[福建泉州2020高三调考]From virtual tours to e-learning tools，museums and art galleries have been sharing resources using digital platforms to continue to connect themselves with the public，share collections and stories，and support those who are vulnerable（脆弱的）during closures and the COVID-19 crisis.
Hastings Museum & Art Gallery
Hastings Museum & Art Gallery is a family-friendly museum in Hastings with a diverse collection of around 97，000 objects of local history，decorative fine arts and natural sciences. To deal with the COVID-19 outbreak，we have launched a digital museum via the Twitter hashtag#HastingsDigitalMuseum as well as via our Facebook and Instagram pages.
British Library
Over the past two years，our imaging specialists have been trying to digitise the globes，which form one of the most beautiful parts in the British Library's vast map collections. The virtual globes will be made available for close interaction on the British Library's website throughout 2020，with the first seven due for release on 26 March.
Art UK
Art UK is the online home for every public art collection in the UK. Art UK is a charity，which features almost 250，000 available digitised artworks online. Through our work，we make art available for everyone—for enjoyment，learning and research. From May we will offer users the opportunity to create and share albums of artworks as well as “digital surrogate（替代的）exhibitions”.
Leeds Art Gallery Online
The displays at Leeds City Art Gallery have been selected by the staff to reflect the richness and variety of the collections. Established masterpieces are presented alongside lesser-known works. They include recent acquisitions and long-term works from the collections. The collections are quite large-only a fraction（少量）of works are on display at any one time. When not on show, these may be seen by appointment at the gallery.

Every year in May，art galleries and museums prepare shows to honour Leonardo da Vinci，who died in France on 2 May，1519.He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and most creative thinkers of all time. His most famous paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently，researchers have been studying a painting-landscape 8P which，they think，is da Vinci's earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images（图像），not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece，which dates back to 5 August，1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back，perhaps because it was wiped out. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this “mirror-writing”. It's a way Leonardo often used to write in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement，probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said，“By looking at his writing，including the one from this drawing，we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples（样本）and said they were both made by Leonardo. They showed he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P for its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibit at Italy's Uffizi Gallery. The gallery director，Eike Schmidt，said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing techniques and his abilities to write.
1. Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently
A. Mona Lisa.
B. Landscape 8P.
C. Mirror-writing.
D. The Last Supper.
2. What does the writing on the back probably tell about
A.A statement about the painting.
B. An introduction to Leonardo.
C. An agreement to produce a painting.
D. Something about the city of Florence.
3. What can we learn about Leonardo from the researchers' study
A. He could write with either of his hands.
B. He did badly in right-handed handwriting.
C. He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
D. He taught himself to write with the right hand.
4. What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research
A. Unclear.
B. Indifferent.
C. Doubtful.
D. Positive.

[广东华南师大附中2020高二期末]You don't have to be an art expert to comment on how you feel about a piece of art. 1 The same beauty that you appreciate in these everyday objects is the thing you can appreciate and discuss in art. If you are interested in broadening your artistic appreciation by visiting an art museum or gallery，here are steps to help you get a fuller experience.
2 Often exhibits are based on a theme，a time period，a single artist's works or a group of artists working within the same basic concepts. By taking a few minutes to view the exhibit as a whole you can better appreciate the individual pieces.
Return to the beginning of the exhibit and spend a little more time viewing each piece. First，examine each piece up close. Look for details in the artwork. Second，step back anywhere from 4-6 feet away to get the full picture. 3 Find the pieces you feel drawn to. Never feel the need to linger on a piece that you don't like. 4 Question the subject，the materials used to create the piece, and your own reaction to it. See if you can guess the artist's intent.
Use the exhibition labels to understand the work. 5 After reading the information, ask yourself whether it supports or changes the way you initially reacted to the work.
When you move on, try to give each piece in the gallery a fair chance. No piece will appeal to everyone, but sometimes after closer inspection, you will find yourself appreciating works outside of your usual tastes.
A. Take some time to first scan through the entire gallery.
B. You just need to make continuous efforts to acquire the taste.
C. Spend some time moving around each piece to learn more about it.
D. Finally, if the piece is a 3-D sculptured object, be sure to view it from different angles.
E. These labels are where you can find the title, medium, artist and other useful information.
F. Try to think of the work of art as your other interests such as a beautiful car or dress design.
G. If, however, you find that the piece appeals to you, try to understand what it is about it that attracts you so much.

【语篇导读】想要欣赏艺术，并非一定要成为一名艺术方面的专家。文章主要介绍了一些欣赏艺术品和展览的方法。
1.F根据上下文可知，本句承上启下，前一句提到你不必成为一个艺术专家才能欣赏艺术，后文提到了日常物品，说明你可以通过把艺术作品想象成日常中的事物来欣赏。后文中these everyday objects可对应F选项中的such as a beautiful car or dress design。故选F项。
2.A本句总起全段，说明欣赏展览的方法。根据后文提到花几分钟时间从整体上看展览可知，此处建议的是先花时间总体浏览一下整个画廊。后文中view the exhibit as a whole可对应A选项中的scan through the entire gallery，故选A项。
3.D上文已经提到了欣赏作品的前两个步骤，故本句应当是说明最后一个步骤。D项中Finally与上文中First和Second相对应。故D项“最后，如果这件作品是一个三维雕塑物，就一定要从不同的角度观赏它”符合语境。
4.G上文提到了不喜欢的作品，后文提到了看你是否能猜到作者的意图，故可推知本句与上文形成转折，是在说明遇到吸引自己的作品时，该如何欣赏。故选G项“然而，如果你发现这件作品对你很有吸引力，试着去理解是关于它的哪点如此吸引你”符合语境。
5.E根据上文Use the exhibition labels to understand the work.（利用展览标签来了解作品）可知，本句应当是承接上文，进一步说明如何利用展品上的标签来了解作品。上文中the exhibition labels可对应E选项中的These labels。故选E项。
