考题 Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”( named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters. Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between 1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.51.What’s the main topic of the passage?A. Modern art movements in the United States.B. The great influence of Cubism.C. Several American modernists found urban landscape an appealing subject.D. Contemporary artists in the United States.52.Which of the following is not mentioned as a means through which American artists learned about new movements?A. Trips to Paris.B. Lectures by European artists.C. The exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”.D. The sensational Armory Show in 1913.53.What was exhibited on the sensational Armory Show of 1913 in New York?A. Works of many leading European artists as well as works of many progressive American painters.B. Works of all the European artists and American painters.C. Works of a number of American modernists and painters of the “Ash Can School”.D. Works of European artists only.54.According to the author, which of the following was a major new movement in twentieth-century art?A. Impressionism.B. Cubism.C. The rational tradition.D. Realism.55.What do we know about Cubism?A. It made a clear differentiation between the figure and the background of a painting.B. Natural forms were broken down analytically into shape of a square.C. The object represented and the surface on which they were painted became one.D. The Cubists preserved the conventional single vantage point of the viewer.

考题 BFor several years，Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone． Now，teleshopping is starting in Europe．ln a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys and many others things．Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden． For example，the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $ 100 million．In France，there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels．In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour ev-ery day． Then the government allowed more teleshopping． Other channels can open for telebusi-ness，including teleshopping companies． German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things．Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes． With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason．But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping． They call teleshopping "just on the air． "Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV． Good quality is important to them，and they believe they can't be sure about the quality of the things on TV．The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will be different from the American companies． They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell． They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers can-t touch or see in person．( )26．In which country people can go teleshopping?A． America and all the European countries．B． Australia and some European countries．C． The USA and many European countries．D． America and many developed countries．

考题问答题Abstract Expressionism　　Abstract expressionism was the name for an artistic movement that emerged in the USA during the 1950s. It was also known as the New York School since most of the important artists lived there, at least for a time. During World War II many influential artists had fled the fighting and persecution of Europe and ended up in New York. The Abstract Expressionist group were made up of artists who had either come from Europe or who were directly influenced by the styles and techniques of those who had.　　Abstract Expressionism is a term used for art that uses elements of Expressionism in an abstract way. They were also influenced by Surrealism. Expressionist artists used symbols and particular styles of painting to express feelings or emotions. Surrealists tried to express the subconscious by using through the actual process of painting. The physical property of paint (what it was like) was what was important. The style and the subject (what the painting was of) had lost all significance.　　The recognition of the Abstract Expressionists by the art world meant that for the first time the USA became known as an important force in avant-garde art. The term avant-garde is often used in art, and is used to describe anything radically new or different. The Abstract Expressionists fitted this description perfectly. For the first time it was the physical act of painting that was important rather than the end product.　　The New York School was not, in the strictest sense, an artistic movement. The Abstract Expressionists included artists who had each developed their own individual styles. But there were enough similarities in the way they thought about and approached painting that gradually the group became known as the Abstract Expressionists.　　Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner and Franz Kline all became recognized for a technique called action painting. This was where spontaneous physical movement and gestures were used to produce paintings. The term action painting was originally used by the art critic Harold Rosenberg. He was referring to Jackson Pollock, who became famous for his drip paintings. Pollock used a revolutionary new technique, which involved dripping, pouring or squirting the paint from syringes directly onto the canvases. We now use the term action painting in a wider sense to refer to any technique of making a painting with energetic and spontaneous application of paint.　　Other artists who also fall under the title of Abstract Expressionists include Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Clyfford Still. These artists invented a softer, calmer technique where paint is applied with brushes in large areas, or fields, of color covers the whole picture surface. This technique became known as color field painting.　　Both the action and color field painters shared methods and ideals. Paint is applied in bold, simple brushstrokes, dribbles or splashes, with blocks of color to make the maximum visual impact. The huge physical size of the paintings matched the artists’ grand philosophical ideas.　　Abstract Expressionists all shared a philosophy about painting. Paintings were a search for truth, or the hidden meaning of life. The artists tried to find a way of painting that did not have to follow any particular style or school ofart. This way people would not associate the painting with anything else. They would just look at it as a painting and form their own ideas of what it meant.
