(2024·石家庄教学质量检测)A new study suggests classic paintings by wellknown artists Joseph Mallord William Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard University and Sorbonne University, analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901.
Scientists don't know exactly how polluted the cities were during that time for lack of data.However, researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of longterm environmental change with the air pollution.
In particular, researchers say changes in local sulfur dioxide(二氧化硫) emissions from burning coal may explain changes in the colour contrast and intensity of Turner's, Monet's, and others' works, even after taking the artistic trends and subject matter of the time into account.
Scientists successfully measured painters' representation of nature, focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced colour in works painted in different parts of Europe.Paintings done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent.Generally,artists can historically accurately represent their environment, so Turner and Monet were chosen because they are famous for their landscape and cityscape paintings and also because they were active during the Industrial Revolution, when air pollution grew at a rate never seen before.
Additionally, researchers say that as the air in London and Paris became more polluted,the cities would appear hazier to the eyes as well as in photographs.By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet to pictures from the era, they were able to determine the artists were at least partly influenced by the change in emissions.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。研究人员表示,通过研究透纳和莫奈的作品可以了解空气污染带来的长期环境变化。
4.How did the researchers conduct the study?
A.By referring to relevant historical records.
B.By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet.
C.By relating the paintings to the air conditions then.
D.By analyzing the data during the Industrial Revolution.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However,researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of longterm environmental change with the air pollution”可知,研究人员表示,通过研究透纳和莫奈的作品,可以了解空气污染带来的长期环境变化。由此可知,研究者是通过将绘画与当时的空气条件联系起来做这个研究的。故选C项。
5.What did the researchers find in the works of Turner and Monet?
A.Air pollution at that time.
B.Change in subject matter.
C.Social trends of the period.
D.Development of photography.
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Generally,artists can...so Turner and Monet were...never seen before”可知,艺术家可以准确地描绘他们所处的环境,所以透纳和莫奈因为他们以乡村风景画和城市风光画而闻名被选中,也因为他们活跃在当时空气污染以前所未有的速度加剧的工业革命时期被选中。由此再结合第一段内容可推知,研究人员在透纳和莫奈的作品中发现了当时的空气污染状况。故选 A项。
6.What can we learn from Paragraph 5?
A.European artists preferred landscape paintings.
B.Scientists focused on studying weather patterns.
C.Turner and Monet intended to present pollution.
D.Britain suffered from air pollution most in Europe.
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第五段前两句的内容可知,科学家们已经成功衡量了画家对自然的描绘,重点关注了影响欧洲不同地区的画作中的色彩的当地天气模式的差异。在英国创作的画作中,天空的蓝色通常比欧洲其他地区的画作要淡一些。由此可推知,英国在欧洲遭受空气污染最严重。故选D项。
7.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To inform people of a new discovery.
B.To instruct people to appreciate paintings.
C.To introduce the Industrial Revolution.
D.To call on people to protect the environment.

(2024·福建七市高三第一次质量检测)Is it cake? Is it art? Is it both? For its third consecutive (连续的) year, the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, Texas hosted its Great Blanton BakeOff, and 16 bakers delivered on the challenge—to recreate any of the works from Italian Renaissance paintings to Latin American prints, in the Blanton's collections, in cake form.
Lizabel Stella, the museum's social media and digital content manager, came up with the BakeOff idea at the outset of the pandemic, when the museum had to temporarily close for three months.Stella, like many in lockdown, noticed that many people were turning to baking as a comforting and fun activity.“I was thinking, people can't come to the museum, and people love baking.How can I combine these together?”Stella said.“Art can be quite conceptual.And baking is tangible—so, in a way, it's a different way to consume art.”
To participate in the competition, bakers accessed the museum's online catalog (目录) to select an artwork to reimagine.Then, contestants had to upload photos of their creations to Facebook by May 15, 2022.The museum shared the cakes with the public on World Baking Day (May 17)through social media stories, and the “virtual audience”had 24 hours to vote for their favorites.The winner of each category received gift cards from the local bakery.
“At the heart, the BakeOff is about having fun.We're going through a lot of hard things, such as lockdown.It's important to remember that it's okay to take a break—not to ignore the things that are happening, but to make time for the things that move you,”said Stella.“This moves me.I'm gong to make a cake.It's very simple.”
[语篇解读]本文是应用文。本文主要介绍了布兰顿艺术博物馆连续三年举办了“大布兰顿烘焙大赛”(Great Blanton BakeOff),2022年16位面包师接受了挑战——以蛋糕形式再现布兰顿的藏品:从意大利文艺复兴时期的油画到拉丁美洲版画。
8.Why did Stella propose the idea of BakeOff?
A.To choose the best baker.
B.To enhance the museum's reputation.
C.To expose baking to the public.
D.To engage people's interest with art at home.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第二段中的Stella, like many in lockdown, noticed that many people were turning to baking as a comforting and fun activity.“I was thinking, people can't come to the museum, and people love baking.How can I combine these together?”可知,斯特拉注意到许多人把烘焙作为一种治愈且有趣的活动,于是她就想把博物馆和烘焙结合起来。由此可知,斯特拉提出BakeOff(烘焙大赛)的想法是为了让居家的人把对烘焙的兴趣与艺术融合起来。故选D项。
9.Which best explains the underlined word “tangible” in Paragraph 2?
A.Touchable. B.Academic.
C.Theoretical. D.Imaginary.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文Art can be quite conceptual.可知,艺术是相当概念化的;再结合下文it's a different way to consume art可知,这是一种消费艺术的不同方式。由此可知,艺术是概念化的,而烘焙是有形的,即“可触摸的”,由此可推知,画线单词tangible与touchable(能触摸到的)意思相近。故选A项。
10.What event is the Great Blanton BakeOff?
A.A virtual contest. B.An online sale.
C.A yard exhibition. D.A stage performance.
解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知,此次烘焙大赛的参赛者必须在2022年5月15日之前将自己的作品的照片上传到脸书。然后在5月17日世界烘焙日,博物馆通过社交媒体报道与公众分享这些蛋糕,“虚拟观众”有24小时的时间去投票选出他们最喜欢的蛋糕。由此可知,“大布兰顿烘焙大赛”是一个线上举行的虚拟比赛。故选A项。
11.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To provide people with fun.
B.To display a creative activity.
C.To promote the museum's business.
D.To highlight the healing power of bakery.
解析:选B。推理判断题。本篇文章主要报道了布兰顿艺术博物馆连续三年举办了烘焙比赛,2022年16位面包师接受了挑战——以蛋糕形式再现布兰顿的收藏品:从意大利文艺复兴时期的油画到拉丁美洲版画。由此可推知,文章的主要目的是介绍一个具有创造性的活动。故选B项。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·武汉高三考试)We live in a switchedon world in which it's almost unthinkable to be without social media for so much as a day.The colorful images,interesting videos,bitesized info,easytoread stories,viewing other people's lives...All are designed to keep us addicted. 1.________.An increasing number of studies indicate that social media can have a negative impact on our relationships IRL(that's “in real life” for nontechies).The good news is that you don't have to go backwards to avoid the dangers of social media.2.________.

4.________
The infinite scroll (无限滚动),as it's termed by developers,is specifically designed to keep you aimlessly looking at news feeds and passively taking in everything you see.Before you go online,decide what you're going for and stick to it.In this focused way you can go straight to what you want to see without mindlessly scrolling for things that don't support your intentions.
Avoid comparison
5.________.This famous saying has never been truer than when we see other people's seemingly “perfect lives” online.It can leave us feeling that we're simply not good enough.Although comparing ourselves to others is normal human behavior,remember that people's social media pages are not a true reflection of their real life.

[语篇解读]本文是说明文。社交媒体会给我们的生活带来负面影响,但是,我们可以利用一些方法使自己摆脱对社交媒体的依赖,同时享受其带来的好处。
1.解析:选D。空前讲到社交媒体会让我们上瘾,空后讲到社交媒体对我们现实生活中的人际关系有负面影响,这些均是对社交媒体的危害的描述,由此可知,D项“然而,还有更黑暗的一面”承上启下,符合语境。
2.解析:选G。根据上文中“The good news is that you don't have to go backwards to avoid the dangers of social media”并结合下文内容可知,空处承接上一句应该会讲到可以避免社交媒体的危害。G项“相反,你可以使自己摆脱对社交媒体的依赖,同时享受其带来的好处”符合语境。
3.解析:选F。空前一句讲到了“the Pomodoro Technique (番茄工作法)”,空后讲到的“Using this method,you break your workday into 25minute periods”呼应这种方法,因此,空处应该还会讲到这种方法,且这种方法是将时间分割的方法。F项“这种时间管理策略把你的时间分成几个时间段”符合语境。
4.解析:选A。根据本段中的“Before you go online,decide what you're going for and stick to it.In this focused way...intentions”可知,本段主要讲要明白自己上网的目的,保持专注,故A项适合作本段的小标题。
5.解析:选C。根据小标题“Avoid comparison”并分析选项可知,答案锁定C项和E项。结合下文中的描述“when we see other people's seemingly ‘perfect lives’ online.It can leave us feeling that we're simply not good enough”可知,攀比会剥夺我们的幸福感,故C项符合语境。
