UNIT1 ART
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·广西桂林高二期末)“Colour，colour，colour！”are the words of artist Eric Carle.Eric is like the king in the world of children's books.He has written over 70 children's books.His most famous book，The Very Hungry Caterpillar，is common on children's bookshelves all over the world.What most people don't know is that Eric also makes art for adults，which is called“ArtArt”．People didn't know about it，because he didn't show it to the public until he was 84 years old!
Like Eric's children's books，his“ArtArt”is full of bright and clear colours.He says he loves colour so much because he missed it during the war in Germany.Eric was born in New York in 1929，but moved to Germany with his family when he was 6.When he was 10，World War Ⅱ began.He noticed that all the houses and buildings in his town were painted gray，brown or dark green.It was a sad time，and it seemed like there was no colour anywhere.
At the end of the war，“when colour came back”，Eric explains，“I just loved it so much.I keep saying that I wish our eyes could see more colour.Colour is a very important part of my work.”
That's true.Eric paints bright colours on paper，cuts out shapes，and then glues them onto another piece of paper.This method is called collage(拼贴艺术)．In fact，it was what led Eric to his“ArtArt”．
Eric's “ArtArt”includes large collages as well as paintings，photographs and even costumes.In all these works，he uses all kinds of colours—everything from purple to light green to orange.Now that's a lot of colours!
1．When did Eric show “ArtArt” to the public
A．In 1929. B．In 1939.
C．In 1997. D．In 2013.
2．Why did Eric feel sad during World War Ⅱ？
A．Because he could hardly see bright colours.
B．Because he had to join the army to fight.
C．Because he couldn't draw very good paintings.
D．Because he lived a very poor life with his parents.
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Collage plays an important part in Eric's book“ArtArt”．
B．Children know little about The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
C．Eric has created more books for adults than for children.
D．Eric moved to Germany with his family when he was 10.
B
To create“Washed Up：Transforming a Trashed Landscape”，Alejandro Durán gathers plastic trash that is washed up on the beaches of Sian Ka'an，Mexico's largest federally protected reserve.The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Yet every day，plastic pollution from around the world is washed up onto its shores(岸)．These materials inspired Durán to create a series of environmental art pieces, which he records with photos and videos.
I had the opportunity to speak with Durán.Durán was born in Mexico City and is now based in Brooklyn.He said，“I've been collecting materials and creating photographs for the past five years，and the work is ongoing.The project will tell me when to stop.”
Each piece can convey a vastly different mood，from the calm greens of soda bottles to the playful rainbows of toothbrushes.“I'm making art，”said Durán.“It comes from the context and my moods.You can't say，‘only make something dark’．”The work reflects and plays with natural forms，exploring how humans influence the environment.The colorful and playful images can be much attention grabbing.“Beauty is a hook(钩子)to attract people's attention，”said Durán.
In addition to promoting awareness about the plastic pollution problem，Durán is also involved in educational programs and helps to organise beach clean ups.He has also made a study of the types of products that are washed ashore in Sian Ka'an，and has identified objects from 50 different countries.Although there's no way to know where or how these objects were dropped into the sea，their labels show the problem of the global nature.
4．What does Alejandro Durán do with the trash
A．He moves it away.
B．He collects and burns it.
C．He turns it into a form of art.
D．He puts it together for people to see.

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it.She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time.It seemed just as one problem was solved，another one soon followed.Her father，a chef，took her to the kitchen.He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.Once the three pots began to boil，he placed potatoes in one pot，eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot.He then let them sit and boil，without saying a word to his daughter.The daughter complained and impatiently waited，wondering what he was doing.After twenty minutes he turned off the burners.He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl.He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.He then ladled(舀)the coffee out and placed it in a cup.
Turning to her，he asked，“Daughter，what do you see？”“Potatoes，eggs and coffee，”she quickly replied.
“Look closer，”he said，“and touch the potatoes.”She did and noted that they were soft.
He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell，she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally，he asked her to sip the coffee.“Father，what does this mean？”she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes，the eggs and the coffee beans had each faced the same boiling water.However，they reacted differently.The potatoes went in strong，hard，but in the boiling water，they became soft and weak.The eggs were fragile(易碎的)，with the thin outer shell protecting their liquid inside until they were put in the boiling water.Then the inside of the eggs became hard.However，the ground coffee beans were unique.After they were exposed to the boiling water，they changed the water and created something new.
“Which one are you？”he asked his daughter.“When the disaster knocks on your door，how do you respond？Are you a potato，an egg, or a coffee bean？”

“Father，I want to be a coffee bean，”said the daughter，turning to him.Father was satisfied to hear what she said，and asked his daughter，“Why do you want to be a coffee bean？”“Because it can change the water and create something new in the same boiling water.Therefore，I'd like to change the old thing and make it into a new thing，which can solve problems whenever I meet one，”said the daughter.
In the end，she understands that one shouldn't flee away when he meets a problem.He should face the problems in life bravely，and he can turn bad things into good ones and pull off his goals.Bad things may sometimes happen around us in our life.However，the only thing that truly matters is how we choose to react to them and what we make out of them.Life is all about learning，adopting and changing the disaster that we experience into something positive，so we should face it with a smile.

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it.She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time.It seemed just as one problem was solved，another one soon followed.Her father，a chef，took her to the kitchen.He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.Once the three pots began to boil，he placed potatoes in one pot，eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot.He then let them sit and boil，without saying a word to his daughter.The daughter complained and impatiently waited，wondering what he was doing.After twenty minutes he turned off the burners.He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl.He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.He then ladled(舀)the coffee out and placed it in a cup.
Turning to her，he asked，“Daughter，what do you see？”“Potatoes，eggs and coffee，”she quickly replied.
“Look closer，”he said，“and touch the potatoes.”She did and noted that they were soft.
He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell，she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally，he asked her to sip the coffee.“Father，what does this mean？”she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes，the eggs and the coffee beans had each faced the same boiling water.However，they reacted differently.The potatoes went in strong，hard，but in the boiling water，they became soft and weak.The eggs were fragile(易碎的)，with the thin outer shell protecting their liquid inside until they were put in the boiling water.Then the inside of the eggs became hard.However，the ground coffee beans were unique.After they were exposed to the boiling water，they changed the water and created something new.
“Which one are you？”he asked his daughter.“When the disaster knocks on your door，how do you respond？Are you a potato，an egg, or a coffee bean？”

【参考范文】
“Father，I want to be a coffee bean，”said the daughter，turning to him.Father was satisfied to hear what she said，and asked his daughter，“Why do you want to be a coffee bean？”“Because it can change the water and create something new in the same boiling water.Therefore，I'd like to change the old thing and make it into a new thing，which can solve problems whenever I meet one，”said the daughter.
In the end，she understands that one shouldn't flee away when he meets a problem.He should face the problems in life bravely，and he can turn bad things into good ones and pull off his goals.Bad things may sometimes happen around us in our life.However，the only thing that truly matters is how we choose to react to them and what we make out of them.Life is all about learning，adopting and changing the disaster that we experience into something positive，so we should face it with a smile.
