2．Claude Monet，a French painter who was the leader and advocate of the Impressionist style.When Claude，the eldest son of a grocer，was five years old，the family moved to the Normandy coast，where his father took over the management of his family's grocery business.This event has more than biographical significance.It was Monet's childhood，spent along the beaches and the knowledge he gained of the sea and the rapidly shifting Norman weather that would one day give rise to his fresh vision of nature.In these early years he also finished pencil sketches of sailing ships，which were almost technical in their clear descriptiveness.His aunt，Marie-Jeanne Lecadre，was an amateur painter，and，perhaps at her suggestion，Claude went to study drawing with a local artist.But his life as a painter did not begin until he was befriended by Eugène Boudin，who introduced Monet to the practice of painting in the open air.The experience set the direction for Monet，who for more than 60 years would concentrate on visible phenomena.
As the 1870s began，Monet continued his pursuit of natural phenomena.In order to avoid the Franco-German War，he left his family and traveled to London.There，he was introduced to Paul Durand-Ruel，who was to become his dealer.The years he lived there marked the height of the Impressionist movement.He helped organize an independent exhibition of the Impressionists 'work in 1874.Impression：Sunrise （1872），one of Monet's works at the exhibition，inspired the journalist Louis Leroy to give the group their name.
Monet attracted the dedicated support of collectors throughout his career，most notably from Americans.His influence on other artists was wide-ranging.During the years 1886 to 1914，a colony（群體） of mainly American artists gathered around him and regarded him as the best example of modern French painting.They adopted his fresh palette（調(diào)色板），subject matter，and natural style and eventually introduced these elements to American art.

A．His love for the sea and beaches.
B．His childhood experiences in Norman.

D．His early years of pencil sketches practice.
（2）Where was Monet educated according to the passage？

3． The first step in writing any poem is coming up with something to write about.To do that，you have to choose deep or attractive material.Anything can be the topic for great poems have been written about such topics as a gas station or pieces of broken glass on the beach.
It's easiest to write a good poem about something you know well，that you have experienced firsthand，or that you have nearby so that you can observe it carefully.This is what makes the poem deep and interesting，what will be the hidden details or qualities you discover or the things that reminds you of the unique view.
In his book Poetry in the Making，the poet Ted Hughes talks about how to write a poem about an animal. "The key，" he says， "is to concentrate hard enough on the animal，to choose the words that best catch the animal you have in your mind." You can use this approach with any poems.
In the beginning，you don't have to worry about the "style" or writing in a "poetic" way that means being filled with rhythm and beauty.In fact，if you start to think about being poetic，it can puzzle you from what you're actually writing about and hurt your poem.Have you ever tried to have a conversation with someone who was trying to impress you？Then you know how boring this can be.The person is really thinking about himself or herself，not about the conversation.Similarly，if you are worrying about what impression your poem will make，then that takes your attention away from the topic of your poem.
In a word，if the poem is about you or your life，try to take the angle of a careful reporter when you write it down.You should focus on accurately communicating an aspect of your experience instead of focusing on what impression you are making when you do it.
（1）What will be an easy topic for writing a good poem？
A．Something beautiful.
B．Something you know well.
C．Something interesting.
D．Something others have experienced before.
（2）What can we infer about Ted Hughes's opinion on writing a poem？
A．It is necessary to select the words.
B．It is important to choose a good topic.
C．It is necessary to focus on the style of poems.
D．It is difficult to write a poem about animals.
（3）In which section of a newspaper can we read the text？
A．Food.
B．Technology.
C．Advertisement.
D．Literature.
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．A poem is about one's experience
B．How to record your life by poems
C．How to write a poem
D．A poem is about life組卷：0引用：2難度：0.3

"Wow!It's lovely!" she said as she went closer to a small art school.She struggled to peep （偷看） in and saw that it was a piano.For some reason，her eyes were filled with tears.She wished to play the instrument，but her parents couldn't afford to send her there.
Adele returned home with a heavy heart and couldn't wait to pass by the art school again.She even pretended to press piano keys on the wall near her bed just like she was playing them for real.Seeing her do this，her parents were hurt but ignored it，because she was wishing for something beyond their means （錢財(cái)）.
The following afternoon，after class，Adele silently went to the place she had stood the previous day.Almost one hour later she walked away unwillingly.Her wish to play the piano grew stronger.
Then as she crossed the street，she heard beautiful sound on the piano she'd never heard before.Curiously，she followed the sound and soon reached the doorstep of an old house.The door was open，so she invited herself into the house. "Hello…Is anybody in there？" she shouted.
The music stopped at once.An elderly woman stood there，smiling.Her wrinkled skin and gray hair showed her aged beauty. "Come here，sweetheart!How can I help you？" she asked Adele.The girl was scared，but she approached the woman and after seeing her warm smile. "I'm Adele，and I was walking by your house when I heard someone playing the piano…It's so beautiful!" she said.The woman then invited Adele to sit with her and began playing again.Soon，the girl was lost in the different classic melodies （旋律） that afternoon.At one point，Adele began to cry，and the elderly woman stopped playing.
