213175. （2023•高新一中•高二上期中） What Makes Art Valuable？ Why do people buy art？An even bigger question is，why do people pay tens of millions of dollars to own art？Is it for status，prestige（威望），and approval from peers？One thing to remember is that value isn't only linked to its artist quality.（1）       Provenance
   In the art world，an artwork's value can be the result of provenance.In other words，who has owned the painting in the past.（2）       The masterpiece went from a value of less than 10，000 when David Rockefeller first owned it，to upwards of 72 million when it was later sold by Sotheby's.
   The Thrill of Auction（拍卖）
   The salerooms at Christie's or Sotheby's are full of billionaires—or better yet，their advisors.（3）       They know when to bump up a lot and when to slightly tip the scales.They're running the show and it's their job to make sure the highest bidder（出价者）has a shot and that values soar.
   Historical Significance
   Historical significance works in a couple of ways when it comes to determining the value of art.Firstly，you can consider the piece in terms of its importance to art history in its genre.For example，a painting by Claude Monet is worth more than other more recent impressionist work since Monet changed the standard of art history and impressionism as a whole.（4）       After all，art is often a reflection of the culture of its time and as it became a product，art was affected by political and historical changes.
   （5）       Whether in a perfect storm of passion and desire or a calculated risk of business deals and rewards，art collectors continue to spend millions upon millions each year at art auctions.What makes art valuable beyond the cost of supplies and labor？We may never truly understand.

A.World history also affects the value of art.
B.It's interesting to explore what makes art valuable.
C.It seems as though all of these factors combine to determine the value of art.
D.Auctioneers are skilled salesmen who help raise those prices up and up and up.
E.It's obvious that changes in polities have a historical effect on the value of art to different people.
F.For instance，art describing beautiful women tends to be sold for higher prices than that of beautiful men.
G.For example，Mark Rothko's White Center was owned by the Rockefeller family，one of America's most powerful dynasties.

[答案]

（1）﹣（5）BGDEC

[解析]

（1）联系上文题。上文One thing to remember is that value isn't only linked to its artist quality.（需要记住的一点是，价值不仅与艺术家的素质有关。）提到了艺术价值不仅与艺术家的素质有关，空格处的句子应该是一个承上启下的句子，根据下面介绍的影响艺术价值的三个因素可知，空格处的句子的内容应该提到影响艺术价值的因素。而B项（探索是什么让艺术有价值是很有趣的）"填入空格处，可以引起下文，符合题意。故选B项。
（2）联系下文题。根据空格后的句子The masterpiece went from a value of less than ＄10，000 when David Rockefeller first owned it，to upwards of ＄72 million when it was later sold by Sotheby's.（大卫•洛克菲勒最初拥有它时，这幅杰作的价值不到1万美元，后来在苏富比售出时，价格已超过7200万美元）和句中的the masterpiece可知，空格处的句子应该提到某一杰作。所以G项（例如，马克•罗斯科的《白色中心》属于洛克菲勒家族——美国最强大的王朝之一）"填入空格处，和下文是顺接关系，符合题意。故选G项。
（3）联系下文题。根据该部分的主题The Thrill of Auction（拍卖的刺激）可知，该部分是说拍卖对艺术品价值的影响，所以空格处的句子也应该和拍卖有关；再由空格后的句子They know when to bump up a lot and when to slightly tip the scales.（他们知道什么时候该大刀阔斧，什么时候该略微倾斜）可知，句中的"他们"对艺术品价值有影响，句中的they指的是谁，空格处的句子应该提到。D项（拍卖师是熟练的推销员，他们帮助提高价格）"提到了拍卖的事，且下一句中的they就是指的D项中的Auctioneers。故选D项。
（4）联系下文题。根据空格后的句子After all，art is often a reflection of the culture of its time and as it became a product，art was affected by political and historical changes.（毕竟，艺术往往是其时代文化的反映，当它成为一种产品时，艺术受到政治和历史变化的影响）和句中的after all可知，空格后的句子是对空格处的句子进行解释——当它成为一种产品时，艺术受到政治和历史变化的影响。所以空格处的句子肯定应该提到政治和历史变化对艺术的影响。所以E项（很明显，政治变局对艺术于不同人群的价值产生了历史影响）"填入空格处，符合题意。故选E项。
（5）主旨大意题。在最后一段，空格处的句子应该是一个总结性的句子。C项（似乎所有这些因素共同决定了艺术的价值）"说是上面提到的这些因素共同决定了艺术的价值，总结了全文，符合题意。故选C项。

204885. （2022•长安区一中•高二上期末） Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible.The magician is a specially trained actor.He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature.
   Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done.The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands，on his knowledge of psychology，and，sometimes，on mechanical devices.Since magic performance is meant to trick people，the use of psychology is important.The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions.The magician's success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.
   Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear.A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects.For example，the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups.The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.What actually happens is that the magician，employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device，hides one ball.While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand.The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician's words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.
   Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something，and then make it appear whole again.What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.Then he "magically" makes it appear whole again by displaying another object that has not been cut or burned.

（1）Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick？
A．Moving stage equipment.
B．Keeping the performance in secret.
C．Applying high technology.
D．Directing the audience's attention.
（2）What does the underlined word "employing" mean in paragraph 3？
A．Hiring.
B．Using.
C．Engaging.
D．Moving.
（3）How does the author develop the last two paragraphs？
A．By explaining a concept.
B．By making a summary.
C．By drawing comparisons.
D．By providing examples.
（4）What's the passage mainly about？
A．The secrets behind the art of magic.
B．The ways to be magicians.
C．The attractions of the magic show.
D．The talents of magicians.

202262. （2022•西安三中•五模） CHAITANYA Tamhane's The Disciple （produced by Netflix） could just as well have been titled "discipline".This is the quality that the hero named Sharad （Aditya Modak） has to organize his life around，and we witness both his patience and frustrations as he comes to terms with the possibility that he might never find a proper position in the world he loves.Is he good enough，as a singer or as a student？It is a question unanswered in the film.
   It is a story about the relationship between art and artists.It shows us the confusion Sharad，an Indian classical music fan，is faced with after years of pursuit of music dream.Even though he is anxious about his poverty and ordinariness，he continues to study day after day.He shows great respect for his teacher，a distinguished old musician，treating his teacher like his father.However，when he finds out his teacher is not as respectable as he thought，he begins to question whether it is worth his efforts or not.
   Slow-paced as this Marathi film may seem，it becomes a hypnotic experience as you become invested in the central character and his journey.The narrative moves around in time，giving us glimpses of Sharad's poor childhood and the present day，where he tries to draw help from audio recordings of talks by the late teacher named Maai （voiced by Sumitra Bhave）.Tamhane's long takes and almost-unchanging shots — characteristic of his earlier feature Court — work wonderfully for this subject matter.In the musical performances，the camera sometimes moves only very slightly forward，as if mindful of disturbing the performers' space.
   The Disciple is also driven by its attention to detail and its many little vignettes（简介） — the mildly regretted look on Sharad's face when his teacher tells him，mid-performance and in front of a seated audience， "No，you aren't listening"，or the slow upgrade to hostility（敌意） when the mother of one of his students asks that her boy should be allowed to take time off to perform with a "rock" band.

（1）Why can the film also be titled "discipline"？
A．The film questions the significance of discipline.
B．The film talks about the role that discipline plays in music.
C．The hero is a self-disciplined person and has experienced a lot.
D．The hero doubts whether discipline can lead to his dream.
（2）What does the underlined word "hypnotic" mean in the third paragraph？
A．Dull.
B．Fascinating.
C．Tough.
D．Heart-breaking.
（3）What has Sharad NOT experienced in the story？
A．The deep love for classical music.
B．The depression of not realizing his dream.
C．The poverty in his childhood.
D．The praise from his teacher.
（4）In which section of a newspaper can the text appear？
A．Education.
B．Entertainment.
C．Science.
D．Lifestyle.

204041. （2023•西安中学•高一下期末） Art is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why，then，is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school，insignificant to wider society，a waste of time and effort？
   Art can connect culture with commercial （商业的） products in a way that not many other things can；art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert，they are paying for music，sure，maybe even hotel rooms，meals，and transport，but they also gain an incredible experience，a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore，they want to experience life — the arts are a perfect crossover （交迭） between culture and commerce.
   Furthermore，the arts can bring communities together，reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion，and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events is significant to a nation's experience.
   The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not；more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's well-being.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art，when used in hospitals，help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress，anxiety and blood pressure.
   Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education：those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development；encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
   Vital to human life，art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still，for art is a part of what makes us human.

（1）Art products differ from most other commercial products because        .
A．most people purchase them for collection

212829. （2024•师大附中•高一下期中）     English history is vast，from its rule under the Romans to the rise，heights and fall of the British Empire.When choosing a book to recommend on my country's history，I wanted something that could summarize this sweeping history but didn't get stuck in the details of things that hold me back from completely engaging with this truly rich history.Then，I found Dominic Hnynes' A Brief History of England.
    The book is a tour through the whole of English history，from its earliest people to the movement of settlers from Europe.It looks at the Battle of Hastings in 1066，Elizabeth I's ruling and the lasting impact of Shakespeare.Then it touches on the English Civil Wars and the shift of rule from kings and queens to the parliament（议会） running the country and the establishment of the political parties.It also covers the Napoleonic Wars and the world wars and even considers England's post-Brexit （脱欧后的） present and future.
    This really is quite the sweeping book.However，it's very short.This means it's easy to navigate and get a hold of a huge amount of history，but it also means it's very light on the details.At times，this can be upset，as there are parts where it feels like just another paragraph or page would really elevate this book.But for an introduction to English history or perhaps a reminder or refresher，it's great and particularly useful as it is likely to fill in some gaps in your knowledge.
    Furthermore，because of the pace of the book，there's not a boring moment.It's a real page-turner，covering the succession（交替） of kings and queens，wars，and changes in the social order of the country at home and the country's influence across the world.
    One reviewer on Amazon described the book as "a small masterpiece"，and said. "This is a great book for anyone who wants to get a c-ash course in English history or for those who want a quick reference to that subject."
    So，jump in，dear readers，and get a hold of what made England what it was，what it went on to be，and where it may stand in our global future.

（1）What is the main focus of Dominic Haynes' A Brief History of England？
A．Detailed exploration of England's political parties.
B．In-depth analysis of England's post-Brexit policies.
C．An introduction to the British Empire's rise and fall.
D．A brief overview of England's historical shifts and events.
（2）What is a weakness mentioned of the reviewer regarding the book？
A．Its pace is slow and upset.
B．It dives too deeply into political issues.
C．There's a shortage of information on wars.
D．It lacks detailed information due to itortness.
（3）Which of following can best explain the underlined word "page-turner"？
A．A book that is exciting to read.
B．A book that is complicated.
C．A book that is easy to understand.
D．A book that has lots of pages to turn.
（4）What is the main purpose of this text？
A．To call on people to know the UK's history.
B．To recommend a book of the UK's history.
C．To suggest ways to know the UK's history.
D．To comment on the politics of the UK's history.

202026. （2022•西安中学•五模） There is more to Vincent Van Gogh's body of works than sunflowers.His complete painting life as an artist，short as it was，can be seen on June 27 during an exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts（MFA） Texas.
   This exhibit leans heavily on the Kr?ller- Müller Museum's lending Van Gogh's works.The Kr?ller- Müller Museum，which is in Otterlo，Netherlands，is well-known for its works by Van Gogh in the world.The MFA，Texas serves as the only site for the exhibit presenting more than 50 works from Van Gogh's early sketches（素描） to late oil paintings.
   "There has been no major Van Gogh exhibition in Texas for decades，and few of this degree and ambition anywhere in the country." David Bomford said. "The upcoming exhibition covers the whole of Van Gogh's all-too-brief ten-year career.It offers people in Texas and even people all over the country a chance to step into the world of Van Gogh.The works selected for exhibit shows Van Gogh's career which began in dark，realistic style reflecting mid-19th century France and concluded in the wild，psychological paintings of his final years."
   Van Gogh successfully experimented with artistic techniques from the Barbizon-school's （巴比松画
派的） representative，Millet，whose works he liked above all others，to Cezanne.Van Gogh didn't care for Cezanne before landing on Cezanne's unique style which continued amazing audiences for more than 125 years after his death.Cezanne's style is hard to ignore in many of Van Gogh's works.
   Van Gogh wasn't a lone talent working in isolation（隔离）.He was influenced.He was a great student of art.In order to enable visitors to have a good knowledge of his private thoughts about the works he created，the exhibit will present the extraordinarily rich letters which existed between him and his brother Theo. "In some 820 letters，Van Gogh described his projects and his whole attention.All letters were dotted with sketches of his paintings，" a worker said. "The MFA uniquely admits us to the workings of his mind and his motivations.And this has inviting appeal to us today."

203823. （2024•周至四中•高二上期末）     I am a big laugher.I've been told that even in a room of a thousand people，you can alwayear me laughing over the crowd.For me，laughter is the ultimate form of embodied joy.And by "embodied"，I mean that my whole body is involved when I laugh.On the inside，it's like a bubbling fountain of joy spilling out all over the place.
    But what is joy，anyway？
    Life can be terrible，but if you decide to follow the sound of the joy-fountain，you will find joy showing up in all kinds of places：pets playfully bouncing around，kindness，or even in nothingness.
    How can joy be found？A friend moved into a new apartment and needed some help，so I helped him.Afterwards，he was obviously so much happier and at ease.I noticed that playing even a small part in his happiness brought me great joy，and I took a moment to let this feeling of embodied joy in.We can practice letting joy in by noticing how it feels to smile.Where does your body light up when you smile？When I smile，it makes me want to take a deep breath，and I notice my shoulders and belly relaxing.When I embody caring and loving，it feels great!
    Sadly，many of us are unaware of joy，or suspicious of it.Maybe you are afraid to open up to joy，or maybe you are so unfamiliar with what joy feels like that you ignore or resist it when it comes knocking.No one，other than you，owns your happiness，but you might unknowingly block feelings or experiences that help you embody joy.The fact is that when you can't embody joy，you miss out on one of life's essential vitamins.
    Want more joy？Don't be afraid to look silly.Silliness helps us take things less personally.It helps us see the world the way a kid does.When we can find more joy in the smalls of everyday life，we can embody happiness，rather than just pursuing it.

（1）How is the topic of joy introduced at the beginning of the passage？
A．By highlighting a joyful experience.
B．By stressing the importance of laughing.
C．By sharing the author's understanding of joy.
D．By presenting an ultimate form of satisfaction.
（2）What might be the author's advice on finding joy？
A．Taking a deep breath.
B．Smiling to your friends.
C．Reflecting on nothingness.
D．Doing small acts of kindness.
（3）What might be the reason for many of us missing out on joy？
A．That many of us refuse it on purpose.
B．That many of us are insensitive to joy.
C．That many of us lack life's essential vitamins.
D．That many of us are likely to take joy for granted.
（4）What message does the author convey in this text？
A．He who laughs last laughs best.
B．Happy people are happy in childhood.
C．Worry does not seek，but man seeks it.
D．Love of joy is belief；the creation of joy is life.

205155. （2022•西安八十九中•高一下期末） From classic books like A Wrinkle in Time to classic movies like Back to the Future，children and adults both have been fascinated by the concept of time travel for hundreds of years.But is it even possible？
   Time travel sounds simple：you just move back and forth between different points in time like you would between different points in space.You could jump forward into the future，or you can jump back to sometime in the past.
   Exactly how would this be done？Most artistic works that feature time travel finish it with the help of a special device usually called a time machine.The time machine features whatever technology has been developed to transport people successfully to other points in time.
   But could time travel really happen？Some scientists believe that parts of Albert Einstein's theories of special and general relativity might allow for the possibility of time travel.These theories are complex and very hard to understand.They involve unusual astronomical things like black holes and wormholes.Traveling faster than the speed of light might also be required.
   It can be fun，though，to think about what problems might be presented by time travel.It may create an absurd situation.For example，let's say that you travel back in time to the day your parents met.What if your showing up on the day your parents met caused a ripple （连锁反应） in time that led to them not meeting？If they had never met，you would never have been born.If you had never been born，how could you ever exist to travel back in time to cause the problem you just caused？Though it may sound confusing，we hope that any scientist who ever manages to make time travel possible works out these problems in advance.

（1）What kind of film is Back to the Future most likely to be？
A．An action film.
B．A fantasy film.
C．A historical film.
D．A romantic film.
（2）What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 2？
A．Add a topic.
B．Give an example.
C．Explain a concept.
D．Make a conclusion.
（3）What is some scientists' judgment on the possibility of time travel based on？
A．Previous similar cases.
B．Accurate scientific research.
C．Some scientific theories.
D．Advanced space technology.
（4）What does the author think of time travel？
A．It will certainly come true one day.
B．It is an possible and absurd idea.
C．It will change some historical events.
D．It may cause confusion with time and space.

201949. （2023•周至县•三模） A new study suggests classic paintings by well-known Impressionists Joseph Turner and Claude Monet may have been influenced by air pollution during the Industrial Revolution.
    The study，published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by authors from Harvard and Sorbonne universities，analyzed 60 oil paintings by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet from 1864 to 1901.
    Scientists don't know exactly how polluted the cities were during that time for lack of data.However，researchers say examining the works of Turner and Monet can give a picture of long-term environmental change with the air pollution.
    In particular，researchers said changes in local sulfur dioxide emissions from burning coal may explain changes in the colour contrast and intensity of Tuner，Monet，and others' works，even after taking into account the artistic trends and subject matter of the time.
    Scientists successfully measured painters' representation of nature，focusing on differences in local weather patterns which influenced colour in works painted in different parts of Europe.Paintings' done in Britain generally feature a paler blue sky than other works in other parts of the continent.Generally，artists can historically accurately represent their environment，so Turner and Monet were chosen because they are famous for their landscape and cityscape paintings and also because they were active during the Industrial Revolution，when air pollution grew at a rate never seen before.
    Additionally，researchers say that as the air in London and Paris became more polluted，the cities would appear hazier to the eyes as well as in photographs.By comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet to pictures from the era，they were able to determine the artists were at least partly influenced by the change in emissions.

（1）What did the researchers find in the works of Turner and Monet？
A．Change in subject matter.
B．Air pollution at that time.
C．Social trends of the period.
D．Development of photography.
（2）The researchers conduct the study by        .
A．referring to relevant historical records
B．comparing the paintings of Turner and Monet
C．relating the paintings to the air conditions then
D．analyzing the data during the Industrial Revolution
（3）What can we learn from Paragraph 5？
A．European artists preferred landscape paintings.
B．Scientists focused on studying weather patterns.
C．Turner and Monet intended to present pollution.
D．Britain suffered from air pollution most in Europe.
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To inform people of a new discovery.
B．To instruct people to appreciate paintings.
C．To introduce the Industrial Revolution.
D．To call on people to protect the environment.

212983. （2023•长安区一中•高一上期中）     The question of whether it is possible to separate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time.Even though positive critical reviews about an artist's behavior can improve their artistic achievements，people should treat artists as individuals who have lived apart from their work.
    One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings.Like any other human being，an artist can make mistakes，and we cannot be severely judgmental of every person that falls into error.Cancel culture with endless criticism is concerned more with how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weakness can be used by the artists to create art that is unique.
    Perhaps Kevin Hart's words support this thought.He asks "When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect？Where people were supposed to operate perfectly all the time？" When people start seeing artists as human beings，they'll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity.
    It should be also noted that there are works of art that are inspired by the artist's experience.For example，the themes in the Harry Potter books are so connected with J.K.Rowling's wicked worldview that it is actually impossible to separate the two from each other.Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer，artists become tense and unwilling to express themselves，which will kill creativity，eventually leading to the death of art.Comedians，singers or painters who should be mixing contemporary（当代的） issues with their works become boring，and art stops functioning as the social mirror it ought to be.
    An artist who makes mistakes still has art with intrinsic （内在的） value，benefiting entire communities or cultures，For instance，one can respect the late Michael Jackson because of how he influenced pop music and the inclusion of black musicians in mainstream media despite his personal weaknesses，opinions，worldviews and associations.
    While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior，the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future.Some would refer to this process as a cycle.Good art should，therefore，be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist.

（1）Which would Kevin Hart probably agree with？
A.Artistould be evaluated based on their humanity time.
B.If artists have weaknesses，we'd better cancel them.
C.Artists' shortcomings might be their inspiration.
D.People should perform perfectly all the time.
（2）Why will "cancel culture" lead to the death of art？
A.Artists will be unwilling to create any artwork.
B.Artists will stop concerning with contemporary issues.
C.Artworks are unavoidably inspired by artists' experiences.
D.Artists will lose their desire for expression and creativity.
（3）How can an artist with mistakes benefit others？
A.The artist's art may give others ideas of artistic creation.
B.The artist will benefit entire communities or cultures.
C.The artist's opinions may inspire heated discussion.
D.The artist may make some new words popular.
（4）Which would be the best title of the passage？
A.Judge Art Due to Its Value
B.Separate the Art From the Artist
C.Regard Artists as Human Beings
D.Stop Criticizing Artists' Behavior

204809. （2022•周至四中•高二下期末） The word "music" is easier to use in practice than to explain.Music is a reminder（提醒物） of how things once were，a symbol of how things are and a view of where society is headed.Music can bring us back to memories we wish to never forget，or bring us hope when we feel that all is lost.According to Nietzsche， "Nothing is worth living for without music."And Albert Einstein once said，" Without the music education in my childhood，I would succeed in nothing."
   Most of us enjoy different kinds of music just to entertain（娱乐）.Are there other reasons for us to listen to music？Some types of music can make us feel relaxed.After a long workday，classical music or certain types of jazz can physically relax our bodies and take our attention away from the cares of the day—at least for a while.On the other hand，loud，fast music with a strong beat can excite us.In fact，sometimes we may prefer one kind of music，but at other times，that's the last thing we want to listen to.
   Music also affects our feelings.Movie music can most clearly show this.If you close your eyes in an action movie or a disaster movie，you can pretty much tell what's happening on the screen by the music alone.The same is true for a love story.Film composers（作曲家） such as John Williams get paid big money for their ability to change your feelings from moment to moment.So what do you think of music？Clearly，music and feelings are closely connected in some non-physical way.

205312. （2021•新城区•高一下期末） In 1940，a thin，gray rabbit jumped out of a hole in the ground，knocked on a hairless man's head and asked，"What's Up，Doc？" to the sound of eating a large carrot.
   Though the rabbit had appeared in previouort films for two years，this classical scene in the Warner Brothers cartoon short "A Wild Hare" introduced the version of the rabbit that would become the cultural figure of Bugs Bunny.In the decades since，Bugs has appeared in over 150 films.He has earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.And he was the first cartoon character to get his face on a postage stamp.TV Guide ranked him Number One on a list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters.
   Bugs was unlike Disney's Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.They came with their own set of physical characteristics but with little personality.Bugs was defined by his wiseacre（自作聪明）attitude and funny tricks.He rocketed to fame because he was character driven，rather than practical joke driven.And while every director put his own imagination on Bugs Bunny，they all agreed on one thing that Bugs was never to be small minded.They wanted him to be a nice person，but not a person who is easy to persuade or influence.
   For the directors and audiences alike，Bugs was more than just a cartoon character.Directors' attitude was that Bugs already existed and they were just writing about him.One of them would come home in the evening and say to his wife，"You won't believe what Bugs Bunny said today!" For so many years till now in 2021，Bugs Bunny doesn't change.He remains the lovable character that only plays tricks on those who deserve it most.

201920. （2024•临潼区•二模）     How to release your art potential？Traditionally，people may bury themselves in learning painting skills at a studio and begin from drawing lines.However，Maggie Wiebe，a 21-year-old girl from Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan，has her own method.
    Wiebe and her school friend Jessie Rice are trying to do something that shows their love for art and also benefits the environment.For the past year or so，they have tended a garden at their campus farm，planting a variety of colorful flowers，as well as flax（亚麻）to make linen and paper to be used in art.
    Inspired by a group of old ladies in Canada who plant sustainable art materials and post their videos on social platform YouTube，Wiebe learned about how to plant，harvest and separate fibers.She planted different fruits and vegetables traditionally used to dye（给……染色）fabrics.She then put their peels（外皮）into boiled water and added hot pressurized air to make a dye.For her，it's a demanding but enjoyable process.
    Wiebe and Rice plan to eventually buy some land in Detroit to grow these sustainable art materials—a dye，fiber and pigment garden—"a bigger version of what we're already doing"，Wiebe told Minnesota News."We'd set it up like an organization where artists can volunteer a few hours a week and then use all of the plants that we grow."
    Wiebe also likes fiber-based art，such as quilting，weaving and sewing.She has applied those techniques to her recent works，displayed as part of the annual Senior Exhibition at her school.During her sophomore year，Wiebe joined the Michigan Daily as an illustrator，learning to conceptualize and complete complex illustrations on tight deadlines.Wiebe's works received a lot of help from others."Because the art school doesn't have departments，we have studio coordinators who take care of each studio." she said."I see them every day，and they've helped me a lot."

（1）What can we learn about Wiebe from the first two paragraphs？
A.She longed to be a gardener.
B.Her parents taught her how to plant.
C.She was fond of drawing lines.
D.She had an environmentally friendly mind.
（2）What did Wiebe learn from watching videos？
A.To peel fabric s skillfully.
B.To get fibers eventually.
C.To grow plants traditionally.
D.To dye fabric s individually.
（3）Why is Detroit referred to in Paragraph 4？
A.To present Wiebe's patience.
B.To review Wiebe's career.
C.To display Wiebe's future prospect.
D.To promote an application of Wiebe's idea.
（4）Which of the following best describes Wiebe's work？
A.Creativity is productivity.
B.Practice makes perfect.
C.Unity is strength.
D.Curiosity is motivation.

205292. （2021•阎良区•高二下期末） There are many different types of poems.
   Many people have heard about haiku.In fact，most of us are taught at one point or another usually in elementary school or high school to write one of our very own.Actually，haiku is a form of poetry made up of three non-rhyming lines.They often express feelings and thoughts about nature；however，you could write a poem about any subject you like in this form.
