What do you see when you look at abstract (抽象) art? Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything?　

Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things like they looked. They didn’t want their art to be realistic (现实的). They were more interested in basic shapes（基础的造型） and colours.

Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his “blue period”). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his “rose period”). Many of his other paintings are called “cubist (立体画派)” because they are made of painted squares.

After a long time, Picasso’s paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original, many his fellow artists didn’t understand it.

Kindinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.

Other artists like the surrealists (超现实主义者), they were interested in the subconscious (潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbols (象征) in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn’t always clear. Dai, another artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.

There are still many abstract artists around the world. It's often hard to say what their art is about. That’s the way many artists like better. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

1.Which would be most like abstract art?

A. a painting of a horse

B. a sculpture(雕塑) of a car

C. a drawing of two people in a coffee house.

D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.

2.What happened to Picasso’s work after a long time?

A. It became more abstract.

Lots of people love chocolate. Do you know how to make it? What does a chocolate factory look like? My class had a field trip to a chocolate factory in Toronto.

We visited an old building in ten groups. In the beginning, we put on some special clothes to make sure that we couldn’t dirty the workplace. After preparation(准备), we went to the second floor and walked into the chocolate-making place. The floor was filled with different kinds of machines. Each machine has a different job. There are only two people working on the floor, because machines do most of the work.

In the next room, we learned about the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 people working there. The factory is very different now. How greatly the technology(技术) is changing our life!

Later, we saw how machines made chocolate. We got a cocoa bean(可可豆), some powdered(粉末的) chocolate and a final chocolate. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It doesn’t taste sweet at all, and it’s like dark chocolate. The best cocoa beans come from South America and Africa. Farmers dry them in the sun. Next, workers cook the beans at a high temperature. Machines took the shells(果壳) off the beans and made the beans into chocolate liquor which looks like water. Then, they put chocolate liquor and sugar together to make dark chocolate. If adding milk, they made milk chocolate. The machine made them smooth like silk.

Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is and I also leant a lot of knowledge about chocolate.

1.Why did the writer’s class visit the chocolate factory?

A.Because they were interested in the amazing technology.

B.Because they could get some chocolate at a low price there.

C.Because they wanted to learn something new about chocolate.

2.Where do the best cocoa beans come from?

A.North America. B.Australia. C.Africa.

3.What makes the writer think “How greatly technology is changing our life”?

A.The whole floor only has two machines working.

B.Machines are doing most of the work in this factory.

C.People are making more and more delicious chocolate.

4.The writer thought the field trip was________ .

A.tiring B.unforgettable C.meaningless

5.Which is the RIGHT order about how to make chocolate?

①Cook the beans at a high temperature.

②Dry the cocoa beans in the sun.

③Put chocolate liquor and sugar together.

④ Take the shells off the beans, and made the beans into chocolate liquor.

A.②①④③ B.①②④③ C.②①③④
