本文是一篇旅行日记。旅行日记是一种以记录参观访问、旅游见闻为主要内容的文体，一般以描写为主要手段，又常与抒情、议论相结合来表达作者独特的感受。读文时，应首先按照作者的游览过程，理清楚作者所到之处，也就是作者的游踪。同时，借助表现心理、感受、思想、情感方面的关键词，或者反映作者内心情感的语言、行动、表情之类的描写，把握作者在游览过程中所获得的感受。如本文记录了作者参观法国巴黎奥赛博物馆的经历，抒发了作者的所思所感，介绍了印象派画家的代表作品、艺术风格及其对后世的影响。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．As a huge art fan, I knew exactly what I was looking forward to most about my trip to Paris: visiting the Musée d'Orsay.
赏析：本句中使用了huge art fan、knew exactly以及 looking forward to most等表达，形象地刻画出作者对于艺术的渴望，对于这次巴黎之行的期盼，使读者也心生向往，期待跟随作者去探寻巴黎的奥赛博物馆。
2．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.
赏析：本句中使用了all来强调这约250幅画作色彩、风格均不同，呼应了前半句中的couldn't believe it，表达了作者的惊讶和难以置信。
3．Monet and Renoir, along with other like-minded artists, sought liberation from the rules of the old style.
赏析：本句中使用了介词短语along with 引出other like-minded artists，而不是采用常见的并列连词and，避免了因使用常见词而造成的描写枯燥乏味，体现了用词的灵活性。
4．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.
赏析：本句中先用not the only点明后印象派画家并不是唯一受印象派影响的群体，然后用破折号解释说明了这场运动还对现代艺术产生了持久的影响。此外，本句中还用了一些高级表达：be influenced by、have a lasting influence on及from an entirely new point of view，增添了语篇的文采。
[提能训练]　(完成句子)

(二)赏句式之高

赏析：本句中使用了even though引导的让步状语从句，体现了作者在绘画实物中所体会到的真实情感。
2．One of these scenes is shown in the famous piece Blue Water Lilies, which I studied for quite a while in the gallery.
赏析：本句中使用了非限制性定语从句 which I studied for quite a while in the gallery，解释说明了作者在展馆中花了较长时间来研究这幅画，表现出作者对这幅画的喜爱。定语从句属于高级句型，写作中应尝试使用。
3．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.
赏析：本句中的encouraging artists to look at the world from an entirely new point of view为现在分词短语在句中作状语，表示结果。使用分词而非从句来表示结果，既可令表达更精练，又可增加句式的多样性。
[提能训练]　(完成句子)
①__________________ a lot in his career, he still remains modest.　虽然他在事业上取得了不少成就，但他依然保持谦虚。
②(2023·新高考Ⅰ卷写作)This, however, may cause many problems, such as mismatched learning goals, lack of motivation, ________________________________________.
然而，这可能会导致很多问题，例如学习目标不匹配、缺乏动力，从而降低活动的效果。
(三)赏修辞之功

赏析：本句中的so much与so little运用了对比的修辞手法，直接、鲜明地介绍了这幅画上虽然清晰、明确的细节很少，但呈现的画面内容却极其丰富。

Born into a poor family in the early Tang Dynasty, the young Han Gan had to help support his family by working in a local wine shop.His artistic talent was discovered by accident when he was sent to the poet Wang Wei's house to collect payment for some wine.While waiting at the gate, Han Wang Wei decided to sponsor the young man to study painting and recommended him to a master.Due to Han Gan's natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.
The Tang emperors were very fond of horses.This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists.At that time, the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters.Han Gan's method, however, was different — he observed the animal itself.He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time. ， offered him plenty of inspiration.The more time he spent observing these animals, the more his understanding of them grew.Day after day, Han Gan painted the horses, his brush presenting every detail that he saw with

his own eyes.
It is said that when the Emperor asked Han Gan to take a master of horse painting as his teacher, the artist replied, “I have my own teachers, Your Majesty.All the horses in your stables are my very teachers.”

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art.But often, it's limited to snowmen or other snow statues.Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world.He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really，” Beck explained.“After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure ...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation，” he said of his first-ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head.It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.But as his designs developed and became more complex (复杂的), Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck's paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what's the quickest way of getting rid of this person，” Beck said.“And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me.I felt like a more valued member of society.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艺术家Simon Beck在雪地上创作巨幅几何画的故事。

A．On maps.　　　　　　 B．On canvas.
C．On soccer fields. D．On snowfields.
√

5．Why did Beck create his first drawing
A．To have fun.
B．To prove his talent.
C．To entertain the skiers.
D．To develop a new hobby.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中Simon Beck说的话“After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure ...”可知，Simon Beck一开始是为了找点乐子才在雪地上画画的。
6．How did Beck feel about his first artwork
A．Surprised. B．Unsatisfied.
C．Annoyed. D．Indifferent.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中Simon Beck说的话“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation”可推断，Simon Beck对他的第一幅作品感到惊喜。
7．What contributed to Beck's art creation
A．His passion for skiing.
B．His competitive nature.
C．His dream to be an artist.
D．His experience of making maps.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist”和第五段中的 “It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.”可推断，他之前制作地图的经验有助于他的艺术创作。

Lynn Colwell is a mixed-media artist in Redmond, Washington.In grade school, a teacher told her that she had no artistic talent and Lynn believed her.However, in 2015 when she retired, she hoped to have a new interest and began to take a year-long online painting class.
“It blew me away，” she says.She started painting striking portraits of women's faces，combined with short messages of hope almost every day.In five years, she's completed about 1,000 paintings.
Lynn gives her paintings away.She started with friends, but that only went so far.Then she read about a movement called Art Abandonment, which encourages artists to leave their art in public places for anyone to pick up.That gave her the idea of putting her work into the hands of strangers through the Internet.
Nearly every day, Lynn posts a painting on her personal web page.The first person who responds saying they're interested in it has 24 hours to make a donation of $25 or more to their favorite nonprofit or an individual in need.Then the painting is theirs.Lynn doesn't ask for proof.She trusts that the people who want her paintings share her ideas.
Five years later, she's still amazed at the results.Her paintings have raised more than $57,000 for nonprofit organizations such as animal rescue centers, homeless shelters as well as for people who have lost their jobs.Sometimes Lynn hears that a painting helped someone at the moment who needed it most.“That gives me chills，” she says.
To be a part of Lynn Colwell's art-for-a-cause effort, send her a friend request to her.Then keep an eye out for a painting that speaks to you.Lynn personally approves each request, so she asks for your patience.Also, she spends most of her time in her art studio — there's painting to be done. “I wake up every day and can't wait to get started，” she says.

Drawing is a great way to express yourself and share your creativity with others. 12 That's because you need only simple supplies.Check out these tips to make your drawing skills better.
Gather supplies
One of the best parts about drawing is that you can get started right away with paper and pencils you already have.Drawing in a sketchbook (素描册) is also a great idea. 13 You can also experiment with other drawing materials, like colored pencils or markers.
Pick your subject
When thinking about what to draw, choose something you feel excited about. 14 Items around your home, like a bowl of fruit or a favorite toy, can also be great subjects.If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, seek inspiration online and print out what you'd like to draw.
Draw often
15 If something does attract you, try to work on it as often as you can.Put a small sketchbook in your backpack, so you can draw when you have free time, like when you're waiting for an activity to start.You could even give yourself mini challenges.For example, you can draw the same object for a week and see how much you improve.
Seek out more resources
You can improve your drawing by practicing on your own, but you can also get better with help.Ask a librarian to help you search for step-by-step drawing books at your local or school library.Museums and art studios in your area may also offer drawing classes. 16
A．It is also an easy hobby to pursue.
B．It takes practice to get really good at drawing.
C．You won't draw perfectly unless you're patient enough.

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art.But often, it's limited to snowmen or other snow statues.Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world.He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow, his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really，” Beck explained.“After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure ...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation，” he said of his first-ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head.It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.But as his designs developed and became more complex (复杂的), Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck's paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what's the quickest way of getting rid of this person，” Beck said.“And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me.I felt like a more valued member of society.”

C．Annoyed. D．Indifferent.
7．What contributed to Beck's art creation
A．His passion for skiing.
B．His competitive nature.
C．His dream to be an artist.
D．His experience of making maps.
