A major issue withpreserving works of art is their constant exposure to air pollutants.To solve the problem, art preservers have been employing the artificial nose.It was initially developed by Kenneth Suslick, a researcher at the University of Illinois, for biomedical purposes.Combined with the technology of electricity and light, the artificial nose has the ability to sniff out pollutants in the air before they can damage the artwork. Surveyors around the globe are creating 3D databases to preserve artworks and sitesin digital form.In Syria, a French 3D digitization agency called Iconem has launched a project called Syrian Heritage to preserve local endangered structures and sites.The Iconem team use drones (无人机) to conduct photographic surveys of the area and then use photogrammetry to process and connect the stream of photographs to construct 3D versions.These versions offer a clear view of endangered sites and allow people to virtually visit and interact with select sections of each site. Non­invasive techniques like X­rays can collect valuable data about famous works of art.AI can then use this data to understand patterns, which can be used to restore or recreate images that have been lost forever.For instance, when Rembrandt van Rijn's The Night Watch was moved to another location，it was unintentionally shortened.Now researchers have used AI to reconstruct the painting.Similarly, three of Gustay Klimt's paintings that were lost in a 1945 fire in Vienna were recreated with the help of AI. As mentioned earlier, despite our best efforts, only a small number of artworks from the pastmake it to the future.But thanks to technological breakthroughs, we have a better shot at increasing that number. 4.What can the artificial nose do to protect artworks? A.Detect air pollutants for them. B.Stop them from exposure to air. C.Analyze their biomedical elements. D.Combine it with electricity and light. 5.What does paragraph 3 focus on? A.Why photos are collected for the database. B.Why Iconem has launched Syrian Heritage. C.How artworks are preserved in digital form. D.How 3D technology is created for artworks. 6.Why is Rembrandt van Rijn's The Night Watch mentioned? A.To show how it was shortened. B.To stress it shouldn't be moved. C.To reveal the magic function of AI. D.To explain the importance of X­rays. 7.Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? A.3D Database Is Linked with Life B.Technology Is Saving Artworks C.AI Can Create Fantastic Artworks D.Only a Few Artworks Stand the Time [二次精读] 重点单词 heritage /'herɪtɪdʒ/ n.　　　　　遗产 survive /sə'vaɪv/ v. 幸存；留存 preserve /prɪ'zɜːv/ v. 保护，维护 initially /ɪ'nɪʃəli/ adv. 开始，最初 pollutant /pə'luːtənt/ n. 污染物 restore /rɪ'stɔː(r)/ v. 恢复；使复原 重点短语 put... at risk　　　　　　　 　使……处于危险境地 combined with... 与……结合/组合 interact with... 与……互动 with the help of... 在……的帮助下 make it to... 朝着……前进 词块积累 under threat　　　　　　　　　受威胁 fall victim to wars 成为战争的受害者 in digital form 以数字形式 launch a project 发起项目 non­invasive techniques 非侵入性技术；无创技术 have a better shot at 有更好的机会 长难句分析 AI can then use this data to understand patterns, which can be used to restore or recreate images that have been lost forever. 然后，人工智能可以使用这些数据来理解模式，这些模式可以用来恢复或重建永远丢失的图像。 【分析】　这是一个主从复合句。which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词patterns，从句中有含有that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词images。 C (2024·江西阶段练习)Christ Mocked, by the Florentine master Cimabue, was sold at auction (拍卖) for DC＝ 24 million in 2019.But the Chilean buyers never got to include the work in their collection because the French government refused to give it an export licence. Ministers declared the painting a national treasure, officially giving the Louvre 30 months to raise the funds for its purchase.The Louvre recently reached an agreement with the owners. Laurence des Cars, the president of the Louvre, said it was a “great joy” to have acquired the painting, which “constitutes a crucial landmark in the history of art”.The museum did not say how much it had paid, nor who had sold the painting, which will be exhibited in 2025. The painting was spotted four years ago by Philomene Wolf, an auctioneer, when she was asked to assess the contents of a house that was being cleared.The owner, in her nineties, thought it was a painting from Russia of no value and was preparing to put it in the dustbin. Wolf was struck by its quality and guessed that it could be Italian.Experts using modern technology confirmed that it was by Cimabue, who is widely regarded as having opened the gateway to Renaissance art.It is believed to date from 1280.Christ Mocked is one of about 15 known Cimabue's works. The Louvre launched an appeal on Tuesday for donations to buy another painting, The Basket of Wild Strawberries by Jean Simeon Chardin, the 18th­century French still life (静物画) master.The work, which was first exhibited in 1761, was in a private collection from the 19th century until last year, when it was sold for DC＝ 24.3 million to an American art museum at an auction in Paris. Luckily, many groups and individuals donated two­thirds of the sum.The museum must pay the remaining DC＝ 8 million and is hoping that members of the public will help to ease the burden by responding to its appeal, which aims to raise 1.3 million. 8.What can we know about Christ Mocked? A.It is a painting from Russia. B.It was discovered by Cimabue. C.It is seen as a treasure of France. D.It was taken away by Chilean buyers. 9.Which can replace the underlined word “constitutes” in paragraph 3? A.Sums up. B.Acts as. C.Finds out. D.Points out. 10.How did Wolf get Christ Mocked? A.She purchased it at auction. B.Cimabue sent it to her. C.She got it from an old woman. D.She found it when she cleaned up. 11.Which can be the best title for the text? A.The Painting Christ Mocked Was Sold B.The Louvre Was Appealing for Donation C.French Government Takes Back Its Words D.Painting Saved From Bin Was to Hang in the Louvre [二次精读] 重点单词 auction/'ɔːkʃn/n.　拍卖 declare/dɪ'kleə(r)/v. 宣布，声明；宣称 acquire/ə'kwaɪə(r)/v. 获得，得到 重点短语 reach an agreement with...与……达成协议 of no value 没有价值 date from 追溯到 respond to... 对……反应 aim to do 旨在做某事 词块积累 give it an export licence　给它一张出口许可证 raise the funds for... 为……筹集资金 a crucial landmark in the history of art 艺术史上一个重要的里程碑 launch an appeal 发起呼吁 长难句分析 Experts using modern technology confirmed that it was by Cimabue, who is widely regarded as having opened the gateway to Renaissance art. 使用现代技术的专家证实，这幅画出自契马布埃之手，契马布埃被广泛认为是打开文艺复兴艺术大门的人。 【分析】　这是一个主从复合句。that引导宾语从句，who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Cimabue，using modern technology是现在分词作后置定语，修饰Experts。 【知识拓展】 文艺复兴，是指发生在14世纪到16世纪欧洲的一场思想文化运动。 “文艺复兴”的概念在14－16世纪时已被意大利的人文主义作家和学者所使用。当时的人们认为，文艺在希腊、罗马古典时代曾高度繁荣，但在中世纪“黑暗时代”却衰败湮没，直到14世纪后才获得“再生”与“复兴”，因此称为“文艺复兴”。 文艺复兴最先在意大利各城邦兴起，以后扩展到西欧各国，于16世纪达到顶峰，揭开了近代欧洲历史的序幕，被认为是中古时代和近代的分界。文艺复兴是西欧近代三大思想解放运动(文艺复兴、宗教改革与启蒙运动)之一。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·福建福州阶段练习)A self­taught painter in Chongqing, who spent four years creating 100 illustrations of 100 cities in China, has attracted a lot of attention online.
