Ⅵ.阅读理解

Creative Learning
High school programmes at the National Gallery of Art value depth over breadth, exploring original works of art through a single specific question or theme.
High School Studio Workshops
Grades 9-12, Single museum visit, 2.5 hours
These halfday art workshops include an indepth examination and discussion of works of art in the galleries, followed by behindthescenes(幕后的) access to the Education Studio, where students create a related art project.
During the workshop, National Gallery of Art educators will encourage students to look carefully at works of art and then share their responses and they will inspire students to develop theories based on their observations.
Students will have the opportunity to create a work of art in the studio inspired by what they have seen in the galleries.
Museum Makers: Exploring Art and Museums
Grades 11-12
The Museum Makers programme explains how museums operate and what they have to offer. It gives upperlevel high school students the tools to experience, understand and interpret art. Participants will gain an insider’s view of how an art museum works.
Students meet for seven Saturday sessions from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Completion of the programme requires attendance of all seven sessions.
Creative Writing in the Galleries
Grades 7-12, 90 minutes
Students will provide a voice for their personal responses to art through creative writing while looking at a selection of artworks in the galleries. Using close observation,group discussion, and personal reflection, they will be guided through exercises that use different writing forms, including freeform poetry.

2.C 细节理解题。根据Museum Makers: Exploring Art and Museums部分的“Participants will gain an insider’s view of how an art museum works.(参与者将从内部人员的角度了解艺术博物馆是如何运作的。)”可知,学生在Museum Makers: Exploring Art and Museums 课程中可以学到博物馆是如何运作的相关知识。故选C。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“High school programmes at the National Gallery of Art value depth over breadth”和Creative Writing in the Galleries部分的“A maximum of 30 students(minimum of 15) will be accommodated in each session.[每节课最多可容纳30名学生(最少15人)。]”可知,该项目要求高中生参加,且每节课最多可容纳30名学生,由此可知,B项“30名十年级的学生”符合题意。故选B。

Over the past few years, a new street art form in Sweden has been opening our eyes to a world we had not given much thought to before. A collection of artists installed tiny buildings, stores and cafes across the streets of Sweden and Europe designed to be inhabited by mice.
The scenes, like the fairy tales that inspired them, are dreamy and adorable. A miniature record store, complete with a bottle cap banjo(班卓琴),a small restaurant, a travel agent, a jazz club—all crafted to the tiniest detail.
“Well, it started with a few of us just wanting to construct something in a public setting, and the discussion narrowed in on our love for the movies of Disney,” said Jim Hanks, one artist of this group. “We like to think of it as something we ourselves would love to meet unexpectedly in an otherwise dull concrete environment.” Now, they’ve completed an estimated 30 installations, mostly in Malmo and Stockholm in Sweden.
After scouting a location, the group then research the local history of the area they are in to inform their design. Once sketched out, the constructions take up to two months to build before they are installed in the dead of night.
“We just want to bring a little bit of magic into people’s everyday lives, and maybe inspire someone to create something on their own street,” Jim Hanks said. “We like to imagine a world where small animals live parallel to us, and recycle objects we lose or throw away, so a bottle cap becomes a chair, a box of matches becomes a table, a stamp becomes a painting and a trash can becomes a restaurant.”
Michael Gehrisch, an American photographer based in Lund, Sweden, captured a few of the dreamlike miniature scenes on video, which show stunned onlookers bending impossibly low to the ground to take pictures and admire the work.
( D )4.What is the main feature of the works of these artists?
A.Animalfriendly. B.Multifunctional.
C.Oldfashioned. D.Smallsized.
( A )5.What does the author want to show by mentioning Michael’s video in the last paragraph?
A.People’s love for this street art form.
B.The best way to appreciate the work.
C.Proper behaviours of onlookers in public.
D.People’s awareness of environmental protection.
( C )6.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Street Art in All Its Forms
B.A New Environmental Initiative
C.Miniature Stores for Mice
D.The Revival of a Traditional Art
【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了瑞典的一种新兴的街头艺术形式,一群艺术家在瑞典和欧洲的街道上设计了供老鼠居住的微型建筑、商店和咖啡馆。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第二段“The scenes, like the fairy tales that inspired them, are dreamy and adorable. A miniature record store, complete with a bottle cap banjo(班卓琴),a small restaurant, a travel agent, a jazz club—all crafted to the tiniest detail.(这些场景就像给他们灵感的童话故事一样,梦幻而可爱。一个微型唱片店,配有一个带瓶盖的班卓琴,一个小餐馆,一个旅行社,一个爵士俱乐部——所有这些都被精心制作到最微小的细节。)”可知,这些艺术家的作品的主要特色就是小。故选D。
5.A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可知,住在瑞典隆德的美国摄影师Michael Gehrisch在视频中捕捉到了一些梦境般的微缩场景,从这些场景中可以看出,目瞪口呆的围观者难以置信地弯下腰来拍照和欣赏这些作品。由此可推断,作者提到Michael Gehrisch的视频,是为了表明人们对这种街头艺术形式的喜爱。故选A。
6.C 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A collection of artists installed tiny buildings, stores and cafes across the streets of Sweden and Europe designed to be inhabited by mice. (一群艺术家在瑞典和欧洲的街道上设计了供老鼠居住的微型建筑、商店和咖啡馆。)”及下文内容可知,文章主要介绍了一种新的街头艺术形式,一群艺术家在街道上设计了供老鼠居住的微型建筑、商店和咖啡馆等。所以“Miniature Stores for Mice(为老鼠设计的迷你商店)”为文章的最佳标题。故选C。
Ⅶ.七选五
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Art exploration is not only fun and entertaining, but also educational. It allows kids to practise a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning. Here are some tips for growing your upandcoming artist.
Talk with your child about their work. 1. D , even though the child knows exactly what it is. When we ask, “What is it?”, we are saying that it should look like something we’d recognise. Instead, ask openended questions like “Tell me about your picture.” You can also describe specific things your child is doing by saying things such as, “You’re making short lines. I see you are using red, green and blue.”
Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child and do their actions. 2. G . If your child concentrates on what you are drawing or how “good” your picture is, they are less likely to be imaginative and creative on their own.
3. B . Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment and use their imagination. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times—this is all part of the creative process.
Support, but don’t lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by someone else. 4. A . So let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. Maybe they want to peel the paper off a crayon and use it lengthwise on the paper, instead of writing with the tip.
Get your child creating and learning. 5. F .
A.It is the same case with kids
B.Keep the process openended
C.Don’t shift their focus onto their drawings
D.It’s often hard to interpret a child’s drawing
E.Focus on the product, not the complex process
F.All you’ll need is a paintbrush and an open mind
G.Make big or small lines, or practise drawing circles
【语篇解读】作者认为艺术探索不仅具有趣味性和娱乐性,而且具有教育意义,并介绍了一些培养孩子成为艺术家的技巧。
1.D 根据本段首句“Talk with your child about their work.(和孩子谈谈他们的作品。)”和下文“even though the child knows exactly what it is (即使孩子确切知道那是什么)”可知,空处与孩子的作品有关,所以选项D “It’s often hard to interpret a child’s drawing(通常很难理解孩子的画)”与下文存在语义上的让步关系,符合语境,下文中的it指代选项中的 a child’s drawing。故选D。
2.G 根据上文“Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child and do their actions.(做你孩子做的事。与其自己画画,不如坐下来和孩子一起做他们的动作。)”可知,选项G“Make big or small lines, or practise drawing circles (画或大或小的线,或练习画圆)”与上文内容一致,指的是模仿孩子正在做的事,同时也呼应下文中的“what you are drawing(你在画什么)”。故选G。
3.B 此处为段首句,为本段的主题句。根据下文“Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment and use their imagination. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times—this is all part of the creative process.(与其带着脑海中的一个具体的计划或结果坐下来,不如让你的孩子去探索、实验和发挥他们的想象力。他们可能会搞得一团糟,或者几次改变主意——这些都是创意过程的一部分。)”可知,作者建议读者不要在脑海中想具体的计划或结果,而是让孩子自己去探索整个过程。因此选项B“Keep the process openended(保持过程的开放性)”为本段的主题句,总领全段内容。故选B。
4.A 根据空前“Support, but don’t lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by someone else?(支持,而不是领导。你是否注意到,当别人告诉你一些事情时,这些事情就变得不那么有趣了?)”和空后“So let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. (所以让他们决定他们想要使用什么材料,如何使用以及何时使用。)”可知,不要告诉孩子该做什么。选项A“It is the same case with kids (孩子也是一样)”承上启下,既承接上文表示孩子也不喜欢你告诉他们该做什么,又引出下文让孩子自行决定做什么。故选A。
5.F 根据空前“Get your child creating and learning.(让你的孩子创造和学习。)”可知,作者鼓励读者让自己的孩子去创造和学习;选项F“All you’ll need is a paintbrush and an open mind(你所需要的只是一支画笔和一个开放的思想)”在语义上承接上文。故选F。
