Unit 1 Art 综合测试
一、阅读理解
Michael's real musical genius lay in the fact that he could create entire songs in his head and use his vocal abilities to convey each part or instrument to people who would be playing the song, He spoke many times about the fact that he had tunes cropin his mind at all hours of the day and night and either sang them immediately into his trademark tape recorder or beatboxed the song out loud to his collaborators. He never learned how to read music so it was really an instinct (本能) for him. And until we know more about how the brain works, I don’t think it's possible to fully understand his musical gifts.
I would say that Michael Jackson felt music throughout his entire being. One cannot talk about his skills a musician a separate from his sills a dancer. From early on in his solo career, he would judge a song based on whether the music made him want to dance. He was famous for dancing in the studio while he was singing and his brilliant music engineer, Bruce Swedien, built Michael a special platform so that he could dance while recording. Swedien also kept a lot of Jackson's dancing sounds in the recordings. Whether he tapped, finger popped or clapped, the sounds became an active part of the music.
As to Michael Jackson's songwriting. I don't think he's ever received enough credit. If you listen to the progression of his sill in this area you cannot help but be impressed. Technically, he knew everything about how to make a great song and between his lyrical abilities, his musical instincts and his actual performance as a singer, he cannot be touched.
1.Michael judged a song based on ______.

C.For Michael Jackson, songwriting is the best among all skill.
D.Michael Jackson's judgment of music has never received enough credit.

“Nature never stops being amazing,” says Rosemary Mosco, master of humorous nature art. Her new book, Birding Is MyFavorite Video Game, combines fascinating facts with charming pictures, and it's guaranteed to make you laugh. In fact, the learning and laughing are both equally important to Rosemary.
“There's so much to love about birds,” notes Rosemary. “I admire that they're real-life, modern dinosaurs! As an artist, I'm captivated by their color variations. Once you get into birds, the interest snowballs. You can find them almost everywhere. You start to notice subtle behaviors and wing patterns. You're never bored again. Teaching a kid to watch birds is a huge gift.”
Birds make regular appearances in Rosemary's nature art comics. She created charts explaining the songs and calls of common eastern and western birds. One of her most popular pieces is a flow chart helping you to decide whether or not to help a baby bird fallen from a nest. And her own personal favorite cartoon is about tiny owls, meant to be both motivational and mildly disturbing. Rosemary explains: “One reader asked me if we had any evidence that these owls can kill and eat a moose. My response was, not yet…”
Rosemary loves other animals, and is especially proud of a poster she drew showing every snake in the US and Canada. She also has a real soft spot for butterflies. “Their behaviors can be surprisingly complex,” she points out. “They defend habitats with dogfights. They have complex relationships with poisonous plants. Some of them eat waste and drink tears. Oh, and it helps that they pose nicely for photos.”
Mostly self-taught, Rosemary has taken a few art courses, even studying video game art for a bit. During her career, she's created many educational charts, and has been working on some children's science books. She also has an upcoming comics novel about the solar system.
“I'm excited to share more stories about the natural world.” Rosemary says about the future of her nature art comics. “Humor gives science wings!”
5.What is the main feature of Rosemary's comics

A.Take some art courses. B.Write a new birding book.
C.Draw the sun humorously. D.Observe moose's behavior.
Writer Walter Benjamin argued that what makes certain works of art great is that they contain a mysterious “aura(气息)”. This mystery is part of what makes the works wonderful. However, since the late 1990s, with the spread of high-quality digital photography, there have been many discoveries about famous paintings.
Hieronymus Bosch has been at the centre of art-historical controversy(争论)this year. After an exhibition at the Noordbrabants Museum in the artist’s hometown, a new exhibition at the Prado in Madrid is on the way. The Noordbrabants displayed 17 existing Bosch paintings, while the Prado now exhibits 24. The difference is the result of digital discoveries, first accepted at the Noordbrabants show.
Artists did not regularly sign their works until the 19th century, and attribution(归属)based on a work’s style leaves room for error. Since artists always worked in studios or workshops, students would develop a style very similar to that of their master. Then again, later artists learned by copying past masters, sometimes so well that it’s hard to tell the difference. However, attribution can change, especially when new technology comes to light.
In the case of the Bosch discoveries, some researchers found evidence that led them to downgrade(降级)the attribution of certain works. Extracting the Stone of Madness, which was originally going to be lent by the Prado to the Noordbrabants, is listed as “by Bosch”, and considered to have been painted between 1501 and 1505. But the researchers informed the Prado that they would be listing the painting as “by the workshop or a follower of Bosch”, and dating it 1500-1520 (Bosch died in 1516). The museum’s director Miguel Falomir said, “It is unacceptable to request a painting as a Bosch and then show it as something different.”
One of the beautiful things about art history is that it can never be an exact science. Digital art-historical discoveries have led to controversy rather than resolutions(问题解决). The evidence is there, but it’s up to us how we explain it.
9.Why are some artworks great according to Walter Benjamin
A.They didn’t survive in history. B.Their styles are kind of mystery.
C.They leave room for imagination. D.Their creators were not well-known.
10.What can we learn about the Noordbrabants Museum
A.It owns the paintings by Bosch.
B.It was convinced by the researchers.
C.It broke the agreement with the Prado.
D.It borrowed all Bosch paintings from the Prado.
11.How would previous art historians recognize the attribution of a painting
A.Find out the signature hidden in the picture.
B.Consult the museum that has been displaying it.
C.Interview the followers of the master who did it.
D.Analyze its style and the year when it was created.
12.What would be the best title for the text
A.Digital discoveries explain art in a better way.
B.Museums have a fierce debate on Bosch paintings.
C.Hieronymus Bosch paintings become controversial.
D.Digital discoveries destroy the beauty of art history.

He first helped write a song in 1844, at an age when most children are still in kindergarten. At home, his mother sang folk songs, which helped develop his interest in music. Mozart was Tchaikovsky’s favourite composer and he influenced Tchaikovsky’s life and work. For 11 years, beginning in 1866, Tchaikovsky taught at the Moscow School of Music. During his time there, he wrote music for the piano, along with ballets, operas and symphonies. He was famous for writing the music for the ballet Swan Lake in 1876.

40.考查名词。句意:胡杨,或中国西北的沙漠柳树,是陈创作中反复出现的主题之一。本句使用了“one of +可数名词复数”结构,表示“……之一”,因而设空处需填入theme的复数。故填themes。

69.Tchaikovsky’s talent in music is just the first step to success. His mother, idol, hard work also play an important part in the process of his success. He is even committed to music until death.
After reading through Tchaikovsky’s life story, we can learn upwards of two lessons as follows. First, one should set a big goal and spare no effort in achieving it. Tchaikovsky’s life-long goal was to catch up with his idol Mozart, who influenced his life and work. Second, one should commit one’s whole being to work. Tchaikovsky wrote music for ten years and finally created his masterpiece, Swan Lake.
When it comes to commitment to work, I shall count it as a personal favour. I was once poor in math, but I swore to get it improved in my senior year, so I devoted myself to math in classroom, library and anywhere possible and made it eventually. (151 words)
