Here weve rounded up 4 of his best paintings before the show.Potato EatersPotato Eaters was Van Goghs first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of. His aim was to represent the difficulties of country life, so the farmers are painted in earthy tones with rough faces and bony hands. He was more concerned with conveying his message than achieving technical perfection in this painting. IrisesVan Gogh finished almost 142 pieces during his stay in the Saint Remy de Provence asylum (精神病院), where he was a voluntary patient from 1889 to 1890. This piece was started shortly after he arrived there. The hospital garden provided much inspiration for the artist during his stay there. Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment (色素) faded over time and has now turned blue.Cafe Terrace at NightDespite being painted more than 130 years ago, this cafe still exists in France and has since been renamed the Cafe Van Gogh. This artwork marks the first time Van Goghs famous post-impressionistic star-filled sky was seen in a piece, and it was painted on the ground, in person, rather than from memory. While the artwork doesnt bear his signature, its widely known to be Van Goghs, as he mentioned Cafe Terrace at Night in a number of his letters.Wheat Field With CypressesThis piece was inspired by the view from Van Goghs asylum window and was finished on the spot. The work was the title of three paintings that offer an insight into his stay at the hospital. Van Gogh was 80 pleased with the summer landscape that he made three copies there, one of the same sizewhich hangs in the National Gallery and two smaller copies which he planned to gift to his mother and sister.1. Which painting did Vincent van Gogh take most pride in?A. Irises.B. Potato Eaters.C. Cafe Terrace at Night.D. Wheat Field With Cypresses.2. What is the original color of the flowers in Irises?A. Purple.B. Blue.C. Red.D. Yellow.3. What do the last two paintings have in common?A. They were the same in size.B. They had more than one copy.C. They were signed by the artist,D. They were painted on the ground.【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D【解析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了梵高的四幅代表作。【1题详解】细节理解题。由Potato Eaters一节中的“Potato Eaters was Van Goghs first major work and, despite a distinct lack of colour, it was one that he was most proud of.”（吃土豆的人是梵高的第一部主要作品，尽管明显缺乏色彩，但这是他最引以为豪的作品。），可知Potato Eaters是梵高自己感到最得意的作品。故选B项。【2题详解】细节理解题。由Irises一节中的“Originally, the flowers in this work were painted purple but the red pigment (色素) faded over time and has now turned blue.”（最初，这幅作品中的花朵被涂成紫色，但随着时间的推移，红色素褪色，现在变成蓝色。），可知Irises中的花原来是紫色的，后来因为失去了红色素，而变成了色。故选A项。【3题详解】细节理解题。由Cafe Terrace at Night一节中的“This artwork marks the first time Van Goghs famous post-impressionistic star-filled sky was seen in a piece, and it was painted on the ground, in person, rather than from memory.”（这幅作品标志着梵高著名的后印象派星空第一次出现在一幅作品中，梵高亲自当场绘制了它，而不是从记忆中绘制的。）和Wheat Field With Cypresses一节中的“This piece was inspired by the view from Van Goghs asylum window and was finished on the spot.”（这件作品的灵感来自梵高住的精神病院窗户的景色，并当场完成。），可知Cafe Terrace at Night和Wheat Field With Cypresses这两幅画都是现场写生的，on the ground/ on the spot（当场）。故选D项。BSteve Sterners job as a pianist playing music for silent movies started on a fancy idea about four decades ago.He was at a friends party and decided to make sound by beating the ivories(象牙)while a silent cartoon played. Impressed with the performance, his friend invited him to play along to a full-length feature silent film at the theater.This fall, Mr. Sterner, 67 years old, is celebrating his 35th anniversary as a piano accompanist at Film Forum by playing 12 silent movies of his choice at the theater in Greenwich Village, He has picked movies starring Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton and ones directed by Frank Borzage. The series started in August and goes until early November.All these films are wonderfulsaid Mr. Sterner, who is also an actor and a singer. People might not have heard of or seen them, but they are little gems(宝石)waiting to be discovered. The silent-film era peaked almost a century ago and fizzled out with the arrival of the talkies, or movies with synchronized(同步的)sound. But now, silent films are making a comeback in New York City, with increasing popularity among young people.Film Forum, a nonprofit, puts on two to three silent movies with live accompanying music every quarter, including at least one silent comedy for its junior audience. These showings are always popular and often sold out, with at least 100 people typically attending each screening, according to its program director Bruce Goldstein.Over the past three decades, he said he has seen more people, especially younger audiences, coming to see silent films.For many years people didnt pay attention to silent films, Mr. Goldstein said. But now people discover that silent films are the roots for movies,“I feel like today because of smart phones and social media, our left brain is filled with information.

To advertise the Film Forum.C. To praise Steve Sterners job.D. To show the comeback of silent films.【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7.

It can allow people to communicate across great distances, up to 5 kilometers. Compared with other similar whistle languages in Spains Canary Islands, in Mexico, or in Greek villages, it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.This unusual form of communication, which dates some 500 years ago, to the Ottoman Empire, was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.But 50 years ago, it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage（遗产）under serious threat.For centuries, the language has been passed on from grandparent to parent, from parent to child. Now, though, many of its most skilful speakers who use their tongue, teeth and fingers are aging all becoming physically weak. Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words, and in a few generations it may be gone for good.“Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys. It has many benefits over yelling, which is bad for our throats.” said Avni Kocek, head of the bird village adding that despite setbacks because of technology, “Bird language is still used by many of us. Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival.”Besides, the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instil（逐步实施）the practice in younger generations.8. What is the bird languages advantage over other similar whistle languages?A. It is used as a means of communication.B. It is older and has a larger number of users.C. It can send more messages to farther places.D. It is a completely different system of whistling.9. Whats the biggest threat to the bird language?A. Other whistle languages are more effectively protected.B. The need to use it in everyday life is disappearing.C. Many of its most skilful speakers are growing old.D. Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough.10. Whats the most effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language?A. It has become a subject at primary schools.B. Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month.C. Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area.D. All parents are required to transmit it to their children.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Preserving the Endangered Bird languageB. The Story of a Bird Language SpeakerC. Celebrating the Bird Language FestivalD The Disappearance of Bird Language【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了“鸟语”被世界教科文组织列为非物质文化遗产，鸟语最大的威胁是每日生活中，使用它的需要正在消失，目前为止，保护“鸟语”所采取的最有效的措施就是在小学中开设这门课程。【8题详解】推理判断题。由第二段It can allow people to communicate across great distances, up to 5 kilometers. Compared with other similar whistle languages in Spains Canary Islands, in Mexico, or in Greek villages, it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.（它可以让人们进行长距离的交流，最远可达5公里。与西班牙加那利群岛、墨西哥或希腊村庄的其他类似口哨语言相比，它的音调更高，词汇量更大）可知鸟语有更高的音调和更大的词汇量，所以可以推测出鸟语和其他口哨语言相比较，它的优点是可以把更多的信息传到更远的地方，故选C。【9题详解】推理判断题。由第四段But 50 years ago, it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage（遗产）under serious threat.（但在50年前，它受到了科技进步的冲击，而在今天，移动电话系统的快速发展使这一文化遗产受到严重威胁）可知对鸟语最大的威胁是每日生活中，使用它的需要正在消失，故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。由最后一段Besides, the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instil（逐步实施）the practice in younger generations.（此外，自2014年以来，为了向年轻一代灌输鸟语的习惯，当地政府要求小学教授鸟语）可知目前为止，保护“鸟语”所采取的最有效的措施就是在小学中开设这门课程，故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段The unusual whis
