inspiration．Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch visual artist．One way for him 2.to find （find） inspiration is 3.turning （turn） to his children’s toys．The famous Rubber Duck was one of his famous animal 4.sculptures （sculpture）．Floating Fish， his another work， was created from Chinese folk tales 5.passed （pass） down through the generations． 　　Tan Dun is most 6.widely （wide） known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger， Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics．Nine Songs， in 7.which he used a 8.combination （combine） of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world 9.to tell （tell） stories， is recognised by the whole world． 　　Dao Meilan， who is widely known 10.as the “Peacock Princess”， was born into a Dai family in Xishuangbanna and has dedicated her life to this art． What inspires you？ 　　Every artist’s wish is ［1］to create something that expresses an idea①． But where do artists get their ideas from？ Who or what inspires them？ Here we find out more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists． 　　Florentijn Hofman， visual artist 　　Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch artist， ［2］whose large sculptures are on display② all over the world．One way for him to find inspiration is ［3］turning to his children’s toys．These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures， such as the famous Rubber Duck．［4］A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish， which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone． 　　Hofman’s inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales③ passed down through the generations④．He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”．This story came to life⑤ for Hofman ［5］when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there． 　　“During the walk and my stay here in the town， I saw the fish ［6］being fed by people．You see also some fish ［7］sculpted on the wall．” These sights set Hofman’s idea for Floating Fish in motion⑥． 　　【释疑难】　［1］动词不定式作表语，其中that expresses an idea为定语从句，修饰先行词something。 　　［2］whose引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作定语。 　　［3］动词－ing形式作表语。 　　［5］when引导时间状语从句，其中how引导宾语从句。 　　［6］动词－ing形式的被动式作宾语补足语。 　　［7］动词－ed形式作宾语补足语。 【赏靓点】　［4］句中使用which引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明Floating Fish的背景。be set among（被安置在……之中）不仅表达了位置，更暗示了艺术作品与乌镇美丽风景的完美融合。 Paras.1－4 1.语块翻译 ①表达想法 ②在展出/展览 ③民间故事 ④使世代相传 ⑤变得生动、鲜活 ⑥使……开始 2.靓词 （1）turn to （Para.2） 赏析：turn to常见义为“转向”，此处引申为“寻求（帮助、灵感等）”，生动地体现了艺术家在寻找灵感时，视角的转换和对特定源泉的依赖。 （2）sculpt （Para.4） 赏析：sculpt通常作动词，意为“雕刻”。此处用过去分词作后置定语，形象地描绘了鱼的形象被深深地刻画在墙壁上的状态，暗示了当地文化对鱼的推崇。 　　Tan Dun， composer 　　“There is no territory in the world of music．” These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun．He is most widely known for⑦ composing music for the film Crouching Tiger， Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics． 　　［8］To listen to Tan’s music is to experience a mix of⑧ Chinese musical traditions and Western influences．Since his first opera， Nine Songs， Tan Dun has been using a combination of⑨ Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories⑩．［9］As Tan once said， Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world． 　　【释疑难】　［9］As引导非限制性定语从句。 【赏靓点】　［8］句运用了To do ．．． is to do ．．．（做某事就是做某事）的平行结构，形式工整，韵律感强。这种定义式的句型有力地概括了谭盾音乐的核心特征：中西合璧。 Paras.5－6 1.语块翻译 ⑦作为……而出名 ⑧……的融合 ⑨……的结合/组合 ⑩讲故事 2.熟词生义/靓词 （1）territory （Para.5） 熟义：n．领土；地区 文中义：n．界限；范畴 （2）carry （Para.6） 赏析：carry在此处不是“搬运”，而是“承载，包含”。它赋予了中国音乐一种厚重的使命感——作为载体，将人类共通的精神传递给世界。 　　Dao Meilan， dancer 　　Dao Meilan’s passion is dancing．［10］Widely known as the “Peacock Princess”， she has dedicated her life to⑪ this art．Born into a Dai family in Xishuangbanna， Yunnan Province， Dao showed her talent for dancing from an early age⑫．Her inspiration has come from the rich cultural heritage⑬ and traditional stories of her home town， ［11］which often feature the peacock， ［12］a symbol of natural beauty and good luck．She created amazing dances to bring out⑭ the charm of the beautiful birds and the local people’s lives．One of her most famous works is The Golden Peacock．Through years of effort， she has made her dances into a graceful picture⑮ of Dai culture， for audiences in China and around the world． 　　“In China， I dance to represent the Dai people， and abroad， I dance to represent China．［13］A true artist must carry the spirit of their country in their heart，” said Dao． 　　【释疑难】　［10］动词－ed短语作状语。 　　［11］which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰home town。 　　［12］作名词the peacock的同位语。 【赏靓点】　［13］句是全文的主旨升华。must carry语气坚定，强调了艺术家的责任感。spirit of their country（国家精神）与in their heart（内心）的结合，深刻地指出了伟大的艺术灵感最终来源于对故土和民族深沉的爱。 Paras.7－8 1.语块翻译 ⑪ 她毕生致力于…… ⑫ 从小 ⑬ 文化遗产 ⑭ 使显示 ⑮ 优美的画卷 2.熟词生义/靓词 （1）feature （Para.7） 熟义：n．特征；容貌 文中义：v．以……为特色；主要介绍 （2）picture （Para.7） 赏析：作者运用隐喻，将流动的舞蹈比作静止而永恒的“画卷”，形象地赞美了刀美兰的舞蹈不仅具有动态美，更具有像画作一样深远的文化记录价值。 参考译文 你的灵感从哪儿来？ 　　每位艺术家都希望通过创作表达自己的理念。而这些理念从何而来？是谁，抑或是什么启发了他们？下面，我们进一步发掘了三位大不相同的艺术家成功背后的因素。 　　弗洛伦泰因•霍夫曼，视觉艺术家 　　弗洛伦泰因•霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家，他创作的大型雕塑在世界各地进行展出。他的孩子们的玩具是他的一个灵感来源。霍夫曼从这些玩具身上得到启发，从而创作出动物形状的雕塑，比如著名的“大黄鸭”。他最近的新作是一条巨大的“浮鱼”，位于风景宜人的乌镇西栅景区内。 　　霍夫曼表示，“浮鱼”的灵感源自世代相传的中国民间故事。他对“鲤鱼跃龙门”的古老故事尤其感兴趣。当霍夫曼游览乌镇，看到当地居民的生活时，这个故事立马生动地浮现于他的脑海中。 　　“我住在镇上期间，当我散步的时候，看到人们在喂鱼。你也可以看到墙上还有鱼形的浮雕。”这些画面让霍夫曼渐渐浮现出创作“浮鱼”的念头。 　　谭盾，作曲家 　　“音乐的世界没有边界。”中国作曲家谭盾如是说。这位著名的作曲家曾为电影《卧虎藏龙》配乐，并为2008年北京奥运会创作音乐。 　　欣赏谭盾的音乐，就是在感受中国音乐传统和西方影响的交融。从他的第一部歌剧《九歌》开始，谭盾一直在用中国音乐和来自世界各地的乐音讲述故事。他曾说过，中国音乐要承载人文精神的“共同理念”，才能被世界认可。 　　刀美兰，舞蹈家 　　刀美兰毕生挚爱舞蹈。这位被誉为“孔雀公主”的艺术家，将生命全然奉献于这门艺术。她出生于云南省西双版纳的傣族家庭，自幼展露非凡舞蹈天赋。其创作灵感源于家乡深厚的文化遗产与传统故事——其中孔雀常作为自然之美与吉祥的象征出现。她以曼妙舞姿诠释孔雀灵韵与傣族人民的生活意趣，其代表作《金孔雀》更是惊艳世人。经年耕耘，她将傣族舞蹈化作一幅流动的文化画卷，向中国乃至世界观众展现民族艺术的瑰丽。 　　刀美兰曾言：“在国内起舞时，我代表的是傣族人民；走向世界舞台时，我代表的是中国。真正的艺术家，心中必怀祖国之魂。” Part Ⅱ　Language points Ⅰ．阅读词汇 1.the traditional Dutch costume 荷兰传统服装 2.crouch in a seat　　蹲伏在座位上 3.as proud as a peacock　　如孔雀般骄傲 4.Princess

inspired generations of photography lovers．This includes Nick Micheels， who transformed his love for Adams’ work into an incredible idea for a LEGO set．Micheels spent one month designing the 1，100－piece set， which he then posted to the LEGO Ideas website．Called “The Landscape Photographer”， Micheels’ idea was selected as a Staff Pick and is nearing the 10，000 votes． 　　Like many of us， Micheels enjoyed playing with LEGOs during childhood， but felt he’d grown out of the hobby．However， during the pandemic （流行病）， he rediscovered his passion and started designing LEGO sets， which he posts on LEGO Ideas under the name Lobster Thermidor． 　　Micheels himself is a photographer and has admired Adams’ work since he was a child．So， it only seemed natural to translate his love for the American photographers’ works into a LEGO set． 　　This set includes Adams’ famous large 8×10 camera， which can be placed on top of a LEGO touring car — just as Adams did to get the best view for his photos．It also has LEGO versions of yellow monkeyflowers and a ponderosa pine tree， recreating the nature Adams loved．The choice of leaves is no accident either．Micheels selected plants native to the photographer’s beloved Yosemite National Park． 　　For Micheels， the most challenging part of creating the LEGO set was recreating Adams’ camera on a small scale （尺寸）．In a similar fashion， Micheels went through several designs before arriving at the final version．He explained， “I really wanted to get as many details right as I could．I even made a second lens so you can change lenses if necessary．” 　　With over 8，500 votes on LEGO Ideas， “The Landscape Photographer” is on track to hit 10，000 supporters．Once that happens， the official LEGO team will take a look at the design in order to determine if it’s suitable for production．For Micheels， it would be a dream to see his design on the shelves and to have the chance to build it with his kids． 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了乐高爱好者Nick Micheels受著名风景摄影师Ansel Adams的启发，设计了一款名为“风景摄影师”的乐高套装，详细介绍了其中的设计细节、面临的挑战以及该套装未来成为官方产品的可能性。 1.What inspired Micheels to create the LEGO set “The Landscape Photographer”？（　　） A．The rediscovery of his enthusiasm for designing． B．His childhood memories of playing with LEGOs． C．His desire to win votes on the LEGO Ideas website． D．The admiration for Ansel Adams’ landscape photography． 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的Ansel Adams has inspired generations of photography lovers和This includes Nick Micheels可知，Micheels的创作灵感源于他对Adams风景摄影作品的欣赏。 2.What is paragraph 4 mainly about？（　　） A．Micheels’ efforts to present the scene Adams valued． B．The impact of the local environment on Micheels’ design． C．Adams’ philosophy behind photography in his lifetime． D．The unique features of Adams’ photography style． 解析：A　段落大意题。根据第四段可知，该套装包含Adams著名的 8×10 相机、可放置相机的旅行车，以及约塞米蒂国家公园的本土植物。由此可知，该段主要描述了Micheels如何通过乐高设计精确还原Adams的摄影装备和自然场景，体现了其为呈现相关场景所付出的努力。 3.What does the addition of a second lens to the LEGO camera primarily reflect？（　　） A．A move to show off his skills． B．A way to handle a complicated design． C．A commitment to achieving perfection． D．A solution to the technical limitations． 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第五段末Micheels做的解释可知，增加第二个镜头的做法是为了更真实地还原相机细节，反映了Micheels追求完美的态度。 4.What can be inferred about the future of “The Landscape Photographer” LEGO set？（　　） A．It might generate significant profits through mass sales． B．It may become an official product with enough backing． C．It could help Micheels to pursue a LEGO design career． D．It is likely to become a best－seller in the LEGO collection． 解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句可推知，如果该设计获得10，000名支持者，就有机会被乐高官方评估并可能投入生产。 B 　　（2026•山东济宁期中）Pieter Bruegel’s symbolic 1565 painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art．The work showed people harvesting wheat nearly as tall as they were．“Nowadays， however， if you walk through a wheat field， you basically see that wheat is about knee－height．The reduced height is essentially a consequence of breeding （培育） along with genes for increasing production to feed a growing population，” biologist De Smet explained． 　　De Smet says wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can allow us to track the development of food crops over time．He teamed up with art historian Vergauwen， a friend since childhood， to document such artwork around the world．They have been mainly looking at things where they can spot changes in shape， color and size． 　　Their interest in plants in artwork began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum， where they noticed an odd－looking watermelon in an early－17th－century painting．It appeared to be pale and white on the inside．Biologist De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job．But art historian Vergauwen had a different idea．“No， this is one of the best painters ever from that time．So if he painted it like that， that’s the way it must have looked like，” he explained． 　　Other paintings revealed that both red and white watermelons were grown during the 17th century．“With all the genetic knowledge we now have， we can look in more details how something comes about，” De Smet said．“For example， until the 18th century， European strawberries appeared tiny in paintings — they then grew in size as they were crossbred with North American varieties．” 　　Ultimately， the team hopes to create an online research database of historical plant artworks．They seek the contributions of art fans around the world over the social media．“However，” Vergauwen reminds，“if you’re going to use， for example， Picasso to try and understand how a pear looked in the early 20th century， you might be misled．” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了生物学家De Smet和艺术史学家Vergauwen通过研究历史艺术品中的植物图像，追踪食物作物随时间的发展变化，并计划创建在线研究数据库的相关情况。 5.What can we learn about the painting The Harvesters？（　　） A．It shows how people successfully grew wheat． B．It proves that wheat was much shorter in the past． C．It explains the consequence of different breeding methods． D．It gives clues about how wheat in the 16th century looked like． 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的The work showed ．．． nearly as tall as they were．可知，《收割者》这幅画展示了 16 世纪麦子几乎和人一样高的样子。 6.What inspired the research team to start their study？（　　） A．Their preference for food crops． B．Their distinct views on an old painting． C．Their friendship since childhood． D．Their shared interest in Hermitage Museum． 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的Their interest in plants in artwork ．．． had a different idea．可知，两位专家对一幅古老画作的不同看法激发了研究团队开始这项研究。 7.What does Vergauwen say about the plant research in the last paragraph？（　　） A．Art lovers are not careful enough． B．Historical artworks often misled researchers． C．Not all historical plant artworks are reliable． D．Picasso’s paintings are hard to understand． 解析：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段Vergauwen的提醒可推知，Vergauwen认为并非所有的历史艺术品在反映植物真实样貌上都是可靠的。 8.What is the purpose of the text？（　　） A．To introduce a study on crop development． B．To comment on historical plant paintings． C．To inform readers of a scientific breakthrough． D．To tell interesting stories behind plant artworks． 解析：A　推理判断题。通读全文可推知，文章主要介绍了一项通过历史艺术品追踪作物发展的研究。 C 　　（2026•河北沧州月考）In an era characterized by burnout， a therapeutic （有疗效的） alternative is hanging on a gallery wall．When volunteers at London’s Courtauld Gallery stood before Van Gogh’s Self－Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Manet’s A Bar at the
