Ⅰ.阅读理解
  When Tonee Carter sits in front of a piano, his fingers take on a life of their own, dancing across the keys as he smiles, closes his eyes, and sinks into a melody.
  Carter, 66, isn’t famous, but he does perform for an international audience nearly every day at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.Travelers lucky enough to hear him often find themselves attracted by his music.
  That’s what happened to Carlos Whittaker, a motivational speaker who was traveling home to Tennessee.“As I was walking through the hall, I heard someone playing the piano,” Whittaker, 46, told CNN.
  While listening to the music that seemed to effortlessly flow from Carter’s fingertips, Whittaker, the Instagram influencer also took videos of the musician and shared them with his more than 200,000 followers.
  And Whittaker came up with an idea.“Suddenly I was like, what would happen if I asked my Instagram followers if we could give him the biggest tip he’s ever gotten,” he said.“As of this conversation, we had raised 61,000.”
  Carter was just 6 years old when his father, also a pianist, took him to a Ray Charles concert.But Carter hasn’t had the easiest life.In fact, Carter has had serious kidney disease since 2008.
  “I thought he was kidding, I just couldn’t believe it,” Carter told CNN.“This is the kind of the thing I do.I love giving and donating and helping people, but I never expected someone to do it for me.”
  Whittaker has used his Instagram platform to raise funds for others in the past.Earlier this month, he and his followers raised 230,000 for Brooklyn To Alaska, a non-profit organization that sends urban teenagers on a transformative adventure to Alaska.
  Carter plans to use the money to help people the way Whittaker has helped him.“That 61,000 is not mine.It’s money that’s going to go to others,” Carter said.“There is only one way to say thank you, because words aren’t enough.And that is to pay this forward.”

  [1]The Starry② Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally③ ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window — the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon.However, he didn’t just paint the clouds.He also painted the massive④ circles of white and yellow racing across the sky.The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky.Beneath⑤ this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.
  His unusual use of colour has led experts to think that Van Gogh’s mental illness⑥ may have affected⑦ his sense of sight.He also took a drug that can make people see yellow spots⑧, just like the stars in The Starry Night.
  Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s unique paintings weren’t very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime.He also thought The Starry Night was a failure⑨.[2]However, the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world’s most famous paintings.
  [1]句中when引导定语从句, 修饰先行词June 1889。
  [2]句中the fact remains that ...是固定句式,表示“事实是……,真实的情况是……”。
  The Scream⑩ was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893.[3]What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear — the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream .The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer .This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange-red sky.
  In his diary, Munch talked about what inspired him.“[4]I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly the sky turned as red as blood ...I stood there shaking. Then I heard the scream of nature.”
  Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
  [3]句中What引导主语从句; that引导表语从句。
  [4]句中be doing ...when ...是固定句式,表示“正在做……,这时(突然)……”。
  The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte between 1953 and 1954.He painted the same scene 27 times.It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night.What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.[5] It seems like quite a mysterious scene.
  Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas.[6]His paintings were visual experiments as he tried to play with reality.His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of reality.
  The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers.Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling.Others, however, find them calming.As for Magritte himself, he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising.“I call this power:poetry,” he said.
  [5]It seems like ...“某物看起来像……”。
  [6]句中as引导原因状语从句, 意为“因为”。

【参考译文】
  《星空》是文森特·凡·高于1889年6月在一家精神病院里创作的。凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而,除了云之外,他还在天空中画了相互追逐的、巨大的白色和黄色光圈。星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片神奇的夜空下,我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗孤独的树。
  凡·高对色彩的应用很不寻常,专家们认为精神疾病可能影响了他的视力。他还服用过一种药物,可以让人看到黄色斑点,就像《星空》中的星星那样。
  不幸的是,凡·高独特的画作在当时并不是很受欢迎,他有生之年只卖出了一幅画。他也认为《星空》是一幅失败的作品,而现在《星空》是世界最著名的画作之一。
  《呐喊》是爱德华·蒙克于1893年创作的。这幅画富有冲击力,画中有一个表情恐惧的瘦弱身影——嘴巴大张,正发出强烈的尖叫声。这个人捂住了自己的耳朵,直直地看向观众。人物被设置在一座桥上,桥下是漆黑的、翻滚的海面,背景是燃烧的橙红色天空。
  蒙克在他的日记中谈到了灵感的来源,“太阳落山时,我和两个朋友一起走在路上;天空突然变得像血一样红……我站在那里颤抖,然后听到了大自然的尖叫声。”
  许多专家说,《呐喊》与给蒙克带来巨大痛苦的心理健康问题有关。
  《灯之王国》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特在1953年至1954年间创作的一系列绘画作品之一。同样的场景他画了27次。画中有一座美丽的房子,房子里充满了灯光,外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是,在房子和树木之上,我们看到明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这个场景看起来非常奇异。
  马格利特是一位灵感来自于个人的思想和想法的画家。他尝试戏谑现实,他的画作是一个个视觉实验。他认为艺术应该震撼观众并挑战他们对现实的观感。
  观众对《灯之王国》的反应不同。有些人觉得这些画看起来很黑暗,令人不安。而有些人则觉得这些画让人感到平静。马格利特本人认为画作中白天和黑夜之间的变化令人惊讶。他说:“我称之为诗意的力量。”

  The Scream⑩ was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893.[3]What
makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of
fear — the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream
.The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer .This
figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning
orange-red sky.
  In his diary, Munch talked about what inspired him.“[4]I was
walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly the
sky turned as red as blood ...I stood there shaking. Then I heard the
scream of nature.”

  The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist
René Magritte between 1953 and 1954.He painted the same scene 27
times.It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by
the darkness of night.What is strange is that above the house and the
tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.[5] It
seems like quite a mysterious scene.
  Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas.[6]His
paintings were visual experiments as he tried to play with reality.His
view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of
reality.
  The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in
viewers.Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling.Others,
however, find them calming.As for Magritte himself, he thought that
the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising.“I call
this power:poetry,” he said.
  [5]It seems like ...“某物看起来像……”。

【参考译文】
  《星空》是文森特·凡·高于1889年6月在一家精神病院里创作的。
凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而,除
了云之外,他还在天空中画了相互追逐的、巨大的白色和黄色光圈。
星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片神奇的夜空下,我们看到了一
个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗孤独的树。
  凡·高对色彩的应用很不寻常,专家们认为精神疾病可能影响了他
的视力。他还服用过一种药物,可以让人看到黄色斑点,就像《星
空》中的星星那样。
  不幸的是,凡·高独特的画作在当时并不是很受欢迎,他有生之年
只卖出了一幅画。他也认为《星空》是一幅失败的作品,而现在《星
空》是世界最著名的画作之一。
  《呐喊》是爱德华·蒙克于1893年创作的。这幅画富有冲击力,画
中有一个表情恐惧的瘦弱身影——嘴巴大张,正发出强烈的尖叫声。
这个人捂住了自己的耳朵,直直地看向观众。人物被设置在一座桥
上,桥下是漆黑的、翻滚的海面,背景是燃烧的橙红色天空。
  蒙克在他的日记中谈到了灵感的来源,“太阳落山时,我和两个
朋友一起走在路上;天空突然变得像血一样红……我站在那里颤抖,
然后听到了大自然的尖叫声。”
  许多专家说,《呐喊》与给蒙克带来巨大痛苦的心理健康问
题有关。
  《灯之王国》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特在1953年至1954年间创
作的一系列绘画作品之一。同样的场景他画了27次。画中有一座美丽
的房子,房子里充满了灯光,外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是,在
房子和树木之上,我们看到明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这个场景看起
来非常奇异。
  马格利特是一位灵感来自于个人的思想和想法的画家。他尝试戏
谑现实,他的画作是一个个视觉实验。他认为艺术应该震撼观众并挑
战他们对现实的观感。
  观众对《灯之王国》的反应不同。有些人觉得这些画看起来很黑
暗,令人不安。而有些人则觉得这些画让人感到平静。马格利特本人
认为画作中白天和黑夜之间的变化令人惊讶。他说:“我称之为诗意
的力量。”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
  When Tonee Carter sits in front of a piano, his fingers take on a
life of their own, dancing across the keys as he smiles, closes his
eyes, and sinks into a melody.
  Carter, 66, isn’t famous, but he does perform for an
international audience nearly every day at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport.Travelers lucky enough to hear him often find
themselves attracted by his music.
  That’s what happened to Carlos Whittaker, a motivational speaker
who was traveling home to Tennessee.“As I was walking through the
hall, I heard someone playing the piano,” Whittaker, 46, told
CNN.
  While listening to the music that seemed to effortlessly flow from
Carter’s fingertips, Whittaker, the Instagram influencer also took
videos of the musician and shared them with his more than 200,000
followers.
  And Whittaker came up with an idea.“Suddenly I was like, what
would happen if I asked my Instagram followers if we could give him the
biggest tip he’s ever gotten,” he said.“As of this conversation, we
had raised 61,000.”
  Carter was just 6 years old when his father, also a pianist, took
him to a Ray Charles concert.But Carter hasn’t had the easiest life.In
fact, Carter has had serious kidney disease since 2008.
  “I thought he was kidding, I just couldn’t believe it,” Carter
told CNN. “This is the kind of the thing I do.I love giving and donating
and helping people, but I never expected someone to do it for me.”
  Whittaker has used his Instagram platform to raise funds for others in
the past.Earlier this month, he and his followers raised 230,000 for
Brooklyn To Alaska, a non-profit organization that sends urban teenagers
on a transformative adventure to Alaska.
  Carter plans to use the money to help people the way Whittaker has
helped him.“That 61,000 is not mine.It’s money that’s going to
go to others,” Carter said.“There is only one way to say thank you,
because words aren’t enough.And that is to pay this forward.”
