5.While the arts can’t stop the COVID- 19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today , they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos .The arts invite everyone to think in new ways .
We often experience works of art as something that’s pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort . Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决) .Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges . In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities .
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully  through crises and chaos . He composed his Symphony No . 9  as his hearing  loss became more and more pronounced .  The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal  brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to Joy(欢乐颂).Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.

6.    Artists love using oil paints on canvases(帆布画布)  because of many advantaged. The slow drying process could seem as a disadvantage, especially for those who would rather finish their pieces faster. But for the majority of artists it is a plus because it provide them with enough time to work on an art work piece. Oil paints also come with bright colors, which are hard to wear. It is also much easier for the paints to mix with surrounding colors so an attractive art work is achieved.
    If you are new to oil painting, you should consider taking oil painting classes so that you can start off on a high level. But you can still use the following tips to start getting familiar with the painting and ensure that every one of your art work pieces reflects life.
    The 3D look is quite life like and it is actually possible to achieve this when painting with oil. To achieve the 3D look, paint the thick oil on the foreground(前景) of your painting and then thin it. In the end you create the 3D looks.
    Texture(纹理) is very important, especially on pieces with leaves, grass, crashing water waves and so on. By using a dry brush technique you can make sure the texture is able to be seen. When you hold the brush and draw to different directions you can create weathered(风化的) appearance of wood or make the water waves.
    Instead of adding a number of variations(变化) of the same color to avoid boring single color, create more interest on your oil painting by mixing colors. It may seem challenging at first, but once you master the technique it can be used on different types of oil painting.
1.If you want a good start in your oil painting , you’re advised to __________.

7.    The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local conditions, economic conditions for example. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries. History has witnessed the endless production of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert hall, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today's popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries in the future.
    In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because "the general principles of tastes are uniform(— 致的) in human nature," the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after 2,000 years. Works of this type, he believed, represented deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
    Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
1.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?
A.It introduces different cultural values.
B.It relates artistic values to local conditions.
C.It explains the history of artistic works in detail.
D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.
2.What does the author intend to show by mentioning the artists in Paragraph 2?
A.The charm of great art is universal and lasting.
B.Popular art is hardly different from great art.
C.Great artists are skilled at combing various cultures.
D.Great art refers to works of popular arts in the beginning.
3.According to Hume, what's the reason that some works of art can exist for centuries?
A.They are results of scientific study.
B.They establish general principles of art.
C.They are created by the world's greatest artists.
D.They reflect unchanging features of human nature.
4.Which of the following serves as the best title of the passage?
A.Is Popular Art Universal? B.Is Human Nature Uniform?
C.Is Great Art Permanent? D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?
8.    Like all cultural institutions, galleries and art fairs are adapting to a new reality.
    Art Basel Hong Kong, Asia's biggest contemporary-art fair, was cancelled because of covid-19, but anyone he who had planned to visit last week could enjoy an experimental alternative:the viewing room. At the click of a keyboard, you could enter an overall view but private visual salon, without having to brave the airless Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
    There, on one webpage, was Jeff Koon’s riffing(翻唱)on Botticelli's "Primavera" in a tribute to the history of painting at David Zwirner Gallery. Ota Fine Arts offered one collector the chance to acquire an "infinity(无限)room”, one of the most Instagrammed artworks of recent years- the creation of the fantasies, nonagenarian (九十多岁) Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. White Cube presented a large collection of international works by Andreas Gursky (German), Theaster Gates (American) and Beatriz Milhazes (Brazilian). But not every artist, gallery and form showed to equal advantage in this alternative fair. Not surprisingly, simple two-dimensional works in bright colours came across best No sculpture or conceptual art was included.
    Besides depth and texture, there are aspects of gallery hopping that a website is unlikely to copy. One is serendipity. The sense of wandering between artworks and encountering the unexpected. Another is sociability. Art is a communion between artist and viewer, but galleries and fairs are also places to swap opinions and share enthusiasms.
    There are ways to compensate (or these inevitable(不可避免的)disadvantages). As they shut their physical doors, some of the world's nest galleries and museums are offering advanced interactive visits, 360 degree videos and walk around tours of their collections, all without queues and high ticket prices. One of the best is laid on by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam; its tour allows visitors to view its Vermeers and Rembrandts, including the magnicent  "Night Watch”,  far more closely than would normally be possible. Another standout offering is from the Museu de Arte de SPaulo, which has an even broader collection. On its virtual platform, its pain tings, spanning 700 years, appear to be hanging in an open-plan space, seemingly hung on glass panels, or "crystal easels” as the museum calls them, ideal for close-up inspection.
1.From the paragraph 3, we may know________.
A."Primavera" was originally painted by JeKoons
B.“innity room” was the most popular artworks of recent years on social media
C.White Cube displayed a great many works by artists from different nations
D.Various paintings and statues showed on the webpage are well-received
2.What does the underlined word "serendipity" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.surprise B.treasure C.expectation D.compromise
3.What is the purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A.To introduce some popular art show in the world.
B.To show that there are some alternative ways to promote the display during covid-19 epidemic.
C.To prove that paintings hung on glass panels can be ideal for close-up inspection.
D.To release some information about some extraordinary art shows.
4.What is the best title?
A.Art beyond the internet. B.Fascinating art.
C.Art under covid-19. D.gallery hopping
9.    Two weeks ago, an article caught my attention. It was about a piece of digital art which had sold for $69 million. Beeple, the artist, made a collage(拼接画)of 5, 000 digital artworks. He's been posting his works to the internet daily since 2007. The most unusual thing about the piece, called "Everydays: The First 5000 Days," was that Beeple made it only on a computer, and it will only ever be available digitally. "Everydays" broke the record for the highest price for a digital piece, restarting the popular debate: Is digital art even "real art"?
    According to the Oxford Dictionary, art means anything that calls for creativity and a specific skill set. Both traditional art and digital art require specific skill sets. While traditional art demands a mastery of techniques like physical brush strokes(笔画)and color mixing, digital art needs expert knowledge about how to use various software tools to create different effects. Some argue that technological tools facilitate(促进)painting to a degree where it becomes cheating. But if I, a complete amateur, were to try to draw something digitally with all the tools available, I'd still fail badly. Traditional art and digital art just shouldn't be compared. They belong to different categories and require different technical masteries.
    While digital art and traditional art are of two separate categories, there are many artists who prefer using a combination of the two. It is more often that artists learn traditional art, and then move on to apply what they learned within the digital world. They are able to move the skills they acquired from one medium onto the other!
    As for its price, I think each artwork's value depends on personal tastes. While you might find one artwork to be a complete mess, others might find beauty in the chaos.
    Hopefully the new wave of digital art likely to be inspired by Beeple's record-breaking sale will be greeted with a more reasonable response.
1.What can we know about the collage?
A.It is only accessible digitally.
B.It was completed in 10 years.

2.Why do some people consider digital art cheating?

B.It has little to do with creativity.
C.It requires little expert knowledge.
D.It relies too much on technology.
3.What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A.More artists prefer traditional art.
B.More skills are required for digital art.
C.Traditional art learning should come first.
D.Digital and traditional art are interchangeable.
4.What is the author's attitude towards digital art?
A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
10.Known as “China’s most popular love comedy”, Romance of the Western Chamber is regarded as one of the best works of its time. The play was written over 700 years ago by Yuan Dynasty dramatist Wang Shifu (1260-1336).
Set in the Tang Dynasty, the play tells the secret love story between a young scholar Zhang Sheng, who is on his way to take the highest imperial exam in the capital city, and Cui Yingying, daughter of a chief minister of the Tang court.
After bandits(土匪) surround Cui at a temple, her mother promises her daughter’s hand in marriage to whoever can defeat them. Zhang manages to drive the bandits away, but Cui’s mother takes back her word because Zhang is poor. However, Zhang and Cui have already fallen in love. With the help of Cui’s maid Hong Niang, the two continue their romance and break many barriers.
The play incorporates much of the beauty of the poetry from the Tang and Song eras in Chinese history. Part of its appeal to readers is found in the style, grace and flow of the language. In fact, the play represents a high mark of achievement in romantic Chinese literature, and is quite popular. It has given rise to many sequels and rewritings, and also influenced countless plays, short stories and novels. The Peony Pavilion and Dream of the Red Chamber probably wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Wang’s classic play.
The play also inspired generations of artists across various mediums such as woodblock prints, paintings and porcelain(瓷器). This fine art is still on display at places such as Freer Gallery of Art in the US and Kwun Tong’s Sun Museum in Hong Kong.
The ancient porcelain pieces depicting(描述) iconic(标志性的) scenes from the tale are indeed impressive. The characters are like “the superheroes from another time” Rachel Leung, associate curator(副馆长) of Sun Museum told China Daily. “It’s exactly like the Marvel franchise.”
“This story is basically about trying to break the societal strictures. It’s about courage and perseverance to pursue true love,” Leung said. “It’s surprising to know that centuries ago our ancestors imagined a story like that. They proved that they were not rigid or passive and they could be creative enough to make things for themselves.”
Indeed, Romance of the Western Chamber is known for opposing traditional norms associated with marriage and love during a more orthodox era. It has a positive take on marriage, emphasizing that true love should prevail(占上风).
1.What can we know about Romance of the Western Chamber?
A.It represents the highest achievement in Chinese literature.
B.The characters in the story have supernatural powers.
C.It was composed earlier than The Peony Pavilion.
D.The appeal of the play is mainly found in its complex plot.
2.What can we infer from Rachel Leung’s statements?
A.Courage and perseverance are of vital importance to social connections.
B.Everyone should take a positive and unconventional attitude toward marriage.
C.Romance of the Western Chamber enjoys popularity among the Marvel fans.
D.It was believed that our ancestors were conservative and lacked creativity.
3.What does the underlined word “orthodox” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Open-minded. B.Conventional. C.Ambiguous. D.Dynamic.
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A.The Rise of China’s Love Comedies
B.Love Comes First
C.Marriage and Traditional Norms
D.Wang Shifu and His Most Popular Works

2.推理判断题。根据题干关键词 Rachel Leung 可定位至倒数第二段 "This story is basically about ... trying to break the societal strictures. It's about courage and perseverance to pursue true love," Leung said. "It's surprising to know that centuries ago our ancestors imagined a story like that. They proved that they were not rigid or passive and they could be creative enough to make things for themselves." 由作者 surprising 惊讶的态度可知,他认为试图打破社会的束缚,我们的祖先在几个世纪前就想象过这样的事,是非常令人惊讶。由此可推知,人们刻板印象中认为他们是死板或被动的,缺乏创造力。D项,“人们认为我们的祖先很保守,缺乏创造力。”符合文意。故正确答案为D。
3.词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段第二、三、四句  "This story is basically about ... trying to break the societal strictures. It's about courage and perseverance to pursue true love," "It's surprising to know that centuries ago our ancestors imagined a story like that. They proved that they were not rigid or passive and they could be creative enough to make things for themselves." 可知,《西厢记》试图打破束缚,追求真爱是需要勇气和毅力的,我们的祖先在几个世纪前就想象过这样的故事,是令人惊讶的。他们证明了自己不是死板或被动的,他们有足够的创造力为自己创造东西。”由此可知,《西厢记》作为以反对与婚姻和爱情相关的传统规范而闻名的典范应该是发生在传统的社会。由此可推知,orthodox 应该同义于“传统的”,B项,Conventional. “传统的”符合文意。故正确答案为B。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,全文主要讲述了在一个更为传统的时代《西厢记》以反对与婚姻和爱情相关传统规范而闻名,《西厢记》所传达出的为了追求真爱打破传统束缚的勇气和毅力,它对婚姻有积极的影响,强调真爱至上。由此可知,D项,“真爱至上”。符合文意,为最佳主旨。A项,“中国爱情喜剧的崛起”;D项,“王实甫和他最受欢迎的作品”;C项,“婚姻和传统规范”均以偏概全,不符合全文主旨内容。故正确答案为B。
