I.阅读理解
A
Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo da Vinci, who died
in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the most influential artists and creative thinkers of
all time. His most famous and representative paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting—Landscape 8P, which they think is Da Vinci's
earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there are two
images, not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5, 1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a
castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was
wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this "mirror
writing". It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right
and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, "Leonardo was born left-handed, but was taught to write
with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writing, we can see his right-handed
handwriting is educated and well done."
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Experts compared the two handwriting samples (样本) and said they were both made by Leonardo.
They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The artwork is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibition at
the Uffizi Gallery in Italy. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said the artwork is worthy of our attention,
and that by studying it, researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing techniques and his
abilities in writing.
1.What does the writing on the back probably tell about?
A. A statement about the painting.
B. An agreement to produce a painting.
C. An introduction of Leonardo.
D. Something about the city of Florence.
2.What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia's words?
A. He did bad in right-handed handwriting.
B. He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
C. He could write with both of his hands.
D. He taught himself to write with the right hand.
3.What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research?
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
B
Artists are continually trying to find creative ways to show their talent. Some, like Iris Scott, paint
with their bare fingers. Now Turkish artist Garip Ay has become well-known worldwide by adopting Ebru,
an ancient technique that allows him to create amazing paintings on water.
Believed to have originated in Central Asia in the 13th century, Ebru made its way to Turkey by the
16th century, where it was perfected. The art form remains popular in Turkey, with many painters using
the technique to create attractive pieces, coveted by both collectors and tourists.
Ebru artists begin by adding some gum to water to help increase the water’s viscosity(黏度)and
prevent it from mixing with the paint. The solution (溶液)is then poured into a wooden container with the
same dimensions as the solid surface on which the painting will finally rest. To keep the colors afloat, and
improve their ability to spread across the water’s surface, some drops of ox bile(胆汁)are mixed in with
each color.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂To create the paintings, the artists first splash(泼洒)the paints on the water using brushes made with
horsehair. They then use droppers(滴管)to carefully shape the colors and create the perfect designs. When
complete, an absorbent(能吸收的) surface, such as paper, is carefully placed on top to get the painting.
Once dry, the artwork is flattened and polished by hand.
Ebru was initially used for book covers or to decorate the inside pages with wildly colorful papers.
However, artists like Ay have added a modern twist by using absorbent fabrics, glass, and wood as solid
surfaces.
Though Ay has created several amazing paintings since he began using Ebru in 2007, the most famous
is his 2016 recreation of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Those seeking a more modern Ebru creation is
pleased to know that in 2017. The artist also painted characters from the popular Netflix series, Stranger
Things.
4. What does the underlined word “coveted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Produced. B. Impressed. C. Desired. D. Learned.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The preparations for creating Ebru paintings.
B. How to mix up water and a variety of colors.
C. The whole process of creating Ebru paintings.
D. How to spread paints across the water’s surface.
6. What role does Garip Ay play in Ebru?
A. He makes some improvements on it.
B. He discovers it in Starry Night.
C. He comes up with it and spreads it.
D. He adds a traditional twist to it.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Great Artists Create a Lot of Unique Paintings
B. An Ancient Technique is Used to Paint on Water
C. Painting on Water Becomes Possible Eventually
D. A Turkish Artist is Famous for His Paintings

Why people collect art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art. But what motivates these
collectors?
One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain. Some resell works,
earning enormous profit. 1 . Immorally, some “collectors” buy art as a form of money laundering(洗
钱), since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
2 . For them, art is important for other reasons. The best way to understand the underlying drive
of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds, and as a way for collectors to
communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links; they are also motivated by the messages
they can send once these social networks are created. We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to
express thoughts and feelings. 3 . Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is
—at least who she sees herself as.
4 . Through the collections, collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the
world as a whole. For example, the kid with the shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection
not just to make friends, but also to convince them about the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. 5 .
A. Some gain art works in an illegal way
B. But most collectors think little of profit
C. Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers
D. No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome
E. Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums
F. It also serves as an effective way to express collectors
G. Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power
