What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world.Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 1.An artist hopes that the public will ____. A.understand him and learn from him B.notice only shapes and colors in his work C.teach him something D.believe what he says in his work 2.It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because he/ she ___. A.uses shapes and colors instead of words B.uses unusual words and phrases C.does not express himself /herself well D.does not say anything clearly 3.The writer points out that contemporary artists might say their choices of subject _____. A.only provide interesting patterns B.teach the public important truths C.have no pattern or form D.carry a message to the public 4.The writer also points out that contemporary art contains ____. A.nothing but meaningless patterns B.uninteresting aspects of the world C.completely meaningless subjects D.subjects chosen partly for their meanings 5.What is implied in this passage？() A.A painting is more easily understood than a symphony. B.Art is merely the arranging of shape and color. C.Every artist tries to say something to the public. D.One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying.

短文翻译(英译汉) As a child—and as an adult as well—Bill was untidy. It has been said that in order to counteract this, Mary drew up weekly clothing plans for him. On Mondays he might go to school in blue, on Tuesdays in green, on Wednesdays in brown, on Thursdays in black, and so on Weekend meal schedules might also be planned in detail. Bill’s contemporaries, even at the age, recognized that he was exceptional. Every year, he and his friends would go to summer camp. Bill especially liked swimming and other sports. One of his summer camp friends recalled, “He was never a nerd or a goof or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team. We all knew Bill was smarter than us. Even back then, when he was nine or ten years old, he talked like an adult and could express himself in ways that none of us understood.” Bill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science. He needed to go to a school that challenged him to Lakeside—an all-boys’ school for exceptional students. It was Seattle’s most exclusive school and was noted for its rigorous academic demands.” Lakeside allowed students to pursue their own interests, to whatever extent they wished. The school prided itself on making conditions and facilities available that would enable all its students to reach their full potential. It was the ideal environment for someone like Bill Gates.

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life.In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs.In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents. In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do.Often, that is another cause of the gap between them.Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations.In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come. 1.The first paragraph tells us that ______. A、the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people B、it is out of date to talk about the generation gap C、children and parents are trying to understand each other D、it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other 2.In a more traditional society, old people_______.

D、Parents expect too much of their children. 5.The main idea of the passage is ________.
