填空题Rembrandt, a baroque artist, ranks as one of the greatest painters in Western art history. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born on July 15, 1606, in Leiden, the Netherlands. Combining a deep understanding of human nature with brilliant technique, he produced nearly 600 paintings. Rembrandt"s work is famous for its command of light and dark, often using contrast to draw the viewer into the painting. This feature is well-shown from his early work, during the 1620s in Amsterdam. The Night Watch (1642), his largest painting, is a good example: the background is covered in darkness, while the figures at the fore stand in the brightness. His style followed that of his teacher Pieter Lastman in the choice of dramatic subjects, crowded compositions, and contrasts of light and shadow. Using large canvases and strong tones, Rembrandt painted dramatic scenes and also produced small, detailed work with religious and allegoric themes. From the late 1630s, Rembrandt began to paint landscapes. These works were tormented by nature, showing mysterious scenes such as huge fallen trees in a storm or dark, threatening skies. Such characteristics can be found in his painting Stormy Landscape (1638). Towards the end of his life, Rembrandt painted some of his finest self portraits, showing a face on which grief and sorrow had left their marks. They reflected his painful family as opposed to his successful public career. The numerous self-portraits he produced give us a remarkable record of the aging process of his own facial features in addition to the changes of his personal character. Compared to other artists of his time, Rembrandt studied the world surrounding him more clearly and with greater insight. The consistently high standard throughout his work has eared Rembrandt the reputation as one of the central figures in the Golden Age of" Dutch art, along with Hals and Vermeer. Furthermore, it is known that Rembrandt ran a large workshop and had many pupils. His fame was such that important dignitaries visiting Amsterdam wished to buy pieces, and he was more than willing to comply if he could. The list of Rembrandt"s pupils from his period in Leiden as well as his time in Amsterdam is quite long, mostly because his influence on painters around him was so great that it is difficult to tell whether someone worked for him in his studio or just copied his style for patrons eager to acquire a Rembrandt. Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank. Rembrandt was one of the most renowned artists of the Baroque period. He combined a profound understanding of humanity with excellent 1 to become one of the greatest artists in Western history. His work is famous for its use of differing tones of darkness and 2 to produce dramatic effect. Rembrandt"s landscape work contained 3 scenes, while his portrait work charted his aging and 4 pain. His insight and consistent brilliance has established him as a true master of art. He owned a workshop in Amsterdam and he always painted for important 5 . Also, he had many pupils working in his studio all the time.

填空题The world is full of wonderful places, both natural and man-made. Easter Island lays in the south-eastern Pacific Ocean, about 3,600 31 Kilometers west of mainland Chile. The island is called Easter Island because of it was discovered on Easter Sunday in 1772 by Dutch 32 explorer Jacob Roggeveen. Inhabited by Polynesians since 300 or 400 CE, Easter Island is now a World Heritage Site. The most amazed sight on it is the giant statues carved out of 33 the volcanic rock. These massive stone figures have made Easter Island a famous site. They were probable made by Polynesians 34 Between about 1000 and 1600 CE. One mystery about these statues is how the primitive Polynesians, using only the simplest stone tools, 35 carved and then move these statues. The answer seems to be that they 36 were pulled along the rails made from trees by lots of people together. This could also be the reason why there are few tree on the island 37 Over the centuries, Easter Island has suffered from deforestation, disease, war and climate changes. As result, most of the island"s native Polynesian 38 identify has been lost. However, the island"s magnificent stone figures 39 will keep people fascinating in Polynesian history and culture for many 40 years to come.

填空题Alaska is disappearing slowly but surely. Since the 1950s, it is estimated that as much as 15 percent of Alaska"s area has disappeared. But how can a whole state be disappearing? One reason for Alaska"s gradual disappearance is the melting of its glaciers. According to one geologist at the US Geological Survey, about 98% of Alaska"s glaciers are either unmoving or diminishing. This diminishing seems mainly due to the increase in global temperatures. Since the 1960s, the average year--round temperature has increased by 5°F. Additionally, the average winter temperature has increased by 8°F. Presently, an estimated 24 cubic miles of ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year. It may be even more in the near future, as some scientists predict that the average world temperature could go up 2.5 to 10 °F by the year 2100. Another problem contributing to Alaska"s gradual disappearance is its melting permafrost. Much of the land in Alaska was permanently frozen, or frozen for most of the year. This maintained its stability. Now, the melting permafrost is causing a number of problems on land. Roads and utility poles are collapsing. Also, the hard permafrost, which originally prevented beaches from eroding during violent storms is now melting. Affected villages are forced to move somewhere else. For villages on small low islands, one terrible storm could wipe out the entire community. Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to the global increase in weather temperature. Whether the rising temperatures are caused by human activity or natural changes, the fact remains that Alaska is warming. Sadly, this could be a preview of what will happen to the rest of the world in the next century. Summary: There is a big problem in Alaska. The 1 are melting. Scientists 2 that 15 percent of Alaska has already melted. They say this change is the result of 3 in the Earth"s 4 The higher temperatures are 5 several problems in Alaska. The ground that was 6 before is now beginning to defrost. This could be a(n) 7 of what will happen to the rest of the world in the next century.
