(18631957) is one of the best-known contemporary chinese artists. his life shows he achieved success by combining talent with hard work.he was born in a peasant family. at 11 he was sent to learn carpentry (木匠活). through his work he got to know some local scholars. one of them, hu shenyuan, offered to teach his painting and poetry. during this period he earned his living by painting portraits and selling his works. gradually he developed a reputation as an artist as well as a carpenter. in those years he devoted himself to poetry, calligraphy (书法), and seal-carving. although he admitted he was a versatile (多才多艺的) artist, his own criteria (标准) of his successes placed poetry first, seal-carving second, calligraphy third, and painting last.from 1902 to 1916, qi toured the country five times, and he left his footmarks in many cities, such as beijing and hongkong. the trips broadened his vision and changed his style. in 1917 he settled down in beijing, where he met many artists and scholars, and made friends with chen shizeng. chen advised him not to imitate early masters and to form his own style.through long years of practice, qi baishi evolved a distinctive personal style. the subjects of his painting were wide and various, and the flowers, birds, fish, prawns (虾), and insects he painted are most admired by his public. to improve his technique of painting prawns, he raised some at home and frequently observed their movements. he wrote in his diary about how he had changed his method of painting prawns: “at first my prawns owned a reasonable similarity, then they became even more realistic, and finally light and dark colors became properly contrasted. these are the three changes.” qi baishi was able to portray the same object in either the xieyi or the gongbi style. when he painted a dragonfly in a detailed manner, he even drew the veins (翅膀) in its wings. when he adopted a bold, free style, he used only a few dry, expressive strokes to form it. what is fascinating about his work is that in some pictures both methods are used.56. in his early life, what was qi baishi famous for?a. paintingb. poetry c. calligraphy d. seal-carving 57. the underlined word “imitate” in para 3 probably means _.a. stealb. changec. occupyd. copy58. why did qi baishi raise some prawns at home?a. to improve his painting techniquesb. to entertain himselfc. to make moneyd. to observe how they grow up59. which of the following is qis fascination about his works?a. he could draw many animals in a painting.b. he drew the veins in a dragonflys wings.c. he could draw different colours of prawns.d. he could use the xieyi and the gongbi styles in a painting.(b)researchers and many scientists are concerned that the earths climate and atmosphere are becoming warmer than they should be. what scientists do agree on is that the temperature will continue to increase if measures are not taken to reduce pollution and emission (排放物) from cars and factories.it is widely agreed that oil and coal create greenhouse gases when they are burned to produce heat or power. these emissions include carbon dioxide, which is the cause of most of the global warming problem. the loss of the trees in many areas is making the problem worse, because trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. the fewer trees that are left standing, the less carbon dioxide can be absorbed.scientists predict that the sea level will rise, ice caps (冰盖) will melt, and some animals and plants will fail to survive because their habitat will disappear. there may be more deserts and less available farmland because of the dry ground, and there may be more storms and floods in many countries.some countries, including the uk and the us, are taking steps to prevent the situation from becoming worse. there are programmes to educate citizens and students about the situation and recycling waste is becoming more common. new guidelines are being introduced to try to limit greenhouse gases from being produced by factories and businesses. using more alternative energy sources is also a good way to prevent global warming.one thing that everyone can do is limit their use of energy every day, and you can do this no matter how old or young you are. try to limit the unnecessary use of electricity and work to conserve energy every day.60. what is the best title for the text? a. how to reduce emissionsb. what global warming brings c. take action to prevent global warmingd. no emissions, no warming 61. _ lead to global warming problems. a. more greenhouse gases and fewer treesb. more trees and less carbon dioxidec. more plants and less oxygend. more greenhouse gases and fewer animals62. some countries are doing all of the following except _ to prevent global warming.a. recycling wasteb. limiting guidelines on factoriesc. using alternative energy sourcesd. offering programes to educate citizens63. what is the authors attitude toward global warming?a. concernedb.
