本文是一篇介绍性散文。介绍性散文一般开篇即点题，指明要介绍的事物。文章的脉络结构通常比较清晰，或为总-分结构，或为总-分-总结构，段落的构成一般遵循演绎法或归纳法，主题句可在段首、段尾处找到。因此可通过文章或段落的主题句轻松归纳出文章主旨。如本文的首句“Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Scroll is a masterwork of Chinese art.”开门见山点明了介绍的对象，除最后一段外，文中每段均由主题句引领，层次分明，脉络清晰。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．Painted on a five-metre-long silk scroll, it offers an important insight into life in China in the 12th century.
赏析：本句中使用了offers an important insight into life，表明通过画作我们可以深入了解十二世纪中国的生活风貌，更突显了此幅画作的重要价值：不仅可以让人赏析艺术，而且可以帮助人们探索历史。insight 表示“洞悉；了解”。
2．The ancient scroll has survived the test of time remarkably well, and is currently housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
赏析：本句中的“survive”为熟词生义的用法，在句中表示“留存下来”，与后面的“remarkably well”搭配，表达了这幅画卷历经沧桑依然保存完好；后半句中的“house”则是名词动用，意为“安置，收藏”，点明画卷现收藏于北京故宫博物院。
3．The second section shows the riverbanks and the central bridge alive with activity as boats sail in and out of Bianjing.
赏析：本句中的“alive with activity”以及“sail in and out”展现了熙熙攘攘的热闹景象，让读者犹如亲见。
4．This well-developed ability, as well as the scroll's ambitious size, allows Zhang to show an enormous amount of detail — you could study the painting for hours and still discover something new.
赏析：本句中使用了ambitious和enormous分别描绘了气势恢宏的画幅及数不清的细节，突显了该画作的显著特点。
[提能训练]　(完成句子)
①The project would give scientists ________________________ what is happening to the earth's atmosphere.
该项目将使科学家对地球大气层的状况有新的深入了解。
②The storm was still strong and so was my will to struggle with and ______________.
风暴仍然很猛烈，我与之斗争并在风暴中生存下来的意志也同样强烈。
③The market is busy and the street ______________________.
市集依旧热闹，街上还是人声鼎沸。
(二)赏句式之高
1．It is commonly believed that the city described in the painting is Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
赏析：本句中含有that引导的主语从句，且使用了形式主语it来平衡句式，避免了“头重脚轻”的现象。it is commonly believed that ...为高级句式，表示“人们普遍认为……”。句子最后的the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty为Bianjing的同位语，对其作进一步的解释说明。
2．The first section presents a peaceful scene of rural life near Bianjing, featuring crop fields, a river winding through the landscape, and farmers hard at work.
赏析：本句中使用了现在分词短语featuring ...作伴随状语，在该短语中又使用了分词短语winding through the landscape作后置定语修饰a river, 短语hard at work修饰farmers，细致地描写了汴京近郊宁静美好的乡村生活。
3．Also in the painting are soldiers who appear to ignore their duties.
赏析：本句运用了倒装结构，这种句式结构能更好地承接上文，令上下文衔接更顺畅，逻辑更合理。倒装句式的灵活运用不但可以衔接上下文，也能起到强调主语的作用，属于写作中的高级句式。
[提能训练]　(句式升级)
①On Sunday afternoon, we would sit on the benches in the school yard, and enjoy the sunshine.
→On Sunday afternoon，we would sit on the benches in the school yard, __________________________________.(升级为分词作状语)
②Chongqing, one of the largest cities in China, lies at the meeting place of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River.
→________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________(升级为倒装句)
　
(三)赏逻辑之巧
At first sight, the overall scene of life in the capital city appears peaceful and cheerful.However, some critics suggest that on closer
inspection, the painting actually exposes serious political and social problems.Some boats carrying food do not seem to belong to the government, which suggests that the government has lost control of food supplies and transportation.Also in the painting are soldiers who appear to ignore their duties.There are some less obvious indicators of trouble too.For example, in the centre of the scroll, a boat is in danger of crashing into the bridge.
赏析：此处先用at first sight“乍看上去”简单概括了“好”的一面：京城生活总体上安宁而欢愉。注意此处overall的运用。接着用转折连词however引出“不好”的地方：存在严重的政治和社会问题。注意本句中actually的运用，和上文的overall形成呼应。接下来作者描述了一些细节来佐证自己的观点。后文又用衔接词also及too作进一步探讨，并用for example进行举例说明。这一部分的整个描写，层层深入、有理有据，且运用了作比较、摆事实、讲道理等手法，自然流畅、深入透彻地阐释了画作中反映的问题。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Making marks or signing names in the sand is a great fun for most travelers on a vacation beach.But for Dubai-based Filipino artist Nathaniel A．Alapide, it's how he became a Guinness World Record holder.
Dubai's 72-kilometer coastline, and the vast Arabian Desert, are Alapide's canvas.Using only a simple garden tool, he draws enormous lines across the beaches and deserts, making huge and complex designs.His average drawing is around 20 meters squared.When he includes a written message, the pieces can be more than 100 meters long.
Alapide's sand art began in 2014, when he drew a tree in memory of his late grandmother on the beach, near Jumeirah Beach Hotel.The size of the drawing appealed to the hotel which offered him his first full-time job as a sand artist in 2015.Since then, he has decorated the sands with around 1,900 drawings.He's been assigned by big brands, and he created a work for National Geographic for the program “The Emirates from Above”．In 2022, Alapide set a new record for the world's largest sand image.
Though Alapide has crafted a career from the practice, he says creating an artwork from sand isn't always plain sailing.“On the 20th day of creating the world-record piece, we were almost 70% done but there was this weather that happened，” he says.“It was raining, and the wind was so strong, which removed almost the whole piece.”
“I think this is where I find this kind of work interesting，” Alapide continues.He says that the temporary nature of his work reminds him that everything is in constant change.“And I think making sand art is a great way to connect with people，” he adds.“I like to watch how people interact with the work and I have found that the kids notice the drawings more than the adults.I think because they're more aware of their environment.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Alapide成为沙画艺术家的过程、他在这个领域所取得的成就以及他对这项艺术的看法。
1．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Alapide's drawing
A．Its origin.　　　　　　　 B．Its size.
C．Its materials. D．Its features.
√
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段的内容可知，本段介绍了Alapide作画所用的画布、工具、画的内容及面积，这些都属于Alapide作画的特点。
2．How did Alapide start his career of sand drawing
A．By decorating a hotel as required.
B．By impressing a hotel with his work.
C．By transplanting a tree on the beach.
D．By creating works for big brands.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段前两句可知，Alapide无意中在海滩上画的一棵树吸引了酒店，即他的作品给酒店留下了深刻印象，从而开始了自己沙画艺术家的生涯。
3．What can we say about Alapide's job according to paragraph 4
A．Challenging. B．Worthless.
C．Influential. D．Impractical.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“he says creating an artwork from sand isn't always plain sailing”及其后的举例说明可知，Alapide的工作并不总是一帆风顺的，经常受到天气的影响，因此他的工作是充满挑战的。
4．What does the last paragraph intend to convey
A．A candle lights others but consumes itself.
B．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
C．Happiness lies not in things, but in ourselves.
D．The longest journey begins with the first step.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Alapide认为沙画是与人交流的好方法，观察人们如何与作品互动也让他很开心。由此可知，Alapide喜欢的是在这个过程中的人际互动以及自己所感受到的快乐，所以C项“快乐不在于事物，而在于我们自己”是本段想表达的中心思想。
B
At around 8：00 a．m. on Oct.19, hundreds of residents queued up in long lines at the entrances of the Potala Palace, carrying buckets (桶) and other paint ingredients.They were involved in the annual routine “makeover” project of the palace.
As a landmark of Lhasa, the capital of the Xizang Autonomous Region, the Potala Palace was built in the 7th century.Being exposed to the weather, its exterior (外部的) walls lose their colors over time.So every year, after the rainy season, around the ninth month of the Tibetan calendar, the palace carries out its annual facelift (翻新) painting project.The work was originally scheduled to be completed within a month in the past.However, with advancements in technology, the project's completion time has now been shortened to just one week, according to the palace's management office.And this tradition has continued for more than 300 years.
Before the painting work begins, painters craft a paint mixing materials such as locally collected lime (石灰), milk, sugar and honey.This is why locals also call the Potala Palace the “sweet palace”．According to China News Service, adding these ingredients can make the mixture more adhesive (有黏性的), giving it insect repellent (驱虫的) and anti-corrosion (防腐蚀的) effects while introducing a variety of colors.Instead of brushing these mixtures onto the wall, locals often spray (喷洒) them.As China News Service noted, this method causes the paint to accumulate year after year, forming a thick coating that effectively protects the wall.
Many locals consider it to be an honor to take part in the painting.“We came to queue yesterday.We queued for a long time but we failed to enter the palace，” a young woman told China Daily. “Today, we came to line up in the early morning.We were so lucky to get the chance to paint the palace.We are delighted from the bottom of our hearts.”
“I have been taking part in the annual paintings of the palace for more than 20 years，” said Dawa, 57, another happy painter. “I consider the palace to be a very valuable part of our heritage, and I feel obligated (有义务的) and proud to be part of the painting team.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了拉萨地标性建筑布达拉宫的年度“翻新”工程，包括其历史、过程、所用材料及当地居民的参与热情。
5．What do we know about the Potala Palace “makeover” project
A．It used to last for over a month.
B．It has been ongoing for centuries.
C．It involves restoration inside and out.
D．It starts in the rainy season every year.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“And this tradition has continued for more than 300 years.”可知，布达拉宫的“翻新”工程已经持续了几个世纪。
6．The Potala Palace is called the “sweet palace” due to _________.
A．its varieties of colors
B．its sweet-looking appearance
C．local people's love for the palace
D．the ingredients applied in its paint
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中第一句可知，布达拉宫被称为“甜宫”是因为其涂料中加入了糖和蜂蜜等成分。
7．Why do locals spray the paint over the wall
A．It proves effortless and efficient.
B．It effectively protects themselves.
C．It helps build up the protective layers.
D．It makes for an even coating on the wall.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，当地人将涂料喷洒在墙上是为了让涂料逐年积累，形成保护层，有效保护墙壁。
8．How do local people feel when participating in the project according to the text
A．Fulfilled and honored. B．Proud but challenged.
C．Nervous but delighted. D．Disappointed and regretful.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Many locals consider it to be an honor to take part in the painting.”和最后一段中的“I feel obligated and proud to be part of the painting team”可推知，当地人对参与布达拉宫的“翻新”工程感到有成就感和荣幸。

Two armchairs are in the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester.Denise, a blogger with past experience of homelessness, is sitting in one armchair, waiting for questions.A person sits opposite her, asking if it's OK to give money to homeless people on the street.“It's down to personal choice，” replies Denise.“Some worry it is enabling addictions, but it's also providing someone with money to pay for shelter.” The dialogues are part of a performance artwork called Are you sitting comfortably The work was part of the opening International Arts and Homelessness Festival.
At the festival there were also the works of artists, many of whom had experience of homelessness like Lawrence.Lawrence now has become an enthusiastic gardener, filling second-hand containers with soil and seeds.He has also written poetry to deal with life's hardships.“My life started the day I stepped into this place，” he said.“Everyone has some genius, I think, and they help bring it out.”
The festival ended with “an immersive (沉浸式的) opera” Man on Bench, written by and starring Tovey.His story covers a string of bad luck, including being diagnosed with cancer.Tovey was once homeless and desperate on a park bench when a guard started a conversation with him.The result was that Tovey moved into a night shelter and started taking photos and began winning photography competitions.That was five years ago.He now gives talks and runs events all over the country.
Man on Bench doesn't sugarcoat the realities of life on the street.“But we do want to change people's minds，” he said.In a safe environment, focusing on drawing, people are more likely to get to know their problems.Then they will think about how to change.That's why it's so powerful.It gets people thinking.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍International Arts and Homelessness Festival上的作品，展示了艺术给无家可归者的生活所带来的改变。
9．What is Denise's attitude towards giving money to the homeless

Ⅱ.阅读七选五( )
In today's world of digital distractions (分心物), the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge.Surely a child won't have the patience to stare at something for long. 13 .
Being exposed to art, however, holds profound significance for the development of young minds, both intellectually and emotionally. 14 .Each painting, sculpture, or photograph in art galleries tells a story, inviting young viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level.
But with many kids being extremely picky eaters, and galleries seeming as appetizing as yesterday's porridge, how can we get them to tuck (狂吃) in 15 .I firmly believe art galleries can be great fun if we set out with the intention of making them so.
First, why not let your children enjoy art on their own terms Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture 16 .If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them.If something catches their eye on the other side of the room, that's absolutely fine.
17 .What really matters in a gallery is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason.To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple questions like, “Who can guess the artist？” I did this many times with my children and always found it to enhance their interest.
A．Let them determine the pace
B．Make the art gallery fit in with your kids
C．Turning art into a game is another trick
E．It is a crying shame that they are least-visited attractions
F．It allows children the opportunity to engage in diverse perspectives and cultures
G．It's understandable to think of art galleries as anything but child-friendly places
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了带孩子参观美术馆有助于其智力和情感的发展，可以提高他们对艺术的兴趣。
13．解析：选G　上文提到带孩子去美术馆看画是一个艰巨的挑战。故G项“把美术馆想象成一个不适合儿童的地方是可以理解的”承接上文，符合语境。其中的“anything but child-friendly places”与上文中的“a thankless and impossible challenge”相呼应。

A
Making marks or signing names in the sand is a great fun for most travelers on a vacation beach.But for Dubai-based Filipino artist Nathaniel A．Alapide, it's how he became a Guinness World Record holder.
Dubai's 72-kilometer coastline, and the vast Arabian Desert, are Alapide's canvas.Using only a simple garden tool, he draws enormous lines across the beaches and deserts, making huge and complex designs.His average drawing is around 20 meters squared.When he includes a written message, the pieces can be more than 100 meters long.
Alapide's sand art began in 2014, when he drew a tree in memory of his late grandmother on the beach, near Jumeirah Beach Hotel.The size of the drawing appealed to the hotel which offered him his first full-time job as a sand artist in 2015.Since then, he has decorated the sands with around 1,900 drawings.He's been assigned by big brands, and he created a work for National Geographic for the program “The Emirates from Above”．In 2022, Alapide set a new record for the world's largest sand image.
Though Alapide has crafted a career from the practice, he says creating an artwork from sand isn't always plain sailing.“On the 20th day of creating the world-record piece, we were almost 70% done but there was this weather that happened，” he says.“It was raining, and the wind was so strong, which removed almost the whole piece.”
“I think this is where I find this kind of work interesting，” Alapide continues.He says that the temporary nature of his work reminds him that everything is in constant change.“And I think making sand art is a great way to connect with people，” he adds.“I like to watch how people interact with the work and I have found that the kids notice the drawings more than the adults.I think because they're more aware of their environment.”

At around 8：00 a．m. on Oct.19, hundreds of residents queued up in long lines at the entrances of the Potala Palace, carrying buckets (桶) and other paint ingredients.They were involved in the annual routine “makeover” project of the palace.
As a landmark of Lhasa, the capital of the Xizang Autonomous Region, the Potala Palace was built in the 7th century.Being exposed to the weather, its exterior (外部的) walls lose their colors over time.So every year, after the rainy season, around the ninth month of the Tibetan calendar, the palace carries out its annual facelift (翻新) painting project.The work was originally scheduled to be completed within a month in the past.However, with advancements in technology, the project's completion time has now been shortened to just one week, according to the palace's management office.And this tradition has continued for more than 300 years.
Before the painting work begins, painters craft a paint mixing materials such as locally collected lime (石灰), milk, sugar and honey.This is why locals also call the Potala Palace the “sweet palace”．According to China News Service, adding these ingredients can make the mixture more adhesive (有黏性的), giving it insect repellent (驱虫的) and anti-corrosion (防腐蚀的) effects while introducing a variety of colors.Instead of brushing these mixtures onto the wall, locals often spray (喷洒) them.As China News Service noted, this method causes the paint to accumulate year after year, forming a thick coating that effectively protects the wall.
Many locals consider it to be an honor to take part in the painting.“We came to queue yesterday.We queued for a long time but we failed to enter the palace，” a young woman told China Daily. “Today, we came to line up in the early morning.We were so lucky to get the chance to paint the palace.We are delighted from the bottom of our hearts.”
“I have been taking part in the annual paintings of the palace for more than 20 years，” said Dawa, 57, another happy painter. “I consider the palace to be a very valuable part of our heritage, and I feel obligated (有义务的) and proud to be part of the painting team.”
