课时作业11　Using language

A

National Treasure has Chinese audiences fired up. But don't confuse it with the Hollywood action film of the same name, in which the hidden history of the United States going back around 250 years is discovered.In the Chinese show, producers are lucky—China has a much longer history, and their plan to introduce relics is welcomed by the Palace Museum in the Forbidden City, and eight key province­level museums.

Yu Lei, director of the show, explained how items are chosen, “Our standard is not to choose the most precious items. We want the ones with most attractive stories.If people are bored, there is something wrong with our methods.” “These cultural relics are like aged people.They have so much to tell us，” she said.

In each 100­minute period, three key exhibits from a museum are introduced by entertainment stars,called the “national treasure guardians”， through short stage dramas, telling the history of the legends behind the items.Some lesser­known stories on how the items were unearthed are featured in the show.In the periods, experts speak about the relics and ordinary people are also invited on stage to share their stories linked to such relics.Knowledge, entertainment, taste and an accessible approach have been put together in one show.When people see cultural relics in this lively way, they feel history.

The aim of the show is not to create a hit program but to attract more people to museums.More seasons of National Treasure are planned, and some treasures from the show are to be featured in a touring exhibition soon after the first season ends. A show like this fuels people's pride in their country.

Along with the standard pigments (颜料) and paintbrushes, artist Sean Yoro (known as Hula), requires an unconventional piece of equipment for his particular brand of mural (壁画 ) making: a paddleboard.

The Hawaiian muralist, balanced on the top of the floating platform, describes women from various sites across the world, whose homelands are often threatened by the effects of global warming.

For his most recent project, titled “What If You Fly”，Hula traveled to Baffin Island, off the coast of Nunavut, Canada, to paint a portrait of local Inuit woman Jesse Mike, who lives there with her daughter.

In a short film telling of the artist's process, Mike explains her frustrating previous experiences working with filmmakers who reported on the terrible circumstances troubling her endangered landscape. “For most people, it's about the polar bears,  it's not about the people，”she said. “Well, let's make it about the people.”

Hula and his team spent 14 hours searching for the perfect iceberg canvas (油画布), knowing all the while that the ice itself, and any image created on the top of it, would soon melt away into nothing.

“It's a little ambitious to do this larger­than­life ice mural in the Arctic, and somehow, at the same time, make a connection to the human culture，”climber and filmmaker Renan Ozturk said of the project.

When Hula found his proper ice, he painted a portrait of Jesse he took earlier on his camera. Working against the power of time and Mother Nature, the artist aimed to finish as much of Jesse's portrait as he could before the iceberg disappeared.

The massive image, Hula's most remote and technically challenging piece yet, communicates a memorable reality—the consequences of climate change, first and foremost, affect people.

本文主要叙述了壁画大师Hula去往Baffin Island，通过在冰上画一位因纽特女性的肖像来提醒人们气候变化的后果正在影响人类这一现实。

5．What is “What If You Fly”？

A．A film about the muralist.

B．A woman called Jesse Mike.

C．A painting based on a local Inuit.

D．A project conducted by Hula.

答案：D

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段可知，“What If You Fly”是Hula 最近进行的一个项目。故选D项。

6．Why did Jesse Mike complain about some filmmakers?

A．They didn't focus on human beings.

B．They only reported on terrible circumstances.

C．They just reported on frustrating experiences.

D．They showed no sympathy to the endangered landscape.

答案：A

解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“For most people, it's about the polar bears, it's not about the people”可以看出，Jesse 抱怨那些电影制作人只关注气候变化对当地动物的影响，而不关注当地人。

7．Why did Hula paint images on the Arctic ice?

A．He wanted to show his unconventional painting.

B．He was ambitious enough to explore Mother Nature.

C．He made an attempt to paint on varieties of materials.

D．He wanted to warn people of the consequences of global warming.

答案：D

解析：推理判断题。根据全文尤其是最后一段中的“the consequences of climate change, first and foremost, affect people”可知，Hula 把画画到北极冰川上是为了警告人们全球变暖的后果。

8．What can be the best title for the text?

A．A Muralist and an Inuit

B．Mother Nature, Massive Images

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere.When it comes to appreciating an art painting, there is no right or wrong way. __1__

•Know the artist.To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting. __2__ Once you get familiar with the paintings from a particular artist, you will start relating to their unique styles.

•__3__ This is really tough.There are different styles and types of art mediums, realism, surrealism and impressionism, to name but a few.So for beginners, it's advisable to keep things simple.Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolour, oil painting or acrylic (丙烯酸颜料) or sketch (速写) on paper.You also need to figure out the styles of the work — figurative (形象的) or abstract.

•Try and find a meaning.To read between lines and colors and understand what the artist means can be very difficult. __4__ So here's a simple guide.Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas (油画布). Still, it doesn't mean your understanding is the same as the artist's.Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes, lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees it.

•Search for emotions. Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight. __5__ Explore the art work with your eyes.

Once you are aware of these things, you will be able to break the ice with art.

A．Discover your taste and styles.

B．Know the type of art and medium used.

C．Some of these art works will take time to reach you.

D．You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.

E．Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.

F．A simple art painting might be understood otherwise for different people.

G．The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.

本文主要介绍了如何更好地欣赏艺术作品，包括了解该艺术家本身、了解该艺术家的不同流派、从欣赏艺术作品中寻找其隐含的意义以及寻找艺术作品中的情感等。

1．G　解析：根据空处位置可知，空处承上启下；根据下文各段标题可知，下文提出了如何跟艺术家交流的几点建议；结合文章最后一句“Once you are aware of these things, you will be able to break the ice with art.”可以判断，该处说明下列方法将有助于普通人和艺术家之间的交流。故G项正确。

2．E　解析：根据该段标题“Know the artist.”可知，该段主要陈述“要了解艺术家”；结合下句“To know the artist is the first step towards appreciating any art painting.”可知，了解艺术家是欣赏任何艺术作品的第一步；据此可以判断，空处应该说的是了解艺术家对于欣赏作品的作用。故E项符合语境。

3．B　解析：根据该空位置可知，该句为本段的主题句；由此空后的“This is really tough...to name but a few.”可知，艺术形式有不同的风格和类型，包括现实主义派别、超现实主义派别和印象派等。据此可知，该段主要论述要了解艺术的种类和使用的形式。故B项正确。

4．F　解析：根据本段第二句可知，领悟线条和颜色中的隐藏含义，理解艺术家的思想是非常困难的。结合空处下句“So here's a simple guide.”可知，空处与上句对应，说明即使是一幅简单的画作，不同的人也会有不同的理解，同时引出下文简单的画作欣赏方法。故F项符合语境。

5．C　解析：根据本段第二句可知，乍看之下，并非每件艺术作品都能吸引你的眼球，打动你的情感；据此可以判断，要花时间才能真正领会某些艺术作品的意义。故选C。

阅读下面的短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Did you know that almost one out of three teens think there is nothing wrong with using prescription drugs (处方药) without a doctor's prescription? Medicines can help people fight illnesses and get better faster, and can keep people from getting sick in the first place. But if they aren't taken correctly, medicines may cause more harm than good.

Imagine this: After three days of taking the medicine your doctor prescribed for sore throat, you feel great. You still have seven days' worth of pills left. Is it OK to stop taking them and put them away until the next time you get sick？No! Always finish taking all the drugs prescribed by your doctor, even if you start to feel healthy again. When bacteria are undertreated, they have a chance to multiply.

The most common way teens get medications they aren't supposed to be taking is from a friend or a relative. But sharing your medicine, or taking another person's medication, can be dangerous. If the drug was not prescribed for you, you don't have your own doctor's knowledge of how the prescription medicine will interact (相互影响) with your own body or with other medicines you may be taking. That means you could get very sick.Plus, if you take someone else's medicine, that person won't have enough of it. Pharmacists (药剂师) cannot refill a prescription if a medication has been used up before it should have been. That could put the other person's health in danger.

Every week, nearly one in ten kids use some kind of cough and cold medicine. Cough and cold medicines can be a big help，but because you can buy them without a prescription, many people don't realize just how dangerous those drugs can be if they are misused.For example, the ingredient (成分) diphenhydramine, which treats coughs, can make you stop breathing if you take too much.These medications are not meant to take away all your symptoms and make you feel back to normal—they only help a little bit. Taking more than you should won't help your symptoms.
