Some of Australian cyclists have used “GPS art” to turn a 202 km (125-mile) ride into the outline(轮廓)of a goat, which interests many people greatly.
The four men marked their route on an app before using it track their journey around Perth.When uploaded to the computer, it was shown as a picture.Cyclist Ben Jones said the group settled on a goat because it was an easy animal to draw.He said the ride lasted more than six hours, with the four men stopping only for food, and flat tyres.“Except for riding 202 km, it's relatively simple,” Mr Jones told the BBC.“You mainly mark your route on the app and it plans directions out.”
GPS art has also been widely used by runners and other cyclists when they travel out.Mr Jones said his group wanted to shake up their normal weekend ride.“We all ride 10,000 km to 15,000 km a year,” he said.“Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time — that's what this was about.”
The group received much attention after posting their map to social media this week.Others described Mr Jones as a goat guy in an interview on Australian television.For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the koala.“Certainly, there'll be something coming, for we are making our decisions to put more and more plans into practice.I'm sure of that,” Mr Jones said.

Many parents wonder why their children should study art.To some, art is nice but useless.They consider it unnecessary to human existence.To others, art is important and meets some human needs that can't be met any other way.
So what is the purpose of art
The earliest art — cave drawings and the like — certainly had some important purposes.This type of art was a record of events, a means of sharing stories, and a way to pass on information.People created primitive (原始的) art to show the world around them — pictures were usually of animals, birds, plants, and humans in scenes of daily life, especially hunting.
In recent centuries, art has become more complicated.The spoken and written words have become our major means of communication, so art can be more than just a record of historic events or a way to share stories, although it still can be those things as well.
Through art, artists share their feelings in a way that brings on something from the viewers.The feelings one experiences when viewing art may be pleasing or not.The artist is trying to express something; it's up to you to figure out what that is.Art is a conversation between you and the artist; they put themselves into their work, and you bring yourself to your explanation of it.Because of the feelings that art can bring on — feelings that usually cannot be brought on by other means — art is necessary to human existence.Art meets our needs for self-expression, communication, and our desire for connection with other humans across centuries and cultures.
Now, we can conclude that art is very important.Since it is important, kids should learn it.
语篇解读:作者认为艺术很重要,孩子应该学习艺术。
8.What do we know about the primitive art
A.It didn't have any important purposes.
B.It was mainly about people's daily life.
C.It was created mainly to entertain people.
D.It was meant to help people understand the world.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“People created primitive (原始的) art to show the world around them — pictures were usually of animals, birds, plants, and humans in scenes of daily life, especially hunting.”可知,艺术一开始主要是关于人们的日常生活的。
9.What can we infer according to Paragraph 4
A.Art is no longer a tool to share stores.
B.Art is a mirror to reflect artists.
C.Art can have more functions.
D.Art can just record history.
解析:选C 推理判断题。第四段指出艺术变得更为复杂了,不再仅仅是对历史事件的“记录”了。故选C。
10.Paragraph 5 mainly shows art's use of ________.
A.making a living
B.explaining problems

D
Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant(持续的) to artists.No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change — to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging part of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice.Leslie found out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who keeps on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees.
In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography (摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
语篇解读:本文通过对于不同时期艺术家的比较,作者分析了艺术的一个共同问题:“什么是真实”,结论是虽然不同时期和地域的艺术的表现形式不同,但都反映了当时人类的生存状态。
12.The underlined word “poetry” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.
A.an object for artistic creation
B.a collection of poems
C.an unusual quality
D.a natural scene
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before”可知,艺术家力图创造一种从来没人看到或者经历过的意境。既然是没有人看到过或者经历过,那么应该是一种不平常的东西。
13.Which of the following shows the style of Leslie's paintings
A.They are close in style to works by Thomas Cole.
B.They look like works by 19th-century painters.
C.They mainly show common things in life.
D.They depend heavily on color photography.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.”可以推断出,Leslie的画表现的都是平时常见的事物。
14.What is the author's opinion of artistic reality
A.It will not be found in future works of art.
B.It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C.It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D.It is lacking in modern works of art.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.”可以推断出,每一代艺术家对于现实的理解和表现都是不同的,也就是没有一个永恒的标准。
15.What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph
A.They express people's curiosity about the past.
B.They make people interested in everyday experience.
C.They are considered important for variety in form.
D.They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.”可知,虽然艺术的表现形式不同,但都是表达了人类的需要和希望。也就是说艺术反映了当时人类的生存状态。

There are schools who want to take out the different forms of art found in public schools.__20__ Every person needs a way to allow them to release stress in a healthy way, a way that can be shared with others or kept to themselves.If art, music is taken out of the school systems, then how are students supposed to learn about alternative ways to express themselves

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened.“What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well,I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don't need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

Paragraph 1:
The little boy headed back down to the old man's house. He knocked on the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. “Boy, I thought I told you no magazines!” The old man stared at him angrily. “I know that, sir. I just wanted to bring you a gift.” The little boy handed him the dog figurine. Looking at the boy, the old man was too surprised to say anything and simply smiled in tears, as no one had ever shown him so much kindness.
Paragraph 2:
From that day on something changed inside the old man. He started coming out of the house and talking to his neighbors. Soon, he and the boy became friends. The boy visited the old man frequently and brought his real live dog to his house once in a while. He even invited the old man to join his family for Christmas dinner. With the boy's company, the old man was no longer a lonely soul.UNIT 4 单元验收评价(一)——单元语基温故

Some of Australian cyclists have used “GPS art” to turn a 202 km (125-mile) ride into the outline(轮廓)of a goat, which interests many people greatly.
The four men marked their route on an app before using it track their journey around Perth.When uploaded to the computer, it was shown as a picture.Cyclist Ben Jones said the group settled on a goat because it was an easy animal to draw.He said the ride lasted more than six hours, with the four men stopping only for food, and flat tyres.“Except for riding 202 km, it's relatively simple,” Mr Jones told the BBC.“You mainly mark your route on the app and it plans directions out.”
GPS art has also been widely used by runners and other cyclists when they travel out.Mr Jones said his group wanted to shake up their normal weekend ride.“We all ride 10,000 km to 15,000 km a year,” he said.“Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time — that's what this was about.”
The group received much attention after posting their map to social media this week.Others described Mr Jones as a goat guy in an interview on Australian television.For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the koala.“Certainly, there'll be something coming, for we are making our decisions to put more and more plans into practice.I'm sure of that,” Mr Jones said.
4.What holds many people's attention greatly
A.The cyclists' shaping the route into the outline of a goat.
B.The cyclists' having the GPS to travel with.
C.The cyclists' having traveled 125 miles.
D.The cyclists' riding more than 6 hours.
5.What did the four men do during their six-hour ride

B.They got something to eat.
C.They stopped to have a rest.
D.They planned new directions.
6.How would Mr Jones feel about their ride
A.It was tiring.
B.It was moving.
C.It was enjoyable.
D.It was amazing.
7.What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to

Many parents wonder why their children should study art.To some, art is nice but useless.They consider it unnecessary to human existence.To others, art is important and meets some human needs that can't be met any other way.
So what is the purpose of art
The earliest art — cave drawings and the like — certainly had some important purposes.This type of art was a record of events, a means of sharing stories, and a way to pass on information.People created primitive (原始的) art to show the world around them — pictures were usually of animals, birds, plants, and humans in scenes of daily life, especially hunting.
In recent centuries, art has become more complicated.The spoken and written words have become our major means of communication, so art can be more than just a record of historic events or a way to share stories, although it still can be those things as well.
Through art, artists share their feelings in a way that brings on something from the viewers.The feelings one experiences when viewing art may be pleasing or not.The artist is trying to express something; it's up to you to figure out what that is.Art is a conversation between you and the artist; they put themselves into their work, and you bring yourself to your explanation of it.Because of the feelings that art can bring on — feelings that usually cannot be brought on by other means — art is necessary to human existence.Art meets our needs for self-expression, communication, and our desire for connection with other humans across centuries and cultures.
Now, we can conclude that art is very important.Since it is important, kids should learn it.
8.What do we know about the primitive art
A.It didn't have any important purposes.
B.It was mainly about people's daily life.
C.It was created mainly to entertain people.
D.It was meant to help people understand the world.
9.What can we infer according to Paragraph 4
A.Art is no longer a tool to share stores.
B.Art is a mirror to reflect artists.
C.Art can have more functions.
D.Art can just record history.
10.Paragraph 5 mainly shows art's use of ________.
A.making a living
B.explaining problems
C.exchanging feelings
D.storing information
11.The text is meant to show that ________.
A.kids love art for a reason
B.children should study art
C.art is very important to humans
D.art is used for different purposes
D
Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant(持续的) to artists.No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change — to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging part of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice.Leslie found out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who keeps on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees.
In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography (摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
12.The underlined word “poetry” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.
A.an object for artistic creation
B.a collection of poems
C.an unusual quality
D.a natural scene
13.Which of the following shows the style of Leslie's paintings
A.They are close in style to works by Thomas Cole.
B.They look like works by 19th-century painters.
C.They mainly show common things in life.
D.They depend heavily on color photography.
14.What is the author's opinion of artistic reality
A.It will not be found in future works of art.
B.It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C.It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D.It is lacking in modern works of art.
15.What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph
A.They express people's curiosity about the past.
B.They make people interested in everyday experience.
C.They are considered important for variety in form.
D.They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy's parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened.“What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well,I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don't need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
