(2021·全国二卷·高考真题)
A British woman who won a $1 million prize after she was named the World's Best Teacher will use the cash to bring inspirational figures into UK schools.
Andria Zafirakou, a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution (变革). "We are going to make a change," she said. "I've started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools."
The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort — whether an upandcoming local musician or a major movie star — into schools to work with and inspire children.
Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. "I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by — their eyes are shining and their faces light up," she said. "We need artists more than ever in our schools."
Artist Michael CraigMartin said: "Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary, he added.
Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not just an addon. "It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young. What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative spirit, our visionary sense of freshness, that has been our strength for centuries."
28.What will Zafirakou do with her prize money?
A. Make a movie. B. Build new schools.
C. Run a project. D. Help local musicians.
29.What does CraigMartin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools?
A. It is particularly difficult. B. It increases artists' income.
C. It opens children's mind. D. It deserves greater attention.
30.What should be stressed in school education according to Schama?
A. Moral principles. B. Interpersonal skills.
C. Creative abilities. D. Positive worldviews.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Bring Artists to Schools. B. When Historians Meet Artists.
C. Arts Education in Britain. D. The World's Best Arts Teacher.

Passage A
Andria Zafirakou, a teacher in London, won a prize for being the World's Best Teacher. She decided to use the money to start a project to bring inspirational figures into schools. The project resulted from the difficulty schools face in getting artists to inspire children. Zafirakou said she had seen children's eyes shine when talking to inspiring people. She believes that arts education is more necessary than ever.
Passage B
Artist Michael CraigMartin supported Zafirakou's project. He said it was particularly welcome because the arts are being downgraded in schools. He believed it is a mistake to consider the arts unnecessary. Historian Sir Simon Schama also supported the project. He said creativity depends on the young and will remain our strength even when artificial intelligence takes over. Our creative spirit is what makes us human.
Passage C
The story of Andria Zafirakou demonstrates the power of education and creativity. Her project brings artists into direct contact with students, helping them connect their studies to the real world. The support from historians and artists proves that interdisciplinary cooperation is valuable. The revolution in teaching that Zafirakou promotes is not just about learning skills but about developing a visionary spirit. The future belongs to those who can combine knowledge with creativity. As Schama said, our creative abilities are our greatest strength in an age of artificial intelligence.
板块七:参考译文(板块一完整真题语篇全文翻译)
一位英国女性被评为世界最佳教师后获得了100万美元的奖金,她将用这笔现金将鼓舞人心的人物带入英国的学校。
伦敦北部一所中学的教师安德里亚·扎菲拉库说,她希望带来一场课堂革命。“我们要做出改变,”她说,“我已经启动了一个项目,在学校推广艺术教学。”
这个项目源于许多学校在邀请任何类型的艺术家(无论是崭露头角的当地音乐家还是大牌电影明星)进入学校与孩子们合作并激励他们方面遇到的困难。
扎菲拉库在阿尔珀顿社区学校开始了这个项目,她在那里工作了十二年。“我见过那些神奇的时刻,当孩子们与他们所敬佩的人交谈时——他们的眼睛闪闪发光,脸上洋溢着喜悦,”她说,“我们的学校比以往任何时候都更需要艺术家。”
艺术家迈克尔·克雷格-马丁说:“在学校艺术被贬低的时代,安德里亚将各领域艺术家与儿童直接接触的杰出项目尤其受欢迎。”他补充说,认为艺术是不必要的是一种错误。
历史学家西蒙·沙马爵士也是该项目的支持者。他说学校的艺术教育不仅仅是一个附加品。“这是绝对必要的。未来取决于创造力,而创造力取决于年轻人。当人工智能接管一切时,我们剩下的将是我们的创造力,而正是我们的创造精神、我们有远见的新鲜感,几个世纪以来一直是我们的力量。”
