　　(2015·新课标全国卷)

　　Salvador Dali (1904—1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L'Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist's showman qualities.

　　The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.

　　The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限), “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum­theatre in Figueras，” explains the Pompidou Centre.

　　The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain. and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.

　　语篇解读　本文介绍了著名的西班牙艺术家萨尔瓦多·达利的艺术作品即将在法国巴黎The Pompidou Centre展出的情况。

　　1．Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?

　　A. Optimistic.

　　B. Productive.

　　C. Generous.

　　D. Traditional.

　　答案与解析　B　考查推理判断。根据第一段可知，艺术家萨尔瓦多·达利的200多幅油画、雕塑和绘画作品等将在巴黎的The Pompidou Centre展出。由此可判断这个艺术家的创作颇丰。optimistic“乐观的”；productive“多产的”；generous“慷慨的”；traditional“传统的”。故选B。

　　2．What is Dali's The Persistence of Memory considered to be?

　　A. One of his masterworks.

　　B. A successful screen adaptation.

　　C. An artistic creation for the stage.

　　D. One of the best TV programmes.

　　答案与解析　A　考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory”可知，萨尔瓦多·达利的作品The Persistence of Memory被认为是他的一幅杰作。

　　3．How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?

　　A. By popularity.

　　B. By importance.

　　C. By size and shape.

　　D. By time and subject.

　　答案与解析　D　考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain”可知，达利的世界是按照时间和主题组织作品展览的。

　　4．What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?

　　A. Artworks.

　　B. Projects.

　　C. Donations.

　　D. Documents.

　　答案与解析　A　考查词义猜测。根据最后一段可知，多家博物馆通力合作，共同精选展出作品。文中提到像西班牙马德里的博物馆和圣彼德斯堡的博物馆这样的机构也提供萨尔瓦多·达利的作品参加展览。由此推测，contributions指“作品”，故选A。
