2024-2025学年广东省广州市三校（培正三中四中）高一上学期期中联考英语试题 一、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) A The concept of an art museum is easy enough: that is about art. There are those rare museums focused largely or entirely on the work of just one person. Those senses can be all the richer when you know the museum is the artist’s birthplace or onetime home. Here are four examples of such museums. Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum 611 Massachusetts Ave., Arlington 781-641-0747 The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861—1944) might not be familiar, but several of the sculptor’s works are. His “Appeal to the Great Spirit”, an example of the many sculptures Dallin made relating to Native Americans, stands in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington (Texas) for the final four decades of his life. Norman Rockwell Museum 9 Glendale Road, Stockbridge 413-298-4100, www.nrm.org Rockwell (1894—1978) moved to Stockbridge in 1953. By then he was already America’s best-known illustrator (插图画家). The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present, Robert A.M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell’s art. Kids 6 and under FREE, adults $20, students with D: $10. Edward Gorey House 8 Strawberry Lane, Yarmouth Port 508-362-3909 Edward Gorey (1925—2000) was an artist but, he was other things as well: author, playwright, set and costume designer. Gorey purchased this 18-century house in 1979 and lived there the rest of his life. The house currently serves as a museum celebrating Gorey’s life and work. It’s also known as the Elephant House. That’s appropriate, in light of Gorey’s passion for animal welfare. Gilbert: Stuart Birthplace and Museum 815 Gibert Stuart Road, Saunderstown, R.I 401-294-3001 Gilbert Stuart (1755—1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist. His portrait (画像) of George Washington is the basis of the first president’s image on the dollar bill. As one of the early Republic’s most distinguished artists, Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits over the course of his career. 1. What is the feature these four museums have in common A.
