For many years, artists have flocked to Paris, France, to paint or to learn to paint. Perhaps artists first went there because of the city′s beauty. They went to paint pictures of the broad, tree-lined streets, the great churches, and the graceful river bridges.
The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art. Paris had great art museums, filled with famous paintings and statues(雕像)from many countries. And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas. In this city, artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting.
As soon as famous artists painted in Paris, students came to learn from them. People came to buy paintings. People called  art dealers set up galleries where paintings were bought and sold. Others kept shops that sold artists′ paints and supplies.
Students and artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money. They learned by studying great art in the museums, and they learned from one another. They held art fairs, hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets.
Today, New York City and Florence, Italy, are also famous art centers. But the world’s main art exhibits are still held in Paris. Important judges of art live there. Most of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris. So artists and art dealers still go to Paris because it is the world′s leading art center.
【小題1】In Pairs artists can make progress in art by doing lots of things except .

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年湖南省高一第三次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?

     First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art.

     On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldn't stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.

1.The aim of the mother’s plan was to _________.

   A. take them to visit the museum

 B. introduce them to the world of art

   C. ask them to read about artists

D. show them different painting styles

2.What was the writer’s experience in the museum before the last visit?

   A. She came to feel her mother’s love.

B. She liked many paintings.

   C. She hardly enjoyed herself.

D. She could understand the pictures of fat babies.

3.What made the writer go through a change that summer?

   A. One of Mary's paintings.            

B. A strange way of painting.

   C. Artists in the Middle Ages.           

D. Her mother’s instruction.

4.From the text, we can see _________.

   A. the importance of curiosity         

B. the effect of art

   C. the value of learning                  

D. the power of family education

5.The writer and her brother had thought that they could ___________ in their summer vacation.

   A. visit some art museums              

B. go to Egypt for a visit

   C. take drawing or painting classes      

D. play with their friends.
