Abstractartbecamepopularintheearly20thcentury.Artistsdidnotwanttopaint,draw,orsculptthingsexactlyliketheylooked.Theydidn'twanttheirarttoberealistic（现实的）.Theyweremoreinterestedinbasicshapesandcolours.

Picassoisprobablythemostfamousoftheseartists.Hepaintedanddrewinmany,manystyles.Sometimesheusedalotofbluecolours（his"blueperiod"）.Later,heusedmoreredandpinkcolours（his"roseperiod"）.Manyofhisotherpaintingsarecalled"cubist（立体派的）"becausetheyaremadeofpaintedsquares.

Magritte'sartwasfullofsymbols.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文介绍了抽象派艺术及其代表人物毕加索。（1）推理题。根据毕加索是抽象艺术的代表人物Sometimesheusedalotofbluecolours（his"blueperiod"）.Later,heusedmoreredandpinkcolours

有时他使用很多蓝色，后来，他使用了更多的红色和粉色，可知一幅红色和蓝色的画，没有清晰的主题最像抽象艺术，故选D。（2）细节题。根据Afteralongtime,Picasso'spaintingsbecamemoreandmoreabstract可知很久以后毕加索的作品变得更加抽象，故选A。（3）细节题。根据Hispaintingsalsousedstrongcolourstoexpressfeelings可知康定斯通过使用强烈的颜色基表达感情的，故选A。（4）细节题。根据Themeaningorsubjectoftheirworkwasn'talwaysclear.Dali,anothersurrealistartist,paintedpicturesthatlookedlikedreams.他们工作的意义或主题并不总是清楚的。另一位超现实主义艺术家达利画的画看起来像梦可知抽象艺术家觉得每件艺术品只有一种意义是错误的，故选C。【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题，细节题要注意从文中寻找答案；推断题需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息。3．阅读理解
