A
Ancient Art Exhibitions of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Arts of Africa
“African” describes arts of Africa from 500 BC to the present. The Museum's African art collection features masks, statues, headdresses, cloths, and objects from a variety of regions, cultures, and countries. The most famous one is a metal head of a king from the Court of Benin. Many artworks were created to strengthen the position and power of the rulers, or to symbolize position. Others honor ancestors.
Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia
The arts include those from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and other South Pacific Islands that make up a region once called “Oceania”. The ocean has shaped these peoples and their art. Many works were made from wood and plants, and decorated with paint, feathers, and shells. Valuable objects were also carved from stone.
Glassell Collection of Ancient America
Gold played an important role in ancient Central and South America. Ancient Americans valued gold for its spiritual power. Gold was considered to be part of the sun and had its energy. This collection is without equal in the world.
Glassell Collection of Africa
From ancient times, gold was a symbol of wealth and power, and gold artworks were highly prized. The west coast of Africa was rich in gold. Chiefs used gold works to prove power and respect, and to promote political unity. The Glassell Collection of African Gold is considered the finest of its kind in the world, and it is the largest collection of African gold in an American museum.
21. Which stands out in Arts of Africa's collection?
A. An ancient mask. B. A metal head.
C. A unique stone object. D. A beautiful headdress.
22. What's a character of the works from Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia?
A. They were influenced by the ocean.
B. They were owned by ancient rulers.
C. They shaped Oceanian people's life.
D. They were specially decorated for different purposes.
23. What do the works of Glassell Collection of Ancient America and Glassell Collection of Africa have in common?

B. They stand for the highest level of art.
C. They feature fine artworks containing gold.
D. They show respect for the ancestors.
B[2025广东五校期末联考]
The “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Yet it became famous not because of the semismile, but a thief. It remained unknown until a worker stole it in 1911 and crowds flooded in to see what newspapers called “a shocking empty space” left behind.
Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book Written in Water, the “timeless classic” is anything but timeless. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written_in_water,” she argues. Classics come and go.
The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. In the past, artists aimed to capture perfect beauty. They learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures. But this changed when people saw real ancient Greek sculptures from the Parthenon(帕特农神庙). Unlike the clean, perfect Roman copies everyone knew, these were worn and damaged by time. Suddenly, the “perfect” beauty looked fake compared to these real ancient pieces. This discovery made artists question everything they knew about classical art.
The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century, Italian painter Giorgio Vasari praised Raphael and Michelangelo's realistic style as the highest art form. But in the 19th century, critic John Ruskin changed minds by saying true “Old Masters” were actually medieval(中世纪的) religious painters, inspiring the PreRaphaelite movement. Now, when we see today's “masterpieces” selling for millions at auction(拍卖), it makes you wonder: what will future critics think of them?
We call some artworks “classics”, but do we really understand why? Taste evolves, and it should. But what happens to our culture when people stop arguing over what counts as a classic? Ms Gurstein makes it clear: we need to rethink those famous “masterpieces” in museums.
24. By mentioning “Mona Lisa” in paragraph 1, what does the author intend to do?
A. Highlight her mysterious smile.
B. Show classics win fame by chance.
C. Recognize her as a world classic.
D. Inform readers of the 1911 art theft.
25. What does the phrase “written in water” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Easily forgotten. B. Perfectly preserved.
C. Written in special ink. D. Created near the water.
26. What does the text suggest about today's expensive “masterpieces”?
A. They will become invaluable.
B. They will stand the test of time.
C. Their artistic value is uncertain.
D. Their beauty will become fake.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is True Beauty Timeless?
B. Can Theft Create Masterpieces?
C. Is There Such a Thing as a Classic?
D. Do Critics Influence Art's Value?
C
Famous works of art are under threat in several ways. Lots of artworks have fallen victim to wars. Natural disasters have also destroyed much of our cultural heritage. Besides, pollution and climate change are putting many works of art at risk. Despite our best efforts, only a small number of famous works of art have managed to survive the test of time. And this is where technology comes in.
A major issue with preserving works of art is their constant exposure to air pollutants. To solve the problem, art preservers have been employing the artificial nose. It was initially developed by Kenneth Suslick, a researcher at the University of Illinois, for biomedical purposes. Combined with the technology of electricity and light, the artificial nose has the ability to sniff out pollutants in the air before they can damage the artwork.
Surveyors around the globe are creating 3D databases to preserve artworks and sites in digital form. In Syria, a French 3D digitization agency called Iconem has launched a project called Syrian Heritage to preserve local endangered structures and sites. The Iconem team use drones(无人机) to conduct photographic surveys of the area and then use photogrammetry to process and connect the stream of photographs to construct 3D versions. These versions offer a clear view of endangered sites and allow people to virtually visit and interact with select sections of each site.
Noninvasive techniques like Xrays can collect valuable data about famous works of art. AI can then use this data to understand patterns, which can be used to restore or recreate images that have been lost forever. For instance, when Rembrandt van Rijn's The Night Watch was moved to another location, it was unintentionally shortened. Now researchers have used AI to reconstruct the painting. Similarly, three of Gustav Klimt's paintings that were lost in a 1945 fire were recreated with the help of AI.
As mentioned earlier, despite our best efforts, only a small number of artworks from the past make it to the future. But thanks to technological breakthroughs, we have a better shot at increasing that number.
28. What can the artificial nose do to protect artworks?
A. Detect air pollutants for them.
B. Stop them from exposure to air.
C. Analyze their biomedical elements.
D. Combine it with electricity and light.
29. What does paragraph 3 focus on?
A. Why photos are collected for the database.
B. Why Iconem has launched Syrian Heritage.
C. How artworks are preserved in digital form.
D. How 3D technology is created for artworks.
30. Why is Rembrandt van Rijn's The Night Watch mentioned?
A. To show how it was shortened.
B. To stress it shouldn't be moved.
C. To reveal the magic function of AI.
D. To explain the importance of Xrays.
31. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text?
A. 3D Database Is Linked with Life
B. Technology Is Saving Artworks
C. AI Can Create Fantastic Artworks
D. Only a Few Artworks Stand the Time
D[2025济宁邹城期中]
“Woman, reading a book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator's Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I've described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation(生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like toprank artwork using just a few text prompts(提示词). But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn't have any creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children's illustrators(插图画家) were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AIgenerated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is all about translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it is about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are purposely meant to copy the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others' work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn't do the same—it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists. There's already a negative view towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their AIgenerated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It's nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
32. How does the author find his AIgenerated image?
A. Unsatisfying. B. Amazing.
C. Original. D. Creative.
33. What do children's illustrators value most about art?
A. The application of technology.
B. The quality of final works.
C. The different forms of artworks.
D. The process of creating works.
34. What is the main advantage of human artists compared with AI generators?
A. The ability to generate new ideas.
B. The speed of finishing a work.
C. The adaptability of various styles.
D. The access to external resources.
35. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. AI will add value to the work of artists.
B. Mobile phones have too many functions.
C. AIgenerated works can't match human creations.
D. Professionals will depend on AI to produce works.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions. Typical journaling involves only writing. __36__ And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it's a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives.
The focus on selfexpression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook. A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting. __37__
Art journaling is a way to practice selfcare. It encourages you to take a little time for yourself—even if it's just for 15 minutes a day. When you look back at what you've written or drawn, you can gain valuable view into the challenges in your life. The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece. __38__ Remember, it's just for you!
Art journaling is completely customizable(可定制的) depending on your skills and interests. Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials. __39__
The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book. __40__ Size is one. If you enjoy making large drawings, for instance, then a bigger book might be best. Art journals look great when you fill the page, so whatever size you choose, make sure it combines well with the way you like to work. Another factor to think about is the type of pages in the book. Since it's a good chance you'll be using mixed media, select a book whose paper can handle both drawing and painting.
A. Also, you become aware of your style.
B. This way, you'll save not only your money, but also your nerves.
C. But it doesn't have to include imagery that relates to your inner thoughts.
D. Others prefer sticking with a single medium that they're comfortable with.
E. There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book.
F. But for those who are more visuallyminded, an art journal is a great alternative.
G. You simply need to enjoy the act of creating something without worrying about if it looks good.

I loved art from a young age. However, growing up in the countryside, I had few __41__ to explore art on account of limited resources. My father, a high school teacher, played a(n) __42__ role in developing my interest. He often said, “Art is a way to express your heart.” On weekends, he'd bring home art books, sitting beside me to turn the pages and explain different painting styles.
I spent childhood playing in the school yard, __43__ myself in those books in my father's office, and drawing fanciful scenes on classroom blackboards. There was little entertaining __44__ but he always provided chalks, making even the simplest materials become keys to my creativity. I began with blackboards, and later, the sunlit playground under the open sky gradually __45__ my vast canvas(画布).
At elementary school, art classes—__46__ reviewing basic shapes—couldn't satisfy my hunger. I taught myself by tirelessly copying picture stories, analyzing how lines and colors told tales. My father noticed my efforts and gently __47__, “Copying improves skills, but observing life breathes soul into art.” When I was ten, he took me to __48__ a visit to his art teacher, an artist. “Observe real __49__—how light dances on their surfaces, and how textures(纹理) whisper stories,” the artist instructed.
As he spoke, he skillfully drew my father's __50__. Watching each line take shape, I was amazed at how observation changed reality into art. This experience deeply impressed me with an important __51__: true art comes from seeing, not just copying. In the mid1990s, my paintings were __52__ in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Winning __53__ and awards, I realized every stroke(笔触) is a reflection of my father's guidance—a silent yet __54__ force that had shaped my artistic journey. His influence remains the __55__ of my career, a gift more precious than any praise.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jenny was a quiet 15yearold girl who loved painting more than anything else. Every afternoon after school, she would hurry to her small attic room and paint for hours. Her sketchbook was filled with beautiful drawings—fields of sunflowers, rainy city streets, and smiling faces. But Jenny never showed her works to anyone except her best friend Lily.
When Ms Wilson, the art teacher, announced the annual school art contest, all the students got excited. The winner's painting would be displayed in the town's Youth Art Gallery for a whole month. “You have to enter!” Lily said excitedly. “Your sunflower painting is perfect for this!” Jenny shook her head nervously. “What if people laugh at my work? What if I fail?”
For days, Jenny watched as her classmates prepared their contest entries. Some painted colorful abstract designs, and others created realistic portraits. Jenny's sketchbook remained closed. Then one rainy afternoon, as she walked home from school, she noticed an old man painting by the riverbank. His watercolors flowed freely across the paper, imperfect but full of life.
“May I watch?” Jenny asked shyly. The old man smiled. “Of course! Art should be shared, not hidden away.” He pointed to her backpack where her sketchbook peeked out. “You're an artist too, I see.” Jenny hesitated, and then slowly showed him her sunflower painting. “It's … not very good,” she murmured.
The old man studied it carefully. “This painting speaks with honesty,” he said finally. “That's what makes it special.” His words stayed with Jenny all evening. The next morning, she carefully rolled up her sunflower painting and handed it to Ms Wilson just before the contest deadline.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

A
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了休斯敦美术馆古代艺术展,包括四个不同的主题:非洲艺术、太平洋岛屿和澳大利亚艺术、格拉塞尔古美洲收藏、格拉塞尔非洲收藏。
21. 细节理解题。根据Arts of Africa部分中“The most famous one is a metal head of a king from the Court of Benin.”可知,在非洲艺术收藏中最著名的是贝宁王国国王的金属头像。
22. 细节理解题。根据Arts of the Pacific Islands and Australia部分中“The ocean has shaped these peoples and their art.”可知,太平洋岛屿和澳大利亚的艺术作品受到了海洋的影响。
23. 推理判断题。根据Glassell Collection of Ancient America部分中“Ancient Americans valued gold for its spiritual power.”和“This collection is without equal in the world.”可知,古美洲人崇尚黄金的精神,故其藏品具有黄金特色,且这组藏品无与伦比,应是很精致的;而Glassell Collection of Africa部分中“The Glassell Collection of African Gold is considered the finest of its kind in the world, and it is the largest collection of African gold in an American museum.”同样提及了该藏品是黄金收藏。由此可推知,两个主题的作品的共同点是都以含有黄金的精美艺术品为特色。
B
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨艺术经典并非永恒,其兴衰受多种因素影响,人们需重新审视经典。
24. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The ‘Mona Lisa’ is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Yet it became famous not because of the semismile, but a thief.”可知,作者提及《蒙娜丽莎》是为了说明经典的成名可能带有偶然性,并非完全取决于其本身的艺术价值。
25. 词义猜测题。根据画线短语下文“Classics come and go.”可知,经典来了又去,由此可知,written in water在这里的意思是经典并非永恒存在,而是像写在水上的字一样容易消失、被遗忘。
26. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Now, when we see today's ‘masterpieces’ selling for millions at auction, it makes you wonder: what will future critics think of them?”可知,如今昂贵的“杰作”的艺术价值是不确定的,未来可能会有不同的评价。
27. 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Classics come and go.”以及最后一段中“We call some artworks ‘classics’, but do we really understand why? Taste evolves, and it should. But what happens to our culture when people stop arguing over what counts as a classic?”可知,文章主要围绕“是否存在真正的经典”这一话题展开,探讨经典的兴衰和人们对经典的认知变化。因此,C项“经典是否存在?”适合作为本文标题。
C
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍几种保护艺术品的科学技术。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Combined with the technology of electricity and light, the artificial nose has the ability to sniff out pollutants in the air before they can damage the artwork.”可知,人工鼻可以检测对艺术品有害的空气污染物。
29. 段落大意题。根据第三段中“The Iconem team use drones to conduct photographic surveys of the area and then use photogrammetry to process and connect the stream of photographs to construct 3D versions. These versions offer a clear view of endangered sites and allow people to virtually visit and interact with select sections of each site.”以及本段上文可知,本段主要讲艺术品是如何以数字形式保存的,并举了法国3D数字机构Iconem启动项目保护濒危文化遗产的例子。
30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“AI can then use this data to understand patterns, which can be used to restore or recreate images that have been lost forever. For instance, when Rembrandt van Rijn's The Night Watch was moved to another location, it was unintentionally shortened. Now researchers have used AI to reconstruct the painting.”可知,人工智能可以用来恢复或重建本永远丢失的图像,接着提到伦勃朗的《夜巡》是为了揭示人工智能的这一神奇功能。
31. 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段内容可知,文章主要介绍几种保护艺术品的科学技术,所以B项“科技正在拯救艺术品”最适合做文章标题。
D
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕AI图像生成技术的特点及其对艺术创作的影响展开,探讨了其局限性及对艺术家作品价值的潜在威胁。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn't have any creative satisfaction.”可知,作者描述了AI生成图像的奇怪之处,且虽然他对图像的生成感到兴奋,但并未获得创作上的满足感。由此推知,他对AI生成的图像并不满意。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They say AIgenerated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is all about translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it is about the final piece.”可知,儿童插画家认为,艺术的本质在于将内心感受转化为外部表达,真正的艺术更注重创作过程而非最终作品。
34. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, a human artist is also adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn't do the same—it can only copy.”可知,人类艺术家在创作中会加入情感和细节,而AI只能复制已有内容,缺乏创造性和情感。由此可知,人类艺术家的优势在于能够产生新想法并赋予作品独特的情感。
35. 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“People will begin to think that their AIgenerated ‘work’ is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It's nonsense, of course.”可知,作者认为部分人觉得自己用AI生成的东西可以媲美艺术大师的杰作的这一观点是无稽之谈。由此可知,作者可能同意“AI生成的作品无法与人类创作相媲美”的观点。
第二节
36—40 FCGDE
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何将绘画和写作相结合,创造出独具个人特色的艺术日记。
36. 上文“Typical journaling involves only writing.”指出传统日记的局限性;下文“And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it's a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives.”指出艺术日记的优势。由此可知,空处应引出艺术日记。F项“不过对视觉型用户来说,艺术日记是个绝佳的替代选择”承上启下,符合语境。
37. 上文“A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting.”是对本段首句“The focus on selfexpression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook.”说明的不同之处的具体解释。C项“但其中并不一定要包含与内心想法相关的意象”承接上文,符合语境,其中“it doesn't have to include”呼应本段第一句中的“an art journal differs from a sketchbook”,说明了写生簿和艺术日记的不同之处;inner thoughts呼应selfexpression。
38. 上文“The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece.”说明写视觉型日记的目的并非让每一页都成为杰作,空处应补充其真正意图。G项“你只需享受创造的过程,不必在意作品是否美观”承接上文,符合语境。
39. 上文“Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials.”说许多人选择使用混合媒介,用绘画材料装饰页面,空处应与之构成并列关系。D项“另一些人则更倾向于坚持使用自己用着顺手的单一媒介”承接上文,符合语境,其中Others和上文Many people并列;a single medium与上文mixed media呼应,空处和上一句具体说明了艺术日记可根据个人技艺和喜好量身定制。
40. 上文“The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book.”说写艺术日记时,最关键的是选一个合适的本子;下文“Size is one. If you enjoy making large drawings, for instance, then a bigger book might be best … Another factor to think about is the type of pages in the book.”具体介绍了选择本子时候的两个考虑因素:尺寸和内页类型。E项“挑选日记本时需要考虑很多因素”承上启下,符合语境。

第一节 One possible version:
Wandering_in_the_World_of_Art
Last Sunday morning, our school organized a visit to an art exhibition in the City Cultural Centre.
At 9 a.m., the students gathered at the gate, looking forward to what they would enjoy. As soon as they entered, they were attracted by the artistic atmosphere which led them to explore the whole new world. With the help of the staff in the centre, they learned the unknown stories behind each exhibited painting.
Through this trip, they not only appreciated the beauty of different types of paintings but also gained a better insight into art creation.
第二节 One possible version:
The_day_of_the_exhibition_arrived,_and_Jenny_stood_nervously_in_front_of_her_sunflower_painting_when_some_visitors_stopped_with_great_interest. A little girl smiled and pointed at her artwork. “Mommy, look! The sunflowers look so happy!” she exclaimed. An elderly lady said, “This reminds me of my childhood garden.” Ms Wilson, noticing the crowd, came over and whispered, “See? Your art speaks to people's hearts.” Jenny felt her cheeks grow warm as more visitors gathered around her painting. She realized that sharing her work wasn't about being perfect—it was about connecting with others.
Two_weeks_later,_Jenny_was_cleaning_her_brushes_when_Ms_Wilson_happily_came_looking_for_her_with_an_envelope_in__hand. “This came for you from the gallery,” she said, her eyes twinkling. Inside was a letter inviting Jenny to display three more paintings in a special student exhibition. That afternoon, Jenny rushed to the riverbank to tell the old man the news and they celebrated it cheerfully together. It's true that art should be shared rather than hidden away. Jenny knew then that she would never hide her art again.

W: I don't know whether that huge boring thing can be a symbol of our city.
M: But opening an amusement park means we will no longer have any peace and quiet.
W: I don't think so. To me it can be entertaining and more importantly the amusement park means employment.
M: So what?
W: It sure is good for the development of our city.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to your first weekend painting class. My name is Kevin, and I will be your teacher for the next 12 weeks. I know you are from all walks of life, and for most of you, this is your first time painting, or even your first time doing anything artistic. Don't worry. This course is designed to teach you the basics of drawing. In the first two weeks, you will get familiar with some very important drawing techniques, as well as understand how to use the equipment. On week three, I will start giving you weekly homework, so you can improve outside of these classes. It's entirely your choice to complete the homework or not. It is not a course requirement, but obviously, it will really help you progress. After week eight, you have to submit a final piece of work. This artwork will require a lot of experimentation. After the twelfth week, we will hold an exhibition at a local gallery, which both you and your family are welcome to attend.
