Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　During a dark period in his youth， Bill Murray was wandering the streets of Chicago， feeling extremely sad and hopeless. “I was no longer excited about anything in life，” the actor recalled. That day he decided to visit the Art Institute and found himself in front of Jules Breton’s 1884 painting The Song of the Lark （云雀）， which shows a young woman looking skyward， sickle （鐮刀） in hand， a bright orange sunrise behind her. Suddenly， Murray felt he had a promising future. “I just thought， well， the girl doesn’t have many chances of success， but the lark’s flying high up in the sky and the sun’s coming up anyway and she’s got another chance at it，” he said. “That gave me some sort of feeling that I’d get another chance every day the sun comes up.” Murray credits the painting with changing his life forever.
　　Though making art has long been regarded as a form of treatment through self-expression， recently， passive participation — looking at art — is now being regarded as a different way of improving mental health. “We know that for a lot of people， making art can be a useful way to treat a mental illness，” says Tim A Shaw， artist and co-founder of the arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms. “But doing some painting or drawing isn’t usually an easy， relaxing thing for those who suffer from a high level of mental stress； it’s an uncomfortable pleasure.”
　　A few months ago， doctors at one of Brussels’s largest hospitals partnered with — and began advising patients to make visits to — the city’s fine arts museums. “We’re in the middle of a crisis that has brought so much stress to people， and I think culture may be the answer，” says government official Delphine Houba. The World Health Organization， in 2019， also published a 146-page report that recommends the inclusion of arts in the treatment of mental health. In the UK，Hospital Rooms has been changing dozens of wards （病房） by painting their walls and filling them with artworks by artists like Nick Knight and Gavin Turk.

　　No artist has affected modern art more than Pablo Picasso. The thousands of masterpieces he created changed the way people thought about art. Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who ever lived.
　　Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town on the southern coast of Spain. His father was a painter who taught art. Picasso showed exceptional talent at an early age and， by the time he was in his teens， painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers. At sixteen， Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Madrid， where students drew from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters. Picasso felt these assignments were pointless and began to work on his own. Picasso’s father soon became angry with his son’s rebellious behavior， long hair， and strange clothes. He believed that Picasso was wasting his talent and scolded him， “Why don’t you cut your hair and paint sensibly？” In 1900， Picasso left for Paris — then the center of the art world. He lived in a cold， run-down building， painting constantly， sometimes surviving for days on only a piece of bread. During these years， his art reflected his dismal （凄涼的） surroundings. Homeless outcasts were the subject of many of his fairly realistic early paintings. After seeing African masks and sculptures， his works became more simplified and angular leading up to the revolutionary new style known as Cubism.
　　Picasso didn’t sell much of his works during these early years. On 8 May 1995，Picasso’s Angel Fernandez de Soto was sold at auction for $29 million. The next day Blue Period， one of his later works，sold for $5 million. But he worked continuously， always experimenting with different styles of painting. Though Picasso lived to be ninety-two and became the most famous artist in the world， he spoke of his youthful days in Paris as “the happiest time in my life”. As a matter of fact， everyone knows that in his late years， Picasso was inordinately frustrated about his age and death — that’s in all his works.
5.Pablo Picasso showed unusual talent for painting 　　　　.
A.in his early childhood
B.in his early teens
C.at the age of sixteen
D.when he painted better than the local art teachers
6.Pablo Picasso started to reveal his rebellious spirit 　　　　.
A.when he was a child
B.in his early teens
C.when he was studying in the Royal Academy
D.after he moved to Paris
7.What marks something of a turning point in his career as an artist？
A.Those miserable but fruitful youthful days in Paris.
B.Those realistic paintings reflecting dismal social surroundings.
C.The influences of masks and sculptures created by native African artists.
D.Experimenting with new different styles of painting.
8.What does this passage mainly discuss？
A.Picasso’s Cubism as a revolutionary style in art.
B.Picasso as a rebel and his art.
C.Picasso’s life and painting in Paris.
D.Picasso’s influences on the development of modern art.

　　In March 2022， an exhibition of photographic work highlighting young people’s concerns about climate change was held under the guidance of the Canon Young People Programme （YPP）. The images were created by pupils of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in Ashbourne， Derbyshire， under the guidance of the former pupil， Canon Ambassador and professional photographer， Clive Booth.
　　The exhibition displayed seven pieces of artwork created by Year 12 pupils at the school and is the result of a series of Canon YPP photography and digital storytelling workshops. These workshops aim to provide young people with the knowledge， skills and confidence to handle the sustainability issues that matter to them.
　　Pupils were tasked with using visual storytelling， language， and design to create a poster and video that would bring to life their concerns for the future of the planet and their local environment. As the pupils created their masterpieces， they were mentored by Booth， who recently appeared as guest editor of Digital Photographer，and other Canon experts. The children were provided with inspiration and education through training on how to use Adobe Spark， how to shoot photographs and videos，and how to use lighting and props （道具） to bring their stories to life.
　　“This activity has created some incredible results，and I’m proud that the school has had the opportunity to show these images to the wider public，” said Booth. “It’s clear that the pupils were able to use these creative workshops as a platform to openly express their anxieties about climate change and their concerns over the future of the planet.”
　　Canon’s Young People Programme helps young people from across Europe， the Middle East and Africa with creative education by delivering workshops， inspiration and instruction. Since its start， it has worked with over 5，000 young people and over 50 charity partners.
9.What can we learn about the exhibition？
A.Most visitors to it were pupils aged 12.
B.Its primary focus was on climate problems.
C.More than seven images were displayed in it.
D.It showed the progress in digital photography.
10.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “mentored” in Paragraph 3？
A.Understood.　　　　 B.Dominated.
C.Taught. D.Evaluated.
11.Why did Booth feel proud of the activity？
A.It enabled the young to fully convey their ideas.
B.It offered an opportunity to exhibit his artwork.
C.It drew a lot of public attention to photography.
D.It promoted the Canon YPP’s creative education.

First impressions
3 June
Paris， France
[1]As a huge art fan， I knew exactly what I was looking forward to① most about my trip to Paris： visiting the Musée d’Orsay.[2]Housed② in an old railway building， this world-famous art museum features③ some of the best-known paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th century.
　　[1]句中what I was looking forward to most about my trip to Paris： visiting the Musée d’Orsay作knew的賓語；其中visiting the Musée d’Orsay解釋說明what從句的具體內容。
　　[2]句中過去分詞短語Housed in an old railway building作狀語。
　　As I wandered④ through the Impressionist gallery⑤， I appreciated masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players.[3]Even though I had admired them hundreds of times on my computer screen， nothing could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on⑥ the real thing.[4]While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so many amazing works， the artists who made the deepest impression on⑦ me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters， Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
　　[3]Even though引導讓步狀語從句，意為“即便，即使……”；I felt是定語從句，修飾先行詞the wonder；when 引導時間狀語從句。
[4]While引導讓步狀語從句，表示“雖然……”； who made the deepest impression on me是定語從句，修飾先行詞the artists；Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir是two of the greatest Impressionist painters的同位語。　　
I could see from Monet’s works that he was greatly inspired⑧ by nature.In the last three decades⑨ of his life he painted mostly⑩ scenes from his garden.[5]One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue Water Lilies， which I studied for quite a while in the gallery.I couldn’t believe it when I heard he did around 250 paintings of the same water lily pond ， all in different colours and styles.[6]It is amazing that every time Monet studied this simple scene， he brought the pond’s beauty to the canvas in a unique way.
　　[5]句中which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞the famous piece Blue Water Lilies。
　　[6]It is amazing that ...句型中，It是形式主語，真正的主語是that引導的主語從句； 在主語從句中，every time 引導時間狀語從句，表示“每次……”。
　　Renoir， I noticed， preferred to paint scenes of everyday life.[7]For me， the most interesting of his paintings is his 1876 masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette， which shows life in a busy neighbourhood of Paris on a Sunday afternoon.[8]When I saw it up close， I was struckby the small areas of light across the painting， and the way the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together.There’s so much going on， but so little clear detail.This effect makes the lively movement of the dance almost jump out at the viewer.
　　[7]句中which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞his 1876 masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette， which在定語從句中作主語。
　　[8]句中When引導時間狀語從句； the small areas of light across the painting和the way都是介詞 by 的賓語，同時the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together是定語從句，修飾先行詞the way。
　　[9]Although the paintings had very different settings ， it was their similarities that stayed with me long after I left the Musée d’Orsay — similarities which can be seen throughout the Impressionists’ paintings.Monet and Renoir， along with other like-minded artists， sought liberation from the rules of the old style.Everyday subject matter was the main focus of their works， as opposed to the history paintings that had traditionally dominated European art.They employed free brushwork and used colours to show the effect of light on things， creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before.To me， these techniques are the essence of the Impressionist view of art.[10]Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene — just a brief “impression” they had at that moment， burning with vivid colours and light， before it disappeared.
　　[9]句中Although引導讓步狀語從句；主句是it was ...that ...的強調句，被強調部分是 their similarities；after引導時間狀語從句；同時which引導定語從句，修飾先行詞similarities。
　　[10]本句主句是Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene，破折號后的a brief “impression” 起補充說明作用；they had at that moment是定語從句，修飾先行詞just a brief “impression”；動詞-ing短語burning with vivid colours and light作伴隨狀語；before引導時間狀語從句。
　　The Impressionists’ vision inspired a whole new generation of Post-Impressionist painters such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin， whose works are also displayed at the Musée d’Orsay.[11]It is also worthy of note that Post-Impressionist painters were not the only ones to be influenced by Impressionism — the movement has had a lasting influence on modern art， encouraging artists to look at the world from an entirely new point of view .It certainly left a lasting impression on me too！
　　[11]句中It是形式主語，that引導主語從句；動詞不定式to be influenced by Impressionism作the only ones的后置定語；破折號后是對上文Impressionism的具體說明；動詞-ing短語encouraging artists to ...作結果狀語。

第一印象
六月三日
法國巴黎
作為一個狂熱的藝術迷，我非常清楚自己此次巴黎之旅最期待的是什么——參觀奧賽博物館。這座舉世聞名的藝術博物館設于一座古老的鐵路建筑中，重點展出十九世紀印象派運動中最著名的一些畫作。
漫步于印象派展館，我欣賞著像《舞蹈課》和《玩紙牌者》這樣的杰作。盡管我在電腦屏幕上已經欣賞過數百次，但當我終于親眼見到實物時，還是覺得猝不及防，驚嘆不已。雖然從這么多令人稱奇的作品中很難選出一幅最喜歡的，但兩位偉大的印象派畫家給我留下了最深的印象——克勞德·莫奈和皮埃爾-奧古斯特·雷諾阿。
從莫奈的作品中，我可以看出他深受大自然的啟發。在他生命的最后三十年里，他畫的大多是自家花園里的風景，其中一處風景就展現在他著名的《藍睡蓮》里，我在展館里端詳了好一陣子。當聽說同一個睡蓮池他畫了大約250幅畫，每一幅顏色和風格都各異時，我簡直難以置信。令人贊嘆的是，莫奈每次端詳睡蓮池這處簡單的風景，都以獨特的方式讓它的美躍然于畫布之上。
我注意到，雷諾阿更喜歡描繪日常生活場景。在我看來，他最有趣的畫作是他1876年的杰作《煎餅磨坊的舞會》，這幅畫展現了某個周日下午巴黎一處熱鬧街區的生活。我靠近觀察，畫面上遍布著小面積的光斑，人物柔和的輪廓好像融為一體，令我驚嘆不已。畫上呈現的內容如此豐富，但清晰的細節又如此之少。這種效果使得舞蹈動作活靈活現，引人注目。
　　盡管這兩幅畫的背景截然不同，但在我離開奧賽博物館后很長一段時間里，一直縈繞著我的卻是它們的相似之處——這種相似之處在印象派的畫作中隨處可見。莫奈和雷諾阿，以及其他志趣相投的藝術家，都力求從之前風格的束縛中掙脫出來。日常題材是他們作品的重點，這有別于傳統上在歐洲藝術中占主導地位的歷史題材畫作。他們運用了自由的筆觸，用色彩來展示光投射在物體上的效果，創作出的繪畫作品遠不像前人所作的那么寫實。在我看來，這些技巧是印象派藝術觀的精髓。印象派畫家試圖描繪的并非某個場景的所有細節——而是他們當時產生的瞬間“印象”，在它消失之前，迸發著鮮明的光彩。
印象派的遠見卓識啟發了新一代的后印象派畫家，如文森特·凡·高和保羅·高更，奧賽博物館有展出他們的作品。值得注意的是，后印象派畫家并不是唯一受印象派影響的群體——這場運動還對現代藝術產生了持久的影響，鼓勵著藝術家們從一個全新的視角去看待世界。當然，這也給我留下了難忘的印象！

第三步：通詞句，學語言表達
1.詞匯學習——循規律，記單詞
（1）neighbour n.鄰居＋-hood→neighbourhood n.街區，城區；鄰近的地方
例如：childhood n.童年
boyhood n.少年時期
manhood n.成年；成年時期
likelihood n.可能性
（2）employ vt.運用，使用；雇用＋-ment→employment n.使用；職業；雇用
例如：movement n.運動
agreement n.協議
management n.管理
establishment n.建立，設立
equipment n.設備
2.美句欣賞——賞佳句，品用法
作比較是將兩種類別相同或不同的事物、現象等加以比較來說明事物特征的說明方法。在英語中，當突出強調兩個事物的相似性和不同時常會用到以下表達：
①描繪相似性：share、 be similar to、 like、 as ...as ...
②描繪不同：as opposed to、 in contrast to、 be different from、 than、 unlike ...
請從文章中找出兩個有此類結構的句子，欣賞、背誦并翻譯。
（1）原句：　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
翻譯：　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　
（2）原句：　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
翻譯：

First impressions
3 June
Paris， France
[1]As a huge art fan， I knew exactly what I was looking forward to
① most about my trip to Paris： visiting the Musée d’Orsay.[2]Housed②
in an old railway building， this world-famous art museum features③ some
of the best-known paintings from the Impressionist movement of the 19th
century.
　　[1]句中what I was looking forward to most about my trip to Paris：
visiting the Musée d’Orsay作knew的賓語；其中visiting the Musée
d’Orsay解釋說明what從句的具體內容。
　　[2]句中過去分詞短語Housed in an old railway building作狀語。
【讀文清障】
①look forward to 期待（to為介詞）

　　As I wandered④ through the Impressionist gallery⑤， I appreciated
masterpieces like The Ballet Class and The Card Players.[3]Even though I
had admired them hundreds of times on my computer screen， nothing
could have prepared me for the wonder I felt when I finally laid eyes on⑥
the real thing.[4]While it was hard to pick a favourite painting out of so
many amazing works， the artists who made the deepest impression on⑦
me were two of the greatest Impressionist painters， Claude Monet and
Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
　　[3]Even though引導讓步狀語從句，意為“即便，即使……”；
I felt是定語從句，修飾先行詞the wonder；when 引導時間狀語從句。
　　[4]While引導讓步狀語從句，表示“雖然……”； who made the
deepest impression on me是定語從句，修飾先行詞the artists；Claude
Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir是two of the greatest Impressionist
painters的同位語。
④wander vi.& vt.閑逛，漫步；走失；走神；蜿蜒曲折
⑤gallery n.展覽館，畫廊；長廊，走廊；樓上旁聽席
⑥lay eyes on 看見，見到
⑦make the deepest impression on 給……留下最深刻的印象
　　I could see from Monet’s works that he was greatly inspired⑧ by
nature.In the last three decades⑨ of his life he painted mostly⑩ scenes
from his garden.[5]One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue
Water Lilies， which I studied for quite a while in the gallery.I couldn’t
believe it when I heard he did around 250 paintings of the same water lily
pond ， all in different colours and styles.[6]It is amazing that every
time Monet studied this simple scene， he brought the pond’s beauty to the
canvas in a unique way.
　　[5]句中which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞the famous
piece Blue Water Lilies。
　　[6]It is amazing that ...句型中，It是形式主語，真正的主語是that
引導的主語從句； 在主語從句中，every time 引導時間狀語從句，表

　　Renoir， I noticed， preferred to paint scenes of everyday
life.[7]For me， the most interesting of his paintings is his 1876
masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette， which shows life in a
busy neighbourhood of Paris on a Sunday afternoon.[8]When I saw it
up close， I was struck by the small areas of light across the painting，
and the way the soft edges of the figures seemed to mix together.There’s so
much going on， but so little clear detail.This effect makes the lively
movement of the dance almost jump out at the viewer.
　　[7]句中which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞his 1876
masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette， which在定語從句中作
主語。

come/go into effect 生效
　　[9]Although the paintings had very different settings ， it was their
similarities that stayed with me long after I left the Musée d’Orsay —
similarities which can be seen throughout the Impressionists’
paintings.Monet and Renoir， along with other like-minded artists，
sought liberation from the rules of the old style.Everyday subject matter
was the main focus of their works， as opposed to the history paintings
that had traditionally dominated European art.They employed free
brushwork and used colours to show the effect of light on things，
creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came
before.To me， these techniques are the essence of the Impressionist
view of art.[10]Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a
scene — just a brief “impression” they had at that moment， burning
with vivi colours and light， before it disappeared.
　　[9]句中Although引導讓步狀語從句；主句是it was ...that ...的強
調句，被強調部分是 their similarities；after引導時間狀語從句；同時
which引導定語從句，修飾先行詞similarities。
　　[10]本句主句是Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail
in a scene，破折號后的a brief “impression” 起補充說明作用；they
had at that moment是定語從句，修飾先行詞just a brief
“impression”；動詞-ing短語burning with vivid colours and light作伴
隨狀語；before引導時間狀語從句。
setting n.環境，背景；情節背景
like-minded adj.想法相同的，志趣相投的
liberation n.解放，擺脫

essence n.本質，精髓；香精，精油
vivid adj.鮮明的，耀眼的；生動的
vividly adv.清晰地
　　The Impressionists’ vision inspired a whole new generation of Post-
Impressionist painters such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin，
whose works are also displayed at the Musée d’Orsay.[11]It is also
worthy of note that Post-Impressionist painters were not the only ones to
be influenced by Impressionism — the movement has had a lasting
influence on modern art， encouraging artists to look at the world from
an entirely new point of view .It certainly left a lasting impression on me
too！
　　[11]句中It是形式主語，that引導主語從句；動詞不定式to be
influenced by Impressionism作the only ones的后置定語；破折號后是
對上文Impressionism的具體說明；動詞-ing短語encouraging artists
to ...作結果狀語。

【參考譯文】
第一印象
六月三日
法國巴黎
作為一個狂熱的藝術迷，我非常清楚自己此次巴黎之旅最期
待的是什么——參觀奧賽博物館。這座舉世聞名的藝術博物館設
于一座古老的鐵路建筑中，重點展出十九世紀印象派運動中最著
名的一些畫作。
漫步于印象派展館，我欣賞著像《舞蹈課》和《玩紙牌者》這樣
的杰作。盡管我在電腦屏幕上已經欣賞過數百次，但當我終于親眼見
到實物時，還是覺得猝不及防，驚嘆不已。雖然從這么多令人稱奇的
作品中很難選出一幅最喜歡的，但兩位偉大的印象派畫家給我留下了
最深的印象——克勞德·莫奈和皮埃爾-奧古斯特·雷諾阿。
從莫奈的作品中，我可以看出他深受大自然的啟發。在他生命的
最后三十年里，他畫的大多是自家花園里的風景，其中一處風景就展
現在他著名的《藍睡蓮》里，我在展館里端詳了好一陣子。當聽說同
一個睡蓮池他畫了大約250幅畫，每一幅顏色和風格都各異時，我簡
直難以置信。令人贊嘆的是，莫奈每次端詳睡蓮池這處簡單的風景，
都以獨特的方式讓它的美躍然于畫布之上。
我注意到，雷諾阿更喜歡描繪日常生活場景。在我看來，他最有
趣的畫作是他 1876 年的杰作《煎餅磨坊的舞會》，這幅畫展現了某
個周日下午巴黎一處熱鬧街區的生活。我靠近觀察，畫面上遍布著小
面積的光斑，人物柔和的輪廓好像融為一體，令我驚嘆不已。畫上呈
現的內容如此豐富，但清晰的細節又如此之少。這種效果使得舞蹈動
作活靈活現，引人注目。
　　盡管這兩幅畫的背景截然不同，但在我離開奧賽博物館后很
長一段時間里，一直縈繞著我的卻是它們的相似之處——這種相
似之處在印象派的畫作中隨處可見。莫奈和雷諾阿，以及其他志
趣相投的藝術家，都力求從之前風格的束縛中掙脫出來。日常題
材是他們作品的重點，這有別于傳統上在歐洲藝術中占主導地位
的歷史題材畫作。他們運用了自由的筆觸，用色彩來展示光投射
在物體上的效果，創作出的繪畫作品遠不像前人所作的那么寫
實。在我看來，這些技巧是印象派藝術觀的精髓。印象派畫家試
圖描繪的并非某個場景的所有細節——而是他們當時產生的瞬間
“印象”，在它消失之前，迸發著鮮明的光彩。
印象派的遠見卓識啟發了新一代的后印象派畫家，如文森
特·凡·高和保羅·高更，奧賽博物館有展出他們的作品。值得注意的
是，后印象派畫家并不是唯一受印象派影響的群體——這場運動還對
現代藝術產生了持久的影響，鼓勵著藝術家們從一個全新的視角去看
待世界。當然，這也給我留下了難忘的印象！

　　During a dark period in his youth， Bill Murray was wandering the
streets of Chicago， feeling extremely sad and hopeless. “I was no longer
excited about anything in life，” the actor recalled. That day he decided
to visit the Art Institute and found himself in front of Jules Breton’s 1884
painting The Song of the Lark （云雀）， which shows a young woman
looking skyward， sickle （鐮刀） in hand， a bright orange sunrise
behind her. Suddenly， Murray felt he had a promising future.
“I just thought， well， the girl doesn’t have many chances of success，
but the lark’s flying high up in the sky and the sun’s coming up anyway
and she’s got another chance at it，” he said. “That gave me some sort
of feeling that I’d get another chance every day the sun comes up.”
Murray credits the painting with changing his life forever.
　　Though making art has long been regarded as a form of treatment
through self-expression， recently， passive participation — looking at
art — is now being regarded as a different way of improving mental health.
“We know that for a lot of people， making art can be a useful way to
treat a mental illness，” says Tim A Shaw， artist and co-founder of the
arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms. “But doing some painting
or drawing isn’t usually an easy， relaxing thing for those who suffer from
a high level of mental stress； it’s an uncomfortable pleasure.”
　　A few months ago， doctors at one of Brussels’s largest hospitals
partnered with — and began advising patients to make visits to — the
city’s fine arts museums. “We’re in the middle of a crisis that has brought
so much stress to people， and I think culture may be the answer，” says
government official Delphine Houba. The World Health Organization， in
2019， also published a 146-page report that recommends the inclusion of
arts in the treatment of mental health. In the UK，Hospital Rooms has
been changing dozens of wards （病房） by painting their walls and
filling them with artworks by artists like Nick Knight and Gavin Turk.

　　No artist has affected modern art more than Pablo Picasso. The
thousands of masterpieces he created changed the way people thought
about art. Picasso was perhaps the most talented and successful artist who
ever lived.
　　Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town on the southern coast
of Spain. His father was a painter who taught art. Picasso showed
exceptional talent at an early age and， by the time he was in his teens，
painted better than his father or any of the local art teachers. At sixteen，
Picasso was sent to the Royal Academy of Madrid， where students drew
from plaster casts and copied works of the old masters. Picasso felt these
assignments were pointless and began to work on his own. Picasso’s father
soon became angry with his son’s rebellious behavior， long hair， and
strange clothes.
He believed that Picasso was wasting his talent and scolded him， “Why
don’t you cut your hair and paint sensibly？” In 1900， Picasso left for
Paris — then the center of the art world. He lived in a cold， run-down
building， painting constantly， sometimes surviving for days on only a
piece of bread. During these years， his art reflected his dismal （凄涼的）
surroundings. Homeless outcasts were the subject of many of his fairly
realistic early paintings. After seeing African masks and sculptures， his
works became more simplified and angular leading up to the revolutionary
new style known as Cubism.
　　Picasso didn’t sell much of his works during these early years. On 8
May 1995，Picasso’s Angel Fernandez de Soto was sold at auction for $29
million. The next day Blue Period， one of his later works，sold for $5
million. But he worked continuously， always experimenting with
different styles of painting. Though Picasso lived to be ninety-two and
became the most famous artist in the world， he spoke of his youthful days
in Paris as “the happiest time in my life”. As a matter of fact， everyone
knows that in his late years， Picasso was inordinately frustrated about his
age and death — that’s in all his works.

　　In March 2022， an exhibition of photographic work highlighting
young people’s concerns about climate change was held under the
guidance of the Canon Young People Programme （YPP）. The images
were created by pupils of Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School in
Ashbourne， Derbyshire， under the guidance of the former pupil，
Canon Ambassador and professional photographer， Clive Booth.
　　The exhibition displayed seven pieces of artwork created by Year 12
pupils at the school and is the result of a series of Canon YPP photography
and digital storytelling workshops. These workshops aim to provide young
people with the knowledge， skills and confidence to handle the
sustainability issues that matter to them.
　　Pupils were tasked with using visual storytelling， language， and
design to create a poster and video that would bring to life their concerns
for the future of the planet and their local environment. As the pupils
created their masterpieces， they were mentored by Booth， who recently
appeared as guest editor of Digital Photographer，and other Canon
experts. The children were provided with inspiration and education through
training on how to use Adobe Spark， how to shoot photographs and
videos，and how to use lighting and props （道具） to bring their stories
to life.
　　“This activity has created some incredible results，and I’m proud
that the school has had the opportunity to show these images to the wider
public，” said Booth. “It’s clear that the pupils were able to use these
creative workshops as a platform to openly express their anxieties about
climate change and their concerns over the future of the planet.”
　　Canon’s Young People Programme helps young people from across
Europe， the Middle East and Africa with creative education by delivering
workshops， inspiration and instruction. Since its start， it has worked
with over 5，000 young people and over 50 charity partners.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了繪畫帶給人們的三種好
處。
12. E　上文提到什么時候重新開始繪畫都不晚，下文具體介紹繪畫帶
給人們的三種好處。由此可知，設空處應該與繪畫帶給人們的好處有
關，故E項符合語境。空后一句中的these benefits指代E項中的many
health benefits。boil ...down to ...歸納……為……
13. G　根據段落小標題Therapeutic Benefits和空前一句可知，繪畫對
身心有益。G項（繪畫時，你專注于創作而不想其他事）進一步解釋
上文中提到的繪畫能讓人放松、減輕壓力，符合語境。
14. D　根據段落小標題Unleashed （釋放的） Creativity和空后一句
可知，內心有創造力才需要去釋放。故D項（我們的內心都有成為創
作天才的必要條件）符合語境。D項中的creative與小標題中的
Creativity和下文中的creativity是原詞復現關系。have the makings of ...
具備了成為……的必要條件。
15. F　本段指出繪畫能提高注意力并鍛煉毅力。設空處與上下句
之間是順承關系，具體解釋了為什么繪畫能提高注意力并鍛煉毅
力。故F項符合語境。F項中的this process指代空前一句中的
Creating a painting from start to finish。challenges與空后一句中
的challenges是原詞復現關系。
16. B　根據上下文可知，參加繪畫課或活動對你開始繪畫有幫助。故
B項（這可以幫助你輕松地繪畫）符合語境。B項中的This指代上文中
的attending a local painting class or event。ease sb into sth使某人熟悉某
物（新事物）。
謝謝觀看！
