(2023新课标II卷第28题) Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.
28. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on the art of writing.
C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A review of modern paintings.
29. What are the selected artworks about?
A. Wealth and intellect. B. Home and school.
C. Books and reading. D. Work and leisure.
30. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Understand. B. Paint.
C. Seize. D. Transform.
31. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?
A. The printed book is not totally out of date.
B. Technology has changed the way we read.
C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D. People now rarely have the patience to read.

Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria, England
It was an extremely cold winter’s evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image(图像).
Timothy Smith(2014)
Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England
I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe. a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.
21. Who would most probably enter for Take a view?
A. Writers. B. Photographers. C. Painters. D. Tourists.
22. What do the works by Shepherd and Smith have in common?

D. They focus on snow—covered forests.
23. Where can the text be found?
A. In a history book. B. In a novel. C. In an art magazine. D. In a biography.

(2025·河南安阳·二模)For travelers taking the train from Stockholm to Abisko, there’s a shared goal—witnessing the Northern Lights. Abisko, a small town about 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, is one of Sweden’s northernmost settlements and has some of the clearest skies in Europe, a golden ticket for those who are crazy about the Northern Lights.
The train departs from Stockholm at 6 p. m. daily and arrives in Sápmi—the traditional territory of the Sámi people, with a pink sunrise over snow plains and fir trees. At night you can spot the Milky Way and other dark sky phenomena from your hotel window or head to remote areas of the village, such as Lake Torneträsk Pier.
The best way to see the lights may be on the return train to Stockholm. Barely 30 minutes have passed before an announcement rings out over the train’s speakers: “If you look out of the right-hand windows, you’ll see a wonderful show from the Northern Lights.” A number of tourists in the carriage rush to press their faces against the windows and are treated to hours of recurring lights.
Norwegian railway service Vy runs a direct Stockholm-to-Abisko train daily, leaving at 6 p. m. and arriving by 11 a. m. Single ticket options include a single seat($95), a berth(卧铺)in a six-person carriage($140), a berth in a three-person carriage($170), a private second-class compartment(隔间)for groups of three($400), or a first-class private compartment with a toilet and shower($600).

(2025·河南安阳·二模)For travelers taking the train from Stockholm to Abisko, there’s a shared goal—witnessing the Northern Lights. Abisko, a small town about 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, is one of Sweden’s northernmost settlements and has some of the clearest skies in Europe, a golden ticket for those who are crazy about the Northern Lights.
The train departs from Stockholm at 6 p. m. daily and arrives in Sápmi—the traditional territory of the Sámi people, with a pink sunrise over snow plains and fir trees. At night you can spot the Milky Way and other dark sky phenomena from your hotel window or head to remote areas of the village, such as Lake Torneträsk Pier.
The best way to see the lights may be on the return train to Stockholm. Barely 30 minutes have passed before an announcement rings out over the train’s speakers: “If you look out of the right-hand windows, you’ll see a wonderful show from the Northern Lights.” A number of tourists in the carriage rush to press their faces against the windows and are treated to hours of recurring lights.
Norwegian railway service Vy runs a direct Stockholm-to-Abisko train daily, leaving at 6 p. m. and arriving by 11 a. m. Single ticket options include a single seat($95), a berth(卧铺)in a six-person carriage($140), a berth in a three-person carriage($170), a private second-class compartment(隔间)for groups of three($400), or a first-class private compartment with a toilet and shower($600).
Vy offers bus or other travel alternatives if weather affects your trip. You will be traveling through some of the toughest climates, so prepare for minor delays—it’s all part of the experience.
1. What is the primary reason for travelers to visit Abisko?
A. To experience Sweden’s culture. B. To see a natural phenomenon.

1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“For travelers taking the train from Stockholm to Abisko, there’s a shared goal—witnessing the Northern Lights. Abisko, a small town about 150 miles north of the Arctic Circle, is one of Sweden’s northernmost settlements and has some of the clearest skies in Europe, a golden ticket for those who are crazy about the Northern Lights.(从斯德哥尔摩乘火车到阿比斯库的旅行者有一个共同的目标——目睹北极光。阿比斯库(Abisko)是一个小镇,位于北极圈以北约150英里处,是瑞典最北的定居点之一,拥有欧洲最清澈的天空,对于那些痴迷于北极光的人来说,这是一张黄金门票)”可知,前往阿比斯库(Abisko)的游客的共同目标是目睹北极光,北极光是一种自然现象,所以游客访问阿比斯库的主要原因是为了看一种自然现象。故选B项。
