Centuries of damage has left the mural in a fragile state despite 22 years of restoration,which was completed in 1999.Da Vinci himself is partly to blame:his experimental mix of oil and tempera(蛋彩画) was applied between 1495 and 1498,rather than within a week as is typical of fresco(湿壁画) techniques.But the most damage was caused by restorers in the 19th century,whose use of alcohol and cotton wool removed an entire layer.Yet the work’s condition does little to lessen its astonishing beauty. You may very well kick yourself if you miss it,so book in advance or sign up for a guided city tour.English-language guided tours (3.50 on top of the regular ticket price) take place at 9:30 a.m.and 3:30 p.m.from Tuesday to Sunday.Again,you’ll need to book ahead.

B For the creatively minded,snow represents a large blank canvas(空白画布) for art.But often,it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues.Simon Beck had a different idea,and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world.He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow.Combined with light and shadow,his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above. Beck,59,a former map maker turned into a snow artist,thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained.“After skiing one day,I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...” “I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing,but it really went beyond my expectations,”he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift. To create this work,Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head.It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.But as his designs developed and became more complex,Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first. Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared. “Most of the time I had been doing failed careers,and people around me are asking what’s the quickest way of getting rid of this person,” Beck said.“And for the first time,I felt people actually wanted me.I felt like a more valued member of society.” 4.Where does Simon Beck create art? A.On maps. B.On mountains. C.On snowfields. D.On soccer fields. 5.Why did Beck create his first drawing? A.To prove his talent. B.To have fun. C.To entertain the skiers. D.To develop a new hobby. 6.What contributed to Beck’s art creation? A.His experience of making maps. B.His passion for skiing. C.His competitive nature. D.His dream to be an artist. 7.In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage? A.Travel. B.Sports. C.Geography. D.Art. C Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art.But what motivates these collectors? One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain.Some resell works,earning enormous profit.Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.Immorally,some collectors buy art as a form of money laundering(洗钱),since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination. But most collectors think little of profit.For them,art is important for other reasons.The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds,and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks. Collectors are not only interested in creating social links,they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created.We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings.It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who she sees herself as. Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power.Through the collections,collectors convey messages not just about themselves,but about the world as a whole.For example,the kid with the shoe box of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends,but also to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species. 8.Which factor motivates most collectors to collect art? A.The huge financial return. B.The social function of art. C.The importance of art itself. D.The benefit from tax reduction. 9.What’s paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Art is a powerful social link. B.Art is an effective way to honor artists. C.Art influences collectors’ future careers. D.Art reflects collectors themselves somehow. 10.Why does the author mention the example in the last paragraph? A.To prove the power of collecting. B.To broaden the ways of collecting. C.To share some messages of collecting. D.To display the prospects of collecting. 11.What can be the suitable title for the text? A.Why Is Collection Popular? B.Why Do People Collect Art? C.Why Is Collecting Art Necessary? D.Why Do Artworks Convey Feelings? Ⅴ.七选五 Art is all around us.It can be found everywhere,including fancy galleries,people’s living rooms,and on the sides of buildings.So,why is art important? It promotes expression and creativity.As humans,we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication.　1　 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak.In fact,participation in the arts may even assist kids with language,motor skills,and visual learning development.  　2　 When someone applies for a job,there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping.However,many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define.Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change,think creatively,or collaborate(合作) with team members.  It provides historical context.　3　 This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art,Shakespearean plays,and so much more.When we take the time to dive into art created in the past,we can learn about other generations and eras.We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it.　4　  In therapy(疗法) settings,art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss.　5　 In one important study,children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting.This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.  A.These are its major benefits. B.Children love to draw,sing,and dance. C.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills. D.How does it have an impact on our life? E.Similarly,future generations will learn about our current events by the art we leave behind. F.Art and human history go hand-in-hand. G.It can help people lift their spirits. 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.influential　2.a　3.precisely　4.emerges　5.was purchased　6.realistic Ⅱ.1.to focus on　2.sets her apart from　3.in particular　4.is/was fond of　5.has been/was divided into Ⅲ.1.While his landscapes lacked details　2.but having a natural talent　3.It is possible that　4.than anyone else 5.Having painted since childhood Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍参观达·芬奇名画——《最后的晚餐》的具体事宜。 1.C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“Centuries of damage has left the mural in a fragile state despite 22 years of restoration,which was completed in 1999.”可知,这幅画保存情况比较糟糕。 2.D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段以及最后一段可知,一个带着12岁以下孩子的成年游客如果还想要导游,他需要提前预订,所以需要支付10+3.5+2=15.5。 3.A　推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍参观达·芬奇名画——《最后的晚餐》的具体事宜,所以这篇文章可能出现在一篇旅游指南中。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了艺术家Simon Beck在雪地上创作巨幅几何画的故事。 4.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched snow.”可知,他是在雪地上创作艺术画作的。 5.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中“After skiing one day,I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”可知,Simon Beck一开始是为了找点乐子才在雪地上画画的。 6.A　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Beck,59,a former map maker turned into a snow artist”和第四段中“It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience.”可知,Beck之前制作地图的经验有助于他的艺术创作。 7.D　推理判断题。文章主要讲述了艺术家Simon Beck在雪地上创作巨幅几何画的故事。由此可知,文章选自“艺术”栏目。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了人们收藏艺术品的原因。 8.B　推理判断题。根据第三段可知,大多数收藏家收藏艺术品是为了建立和加强社会纽带,并在这些新网络中交流。由此可推测出,驱使大多数收藏家收藏艺术品的因素是艺术品的社会功能。 9.D　段落大意题。根据第四段中“It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who she sees herself as.”可知,本段主要讲述了艺术品能够反映出收藏家自己的心声。 10.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Through the collections,collectors convey messages not just about themselves,but about the world as a whole.”以及所举的例子可知,作者举这个例子是为了证明收藏的影响力。 11.B　标题归纳题。通读全文可知,第一段引出话题,即:为什么人们收藏艺术品?接下来作者解释了人们收藏艺术品的原因。由此可知,B项“为什么人们收藏艺术品?”最适合作本文标题。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章向人们解释了艺术的重要性,并通过举例说明了艺术对于人的积极作用。艺术具有可以提高人的表达能力和创造力的作用,又可以帮助我们了解前人所处的时代,还可以帮助孩子调节情绪。 1.B　上文说明艺术会吸引我们,结合下文“It’s a way for them to...and visual learning development.”可知,空处应该是儿童用艺术表达自己的具体方式,而B项为儿童表达自己的具体方式,符合题意。故选B项。 2.C　根据下文可知,此段主旨是讲艺术对于这些技能的作用,C项是介绍艺术对于人的技能发展的作用,符合题意。故选C项。 3.F　根据上文“It provides historical context.”以及下文“This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art,Shakespearean plays,and so much more.”可知,空处应该是讲艺术对于人类历史的作用。F项符合题意。故选F项。 4.E　上文“We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it.”可知,艺术具有让人预知未来的作用。E项与上文意思相互承接,符合题意。故选E项。 5.G　上文 “In therapy(疗法) settings,art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss.” 和下文“In one important study,children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction...simply copy another drawing.”可知,该段讲的是艺术对于情感的调节作用。G项符合题意。故选G项。 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
