What modern artists attempted to do was no longer show reality, but instead to ask the question, “What is art?” Part3 阅读过关 五、阅读理解 The “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20,000 people stare at the Leonardo da Vinci's painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of a tempting semi-smile. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, gaping void (空白)”. Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures 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. Take other celebrated works of art. Until the end of the 19th century Michelangelo's “David” had only his fig leaf to protect him from the weather in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. He attracted more pigeons than visitors; visitors preferred the artist's sculpture of Moses in Rome. Before the famous “Venus de Milo” was discovered in 1820, viewers were crazy about “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture most people alive today have never heard of. Much as in art, the classics of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today, Johann Sebastjan Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach's compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville's masterpiece “Moby Dick” was largely forgotten until critics such as Raymond Weaver, a professor at Columbia University rescued him from the depths of a nobody around the centenary of his birth in 1919. “The status of classics” depends on critics and shows the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Tastes evolve, and they 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 awakening. It is silence. 1.What made the painting “Mona Lisa” famous?( ) A.The theft. B.The semi-smile. C.The report. D.The painter. 2.What does Rochelle think of classics?( ) A.Enduring. B.Fading. C.Changeable. D.Admirable. 3.How does the author develop paragraph 4?( ) A.By making a comparison. B.By offering examples. C.By giving an explanation. D.By giving a description. 4.What might ultimately discourage the development of classics?( ) A.The ignorance of culture. B.The course of time. C.The evolution of tastes. D.The lack of criticism. 六、七选五 In the world of art and creativity, there are countless materials that artists use to express their ideas and emotions. One of the materials that have gained popularity in recent years is woven paper(编织纸). It is a handicraft art form that the artists use paper strips(纸条) to weave them together to create various objects and products. 1.___ The origin of paper weaving can date back to ancient civilizations and at first it was mainly used for practical purposes such as making baskets. 2.___ In the 20th century, paper weaving gained significant recognition as an art form, with artists experimenting with different weaving patterns and techniques to create various designs. Creating a paper-weaving artwork requires time, accuracy, and a deep understanding of the textures (质地).

Paper-weaving items can also easily suit individual preferences for the size, shape, and color. Besides, the process of weaving paper can be a creative and enjoyable craft activity for individuals of all ages. Paper-weaving art not only shows the artistic skills of the creator but also carries deeper meanings and messages. 5.___ Paper-weaving art can be a powerful medium for storytelling, allowing artists to connect with viewers on a deep level.
