Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023·浙江绍兴诊断)Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo is best known for big public art pieces.The artist carves hundreds of 20-centimeter-tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world,where they quickly melt.The faceless sculptures drip and stream into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activists' art against climate change.
But is it? Yes and (mostly) no.
The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection with the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures.“Its close link with that subject is evident,”said the artist.In addition to the threat of global warming itself,the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together.“Such kind of threat also finally puts man in his place,his fate is along with the destiny of the planet,and he is not the‘king’ of nature,but an essential element of it,”continues Azevedo on her website.
“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite,”she says.“I made small figures that sit on the floor.It doesn't honor anybody.It does honor the unknown.”
Azevedo explains,“In a few-minute action,the rules of the monument are inverted:in the place of the hero,the unknown;in the place of the solidity of the stone,the momentary process of the ice;in the place of the monument size,the minimum size of the perishable (易腐烂的) bodies.”Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence,and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.

B
(2023·江苏无锡调研)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 kind-hearted 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.

Ⅱ.完形填空
(2023·湖南怀化六校联考)We live in a world increasingly dominated by science.Since elementary school,I have always 1 subjects like science and math.To me,these subjects,full of discoveries and 2 ,seem to play a more significant role in human progress than the humanities.And I always 3 thought of these subjects as more solid and serious than classes like English.If there was no right 4 ,I thought,why bother?But recently I had an 5 that taught me my academic interests are more flexible than I had thought:I took my first philosophy class.
Before I entered the classroom,I was 6 .I waited outside with the other students and wondered what exactly philosophy would involve.I imagined getting into pretty long and boring conversations 7 intended to reflect on the meaning of life.But what I got was something quite 8 .
A young man in jeans,Mr.Jones—“but you can call me Rob”—was far from the white-haired,buttoned-up old man I had 9 .Rather than pulling us into dull arguments about philosophical points difficult to understand,Rob 10 us on our level.To talk free will,we looked at our own 11 .To talk morals,we looked at dilemmas we had faced ourselves.By the end of the class,I'd discovered that questions with no right answer can turn out to be the most 12 ones.
It 13 me that if I let go of my 14 ,I can actually get a lot out of the subjects which I once thought were of little help.The class taught me—in more ways than one—to look at things with a(n) 15 mind.
【语篇解读】 作者从小就喜欢类似自然科学和数学这样的学科,认为这些学科比文科发挥着更重要的作用。后来作者上了一节哲学课,课上哲学老师循循善诱的教学方式吸引了作者,这节课改变了作者对自己不喜欢的学科的认知:放下偏见,不喜欢的学科也可以教给自己很多,要用开放的思想看待事物。
