27、 Fans of art believe that its main purpose is to make us look at life from many different angles. When it comes to Cubism, however, the artists of this era wanted us to look at life from every angle.
The father of Cubism, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, is among the art world's most famous names. Like many other great names before him, he felt restrained by the rules of his teachers and decided to do something: break them.
Early in his painting career, Picasso realized something important about how people view and remember scenes of beauty. When we look at a subject, we don’t just see it from one angle, as many paintings appear. Instead, we study the subject from a number of different angles, heights and viewpoints. This is the aim of Cubism: It portrays subjects from a wide range of angles; it doesn’t force us to see things as the artist viewed them at the time he or she painted them. To bring his visions to life, Picasso and other Cubists took the most basic components of a subject and rearranged them in a way which let us see it in full detail.
“By breaking objects and figures down into distinct areas, Picasso aimed to show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space,” in the words of the Tate Institution. Or as Lithuanian-born Cubist Jacques Lipchitz once put it: “Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look different; if you go lower, again they will look different.”
Cubism stood out as it was an art movement which didn't just rely on the artist to share their vision by painting what they saw. As cubist paintings mainly show their subjects in a deconstructed form, this means that viewers must use their imaginations to find the missing pieces for themselves. As Guardian art critic Johnathan Jones noted, this is part of the beauty of enjoying Picasso’s works. “If you can relax your gaze enough and just enjoy the painting long enough, something really amazing happens. Your mind produces a solid feeling of the things Picasso was looking at the world is revealed in its majesty,” he wrote.
【1】What is a main features of cubist works?
A.They are simple pictures. B.They break things down into parts.
C.They are mainly in black and white. D.They present scenes of life to viewers.
【2】Why are Jacques Lipchitz’s words quoted?
A.To point out the origin of cubism.
B.To compare cubism with other schools of art.
C.To show his understanding of what cubism was.
D.To show that mountains were a common subject in cubism.
【3】Which word would Jonathan Jones probably use to describe cubist works?
A.Imaginative. B.Traditional. C.Colorful. D.Life-like.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Seeing Every Side. B.The History of Cubism.
C.The Beauty of Enjoying. D.Pablo Picasso: A Great Cubist.
28、Knowing Mr I.M. Pei, and establishing the LM. Pei Foundation with his son, Didi Pei, are among the most fortunate things to ever happen to me.
Like many Chinese Americans, I chose to study architecture in 1975, simply because I wanted to be the next I.M. Pei. He was the inspiration for my career and my life. Unfortunately when I applied for a job at his office after graduation in 1980, his associate partner, Kellogg Wong told me that I was too young and inexperienced, and advised me to try again after a few years.
In 1984, however, I set up my own firm, James Jao Associates. It was the heyday of my firm in the late 1980s, designing about 30 percent of new residential family buildings in Queens. The joke at the time was that I.M. Pei was the biggest Chinese American architectural firm with over 2,800 employees, and James Jao with 100 was the second largest.
In the summer of 1990, I had the first opportunity to pay Mr Pei a personal visit at his office. After knowing my age, he congratulated me for breaking what he thought to be the curse (诅咒) that no architect can be famous until after the age of 40. He even said that I had a greater influence than him. I was surprised by his nice words. However, I don’t think anyone, especially me, will ever be as influential as him.
In November, 2018, after my 60th birthday celebrations, I met Mr Pei in his apartment discussing the establishment of the I.M. Pei Foundation, a non-profit organization to promote the philosophy of his works and, most importantly, his spirit of achieving excellence in art and culture.
This morning I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a great architectural legend (传奇) of our time. At the age of 102, Mr Pei died with great achievements to his name.
Rest in peace, Mr Pei. We will vow to carry on your torch (火炬) and your sprit because you are the one and only I.M. Pei.
James C Jao,
May 16th, 2019
【1】The writer chose to study architecture because ________.
A．she wanted to make as much money as I.M. Pei
B．she wanted to have the lessons of I.M. Pei

D．she wanted to be a great architect like I.M. Pei
【2】The underlined word “heyday” in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A．the golden period
B．the weakest period
C．the darkest period
D．the toughest period
【3】What did I.M. Pei think of James Jao?

29、 Besides being fun, well-managed festivals and events offer a host of economic and social benefits to communities. 【1】 There are risks and costs related to the effort.
Festivals attract visitors and boost the economy. 【2】 On-site spending includes admission fees, parking fees, food, beverage and souvenir sales — and more. But off-site spending related to festivals brings income for communities, too. For example, visitors stop at local gas stations, souvenir shops, and restaurants — the list goes on. Festivals also provide free marketing and advertising for local businesses as visitors talk about their fun experiences when they go back home. If visitors post comments and photos about their experiences on Facebook or other social media, so much the better. The economic benefits of successful festivals affect local tourism and non-tourism-related businesses alike.
【3】 Planning and conducting festivals involves many members of the community, which produces a number of social benefits. “The best thing about being involved with festivals and events is the opportunity to help build a community, develop a sense of pride within a community, and engage a community,” says Chris Romano, a business consultant with Thrivent Financial Services. “Honestly, in my professional career, I’ve never found something outside a community festival that can do that to the same degree.” Experts agree that hometown pride is a critical factor in the development and improvement of any community. People with community pride are more likely to speak positively about their town to others and to volunteer with organizations and activities that support the common good.
Festivals will teach visitors new things. Whatever a festival’s theme, it’s bound to be instructional and visitors are bound to learn from it. Of course, education is another social benefit of festivals. 【4】 Learning is a big byproduct of the annual Lady Slipper Celebration in the northwestern Minnesota community of Blackduck. The community launched the celebration, named after the Minnesota state flower, to showcase and promote understanding of the area’s natural resources and Native American culture. This educational experience helped visitors connect to the area, who were pleased with their experience and planned to return to the area.
A.But hosting festivals also poses challenges.
B.Festivals may help to improve community pride.
C.Festivals play a significant role in developing relationships.
D.This is hands-on, experiential learning offered in the fun context of celebration.
E.They spend money, which boosts the local economy both on and off the festival site.
F.While a successful event raises a community’s fame, a less-than-successful effort does just the opposite.
