Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023·苏锡常镇教学调查)Chinese society,basically agricultural,has always laid great stress on understanding the pattern of nature and living in harmony with it.The world of nature was seen as the visible expression of the workings of a higher power through the interaction of the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.As Chinese art developed,its purpose turned to the expression of human understanding of these forces,in the form of painting of landscapes,bamboo,birds,and flowers.
Particularly in early times,art also had social and moral functions.The earliest wall paintings referred to in ancient texts often described merciful emperors,officials,and their evil opposites as examples and warnings to the living.Human relationships have always been of great importance in China,and a common theme of figure painting is that of gentlemen enjoying staying together or of the depressing partings and infrequent reunions.Among the typical themes of traditional Chinese art,there is no place for war,violence or death.No theme would be accepted in traditional Chinese art that was not inspiring,noble,or refreshing to the spirit.
In the broadest sense,therefore,all traditional Chinese art is symbolic,for everything that is painted reflects some aspect of what the painter is aware of.Bamboo suggests the spirit of the person,which can be bent by circumstance but never broken.The dragon is the wholly kindhearted symbol of the emperor;the crane(鹤)symbolizes long life;and paired mandarin ducks symbolize wedded loyalty.Popular among the many symbols drawn from the plant world are the orchid(兰花),a symbol of purity;the plum blossom(梅花),which comes out even in the snow and stands for uncontrollable purity,in either a revolutionary political or a spiritual sense;and the pine tree,which may represent either survival in a fierce political environment or the unconquerable spirit of old age.

(2023·广州调研测试)Pieter Bruegel's iconic 1565 painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.The work showed people harvesting wheat nearly as tall as they were.“Nowadays,however,if you walk through a wheat field,you basically see that wheat is about kneeheight.The reduced height is essentially a consequence of being bred (培育) along with genes for increasing production to feed a growing population,”biologist De Smet explained.
De Smet says wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can allow us to track the transformation of food crops over time.He teamed up with art historian Vergauwen,a friend since childhood,to document such artwork around the world.They have been mainly looking at things where they can spot changes in shape,color and size.
Their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum,where they noticed an oddlooking watermelon in an early17thcentury painting.It appeared to be pale and white on the inside.Biologist De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job.But art historian Vergauwen had a different idea.“No,this is one of the best painters ever from that era.So if he painted it like that,that's the way it must have looked like,”he explained.
Other paintings revealed that both red and white watermelons were grown during the 17th century.“With all the genetic knowledge we now have,we can look at how something comes about in more detail,”De Smet said.“For example,until the 18th century,European strawberries appeared tiny in paintings—they then grew in size as they were crossbred with North American varieties.”
Ultimately,the team hopes to create an online research database of historical plant artwork.They seek the contributions of art enthusiasts around the world via the social media.“However,”Vergauwen reminds,“if you're going to use,for example,Picasso to try and understand how a pear looked in the early 20th century,you might be misled.”
