(时间：100分钟　满分：120分) 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A In our annual Readers' Choice Awards survey，we asked our readers to rate their favorite cities in the world for arts and culture.These cities are centers of music and dance，museums，and theaters.Here are four of them where you can find inspiration in the arts，starting with the top spot. Rome，Italy At its peak，the Roman Empire extended over nearly two million square miles of land across Europe，Asia Minor and North Africa.Today，that history is on display everywhere.The city's main attractions are famous not because of tourist advertisements，but because they are really so impressive.No wonder it's known as the Eternal City：You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day. Paris，France Hemingway famously called Paris “a moveable feast”，but wherever you go while in the city，there is always something to see，hear，taste or feel.With some 150 museums，Paris doubles as an art history class，offering the very best of the discipline across centuries and styles. London，the United Kingdom London is inspiration and setting for the rise of Shakespeare，Dickens，Orwell and Eliot and the breeding ground for all those iconic(标志性的) bands：The Kinks，The Clash and The Stones.London is also Banksy's favorite canvas，home to more than 1,000 galleries，and the kind of pace where you can spend a whole day in a single museum and still be ready for more when it opens the next morning. Vienna，Austria As we all know，Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria's capital，which nurtured many famous musicians.It's also the site of the Vienna Secession，a revolutionary art movement founded in 1897 by Gustav Klimt.Visitors today can see the fruits of all that creativity in the city's 100­odd museums. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四个艺术和文化城市。 1．Why is Rome regarded as the Eternal City? A．It had an important role in history. B．Its history can be seen everywhere. C．People can easily find new art and culture. D．People can spend money well there. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“No wonder it's known as the Eternal City：You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day.”可知，罗马被认为是永恒之城的原因是人们很容易发现新的艺术和文化。故选C。 2．What does the underlined word “nurtured” in the last paragraph mean? A．Produced. B．Affected. C．Attracted. D．Changed. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据后面的句子“many famous musicians”可知，此处表达的应该是“产生”了很多著名的音乐家。故选A。 3．Which column can we probably find the text? A．History. B．Art. C．Education. D．Life. 解析：选B　推理判断题。本文主要介绍了四个艺术和文化城市，所以我们可以在艺术专栏中找到这篇课文。故选B。 B Tod Morgan was born blind，mentally challenged，and autistic.So he couldn't see; he could not learn like other children，and he didn't interact with people very much.He did not seem to have much of a chance. Then，when he was two years old，he began to play little songs on his tiny toy piano.He could play perfectly some of the children's tunes he had heard. Today，Tod works as a professional pianist.He plays jazz，Broadway songs，and classical pieces.After hearing a tune，he can imitate it almost perfectly the first time he plays it.Tod doesn't only imitate; he is creative too.He can change a classical piece to a jazz piece，a jazz piece to a polka，and a polka to a waltz.In addition to the piano，Tod can play 13 other instruments and also can sing.Tod's list of musical heroes includes Louis Daniel Armstrong，Mozart，and Beethoven.How can this be？How can such a severely challenged person be so musically talented? Tod has what is called “savant syndrome” — a condition in which a mentally challenged person has a highly developed talent of a specific kind.Savant syndrome is a mystery to medical researchers.One person who is studying savant syndrome is Dr.David Brighton.He says that he has never seen a musical savant like Tod.Most musical savants are limited to simply repeating tunes they hear.Dr.Brighton points out that Tod's ability to come up with his own tunes is a giant step beyond memorization. As for Tod，after studying jazz piano at the Rivers School in Massachusetts，he attended and graduated from the famous Berklee College of Music in Boston.Tod is encouraged by his parents as he performs all over the world appearing on TV and radio shows. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。Tod Morgan生来双目失明，智力有缺陷，患有自闭症，但是他极有音乐天赋，已成为一名专业的钢琴家。 4．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Tod was not likely to be completely cured. B．Tod's chances of success in life were small. C．Tod's ability to learn music was very limited. D．Tod would have few opportunities to meet others. 解析：选B　句意理解题。根据第一段中的“So he couldn't...people very much.”可知，他看不见东西，不能像其他孩子那样学习，也不怎么与人交流。再结合下文叙述的他成了一名专业钢琴家可知，画线句说明他似乎没有成功的可能性。 5．A person with savant syndrome is . A．mentally disabled but specially gifted B．socially inactive but musically talented C．physically disabled but highly intelligent D．psychologically challenged but physically gifted 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，患有学者综合征的人智力有缺陷，但具有高度发达的某种特殊才能。 6．What distinguishes Tod from most musical savants? A．His memory. B．His creativity. C．His sociability. D．His learning speed. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，大多数音乐专家都局限于简单地重复他们听到的曲调，而Tod能够想出自己的曲调，这是他在记忆之外迈出的一大步。据此可知，创造力使他有别于大多数音乐专家。 7．What can be concluded from the text? A．Tod is a typical case of a serious disease. B．Family support is vital to Tod's recovery. C．Music connects Tod to the world around him. D．Music education is a cure to the mentally disabled. 解析：选C　推理判断题。通读尾段可知，Tod在马萨诸塞州里弗斯学校学习爵士钢琴，之后在波士顿著名的伯克利音乐学院上学和毕业，其后在世界各地的电视和广播节目上表演。再结合上文叙述的他生来双目失明，智力有缺陷，患有自闭症，似乎没有成功的可能性可推知，音乐把Tod和他周围的世界联系起来。 C “Is it art？” Tyka，an artist and software engineer，asked the audience at Christie's 2019 Art＋Tech Summit in New York in June 2019.The event's theme was “The AI Revolution”，and Tyka was referring to artwork created using artificial intelligence.He flashed an image of urinal(小便池) on two large screens at either side of the stage—Marcel Duchamp's famous and controversial sculpture Fountain.The audience laughed.“Obviously，it can be，” he said. However，many in the art community are wrestling with several unanswered questions after an algorithm­produced(演算法) print that resembled 19th century European portraits was sold for $ 432,500.For example：when artwork is accomplished by means of the algorithm，who is the artist—the programmer or the computer？Because many works of AI art are digital，how do you value a creation that's designed to live natively on the Internet and be widely shared？There are few clear answers. Claire Marmion，the founder and CEO of Haven Art Group，says collectors are still trying to figure out where the market for AI art is heading，and that it may not be the disruptive(破坏性的) force that some think it will be.Or，at least，the industry will adapt to it. Mario Klingemann，whose work was sold by Sotheby's，prefers the term “generative art”，which includes all works created using algorithms，and believes the current buzz will eventually die down，otherwise AI art isn't going anywhere.Instead，he thinks it will one day be viewed as simply another tool of the artist. “Just like photography never goes away，or making movies doesn't，I'm pretty sure it will establish itself as a new media format，” he says.“Right now，of course，it's all this mystery about AI，but I expect this to become really just a normal thing，where people will focus on what artists are actually saying with their art.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人们对人工智能艺术作品的价值、意义及发展方向的看法。 8．What's the function of the first paragraph? A．To show what art is. B．To entertain readers. C．To explain the event's theme. D．To lead to the topic of the passage. 解析：选D　推理判断题。文章第一段前两句介绍了艺术家兼软件工程师Tyka向观众展示使用人工智能创作的艺术作品的场景；第二段首句则承接第一段开始介绍当前人工智能艺术作品令人困惑的一些问题。由此可知，第一段起到引出本文话题的作用。故选D。 9．What makes people in the art industry feel confused? A．Who is the real creator of a piece of AI artwork. B．Where the market for AI artwork is located. C．How to sell AI artwork at a high price. D．How to share AI artwork. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，艺术行业的人们对利用演算法创作的艺术作品的真正创作者感到困惑，他们分不清创作者是编程人员还是电脑。故选A。 10．Which can best explain the underlined word “buzz” in the fourth paragraph? A．Excitement.　　　　 B．Objection. C．Revolution. D．Argument. 解析：选D　词义猜测题。文章第二、三段主要阐述了当前人们对人工智能艺术作品的困惑和看法，第四段主要阐述了Klingemann对这种艺术作品的看法，并且他是喜欢“generative art”这个术语的，又结合画线词所在句中的“believes the current buzz will eventually die down”可知，他认为当前对于人工智能艺术作品的争论终会平息。因此，buzz意思为“争论”。故选D。 11．What does Klingemann think about AI art? A．Its future is unclear. B．It will disturb the traditional art industry. C．It will be as common as photography and movies. D．It will be applied to photography and film industry. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句及最后一段第一句可知，Klingemann认为，有一天人工智能艺术作品将被看作艺术家的另一种工具，就像摄影或制作电影从未消失一样，他确信人工智能艺术将成为一种新的媒体形式。故选C。 D (2022·沈阳质量检测)More museums are showing multisensory art, which asks people to use more than one of the senses. Sometimes, art has a smell. Others have sounds. The artists are finding new ways for people to understand their works. The Dorothy and Charles Mosesian Center for the Arts is in Watertown. Recently, the center created “Please Touch the Art”. The special show lets visitors touch the work. Aneleise Ruggles works at the Mosesian Center. She is in charge of the museum's shows. She says that “Please Touch the Art” rethinks meaning in art. The artist must go beyond sight. Forty artists created 52 pieces for the show. Ruggles explained that “Please Touch the Art” is not a show for blind people. Everyone can enjoy the show. Guests use all five senses. The show also takes people who are blind or have low vision into consideration. “Touchable art creates something people can share，” he said. “Touch is key to understanding the works.” A group of guests with low vision visited“Please Touch the Art”. At first, they were nervous about touching the work. One man touched a raised blue painting. The work is Claudia Ravaschiere and Michael Moss's Whirl. Soft music followed his movements. By the end, the visitors were no longer shy. They wrapped each other in hanging cloth. Shows like “Please Touch the Art” can change what we think of as fine art. Ruggles says the change will take time. The art world must find a new understanding of art. They also need a new way to talk about touchable art.

A．By listing numbers. B．By making comparisons. C．By offering reasons.

A successful arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect(连锁反应) throughout a community.In 2005，when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town，the location was considered a poor area of town.After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building，we began producing a full season of theater performances，jazz concerts，and year­round arts education programs in 2008.Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District. 19 It is wrong to suppose arts groups cannot make a profit(利润)． 20 If you are a student studying the arts，chances are you have been ill­advised to have a plan B．But those who truly understand the economic effect and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities. A．The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. B．But arts groups bring more value to our communities. C．Another group of people is needed to help market the event. D．But in order to stay in business，arts groups must produce returns. E．No doubt the theater has contributed to the area's development and economic growth. F．Arts play an important part in improving our mood (心情) and our relationship with others. G．Now，more and more young people dream of becoming a singer but they don't think of the pains that they will take.

It was raining and cold when we went out to eat.We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday.Only five tables in the restaurant were taken.There were two German couples，two French families，and an American sailor，by himself.They were eating in stony silence except the sailor.He was writing a letter，and a half­smile lighted his face.In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music. All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door.She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet.Carrying her basket of flowers，she went from one table to another.No one bought any.Exhausted and frustrated，she sat down at a table. The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave.Putting on his coat，he walked over to the flower woman's table. “Merry Christmas，” he said，smiling and picking out a handful of flowers.“How much are they？” “Two francs，Sir.” The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman's hand. “I don't have change，Sir，” she said.“I'll get some from the waiter.” “No，ma'am，” said the sailor，leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek.“This is my Christmas present for you.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his hand. The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room. One possible version： Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his hand.He picked out a red flower and placed it on our table.“Merry Christmas！” he greeted us in a cheerful voice.Before we could say “Thank you”，he went to other tables.In an instant，everyone in the room was presented with flowers，including the waiter and the piano player.In the bright light，the flowers were glowing in full bloom.These magical flowers melted our frustrated hearts and blew away all the unpleasant moods. The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room.A festival atmosphere drowned all of us.We merrily danced to the joyful music，singing，laughing and wishing each other good luck.The old flower woman also joined us，unable to conceal her excitement and gratitude.The spirit of Christmas came back to us again.It brought all of us together in this small restaurant on a foreign land.All this was due to a young American sailor，who，through his kindness and generosity，brightened our paths. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
