Passage 5 （24-25高二下·广东揭阳·期中）The following 4 famous paintings — from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece — have stood the test of time. The Amolfini Portrait Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties. The Starry Night Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint–Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works. The Harvesters The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919. Guernica Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 28．Which of the following paintings was produced earliest? A．Guernica. B．The Harvesters. C．The Starry Night. D．The Amolfini Portrait. 29．Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons? A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh. C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso. 30．What do we know about the painting The Starry Night? A．It was painted on wood in oils. B．It described the painter’s life in hospital. C．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941. D．It was given away to the museum by a collector. 主题01 人与社会 —— 文旅探索与文化体验 Passage 1 （23-24高二下·广东省茂名市化州市·期中）Hope to have a cultural trip?

Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. 13．What is the advantage of travelling in spring?

Passage 2 （24-25·广东省江门市培英高级中学·期中）In a growing number of schools, educators believe that having students take part by starting with practical problems is a great motivator. Project-based learning that freely crosses disciplines provides an education superior to the traditional “maths at age nine, history at ten, literature at eleven” structure. Examples of projects applicable to the here and now are as follows: Soil Superheroes Project King Middle School, Maine African Wildlife DNA Project High Tech High, California Seventh graders learn about soil bacteria (细菌) by creating multimedia information brochures. They consult professional microbiologists and cartoonists, conduct research, and then distribute their works to local garden centers and flower shops. An eleventh grade biology class uses DNA to help protect African wildlife. The students share their findings with wildlife-protection officials and have traveled to Tanzania to lead bushmeat-identification workshops. Water Wheel Project Ferry way School, Massachusetts Bridge Project Kentucky Elementary School, Ohio Fifth-graders explore history, science, technology, and engineering by designing their own water wheels. By the time they visit the nearby Saugus Iron Works, which dates back to the 1640s, they’ve already tested and mastered the centuries-old technology. Students conduct surveys, do research, build models and take field trips with the goal of determining the best kind of new bridge to build over the Ohio River. Students don’t restrict themselves to one discipline but rather look into maths, literature, history, science — whatever is appropriate to the study. 16．What is the characteristic of project-based learning? A．Following strict disciplines. B．Engaging in real-world issues. C．Starting subjects at different ages. D．Adopting teacher-centered class modes. 17．Which project includes a field trip to a historic site? A．Soil Superheroes Project. B．African Wildlife DNA Project. C．Water Wheel Project.

Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one. Can children go to all theatres? Most shows are suitable for people aged 12 or older. Some productions might have material that is too mature for younger theatregoers. However, there are also fantastic family shows which are appropriate for all ages, or which are specifically aimed at kids. Are children booster seats available? Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats-for example, Nederlander theatres rent height-adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Some venues will also have height restrictions so that audience sitting behind you can still see. Are there frequent breaks throughout the duration of a performance? If it’s a show for a general audience, there will usually be one or two intervals based on the running time. Most shows designed specifically for younger audiences will have short running times, like an hour or less. Can I bring my own snacks and drinks into the theatre? Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit. If you have concerns about dietary requirements, you can contact the theatre beforehand to make arrangements. Find all the latest recommendations and more information about the rules on Telegraph Tickets, or check with the box office. 22．Where is the text probably from? A．A theatre guide. B．A drama review. C．A show advertisement. D．A performance schedule. 23．Which best describes booster seats? A．Found in every theatre. B．Provided free of charge. C．Required by safety rules. D．Offered in limited number. 24．What are the theatres’ concerns behind their food policies? A．Financial gain. B．Food safety. C．Cleaning cost. D．Audience experience. 【答案】22．A 23．D 24．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是关于伦敦剧院的常见问题解答。 22．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Read the FAQ to make your family theatre trip a pleasant one.(阅读常见问题解答，让你的家庭剧院之旅愉快)”以及后文对伦敦剧院各种常见问题的详细解答可知，文章旨在为去剧院的人提供相关信息和指导。“A theatre guide(剧院指南)”符合文章的性质和用途。B项“A drama review(戏剧评论)”主要是对戏剧内容、表演等方面进行评价；C项“A show advertisement(演出广告)”侧重于宣传演出；D项“A performance schedule(演出时间表)”主要呈现演出的时间安排，均不符合文章内容。故选A项。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some theatres, though not all, provide booster seats for example, Nederlander theatres rent height adjustable seats for £1 if you ask a member of staff. They are available on a first come, first served basis.(一些剧院，并非所有剧院，提供增高座椅。例如，如果你向工作人员提出要求，Nederlander剧院会以1英镑的价格出租可调节高度的座椅。这些座椅是先到先得的)”可知，并不是每个剧院都有增高座椅，且是收费出租的，也未提及是安全规则要求的，而先到先得，说明数量是有限的。故选D项。 24．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Most theatres won’t allow you to bring your own snacks and drinks. They sell food and drink in the theatre and that’s part of how they bring in profit.(大多数剧院不允许你自带零食和饮料。他们在剧院内出售食品和饮料，这是他们盈利的一部分)”可知，剧院的饮食政策是为了获得经济收益。故选A项。 Passage 4 （24-25高三上·广东深圳·期末）Qatar offers a diverse mix of attractions, from peaceful nature spots to lively city centers.

The Amolfini Portrait Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties. The Starry Night Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint–Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works. The Harvesters The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919. Guernica Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title ‘Guernica’ refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 28．Which of the following paintings was produced earliest? A．Guernica. B．The Harvesters. C．The Starry Night. D．The Amolfini Portrait. 29．Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons? A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh. C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso. 30．What do we know about the painting The Starry Night? A．It was painted on wood in oils. B．It described the painter’s life in hospital. C．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941. D．It was given away to the museum by a collector. 【答案】28．D 29．A 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四幅经受住了时间考验的著名画作。 28．细节理解题。根据The Amolfini Portrait部分“Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434(扬・凡・艾克的《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》，一幅创作于1434年的木板油画)”；The Starry Night部分“Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas (帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint–Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890.(文森特・梵高在1889年至1890年期间，于法国圣雷米德普罗旺斯附近的精神病院里待了12个月，在此期间，他创作了《星夜》这幅布面油画。这是一幅适度抽象的风景画，描绘了一个小山坡村庄上方富有表现力的夜空)”；The Harvesters部分“The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.(收获者》是一幅由老彼得・勃鲁盖尔于1565年完成的木板油画)”；Guernica部分“Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937.(格尔尼卡》，一幅大型黑白油画，是由立体派西班牙画家巴勃罗・毕加索于1937年创作的)”。对比创作时间可知，《阿尔诺芬尼夫妇像》创作时间最早。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据The Harvesters部分 “The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September.(《收获者》是一幅由老彼得・勃鲁盖尔于 1565 年完成的木板油画。它描绘了最常出现在八月和九月的收获时节)”可知，是老彼得・勃鲁盖尔创作了这幅描绘收获季节的画作。故选A。 30．细节理解题。根据The Starry Night部分中的描述，“When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.(1941年，当纽约现代艺术博物馆从一位私人收藏家手中购买这幅画时，它并不出名，但后来却成了梵高最著名的作品之一)”可知，The Starry Night在1941年之前并未被广泛认可。故选C。 主题01 人与社会 —— 文旅探索与文化体验 Passage 1 （23-24高二下·广东省茂名市化州市·期中）Hope to have a cultural trip?

Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip.

Project-based learning that freely crosses disciplines provides an education superior to the traditional “maths at age nine, history at ten, literature at eleven” structure. Examples of projects applicable to the here and now are as follows: Soil Superheroes Project King Middle School, Maine African Wildlife DNA Project High Tech High, California Seventh graders learn about soil bacteria (细菌) by creating multimedia information brochures. They consult professional microbiologists and cartoonists, conduct research, and then distribute their works to local garden centers and flower shops. An eleventh grade biology class uses DNA to help protect African wildlife. The students share their findings with wildlife-protection officials and have traveled to Tanzania to lead bushmeat-identification workshops. Water Wheel Project Ferry way School, Massachusetts Bridge Project Kentucky Elementary School, Ohio Fifth-graders explore history, science, technology, and engineering by designing their own water wheels. By the time they visit the nearby Saugus Iron Works, which dates back to the 1640s, they’ve already tested and mastered the centuries-old technology. Students conduct surveys, do research, build models and take field trips with the goal of determining the best kind of new bridge to build over the Ohio River. Students don’t restrict themselves to one discipline but rather look into maths, literature, history, science — whatever is appropriate to the study. 16．What is the characteristic of project-based learning? A．Following strict disciplines. B．Engaging in real-world issues. C．Starting subjects at different ages. D．Adopting teacher-centered class modes. 17．Which project includes a field trip to a historic site? A．Soil Superheroes Project. B．African Wildlife DNA Project. C．Water Wheel Project. D．Bridge Project. 18．What is highlighted in Bridge Project? A．Convenience. B．Integration. C．Efficiency. D．Popularity. 【答案】16．B 17．C 18．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍基于项目的学习模式，其特点是跨学科解决现实问题，并列举多个学校项目案例展示该模式的应用。 16．细节理解题。根据第一段“In a growing number of schools, educators believe that having students take part by starting with practical problems is a great motivator.
