1．阅读理解
What do you e when you look at abstract （抽象的）art? Can you understand it? Does it look like anything?
Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic（现实的）. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.
Picasso is probably the most famous of the artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he ud a lot of blue colours （his "blue period"）. Later, he ud more red and pink colours （his "ro period"）. Many of his other paintings are called "cubist （立体派的）" becau 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 strange that many of his workmates didn't understand it.
Kandinsky, another famous artist, ud lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also ud strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists （超现实主义画家），were interested in subconsciousness （潜意识）. Painters like Breton and Magritte ud many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.
