去释放。故D项（我们的内心都有成为创
作天才的必要条件）符合语境。D项中的creative与小标题中的
Creativity和下文中的creativity是原词复现关系。have the makings of ...
具备了成为……的必要条件。
15. F 本段指出绘画能提高注意力并锻炼毅力。设空处与上下句
之间是顺承关系，具体解释了为什么绘画能提高注意力并锻炼毅
力。故F项符合语境。F项中的this process指代空前一句中的
Creating a painting from start to finish。challenges与空后一句中
的challenges是原词复现关系。
16. B 根据上下文可知，参加绘画课或活动对你开始绘画有帮助。故
B项（这可以帮助你轻松地绘画）符合语境。B项中的This指代上文中
的attending a local painting class or event。ease sb into sth使某人熟悉某
物（新事物）。
谢谢观看！
