Ⅳ.阅读理解

主题语境:人与社会　体裁:议论文

In Mark Turin’s article“Protecting Our Public Spaces” in issue 14,he claims that “all graffiti (涂鸦) is vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为),pure and simple,and offers no benefit to our public spaces”.I would like to point out that many people believe that graffiti is an art form that can benefit our public spaces just as much as sculptures,fountains,or other more accepted art forms.

People who object to graffiti usually do so more because of where it is,not what it is.They argue that posting graffiti in public places is considered an illegal act of property damage.But the location of such graffiti should not prevent the images themselves from being considered real art.

I would argue that graffiti is the most important public art form.Spray paint is a medium unlike any other.Through graffiti,the entire world has become a canvas (画布).These works of art dotting the urban landscape are available,free of charge,to everyone who passes by.

To be clear,I do not consider random words or names sprayed on stop signs to be art.Plenty of graffiti is just vandalism,pure and simple.However,there is also graffiti that is breathtaking in its complex detail,its realism,or its creativity.It takes great talent to create such involved designs with spray paint.Are these creators not artists just because they use a can of spray paint instead of a paintbrush?

To declare that all graffiti is vandalism,and nothing more,is an overly simplistic statement.Furthermore,graffiti is not going anywhere,so we might as well find a way to live with it and enjoy its benefits.One option could be to make a percentage of public spaces open to graffiti artists.By doing this,the public might feel like part owners of these works of art,rather than just the victims of a crime.

Dear Alice Bryant,

I’m glad you like music as much as I do.To tell you the truth,I like almost all kinds of music.In order to relax from the pressure of study,I always listen to light music.My favourite music is popular music and I’m a fan of many famous singers.I also like classical music,both home and abroad.And I also have made a lot of friends because of music.

Different people have different ideas about music.Some people like classical music,some like rock and others like light music.Anyway,music can do much good to us.We can’t live without music!

Yours,

Li Hua

Ⅵ.概要写作

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Among all the fast growing science and technology,the research of human genes,or biological engineering as people call it,is drawing more and more attention now.Discussions about it are increasingly heated around the world.

The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with,such as cancer and heart disease.Every year,millions of people are murdered by these two killers.And up to date,doctors have not found an effective way to cure them.But if the gene technology is applied,not only these two diseases can be cured completely,bringing happiness and more living days to the patients.but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved.Therefore,it benefits the economy as well.In addition,human life span(寿命)can be prolonged.

Some families have genetic diseases.This means their children will for sure have the family disease,which is a great trouble for these families.Gene technology can help people give birth to more healthy and clever children.In the past,doctors could do nothing about genetic diseases.But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly.Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it,and a healthy child will be born.

Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human beings in large quantities.In the past few years,scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice,sheep,and dogs.Therefore,these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned and that it would be beyond control,leading to some disastrous consequences.But many believe that cloned babies will not come out in large quantities,for most couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way and they also believe the governments will control gene technology and make laws to make sure the gene technology will help better our lives instead of harming us.
