(2018·成都高三诊断性检测)Johannes Vermeer is such a quiet and introspective(内省的)artist that it took hundreds of years for anyone to notice he was a genius.
A major Vermeer exhibition opens this month at the Louvre in Paris, whose permanent collection includes his great painting of a woman absorbed in close, visually demanding work, The Lacemaker (about 1669－1670). Like other paintings by Vermeer, this image represents modern culture.
So attracted are today’s art lovers by Vermeer that it was thought shocking when a recent survey found that 82% of Americans can’t name who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring. Well, maybe they don’t go to the movies much.
It is not true to say he was forgotten—that would suggest he was famous in his lifetime. He was not. Vermeer was one more painter among the many who worked for money in the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. He was not a star like Rembrandt. He obviously took himself and his art seriously. His selfreferential painting The Art of Painting proves that. Even though he worked all his life in Delft, he painted only 35 known works and left his family poor when he died in 1675 at the age of 43.
It is fitting that Paris is celebrating Vermeer, because it was the French avantgarde(先锋派) in the 19th century who saved him from being completely forgotten. Compare his painting Woman in Blue Reading a Letter or The Little Street with, say, Edouard Manet’s A Bar at the FoliesBergère(1882)or Camille Pissarro’s The Boulevard Montmartre at Night (1897) and it is easy to see why the art of Vermeer found its natural audience in Parisian Bohemia.
All these artists are likely to have known about and admired Vermeer due to the efforts of the critic ThoréBürger, a veteran of the 1848 Revolution.
Vermeer’s rediscovery is part of the history of modern French art. Vermeer is not only a great artist. He is a great modern artist.

【解题导语】 本文告诉我们将来会有更多的学校推广京剧。
1．and 解析：考查连词。多个名词一起作主语时，应该在最后两个名词之间用and连接。文中Primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, universities这四个名词作并列的主语。
2．to watch 解析：考查非谓语动词。opportunity后常接不定式作定语，表示“做……的机会”。
3．issued 解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词作定语；issue与a guideline是被动关系，所以用issue的过去分词形式作定语。
4．an 解析：考查冠词。根据语境可知，此处表示泛指；又因为opera以元音音素开头，故填an。
5．will be 解析：考查时态。根据本句中的时间状语“in 2020”可知，空处应用一般将来时。
6．It 解析：考查代词。此处应用It指代the guideline。
7．investment 解析：考查名词。分析句子结构可知，此处用名词作encourages的宾语。
8．with 解析：考查with复合结构。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处为with复合结构，其中the most famous作宾语补足语。
9．are listed 解析：考查动词时态和语态。根据语境可知，京剧和昆剧被联合国教科文组织列为非物质文化遗产，所以空处用被动语态，又因为此处描述的是客观事实，故用一般现在时。
10．cultural 解析：考查形容词。此处应用形容词修饰名词，故填cultural。
