B
In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity
known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period, artists found inspiration in
Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to masterpieces like Girl
with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”,this
painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of art history’
s most beloved paintings.
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft,
a city in Holland where the artist was born, lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring
is Vermeer’s most well-known work of art. However, it did not attain international
fame at its time of completion. That came about at the end of the 20th century, when
it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington, D. C.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person. Instead, it shows
an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who, “like a vision coming from the
darkness,” art historian Arthur K. Wheelock explained in the Johannes Vermeer
catalogue, “belongs to no specific time or place.”
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather
than line. This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident in Girl
with a Pearl Earring. First, he would “invent”, or create an initial drawing on
the canvas. Then, he made a single colored underpainting. Next, he added color. And,
finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright, he would apply a thin
layer of glaze to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty, the piece is
celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it. “When you think about the Mona Lisa,
she is also looking at us, but she isn’t engaging — she’s sitting back in the
painting, self-contained,” Tracy Chevalier, the author of the New York Times
bestselling historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out. “While Girl
with a Pearl Earring is right there — there is nothing between her and us. She has
this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time
—and that is what makes her so appealing.”
4. What inspired the creation of Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. Previous artists’ skills.
B. The appearance of the girl.
C. Vermeer’s international fame.
D. Encouragement from other
artists.
5. What do we know about Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. It is set in the artist’s birthplace.
B. It makes the artist famous
overnight.
C. It describes a particular and exact girl.
D. It is regarded as a match for
Mona Lisa.
6. What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the subject of the painting.
B. To show techniques used in the
painting.
C. To explain the artistic value of the painting.
D. To uncover the mystery
behind the painting.
7. How does Tracy comment on Girl with a Pearl Earring?
A. By citing a theory.
B. By giving a definition.
C. By offering an example.
D. By making a comparison.
【答案】4. A
5. D
6. B
7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》的创作背景,使用到的绘
画技巧以及对它的评价。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period
of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period, artists
found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to
masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.(17 世纪,荷兰
经历了一段艺术繁荣时期,称为荷兰黄金时代。在这一时期,艺术家们从北方文艺复兴时期
的绘画技巧中找到了灵感,创作出了 Johannes Vermeer 的杰作《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》)”可
知,Girl with a Pearl Earring 的创作是受到了文艺复兴时期艺术家绘画技巧的启发。故
选 A。
【5 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”,this painting
represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of art history’s most beloved
paintings.(这幅画被称为“北方的蒙娜丽莎”,代表了荷兰艺术的精华,成为艺术史上最
受欢迎的画作之一)”可知,Girl with a Pearl Earring 被认为能和《蒙娜丽莎》媲美。
故选 D。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms
using light rather than line. This characteristic approach to modeling is
particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First, he would “invent”, or
create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then, he made a single colored underpainting.
Next, he added color. And, finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright,
he would apply a thin layer of glaze to certain parts of the painting.(Vermeer
以能用光而不是线创造形状而闻名。这种独特的造型方法在《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》身上尤为
明显。首先,他会“发明”,或者在画布上创作一幅最初的图画。然后,他画了一幅单色底
色。接下来,他添加了颜色。最后,为了让这幅画格外明亮,他会在画的某些部分涂上一层
薄薄的釉料)”推知,本段的主要目的是介绍《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》这幅画使用到的技巧。
故选 B。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 Tracy 所说的话““When you think about the Mona Lisa, she
is also looking at us, but she isn’t engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting,
self-contained,” Tracy Chevalier, the author of the New York Times bestselling
historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out. “While Girl with a Pearl
Earring is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical
quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is
what makes her so appealing.”(《纽约时报》畅销书历史小说《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》的作
者 Tracy Chevalier 指出:“当你想到《蒙娜丽莎》时,她也在看着我们,但她并不参与其
中——她坐在画中,独立存在。”“而《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》就在那里——她和我们之间什么
也没有。她有一种神奇的特质,既开放又神秘,这就是她如此吸引人的原因。”)”推知,Tracy
是使用对比的方式对《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》进行评论的。故选 D。
C
A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives,
help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their present
positions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread
later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research
labs all over the globe — and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating
a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years
ago — superconductivity.
Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential
to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the
home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities
of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel vehicles with electric cars, and cut
the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of
conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical
