Immersive Van Gogh
From the creators of the blockbuster show in Paris seen by over two million visitors and still wowing crowds in Toronto,the west coast premiere (首场) of the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit will bring the art of Vincent to life in Los Angeles.
Immersive art is not just a technical way to represent video and audio in huge spaces.The word immersive indicates a deep commitment of intentions which connect images and sounds in a way that the audience is able to experience a different way of the ant.
True to its name,this exhibition transforms the iconic(标志性的) paintings of Vincent Van Gogh into moving,wall-filling projections.“Immersive Van Gogh” promises half-a-million cubic feet of projections that pull from some of the post-impressionist’s most recognisable pieces,including The Bedroom,Sunflowers and,yes,The Starry Night.
You will experience art like never before—lose yourself in entrancing,moving images that highlight brushstrokes,detail,and color—truly illuminating (照亮) the mind of the genius.

The Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit is located at a secret place situated in the heart of Los Angeles.To be announced before the exhibit opens,existing ticket holders will receive an email with the place name and location once it is made public.

A small bowl bought at a yard sale in Connecticut for just $35 has been identified as a rare 15th-century Chinese antique.
The blue-and-white bowl was made by China’s royal court during the Ming Dynasty.It is now expected to sell for up to $500,000,according to Sotheby’s auction(拍卖) house in New York,where the auction will take place next month.
The purchase was made last year near New Haven,Connecticut.“I was just hanging around there aimlessly.But when I saw this bowl,I didn’t even bargain over the $35 asking price,” the owner said.Shortly after the purchase,he sent photos of the bowl to auction specialists,who identified it as an item of historical significance.
Upon closer inspection,the artifact was found to have originated from the period of the Yongle Emperor,who ruled from 1402 to 1424—a period noted for its distinctive porcelain(瓷器) techniques.It’s now valued between $300,000 and $500,000,with the top estimate nearly 14,300 times the amount it was purchased for.
“I was deeply attracted by the techniques.You can see why this bowl is so highly-valued from the very smooth porcelain body,silky glaze (釉料)and special blue colouring,which were never reproduced in later dynasties,” McAteer,an auction specialist,said.
“The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques and elevated the importance of porcelain from being an ordinary bowl into a true work of art.This small bowl has both practical and artistic value,” McAteer said.
4.What can we infer about the bowl’s owner
A.He found the bowl by accident.
B.He hesitated during the purchase.
C.He doubted whether the bowl was real.
D.He bought the bowl because it was cheap.
5.What makes the bowl so precious
A.The blue colour on it.
B.The long history it has.
C.The people who made it.
D.The unique techniques used.
6.What does the underlined word “elevated” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Foresaw. B.Promoted.
C.Assessed. D.Acknowledged.
7.What’s the best title of the text
A.An Amazing Bowl
B.A Special Yard Sale
C.The Return of Porcelains
D.A Man Making Fortune
C
There are around 100 tribes (部落) that live in global isolation,mostly in South America and India.The Sentinelese have lived on one of the Andaman Islands in Eastern India for 60,000 years.They protect their island by fighting against people from outside.Their language is different from any other known language.Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa.In the past,they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them.But in 1998,the Indian government built a road across their land,and since then,they’ve had more contact with the outside world.
Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because of unhappy memories.The Mashco-Piro left their vegetable gardens after rubber companies killed most of their tribes at the beginning of the 20th century.Those who survived became nomadic (游牧的) and started hunting animals in the forest.
The Awa live in the Amazon forests of Brazil.Out of 350 members,100 have no contact with the outside world.They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans.In the following years,farmers in nearby communities started cutting the trees to expand their farmland.The Awa lost most of their hunting land.The few Amazon tribes that still exist are fighting to keep their traditional way of life.
Survival,an organization that fights for the rights of tribal people,says that uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable (弱势的) humans on the planet and that’s why their environment should be unavailable to the rest of us.After years of pressure,the organization got Brazil’s government to clear non-natives from the Awa land.All non-Awa people are leaving so the tribe can get their forest back.
But some think it’s impossible for tribes to stay isolated forever in a connected world.Contact will be made one day.So the question is:Whose choice should it be,ours or theirs
8.What can we learn about the Sentinelese from the first paragraph
A.They resist contact from the outside world.
B.They speak the same language as the Jarawa.
C.They are wild about fighting with other tribes.
D.They have got help from the Indian government.
9.Why did the Awa choose a nomadic lifestyle
A.To protect their hunting land.
B.To search for food sources.
C.To avoid threats from Europeans.
D.To maintain their original way of life.
10.Which of the following would Survival probably agree with
A.The tribes should be left undisturbed.
B.The tribes should fight for more living space.
C.The tribes should live in harmony with nature.
D.The tribes should adapt to the connected world.
11.What can be the best title for the text

The South African town Hamburg is situated by one of the most beautiful estuaries (河口) in the Eastern Cape.It’s known for its rich Xhosa culture.It is also home to a group of women who have produced a series of extraordinary artworks that have been exhibited around the world.
Keiskamma Art Project was created to teach local women embroidery (刺绣) skills to help them at a tough time economically and socially,but unexpectedly it has grown into something much bigger.Having been shown at international art galleries,many of their tapestries (挂毯) are now being displayed under one roof for the first time,at an exhibition in Johannesburg.
Their story began in 2000,when Dr.Carol Hofmeyr moved from Johannesburg to Hamburg.She found that the town was struggling with high unemployment and that local women were desperate to find ways to feed their families.Having studied embroidery herself,she hoped that passing on that knowledge to local women would help empower them.
From humble beginnings,more and more women heard about the project through word of mouth.Now,over 150 women are part of the project.Selling their works provides a source of income,but the project has also created a support system for the women.
Initially,the women started out simply creating cushions (坐垫) and small handbags to sell to tourists.Eventually,they started receiving tasks for larger pieces.They were given panels about a meter in size to work on at home.By joining the completed panels together,they created the first of their large works and one of their most celebrated,“The Keiskamma Tapestry”,which tells the history of the Xhosa people who were subjugated (征服) through colonisation and the Xhosa British Frontier Wars from 1776 to 1876.
Another celebrated piece is “The Keiskamma Altarpiece”,which was produced by 130 women.The four-meter-high,four-meter-wide piece reveals the struggles that elderly Xhosa women endured when the youth in their community were hit by HIV two decades ago,and they stepped in to care for children.
Recent artworks engage with contemporary issues.“COVID Resilience Tapestry” deals with the pandemic;“A New Earth and Our Sacred Ocean” is a call for environmental consciousness.
12.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To inform readers of the situation.
B.To bring in the topic of the text.
C.To introduce an ancient culture.
D.To promote the local artworks.
13.What is beyond people’s expectation for Keiskamma Art Project
A.It helps a lot of women.
B.It gains international fame.
C.It helps develop local economy.
D.It sponsors an exhibition in Johannesburg.
14.Which of the following can best describe the process of making “The Keiskamma Tapestry”
A.Historical.　　　B.Game-changing.
C.Cooperative. D.Time-consuming.
15.What do we know about “The Keiskamma Altarpiece”
A.It shows the Xhosa people’s sufferings.
B.It reflects on some contemporary issues.
C.It covers some pandemic-related content.
D.It aims to arouse the environmental awareness.

必修第二册　UNIT 1　阅读题组——练速度
Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一场沉浸式凡·高作品展的首映式将在洛杉矶让凡·高的艺术重现人间。
1.A　解析 推理判断题。根据文章第二段以及第三段可知,沉浸式艺术是一种将图像和声音连接起来的新型艺术形式,本次凡·高绘画展演就是要通过沉浸式艺术展现。由此推知,本次展演将通过一种现代的方式呈现。故选A项。
2.D　解析 细节理解题。根据文章第五段的“To be announced before the exhibit opens,existing ticket holders will receive an email with the place name and location once it is made public.”可知,想要得到本次展演的确切地点,只能通过电子邮件。故选D项。
3.B　解析 细节理解题。根据题干“a couple with a 5-year-old child who would like to own a Van Gogh carpet”可知,一共有两个成人,一个五岁的小孩,并且想要凡·高坐垫。再结合“Ages 6-16 (children 5 and under do not require a ticket)”可知,五岁以下的小孩不需要门票。再根据题干中“own a Van Gogh carpet”可知,想要得到一份Van Gogh carpet必须其中一人购买VIP TICKETS,即需要$99.99。另一个人只需要购买BASIC TICKETS,即需要$54.99。所以a couple with a 5-year-old child who would like to own a Van Gogh carpet至少需要$154.98。故选B项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。在康涅狄格州拍卖会上,一个以35美元购得的小碗被认定是一件罕见的15世纪的中国古董。据估计,该碗在拍卖会上的售价可达50万美元。本文描述了小碗的主人购买该小碗的过程和小碗的细节信息。
4.A　解析 推理判断题。根据第三段小碗的主人所说的话“‘I was just hanging...I didn’t even bargain over the $35 asking price’”可知,小碗的主人在闲逛时偶然发现了这个碗。故选A项。
5.D　解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中“‘You can see why this bowl...which were never reproduced in later dynasties’”可知,从这只瓷碗十分光滑的瓷身、丝滑的釉料和特殊的蓝色着色就可以看出它为何如此值钱,并且这些在后来的朝代都从未重现过。据此可知,该碗的珍贵之处在于制作它时使用的独特的技术。故选D项。
6.B　解析 词义猜测题。根据尾段中的“‘The Yongle Emperor improved the porcelain techniques...into a true work of art.’”可知,永乐皇帝改进了制瓷技术,提升了瓷器的重要性,使一个普通的碗提升为一件真正的艺术品,所以可以判断,画线词意为“提升;抬高(地位)”。故选B项。
7.A　解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一句为全文的主旨句,结合下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了一个被认定为永乐年间的古董碗的相关情况,主人以35美元购得,在拍卖会上售价预计可达30万美元到50万美元之间。故A项最适合作为全文标题。故选A项。

9.C　解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans.”可知,阿瓦人离开了他们的村庄,过上了游牧生活是为了免遭欧洲人的攻击。故选C项。
10.A　解析 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,Survival是一个为部落人民争取权利的组织,它表示与世隔绝的部落是地球上最弱势的群体,这就是为什么他们的生存环境理应是我们其他人所不可获得的。而且该组织经过多年的施压,迫使巴西政府将非原住居民从阿瓦居民的住处清走,这样这个部落又可以回到属于他们的地方。由此可推知,Survival最有可能会赞同部落理应不受打扰。故选A项。
11.B　解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了世界各地幸存的一些原始部落以及现代社会对其产生的影响。B项“寻找幸存的部落”能概括文章大意,适合做本文标题。故选B项。

2.F　解析 空前提到使用助记符号或者与某个特定的词相似的东西进行记忆,空后又提到了一个人自己建立的联想会帮助他更容易且更快地记住事情,与空前形成转折,故可知空处内容应与空前一句相关。故F项符合语境。
