As an amateur artist, I see digital tools not as a threat to traditional art but as a means of opening the door to creativity for people. The cost of materials (quality paper, brushes, and professional grade paints) to create traditional art can be pretty high. Besides, not everyone has a studio in which to create works or store drying and finished pieces. Whenever I embark on a painting project, it’s either my front room that becomes unusable or, it’s the dining room table that’s out of bounds for hours or days. Digital art, by contrast, requires just one investment: with apps like Procreate, Krita, Illustrator, or Canva. Anyone can access tools like oil paints or calligraphy pens to create high-quality work without the financial burden of investing in or replacing materials. For someone on a tight budget, this can be the difference between creating and giving up on a dream entirely. In modern life, between work, family, and the endless to-do lists, many simply don’t have the luxury of engaging themselves in their practice for hours. Digital art fits perfectly into busy lives. Anyone can draw while sitting in an armchair, add colour to a piece on the bus, or refine details during an endless wait at the doctor’s surgery. For those juggling (兼顾) art with everything else life throws at us, this convenience is a game changer. Some people think that digital art is cheating because it makes the process too easy. But let’s be honest. Digital artists might use layers or digital tracing as a starting point, but these tools don’t replace the creativity or skill in composition, colour, perspective. They’re simply modern techniques to achieve the same end — bringing an idea or vision to life. Art is an expression of the human experience. The medium used shouldn’t define the message. Art is art. What matters is the thought and effort behind the work. Digital art doesn’t diminish (削弱) traditional art. Instead, it expands the boundaries of what’s possible. It makes being an artist (amateur or professional) accessible to those who might otherwise feel excluded due to finances, space, or time. Art, at its best, is about connecting the artist with their work and between the work and its audience. 【译文欣赏】 近年来，数字艺术引发了激烈的讨论。作为一名业余艺术家，我认为数字工具并非对传统艺术的威胁，而是为人们打开创意之门的途径。 制作传统艺术所需的材料（优质纸张、画笔和专业级颜料）成本相当高昂。此外，并非人人都有工作室来创作作品或存放干燥后的成品。每当我开始绘画项目时，要么前厅被占得寸寸，要么餐厅餐桌要被闲置数小时甚至数日。相比之下，数字艺术只需一次投资：通过Procreate、Krita、Illustrator或Canva等软件即可实现。任何人都能使用油画颜料或书法笔等工具创作高质量作品，无需承担购置或更换材料的经济负担。对于预算紧张的人来说，这可能成为实现梦想与彻底放弃之间的关键差异。 在现代生活中，工作、家庭和堆积如山的待办事项让许多人无暇投入数小时的创作。数字艺术完美契合快节奏生活——有人能在扶手椅上随手勾勒，有人在公交车上为作品添彩，还有人能在漫长的候诊中完善细节。对于那些既要应付 兼顾 又要兼顾其他事务的人来说，这种便利性堪称生活新体验。 有人认为数字艺术是作弊，因为它让创作过程变得过于简单。但说实在的，数字艺术家或许会用图层或数字描摹作为起点，但这些工具并不能替代构图、色彩、透视方面的创造力和技巧。它们不过是实现相同目标的现代技法——将创意或愿景具象化。 艺术是人类经验的表达。媒介不应定义信息，艺术的本质在于其思想与创作。数字艺术并未削弱（削弱）传统艺术，反而拓展了艺术可能性的边界，让那些因资金、场地或时间限制而被边缘化的艺术家（无论业余或专业）都能参与其中。最优秀的艺术，是艺术家与作品、作品与观众之间心灵的联结。 【词句积累】 1.amateur artist余艺术家 2.digital 数字的 3.creativity 创造力 4.perspective透视 5.techniques 技巧 1.“As an amateur artist, I see digital tools not as a threat to traditional art but as a means of opening the door to creativity for people.作为一名业余艺术家，我认为数字工具并非对传统艺术构成威胁，而是为人们开启了创造力的新大门。 2.“Digital artists might use layers or digital tracing as a starting point, but these tools don’t replace the creativity or skill in composition, colour, perspective.

Through its window, the warm magnesium light still flickers, just as it did tens of years ago. For 44-year-old Wei Wei, this small studio is more than a workplace — it’ s a treasure from his father. Wei’s childhood was closely tied to the studio. His father joined the state-owned studio in 1974. When Wei was little, he often stayed with his father, watching him mix chemicals, load film plates, and take photos with an analog camera (胶片相机). “On busy days, Dad would shoot and print over 100 photos,” Wei remembers. “He took pictures of workers’ smiling faces, children’s curious eyes, and labor models’ proud looks. I was eager to do the same — keep people’s special stories.” As Wei grew up, digital photography became popular, and analog cameras fell out of use. But last year, after his father passed away, Wei decided to take over the studio. To his surprise, more and more tourists have come to the studio, drawn by nostalgia for the old days. Before developing the film, Wei always checks the negatives carefully, following his father’s old methods. He also reminds visitors to bring the film to room temperature first, a small but important detail. Today, the studio’s walls are covered with pictures from different times. These photos not only hold the sweet memories of the people in the town but also see the changes of society. For Wei, running the studio is not just a family trade. It’s a way to keep real stories alive. In a fast-paced digital world, Agan Photo Studio gives people a chance to slow down, treasure the moment, and rediscover the unique charm of analog photography. 1．Why did Wei Wei want to do the same job as his father? A．To help support his family together. B．To carry on the family business as expected. C．To keep meaningful moments in people’s lives. D．To take over a state - owned studio for its survival. 2．What does the underlined word “ nostalgia” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A longing for the sweet past. B．An expectation for better life. C．A curiosity about high technology. D．A dislike for old-fashioned things. 3．What do the photos on the studio’s walls mainly symbolize? A．Attractions for tourists and art lovers. B．A collection of famous local figures. C．Personal memories and social changes. D．The technical progress of photography. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Rise and Fall of Analog Photography B．A 50-Year-Old Photo Studio Keeps Stories Alive C．Wei Wei’s Childhood Memories in a Photo Studio D．Analog Photography Regains Its Popularity 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了位于甘肃兰州附近阿甘镇的阿甘照相馆历经50年，传承两代人，在数字摄影时代因承载回忆与故事而吸引游客的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“He took pictures of workers’s smiling faces, children’s curious eyes, and labor models’ proud looks. I was eager to do the same — keep people’s special stories.(他拍摄工人的笑脸、孩子好奇的眼神和劳动模范自豪的神情。我渴望做同样的事——留存人们特别的故事)”可知，魏伟想和父亲做同样的工作是为了留存人们生活中有意义的时刻。故选C项。 2．词义猜测题。根据第三段“As Wei grew up, digital photography became popular, and analog cameras fell out of use.(随着魏逐渐长大，数码摄影开始流行起来，而胶片相机则逐渐被淘汰)”及“To his surprise, more and more tourists have come to the studio, drawn by nostalgia for the old days.(令他惊讶的是，越来越多的游客来到这家照相馆，被对过去日子的nostalgia所吸引)”可知，胶片相机已经被逐渐淘汰，现在游客又因某种原因来到这家老式照相馆。由此可知，划线词nostalgia与A longing for the sweet past(对甜蜜过去的渴望)意思接近。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“These photos not only hold the sweet memories of the people in the town but also see the changes of society.(这些照片不仅承载着小镇居民的甜蜜回忆，也见证着社会的变迁)”可知，照相馆墙上的照片主要象征着个人回忆和社会变迁。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文以及根据第一段“In Agan Town, not far from  Lanzhou in Gansu Province, Agan Photo Studio has been standing for 50  years. Through its window, the warm magnesium light still flickers, just  as it did tens of years ago. For 44-year-old Wei Wei, this small studio  is more than a workplace — it’ s a treasure from his father.(在甘肃兰州不远处的阿干镇，阿干照相馆已经伫立了50年。透过橱窗望去，温暖的镁光灯依旧闪烁，一如数十年前那般模样。对44岁的魏伟而言，这家小小的照相馆不只是一个谋生的场所，更是父亲留下的一份珍贵念想)”可知，文章围绕阿甘照相馆展开，讲述它50年的历史，承载的回忆以及在新时代的故事。由此可知，B选项“A 50-Year-Old Photo Studio Keeps Stories Alive(一家有50年历史的照相馆让故事鲜活)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。 Passage2 （25-26高三上·辽宁丹东·期末）A collection of photos published by the New York Times in 2014 encouraged Susan Brown to make a cold call. It wasn’t usually her style, but the pictures delighted her, and she felt an urge to get in touch with the photographer. The photo essay showed intricate details from New England textile factories: a worker removing something from a floral fabric at a carpet company. The photographer was Christopher Payne, and he was New York-based. The images were part of his early attempts into photographing American industries. Brown praised his photos and asked how he’d produced some of the shots; she hoped to someday find the right opportunity to feature his work at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Payne was happy to connect, knowing museums are particularly choosy in selecting high-caliber art. The occasion to collaborate has come more than a decade later. “Made in America: The Industrial Photography of Christopher Payne” will be exhibited at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in 2026. The display will feature more than 70 of Payne’s photos. Trained as an architect, Payne taught himself to take photos using design principles, drawing on his ability to visualize three-dimensional spaces on two-dimensional surfaces. This foundational skill allowed him to deconstruct complex industrial scenes into structured compositions. He thought of photos like stages — carefully arranging visual elements within the frame to guide the viewer’s eye, a method he applied to everything from crowded factory floors to intricate machine details. The photo projects he pursued often reflected his love for architecture and design. While working on his 2009 book, Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals, he photographed abandoned hospitals across the country, which seemed to have grand exteriors, but dilapidated interiors. Payne liked the creative challenge of finding beauty and order in places that were traditionally unphotogenic or untidy, and he took pride in creating photos that showed industrial production in unexpected ways. He sought to photograph mass-produced goods, like American flags, as well as modern products, like computer chips. 1．Why did Susan Brown contact Christopher Payne? A．To interview him. B．To exhibit his work. C．To invite him to visit a museum. D．To learn photography skills from him. 2．What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A．Payne’s architectural background defines his photographic eye. B．Payne’s education experience makes him onto a glory stage. C．Payne shows a great talent for art and has a promising future. D．Payne photographs a wide range of subjects to improve himself. 3．What does the underlined word “dilapidated” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Beautifully decorated. B．Well preserved. C．Badly damaged. D．Brightly lit. 4．How does Payne show industrial production? A．By highlighting natural disorder. B．By focusing on modern computer chips. C．By revealing beauty in common products. D．By following traditional photographic techniques. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Susan Brown因欣赏Christopher Payne的工业摄影作品而联系他，最终促成其作品将于2026年在博物馆展出，Payne凭借建筑背景的视觉训练，以独特构图展现工业场景的美感，并擅长在非常规题材中发现秩序与艺术性。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Brown praised his photos and asked how he’d produced some of the shots; she hoped to someday find the right opportunity to feature his work at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. (Brown称赞了他的照片，并询问他如何拍摄了其中一些画面；她希望有朝一日能在库珀·休伊特史密森尼设计博物馆找到合适的机会展出他的作品。)”可知，Susan Brown联系Christopher Payne是为了展出他的作品。故选B项。 2．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Trained as an architect, Payne taught himself to take photos using design principles, drawing on his ability to visualize three-dimensional spaces on two-dimensional surfaces. This foundational skill allowed him to deconstruct complex industrial scenes into structured compositions. He thought of photos like stages — carefully arranging visual elements within the frame to guide the viewer’s eye, a method he applied to everything from crowded factory floors to intricate machine details. (Payne曾接受过建筑师的培训，他自学运用设计原则来拍摄照片，凭借自己在二维平面上构想三维空间的能力，将这一技能运用到实践中。这一基础技能使他能够将复杂的工业场景分解为有条理的构图。他把照片比作舞台——在画面中精心布置视觉元素，以引导观众的目光，这种方法他运用到了从拥挤的工厂车间到复杂的机器细节等各种场景中。)”可知，本段主要聚焦Payne的建筑背景塑造了他的摄影眼光。故选A项。 3．词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“he photographed abandoned hospitals across the country, which seemed to have grand exteriors (他拍摄了全国各地的废弃医院，这些医院外观宏伟)”以及表示转折的“but”可知，这些废弃医院虽然外观宏伟，但内部破败不堪，画线词意思应该是“严重损坏的”。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Payne liked the creative challenge of finding beauty and order in places that were traditionally unphotogenic or untidy, and he took pride in creating photos that showed industrial production in unexpected ways. (Payne喜欢在传统上不上镜或杂乱的地方寻找美和秩序的创造性挑战，并为以出人意料的方式展示工业生产的照片感到自豪。)”可知，Payne通过揭示普通产品中的美来展示工业生产。故选C项。 Passage3 （25-26高一上·辽宁葫芦岛·期末）Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was one of the most influential painters of the Post-Impressionist period. His life was filled with endless struggles and deep loneliness: he sold only one painting during his lifetime, relying heavily on his brother Theo for financial and emotional support. Van Gogh was a highly productive creator, producing over 2,100 artworks in just a decade of artistic career, including around 860 oil paintings — most of which were completed in the last two years of his life, a period marked by extreme mental suffering yet unusual creative surge. In the early 1880s, van Gogh’s painting style was dark and gloomy, deeply influenced by his time in the Netherlands, where he focused on realistic scenes of peasant life and the hardship of working-class existence. However, after moving to Paris in 1886, he was exposed to the lively works of Impressionists like Monet and Pissarro, as well as Japanese ukiyo-e (浮世绘) prints. This cultural mix led to a dramatic change in his style: he began using brighter, more lively colors and shorter, energetic brushstrokes, making an effort to capture the passing light and subtle atmospheric features of his subjects. In 1888, van Gogh moved to Arles in southern France, attracted by its warm sunlight and rural landscapes, and hoped to set up an artists’ community. It was here that he painted some of his most famous masterpieces, such as the Sunflowers series and The Night Café. But his weak mental health started to get worse quickly; after a bitter argument with his friend Paul Gauguin, he did the well-known act of cutting off part of his own ear. He spent some time now and then in mental hospitals but never stopped painting. Van Gogh’s art was not widely recognized until after his sad death at 37. Today, his works are praised globally for their emotional strength, striking color contrasts, and unique expressive brushwork, making him one of the most loved and respected artists in art history. 1．What can we infer about van Gogh’s life from the first paragraph? A．His artistic talent was widely acknowledged during his lifetime. B．His brother Theo played a crucial role in his artistic career. C．He created most of his works in the early stage of his career. D．His mental distress prevented him from being productive. 2．What caused the change in van Gogh’s painting style after 1886? A．His move to the Netherlands and focus on peasant life. B．His desire to express the harshness of working-class life. C．His growing interest in using bright lights and shadows. D．His exposure to Impressionist works and Japanese prints. 3．Why is the period in Arles significant for van Gogh’s artistic life? A．He finally gained recognition for his artworks there. B．He developed a friendship with Paul Gauguin there. C．He created some of his most famous masterpieces there. D．He established a successful artists’ colony there. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The life struggles of van Gogh. B．The change of van Gogh’s painting style. C．The influence of van Gogh’s works on art history. D．A brief introduction to van Gogh’s life and art. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了梵高的一生及其艺术成就，包括他的生活困境、艺术风格的转变以及在阿尔勒时期的重要创作。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“His life was filled with endless struggles and deep loneliness: he sold only one painting during his lifetime, relying heavily on his brother Theo for financial and emotional support.(他的一生充满了无尽的挣扎和深深的孤独：他一生只卖出了一幅画，在金钱和情感上严重依赖他的弟弟提奥)”可知，梵高在金钱和情感上严重依赖他的弟弟提奥，由此可推断，他的弟弟提奥在梵高的艺术生涯中起到了至关重要的作用。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, after moving to Paris in 1886, he was exposed to the lively works of Impressionists like Monet and Pissarro, as well as Japanese ukiyo-e (浮世绘) prints. This cultural mix led to a dramatic change in his style(然而，1886年搬到巴黎后，他接触到了莫奈和毕沙罗等印象派画家的生动作品，以及日本浮世绘版画。这种文化融合导致他的风格发生了巨大变化)”可知，1886年后梵高绘画风格的改变是由于他接触到了印象派作品和日本版画。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1888, van Gogh moved to Arles in southern France, attracted by its warm sunlight and rural landscapes, and hoped to set up an artists’ community. It was here that he painted some of his most famous masterpieces, such as the Sunflowers series and The Night Café.(1888年，梵高被温暖的阳光和乡村风光吸引，搬到了法国南部的阿尔勒，希望建立一个艺术家社区。正是在这里，他创作了一些最著名的杰作，如《向日葵》系列和《夜间咖啡馆》)”可知，阿尔勒时期对梵高的艺术生涯很重要是因为他在这里创作了一些最著名的杰作。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was one of the most influential painters of the Post-Impressionist period.(文森特·梵高(1853-1890)是后印象派时期最具影响力的画家之一)”可知，文章主要介绍了梵高的一生及其艺术成就，包括他的生活困境、艺术风格的转变以及在阿尔勒时期的重要创作。故选D项。 Passage4 （25-26高二上·河北承德·月考）Born in Xi’an, the eastern starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xu Wen never imagined that a visit to an English antique shop would tie her to the route’s western end. Two decades ago, she and her British husband, Alastair Blackburn, were immediately attracted by three small, vividly colored, finely detailed paintings. Upon close examination, the couple found they weren’t just ordinary watercolors, as the paper was unique, and the pigments (颜料)seemed mineral-based. They bought the works immediately. These pieces marked the couple’s first encounter with Tongcao painting, or pith painting, which served as a window to 19th-century China, an era without cameras. Tongcao paintings are created on dried pith from a rice paper plant, whose honeycombed texture (纹理) differs sharply from fibrous ordinary paper. This unique material prevents watercolors from sinking in; instead, the paint sits on top, creating a faint three-dimensional effect that modern reproductions struggle to match. Xu later explained that these artworks were like “Eastern postcards” made by Guangzhou craftsmen. When Guangzhou was China’s only port open to Western trade, painters adapted Western styles to describe daily life, festivals, and customs for curious Western merchants. Fascinated by this forgotten chapter of cross-cultural exchange, the couple spent 20 years collecting Tongcao paintings. They searched antique shops and private collections across Europe, eventually amassing over 2,000 pieces showing 19th-century Chinese life and customs. Their passion led them to build a museum in 2023, which was opened in a historical building in Blackburn’s hometown, long recognized as the Silk Road’s western endpoint. “This museum bridges the two ends of the Silk Road,” Xu said. Many Chinese visitors have come and appreciated in person the town’s long history with China through the museum and the way local shops and cultural centers celebrated their ties to the Silk Road. To further promote this heritage, the couple founded the Silk Road Foundation in 2023 and invited students to copy Tongcao works. Xu also cooperated with schools in Xi’ an, hoping to pass on this culture. “These paintings are living history,” she said. “We must make sure they keep telling their stories of East-West connection.” 1．Why are Tongcao paintings different from modern reproductions? A．Their watercolor disappears easily. B．They describe 19th-century Chinese life. C．Their material creates a faint 3D effect. D．They were made for Western merchants. 2．What does the underlined word “amassing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Collecting. B．Selling. C．Displaying. D．Creating. 3．What did Xu Wen and her husband do for Tongcao paintings? A．They sold them to European collectors. B．They built a museum to protect them. C．They taught people to make them in China. D．They studied their origin in Guangzhou. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A．To introduce a new type of painting. B．To encourage people to visit a Silk Road museum. C．To compare Chinese and Western painting styles. D．To praise a couple’s contributions to cultural preservation. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍徐文夫妇邂逅通草画并花费二十年收藏，最终建馆传承，助力东西方丝路文化交流的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This unique material prevents watercolors from sinking in; instead, the paint sits on top, creating a faint three-dimensional effect that modern reproductions struggle to match. (这种独特的材料能防止水彩颜料渗入纸内，相反，颜料会浮在纸的表面，形成一种现代仿制品难以企及的微弱立体感。)”可知，通草画与现代仿制品不同的原因是其使用的特殊材料能形成微弱的立体效果。故选C项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Fascinated by this forgotten chapter of cross-cultural exchange, the couple spent 20 years collecting Tongcao paintings. They searched antique shops and private collections across Europe, eventually amassing over 2,000 pieces showing 19th-century Chinese life and customs. (这对夫妇痴迷于这段被遗忘的跨文化交流篇章，花费二十年时间收藏通草画。他们寻访欧洲各地的古董店和私人收藏，最终amassing了两千多件展现19世纪中国生活与习俗的作品。)”可知，前文提到夫妇二人一直在收藏通草画，因此“amassing”的含义与“collecting”一致，意为收集、积累。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Their passion led them to build a museum in 2023, which was opened in a historical building in Blackburn’s hometown, long recognized as the Silk Road’s western endpoint. (这份热爱促使他们在2023年建立了一座博物馆，博物馆坐落于布莱克本故乡的一座历史建筑中，这里一直被认为是丝绸之路的西端终点。)”可知，徐文和丈夫为通草画所做的事是修建博物馆来保护这些藏品。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，文章讲述徐文夫妇偶然发现通草画，耗时二十年寻访收藏，建立博物馆并成立基金会推广这一文化遗产的故事，全文围绕二人对通草画这一文化瑰宝的保护和传承贡献展开。因此作者的写作目的是赞扬这对夫妇在文化保护方面做出的贡献。故选D项。 Passage5 （25-26高三上·河北石家庄·月考）Cultures, customs, and beliefs vary entirely worldwide. If there’s one thing all cultures have in common, it’s art. And art reflects the human experience and provides insight into its values and beliefs. Art has been a significant part of many cultures for centuries. It has been used to express faith, emotions, personal histories, and special occasions. It can be found in religious ceremonies worldwide. 1 People are using art to add color and meaning to their lives. 2 It allows people to dig into their emotions and then share their tales and emotions with the rest of the world. Whether you’re talking about a painting or sculpture, each allows you to explore and express your inner self. Some of the most impactful art pieces were created centuries ago. 3 The familiar smile and unique charm have become a permanent part of popular culture. Another classic example is The Last Supper also by Da Vinci. This painting conveys the emotion between Jesus and his apostles (传道者) with remarkable accuracy. 4 The digital age has changed the way we perceive artwork. Rather than looking at motionless objects in a museum, virtual reality may transport us to artificial, computer-generated settings with a visually spectacular interactive artwork. 5 These technological advancements have significantly impacted art. The power of art to influence how we live, think, and interact with one another is undeniable. It can transform culture, communication, and expression, providing us with a platform to explore innovative solutions and push the boundaries of what is possible. A．Artwork is an essential part in digital age. B．Exploring your inner self is of vital importance. C．In smaller aspects, it can be seen in people’s daily life. D．Art is a beautiful way to express feelings and thoughts. E．Artists use tools like Photoshop to produce complicated works. F．Even today, it continues to move viewers with its powerful imagery. G．Perhaps none is more celebrated than Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．G 4．F 5．E 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术在人类生活中的重要性。 1．根据空前“Art has been a significant part of many cultures for centuries. It has been used to express faith, emotions, personal histories, and special occasions. It can be found in religious ceremonies worldwide.(几个世纪以来，艺术一直是许多文化的重要组成部分。它被用于表达信仰、情感、个人经历和特殊场合。在全球的宗教仪式中都能看到艺术的身影。)”及空后“People are using art to add color and meaning to their lives.(人们正通过艺术为自己的生活增添色彩与意义。)”可知，空前提到艺术出现在全球宗教仪式中，空后则提到艺术在日常生活中的使用，故C项“从更小的层面来说，它也渗透于日常生活中。”符合，从空前的宗教仪式中衔接更日常的层面，且C项中的it指代空前的Art。故选C项。 2．根据空后“It allows people to dig into their emotions and then share their tales and emotions with the rest of the world. Whether you’re talking about a painting or sculpture, each allows you to explore and express your inner self.(它让人们深入挖掘自身情感，进而将自己的故事与情绪分享给世界。无论是绘画还是雕塑，每一种艺术形式都让你得以探索并表达内在的自我。)”可知，空后提到艺术使人们挖掘情感和表达情感的方式，故此处D项“艺术是表达情感与思想的美好方式。”符合，位于段首，概括本段内容。故选D项。 3．根据空前“Some of the most impactful art pieces were created centuries ago.(一些最具影响力的艺术作品创作于数百年前。)”和空后“The familiar smile and unique charm have become a permanent part of popular culture.(那熟悉的微笑与独特的魅力已成为流行文化中永恒的一部分。)”可知，空前提到“几个世纪前创作的有影响力的艺术品”，空后则指出“熟悉的微笑与独特魅力”，故此空需引出具体例子，故G项“或许没有哪件作品比莱昂纳多·达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》更广为人知。”符合。故选G项。 4．根据空前“Another classic example is The Last Supper also by Da Vinci. This painting conveys the emotion between Jesus and his apostles (传道者) with remarkable accuracy.(另一个经典范例是同样出自达·芬奇之手的《最后的晚餐》。这幅画以惊人的准确度传达了耶稣与门徒之间的情感。)”可知，空前描述《最后的晚餐》精准传达情感，故此空应表达其影响力的延续，故F项“直至今日，它依然以其强烈的画面感染力打动着观众。”符合，进一步表现《最后的晚餐》的影响力，强调至今仍能打动观众。故选F项。 5．根据空后“These technological advancements have significantly impacted art.(这些技术进步对艺术产生了深远影响。)”可知，空后提出“这些技术进步”，故此空应出现“这些技术进步”的指代，且前句讨论数字时代与虚拟现实对艺术体验的改变，故E项“艺术家们运用像Photoshop这样的工具创作出复杂的作品。”符合，补充具体技术工具如何辅助创作，体现技术进步的影响，且空后的These technological advancements 指代项中的“tools like Photoshop”。故选E项。 Passage6 （25-26高三上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期末）Art is a universal language that goes beyond cultures and eras. Whether you’re strolling through a museum, browsing a gallery, or simply appreciating a piece of art in a friend’s home, understanding how to view, appreciate, and discuss art can deepen your connection to the work. 1 Here are some questions to help you explore the world of art. What are the key components of art? Artists use some fundamental “building blocks” to create their works. These concepts include lines, color, space, etc. For example, lines can be straight, curved, thick, or thin. 2 They convey movement, direction, and emotion. How does the artist arrange the components? 3 Such instructions help artists organize the elements of art to convey their message and draw a response from the viewer. The next time you enjoy a piece of art, you may ask yourself these questions: What in the piece grabs my attention? Does the work have equal “weight” on each side, or does one area look heavier? What is the context of the piece of art? Understanding the characteristics of different art periods can provide context and deeper appreciation when you are viewing art. Each period has distinct styles, techniques, and themes that reflect cultural, social, and historical background. 4 It is known for its dramatic, emotional intensity, and use of light and shadow. What else may change the artwork’s interpretation? Each person brings their own experiences, emotions, and cultural background to their interpretation of a piece of art. So an artwork is seen differently depending on who is looking at it. 5 A quiet museum, a busy gallery, or a cozy home will all shape how we feel about and understand the same piece. For example, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers feels like a priceless, untouchable masterpiece when you see it in a quiet museum. But a nice print of this same Van Gogh painting in your cozy kitchen just feels like a warm, cheerful addition to your daily life. A．Take the Baroque art for example. B．Art creation follows originality principle. C．This, in turn, enhances your overall experience. D．They can arouse various psychological responses. E．The setting can also affect the viewer’s understanding. F．Certain guidelines are followed to create compositions. G．They can define shapes and create structures or patterns. 【答案】1．C 2．G 3．F 4．A 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍通过四个问题探索艺术世界、提升艺术欣赏能力的方法。 1．上文“Whether you’re strolling through a museum, browsing a gallery, or simply appreciating a piece of art in a friend’s home, understanding how to view, appreciate, and discuss art can deepen your connection to the work.(无论你是在博物馆里漫步徜徉、在美术馆中随心浏览，还是只是在朋友家中欣赏一件艺术品，学会如何观赏、品鉴并探讨艺术，都能加深你与作品之间的联结)”说明掌握艺术欣赏方法的作用。空后“Here are some questions to help you explore the world of art.(这里有一些问题可以帮助你探索艺术世界)”引出下文具体方法。空处和上文为顺接关系，需说明加深与艺术作品联结的后续影响。选项C“This, in turn, enhances your overall experience.(这反过来又能提升你的整体体验)”中的“This”指代上文“deepen your connection to the work”，既承接上文，又自然引出下文的探索方法，符合语境。故选C。 2．上文“These concepts include lines, color, space, etc. For example, lines can be straight, curved, thick, or thin.(这些基本要素包括线条、色彩、空间等。例如，线条可以是直的、弯的、粗的或细的)”介绍艺术基本要素中的线条及其形态。空后“They convey movement, direction, and emotion.(它们能传达动感、方向和情感)”说明线条的作用。空处需承接上文，进一步说明线条的功能。选项G“They can define shapes and create structures or patterns.(它们可以勾勒形状，构建结构或图案)”中的“They”指代上文的“lines”，与下文线条的作用相呼应，共同阐释线条在艺术创作中的功能，符合语境。故选G。 3．小标题“How does the artist arrange the components?(艺术家是如何安排这些艺术要素的？)”提出关于艺术要素布局的问题。空后“Such instructions help artists organize the elements of art to convey their message and draw a response from the viewer.(这些准则帮助艺术家组织艺术要素，以传达他们的思想并引发观者的共鸣)”说明某种准则对艺术创作的作用。空处需回答上文问题，引出下文的“instructions”。选项F“Certain guidelines are followed to create compositions.(创作构图需遵循特定的准则)”直接回应艺术家安排要素的方式，其中“Certain guidelines”对应下文的“Such instructions”，符合语境。故选F。 4．上文“Each period has distinct styles, techniques, and themes that reflect cultural, social, and historical background.(每个艺术时期都有独特的风格、技法和主题，反映了当时的文化、社会和历史背景)”说明不同艺术时期的特点。空后“It is known for its dramatic, emotional intensity, and use of light and shadow.(它以其戏剧性、强烈的情感张力以及光影的运用而闻名)”介绍某一艺术时期的特征。空处需举例引出该艺术时期。选项A“Take the Baroque art for example.(以巴洛克艺术为例)”承上启下，其中“Baroque art”对应下文的“It”，具体阐释某一艺术时期的特点，符合语境。故选A。 5．上文“Each person brings their own experiences, emotions, and cultural background to their interpretation of a piece of art. So an artwork is seen differently depending on who is looking at it.(每个人都会带着自己的经历、情感和文化背景来解读艺术品，因此不同的人对同一艺术品的看法也不同)”说明观者自身因素对艺术解读的影响。空后“A quiet museum, a busy gallery, or a cozy home will all shape how we feel about and understand the same piece.(安静的博物馆、繁忙的画廊或是温馨的家中，都会影响我们对同一作品的感受和理解)”说明不同场所对艺术解读的作用。空处需引出新的影响因素。选项E“The setting can also affect the viewer’s understanding.(欣赏环境也会影响观者的理解)”中的“The setting”对应下文的“museum”,“gallery”以及“home”，承接上文的观者因素，引出环境因素的影响，符合语境。故选E。 Passage7 （2026·广西贵港·一模）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 On Nov. 10th, 2025, I attended COP30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference, in Belem, Brazil. Beyond the formal negotiations in the meeting rooms, 1 (vary) side events were held by different parties across the pavilions (场馆). I made up my mind 2 (organize) a side event of my own — combining Chinese painting to share ideas on climate issues. My event began with projecting A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains on the screen. Few in the audience 3 (know) this work at that time, so they let out a 4 (surprise) cry when I mentioned its 10-meter length, enough to stretch across the pavilion. I pointed out that despite its vast landscapes, the painting is spotted with human signs: fishing villages by the water, pavilions nested in mountains and plains, and travelers moving 5 (leisure), each scene showing humans living in peace with nature. This reflects an ideal world where humans are part of nature, not its masters. I then explained its scattered viewpoint, also known as a God’s-eye view. The artist used a panoramic (全景), mobile viewpoint like a bird 6 (fly) high, bringing together rivers and mountains into one scroll (画卷), 7 shows humans as both participants in and observers of nature, not rulers. As we discussed how Chinese painting’s 8 (wise) applies to modern climate solutions, more people were drawn in. Though unfamiliar 9 many, it offers a unique language to connect with nature — emphasizing understanding, connection and harmony rather than just representation, 10 bringing fresh insights to global climate efforts. 【答案】1．various/varied 2．to organize 3．knew 4．surprised 5．leisurely 6．flying 7．which 8．wisdom 9．to 10．and 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了作者在2025年巴西贝伦举行的第30届联合国气候变化大会上，举办了一场结合中国画分享气候议题的边会，通过《千里江山图》的赏析，向与会者传递了人与自然和谐共生的理念，并探讨了中国画蕴含的智慧对现代气候解决方案的借鉴意义。 1．考查形容词。句意：除了会议室里的正式谈判外，不同的相关方还在场馆各处举办了各种各样的边会。此处修饰名词短语side events，需用形容词，vary的形容词形式为various或varied，均表示“各种各样的”。故填various或varied。 2．考查非谓语动词。句意：我下定决心自己举办一场边会——结合中国画来分享关于气候问题的想法。固定搭配make up one’s mind to do sth.“下定决心做某事”。故填to organize。 3．考查动词时态。句意：当时在场的观众中很少有人知道这幅作品，所以当我提到它有10米长、足以横跨整个场馆时，他们发出了惊叹声。根据时间状语at that time以及上下文的一般过去时语境可知，此处谓语动词需用一般过去时，know的过去式为knew。故填knew。 4．考查形容词。句意：当时在场的观众中很少有人知道这幅作品，所以当我提到它有10米长、足以横跨整个场馆时，他们发出了惊叹声。此处修饰名词cry，需用形容词surprised“感到惊讶的”，用于描述人的感受或相关的声音、表情等。故填surprised。 5．考查副词。句意：我指出，这幅画虽然描绘了广阔的山水景色，却处处可见人类活动的痕迹：水边的渔村、藏于山林平原的亭台楼阁，还有悠闲漫步的旅人，每一处场景都展现了人与自然的和谐共处。此处修饰动词moving，需用副词leisurely“悠闲地”，作状语。故填leisurely。 6．考查非谓语动词。句意：画家采用了全景式的移动视角，就像一只高飞的鸟，将江河山川汇聚于一卷之中，这体现出人类既是自然的参与者，也是观察者，而非统治者。此处修饰名词bird，fly与bird是主动关系，需用现在分词形式，作后置定语。故填flying。 7．考查定语从句。句意：画家采用了全景式的移动视角，就像一只高飞的鸟，将江河山川汇聚于一卷之中，这体现出人类既是自然的参与者，也是观察者，而非统治者。此处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词指代前面整个句子的内容，在从句中作主语，需用关系代词which引导。故填which。 8．考查名词。句意：当我们探讨中国画的智慧如何应用于现代气候解决方案时，更多人被吸引了过来。此处作从句的主语，且前面有名词所有格Chinese painting’s修饰，需用名词wisdom“智慧”，不可数名词。故填wisdom。 9．考查介词。句意：虽然很多人对它并不熟悉，但它提供了一种与自然联结的独特语言——强调理解、联结与和谐，而非单纯的再现，这为全球气候治理工作带来了全新的视角。固定搭配be unfamiliar to sb.“对某人来说不熟悉”，to是介词。故填to。 10．考查连词。句意：虽然很多人对它并不熟悉，但它提供了一种与自然联结的独特语言——强调理解、联结与和谐，而非单纯的再现，这为全球气候治理工作带来了全新的视角。此处连接两个并列的现在分词短语emphasizing...与bringing...，表示顺承关系，需用并列连词and。故填and。 Passage8 （2026·全国·一模）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 An exhibition of the Global Tour of Heze Juye Gongbi Peony Paintings, 1 (title) “Blooming along the Silk Road, Creating Prosperity Together,” was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Dec. 11, 2 drew nearly 100 attendees. 3 (root) in traditional meticulous brushwork techniques while incorporating modern craftsmanship, the art form vividly captures the elegance of the peony, 4 (earn) it the reputation of “the peony that never withers.” Speaking at the opening ceremony, Tony Leong Tuck Chee said that 5 the exhibition, one can genuinely feel 6 art reflects a nation’s understanding of nature’s beauty.

As an amateur artist, I see digital tools not as a threat to traditional art but as a means of opening the door to creativity for people. The cost of materials (quality paper, brushes, and professional grade paints) to create traditional art can be pretty high. Besides, not everyone has a studio in which to create works or store drying and finished pieces. Whenever I embark on a painting project, it’s either my front room that becomes unusable or, it’s the dining room table that’s out of bounds for hours or days. Digital art, by contrast, requires just one investment: with apps like Procreate, Krita, Illustrator, or Canva. Anyone can access tools like oil paints or calligraphy pens to create high-quality work without the financial burden of investing in or replacing materials. For someone on a tight budget, this can be the difference between creating and giving up on a dream entirely. In modern life, between work, family, and the endless to-do lists, many simply don’t have the luxury of engaging themselves in their practice for hours. Digital art fits perfectly into busy lives. Anyone can draw while sitting in an armchair, add colour to a piece on the bus, or refine details during an endless wait at the doctor’s surgery. For those juggling (兼顾) art with everything else life throws at us, this convenience is a game changer. Some people think that digital art is cheating because it makes the process too easy. But let’s be honest. Digital artists might use layers or digital tracing as a starting point, but these tools don’t replace the creativity or skill in composition, colour, perspective. They’re simply modern techniques to achieve the same end — bringing an idea or vision to life. Art is an expression of the human experience. The medium used shouldn’t define the message. Art is art. What matters is the thought and effort behind the work. Digital art doesn’t diminish (削弱) traditional art. Instead, it expands the boundaries of what’s possible. It makes being an artist (amateur or professional) accessible to those who might otherwise feel excluded due to finances, space, or time. Art, at its best, is about connecting the artist with their work and between the work and its audience. 【译文欣赏】 近年来，数字艺术引发了激烈的讨论。作为一名业余艺术家，我认为数字工具并非对传统艺术的威胁，而是为人们打开创意之门的途径。 制作传统艺术所需的材料（优质纸张、画笔和专业级颜料）成本相当高昂。此外，并非人人都有工作室来创作作品或存放干燥后的成品。每当我开始绘画项目时，要么前厅被占得寸寸，要么餐厅餐桌要被闲置数小时甚至数日。相比之下，数字艺术只需一次投资：通过Procreate、Krita、Illustrator或Canva等软件即可实现。任何人都能使用油画颜料或书法笔等工具创作高质量作品，无需承担购置或更换材料的经济负担。对于预算紧张的人来说，这可能成为实现梦想与彻底放弃之间的关键差异。 在现代生活中，工作、家庭和堆积如山的待办事项让许多人无暇投入数小时的创作。数字艺术完美契合快节奏生活——有人能在扶手椅上随手勾勒，有人在公交车上为作品添彩，还有人能在漫长的候诊中完善细节。对于那些既要应付 兼顾 又要兼顾其他事务的人来说，这种便利性堪称生活新体验。 有人认为数字艺术是作弊，因为它让创作过程变得过于简单。但说实在的，数字艺术家或许会用图层或数字描摹作为起点，但这些工具并不能替代构图、色彩、透视方面的创造力和技巧。它们不过是实现相同目标的现代技法——将创意或愿景具象化。 艺术是人类经验的表达。媒介不应定义信息，艺术的本质在于其思想与创作。数字艺术并未削弱（削弱）传统艺术，反而拓展了艺术可能性的边界，让那些因资金、场地或时间限制而被边缘化的艺术家（无论业余或专业）都能参与其中。最优秀的艺术，是艺术家与作品、作品与观众之间心灵的联结。 【词句积累】 1.amateur artist余艺术家 2.digital 数字的 3.creativity 创造力 4.perspective透视 5.techniques 技巧 1.“As an amateur artist, I see digital tools not as a threat to traditional art but as a means of opening the door to creativity for people.作为一名业余艺术家，我认为数字工具并非对传统艺术构成威胁，而是为人们开启了创造力的新大门。 2.“Digital artists might use layers or digital tracing as a starting point, but these tools don’t replace the creativity or skill in composition, colour, perspective.

Through its window, the warm magnesium light still flickers, just as it did tens of years ago. For 44-year-old Wei Wei, this small studio is more than a workplace — it’ s a treasure from his father. Wei’s childhood was closely tied to the studio. His father joined the state-owned studio in 1974. When Wei was little, he often stayed with his father, watching him mix chemicals, load film plates, and take photos with an analog camera (胶片相机). “On busy days, Dad would shoot and print over 100 photos,” Wei remembers. “He took pictures of workers’ smiling faces, children’s curious eyes, and labor models’ proud looks. I was eager to do the same — keep people’s special stories.” As Wei grew up, digital photography became popular, and analog cameras fell out of use. But last year, after his father passed away, Wei decided to take over the studio. To his surprise, more and more tourists have come to the studio, drawn by nostalgia for the old days. Before developing the film, Wei always checks the negatives carefully, following his father’s old methods. He also reminds visitors to bring the film to room temperature first, a small but important detail. Today, the studio’s walls are covered with pictures from different times. These photos not only hold the sweet memories of the people in the town but also see the changes of society. For Wei, running the studio is not just a family trade. It’s a way to keep real stories alive. In a fast-paced digital world, Agan Photo Studio gives people a chance to slow down, treasure the moment, and rediscover the unique charm of analog photography. 1．Why did Wei Wei want to do the same job as his father? A．To help support his family together. B．To carry on the family business as expected. C．To keep meaningful moments in people’s lives. D．To take over a state - owned studio for its survival. 2．What does the underlined word “ nostalgia” in paragraph 3 mean? A．A longing for the sweet past. B．An expectation for better life. C．A curiosity about high technology. D．A dislike for old-fashioned things. 3．What do the photos on the studio’s walls mainly symbolize? A．Attractions for tourists and art lovers. B．A collection of famous local figures. C．Personal memories and social changes. D．The technical progress of photography. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Rise and Fall of Analog Photography B．A 50-Year-Old Photo Studio Keeps Stories Alive C．Wei Wei’s Childhood Memories in a Photo Studio D．Analog Photography Regains Its Popularity Passage2 （25-26高三上·辽宁丹东·期末）A collection of photos published by the New York Times in 2014 encouraged Susan Brown to make a cold call. It wasn’t usually her style, but the pictures delighted her, and she felt an urge to get in touch with the photographer. The photo essay showed intricate details from New England textile factories: a worker removing something from a floral fabric at a carpet company. The photographer was Christopher Payne, and he was New York-based. The images were part of his early attempts into photographing American industries. Brown praised his photos and asked how he’d produced some of the shots; she hoped to someday find the right opportunity to feature his work at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. Payne was happy to connect, knowing museums are particularly choosy in selecting high-caliber art. The occasion to collaborate has come more than a decade later. “Made in America: The Industrial Photography of Christopher Payne” will be exhibited at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum in 2026. The display will feature more than 70 of Payne’s photos. Trained as an architect, Payne taught himself to take photos using design principles, drawing on his ability to visualize three-dimensional spaces on two-dimensional surfaces. This foundational skill allowed him to deconstruct complex industrial scenes into structured compositions. He thought of photos like stages — carefully arranging visual elements within the frame to guide the viewer’s eye, a method he applied to everything from crowded factory floors to intricate machine details. The photo projects he pursued often reflected his love for architecture and design. While working on his 2009 book, Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals, he photographed abandoned hospitals across the country, which seemed to have grand exteriors, but dilapidated interiors. Payne liked the creative challenge of finding beauty and order in places that were traditionally unphotogenic or untidy, and he took pride in creating photos that showed industrial production in unexpected ways. He sought to photograph mass-produced goods, like American flags, as well as modern products, like computer chips. 1．Why did Susan Brown contact Christopher Payne? A．To interview him. B．To exhibit his work. C．To invite him to visit a museum. D．To learn photography skills from him. 2．What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A．Payne’s architectural background defines his photographic eye. B．Payne’s education experience makes him onto a glory stage. C．Payne shows a great talent for art and has a promising future. D．Payne photographs a wide range of subjects to improve himself. 3．What does the underlined word “dilapidated” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Beautifully decorated. B．Well preserved. C．Badly damaged. D．Brightly lit. 4．How does Payne show industrial production? A．By highlighting natural disorder. B．By focusing on modern computer chips. C．By revealing beauty in common products. D．By following traditional photographic techniques. Passage3 （25-26高一上·辽宁葫芦岛·期末）Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was one of the most influential painters of the Post-Impressionist period. His life was filled with endless struggles and deep loneliness: he sold only one painting during his lifetime, relying heavily on his brother Theo for financial and emotional support. Van Gogh was a highly productive creator, producing over 2,100 artworks in just a decade of artistic career, including around 860 oil paintings — most of which were completed in the last two years of his life, a period marked by extreme mental suffering yet unusual creative surge. In the early 1880s, van Gogh’s painting style was dark and gloomy, deeply influenced by his time in the Netherlands, where he focused on realistic scenes of peasant life and the hardship of working-class existence. However, after moving to Paris in 1886, he was exposed to the lively works of Impressionists like Monet and Pissarro, as well as Japanese ukiyo-e (浮世绘) prints. This cultural mix led to a dramatic change in his style: he began using brighter, more lively colors and shorter, energetic brushstrokes, making an effort to capture the passing light and subtle atmospheric features of his subjects. In 1888, van Gogh moved to Arles in southern France, attracted by its warm sunlight and rural landscapes, and hoped to set up an artists’ community. It was here that he painted some of his most famous masterpieces, such as the Sunflowers series and The Night Café. But his weak mental health started to get worse quickly; after a bitter argument with his friend Paul Gauguin, he did the well-known act of cutting off part of his own ear. He spent some time now and then in mental hospitals but never stopped painting. Van Gogh’s art was not widely recognized until after his sad death at 37. Today, his works are praised globally for their emotional strength, striking color contrasts, and unique expressive brushwork, making him one of the most loved and respected artists in art history. 1．What can we infer about van Gogh’s life from the first paragraph? A．His artistic talent was widely acknowledged during his lifetime. B．His brother Theo played a crucial role in his artistic career. C．He created most of his works in the early stage of his career. D．His mental distress prevented him from being productive. 2．What caused the change in van Gogh’s painting style after 1886? A．His move to the Netherlands and focus on peasant life. B．His desire to express the harshness of working-class life. C．His growing interest in using bright lights and shadows. D．His exposure to Impressionist works and Japanese prints. 3．Why is the period in Arles significant for van Gogh’s artistic life? A．He finally gained recognition for his artworks there. B．He developed a friendship with Paul Gauguin there. C．He created some of his most famous masterpieces there. D．He established a successful artists’ colony there. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The life struggles of van Gogh. B．The change of van Gogh’s painting style. C．The influence of van Gogh’s works on art history. D．A brief introduction to van Gogh’s life and art. Passage4 （25-26高二上·河北承德·月考）Born in Xi’an, the eastern starting point of the ancient Silk Road, Xu Wen never imagined that a visit to an English antique shop would tie her to the route’s western end. Two decades ago, she and her British husband, Alastair Blackburn, were immediately attracted by three small, vividly colored, finely detailed paintings. Upon close examination, the couple found they weren’t just ordinary watercolors, as the paper was unique, and the pigments (颜料)seemed mineral-based. They bought the works immediately. These pieces marked the couple’s first encounter with Tongcao painting, or pith painting, which served as a window to 19th-century China, an era without cameras. Tongcao paintings are created on dried pith from a rice paper plant, whose honeycombed texture (纹理) differs sharply from fibrous ordinary paper. This unique material prevents watercolors from sinking in; instead, the paint sits on top, creating a faint three-dimensional effect that modern reproductions struggle to match. Xu later explained that these artworks were like “Eastern postcards” made by Guangzhou craftsmen. When Guangzhou was China’s only port open to Western trade, painters adapted Western styles to describe daily life, festivals, and customs for curious Western merchants. Fascinated by this forgotten chapter of cross-cultural exchange, the couple spent 20 years collecting Tongcao paintings. They searched antique shops and private collections across Europe, eventually amassing over 2,000 pieces showing 19th-century Chinese life and customs. Their passion led them to build a museum in 2023, which was opened in a historical building in Blackburn’s hometown, long recognized as the Silk Road’s western endpoint. “This museum bridges the two ends of the Silk Road,” Xu said. Many Chinese visitors have come and appreciated in person the town’s long history with China through the museum and the way local shops and cultural centers celebrated their ties to the Silk Road. To further promote this heritage, the couple founded the Silk Road Foundation in 2023 and invited students to copy Tongcao works. Xu also cooperated with schools in Xi’ an, hoping to pass on this culture. “These paintings are living history,” she said. “We must make sure they keep telling their stories of East-West connection.” 1．Why are Tongcao paintings different from modern reproductions? A．Their watercolor disappears easily. B．They describe 19th-century Chinese life. C．Their material creates a faint 3D effect. D．They were made for Western merchants. 2．What does the underlined word “amassing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Collecting. B．Selling. C．Displaying. D．Creating. 3．What did Xu Wen and her husband do for Tongcao paintings? A．They sold them to European collectors. B．They built a museum to protect them. C．They taught people to make them in China. D．They studied their origin in Guangzhou. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A．To introduce a new type of painting. B．To encourage people to visit a Silk Road museum. C．To compare Chinese and Western painting styles. D．To praise a couple’s contributions to cultural preservation. Passage5 （25-26高三上·河北石家庄·月考）Cultures, customs, and beliefs vary entirely worldwide. If there’s one thing all cultures have in common, it’s art. And art reflects the human experience and provides insight into its values and beliefs. Art has been a significant part of many cultures for centuries. It has been used to express faith, emotions, personal histories, and special occasions. It can be found in religious ceremonies worldwide. 1 People are using art to add color and meaning to their lives. 2 It allows people to dig into their emotions and then share their tales and emotions with the rest of the world. Whether you’re talking about a painting or sculpture, each allows you to explore and express your inner self. Some of the most impactful art pieces were created centuries ago. 3 The familiar smile and unique charm have become a permanent part of popular culture. Another classic example is The Last Supper also by Da Vinci. This painting conveys the emotion between Jesus and his apostles (传道者) with remarkable accuracy. 4 The digital age has changed the way we perceive artwork. Rather than looking at motionless objects in a museum, virtual reality may transport us to artificial, computer-generated settings with a visually spectacular interactive artwork. 5 These technological advancements have significantly impacted art. The power of art to influence how we live, think, and interact with one another is undeniable. It can transform culture, communication, and expression, providing us with a platform to explore innovative solutions and push the boundaries of what is possible. A．Artwork is an essential part in digital age. B．Exploring your inner self is of vital importance. C．In smaller aspects, it can be seen in people’s daily life. D．Art is a beautiful way to express feelings and thoughts. E．Artists use tools like Photoshop to produce complicated works. F．Even today, it continues to move viewers with its powerful imagery. G．Perhaps none is more celebrated than Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Passage6 （25-26高三上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期末）Art is a universal language that goes beyond cultures and eras. Whether you’re strolling through a museum, browsing a gallery, or simply appreciating a piece of art in a friend’s home, understanding how to view, appreciate, and discuss art can deepen your connection to the work. 1 Here are some questions to help you explore the world of art. What are the key components of art? Artists use some fundamental “building blocks” to create their works. These concepts include lines, color, space, etc. For example, lines can be straight, curved, thick, or thin. 2 They convey movement, direction, and emotion. How does the artist arrange the components? 3 Such instructions help artists organize the elements of art to convey their message and draw a response from the viewer. The next time you enjoy a piece of art, you may ask yourself these questions: What in the piece grabs my attention? Does the work have equal “weight” on each side, or does one area look heavier? What is the context of the piece of art? Understanding the characteristics of different art periods can provide context and deeper appreciation when you are viewing art. Each period has distinct styles, techniques, and themes that reflect cultural, social, and historical background. 4 It is known for its dramatic, emotional intensity, and use of light and shadow. What else may change the artwork’s interpretation? Each person brings their own experiences, emotions, and cultural background to their interpretation of a piece of art. So an artwork is seen differently depending on who is looking at it. 5 A quiet museum, a busy gallery, or a cozy home will all shape how we feel about and understand the same piece. For example, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers feels like a priceless, untouchable masterpiece when you see it in a quiet museum. But a nice print of this same Van Gogh painting in your cozy kitchen just feels like a warm, cheerful addition to your daily life. A．Take the Baroque art for example. B．Art creation follows originality principle. C．This, in turn, enhances your overall experience. D．They can arouse various psychological responses. E．The setting can also affect the viewer’s understanding. F．Certain guidelines are followed to create compositions. G．They can define shapes and create structures or patterns.
