(2025·郑州质检)
All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley's memoir(回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), brings new meaning to the term “art appreciation”. During 8-12 hours' shifts spent among the galleries, he takes advantage of the gift of time to study the masterpieces he's been hired to protect — and to think about the role of art throughout history.
Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution.But Bringley's guard'seye view is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity.After his brother Tom's death from cancer in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which “I was happy to be going nowhere.” He explains, “I had lost someone.I did not wish to move on from that.In a sense, I didn't wish to move at all.” Bringley doesn't say when he decided to channel his experience of finding peace in art into this book, but this story about jumping off the career ladder in order to find the space for quiet reflection is surprisingly suited to our times.
All the Beauty in the World offers wellchosen facts about the museum to support Bringley's personal tale.Interesting as these facts are, it's Bringley's reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute(致敬) to the power of art.Discussing Alfred Stieglitz's photographs of his wife, he writes, “I think that sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work of art gives us that.” In a Vermeer portrait of a dozing maidservant, he is moved to see that the artist caught “that feeling we sometimes have that a private setting possesses the holiness(神圣) of its own.It was my constant feeling in Tom's hospital room.”
As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not about art, but from it.This is art appreciation at a high level.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Patrick Bringley的回忆录All the Beauty in the World以及他在纽约大都会艺术博物馆工作的经历。
4.What makes All the Beauty in the World different from other books by the Met staffers?
A.Its author's personal sad story.
B.Its author's unique point of view.
C.Its wellchosen facts about the museum.
D.Its detailed introduction to the artworks.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “But Bringley's guard'seye view is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity.” 可知,该书与众不同的原因在于作者的保安视角,故选B项。
5.Why did Bringley decide to become a guard at the Met?
A.To remember his dead brother.
B.To enrich his journalism career.
C.To find some peace and quiet in art.
D.To study the artworks more closely.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “Bringley doesn't say...finding peace in art...in order to find the space for quiet reflection...” 可知, Bringley去纽约大都会艺术博物馆当保安是为了在艺术中寻找平静和安宁,故选C。
6.How does Bringley tell the museum stories in his memoir?
A.By relating museum facts to his personal life.
B.By interviewing retired museum staff members.
C.By presenting the background of each masterpiece.
D.By engaging visitors in the discussion of the artworks.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “All the Beauty in the World offers wellchosen facts about the museum to support Bringley's personal tale.” 和 “Discussing Alfred...‘that feeling...It was my constant feeling in Tom's hospital room.’” 可推知, Bringley 在他的回忆录中将博物馆的事实与他的个人生活联系了起来,故选A 项。

A.It reveals the inner world of the author.
B.It offers new insights into art appreciation.
C.It tells littleknown facts about the museum.
D.It deserves to be read for some peace and quiet.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据首段中的 “All the Beauty in the World...brings new meaning to the term ‘art appreciation’.” 和最后一段中的 “All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not about art, but from it.This is art appreciation at a high level.” 可知,作者认为这本回忆录给 “艺术欣赏” 一词带来了新的含义。它提醒我们重要的不是学习艺术,而是要从艺术中学习,这是一种高水平的艺术欣赏。由此可推知,这本书为艺术欣赏提供了新的见解,故选B项。
