Ⅳ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了以色列考古学家的研究发现,他们认为早期人类在洞穴中创作艺术的灵感源于迷幻体验,他们在洞穴中摸黑行动,需要点燃火把,使得洞穴中的氧气减少,引发了缺氧,进而导致他们产生兴奋、离体体验和幻觉等迷幻体验。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the process, they would have reduced the amount of oxygen in the caves, inducing hypoxia (缺氧) in their brains. That, in turn, would have put them in a state of changed consciousness, experiencing excitement, out-of-body experiences and even hallucinations (幻觉) . These different states of consciousness could have been a cause for creating cave art seen as a way to communicate with things on the other side of the wall.”可知,他们在这种迷幻状态下,可能会将洞穴视为与另一个世界进行沟通的方式,从而创作出了洞穴艺术。所以,可以推断出“The artists were tripping.”是指他们的创作灵感源于他们的迷幻体验,这是他们故意在寻找一种新的绘画方式。故选D项。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The researchers suggest that caves and rock shelters are likely to have been viewed as doors to an underground world associated with prosperity and growth. They indicate that the rock face was seen as a ‘tissue’ connecting the here and now and the world beyond, ‘allowing early humans to maintain their connectedness with the universe’. The humans who used them would have viewed the caves as sacred (神圣的) spaces, locations that deserved awe and respect.”可推知,研究人员认为洞穴和岩洞在早期人类的生活中扮演了精神门户的角色。故选B项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘It was not the decoration that demonstrated the significance of caves,’ the authors write. ‘Rather, the significance of the chosen caves was the reason for their decoration.’”可推知,洞穴本身的重要性要高于洞穴中的画作,这也是为什么这些洞穴被赋予了深厚的历史和文化价值。故选B项。
4.D 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“When it comes to an art gallery, a cave seems a strange choice. Many ancient cave paintings, which mark the first known examples of artwork by prehistorical humans, are so deep under the ground that it would have taken extraordinary effort to view them.”可推断出文章主要讨论的是人类最早的艺术形式,即洞穴艺术。故选D项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国的盆景艺术。
1.creative 考查形容词。空处修饰名词短语landscape scenes,应用形容词作定语。故填creative。
2.that/which 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,先行词是living plants,关系词在从句中作宾语,使用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
3.to 考查介词。此处为固定短语date back to,意为“追溯至”。故填to。
4.a 考查冠词。way是可数名词,此处表示泛指,使用不定冠词,且way是发音为辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
5.done 考查状语从句的省略。此处是when引导的时间状语从句,从句逻辑主语是artworks,为复数,和do之间是被动关系,描述一个事实,使用一般现在时的被动语态,完整形式是when artworks are done well,当状语从句主语和主句主语一致且从句含有be动词时,可省略从句的主语和be动词。故填done。
6.deeply 考查副词。空处修饰动词rooted,应用副词形式,表示抽象意义。故填deeply。
7.popular 考查形容词。空处应填形容词作定语,修饰名词短语art form, popular意为“流行的,受欢迎的”。故填popular。
8.and 考查连词。children, botanists和art collectors之间是并列关系,使用连词and连接。故填and。
9.difference 考查名词。空处和personality并列,应用名词形式,different的名词为difference,意为“区别,差异”。故填difference。
10.reflects 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句子描述一个事实,使用一般现在时,主语the art of Penjing表示单数意义,谓语动词使用单数。故填reflects。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述的是作者在经历了一次不愉快的艺术展览之旅后,决定自己上网搜寻一些适合青少年的艺术展览并发现了艺术家Martin Bailey艺术创作的独特之处,希望将来能去看他的作品展。

When it comes to an art gallery, a cave seems a strange choice. Many ancient cave paintings, which mark the first known examples of artwork by prehistorical humans, are so deep under the ground that it would have taken extraordinary effort to view them. So, if you’re an ancient artist, what might inspire you to paint scenes of life As it turns out, Israeli archaeologists may have figured out the answer. The artists were tripping—literally.
According to a new paper in Time and Mind: The Journal of Archaeology, Consciousness and Culture, the humans who ventured into these underground places during the Upper Paleolithic (50,000 to 12,000 years ago) would have needed to light torches in order to see what they were doing. In the process, they would have reduced the amount of oxygen in the caves, inducing hypoxia (缺氧) in their brains. That, in turn, would have put them in a state of changed consciousness, experiencing excitement, out-of-body experiences and even hallucinations (幻觉). These different states of consciousness could have been a cause for creating cave art seen as a way to communicate with things on the other side of the wall.
“We discuss the significance of caves in local world views and claim that entering these deep, dark environments was a conscious choice, motivated by an understanding of the transformative nature of an underground, oxygen-lack space,” the authors write. The researchers suggest that caves and rock shelters are likely to have been viewed as doors to an underground world associated with prosperity and growth. They indicate that the rock face was seen as a “tissue” connecting the here and now and the world beyond, “allowing early humans to maintain their connectedness with the universe”.
