Rural culture can diversify ‘ivory tower’ of art
Whether it's the contemporary art installations rising amidst the wheat fields of Sankui township in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, or the pop art of Butong Art Town in Hebei Province, a growing number of artistic shows and events have recently been unfolding nationwide during the peak summer travel season.
Instead of being presented in the bourgeois cultural spaces of major metropolises, these new art spectacles are taking root in rural towns or smaller Chinese cities. Behind this movement is a new trend: The cultural resources of rural areas are now incubating diverse art events.
Art has long been perceived as a cultural game that matters the most to first-tier cities. Be it in urban museums or galleries, art creations seem to be housed within their own ivory towers, awaiting visitors to approach them while remaining distant from their surrounding environment.
"Even though I work at an art gallery in the CBD, I still feel a disconnect between art and my everyday life," Mandy Liang, a gallery staff member who works in Shanghai and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, told the Global Times.
Compared with the "disconnection" of art in cities, rural towns seem to actually be capable of merging art and everyday life together. The unique cultural fabric of rural areas allows art to emerge through participatory symbiosis.
Take the Sankui township's art show as an example. Its art installations draw inspiration from the local terraced fields. Be it sculptures or photography, they seamlessly integrate into the rural background, allowing spectators to walk in the farmland's wind-rippled wheat waves to experience art.
Such a scene reveals how rural areas' indigenous narratives and landscapes can broaden the inspiration for artistic creation. In other words, it frees art from big-city ivory towers.
China's rural cultures are particularly diverse. These diverse resources make it easy for art activities in various regions to distinguish themselves from one another.
For example, the Palian Art Village in Southwest China's Yunnan Province is known for its art events based on local Dai ethnic folk culture. In Fuliang county, Jiangxi Province, multimedia art and installations create a dialogue with the local tea culture and tea farming tradition. Meanwhile, relying on kite-making craftsmanship, Wangjiazhuangzi village in Shandong Province has established its own art and design competition, engaging modern designers to inherit this folk art.
These examples represent only a small fraction of China's rural art practices, but they clearly show a shifting trend that instead of consuming cultural leftovers from urban centers, Chinese rural areas can feed back into the market's development.
In other words, Chinese rural areas are never an afterthought, they are the main stage of art.
While rural and small-town life brings fresh perspectives to art, hasn't art, in turn, created new opportunities for these areas, especially in boosting local cultural tourism?
Take Sanshan village in Jingde county, Anhui Province for example. Since being designated as one of the first pilot villages for artistic rural construction in September 2021, the area has developed a tourism route integrating an artist community, farming culture corridor and its iconic lotus-viewing attractions. Over the years, local art tourism has attracted nearly 800,000 visitors.
Not far away in the same county, Luxi township has blended artistic events, short theater culture and tea traditions to create a trendy new "tea-art lifestyle." What was once an obscure rural area has now welcomed 45,000 visitors, generating tourism revenue of 4.31 million yuan ($600,000) as of 2024.
The thriving art tourism in rural areas has brought more than just income for villagers, but also can stimulate the internal renewal of a rural area. For instance, the increasing tourist demand naturally creates more employment opportunities for villagers. These sites will also likely attract non-local art talents from other cities and regions. This fluid art demographic can help "sew together" the once big gap between rural areas and metropolitan art-cultural development through their mobile projects and talents.
"The inspiration drawn from rural areas fills a void in urban creative environments," Ma Yi, an artist-in-residence in Yangshuo county, told the Global Times.
He also added that many second- and third-tier cities are now also popular among young artists and thanked them for being "good art platforms." With more than 3,000 works of art on display, the recent Baotou Art Expo serves as a good example. It provides a platform not only for emerging young Chinese artists, but also for creators from Russia, Japan, and other countries.
The essence of artistic intervention in rural areas lies in shattering people's fixed understanding of rural culture. The art-rural dynamic is never a one-way street, but rather a reciprocal exchange.

乡村文化可丰富艺术“象牙塔”
无论是浙江省温州市三魁镇麦田中崛起的当代艺术装置,还是河北省补同艺术小镇的波普艺术,最近在全国夏季旅游旺季期间,越来越多的艺术展览和活动在全国各地展开。
这些新的艺术景观并没有在大都市的资产阶级文化空间中呈现,而是扎根于农村城镇或较小的中国城市。这一运动背后是一个新趋势:农村地区的文化资源正在孵化多样化的艺术活动。
艺术长期以来一直被视为与一线城市关系最密切的文化游戏。无论是城市博物馆还是画廊,艺术创作似乎都被安置在它们自己的象牙塔中,等待游客接近它们,同时与周围环境保持距离。
“尽管我在上海和香港特别行政区的中央商务区的一家画廊工作,我仍然感觉艺术与我的日常生活之间存在脱节,”在上海工作的画廊工作人员梁曼迪告诉《环球时报》。
与城市中艺术的“脱节”相比,农村城镇似乎实际上能够将艺术和日常生活融合在一起。农村地区的独特文化结构允许艺术通过参与性共生出现。
以三魁镇的艺术展览为例。其艺术装置从当地的梯田中汲取灵感。无论是雕塑还是摄影,它们都无缝地融入了农村背景,让观众可以在麦田的微风中漫步,体验艺术。
这样的场景揭示了农村地区的本土叙事和景观如何拓宽艺术创作的灵感。换句话说,它使艺术摆脱了大城市的象牙塔。
中国的农村文化特别多样化。这些多样化的资源使得各个地区的艺术活动能够彼此区分开来。
例如,中国西南云南省的帕莲艺术村以其基于当地傣族民间文化的艺术活动而闻名。在江西省浮梁县,多媒体艺术和装置与当地的茶文化和茶农传统展开了对话。与此同时,依靠风筝制作工艺,山东省王家庄子村建立了自己的艺术和设计竞赛,邀请现代设计师继承这一民间艺术。
这些例子仅代表了中国农村艺术实践的一小部分,但它们清楚地显示了一种转变趋势:中国农村地区不是消费城市中心的文化残羹,而是可以回馈市场的发展。
换句话说,中国农村地区从来不是事后诸葛亮,它们是艺术的主舞台。
虽然农村和小城镇生活为艺术带来了新的视角,但艺术反过来是否也为这些地区创造了新的机会,特别是在促进当地文化旅游方面?
以安徽省景德镇县三山村为例。自2021年9月被指定为首批艺术乡村建设试点村之一以来,该地区已经开发了一条整合艺术家社区、农耕文化走廊及其标志性赏荷景点的旅游路线。多年来,当地的艺术旅游吸引了近80万名游客。
在同一个县不远的地方,卢溪镇将艺术活动、短剧文化和茶传统融合在一起,创造了一种时尚的“茶艺生活方式”。曾经是一个鲜为人知的农村地区,现在已经迎来了4.5万名游客,截至2024年,创造了431万元人民币(约合60万美元)的旅游收入。
农村地区蓬勃发展的艺术旅游不仅为村民带来了收入,还可以刺激农村地区的内部更新。例如,不断增加的游客需求自然为村民创造了更多的就业机会。这些地方也可能会吸引来自其他城市和地区的非本地艺术人才。这种流动的艺术人口可以通过他们的流动项目和才能帮助“弥合”农村地区与大都市艺术文化发展之间曾经存在的巨大差距。
“从农村地区汲取的灵感填补了城市创意环境中的空白,”阳朔县的驻地艺术家马毅告诉《环球时报》。
他还补充说,许多二三线城市现在也受到年轻艺术家的欢迎,并感谢它们是“良好的艺术平台”。最近的包头艺术博览会就是一个很好的例子,展出了3000多件艺术作品。它不仅为新兴的中国年轻艺术家提供了平台,也为来自俄罗斯、日本和其他国家的创作者提供了平台。
艺术干预农村地区的本质在于打破人们对农村文化的固定理解。艺术与农村的动态关系从来不是单向的,而是相互交流。

核心政策背景:“乡村振兴”战略
中国的一项国家战略,旨在全面促进农村产业发展、人才振兴、文化繁荣、生态宜居和生活富裕。
“艺术介入社会”与“打破象牙塔”
全球艺术趋势: 当代艺术的一个重要方向是走出美术馆,深入社区和公共空间,强调与公众的互动和社会参与。文章中的 “participatory symbiosis” (参与式共生) 正是这一思潮的体现。
中国语境下的实践: 这一全球趋势在中国与 “以人民为中心” 的文艺创作导向相结合。文章批评了城市艺术空间的 “disconnect” (脱节) 和 “ivory tower” (象牙塔) 状态,而赞扬了乡村艺术与日常生活的融合,这体现了艺术要服务人民、扎根生活的导向。

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·陕西·期末)Every year the Weifang International Kite Festival amazes visitors and netizens with innovative (创新的) kites, as “paper birds” of unimaginable designs keep appearing in the sky.
This year, 622 kite artists from 59 countries and regions took part in the event. There were a variety of activities, including daylight and night kite shows, a kite flying competition, an exhibition of kite-themed creative artworks and so on.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江苏·期末)Middle school students in Valdosta are learning the importance of agriculture (农业).
Joshua Dawson, a Lowndes County Extension agent, helped seventh grade students at J.L. Newbern Middle School build raised bed plant boxes to grow crops. Dawson’s work with the school gardens began in 2014 as a part of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project. Through support from local businesses and members of the community, it is used to introduce Valdosta elementary and middle school students to gardening and agriculture.
Some of the crops grown in the gardens include sweet potatoes, carrots and so on. The harvested produce is used by the school dining rooms to serve during lunch and students are allowed to take produce home depending on the harvest size.
Members of the local Master Gardener programme are helping Dawson with the gardens. With his daily responsibilities as a County Extension agent, Dawson depends heavily on their support. “Without the Master Gardeners, I don’t know if any of this would be possible. They look after the gardens and work with the teachers closely, and provide necessary feet on the ground for a lot of things,” Dawson said.
In the beginning, the students were worried about working in the garden, but Dawson said those doubts disappeared quickly. “I like watering the plants and working with the soil,” said Anthony Aikens, a seventh grader. Anthony said his favourite subject is science and wants to be a zoologist or a full-time gardener when he grows up.
Dr Elena Ponder, principal of J.L. Newbern Middle School, said many students are interested in this project. She said working in the garden provides students with a cross-curriculum (交叉课程) where they use different skills to solve problems. “Once you plant a garden, you have to attend to that garden. That shows you have the work ethic (职业道德), patience and time to put into something. That will translate into skills they will need in the future jobs,” she said.
1. What does the project aim to do?
A. To encourage students to take responsibility.
B. To let students know more about agriculture.
C. To improve the living conditions of students.
D. To offer students healthy vegetables lunches.
2. How do the Master Gardeners support Joshua Dawson?
A. By introducing him to an expert. B. By taking care of the gardens.
C. By communicating with students. D. By providing farming training.
3. What attitude did the students hold to the project at first?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Hopeful.
4. What does Dr Elena Ponder say about the project for students?
A. It helps them explore interests. B. It makes them value their spare time.
C. It helps them concentrate in class. D. It promotes their future development.
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江苏·月考)Pixar’s movie, Turning Red, is about puberty (青春期). We often think about puberty and the hard things it brings. Our bodies and feelings change in ways that can feel out of our control. Turning Red shows the importance of being true to oneself during this time.
The film tells the story of Mei Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese student. She’s got confidence and enjoys playing with her friends. However, she often hides her true self in front of her protective and strict mother. This all changes when Mei reaches puberty. She starts uncontrollably turning into a big red panda whenever she gets excited. With the help of her friends, Mei learns to be her confident, true self and accept the red panda inside her.
The story is based on the childhood experiences of Domee Shi, the movie director. Those behind Turning Red reminded Asian viewers of their childhood. At the same time, they also wanted to avoid harmful stereotypes (刻板印象). For example, the filmmakers at first were concerned that a straight-A student could make the stereotype about Asian people deeper. However, they reflected on their own experiences. Growing up, they felt pressured to be A-students. They also had to deal with changes in their bodies and relationships. In the end, they decided to keep that in the story.
“We always deal with the writing of these characters from their goals,” says Shi. At the same time, Shi points out that Mei is attracted by this new world, her friends, and everything that the red panda represents. This sudden change in her appearance represents the mess of growing up and all the feelings inside of us that we’re taught at a young age to put away.
Instead of quieting the “red panda” and keeping it inside, Shi wanted teens to accept their “red panda”. She wanted teens not to be ashamed of their feelings. People of all ages can understand Turning Red. “While we may not be becoming the best version of ourselves, it’s our truer version,” she said. “It’s not about being the best you can be,” she explained. “It’s about being you as much as you can.”
1. What is Turning Red mainly about?
A. A special friendship. B. A mother’s reflection.
C. A teenager’s growth. D. A student’s problem.
2. Why was Mei made an A-student at last?
A. To call attention to academic struggles. B. To challenge popular assumption.
C. To share true-life learning experiences. D. To set an example for teenagers.
3. Which may be Domee Shi’s idea about Turning Red?
A. Be brave to express oneself. B. Accept yourself as who you are.
C. Be open to other's criticism. D. Deal with changes more calmly.
4. What is the text?
A. A report. B. A movie review. C. A diary. D. A personal story.

Rural culture can diversify ‘ivory tower’ of art
Whether it's the contemporary art installations rising amidst the wheat fields of Sankui township in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, or the pop art of Butong Art Town in Hebei Province, a growing number of artistic shows and events have recently been unfolding nationwide during the peak summer travel season.
Instead of being presented in the bourgeois cultural spaces of major metropolises, these new art spectacles are taking root in rural towns or smaller Chinese cities. Behind this movement is a new trend: The cultural resources of rural areas are now incubating diverse art events.
Art has long been perceived as a cultural game that matters the most to first-tier cities. Be it in urban museums or galleries, art creations seem to be housed within their own ivory towers, awaiting visitors to approach them while remaining distant from their surrounding environment.
"Even though I work at an art gallery in the CBD, I still feel a disconnect between art and my everyday life," Mandy Liang, a gallery staff member who works in Shanghai and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, told the Global Times.
Compared with the "disconnection" of art in cities, rural towns seem to actually be capable of merging art and everyday life together. The unique cultural fabric of rural areas allows art to emerge through participatory symbiosis.
Take the Sankui township's art show as an example. Its art installations draw inspiration from the local terraced fields. Be it sculptures or photography, they seamlessly integrate into the rural background, allowing spectators to walk in the farmland's wind-rippled wheat waves to experience art.
Such a scene reveals how rural areas' indigenous narratives and landscapes can broaden the inspiration for artistic creation. In other words, it frees art from big-city ivory towers.
China's rural cultures are particularly diverse. These diverse resources make it easy for art activities in various regions to distinguish themselves from one another.
For example, the Palian Art Village in Southwest China's Yunnan Province is known for its art events based on local Dai ethnic folk culture. In Fuliang county, Jiangxi Province, multimedia art and installations create a dialogue with the local tea culture and tea farming tradition. Meanwhile, relying on kite-making craftsmanship, Wangjiazhuangzi village in Shandong Province has established its own art and design competition, engaging modern designers to inherit this folk art.
These examples represent only a small fraction of China's rural art practices, but they clearly show a shifting trend that instead of consuming cultural leftovers from urban centers, Chinese rural areas can feed back into the market's development.
In other words, Chinese rural areas are never an afterthought, they are the main stage of art.
While rural and small-town life brings fresh perspectives to art, hasn't art, in turn, created new opportunities for these areas, especially in boosting local cultural tourism?
Take Sanshan village in Jingde county, Anhui Province for example. Since being designated as one of the first pilot villages for artistic rural construction in September 2021, the area has developed a tourism route integrating an artist community, farming culture corridor and its iconic lotus-viewing attractions. Over the years, local art tourism has attracted nearly 800,000 visitors.
Not far away in the same county, Luxi township has blended artistic events, short theater culture and tea traditions to create a trendy new "tea-art lifestyle." What was once an obscure rural area has now welcomed 45,000 visitors, generating tourism revenue of 4.31 million yuan ($600,000) as of 2024.
The thriving art tourism in rural areas has brought more than just income for villagers, but also can stimulate the internal renewal of a rural area. For instance, the increasing tourist demand naturally creates more employment opportunities for villagers. These sites will also likely attract non-local art talents from other cities and regions. This fluid art demographic can help "sew together" the once big gap between rural areas and metropolitan art-cultural development through their mobile projects and talents.
"The inspiration drawn from rural areas fills a void in urban creative environments," Ma Yi, an artist-in-residence in Yangshuo county, told the Global Times.
He also added that many second- and third-tier cities are now also popular among young artists and thanked them for being "good art platforms." With more than 3,000 works of art on display, the recent Baotou Art Expo serves as a good example. It provides a platform not only for emerging young Chinese artists, but also for creators from Russia, Japan, and other countries.
The essence of artistic intervention in rural areas lies in shattering people's fixed understanding of rural culture. The art-rural dynamic is never a one-way street, but rather a reciprocal exchange.

乡村文化可丰富艺术“象牙塔”
无论是浙江省温州市三魁镇麦田中崛起的当代艺术装置,还是河北省补同艺术小镇的波普艺术,最近在全国夏季旅游旺季期间,越来越多的艺术展览和活动在全国各地展开。
这些新的艺术景观并没有在大都市的资产阶级文化空间中呈现,而是扎根于农村城镇或较小的中国城市。这一运动背后是一个新趋势:农村地区的文化资源正在孵化多样化的艺术活动。
艺术长期以来一直被视为与一线城市关系最密切的文化游戏。无论是城市博物馆还是画廊,艺术创作似乎都被安置在它们自己的象牙塔中,等待游客接近它们,同时与周围环境保持距离。
“尽管我在上海和香港特别行政区的中央商务区的一家画廊工作,我仍然感觉艺术与我的日常生活之间存在脱节,”在上海工作的画廊工作人员梁曼迪告诉《环球时报》。
与城市中艺术的“脱节”相比,农村城镇似乎实际上能够将艺术和日常生活融合在一起。农村地区的独特文化结构允许艺术通过参与性共生出现。
以三魁镇的艺术展览为例。其艺术装置从当地的梯田中汲取灵感。无论是雕塑还是摄影,它们都无缝地融入了农村背景,让观众可以在麦田的微风中漫步,体验艺术。
这样的场景揭示了农村地区的本土叙事和景观如何拓宽艺术创作的灵感。换句话说,它使艺术摆脱了大城市的象牙塔。
中国的农村文化特别多样化。这些多样化的资源使得各个地区的艺术活动能够彼此区分开来。
例如,中国西南云南省的帕莲艺术村以其基于当地傣族民间文化的艺术活动而闻名。在江西省浮梁县,多媒体艺术和装置与当地的茶文化和茶农传统展开了对话。与此同时,依靠风筝制作工艺,山东省王家庄子村建立了自己的艺术和设计竞赛,邀请现代设计师继承这一民间艺术。
这些例子仅代表了中国农村艺术实践的一小部分,但它们清楚地显示了一种转变趋势:中国农村地区不是消费城市中心的文化残羹,而是可以回馈市场的发展。
换句话说,中国农村地区从来不是事后诸葛亮,它们是艺术的主舞台。
虽然农村和小城镇生活为艺术带来了新的视角,但艺术反过来是否也为这些地区创造了新的机会,特别是在促进当地文化旅游方面?
以安徽省景德镇县三山村为例。自2021年9月被指定为首批艺术乡村建设试点村之一以来,该地区已经开发了一条整合艺术家社区、农耕文化走廊及其标志性赏荷景点的旅游路线。多年来,当地的艺术旅游吸引了近80万名游客。
在同一个县不远的地方,卢溪镇将艺术活动、短剧文化和茶传统融合在一起,创造了一种时尚的“茶艺生活方式”。曾经是一个鲜为人知的农村地区,现在已经迎来了4.5万名游客,截至2024年,创造了431万元人民币(约合60万美元)的旅游收入。
农村地区蓬勃发展的艺术旅游不仅为村民带来了收入,还可以刺激农村地区的内部更新。例如,不断增加的游客需求自然为村民创造了更多的就业机会。这些地方也可能会吸引来自其他城市和地区的非本地艺术人才。这种流动的艺术人口可以通过他们的流动项目和才能帮助“弥合”农村地区与大都市艺术文化发展之间曾经存在的巨大差距。
“从农村地区汲取的灵感填补了城市创意环境中的空白,”阳朔县的驻地艺术家马毅告诉《环球时报》。
他还补充说,许多二三线城市现在也受到年轻艺术家的欢迎,并感谢它们是“良好的艺术平台”。最近的包头艺术博览会就是一个很好的例子,展出了3000多件艺术作品。它不仅为新兴的中国年轻艺术家提供了平台,也为来自俄罗斯、日本和其他国家的创作者提供了平台。
艺术干预农村地区的本质在于打破人们对农村文化的固定理解。艺术与农村的动态关系从来不是单向的,而是相互交流。

核心政策背景:“乡村振兴”战略
中国的一项国家战略,旨在全面促进农村产业发展、人才振兴、文化繁荣、生态宜居和生活富裕。
“艺术介入社会”与“打破象牙塔”
全球艺术趋势: 当代艺术的一个重要方向是走出美术馆,深入社区和公共空间,强调与公众的互动和社会参与。文章中的 “participatory symbiosis” (参与式共生) 正是这一思潮的体现。
中国语境下的实践: 这一全球趋势在中国与 “以人民为中心” 的文艺创作导向相结合。文章批评了城市艺术空间的 “disconnect” (脱节) 和 “ivory tower” (象牙塔) 状态,而赞扬了乡村艺术与日常生活的融合,这体现了艺术要服务人民、扎根生活的导向。

Another giant kite, a whale, had to be flown by a team of a dozen men.
Many kites contained elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. The 50-meter-long kite of a phoenix was something special, together with the seventh fairy from Chinese legend.
Some people said the flying objects at the 40th Weifang International Kite Festival reminded them of the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, but they were hundreds of times bigger in scale and crazier.
Compared with the past festivals, this year’s event was highlighted (突出) by many innovations by both experienced and young kite makers.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江苏·期末)Middle school students in Valdosta are learning the importance of agriculture (农业).
Joshua Dawson, a Lowndes County Extension agent, helped seventh grade students at J.L. Newbern Middle School build raised bed plant boxes to grow crops. Dawson’s work with the school gardens began in 2014 as a part of the Valdosta School Garden and Orchard Project. Through support from local businesses and members of the community, it is used to introduce Valdosta elementary and middle school students to gardening and agriculture.
Some of the crops grown in the gardens include sweet potatoes, carrots and so on. The harvested produce is used by the school dining rooms to serve during lunch and students are allowed to take produce home depending on the harvest size.
Members of the local Master Gardener programme are helping Dawson with the gardens. With his daily responsibilities as a County Extension agent, Dawson depends heavily on their support. “Without the Master Gardeners, I don’t know if any of this would be possible. They look after the gardens and work with the teachers closely, and provide necessary feet on the ground for a lot of things,” Dawson said.
In the beginning, the students were worried about working in the garden, but Dawson said those doubts disappeared quickly. “I like watering the plants and working with the soil,” said Anthony Aikens, a seventh grader. Anthony said his favourite subject is science and wants to be a zoologist or a full-time gardener when he grows up.
Dr Elena Ponder, principal of J.L. Newbern Middle School, said many students are interested in this project. She said working in the garden provides students with a cross-curriculum (交叉课程) where they use different skills to solve problems. “Once you plant a garden, you have to attend to that garden. That shows you have the work ethic (职业道德), patience and time to put into something. That will translate into skills they will need in the future jobs,” she said.
1. What does the project aim to do?
A. To encourage students to take responsibility.
B. To let students know more about agriculture.
C. To improve the living conditions of students.
D. To offer students healthy vegetables lunches.
2. How do the Master Gardeners support Joshua Dawson?
A. By introducing him to an expert. B. By taking care of the gardens.
C. By communicating with students. D. By providing farming training.
3. What attitude did the students hold to the project at first?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Hopeful.
4. What does Dr Elena Ponder say about the project for students?
A. It helps them explore interests. B. It makes them value their spare time.
C. It helps them concentrate in class. D. It promotes their future development.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个旨在让学生更多地了解园艺和农业的项目。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Through support from local businesses and members of the community, it is used to introduce Valdosta elementary and middle school students to gardening and agriculture.(通过当地企业及社区成员的大力支持,该项目被用于向瓦尔多斯塔的小学和初中学生普及园艺和农业知识)”可知,这个项目是为了让学生对园艺和农业有更多了解。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段““They look after the gardens and work with the teachers closely, and provide necessary feet on the ground for a lot of things,” Dawson said.(道森说:“他们负责打理花园,并与教师密切合作,为许多事务提供了实际的执行力量。”)”可知,Master Gardeners帮助Joshua Dawson打理菜园。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In the beginning, the students were worried about working in the garden, but Dawson said those doubts disappeared quickly.(起初,学生们对于在园子里劳作有些担心,但道森说这些顾虑很快就消失了)”可知,学生起初对这个项目是持怀疑态度的。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段““That shows you have the work ethic (职业道德), patience and time to put into something. That will translate into skills they will need in the future jobs,” she said.( 她说:“这表明你具备敬业精神、耐心以及投入时间去做事的能力。这些品质将转化为你在未来工作中所需具备的技能。”)”可知,Dr Elena Ponder认为这个项目对学生未来的发展有好处。故选D。
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江苏·月考)Pixar’s movie, Turning Red, is about puberty (青春期). We often think about puberty and the hard things it brings. Our bodies and feelings change in ways that can feel out of our control. Turning Red shows the importance of being true to oneself during this time.
The film tells the story of Mei Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese student. She’s got confidence and enjoys playing with her friends. However, she often hides her true self in front of her protective and strict mother. This all changes when Mei reaches puberty. She starts uncontrollably turning into a big red panda whenever she gets excited. With the help of her friends, Mei learns to be her confident, true self and accept the red panda inside her.
The story is based on the childhood experiences of Domee Shi, the movie director. Those behind Turning Red reminded Asian viewers of their childhood. At the same time, they also wanted to avoid harmful stereotypes (刻板印象). For example, the filmmakers at first were concerned that a straight-A student could make the stereotype about Asian people deeper. However, they reflected on their own experiences. Growing up, they felt pressured to be A-students. They also had to deal with changes in their bodies and relationships. In the end, they decided to keep that in the story.
“We always deal with the writing of these characters from their goals,” says Shi. At the same time, Shi points out that Mei is attracted by this new world, her friends, and everything that the red panda represents. This sudden change in her appearance represents the mess of growing up and all the feelings inside of us that we’re taught at a young age to put away.
Instead of quieting the “red panda” and keeping it inside, Shi wanted teens to accept their “red panda”. She wanted teens not to be ashamed of their feelings. People of all ages can understand Turning Red. “While we may not be becoming the best version of ourselves, it’s our truer version,” she said. “It’s not about being the best you can be,” she explained. “It’s about being you as much as you can.”
1. What is Turning Red mainly about?
A. A special friendship. B. A mother’s reflection.
C. A teenager’s growth. D. A student’s problem.
2. Why was Mei made an A-student at last?
A. To call attention to academic struggles. B. To challenge popular assumption.
C. To share true-life learning experiences. D. To set an example for teenagers.
3. Which may be Domee Shi’s idea about Turning Red?
A. Be brave to express oneself. B. Accept yourself as who you are.
C. Be open to other's criticism. D. Deal with changes more calmly.
4. What is the text?
A. A report. B. A movie review. C. A diary. D. A personal story.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了剪纸艺术家Leong Koon Meng。
1.考查形容词。句意:技术进步已将像中国剪纸这样的传统艺术形式推向了夕阳产业的边缘。这里修饰名词“art forms”,用形容词,“tradition”的形容词形式是“traditional”,意为“传统的”。故填traditional。
2.考查副词。句意:然而,对于Leong Koon Meng来说,机器永远无法复制手工艺术品的魅力。前文提到技术进步使传统剪纸艺术面临困境,后文表明机器无法复制手工艺术品魅力,前后为转折关系,“however” 意为“然而”,表转折,且用逗号与句子隔开。首字母大写。故填However。
3.考查定冠词。句意:这就是这位 64 岁退休教师让这一传统延续下去的最大动力。形容词最高级“biggest”前需用定冠词the。故填the。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:这就是这位 64 岁退休教师让这一传统延续下去的最大动力。“in” 是介词,后接动名词,“keep”的动名词形式是“keeping”。故填keeping。
5.考查名词复数。句意:Leong 说:“机器制造的艺术品永远无法达到相同的效果。它很少有独特之处。” Leong 是这一存在了 1500 多年的古老艺术形式仅存的几位艺术家之一。“one of + 名词复数” 表示“…… 之一”,“artist”的复数形式是“artists”。故填artists。
6.考查定语从句关系代词。句意:Leong 说:“机器制造的艺术品永远无法达到相同的效果。它很少有独特之处。” Leong 是这一存在了 1500 多年的古老艺术形式仅存的几位艺术家之一。此句为定语从句,先行词是“this ancient art form”,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,可用“that”或 “which”引导。故填that/which。
7.考查固定搭配。句意:作为一名名副其实的真正艺术家,这位两个孩子的母亲选择手工创作她的艺术作品,她认为这是真正领略剪纸艺术魅力的唯一途径。“choose to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“选择做某事”。故填to create。
8.考查副词。句意:Leong 说:“如今,剪纸主要是为节日和春节等特殊场合创作的。现代机器能在几分钟内生产出成千上万的剪纸,因此这项技艺多年来逐渐失传。”这里修饰动词“created”,用副词作状语,“main”的副词形式是“mainly”,意为“主要地”。故填mainly。
9.考查时态。句意:11 年前,Leong 在中国参加一个艺术课程时,首次发现自己对这门艺术的热爱。根据“11 years ago” 可知,描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,“discover”的过去式是“discovered”。故填discovered。
10.考查名词。句意:Leong 说:“要真正掌握剪纸艺术,首先必须理解基本技巧的重要性。从那开始,灵感、创造力和热爱将引导艺术家创作出真正的杰作。”“the”后接名词,“important” 的名词形式是“importance”,意为“重要性”作宾语。故填importance。

The fourth season of Clarkson’s Farm premiered (首播) on May 3 on Amazon Prime Video. ____2____. It even scored a stunning (惊人的) 9.6 on Douban with all three previous seasons.
____3____. But in this series, he takes on something completely different: running a 405-hectare farm in West Oxfordshire, UK, a job he had zero experience with. But perhaps it was his bold personality or deep pockets (雄厚财力) that led him to chase a countryside dream.
That dream, however, quickly turned into a funny story of mistakes. ____4____. For example, his sheep’s main hobby appears to be escaping the fence and running onto roads. Chaos is a daily routine.
Clarkson doesn’t hold back when criticizing the British government, either. In one episode, he complains that a couch he ordered in 2023 won’t arrive until 2028 because UK delivery services are quite slow. In another, he talked about farming subsidies (补贴), saying, “You have to fill out 2,000 forms and wait 2,000 years, only to be told you did it wrong.” ____5____.
A. It’s more than just a farming show
B. He often says, “This is the best job in the world.”
C. His animals often seem determined to ruin his plans

(如果你正在寻找今年不容错过的精彩节目,那么《克拉克森的农场》第四季肯定应该位列你的首选之列。)”推荐《克拉克森的农场》第四季,后文“it’s a wildly entertaining, laugh-out-loud documentary that continues to win hearts with its honest look at rural life (这是一部极具娱乐性、令人捧腹大笑的纪录片,它以对乡村生活的诚实地呈现方式,继续赢得了观众的心)”解释为什么推荐该片,空处应是一个概括性的评价,且能与破折号后的内容衔接,因此A项“It’s more than just a farming show (这不只是一档农场节目)”符合语境,承前启后,其中的It指代前文的Clarkson’s Farm Season 4。故选A。
2.前文“The fourth season of Clarkson’s Farm premiered (首播) on May 3 on Amazon Prime Video. (《克拉克森的农场》的第四季于5月3日在亚马逊Prime Video上线首播。)”介绍第四季播出时间,后文“It even scored a stunning (惊人的) 9.6 on Douban with all three previous seasons. (它在豆瓣上的评分甚至高达 9.6 分,此前的每一季也是如此。)”指出前三季评分很高,空处应提到前几季很受欢迎,因此D项“The show first came out in 2021 and has since become a global hit (该节目2021年首播,此后成为全球热门)”符合语境,承前启后。故选D。

4.前文“That dream, however, quickly turned into a funny story of mistakes. (然而,那个梦想很快却变成了一个充满错误的滑稽故事。)”表明克拉克森经营农场并不顺利,后文“For example, his sheep’s main hobby appears to be escaping the fence and running onto roads. Chaos is a daily routine. (例如,他的羊群的主要“爱好”似乎是逃出围栏并跑到公路上。混乱成了每天的常态。)”举例羊群逃跑,空处应是一个总述句,指出动物们经常搞破坏,因此C项“His animals often seem determined to ruin his plans (他的那些动物常常似乎执意要破坏他的计划)”符合语境,承接前文,后文的例子是对其支撑说明。故选C。
5.前文“In one episode, he complains that a couch he ordered in 2023 won’t arrive until 2028 because UK delivery services are quite slow. In another, he talked about farming subsidies (补贴), saying, “You have to fill out 2,000 forms and wait 2,000 years, only to be told you did it wrong.” (在其中一集中,他抱怨自己在2023年订购的沙发要到2028年才能送达,因为英国的快递服务速度太慢。在另一集中,他谈到了农业补贴问题,说道:“你得填写2000份表格,还要等待2000年,结果却被告知做错了。”)”给出克拉克森批评政府的两个幽默例子,空处应对他的评论做一个总结或点明意义,因此F项“His comments, though humorous, also reflect the real problems many farmers face (他的评论虽然幽默,但也反映了许多农民面临的实际问题)”符合语境,承接前文。故选F。
