   New picture
   The Gallery (美术馆) now has a fine still life by the Dutch 18th century painter Jan van Os. This large picture (89.1cm × 71cm) of flowers and fruit is painted in light bright colours on wood. It is one of the first pictures of this type in the Gallery. The picture is signed and dated 1777 and 1778. It is not unusual for a picture like this to be dated in two years : the artist waited for par ticular flowers to come out in their different seasons in order to paint them. This picture was given to the Gallery by Miss Violet Churchman in memory of her sister Ida Nancy. It is now on show in Room 25.
   Special exhibition
   The exhibition ’Painting in Spain During the Late 18th Century’ opened in the Sunley Room on 15 March. Recently the Gallery has bought works by three Spanish painters of this period -- Paret, Melendez and Francisco Bayeu, who are the focus (重点) of the exhibition. These three artists are joined by Francisco’ s brother Ramon, by Antonio Gonzalez, and by two Italians who worked in Spain during these years -- Corrado Giaquinto and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The exhibition runs until 31 May.
   Lecture news
   Lectures will be given along with the special exhibition every Wednesday. On 5 April, Lizzie Barker will discuss the work of Melendez, while on 12 April, Sarah Symmons will lecture on Luis Parter. On 19 and 26 April, Juliet Wilson will talk about Francisco Bayeu. On 25 April, a Tues day, Erika Langmuir will explain how artists often ’ tell a story’ through their pictures.
What is a "still life" ( line 1, para. 1 ) according to the text?
选项 A、A painting of unmoving objects.
B、An unusual picture of a country scene.
C、A painting done in bright colours.
D、A large picture shown in a public place.
答案A
解析 释义题。题干意为“按照文章，‘still life’的意思是什么”。从文章的第一段第二句话…flowers and fruits is painted in light bright colors on wood可知，图画中画的是一些花朵和水果。所以这里的still life指的是静态的事物。所以本题的正确答案为A。
