I was very interested in seeing how this user could make a very subjective (主观的) topic “objective”. What I saw made me laugh. The post says that good art “improves mood,” “boosts energy” and “clears the mind.” Bad art, on the other hand, “makes you feel uncomfortable,” “tricks the mind” and “is always arguing, sad, angry and a waste of time.” However, this post misses the whole point of art completely. Art isn’t meant to make you feel comfortable. It isn’t meant to be watered down for any audience to enjoy. It isn’t meant to make heavy subjects lighter so that we can all stay calm and happy. It’s so much more than that. I’m making a guess that most of what this post refers to as “good art” is classical art pieces. But much of classical art isn’t just sunshine and rainbows. One painting from a classically-trained painter, “Ivan the Terrible and his Son Ivan” by Ilya Repin, makes me feel horrible every time I see it. The look of absolute fear on the elder Ivan’s face doesn’t necessarily lift my energy. Classical art such as this is fantastic beauty- wise, but it doesn’t necessarily make you feel better. But even uglier art — art that isn’t objectively beautiful and makes you uncomfortable — is still art. A great example is the films of David Cronenberg. He’s one of my favorite artists of all time — not because his films uplift me. If anything, my enjoyment of his films comes from the fact that they make me feel so bad. What makes Cronenberg so amazing is that he makes the uncomfortable and the strange into masterpieces. I end up liking his films, even loving them, even though they often make me feel very bad. Art, whether it takes the form of film, painting, sculpture or none of the above, is a personal expression of the artist. As all of us know, not every feeling we have is good. There is a place and a purpose for exploring both the dark and light sides of humanity. If you don’t enjoy a piece of art, that’s fine! You don’t have to enjoy it just because it is called art by others. Art is, objectively, subjective. Plenty of people will try to tell you what “good art” is. You don’t have to follow their guidelines, though. Make your own boxes Deciding what art is for yourself is the very beauty of creation. 16．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Be comforted. B．Be presented. C．Be weakened. D．Be decorated. 17．The artist Ilya Repin and his work are mentioned in paragraph 4 to ________. A．raise a question B．argue a point C．make a comparison D．introduce a topic 18．What can we infer about David Cronenberg’s films? A．They are not liked by many. B．They are of great artistic quality. C．They are uplifting and enjoyable. D．They are created to make people angry. 19．What can we learn from the passage? A．Good art always makes us uncomfortable. B．Good art expresses the feelings of audiences. C．Good art is not supposed to be enjoyed by all. D．Good art can be defined by experienced experts. 20．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．Judging Art: The Line between Good and Bad B．Studying Art: The Features of Classic and Modern C．Enjoying Art: The Acceptance of Strange and Uncomfortable D．Creating Art: The Balance between Subjective and Objective B In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg. Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others promote the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century. One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too. “There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.” But there’s an appeal in that weakness. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness. Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex patterns were believed to offer protection against evil. “There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not take over in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives. Although the tradition dates back to 300 B．C．, the old symbols on the eggs still reflect their good wishes. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest. 21．Why do people in many cultures prize the egg? A．It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring. B．It is their major source of protein in winter. C．It can easily be made into a work of art. D．It can bring wealth and honor to them. 22．What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia? A．They are shaped like jewel cases. B．They are cherished by the rich. C．They are heavily painted in red. D．They are favored as a form of art. 23．Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition? A．Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life. B．Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists. C．Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today. D．Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on. 24．Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs? A．She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B．She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C．She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D．She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end. 25．What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting? A．The Russians prefer baking red eggs into breads. B．It has a history of over two thousand years. C．It is the most time-honored form of fancy art. D．It is especially favored as a church decoration. C For decades, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has played a big role in establishing and securing World Heritage Sites of cultural and natural importance. These are some sites on its World Heritage List. Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (Russia) This group of monuments is located in the historic city of Pskov. The structures, many of which are churches, were all designed by the Pskov School of Architecture. It was a leading school of building design in the country, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some elements common to Pskov architecture date back to the 12th century. Babylon (Iraq) The ancient city of Babylon was once a main tourist site before Iraq suffered several wars. The city with a history of more than 4,000 years is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization. UNESCO says the site “offers a look into one of the most influential empires of the ancient world”. Writing-on-Stone (Canada) Canada’s Writing-on-Stone monument has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings. Some of them are about 2,000 years old. The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans, who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The land that makes up Writing-on-Stone is filled with rock posts that have been formed into “spectacular shapes” by erosion (侵蚀). Paraty and IIha Grande (Brazil) The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island IIha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state. Paraty was the end-point of the Gold Route, along which gold was shipped to Europe in the 1600s: The area is also the home to a huge number of animals, some of which are in danger now. 26．What do we know about the buildings in Pskov? A．They are merely churches. B．They are a group of ancient schools. C．Their paintings are about 2,000 years old. D．Their designs came from the same school. 27．Which of the following shows us the earliest ancient civilization? A．Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture. B．Babylon. C．Writing-on-Stone.

C．Encourage people to visit four famous cities. D．Introduce four World Heritage Sites. D Rainie Huang’s journey in make-up artistry began in 2018. While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life. Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said, “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.” Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said. The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6, 565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people. 31．What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do? A．Start a career in fashion design. B．Present artifacts in snowy landscapes. C．Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D．Teach people to do make-up on social media. 32．Why do Huang’s designs become popular? A．They follow the latest beauty topics. B．They allow people to imagine missing artifacts. C．They satisfy people’s curiosity about artwork design. D．They make museum artworks more approachable. 33．What is Huang’s advice for young generations? A．Replacing museum trips with online visits. B．Spreading museum culture in inventive ways. C．Keeping artifacts original for scientific research. D．Connecting museum culture with business activities. 34．Which of the following can best describe Huang? A．Friendly and positive. B．Independent and serious. C．Creative and thoughtful. D．Talented and knowledgeable. 35．What is the last paragraph intended to tell us? A．Museum collections face the challenge of technology. B．Media influences have increased museums’ attraction. C．Museums are changing practices to attract the young. D．Most people think highly of museum objects and history. 三、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 China is a great country with long history, and it creates many wonderful ancient stories.

Once, she wanted her father to take her to the East Sea to see how the sun came up, but the Emperor was so busy with his work that there was 40 time for him to stay with her daughter. So Nǚ Wa took a small boat and went to the East Sea by herself without telling her father. Suddenly, a serious storm came. With 41 winds and black clouds, the sea waves grew bigger and knocked the girl’s boat over. She fell into the sea and never returned. 42 the girl died, she turned into a small but colorful bird.

The post says that good art “improves mood,” “boosts energy” and “clears the mind.” Bad art, on the other hand, “makes you feel uncomfortable,” “tricks the mind” and “is always arguing, sad, angry and a waste of time.” However, this post misses the whole point of art completely. Art isn’t meant to make you feel comfortable. It isn’t meant to be watered down for any audience to enjoy. It isn’t meant to make heavy subjects lighter so that we can all stay calm and happy. It’s so much more than that. I’m making a guess that most of what this post refers to as “good art” is classical art pieces. But much of classical art isn’t just sunshine and rainbows. One painting from a classically-trained painter, “Ivan the Terrible and his Son Ivan” by Ilya Repin, makes me feel horrible every time I see it. The look of absolute fear on the elder Ivan’s face doesn’t necessarily lift my energy. Classical art such as this is fantastic beauty- wise, but it doesn’t necessarily make you feel better. But even uglier art — art that isn’t objectively beautiful and makes you uncomfortable — is still art. A great example is the films of David Cronenberg. He’s one of my favorite artists of all time — not because his films uplift me. If anything, my enjoyment of his films comes from the fact that they make me feel so bad. What makes Cronenberg so amazing is that he makes the uncomfortable and the strange into masterpieces. I end up liking his films, even loving them, even though they often make me feel very bad. Art, whether it takes the form of film, painting, sculpture or none of the above, is a personal expression of the artist. As all of us know, not every feeling we have is good. There is a place and a purpose for exploring both the dark and light sides of humanity. If you don’t enjoy a piece of art, that’s fine! You don’t have to enjoy it just because it is called art by others. Art is, objectively, subjective. Plenty of people will try to tell you what “good art” is. You don’t have to follow their guidelines, though. Make your own boxes Deciding what art is for yourself is the very beauty of creation. 16．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Be comforted. B．Be presented. C．Be weakened. D．Be decorated. 17．The artist Ilya Repin and his work are mentioned in paragraph 4 to ________. A．raise a question B．argue a point C．make a comparison D．introduce a topic 18．What can we infer about David Cronenberg’s films? A．They are not liked by many. B．They are of great artistic quality. C．They are uplifting and enjoyable. D．They are created to make people angry. 19．What can we learn from the passage? A．Good art always makes us uncomfortable. B．Good art expresses the feelings of audiences. C．Good art is not supposed to be enjoyed by all. D．Good art can be defined by experienced experts. 20．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．Judging Art: The Line between Good and Bad B．Studying Art: The Features of Classic and Modern C．Enjoying Art: The Acceptance of Strange and Uncomfortable D．Creating Art: The Balance between Subjective and Objective 【答案】16．C 17．B 18．B 19．C 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章针对有人列出“好艺术”与“坏艺术”的客观区别这一观点进行反驳，指出艺术是主观的，不应被他人的标准所束缚。 16．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“It isn’t meant to be watered down for any audience to enjoy. It isn’t meant to make heavy subjects lighter so that we can all stay calm and happy. (它不是为了……以让任何观众都能欣赏。它不是为了让沉重的主题变得轻松，以便我们都能保持平静和快乐)”可知，这里说艺术不应该被“watered down”，结合后文“to make heavy subjects lighter”提到“不应该让沉重主题变轻松”可推知，“watered down”意思是“被弱化”，与C项“Be weakened.”意思想相近。故选C项。 17．推理判断题。根据第四段“I’m making a guess that most of what this post refers to as “good art” is classical art pieces. But much of classical art isn’t just sunshine and rainbows. One painting from a classically trained painter, “Ivan the Terrible and his Son Ivan” by Ilya Repin, makes me feel horrible every time I see it. The look of absolute fear on the elder Ivan’s face doesn’t necessarily lift my energy. (我猜测这篇文章中提到的大部分‘好艺术’是古典艺术作品。但很多古典艺术并不只是美好和欢乐。一位受过古典训练的画家伊利亚·列宾的画作《伊凡雷帝杀子》，每次我看到它都让我感觉很糟糕。老伊凡脸上绝对恐惧的表情并不一定会让我充满活力)”可知，作者提到伊利亚·列宾及其作品是为了反驳前文认为“好艺术能改善心情、提升精力”这一观点，即论证一个观点。故选B项。 18．推理判断题。根据第六段中“He’s one of my favorite artists of all time — not because his films uplift me. If anything, my enjoyment of his films comes from the fact that they make me feel so bad. What makes Cronenberg so amazing is that he makes the uncomfortable and the strange into masterpieces.(他一直是我最喜欢的艺术家之一——并不是因为他的电影鼓舞了我。如果说有什么不同的话，那就是我喜欢他的电影是因为它们让我感觉很糟糕。柯南伯格的惊人之处在于，他把不舒服和奇怪的东西变成了杰作。)”可知，大卫·克隆伯格能把不舒服和奇怪的元素变成杰作，由此可推断他的电影具有很高的艺术品质。故选B项。 19．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Art isn’t meant to make you feel comfortable. It isn’t meant to be watered down for any audience to enjoy. (艺术不是为了让你感觉舒服。它不是为了被淡化以让任何观众都能欣赏)”可知，好的艺术并非要让所有人都喜欢和欣赏。故选C项。 20．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“I recently came across a post in which the author announces that he has listed the “objective” (客观的) differences between good art and bad art. (我最近看到一篇文章，作者宣称他列出了‘好艺术’和‘坏艺术’的‘客观’区别)”以及最后一段“Plenty of people will try to tell you what “good art” is. You don’t have to follow their guidelines, though. Make your own boxes Deciding what art is for yourself is the very beauty of creation. (很多人会试图告诉你什么是‘好艺术’。不过，你不必遵循他们的标准。自己定义艺术，这正是创作的美妙之处)”可知，文章围绕如何判断好艺术和坏艺术展开讨论，指出艺术是主观的，不应该被他人定义的好坏标准所限制。A项“Judging Art: The Line between Good and Bad(评判艺术：好与坏的界限)”能概括文章内容，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 B In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg. Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others promote the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century. One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too. “There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.” But there’s an appeal in that weakness. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness. Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex patterns were believed to offer protection against evil. “There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not take over in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives. Although the tradition dates back to 300 B．C．, the old symbols on the eggs still reflect their good wishes. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest. 21．Why do people in many cultures prize the egg? A．It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring. B．It is their major source of protein in winter. C．It can easily be made into a work of art. D．It can bring wealth and honor to them. 22．What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia? A．They are shaped like jewel cases. B．They are cherished by the rich. C．They are heavily painted in red. D．They are favored as a form of art. 23．Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition? A．Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life. B．Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists. C．Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today. D．Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on. 24．Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs? A．She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B．She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C．She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D．She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end. 25．What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting? A．The Russians prefer baking red eggs into breads. B．It has a history of over two thousand years. C．It is the most time-honored form of fancy art. D．It is especially favored as a church decoration. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．C 24．A 25．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了俄罗斯一种奇特的艺术形式：蛋画艺术。说明了这项艺术的历史由来，以及背后蕴含的意义。蛋画艺术是随着时代的发展而不断发展的。 21．细节理解题。根据根据第一段“In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.(到了春天，鸡又开始下蛋，为冬天的结束带来了受欢迎的蛋白质来源。因此，世界各地的文化通过纪念鸡蛋来庆祝春天也就不足为奇了)”可知，鸡又开始下蛋是春天来临的喜讯，所以在许多文化中人们都珍视鸡蛋。故选A项。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Others promote the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.(另一些人则把鸡蛋提升为一种奇特的艺术，就像19世纪开始受到俄罗斯人喜爱的镶满珠宝的“鸡蛋”一样)”可知，俄罗斯人将装饰鸡蛋作为一种奇特的艺术形式，故选D项。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.(当代艺术家遵循这一传统，创作出表达我们这个时代焦虑的鸡蛋：生命是珍贵的，也是脆弱的)”可知，因为鸡蛋反映了当今人们的焦虑，所以当代艺术家延续鸡蛋艺术的传统。故选C项。 24．推理判断题。根据第四段“Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”(几年前，她对鸡蛋产生了兴趣，并学习了乌克兰传统的技术，画出了非常现代的人物。“从最开始到最后，我在整个过程的每个阶段都打破了鸡蛋。”)”以及第五段“But there’s an appeal in that weakness. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.(但这个缺点也有吸引力。“知道自己正走在悬崖边上，这是一种令人震惊的恐惧，我有点喜欢，知道它随时都可能分崩离析。”查斯特的设计，比如一个忧心忡忡的男人独自坐在一条小船上，反映了这种精致)”可知，因为在设计完成之前，她永远不知道鸡蛋是否会破，所以查斯特喜欢装饰鸡蛋的过程。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although the tradition dates back to 300 B. C., the old symbols on the eggs still reflect their good wishes. (虽然这一传统可以追溯到公元前300年，但鸡蛋上的古老符号仍然反映了他们的美好祝愿)”可知，这一传统可以追溯到公元前300年，也就是说它有两千多年的历史。故选B项。 C For decades, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has played a big role in establishing and securing World Heritage Sites of cultural and natural importance. These are some sites on its World Heritage List. Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (Russia) This group of monuments is located in the historic city of Pskov. The structures, many of which are churches, were all designed by the Pskov School of Architecture. It was a leading school of building design in the country, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some elements common to Pskov architecture date back to the 12th century. Babylon (Iraq) The ancient city of Babylon was once a main tourist site before Iraq suffered several wars. The city with a history of more than 4,000 years is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization. UNESCO says the site “offers a look into one of the most influential empires of the ancient world”. Writing-on-Stone (Canada) Canada’s Writing-on-Stone monument has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings. Some of them are about 2,000 years old. The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans, who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The land that makes up Writing-on-Stone is filled with rock posts that have been formed into “spectacular shapes” by erosion (侵蚀). Paraty and IIha Grande (Brazil) The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island IIha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state. Paraty was the end-point of the Gold Route, along which gold was shipped to Europe in the 1600s: The area is also the home to a huge number of animals, some of which are in danger now. 26．What do we know about the buildings in Pskov?

C．Encourage people to visit four famous cities. D．Introduce four World Heritage Sites. 【答案】26．D 27．B 28．C 29．A 30．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录中的四个遗产地及其相关信息。 26．细节理解题。根据Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (Russia)中的“The structures, many of which are churches, were all designed by the Pskov School of Architecture.(这些建筑，其中许多是教堂，均由普斯科夫建筑学派设计。)”可知，普斯科夫的建筑设计都来自同一学派。故选D项。 27．细节理解题。根据Babylon (Iraq)中的“The city with a history of more than 4,000 years is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization.(这座拥有4000多年历史的城市，自人类定居文明初期以来，见证了诸多王朝的兴衰。)”可知，巴比伦展现了最早的古代文明。故选B项。 28．细节理解题。根据Writing-on-Stone (Canada)中的“The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans, who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States.(这些标记是居住在加拿大西部和美国最北部部分地区的黑脚族印第安人留下的。)”可知，“石上文字”纪念碑反映了当地人的文化。故选C项。 29．细节理解题。根据Paraty and Ilha Grande (Brazil)中的“The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island IIha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro state.(历史悠久的海滨小镇帕拉蒂和格兰德岛已经是巴西里约热内卢州游客的热门去处。)”可知，帕拉蒂和格兰德岛是沿海地区，游客可以看到海岸风光。故选A项。 30．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段“For decades, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has played a big role in establishing and securing World Heritage Sites of cultural and natural importance. These are some sites on its World Heritage List.(几十年来，联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）在建立和保护具有重要文化和自然价值的世界遗产地方面发挥了重要作用。以下是其世界遗产名录中的一些遗产地。)”可知，第一段引出联合国教科文组织的世界遗产地，随后分别介绍了俄罗斯、伊拉克、加拿大和巴西的四个世界遗产地，因此本文旨在介绍四个世界遗产地。故选D项。 D Rainie Huang’s journey in make-up artistry began in 2018. While studying for a fashion design degree at an art academy, she discovered her love for make-up in her free moments. In 2020, “the Palace Museum covered in snow” became a hot topic on social media. “It was my first time observing such a scene. An idea came upon me then: Were those cultural relics quietly appreciating the snow inside the palace?” Huang said. She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make-up. She skillfully recreated the features of an artifact on her face, bringing it to life. Her designs quickly gained popularity. “This approach not only allows people to appreciate the make-up but also helps them connect with the liveliness of our cultural heritage.” Huang said. Some have expressed how her make-up designs have introduced them to many little-known artifacts. One follower said, “You have found and shared the valuable things from museums, allowing us to see and appreciate the artifacts that were once lost among many exhibits during our hurried visits.” Huang has noticed that an increasing number of young people show a deep appreciation for the traditional culture. “It’s necessary for the ways museum culture is passed on to keep pace with the changing times to avoid culture loss. Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,” Huang said. The total number of Chinese museums nationwide reached 6, 565 in 2022, ranking among the top in the world. In the past, many considered museum visits boring because of a lack of awareness of their wealth of collections. The recommendations by social media influencers and TV programs have led to a growing number of people realizing that museums offer a wide variety of interesting things. While not everyone may be interested in objects and history, the quest for beauty is born among people. 31．What did the snowy Palace Museum inspire Huang to do? A．Start a career in fashion design. B．Present artifacts in snowy landscapes. C．Create make-up to show artifacts’ beauty. D．Teach people to do make-up on social media. 32．Why do Huang’s designs become popular? A．They follow the latest beauty topics. B．They allow people to imagine missing artifacts. C．They satisfy people’s curiosity about artwork design. D．They make museum artworks more approachable. 33．What is Huang’s advice for young generations? A．Replacing museum trips with online visits. B．Spreading museum culture in inventive ways. C．Keeping artifacts original for scientific research. D．Connecting museum culture with business activities. 34．Which of the following can best describe Huang? A．Friendly and positive. B．Independent and serious. C．Creative and thoughtful. D．Talented and knowledgeable. 35．What is the last paragraph intended to tell us? A．Museum collections face the challenge of technology.

Young generations are responsible for carrying forward the culture, in whatever positive and productive manners,’ Huang said.(“博物馆文化的传承方式有必要与时俱进，以避免文化流失。年轻一代有责任以任何积极和富有成效的方式传承文化。”黄说)”可知，Huang建议年轻一代用创新的方式传播博物馆文化。故选B项。 34．推理判断题。根据第一段中“She began imagining what the relics might look like in human form. So she got colors and elements from these artifacts (手工艺品) for her make up.

Thinking about shadow puppetry, they are reminded of the experience of watching shadow plays in some fairs 46 they were little. But now, one can enjoy a whole shadow show just by 47 (put) on a virtual reality (VR) headset. “We’ve been looking for a connection between traditional art 48 modern technology, ” said the VR game 49 (design) Zhang Qing. Shadow puppetry is a Chinese folk art 50 (know) for its unique storytelling techniques, which dates from 2,000 years ago.
