However, this can’t be further from the truth! Anyone can come to enjoy art with a little bit of time and effort. Understand the historical context of the time when the art was produced. Artists often create works to express their opinion on big historical events, and this can give you a window into their perspectives. Find out the type of the painting. If you’re looking at a painting, knowing what type it is in can be helpful. Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece. In the art movements, certain ways of creating art became very popular. An art “school” is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same area, who all have a similar style or subject matter. Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist might have made certain choices. Read up on the life and perspective of the artist. Learning a bit about the artist who created a piece can help people understand it in different ways. It can help you understand why artists made certain artistic decisions, or chose to make the work at all in the first place. Learn when the piece was produced. Art museums typically have informational signs next to each work that will provide basic information about the piece. Knowing when a piece of artwork was created can help you know the difficulty the artist had in making it. Offer your own understanding of what the art means. Part of the fun of viewing art is that you get to come up with your own story about it! Art is influenced by one’s own opinion, so even if your understanding of a piece isn’t exactly what the artist meant, it’s okay! There is often not just one right answer. What’s important is that you really make efforts to get meaning from the works. 1. Why did art often seem unreachable according to Paragraph 1? A. It needed too much effort to enjoy. B. It was hard to understand for common people. C. It was only made for special people. D. It was thought to be reachable to only educated or wealthy people. 2. The underlined word “perspectives” in Paragraph 2 refers to people’s ________. A. learning schools B. points of view C. drawing styles D. dream jobs 3. What can we know about an art “school”? A. It includes artists with a similar style. B. It comes from the art movements. C. It helps an artist make correct choices. D. It helps understand the historical events. 4. What’s part of the fun of viewing art according to the last paragraph? A. Creating the art of your own. B. Becoming a talent for enjoying art. C. Explaining art with your own story. D. Understanding exactly what the artist meant. 【参考答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. C 【导语】本文旨在阐述艺术欣赏的普及性和方法，并鼓励读者根据自己的理解和感受来诠释艺术作品的意义，强调艺术欣赏的趣味性和主观性。 1. 细节理解题。根据“Art could often seem unreachable because it had always been considered as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy.”可知，艺术被认为只属于受过教育或富有的人，因此普通人觉得难以触及。故选D。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“Artists often create works to express their opinion on big historical events, and this can give you a window into their perspectives.”可知，艺术家经常创作作品来表达他们对重大历史事件的看法，这可以让你了解他们的观点。因此，划线词意为“观点”，与“points of view”同义。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据“An art ‘school’ is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same area, who all have a similar style or subject matter.”可知，一个艺术“流派”基本上只是一群艺术家，有时都在同一个地区，他们都有相似的风格或主题。因此，我们可以了解到一个艺术“流派”包括风格相似的艺术家。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据“Offer your own understanding of what the art means. Part of the fun of viewing art is that you get to come up with your own story about it!”可知，给出你对艺术意义的自己的理解。观看艺术的一部分乐趣在于，你可以为它编出自己的故事！因此，观看艺术的乐趣之一是“用自己的故事来解释艺术”。故选C。 重点词汇梳理 consider /kənˈsɪdə(r)/ v. 认为，考虑 context /ˈkɒntekst/ n. 文本，上下文 movement /ˈmuːvmənt/ n. 运动，转动 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第一句） Art could often seem unreachable because it had always been considered as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy. 译文：艺术往往看似遥不可及，因为它一直被视为只有受过教育或家境优渥的人才能欣赏的事物。 分析：句子主干为 Art could often seem unreachable。because it had always been considered as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy 是原因状语从句，解释艺术看似遥不可及的原因；该状语从句中，that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy 是定语从句，修饰先行词 something，限定 “能被欣赏” 的主体范围。 原句2：（第四段第三句）An art “school” is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same area, who all have a similar style or subject matter. 译文：艺术 “流派” 本质上就是一群艺术家的集合，他们有时身处同一地域，却有着相似的创作风格或题材。 分析：主干为 An art “school” is basically just a group of artists；sometimes all in the same area 是插入语，补充说明艺术家的地域特征；who all have a similar style or subject matter 是定语从句，修饰先行词 artists，明确艺术流派的核心特征。 译文 艺术往往看似遥不可及，因为它一直被视为只有受过教育或家境优渥的人才能欣赏的事物。然而，这与事实大相径庭！只要投入些许时间和精力，任何人都能学会欣赏艺术。 了解艺术作品诞生时的历史背景。艺术家创作作品往往是为了表达自己对重大历史事件的看法，而这能为你打开一扇了解他们视角的窗口。 弄清画作的类型。如果你正在欣赏一幅画，知晓它所属的类型会大有裨益。 了解影响这件作品的艺术运动或艺术流派。在艺术运动中，某些艺术创作方式会变得极为流行。艺术 “流派” 本质上就是一群艺术家的集合，他们有时身处同一地域，却有着相似的创作风格或题材。稍加了解这些内容，就能帮你明白艺术家为何会做出某些创作选择。 研读创作者的生平与视角。了解创作这件作品的艺术家的相关情况，能让人们从不同维度理解作品。这有助于你明白艺术家为何会做出特定的艺术决策，或是当初为何选择创作这件作品。 明确作品的创作时间。艺术博物馆通常会在每件作品旁设置信息牌，提供作品的基本信息。了解艺术作品的创作时间，能让你知晓艺术家在创作过程中面临的困难。 阐述你对作品内涵的个人理解。欣赏艺术的乐趣之一，就是你可以为它构建属于自己的故事！艺术会受个人观点的影响，因此即便你对作品的理解与艺术家的初衷不尽相同，也无需在意。艺术的解读往往没有唯一的标准答案，重要的是你真正用心去从作品中挖掘意义。 Passage B（自贡灯会） Zigong, in Sichuan Province, is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition (展览) requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial, a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1. What pushes for the rapid development of the Zigong Lantern Festival? A. Its long history. B. Its national intangible heritage title. C. Its popularity all over the world. D. Traditional culture and modern technologies. 2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Holography is a kind of traditional technology. B. Zigong lanterns are different from the lanterns in other places. C. It’s easy for makers to complete a huge lantern for exhibition. D. People usually show the theme of Zigong lanterns in a single way. 3. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Zigong lanterns. B. People in Zigong. C. The makers of Zigong lanterns. D. The themes of Zigong lanterns. 4. Which is the right structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph1, ②=Paragraph 2...) A. B. C. D. 【参考答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了四川自贡灯会的历史起源、制作工艺、主题特色与全球传播，展现了这一国家级非物质文化遗产如何结合传统与现代技术，成为中国文化走向世界的闪亮名片。 1. 细节理解题。根据“The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies.”可知，传统文化和现代技术推动自贡灯会的快速发展。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据“Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements.”可知，与其他地方的灯笼不同，自贡灯笼运用了人工智能、机械工程和全息摄影术等现代技术，是灯光、声音与动态的完美结合。故选B。 3. 词句猜测题。根据“Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.”可知，自贡灯笼越来越受欢迎。在全市的共同努力下，它们已传播到80多个国家，此处they指的是“自贡灯笼”。故选A。 4. 篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第一段总起，介绍自贡彩灯的地位、历史与文化价值；第二段讲制作工艺与现代科技（分论点1）；第三段讲主题多样性与文化内涵（分论点2）；第四段介绍了政府的大力支持以及人们对自贡灯笼前景的展望。所以本文是“总—分—总”结构。故选A。 重点词汇梳理 dynasty /ˈdɪnəsti/ n. 王朝，朝代 rapidly /'ræpɪdlɪ/ adv. 迅速地 intangible /ɪnˈtændʒəbl/ adj. 无形的 combination /ˌkɒmbɪˈneɪʃn/ n. 结合，组合 collective /kəˈlektɪv/ adj. 集体的 mechanical /məˈkænɪkl/ adj. 机械的，机动的 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第五句） In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage, becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. 译文：2008 年，自贡灯会被列入国家级非物质文化遗产，成为中国文化走向世界的一张闪亮名片。 分析：句子主干为 the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage。In 2008 是时间状语；becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world 是现在分词短语作结果状语，说明被列入非遗后带来的影响；其中 to go out into the world 是不定式短语作后置定语，修饰 name card。 原句2：（第二段第四句）Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography. 译文：与其他地方的彩灯不同，自贡彩灯运用了人工智能、机械工程和全息摄影术等现代技术。 分析：句子主干为 Zigong lanterns use modern technologies。Unlike the lanterns in other places 是介词短语作比较状语，突出自贡彩灯的独特性；such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography 是举例说明，补充说明 “现代技术” 的具体类型。 译文 四川自贡是中国彩灯之乡。自贡彩灯被誉为 “天下第一灯”。自贡灯会的历史可以追溯到唐代。这一节日在传统文化与现代科技的融合中迅速发展。2008 年，自贡灯会被列入国家级非物质文化遗产，成为中国文化走向世界的一张闪亮名片。 “制作一盏用于展览的大型彩灯需要 17 道工序，” 自贡彩灯制作传承人万松涛说，“每一道工序都由团队完成，而非单个匠人。” 例如，万松涛团队制作的 “日晷” 彩灯，就动用了约 80 名匠人，耗时 50 多天才完成整个流程。与其他地方的彩灯不同，自贡彩灯运用了人工智能、机械工程和全息摄影术等现代技术，是光、声、动的完美结合。 此外，彩灯的主题可以通过多种方式选定。“任何能在彩灯上设计的元素都能打造出精彩的展览，我们鼓励每个人把自己的想法变成实实在在的作品，” 中国彩灯博物馆的首席研究员张方来说道。而自贡彩灯丰富的主题，也展现了当地人民发自内心的创造力与温暖精神。 政府鼓励当地民众广泛学习彩灯制作技艺。毫无疑问，自贡灯会成功的核心，在于当地齐心协力的传统。自贡彩灯正变得越来越受欢迎，在整座城市的集体努力推动下，它们已经走向了全球 80 多个国家。人们相信，未来自贡彩灯必将抵达世界的每一个角落。 话题写作佳句积累 1.

However, this can’t be further from the truth! Anyone can come to enjoy art with a little bit of time and effort. Understand the historical context of the time when the art was produced. Artists often create works to express their opinion on big historical events, and this can give you a window into their perspectives. Find out the type of the painting. If you’re looking at a painting, knowing what type it is in can be helpful. Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece. In the art movements, certain ways of creating art became very popular. An art “school” is basically just a group of artists, sometimes all in the same area, who all have a similar style or subject matter. Knowing a little bit about these can help you understand why an artist might have made certain choices. Read up on the life and perspective of the artist. Learning a bit about the artist who created a piece can help people understand it in different ways. It can help you understand why artists made certain artistic decisions, or chose to make the work at all in the first place. Learn when the piece was produced. Art museums typically have informational signs next to each work that will provide basic information about the piece. Knowing when a piece of artwork was created can help you know the difficulty the artist had in making it. Offer your own understanding of what the art means. Part of the fun of viewing art is that you get to come up with your own story about it! Art is influenced by one’s own opinion, so even if your understanding of a piece isn’t exactly what the artist meant, it’s okay! There is often not just one right answer. What’s important is that you really make efforts to get meaning from the works. 1. Why did art often seem unreachable according to Paragraph 1? A. It needed too much effort to enjoy. B. It was hard to understand for common people. C. It was only made for special people. D. It was thought to be reachable to only educated or wealthy people. 2. The underlined word “perspectives” in Paragraph 2 refers to people’s ________. A. learning schools B. points of view C. drawing styles D. dream jobs 3. What can we know about an art “school”? A.

What’s part of the fun of viewing art according to the last paragraph? A. Creating the art of your own. B. Becoming a talent for enjoying art. C. Explaining art with your own story. D.

Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition (展览) requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial, a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering, and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1. What pushes for the rapid development of the Zigong Lantern Festival? A. Its long history. B. Its national intangible heritage title. C. Its popularity all over the world. D. Traditional culture and modern technologies. 2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Holography is a kind of traditional technology. B. Zigong lanterns are different from the lanterns in other places. C. It’s easy for makers to complete a huge lantern for exhibition. D. People usually show the theme of Zigong lanterns in a single way. 3. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Zigong lanterns. B. People in Zigong. C. The makers of Zigong lanterns. D. The themes of Zigong lanterns. 4. Which is the right structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph1, ②=Paragraph 2...) A. B. C.

It is a type of Hanfu, the traditional style of clothing of the Han people. It is now getting so popular that some people wear it daily. On March 6th, a Douyin report showed that the orders for horse-face skirts went up by 841 per cent compared to the past year. As Hanfu becomes popular, traditional and modern fashions are coming together. This has influenced not only clothing styles but also people’s cultural ideas.

She pointed out that for those who don’t know much about traditional clothing, it’s understandable that they want to mix ancient beauty and modern fashion. This is known as the Neo-Chinese style. “Neo-Chinese style clothing doesn’t only use traditional elements. It puts together modernity and tradition naturally,” said Zhou. She added that it shows how traditional beauty continues to be valued by Chinese people today. “I’ve noticed that there are so many people wearing horse-face skirts on the streets now, from young women to children.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan, where it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. 1 In Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, it has developed into different styles. However, the handmade oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. 2 People there make umbrellas from skin paper (皮纸), bamboo and a coating of tung oil (桐油). It needs more than 70 steps to make an oil paper umbrella. Making bamboo ribs, pasting paper (糊纸) and painting patterns are the most important. 3 A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. 4 As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started using a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed 1,000 times without breaking. He also used special bamboo to make the umbrellas lighter. 5 He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to promote (推广) the art. A. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. B. They were turned into decorative artworks. C. It takes at least a week to make an umbrella. D. Many students are good at making Liu’s umbrellas. E. Later oil paper umbrellas spread to other Asian countries. F.

Passage 3 For many Chinese people, the Lantern Festival means an end to two weeks of the lunar New Year. But for the folk artist, Wang De, it’s the busiest time to show his special fireworks—dashuhua. Dashuhua means “creating tree flowers” and it has a long history of over 500 years. It’s a traditional kind of fireworks show. The most famous dashuhua show is held in Nuanquan Town of Yu County, Zhangjiakou. To create the special fireworks, Wang needs to melt scrap iron (熔化铁屑) to 1,600℃ and throw it against a cold wall. Then people can enjoy the beautiful fireworks. Wang puts on a lot of dashuhua shows for local people and tourists as a part of the Spring Festival activities each year. Wang hopes the tradition can bring more tourists to his hometown. It’s dangerous to give a dashuhua show. The artists may get hurt easily when they are giving shows. During a show a few years ago, Wang’s leg was badly hurt and it took him two months to get well. But Wang is brave and still keeps the tradition. According to local reports, there are only four people in China who can do the show well and three of them are not young. “I learned to create the fireworks from my father. When I was young, I thought it was exciting. But years later, I think I’m responsible for passing it on,” he says. 1. Where is the most famous dashuhua show? A. In Langfang. B. In Zhangjiakou. C.
