The Natural Center Is a Beautiful Ode to Earth
What is nature? When you imagine nature, do you think about humans? Often, we don’t imagine humans as a part of the natural landscape, instead viewing ourselves and our creations as separate and distinct from the organic world around us. How do we reconcile (使和谐一致) our idea of humanity with our idea of nature, as we are animals ourselves?
Artist Aaron Delehanty explores questions such as these through his work The Natural Center.Delehanty, a lifelong environmentalist, creates pieces that focus on the boundary between nature and humankind. His goal, no matter the media or technique he uses, is to challenge the way we systemize our natural world.

The Natural Center is currently on exhibit in the Art and Music Library’s Frontispace Gallery. Each one of the mixed media paintings and sculptures intertwines (使交织) themes of nature and humanity, exploring feelings of unnaturalness or discomfort in the spaces where they meet.
The most prominently placed piece is the watercolour series on the back wall of the exhibit. On the other wall, the Origami Audubon series features imagery from John James Audubon’s famous Birds of America watercolour painting series. The exhibit also houses four sculpted cranes, each frozen in a unique pose.
The Natural Center will be on display through Friday, Feb 17 in the Frontispace Gallery, located on the ground floor of Rush Rhees Library at the Art and Music Library entrance.

方法总结 概括型细节理解题的解题技巧
概括型细节理解题要求通过思维分析将原文中比较分散或复杂的信息进行归纳概括,综合事实定答案。需要全面分析所涉及的相关信息,而不能只是单一地分析某句话。
(1)通过概括定选项。概括型细节理解题可能涉及文章某一段或几段,甚至涉及全文的多个位置,需要寻找文章中的多个细节,并尝试用自己的语言去归纳文中的信息,然后结合选项,选出和自己所归纳信息最接近的选项。
(2)通过关键词定位置。在阅读题干的时候迅速把题干中的关键词标记出来,然后根据关键词回到原文当中定位相关的语句和段落。
(3)兼用排除法解题。在难以作出选择时,也可采用排除法,将“无此细节”和“与此细节相反”的选项排除,进而选出正确答案。

3.In which section of the magazine may the text appear?( )

[湖南长沙长郡中学2024高二期中]Born in 1887 in a Russian-Jewish town, Marc Chagall started his formal education in painting at the age of 19.Disappointed with the colours of traditional Russian art, he loved to paint with strong blues, reds and yellows.
So in 1911, he moved to Paris, France, where artists from around the world were creating novel art forms and he acquired fresh ways of painting eagerly. He stayed true to his childhood memories. While others chose modern subjects, he painted scenes of fantasy based on an older, farmer-like way of life. Blue dogs, yellow skies and red trees were all creations of his imagination.
Chagall went through two world wars and personal sufferings. In 1941, because his family were Jewish, the Chagalls had to leave France to escape the Nazis during World War Ⅱ.In 1944 came another blow.Chagall’s beloved wife Bella died of an illness. Despite the hardships, his passion for painting never faded. In 1948, he returned to France and continued to make his dreamlike paintings.

One day, during a walk in a village, he discovered a 700-year-old church, where he saw a stained glass window (彩色玻璃窗) that contained a green horse. It looked as if Chagall might have created it himself. Here was a sure sign, he thought, that he should create his own stained glass windows.
Then Chagall devoted all his energy and time to the work. As we know, many stained glass windows are made of flat colours, but Chagall used various techniques to create the effects he wanted. He made flexible use of bright colours, putting light into the works. He painted images on glass, then had them fired to high temperatures, making the lines and colours part of the glass.
Chagall created the stained glass windows for churches and other buildings around the world until his death in 1985.He gave them as gifts to the world and often refused payment. Today, people are still amazed at how his stained glass creations shine and change with the sun.

[江苏常州2025高二期中]What would be the best way today to protest against a war? In 1937, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso expressed his anger at war through his powerful painting Guernica, which remains a significant antiwar symbol.
Much of the painting’s power comes from its size, about 3.49 metres tall and 7.76 metres wide. It feels like it wraps around you, immersing (使沉浸) you in its larger-than-life figures and action. And although the size and multiple figures refer to the long tradition of European history paintings, this painting is different because it challenges rather than accepts the idea of war as heroic.
Guernica is based on the events of April 27, 1937, when the German air force bombed Picasso’s home town Guernica in northern Spain, a city of no strategic military value, leaving a third of the population wounded or killed. When news of the bombing reached Paris, Picasso was horrified by the reports of damage and death. After repeated attempts, the painting was done in less than a month and then delivered to the Paris World’s Fair, where it shocked the world into facing up to the suffering of the Spanish people.
刷阅读理解

At first glance, Guernica’s composition appears confusing, throwing the viewer in the midst of battle. The space is ambiguous with the changing perspective and overlapping (部分重叠) images from Picasso’s Cubist style, making it hard to distinguish their boundaries. However, there is in fact a visual order with figures arranged in three vertical (垂直的) groups moving left to right and central figures placed within a large triangle of light.
There has been almost endless debate about the meaning of the images in Guernica.When questioned about its possible symbolism, Picasso said that it isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise, it would be better if he wrote them out in words. The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them. In the end, the painting does not appear to have only one single meaning. Perhaps it is that very ambiguity, or the fact that cruel wars continue to be fought, that keeps Guernica as timeless and universally relatable today as it was in 1937.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍西班牙艺术家巴勃罗·毕加索的反战画作《格尔尼卡》。

1.In what aspect is Guernica different from paintings of its time?( )
D
A.Figures in the painting. B.Size of the painting.
C.Its historical background. D.Its attitude to the war.
解析 细节理解题。由第二段中的“And although the size and multiple figures refer to the long tradition of European history paintings, this painting is different because it challenges rather than accepts the idea of war as heroic.”可知,《格尔尼卡》不同于同时代画作的是它对战争的态度,它不是赞美战争而是反战。故选D项。

2.What directly inspired Picasso to create Guernica?( )
D
A.Response of visitors at the fair.
B.Guernica’s strategic military value.
C.The outbreak of the war in 1937.
D.Reports of the suffering in his home town.
解析 细节理解题。由第三段中的“When news of the bombing reached Paris, Picasso was horrified by the reports of damage and death.After repeated attempts, the painting was done in less than a month”可知,关于家乡苦难的报道直接启发了毕加索创作《格尔尼卡》。故选D项。

A
A.There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes.

D.Too many cooks spoil the broth.
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“In the end, the painting does not appear to have only one single meaning… universally relatable today as it was in 1937.”可知,作者认为这幅画并非只有一个单一的意义,正因为没有明确的意义界定,所以人们在不同的时期可以有不同的理解,这使得这幅画一直流传至今。由此可知,作者认为人们对于这幅画的理解各不相同,即“一千个人眼里有一千个哈姆雷特”。故选A项。

[安徽宿州2024高二期中]A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, his artists were struggling to find the right design for the woodland backgrounds of Bambi, the tale of a young deer. The film’s production team realised they needed an alternative to the style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in the woods of Snow White.
Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display at New York City’s Museum of Chinese in America. In 1938, The Walt Disney Studios hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. After reading the story of Bambi, he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum (乏味的) job. He said to himself, “This is all outdoor scenery. And I’m a landscape painter. This will be great!”

Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolour and pastel (蜡笔) to make sketches that brought the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of colour and special attention to light and shadow. Wong’s sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi’s background artists, who were later trained to imitate his style.“His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,” wrote John Lasseter, the former chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.“Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional.” In 2001,Wong was named “Disney Legend”, and he received the recognition as the true lead artist.
He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California.“People admired his work because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,” said his youngest daughter.“He considered himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time.”

It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators (文物修复员) at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind.
The team is dedicated to protecting the 45,000 square metres of murals (壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road.“Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.

Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity (湿度) of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterwards.
The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration.“Cultural relics are witnesses to history,” explains Su.“When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”

Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems.“It needs long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible.

[广东深圳中学2024高二期中]In August, Jason M.Allen’s piece “Théâtre D’opéra Spatial”—which he created with AI image generator Midjourney—won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.
Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be an artist and whether AI can truly make art.“It feels bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics,” one Internet user wrote.“This is the literal definition of ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” another posted.
Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, there was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costumes with the space theme.

96
Over time, with many slight changes to his written instructions, he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved the picture’s quality through Gigapixel AI and finally had the image printed.
Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention.“Rather than hating on the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognise that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forwards rather than sulking (生闷气) about it,” Allen said.
Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI, he didn’t realise that when judging it. Still, he sticks by his decision to award it first place.“I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way,” he said.

[山东新高考联合质量测评2025联考]Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the“timeless classic” is anything but.“What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go.
The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. Artists used to focus on ideal forms of beauty. A genius was the “child of imitation”.Artists learnt by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures.
But such classical ideals were challenged by “discoveries”.Lord Elgin tried to fix up the magnificent friezes (雕带) that once beautified the Parthenon, but restorers refused. When the marbles (大理石雕像) went on display in 1807, British visitors did not see the perfect Roman sculptures they were used to. Timeless “ideals” paled in comparison with the time-worn marbles, and artists began to feel “cut off” from the classical tradition, writes Ms Gurstein.
刷阅读理解
115
The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century, Giorgio Vasari, an Italian painter, advanced an influential story of artistic progress that reached its peak in the realism of Raphael and Michelangelo. But in the 19th century, John Ruskin, a critic, called attention to the Pre-Raphaelite movement when he argued that the real “Old Masters” were actually medieval Christian painters. Walter Pater, an English critic, later upgraded the individual interpretation of art as the most important criterion of judgement, planting the seeds for the aesthetic (审美的) relativism that still dominates.
Ms Gurstein’s narrative shows that the “status of a classic” depends on critics, and is proof of the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. The taste evolves, and it should. But culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or wokeness. It is silence.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了艺术经典在历史长河中经历了起起伏伏,随着艺术本身的变化,人们对艺术的喜好也在改变。经典作品的地位取决于评论家对艺术的看法,人们对艺术经典争论的同时也促使文化继续发展。

1.What do the underlined words “written in water” mean?( )
C
A.The way of writing a classic is special. B.The appreciation of classics is constant.
C.The “timeless classic” changes over time. D.The art classics are hard to understand.
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages.But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book, the ‘timeless classic’ is anything but.”可知,永恒的经典并不存在;结合下文“Classics come and go.”可知,经典作品随着时间的流逝来来去去,不断改变,故画线部分是指永恒的经典作品实际上是随着时间的推移而改变的。故选C项。
刷阅读理解
118
2.Why does the author mention the “marbles” on display in paragraph 3?( )
D
A.To highlight Lord Elgin’s restoration efforts.
B.To show the popularity of Roman sculptures.
C.To argue for the preservation of ancient art.
D.To demonstrate the change of classical tradition.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段内容以及第三段中的“Timeless ‘ideals’ paled in comparison with the time-worn marbles, and artists began to feel ‘cut off’ from the classical tradition, writes Ms Gurstein.”可知,经典的兴衰并不只是人们对艺术作品的喜好发生了变化,艺术本身也是在变化的。过去艺术家们喜欢通过研究和模仿经典作品来进行艺术创作,而后来这种模仿也慢慢褪去了色彩。第三段以1807年展出的大理石雕像为例证,论述第二段提出的观点。由此可知,作者提到展出的“大理石雕像”是为了证明经典传统的变化。故选D项。
刷阅读理解
119
3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?( )
B
A.The rise of modern art. B.The development of artistic preferences.
C.The techniques of old masters. D.The transformation of creative methods.
解析 主旨大意题。根据第四段的主旨句“The writing of art history has also changed tastes.”和本段内容可知,本段主要论述了艺术史的写作是如何影响人们对艺术的喜好的,分别介绍了16世纪、19世纪和后来的英国评论家对艺术的评价,通过介绍不同时期评论的演变,论述了艺术审美偏好的发展。
刷阅读理解

4.What has a significant influence on aesthetic relativism?( )
C

C.Art critics’ views. D.Historical narratives.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Ms Gurstein’s narrative shows that the ‘status of a classic’ depends on critics, and is proof of the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art.”可知,艺术评论家对经典作品的看法决定了艺术经典作品的地位,可以改变人们对艺术作品的喜好,对审美相对论产生了非常重要的影响。故选C项。

The technology is still emerging, so it’s unclear whether robot cooks can precisely identify ingredients. Foodborne illnesses are an unknown. Will AI and robots be able to smell, taste or otherwise sense the freshness of an ingredient or perform other safety checks? AI chatbots have been advising people to eat rocks, glue, gasoline and poisonous mushrooms.4.___
Legal systems are still struggling to sort out liability (责任) for autonomous vehicles.5.___ Given the significance of food, food technologies help shape society.

[浙江台州名校联盟2024联考]阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The air was getting cooler. The leaves were starting to fall from the trees that lined the streets. As Nicole walked from school to the small bakery shop her mother had just started, she buttoned her sweater and looked up into the blue sky. Her mother expected her to walk the three blocks from school, and she was always standing on the steps of her bakery shop, waving and waiting for Nicole.
Nicole always told her mum about her day as her mum poured a small glass of milk. After her snack, Nicole completed her homework and then was allowed to help with the bakery. Recently, her mother taught her how to frost (给……覆上糖霜) and decorate cupcakes. Nicole loved to pipe or squeeze the colourful frosting through the pastry tube onto the tops of miniature cakes. She loved hearing the customers’ reactions to her designs.

For as long as Nicole could remember, she loved art. She impressed her teachers every year with watercolour paintings and clay sculptures. She had won the school’s art contest two years in a row and was working on this year’s project when she began decorating cupcakes. Nicole had never considered baking to be an art form. She could see how inspiring her complicated and imaginative creations were to her mother’s customers.
Nicole was struggling and having a difficult time thinking of something original for this year’s art contest. The rules stated that the project simply had to be created entirely by the student, without any adult help. There were no restrictions on size or materials.
