A
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 art．
True to its name，this exhibition transforms the iconic (标志的) 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 recognizable 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 colour—truly illuminating (照亮) the mind of the genius．
LOCATION
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．
TICKET PRICES

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了西海岸的沉浸式凡·高作品首场展出将在洛杉矶进行，让凡·高的艺术重现人间。
1．According to the passage，the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit __________．
A．presents Van Gogh's art in a modern way
B．begins a journey to Van Gogh's hometown
C．displays Van Gogh's paintings on moving walls
D．designs projects on Van Gogh's learning experience
A [推理判断题。根据第二段的“Immersive art is not just a technical way to represent video and audio in huge spaces． (沉浸式艺术不仅仅是在巨大空间中表现视频和音频的技术方法。)”以及第三段的“True to its name，this exhibition transforms the iconic paintings of Vincent van Gogh into moving，wall filling projections． (正如它的名字一样，这次展览将文森特·凡·高的标志性画作变成了移动的、充满墙壁的投影。)”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·高绘画展就是要通过沉浸式艺术展现。故选A。]
2．From where can people find information about the exact location of the exhibit
A．An email． B．A website．
C．The ticket office． D．The gift shop．
A [细节理解题。根据第五段的“在展览开始前宣布，一旦公开，现有的门票持有者将收到一封附有地名和地点的电子邮件”可知，想要得到本次展览的确切地点，只能通过电子邮件。故选A。]
3．How much should a couple with a 5 year old child who would like to own a Van Gogh cushion at least pay for the visit
A．$109.98． B．$154.98．
C．$159.98． D．$199.98．
B [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 cushion ”可知，一共有两个成人、一个五岁的小孩，并且想要凡·高坐垫。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 cushion”可知，想要得到一个凡·高坐垫必须其中一人购买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“一对夫妇和一个5岁的孩子，并且想拥有一个凡·高坐垫”至少需要$154.98。故选B。]
B
Can you define great art？On the one hand，we can all see that great art is old art which is called great． But how do we know which art of our own times is great，and which will be forgotten？And who decides
These are important questions，for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time． When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing，for example，most critics considered them as hack writers(平庸的作家) with little or no literary ability． Similarly，Van Gogh and many of the other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the“real” painters of the time，and often they were very poor． Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars，while those so called“real” painters are now barely remembered．
So what makes great art？Can，for example，rock music be great art？Music videos？Cartoons and comics？Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognise great art in the past，and we can probably expect this to be the situation today．
Critics often don't recognise great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular． Popular works，whether they are novels，movies，or comics，are usually considered to be produced for the sake of money only，and not for the sake of art．
But popularity，it seems to me，is one of the three signs that a present day work of art may come to be thought of as great． The other two are that it is groundbreaking，and that it is inherently(内在地) beautiful．
Many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular，unusual and beautiful． But having all the three will often mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great，though it may take a good spoonful of time，such as a century or two，to know for sure．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中阐述了什么样的艺术才是伟大的艺术，并指出它们的特点：流行性、突破性和内在美。
4．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To explain what kind of art will become popular．
B．To introduce some real painters to the readers．
C．To introduce the writer's confusion about art．
D．To lead into the following points by arousing the readers' curiosity．
D [推理判断题。作者在第一段中接连提出了几个问题，目的在于引起读者的兴趣，从而引出后文。故选D。]
5．What does the author want to prove by using the examples of Shakespeare，Charles Dickens and Van Gogh
A．These masters' works have some shortcomings．
B．These masters wouldn't have been so successful without the critics．
C．Truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created．
D．Great masters were often not acknowledged while they were alive．
D [推理判断题。根据第二段首句可知，伟大的艺术在自己的时代往往并不被认为是伟大的，而后列举的莎士比亚、查尔斯·狄更斯以及凡·高的例子就是来证明这一点的。故选D。]
6．According to the passage，what do critics think of popular works
A．They will be out of date quickly．
B．They are created for profit rather than for art．
C．They might be presented in a popular form．
D．They are thought valuable because of their low sale price．
B [细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，批评家认为当代的流行艺术是为了追求利益而创作的，不是为了艺术。故选B。]
7．What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs
A．Critics have changed their attitudes to great works．
B．Critics' comments determine great art works．
C．The work of art itself determines its greatness．
D．Popular works today must become great art works someday．
C [推理判断题。文章倒数第三段讲的是批评家认为流行的作品是为金钱利益而生，并不是伟大的艺术；倒数第二段讲的是流行性与突破性、内在美一样，是当今伟大的艺术作品的特征；最后一段讲的是具有上述三个特征的作品总有一天会被认为是伟大的艺术。由此可推断能否成为伟大的艺术，关键在于作品本身的受欢迎程度、不同寻常的特点和内在的美。故选C。]

How to Start a Habit of Making Art
Making art can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your mood． But you don't have to be a full time artist to get those health benefits． 1 And the more you do it，the better． Here are the things you need to know to kick start your creative art habit．

The more you're able to make art a regular habit，the more you're likely to get this great reward：this wonderful thing that happens when you're in the zone． 5 We can feel that flow when filling in lines with colour，inking and when drawing pleasing backgrounds，such as jungle or garden scenes．
