A 教材同步单元练习 一、阅读理解 Passage 1 What Makes Art"Great"?For centuries,critics and art lovers have debated what makes a work of art truly great."Is it technical skill,emotional impact,historical significance,or the ability to provoke thought?The answer,as many have come to realize,is often a combination of these elements,but the balance varies widely across different cultures and time periods. Take the Renaissance masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci.His Mona Lisa is celebrated not only for its revolutionary use of sfumato-a technique that creates soft transitions between colors-but also for the enigmatic smile that continues to puzzle viewers.The painting's fame,however,is also tied to its history: it was stolen in 1911,sparking worldwide headlines,and later returned.This incident transformed a relatively obscure portrait into a global icon.Today,the Mona Lisa is arguably the most recognizable painting in the world,yet some art historians argue that its current status owes more to fame and media exposure than to its intrinsic artistic merit. In contrast,consider the works of Vincent van Gogh.During his lifetime,van Gogh sold only a few paintings and lived in poverty.His bold use of color and emotional brushstrokes was largely dismissed by the art establishment.It was only after his death that his genius was fully recognized.Today,his Starzy Nightis valued at over $100 million,and his story of a tortured artist resonates deeply with the public. The rise of van Gogh's reputation illustrates how time can reshape our perception of art. Modemn art presents an even greater challenge to defining "greatness."Marcel Duchamp's Fountain-a mass-produced urinal signed with a pseudonym and submitted to an art exhibition in 1917-was initially rejected as obscene.Yet it sparked a revolution in conceptual art,forcing people to question the very definition of art.Is it the object itself,or the idea behind it?This question remains central to contemporary debates. Ultimately,the greatness of art may be subjective,shaped by cultural context,personal taste,and historical forces.What remains constant is the power of art to move,inspire,and challenge us. ()1.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The Mona Lisa is the greatest painting in the world. B.The definition ofgreat art"is complex and changes over time. C.Van Gogh's works were always highly valued. D.Modemn art has no real value. ()2.Why does the author mention the theft of the Mona Lisa? A.To prove that the painting was not originally famous. B.To show that crime can increase an artwork's value. C.To explain why the Mona Lisa is more famous than van Gogh's works D.To illustrate one factor that contributed to its global fame. ()3.What can we learn about van Gogh from the passage? A.He became rich during his lifetime. B.His artistic style was immediately accepted. C.His reputation grew significantly after his death D.He rejected the traditional definition of art. ()4.The word "intrinsic"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to A.hidden B.essential C.commercial D.accidental ()5.What is the author's attitude toward the question of what makes great art? A.It is impossible to determine B.It is mainly determined by experts. C.It is influenced by many factors and is subjective. D.It should be based on technical skill only Passage 2 The Artist Who Painted With Light In the 17th century,the Dutch Republic experienced a golden age of art,producing masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer.Among them,Johannes Vermeer(1632-1675)is celebrated for his exquisite depictions of domestic interior scenes,often featuring women engaged in daily activities.But what tuly sets Vermeer apart is his masterful use of light. Unlike many of his contemporaries,Vermeer did not leave behind sketches or drawings.Fewer than 40 of his paintings are known to exist.This scarcity has fueled endless speculation about his techniques.Some art historians believe Vermeer may have used a camera obscura-a device that projects an image onto a surface-to achieve the near-photographic realism in his works.Paintings like Girl with a Pearl Eaning display a soft,luminous quality that seems almost modem in its intimacy and immediacy. Recent scientific analysis has revealed that Vermeer's palette was remarkably consistent,dominated by ultramarine (made from ground lapis lazuli),lead-tin yellow,and other costly pigments.This suggests that he was well-funded or highly selective about his materials.In The Milkmaid,the stream of milk is painted with tiny dots of light,creating a sense of dynamic movement frozen in time.The effect is so subtle that it took centuries for art critics to fully appreciate the precision of his observation. The documentary Tim's Vermeer(2013)attempted to recreate one of his paintings using a camera obscura and mirrors,suggesting that Vermeer might have been a"optical engineer"as much as a painter.While the theory remains controversial,it has sparked renewed interest in the relationship between art and technology. Despite his brilliance,Vermeer died in debt,partly because the Dutch economy collapsed in 1672.For nearly two centuries,his name was almost forgotten.It was only in the 19th century that his work was rediscovered and hailed as a pinnacle of Westemn painting.Today,The Milkmaid and Girl with a Pearl Eaning draw millions of visitors to museums worldwide.Vermeer's story reminds us that artistic genius is sometimes only recognized long after the artist's lifetime. ()6.What is the main characteristic of Vermeer's paintings according to the passage? A.They are large and dramatic. B.They primarily depict historical events. C.They feature everyday scenes with exceptional light handling. D.They were created quickly without preparation ()7.The phrase"camera obscura"in paragraph 2 most likely refers to A.a type of paint B.an optical tool that projects images C.a dark room used for developing photographs D.a style of painting ()8.How does the author prove that Vermeer used expensive materials? A.By analyzing his letters. B.By comparing his paintings to those of Rembrandt. C.By refering to scientific analysis of his pigments. D.By quoting from art critics. ()9.Why did Vermeer die in debt according to the passage? A.He spent too much on expensive pigments. B.He was unable to sell his paintings C.The economy of the Netherlands declined. D.He had too many children to support. ()10.What is the author's purpose in mentioning the documentary Tim's Vermeer? A.To confirm that Vermeer used a camera obscura. B.To show that Vermeer's techniques remain a mystery. C.To illustrate the connection between art and modern technology. D.To criticize the documentary's conclusion. 二、完形填空 When I first entered the Louvre Museum in Paris,I was overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the collection Hundreds of thousands of artworks 1. in galleries that stretch for miles.I had come specifically to see the Mona Lisa,but as I walked through the halls,I found myself2. by lesser-known pieces.

Art in the Digital Age:Museums Go Virtual In recent years,museums around the world have embraced digital technology to make their collections more accessible.The Google Arts Culture platform,launched in 2011,now partners with over 2,000 museums and galleries in 80 countries,offering virtual tours and high-resolution images of artworks. Users can zoom in to see brushstrokes that are invisible to the naked eye,or explore ancient artifacts in 3D from their own homes. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this trend.When physical museums closed their doors in 2020, virtual visits became a lifeline for the art world.The Louvre,for example,saw a tenfold increase in online visitors during lockdown,with its online collection page receiving 17 million visits in March 2020 alone. Digital replicas allowed people to travel through time and space from their living rooms However,critics argue that virtual experiences can never replace the emotional impact of seeing a painting in person."There is something about the scale of a canvas,the texture of the paint,the light in the room,"said art historian Dr.Elena Rossi."A screen flattens these elements."Studies have shown that viewers spend an average of 28 seconds looking at a painting in person,but less than 5 seconds when viewing the same image online.The lack of contextthe hushed whispers of a gallery,the footsteps on a marble floor-diminishes the experience. Despite this,many museums see digital technology as a complement rather than a competitor.The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has experimented with augmented reality (AR)apps that allow visitors to point their phones at empty frames and see the original paintings restored to their former glory.The British Museum offers a"virtual reality"tour of prehistoric sites.These innovations aim to enhance,not replace,the real-world visit. As technology continues to evolve,the relationship between art and digital media will undoubtedly grow more complex.Perhaps the future lies not in choosing between real and virtual,but in finding ways to combine the two-a scenario where a virtual preview inspires a real-life visit,and a real-life visit deepens appreciation for the digital record. 1.What is the main benefit of digital technology for museums according to the passage? 2.How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect online visits to the Louvre? 3.What does art historian Dr.Elena Rossi think about viewing art online? 4.How does the Rijksmuseum use augmented reality? 5.According to the author,what might be the future relationship between digital and real-life museum visits? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Last month,a special art exhibition 1.
