(2025·河北承德高二下学期月考)
If the other paintings in the room that houses Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris could talk,they might be whispering“Good riddance(解脱)!”to one another right now.That's owing to the French government's announcement that the world's most famous painting is to be removed from the Salle des Etats and rehoused in its own space in the Louvre with a dedicated entrance.
This particular space,accessible independently from the rest of the museum,will allow Mona Lisa's conditions of exhibition,presentation and interpretation it deserves.The move that aims to relieve the Louvre's overcrowding problem isn't just great for Mona Lisa.It could also allow the dozens of other artworks in the Salle des Etats by the likes of Titian,Tintoretto and Veronese to finally receive their due.
“People have just been coming to check their‘I paid a visit to Mona Lisa's box’,”said Souleymane,a professor of French and philosophy at Columbia University who was appointed by the museum in 2024 to give a series of lectures about its art collection.“And even if you go to that room with the intention of looking at the other paintings,you would be distracted by Mona Lisa.”The other major paintings in the space include Titian's Pastoral Concert,Tintoretto's The Coronation of the Virgin,and Veronese's The Wedding Feast at Cana,which is a huge painting that people don't look at because it's on the wall that faces Mona Lisa.
“The Wedding Feast at Cana is one of the treasures of the Louvre,”said Compagnon,a professor at the College de France and at Columbia University.Compagnon is also excited for visitors to be able to pay attention to his favorite painting in the room,Titian's Man with a Glove.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国政府宣布将世界著名画作《蒙娜丽莎》从卢浮宫的大画廊(Salle des Etats)移至卢浮宫内的一个独立空间,并为其设置专用入口。
1.Why is Mona Lisa being moved to a new space in the Louvre?

B.To make it convenient for experts to study it.
C.To improve its exhibition conditions and reduce overcrowding.
D.To highlight its importance as the world's most famous artwork.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“This particular space,accessible independently from the...isn't just great for Mona Lisa.”可知,将《蒙娜丽莎》移到新空间是为了改善它的展览条件,并缓解卢浮宫的拥挤状况。故选C。
2.What is Souleymane's attitude towards the government's announcement?
A.Doubtful. B.Approving.
C.Cooperative. D.Dismissive.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段“People have just been coming to check their...you would be distracted by Mona Lisa.”可知,苏莱曼认为之前人们因为《蒙娜丽莎》而忽略了其他画作,而将《蒙娜丽莎》移走能让其他画作得到关注,由此可推知,他对政府的这一宣布是持赞同态度的。故选B。
3.Which of the following paintings is exhibited opposite to Mona Lisa?
A.Pastoral Concert.
B.The Coronation of the Virgin.
C.The Wedding Feast at Cana.

A.It deserves better protection.
B.It fails to live up to its fame.
C.It should be promoted through lectures.
D.It takes visitors' attention away from other exhibits.

(2025·浙江嘉兴八校联考)
Chinese painting,or Guohua,is a centuries-old art form that weaves together ink,brushstrokes(笔触),and deep philosophical insights.Rooted in ancient traditions,it focuses on“Xie Yi”and“Yi Jing”.Its goal is to capture the essence of a subject rather than its physical appearance,inviting viewers to engage with the artist's inner world.
The tools of Chinese painting are as symbolic as the art itself.Xuan paper,known for its absorbency,and ink sticks rubbed on ink stones produce varying tones of black.Brushes,crafted from animal hair,allow artists to create strokes ranging from bold and forceful to whisper-thin.These materials,alongside mineral pigments(颜料)like lapis lazuli(for blue)and cinnabar(for red),form the“Four Treasures of the Study”,reflecting the harmony between nature and human creativity.
Styles in Chinese painting are divided into two main types:Gongbi and Xieyi.Gongbi,or detailed painting,requires great care,using fine lines and bright colors to show royal scenes or birds and flowers.Xieyi,or freehand painting,focuses on natural expression and emotion,often seen in landscapes that use ink washes to create misty mountains or flowing rivers.
Subjects in Chinese painting mirror cultural values.Landscapes dominate,symbolizing humanity's connection to nature and Taoist principles of harmony.Bird-and-flower paintings use symbols like plum blossoms and bamboo to convey moral virtues.Figure painting,from Tang Dynasty court portraits to Zhang Zeduan's Along the River During the Qingming Festival,captures historical narratives and daily life.
In the 20th century,artists like Qi Baishi changed traditional styles by mixing ink painting with Western ideas.He painted shrimp with smooth,lively brushstrokes that make them look alive.Wu Guanzhong tried new ways to paint landscapes with ink,while today's artists even mix Chinese calligraphy with computer art.However,Chinese painting still acts as a bridge connecting old and new—like a poetic picture that shows the heart of Chinese culture in every brushstroke.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国画的工具材料、艺术风格、题材内涵及现当代发展,强调其以“写意”和“意境”为核心的美学理念,以及贯穿古今的文化哲学价值。
5.What is the main function of Xuan paper in Chinese painting according to the passage?
A.It is the only symbol of Chinese painting.
B.It is used to store ink sticks and ink stones.
C.It helps to create bold and forceful brush marks.
D.Its water-absorbing ability enables the creation of different black shades.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Xuan paper,known for its absorbency,and ink sticks rubbed on ink stones produce varying tones of black.”可知,宣纸的吸水性是实现墨色层次的关键。故选D。
6.What distinguishes Xieyi painting from Gongbi?
A.Focus on details painting.
B.Emphasis on emotional expression.
C.Inclusion of historical figures.
D.Use of fine lines and bright colors.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,写意画与工笔画的主要区别在于前者更注重情感表达而非精细描绘。故选B。
7.Why does the author mention Qi Baishi and Wu Guanzhong?
A.To compare them with ancient painters.
B.To explain the decline of ink painting.
C.To show how traditions develop.
D.To criticize modern art trends.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the 20th century,artists like Qi Baishi changed...today's artists even mix Chinese calligraphy with computer art.”可知,齐白石将水墨画与西方理念相融合,吴冠中用笔墨探索山水画的新表现方式,两人均在传统基础上创新。由此可推知,作者是以他们这样的艺术家为例说明传统的演进。故选C项。
8.What is the central theme of the passage?
A.Exploring Chinese painting's cultural and philosophical roots.
B.Comparing artistic tools in Chinese and Western painting.
C.Debating the significance of ink versus color.
D.Introducing famous masters of Chinese painting.
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中“Chinese painting,or Guohua,is a centuries-old art form that weaves together ink,brushstrokes(笔触),and deep philosophical insights.Rooted in ancient traditions,it focuses on‘Xie Yi’and‘Yi Jing’.”可知,文章通过工具材料、艺术风格、题材内涵及现当代发展四个维度,系统阐述了中国画如何承载哲学思想与文化价值,因此A项“探索中国画的文化和哲学根源。”是其核心主题。故选A。
