Many parents wnder why their children shuld study art. T sme, art is nice but useless. They cnsider it unnecessary t human existence. T thers, art is imprtant and meets sme human needs that can’t be met any ther way.
S what is the purpse f art?
The earliest art-cave drawings and the like-certainly had sme imprtant purpses. This type f art was a recrd f events, a means f sharing stries, and a way t pass n infrmatin. Peple created primitive (原始的) art t shw the wrld arund them — pictures were usually f animals, birds, plants, and humans in scenes f daily life, especially hunting.
In recent centuries, art has becme mre cmplicated. The spken and written wrds have becme ur majr means f cmmunicatin, s art can be mre than just a chrnicle f histric events r a way t share stries, althugh it still can be thse things as well.
Thrugh art, artists share their feelings in a way that brings n smething frm the viewers. The feelings ne experiences when viewing（看待） art may be pleasing r nt. The artist is trying t express smething; it’s up t yu t figure ut what that is. Art is a cnversatin between yu and the artist; they put themselves int their wrk, and yu bring yurself t yur explanatin f it. Because f the feelings that art can bring n — feelings that usually cannt be brught n by ther ways — art is necessary t human existence. Art meets ur needs fr self-expressin, cmmunicatin, and ur desire fr cnnectin with ther humans acrss centuries and cultures.
Nw, we can cnclude that art is very imprtant. Since it is imprtant, kids shuld learn it.
What d we knw abut the primitive art?
It didn’t have any imprtant purpses.
It was mainly abut peple’s daily life.
It was created mainly t entertain peple.
It was meant t help peple understand the wrld.
What des the underlined wrd “chrnicle” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Tl.B．Mirrr.C．Guide.D．Recrd.
Paragraph 5 mainly shws art’s use f .
making a livingB．explaining prblems
C．exchanging feelingsD．string infrmatin
The text is meant t shw that .
kids lve art fr a reasnB．children shuld study art
C．art is very imprtant t humansD．art is used fr different purpses

There was a strange stillness. Where had the birds gne? I was a spring withut bird vices. Only silence lay ver the fields and wds...
Rachel Carsn was a scientist, but these lines frm her 1962 bk Siln Spring shw her talent as writer. By imagining a wrld withut birds, she aimed t warn the scientific
cmmunity and the general public f the damaging effects f human activity n ecsystems-in particular, f the harmful use f pesticides（杀虫剂）,such as DDT. She believed that the chemical industry was knwingly(故意地) causing ham t plants, animals and even humans, and wished t see pesticides used in a mre respnsible, limited and carefully mnitred(监视的) way.
Silent Spring cntains a lt f scientific research and case studies, which prves sme prgrammes did nthing t reduce the prblems they were riginally designed t slve.
And the 50 r s pages at the end f the bk list Carsn’s surces, shwing hw thrugh and precise（精确的） she was as a scientist.
Carsn’s message has caused a great increase in envirnmental awareness: the use f
DDT was banned and the Envirnmental Prtectin Agency(EPA)was established in the US. Silent Spring was therefre regarded as a milestne（里程碑） in the launch f green mvement in the Western wrld.
Silent Spring was nt, hwever, received psitively by everyne. Thugh supprted by mst scientists, the bk quickly became a target（目标） fr critics in the pesticide industry. They said Carsn did nt understand the science because she was a marine bilgist rather than a chemist. Sme als said that her wrk was mre emtinal than scientific. These were attempts t damage Carsn’s reputatin（名誉） and stp her wrk frm influencing public plicy, but she remained determined t stand by her research.
Persnally, I enjyed Carsn’s bk. Tday, mre than 50 years after it was published, the vice f Silent Spring is still ringing lud and clear.
Why did Carsn describe a wrld withut birds?
T create a petic atmsphere.B. T shw Carsn’s talent as a writer.
T raise envirnmental awareness.
T aruse(唤醒） readers’ interest in science.
What d we knw abut Carsn?
She is a cmmitted（尽心尽力的） scientist.
She is an uninfluential bilgist.
She is a well-recgnized（公认的） chemist.
She is a prductive writer.
What was the pssible reasn why Carsn’s bk became a target fr critics? A．She culdn’t cntrl her emtin.B．She went against science.
C．She lacked scientific spirit.D．She threatened their prfit.
What is the text?
A．A bk review.B．A news jurnal.
C．A research article.D．A persnal prfile（简介）.

Even the number f flwers can be rude.
