Deafblind artist Tony Giordano led an adventurous life, travelling and playing sports, before completely losing his sight and hearing in 2018. “I was into everything. I loved adventures,” the Brooklyn native said during a Newsday interview on Tuesday.
After learning to communicate using sign language, Giordano wondered what to do next after his sight and hearing losses. While reinventing his life, Giordano said getting into art was not something that crossed his mind at first. But after taking a creative art class at the North Shore facility, Giordano began to discover he enjoyed it. Drawing on his nearly 30 years of experience as an auto mechanic, his welding(焊接) skills and various bursts of inspiration, Giordano began pouring himself into what’s become his specialty—designing metal sculptures.
More than a year later, Giordano now is getting recognition for his art pieces. In December, Giordano made his first sale of a sculpture, a largerthanlife hand made of copper pipes and titled “I Love You” to the artist and collector Jennifer Contini for $1,000. While proud of selling his first art piece, Giordano—who also repairs bicycles at a bike repair shop in St. James—admitted it made him a bit sad.
“His work ethic is really incredible,” said Antonia Isnardi, Giordano’s art teacher. “Learning sculpture is really tough, requiring enormous attention and patience. He could easily say, ‘I lost my vision. I can’t do this’, but he keeps fighting. He perseveres in everything and is willing to try something new to improve in any way.”
Giordano will leave the Port Washington centre this year and return to his home in the South. But he said he considers art his next adventure and hopes his sculptures will be a way to spread a positive message about the capabilities of the deafblind community.
( C )1.What inspired Giordano to go into art?
A.His artistic inspiration.
B.A teacher’s encouragement.
C.A creative art class.
D.His previous working experience.
( C )2.What’s mainly discussed in Paragraph 4 about Giordano?
A.Frustrations in his life.
B.Difficulties he came across when he learnt sculpture.
C.His strong will to learn.
D.The art teacher’s remarks on him.
( B )3.Which of the following best describes Giordano?
A.Wealthy and honest.
B.Creative and determined.
C.Grateful and generous.
D.Adventurous and humorous.
( B )4.Where is the text probably taken from?
A.An art textbook.
B.A local newspaper.
C.A travel brochure.
D.A literature review.

Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years old. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days, a brush was made of camels’ hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cats’ hair would work instead.He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long, the cat began to look ragged(疲乏的).His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr Pennington, came to visit.He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings.When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paints and some brushes.He also sent six engravings(版画) by an artist.These were the first pictures and the first real paints and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.
In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr Pennington returned for another visit.He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift.He asked Benjamin’s parents if he could take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape painting.William Williams, a wellknown painter,came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student.But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nineyearold boy decided then that he would be an artist.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇人物介绍类的记叙文,主要讲述了美国绘画之父本杰明·韦斯特小时候绘画天赋的培养和他在6至9岁时受到的艺术启蒙教育。
5.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段首句“Benjamin West... showed his talent for art when... ”以及第四段首句“In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old... ”和最后一段内容,尤其是最后一句“... boy decided then that he would be an artist.”,并结合全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了本杰明·韦斯特少年时代的艺术启蒙,所以C项能概括文章大意。故选C。
6.D 句意猜测题。根据第二段提到的本杰明剪猫的毛来制作画笔,这导致猫“毁毛破相”和第三段提到的本杰明的堂兄Pennington给他送来了很多画画的颜料和画笔可推断出,本杰明将很快不再需要用猫的毛制作画笔了,他将得到很多真正的画笔。故画线句子指的是猫的命运不久将得到改善,也就是说本杰明不久将会有真正的画笔了。故选D。

Spend time on art. If you only take a moment to consider a work of art, you’ll only generate a moment’s opinion. 2. G Art lets you put life on pause. That’s one of its greatest aspects.
