主题六　文学、艺术 组合练1　阅读(2)&七选五 1.高考真题(2024浙江一考,A) 主题 艺术 Tom Sawyer Play Is an Adventure 　　A 35-minute hand-clapping, foot-stomping musical version of a Mark Twain favorite returns with this Tall Stacks festival. “Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure” has all the good stuff, including the fence painting, the graveyard, the island and the cave. It is adapted by Joe McDonough, with music by David Kisor. That's the local stage writing team that creates many of the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati's original musicals, along with the holiday family musicals at Ensemble Theatre. This year Nathan Turner of Burlington is Tom Sawyer, and Robbie McMath of Fort Mitchell is Huck Finn. Turner, a 10th-grader at School for Creative and Performing Arts, is a familiar presence on Cincinnati's stages. He is a star actor of Children's Theatre, having played leading roles in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “The Wizard of Oz,” and is fresh from Jersey Production “Ragtime.” McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast of “Tom Sawyer” when it was first performed and is a Children's Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky's Governor's School for the Arts in Musical Theatre. Note to teachers: Children's Theatre has a study guide demonstrating how math and science can be taught through “Tom Sawyer.” For downloadable lessons, visit the official website of Children's Theatre. 1.

In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region's raw beauty held an entirely different pull—one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn't noticed before. In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs, the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these hunter-gatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human condition—long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species was incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.” To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book—Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh—was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together. 1. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs? A. The threat of regional progress. 　 B. The appeal of amazing scenery. C. A search for thrilling experiences. 　 D. A childhood bond with ancient art. 2. What can we learn from the quote from Morris in paragraph 3? A. Art is the mirror of nature. 　 B. Art inspires human wisdom. C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. 　 D. Art can't exist without materials. 3. Which can best describe the process of creating the book? A. Systematic. 　B. Brain-tearing. 　C. Painstaking. 　D. Eventful. 4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyphs B. Written in Stone: Ladakh's Timeless Art C. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh's Heritage D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography 答案 1. A　2. C　3. C　4.

Many walkers didn't care about those sounds. 1.　　　. This was the monthly meeting for Book It Around D.C. , a new club that combines audiobooks and walking.  Since starting in March, Book It Around D.C. has grown, bringing together audiobook listeners who said they felt happier or safer in a group. They also said it not only gave them the pleasure of reading but also brought them a sense of belonging—even if they didn't talk to each other. “2.　　　,” said Bailey, who listened to “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” by Marie Bostwick.  3.　　　. This is especially true because a recent study showed that fewer Americans than before read for pleasure. In addition to audiobook clubs, silent book clubs, where people gather to read silently, have grown in popularity across the country. Many readers have found communities on social media, where some of Book It Around D.C.'s members discovered the group through Instagram.  On the morning of Aug. 24, Kit Ballenger, a librarian who lives in Montgomery County, set up a foldable table in a parking lot in the southern part of the National Arboretum. 4.　　　. They each wrote their first name and current audiobook on a white sticker they stuck to the front of their shirts.  The group began walking a few minutes later—some quickly, others slowly—while many walkers opened audiobook apps on their phones. Some walkers used the roughly 90-minute outing to make friends, chatting about their jobs, their favorite books and their go-to grocery stores. 5.　　　. After a quiet walk, the lawn filled with chatter (闲聊).  A. Books are just like our close friends B. They were trying to focus on exercise itself C. Bookworms say they are seeking like-minded people D. People of all ages carried headphones as they approached the table E. This feels like something that is beautifully both inward and outward F. The walkers passed trees, paths and gardens, many stopping to take pictures G. Instead, they were listening to narrators read audiobooks on their headphones 答案 1. G　2. E　3. C　4. D　5.

The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.  Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect(才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway,artists have used them as the raw material for artworks—transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity. 1. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book.　 B. An essay on the art of writing. C. A guidebook to a museum.　 D. A review of modern paintings. 2. What are the selected artworks about? A. Wealth and intellect.　 B. Home and school. C. Books and reading.　 D. Work and leisure. 3. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Understand.　B. Paint.　C. Seize.　D. Transform. 4. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? A. The printed book is not totally out of date. B. Technology has changed the way we read. C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D. People now rarely have the patience to read. 答案 1. A　2. C　3. A　4.

By his reckoning, One Hundred Years of Solitude, his landmark novel of 1967, would need a runtime of 100 hours and have to be filmed in Colombia, entirely in Spanish. Netflix, with the support of M􀅡rquez's estate (遗产) agency, has honoured two of those three proclamations (声明). The streamer boasts that its new adaptation of M􀅡rquez's novel—the first on screen—is “one of the most ambitious productions in Latin American history”. It has decided to compress M􀅡rquez's novel into 16 episodes, with the first released on December 11th, 2024. The book presents a huge challenge to film-makers for two reasons. One is its status: many think One Hundred Years of Solitude was the greatest novel of the 20th century. It helped M􀅡rquez to win the Nobel Prize in literature in 1982 and has sold some 50m copies worldwide. With affection comes expectation. When the TV show was announced, fans online were quick to express their fears about an oversimplified, “caricatured” (讽刺描画的) retelling. Those remarks point to the other test for adapters, which is the novel's sheer complexity. Set in around 1850-1950, the book traces the fortunes of the Buendía family across several generations. When Netflix approached Alex García López, a director, about the project, he was excited but worried. “I remember the book having very little dialogue. I remember it being a very existential kind of book and jumping all over the place. I just thought: ‘This is just not really doable, is it?'” It was José Rivera, one of the screenwriters, who decided the story should proceed chronologically and that it needed a narrator. It quotes from the novel word for word. “It was a great way of having Gabriel's voice guide us through the story,” Mr López says, “and a way to be faithful to the book and to its style.” To write One Hundred Years of Solitude M􀅡rquez drew on his childhood town of Aracataca. Almost 60 years later, Netflix is hoping this is true of its version. M􀅡rquez's book, after all, is about history repeating itself. 1. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. M􀅡rquez made a legal claim against a copyright theft. B. M􀅡rquez spent 100 hours completing his landmark novel. C. Netflix got much support from M􀅡rquez to adapt his novel. D. Netflix is proud of its new adaptation of M􀅡rquez's novel. 2. Why is it a great challenge for film-makers to adapt M􀅡rquez's novel? A. There is a fear about the clumsy performance of the actors. B. The adaptation may rock the status of the work in literature. C. The original novel unfolds a considerably complicated plot. D. Fans hold an impractical expectation of the adapted movie. 3. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The effective strategies of adaptation.　 B. The introduction to the production staff. C. The writing style of the adapted novel.　 D. The strange contents of the screen work. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. M􀅡rquez's Classic: An Ambitious Literature Work B. Netflix: A Successful Streamer to Make Film Adaptations C.

Mike Shepherd (2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black-and-white image(图像).

That's according to a study in the journal EPJ Data Science. If you're wondering how data analysis could determine something as abstract as cultural influence, it's worth remembering the great thing about music: it's the most mathematical of the art forms we actually can deal with because a lot of it is symbolic. Music is written in symbols that are connected in time. Juyong Park is a theoretical physicist at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Park and his colleagues collected 900 piano compositions by 19 composers covering the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods, from 1700 to 1910. Then they used that mathematical quality to their advantage by dividing each composition into what they called “code words,” a group of notes played at the same time—in other words, a chord. They then compared each chord to the chords that came before it. “Our computer model allows us to calculate the degree of shared melodies between past and future works,” said Park. The composer with top marks for novelty was Rachmaninoff. But when the researchers looked at those chord transitions across all 19 composers, it was Beethoven who was most heavily borrowed from—meaning, at least among the composers in this analysis, his influence was the largest. Their study comes with a couple caveats. The researchers only considered piano compositions in this work—not orchestral works. And by only studying chord transitions, their conclusions wouldn't capture artists who had influence in other ways. “It's well understood that Mozart's contribution to music mainly comes from the musical forms that he devised. That was not very well captured by our mathematical modeling.” 1. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. They turned music compositions into written symbols. B. They looked at how chords differed from previous ones. C. They collected 900 pieces from contemporary composers. D. They calculated the number of chords in each music piece. 2. What can be known from the research findings? A. Beethoven was best at coming up with new chords. B. Beethoven borrowed heavily from another composer. C. Rachmaninoff's chords were most unlike previous ones. D. Rachmaninoff's chords were copied by future composers. 3. What does the underlined word “caveats” probably mean? A. Warnings.　B. Benefits. 　C. Costs.　D. Proofs. 4. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Beethoven Regarded as a Giant of Classical Music. B. Similarity between Music and Math Investigated. C. Beethoven's Major Musical Contribution Confirmed. D. Computer Analyses Confirm Beethoven's Influence. 答案 1. B　2. C　3. A　4.

It was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学). That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you—and then try to explain them. Eric Weiner's The Socrates Express:In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy. Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context(背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life. He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding(解读) their messages and adding his own interpretation. The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It's worth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of. 1. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author? A. Foucault.　B. Eric Weiner.　C. Jostein Gaarder.　D. A college teacher. 2. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4? A. To compare Weiner with them.　 B. To give examples of great works. C. To praise their writing skills.　 D. To help readers understand Weiner's book. 3. What does the author like about The Socrates Express? A. Its views on history are well-presented.　B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life. C. It includes comments from readers.　 D. It leaves an open ending. 4. What does the author think of Weiner's book? A. Objective and plain.　 B. Daring and ambitious. C. Serious and hard to follow.　 D. Humorous and straightforward. 答案 1. C　2. D　3. B　4. D　 2.高考真题(2024全国甲,D) 主题 文学 　　“I didn't like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn't have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an ah-ha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I'd pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn't guess, I'd pick up a mystery(悬疑). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end—that's hard. It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable, but doesn't seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what's right for the characters. That's why this issue(期) of Writer's Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you're doing.

It was a delightful experience painting amidst the park's natural beauty. During the class, I finished a watercolor of a tree. It stood tall and proud, with its branches reaching out as if to embrace the sky. I tried to capture its strength and the play of light and shadow on its bark. It wasn't perfect, but I was happy with my effort. The class was more than just about art; it was a moment of connection to nature. I felt a sense of peace that I hadn't experienced before. I hope to have more chances to paint in nature like this.

I enjoyed listening to music, but playing an instrument seemed far out of reach. Then, one day in a music lesson, our teacher, Mr Stevens, introduced us to the school's new piano and invited anyone interested to have a try. I wasn't planning on volunteering, but after class, Mr Stevens pulled me aside. He had noticed how I always tapped my fingers to the beat of the music. “You have a natural rhythm,” he said. “Why don't you give the piano a try?” At first, I laughed. The idea of me playing the piano sounded ridiculous. However, Mr Stevens refused to give up. He offered to teach me after school, and although I was hesitant, I agreed to give it a try. During our first lesson, I struggled to even find the right keys. My fingers fumbled over the notes, and I felt like quitting right there. But Mr Stevens was patient. He broke the songs down into small and manageable parts, encouraging me to practice a little each day.“You don't have to play perfectly,” he said. “You just have to keep going.” Over the next few weeks, I followed his advice. Every day after school, I practiced for just 30 minutes. Gradually, I started to improve. My fingers moved more smoothly across the keys, and I could finally play simple tunes without making too many mistakes. I began to enjoy the process, and something that had once felt impossible now seemed achievable. By the time our class performance came around, Mr Stevens asked me if I wanted to play a solo(独奏). I was terrified, but I agreed. 　　注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 　　On the day of the performance, I was nervous, my hands shaking as I sat at the piano. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　After the performance, Mr Stevens came over. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  答案 One possible version:　　 On the day of the performance, I was nervous, my hands shaking as I sat at the piano. The bright stage lights and the quiet audience only made it worse. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a second, and remembered Mr Stevens' words:“Just keep going.” As my fingers touched the familiar keys, I focused on the first notes. Slowly, the shaking lessened. I concentrated on each small part we had practiced, one after another. To my surprise, the melody flowed much better than I expected. When the last note faded, a wave of relief washed over me. After the performance, Mr Stevens came over. He had a wide, warm smile on his face. “You did it!” he exclaimed, placing a hand on my shoulder. “I told you that you had rhythm. That was truly wonderful, and you handled the nerves perfectly.” Hearing his praise and seeing the genuine pride in his eyes, my lingering anxiety vanished. At that moment, I realized something important: maybe I wasn't completely without talent after all. This small success wasn't just about playing a song; it was about believing I could try something new and surprise myself. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
