The stylistic innovation in paining known as Impressionism began in the 1870's. The
Impressionists wanted to depict what they saw in nature, but they were inspired to portray
fragmentary moments by the increasingly fast pace of modern life. They concentrated on
the play of light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up seemingly solid surfaces,
(5) stressing vivid contrast between colors in sunlight and shade, and depiction reflected light
in all of its possibilities. Unlike earlier artists, they did not want to observe the world
from indoors. They abandoned the studio, painting in the open air and recording spontaneous
Impressions of theirsubjects instead of making outside sketches and then moving indoors
to complete the work form. memory.
(10) Some of the Impressionists' painting methods were affected by technological
advances. For example, the shift from the studio to the open air was made possible in
part by the advent of cheap rail travel, which permitted easy and quick access to the
countryside or seashore, as well as by newly developed chemical dyes and oils that led
to collapsible paint tubes, which enabled artists to finish their paintings on tile spot.
(15) Impressionism acquired its name not from supporters but from angry art lovers who
felt threatened by the new painting. The term "Impressionism" was born in 1874,when
a group of artists who had been working together organized an exhibition of their
paintings in order to draw public attention to their work. Reaction from the public and
press was immediate, and derisive. Among the 165 paintings exhibited was one called
(20) Impression: Sunrise, by Claude Monet (1840- 1926),Viewed through hostile eyes,
Monet's painting of a rising sun over a misty, watery scene seemed messy, slapdash,
and an affront to good taste. Borrowing Monet's title, art critics extended the term
"Impressionism" to the entire exhibit. In response, Monet and his 29 fellow artists in
the exhibit adopted the same name as a badge of their unity, despite individual differences.
(25) From then until 1886 Impressionism had all the zeal of a "church", as the painter Renoir
put it. Monet was faithful to the Impressionist creed until his death, although many of the
others moved on to new styles.

听力原文： In my opinion, Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest American architect of the 20th century. People who know his designs well point out that his roofs often leaked, his ceilings were too low, and his houses were uncomfortable. In my presentation, however, I'll be focusing on the virtues of his designs. For what you will see, it would be hard to dispute that he manipulated space extremely well, some of his smallest houses look gigantic, and he had great respect for the materials he used and also a tremendous skill for placing his buildings in harmony with nature. Wright's career began when he was young. He was just a teenager when he helped build the chapel on his family's property in Wisconsin. And from there, he got hired as a draftsman by the project architect. So it was a very long career. He died at 91, while his final major work, the Guggenheim Museum, was still being built. Today, we'll cover what we consider to be the two great periods of his career, Wright’s works before the Tokyo Imperial Hotel completed in 1922 and everything after Falling Water, a private residence in western Pennsylvania completed in 1936. The first period started around 1896, when he made a dramatic shift from the classical tradition to the arts and crafts movement. Here, the emphasis was on order, consistency and unity of design. Things were kept simple with minimal decoration. Natural forms were very important. Let's take a look at a slide of his own dining room done in this style.
