第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解

Shane Grammer’s artwork can be found in cities in Mexico, South Korea, Dubai and beyond.In the past years, it’s the murals (壁画) he painted on damaged walls throughout a town in California that have gained attention and touched viewers.
In 2018, the Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California’s history, swept through the town, flattening entire communities, killing scores of people, and displacing tens of thousands. Grammer, whose hometown was just 15 miles from the town, was living with his family and working in the Los Angeles area when he saw accounts of the destruction on his friends’ social media pages. A single mother he knew shared a photo of ash and rubble where her home once stood. A childhood friend’s post showed her burned⁃down house. After he saw a photo of a friend Shane Edwards’ home, which had been reduced to a brick wall with only a chimney standing, he was driven to paint it.
With Edward’s permission, Grammer then used spray paint to transform Edwards’ burnt chimney into a strikingly black⁃and⁃white portrait of a woman, a piece he called “Beauty Among the Ashes”. Once the image was posted on the Internet, the victims of the fire, especially, could not contain themselves. “You bring beauty and hope,” one posted. Over three months, the 47⁃year⁃old created a series of more than a dozen spray⁃painted murals on the remains of buildings and vehicles rendered useless by the flames. The images included a victim of the fire, a young girl who survived but lost her house, and a series of religious characters.
As a street artist, Grammer has committed his life to creating more art installations (装置艺术) all over the world that connect people through tragic life events. He has started a foundation called the Art Through Hope Foundation where he intends to bring peace through his art to those affected by tragedy. “I want to do something powerful and make art that emotionally influences people,” said Grammer in an interview with KRCR. “I think any artist would consider that as their ultimate goal. And to me, that is the biggest miracle I feel like.”

Seattle’s waterfront has a new look, with art celebrating the city’s history and native culture. A key piece is a series of wooden posts inspired by traditional native longhouses, stretching from Columbia to Spring streets and towering over plant beds and a new bike path. The artwork is a part of Seattle’s larger waterfront revitalization (翻新) project inspired by the history, ecology and communities of the land on which it stands.
Three of the new artworks were created by native artists, highlighting the importance of native people in Seattle’s history and future. For many years, the waterfront has been crowded with heavy traffic. Now these new changes create a space that invites personal interaction — and allows people to recognize native culture, land and peoples in Seattle’s past and future.
Oscar Tuazon is the lead artist behind the artwork on the waterfront. Though not native himself, Tuazon worked with other native artists. They included house posts carved (雕刻) by local artists, such as Randi Purser. One of the two house posts will complete a family representation in sculptural form. Purser’s post shows Sholeetsa, Chief Seattle’s mother, holding Chief Seattle as a baby. Across the water, on Bainbridge Island, another of Purser’s posts represents Schweabe, Chief Seattle’s father. “It represents a young family who faced a time of change,” Purser said. “I want to convey that feeling within Seattle of an Indian woman facing the future.”
Tuazon used native trees for the artwork, stressing the connection between traditional native and industrial Seattle architecture. He believed wood represents a process of renewal, much like culture, which develops over time.
Other native artworks on the waterfront include a large basket designed by Malynn Foster. “It’s a gathering basket. We create a space for people to gather and celebrate,” Foster said. “As people walk through that space, they will stop and see something familiar from the past.”
