You have probably seen many cartoons during your life. Some of these cartoons appear in newspapers and others are in books. Others are seen in full-length movies and TV shows. Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art?
Works of art are made by artists for a certain purpose. Usually, works of art are made by people to illustrate an idea or show part of a story. You can probably think of many famous works of art, like the Mona Lisa or David. These works of art took a long time to create. The people who made them wanted to show an important idea about the subject of their art. When people think of works of art, they usually think of paintings or sculptures that are known to even people who know little about art. Year after year, people come to look at the Mona Lisa’s strange smile. The sculpture David is similar—a lot of people know the story of how David fought a giant. The sculpture shows David as a hero. Since most of us wish we were heroes, David interests us no matter who we are.
Cartoons can be seen in the same way, since many people who draw cartoons go to art school and study how to create pictures and stories. They think carefully about what ideas or stories they want to show with their work. Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums, too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet. Cartoons talk about ideas that are important to people in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Most people do not need to stare at a cartoon for a long time to understand its meaning.
However, not everyone agrees with the idea that cartoons are art. For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues, such as political (政治的) cartoons that appear in newspapers. They show an important news item of the day. However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art.
1.Why do some people think cartoons are not works of art?
A.Because they think cartoons take longer time to create.
B.Because they think cartoons don’t have deep meanings.
C.Because they think cartoons aren’t for people of all ages.
D.Because they think some cartoons have no lasting value
2.What does the underlined word “advantage” mean in this passage?
A.Something better. B.Something worse.
C.Something equal. D.Something similar.
3.What can most possibly be the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce the steps of how cartoon artists create their works.
B.To show different opinions on whether cartoons are works of art.
C.To explain why people prefer artworks like paintings to cartoons.
D.To share the reasons why cartoons are thought of as works of art.
4.The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _________.
This makes it possible for cartoons to reach more people than most traditional art forms.
A.Paragraph 1 B.Paragraph 2 C.Paragraph 3 D.Paragraph 4
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是议论文。主要围绕“卡通是否属于艺术品”这一话题展开论述,既阐述了支持卡通为艺术品的观点,也说明了部分人认为卡通不属于艺术品的理由。
1.细节理解题。根据“For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues... However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art”可知,部分人认为卡通不是艺术品的原因之一是有些卡通只涉及近期事件,缺乏持久价值,多年后人们可能因不了解相关背景而无法理解其含义;且有人认为卡通制作时间短。故选D。
2.词句猜测题。根据“People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet”可知,人们需前往博物馆才能看到著名艺术品,而卡通在报纸或互联网上就能轻易看到,这体现了卡通相较于博物馆艺术品的“优势”。“advantage”应表示“更好的事物、优势”,与“Something better”含义一致。故选A。
3.主旨大意题。文章第一段提出核心问题“Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art?”;第二段介绍艺术品的定义和特点;第三段阐述支持卡通为艺术品的理由;第四段说明反对卡通为艺术品的观点。由此可知,文章的核心目的是呈现关于“卡通是否为艺术品”的不同观点。故选B。
4.推理判断题。题干句子“This makes it possible for cartoons to reach more people than most traditional art forms”中的“this”应指代前文提到的“卡通易于获取”的特点。第三段提到“Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums, too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet”,该内容正是“卡通易于获取”的体现,与题干句子构成逻辑衔接,使得其能接触到更多人。故选C。

You have probably seen many cartoons during your life. Some of these cartoons appear in newspapers and others are in books. Others are seen in full-length movies and TV shows. Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art?
Works of art are made by artists for a certain purpose. Usually, works of art are made by people to illustrate an idea or show part of a story. You can probably think of many famous works of art, like the Mona Lisa or David. These works of art took a long time to create. The people who made them wanted to show an important idea about the subject of their art. When people think of works of art, they usually think of paintings or sculptures that are known to even people who know little about art. Year after year, people come to look at the Mona Lisa’s strange smile. The sculpture David is similar—a lot of people know the story of how David fought a giant. The sculpture shows David as a hero. Since most of us wish we were heroes, David interests us no matter who we are.
Cartoons can be seen in the same way, since many people who draw cartoons go to art school and study how to create pictures and stories. They think carefully about what ideas or stories they want to show with their work. Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums, too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet. Cartoons talk about ideas that are important to people in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Most people do not need to stare at a cartoon for a long time to understand its meaning.
However, not everyone agrees with the idea that cartoons are art. For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues, such as political (政治的) cartoons that appear in newspapers. They show an important news item of the day. However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art.
1.Why do some people think cartoons are not works of art?
A.Because they think cartoons take longer time to create.
B.Because they think cartoons don’t have deep meanings.
C.Because they think cartoons aren’t for people of all ages.
D.Because they think some cartoons have no lasting value
2.What does the underlined word “advantage” mean in this passage?
A.Something better. B.Something worse.
C.Something equal. D.Something similar.
3.What can most possibly be the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce the steps of how cartoon artists create their works.
B.To show different opinions on whether cartoons are works of art.
C.To explain why people prefer artworks like paintings to cartoons.
D.To share the reasons why cartoons are thought of as works of art.
