Watercolor is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cavemen who discovered
they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.
Fresco(湿壁画), one of the greatest of all art forms, is done with watercolor. It is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster(灰泥). Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelo's heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, very few know that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting by the Flemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go downhill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches(草图)or as a tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have a widelyknown love for outdoors and also small private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a remarkably strong attraction for them.
The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until the twentieth century. The United States passed England as the center for watercolor, producing such well known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.

Scotland's first Confucius classroom was officially opened recently. The Confucius classroom at St George's school was opened by the Lord Provost and will be used as a center for pupils studying Chinese language and culture.
When opening the classroom, the Lord Provost said, “Learning about Chinese culture is very important for young people today to understand the connection between their lives and the lives of others throughout the world.”
Marilyne MacLaren, one of the officials said, “It is necessary for young people growing up in the 21st century to be educated about other major players in the world affairs. The new program started in Scotland will provide an excellent chance for more school pupils in Scotland to learn Chinese language, which is fast becoming an international language.”
St George's school Head Teacher Judith McCure said, “We are glad to be working with other Scotland schools on this important program. International education is of great importance for today's global development and the Confucius classroom will give pupils the chance to work together to experience the richness of Chinese language and culture. It will be a lively place for learning and will allow teachers to share resources(资源)and practice together.”
The first schools to benefit from this program will be St George's and six other high schools. The Confucius classroom is funded(资助)by the Chinese government and will also be supported by the network of Confucius Classroom Hubs in Scotland.
5．The following statements are true EXCEPT________.
A ．the Confucius classroom in Scotland was funded by the Chinese government
B ．the opening of the Confucius classrooms can make pupils learn Chinese language and culture
C ．International education is very important for the global development
D ．the first Confucius classroom in Scotland will benefit six schools including St George's 答案：D 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“第一批受益的学校是圣·乔治中学和另外六所中学，可知D 项表述不正确，符合题意。根据最后一段，孔子课堂是由中国政府资助的，所以A 项表述正确；根据第一段、第二段和第四段可知，孔子学校的开办给了学生一个学习汉语和了解中国文化的机会，因此B 项表述正确；根据倒数第三段，国际教育对于全球发展很重要，所以C 项表述正确。”
6．What does Marilyne MacLaren mean by mentioning“other major players”in the third paragraph?
A ．athletes in sports competitions
B ．people who do nothing but play
C ．countries which play important parts in international affairs
D ．people who act in plays
答案：C

A ．let British students work with Chinese students
B ．not be connected with global development
C ．improve the friendship between Chinese schools and Scotland schools
D ．benefit both teachers and students
答案：D 考查推理判断。根据第四段最后两句可以知道孔子课堂的开办给老师和学生机会合作与共享，对他们都有益，因此D 项正确。根据第四段第二句，英国学生们合作学习体验汉语和中国文化，而不是与中国学生合作，所以A 项不正确；另外第四段第二句告诉读者，国际教育对于全球发展至关重要，因此B 项表述不正确；根据第四段第一句可以知道圣·乔治中学很乐意与苏格兰其他的中学成为合作伙伴，所以C 项不正确。
