A powerful example is the “Before I Die” chalkboard walls that have appeared in many cities. These simple installations invite anyone to complete the sentence “Before I die, I want to...” People’s answers—from “see the world” to “make my parents proud”—create a moving, collective portrait of hopes and dreams. This art transforms a public wall into a space for reflection and shared humanity. It doesn’t just beautify; it connects strangers, sparks conversations, and reminds us of our common aspirations, strengthening the invisible bonds within a community in a profound and simple way. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit1 Art单元测试卷 考试时间：90分钟 满分：100分 班级： 姓名： 学号： 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Art appreciation involves more than simply liking or disliking a piece; it is the process of critically understanding and valuing an artwork. This can be approached through formal analysis, which examines the elements and principles of art—such as line, shape, color, texture, balance, and contrast—to understand how they work together to create meaning and evoke emotion. Contextual analysis considers the historical, social, and cultural background in which the art was created. For instance, understanding the Renaissance’s focus on humanism helps us appreciate the realistic human figures in Michelangelo’s works. Interpreting art also involves personal response: what thoughts or feelings does the artwork stir in you? There is no single “correct” interpretation, but a well-informed appreciation, combining objective analysis with subjective response, enriches the experience and deepens one’s connection to art. 1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Art should only be judged by experts. B. Art appreciation involves formal analysis, contextual understanding, and personal response. C. The only way to understand art is to know the artist’s life story. D. Personal feelings have no place in art appreciation. 2. What does “formal analysis” of art focus on? A. The artist’s biography. B. The historical period. C. The elements and principles of art like color and balance. D. The price of the artwork. 3. Why is contextual analysis important? A. It tells us if the art is expensive. B. It helps us understand the artwork in relation to its time and culture. C. It is the only valid method of analysis. D. It eliminates the need for personal opinion. B Throughout history, art has served various functions beyond pure aesthetics. In prehistoric times, cave paintings like those in Lascaux likely had ritual or communicative purposes. In ancient civilizations, art was often tied to religion and power, glorifying gods and rulers, as seen in Egyptian pyramids and Greek temples. During the Renaissance, art celebrated human achievement and natural beauty. In modern times, art has become a powerful medium for social and political commentary. For example, Picasso’s *Guernica* is a profound anti-war statement. Art also serves therapeutic functions in art therapy and can simply be a source of personal joy and creative expression. The evolution of art’s purpose reflects changes in human society, belief systems, and self-understanding. Understanding these varied functions helps us see art not as decoration, but as an integral part of the human experience, documenting, questioning, and celebrating our collective journey. 4. What was a common function of art in ancient civilizations? A. To be sold in galleries. B. To serve religious purposes and glorify power. C. To provide social commentary. D. To be used as therapy. 5. What does Picasso’s *Guernica* exemplify? A. Art as a celebration of nature. B. Art as a form of social and political commentary. C. Art for religious worship. D. Art for personal decoration. 6. What can we infer from the changing functions of art throughout history? A. Art has become less important over time. B. Art’s functions mirror the evolving concerns and values of societies. C. The purpose of art has remained the same. D. Only modern art has real meaning. C The transition from traditional to modern art marked a radical shift in philosophy and technique. Before the late 19th century, art largely aimed to represent the visible world accurately. Movements like Impressionism, led by artists such as Monet, began to challenge this by focusing on light, color, and immediate perception rather than precise detail. This opened the door for more abstract movements. Cubism, pioneered by Picasso and Braque, fragmented objects to show multiple viewpoints simultaneously. Abstract Expressionism, like the works of Pollock, abandoned representation altogether to convey pure emotion or idea through color, form, and gesture. This evolution reflects a move from art as a window to the external world to art as an exploration of internal experience, perception, and the very nature of artistic materials. While sometimes challenging for viewers, modern and contemporary art expanded the definition of what art could be and express. 7. What was a key characteristic of art before the late 19th century? A. A focus on abstract shapes. B. An aim to accurately represent the visible world. C. The use of only black and white. D. The rejection of all traditional techniques. 8. How did Impressionism contribute to the development of modern art? A. By insisting on highly detailed realism. B. By shifting focus to light, color, and perception over precise representation. C. By only painting religious subjects. D. By using only traditional methods. 9. What is the core idea behind Abstract Expressionism as described? A. To paint landscapes as realistically as possible. B. To use art to tell historical stories. C. To convey emotion or ideas through non-representational forms. D. To copy classical masterpieces. D Public art—art created for and situated in public spaces—plays a unique role in society. Unlike museum art, it is accessible to everyone, often free of charge, and interacts with its environment and community. It can take many forms: sculptures, murals, installations, or even architectural integrations. Its purposes are diverse: to beautify an urban area, commemorate historical events or figures, provoke thought and dialogue, or foster a sense of community identity. For example, the *Cloud Gate* sculpture in Chicago has become an iconic gathering point. However, public art can also be controversial, as it represents collective values and space. Debates may arise over its cost, aesthetic, or message. The process of selecting and creating public art often involves community input, making it a democratic and collaborative form of cultural expression. It transforms shared spaces into places of encounter, reflection, and shared experience, proving that art’s impact is magnified when it moves beyond gallery walls and engages directly with the public sphere. 10. What is a defining feature of public art compared to museum art? A. It is always more valuable. B. It is created by more famous artists. C. It is accessible to everyone in public spaces. D. It is never controversial. 11. What is one function of public art mentioned in the text? A. To be kept in private collections. B. To foster a sense of community identity. C. To replace traditional architecture. D. To generate profit from entry fees. 12. Why can public art sometimes be controversial? A. Because it is always ugly. B. Because it involves public funds, space, and represents collective values, which people may disagree on. C. Because it is never maintained. D. Because only experts understand it. 13. The word “provoke” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. A. calm B. stimulate or give rise to C. imitate D. hide 14. What does the example of *Cloud Gate* in Chicago illustrate? A. How public art can become an iconic community landmark. B. That all public art is made of metal. C. That public art is only for tourists. D. The high cost of public sculptures. 15. What is the author’s overall attitude towards public art? A. Dismissive and critical. B. Appreciative of its role in engaging communities and enriching public life. C. Indifferent. D. Concerned only about its cost. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Start Your Own Art Collection Starting an art collection can seem daunting, reserved for the wealthy or expert. However, anyone can begin a meaningful collection by focusing on personal passion and informed choices, rather than investment potential. Collect What You Love. This is the golden rule.

A certificate of authenticity is important for original works. ___19___ Build Relationships. Talk to gallery owners, artists, and other collectors. Ask questions.

To my untrained eye, the canvases splashed with seemingly random color or the abstract sculptures looked like something a child could make. “That’s not real art,” I’d think, heading straight for the Renaissance portraits I understood. My perspective shifted during a mandatory art history course. Our professor, Dr. Vance, didn’t just show us slides; she taught us to ___21___ . One day, she stood us before a large, monochromatic blue painting by Yves Klein. “What do you see?” she asked. We shifted uncomfortably. “A big blue rectangle,” someone mumbled. “Okay,” she said calmly. “Now, how does it make you ___22___ ?” That question was a key. I stopped trying to “figure it out” and just looked. The blue was incredibly ___23___ , almost vibrating. It wasn’t just a color; it felt like a space, an atmosphere. It was calming yet immense. I felt small, but not insignificant—connected to something vast. For the first time, I wasn’t looking *at* a painting; I was having an ___24___ with it. Dr. Vance then explained Klein’s obsession with this particular blue, which he patented, and his desire to capture the immaterial—the void, the infinite. The context didn’t “explain away” the painting; it gave the experience depth, like learning the ___25___ of a piece of music after being moved by its melody. That semester was a ___26___ in seeing. I learned about the intense labor behind Jackson Pollock’s drips, the controlled chaos that was anything but random. I understood that Mark Rothko’s hovering color fields were meant to be ___27___ , to evoke basic human emotions. Modern art, I realized, wasn’t about representing the world you could photograph; it was about making the invisible ___28___ —emotion, energy, thought, process. I returned to the museum, but now I walked slowly. I spent twenty minutes with a single Agnes Martin drawing—just faint pencil lines on a vast white field. I saw the tremble of her hand, the breath held in those lines, the search for perfect, quiet ___29___ . What I once dismissed as “nothing” now felt full of profound intention. This journey taught me that my initial ___30___ was a form of blindness. I was demanding art speak a language I knew, instead of learning to listen to its many dialects. True appreciation requires ___31___ —a willingness to suspend judgment, to be present, and to let the work act upon you. It requires meeting the artist halfway, bringing your own ___32___ and emotions to complete the conversation that the artwork starts. Art, I now believe, is not a puzzle to be solved but a presence to be ___33___ . It challenges, comforts, confuses, and clarifies. It asks questions rather than provides answers. That big blue painting didn’t give me a story, but it gave me a feeling—a feeling of wonder that has stayed with me. It opened a door to a world where perception is fluid and meaning is collaborative. It made me a more patient, curious, and ___34___ observer, not just of art, but of the complex, often abstract, textures of life itself. The greatest masterpiece, I learned, might be the ___35___ to see differently. 21. A. memorize B. question C. paint D. analyze 22. A. think B. feel C. act D. know 23. A. pale B. dark C. intense D. common 24. A. argument B. interview C. experience D. lesson 25. A. lyrics B. rhythm C. title D. price 26. A. setback B. revolution C. requirement D. simplification 27. A. read B. ignored C. immersed in D. criticized 28. A. beautiful B. valuable C. visible D. tangible 29. A. order B. noise C. color D. movement 30. A. admiration B. curiosity C. rejection D. understanding 31. A. speed B. effort C. talent D. money 32. A. interpretations B. textbooks C. tools D. judgments 33. A. purchased B. sold C. encountered D. copied 34. A. critical B. passive C. receptive D. hostile 35. A. inability B. capacity C. painting D. tool 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Art restoration is a delicate and highly specialized field ___36___ (devote) to preserving and repairing works of art for future generations. It requires a deep understanding of art history, chemistry, and fine craftsmanship. The primary goal is to stabilize the artwork and, where necessary, carefully reverse the effects of time, damage, or ___37___ (previous) poor restoration attempts. However, a key ethical principle is “reversibility”—any treatment applied should, in theory, be removable in the future without harming the original work. The process begins with thorough examination and documentation, often using advanced imaging technology to see beneath the surface. Restorers must decide how much to intervene. ___38___ (clean) a darkened old master painting can reveal brilliant original colors, but it also removes the historical patina. Similarly, ___39___ (fill) losses in a sculpture involves matching texture and color while making the repair discernible to experts. Public debates often arise around restoration, as seen with the controversial cleaning of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes. Some argued the cleaning was too aggressive, ___40___ (leave) the figures looking oddly bright. This highlights the subjective nature of restoration decisions; there is no absolute “original” state to return to, only choices based on current ___41___ (science) knowledge and philosophical stance. Ultimately, art restoration is a dialogue between the past and the present. It seeks to honor the artist’s intent while acknowledging the artwork’s journey through time. By ___42___ (careful) preserving these cultural treasures, restorers ensure that the conversation between the artwork and ___43___ (observe) can continue for centuries to come. Their work, though often unseen, is vital for ___44___ (maintain) our tangible connection to human creativity and history. It reminds us that art is not static but a living legacy that requires our active, ___45___ (respect) stewardship. 第三部分 翻译句子（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 将下列中文句子翻译成英文，要求使用括号内所给的单词或短语。 46. 这幅画以其对光线和色彩的独特处理而闻名。(be famous for) 47. 艺术评论家们对这位年轻艺术家的作品评价褒贬不一。(be divided on) 48. 博物馆正在举办一个展览，展示二十世纪抽象艺术的发展。(put on) 49. 他的早期作品深受中国传统文化和水墨画的影响。(be influenced by) 50. 欣赏现代艺术常常需要观众以一种开放的心态参与其中。(require) 第四部分 书面表达（满分15分） 假设你是李华，你校英文报“Art World”栏目正在举办征文活动，主题是“The Power of Public Art”。请你写一篇短文，结合一个具体的例子（真实的或设想的），谈谈公共艺术如何影响社区或个人。 注意：词数80左右。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
