问题     Impressionism is a form of art that began in the 1870’ s. When you look closely at an impressionist painting, you see little dots of different colored paints. When you move away from the picture, the dots of colors blend together and the painting looks like it has light playing on the people and objects in the picture. Impressionist art is different from traditional art. Traditional painters were interested in the form of objects. The impressionists were interested in light and color. The impressionist painters wanted to paint natural light that was lively and bright. They tried to express the feeling of pure sunshine in their paintings.  When traditional artists mixed paints, they could not create the feeling of bright, natural light. Therefore, instead of mixing colers, the impressionists used small dots of pure colors. The viewers’ eyes put these unmixed colors together the same way they add color in light together. When you look at an impressionist  painting, it feels the same as when you look at an object in lively, natural sunlight.
    Traditional painters worked inside. Impressionist painters worked outside because they wanted to paint the effect of sunlight on objects. Monet, for example, made a series of paintings of a haystack. Every  morning he went to a field with eight or ten paintings. All day, he sat in front of a haystack painting. Every hour he worked on a different picture. All of these paintings are pictures of the haystack, but they do not look the same. Monet made his paintings directly from the changing of nature, especially from different  hours of sunlight. His study of the haystack is an hour-by-hour record of the artistry(艺术性) of light.

答案They could not create the feeling of bright and natural light
解析 在说明和叙述一件事情时，作者常常利用对比手法。所谓对比就是并列比较事实，突出其中的主要区别。通过对比，读者对要了解的事物更加清楚，更加深刻。正如我们要形容一栋高层大楼时，如果加上一句“旁边的大烟囱还不到大楼的一半”，这比单独描述房子高50或100米要形象得多。此问题所问的正是对比中的一句话。
