题型:不详难度:来源:
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it’s really art. This isn’t always an easy question to answer, simply because there are so many different types of graffiti. While some simply consists of collections of letters, known as tags, with little artistic value, such examples are easy to find, especially on larger spaces such as walls.
If it weren’t for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission, it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art. Most graffiti, however, annoys the property owner, who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art.
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed, such as paints that dissolve graffiti paint, or make it easy to remove. Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams.
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface (丑化) private or public property; but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them. Graffiti artists can, for example, create murals (壁画) for property owners, and get paid for them.
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level, and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls. After all, who would remember Monet or Picasso if they’d created their masterpieces on walls, only to have them painted over the next day? Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy, but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world, we do need to try.

答案
小题1:D
小题2:A
小题3:C
小题4:D
小题5:D
解析
试题分析: 在世界各地,你都能看到涂鸦画。文中主要讨论了涂鸦画到底算不算艺术以及如何处理墙壁上的涂鸦等问题。
小题1:D 标题类题。文章主要讨论的是涂鸦是否算艺术,A,B,C选项文章没有提及,故选D。
小题2:A 细节题。根据第三段可知,涂鸦画在墙上(私有财产)是因为没有经过建筑主人的允许,否则它还是有可能成为一种艺术的。大多数的涂鸦让建筑物的主人很恼怒,所以人们更倾向于除去涂鸦。B,D选项文中没有提及,排除。C选项说涂鸦画抢劫了人们的私有财产,不符合文意。故选A。
小题3:C 根据上下文猜测生单词含义。根据第四段Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed, such as paints that dissolve graffiti paint, or make it easy to remove.很多除去涂鸦的方法被人们发明,例如能溶解涂鸦的画,或者使它容易移除。故选C。
小题4:D 细节推理题。根据最后一段After all, who would remember Monet or Picasso if they’d created their masterpieces on walls, only to have them painted over the next day? 可知,如果 Monet或者Picasso把画画在墙上,人们也不会记住他们的,他们的作品也只会在第二天被其他的涂鸦覆盖。故选D。
小题5:D 作者态度观点题。根据最后一段Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy, but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world, we do need to try.可知,随着世界上越来越多地方承认涂鸦文化,我们也真的需要尝试。作者的态度是涂鸦是有可能被承认为一门艺术的。故选D。

举一反三
小题2: He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. 小题3: This was the first hostel(青年招待所).
Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. 小题4:
Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. 小题5: For this reason, a few weeks spent ‘hostelling’ can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.
A.In 1970, a young German school master had an idea which changed this situation. |
B.People could stay in the hostel if they brought enough equipment with them. |
C.One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people from those places. |

Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and this kind of food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonald’s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.
Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company began to use the expression “Where’s the beef ? ”to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef? ”she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef? ”.

小题1:Paris, the capital and the largest city of the country, is in north central France. The Paris metropolitan area contains nearly 20% of the nation’s population and is the economic, cultural, and political center of France. The French governments have historically favored the city as the site for all decision-making, thus powerfully attracting nearly all of the nation’s activities.
小题2:Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century. The migration was especially stimulated by the construction of railroads, which provided easy access to the capital. After World WarⅡ, more and more immigrants arrived.
小题3:The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most important newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louvre, opened as a museum in 1793, is one of the largest museums in the world.
小题4:In the late 1980s about 4. 1 million pupils annually attended about 47, 000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5. 4 million students attended some 11, 200 secondary schools. Approximately 1. 2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.
小题5:Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumers’ goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population, and modern, high technology industries also have become numerous since World WarⅡ. Chief manufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.
Imagining what these cities would look like without those is difficult. They are symbols of these cities that make them different. However, these city symbols are not always so well loved by their city leaders. City leaders want what is best for their city, which often means the most modern transport.
In Bangkok, city leaders have banned(禁止)tuk-tuks because they consider them noisy and polluting. However, the ban has largely been unsuccessful as it has not changed Thai people’s love for the cheap tuk-tuks over taxis.
In London the city’s first ever mayor(市长)removed the red double-decker buses, which he thought were old fashioned. His plan worked, but Londoners were unhappy to lose the nice old buses they believed represented the best of their city. They made their unhappiness felt when the mayor came up for re-election. Most Londoners voted for his competitor, who promised to bring the bus back.
As for San Francisco, several cable cars are still in use but mainly as tourist attractions. They are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips.
City transport symbols may have a place in their city people’s hearts, but it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world. As Londoners have proved, their continued life depends on people’s willingness to fight for their survival.
小题1: What’s the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A.To introduce some city transport symbols. |
B.To explain why some cities are popular. |
C.To talk about modern transport in some cities. |
D.To attract more tourists to visit some cities. |

D.it is popular with tourists |
A.Only a few cable cars are still in use in San Francisco. |
B.Bangkok city leaders tried to remove the cheap tuk-tuks. |
C.The mayor who sold double-decker buses lost the re-election. |
D.The new mayor will bring back improved double-decker buses. |
A.Modern cities should remove old city transport symbols. |
B.The writer thinks highly of the old city transport symbols. |
C.Old city transport symbols face the problem of survival. |
D.Tourist cities will lose their attraction without the symbols. |
Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.
Facing the blue Mediterranean(地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince(王子)stands, and Monte Carlo(蒙特卡洛), which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.
Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too.
