21、Many people want to look away from injustice and other troubling issues. But visual artist Siyan Wong has chosen not to look away. Through her art, she helps us see what is right before our eyes.
Wong, who lives in New York City, was born in China. Her art focuses on women, the elderly, people who are experiencing homelessness, and clothing industry workers.
Wong has loved art since she was a child. Her family didn’t have much money, so she and her sister would draw and cut out paper dolls to play with. This early experience provided Wong with a creative outlet for her emotions.
After graduating from Stuyvesant High School, she went on to college and law school. She is now a workers’ rights lawyer, but her belief in the healing (治愈) power of art remains. “Whenever I’m stressed or sad, I draw,” Wong said. “I express my feelings through art. Art is a comfortable way to bring people together to talk about difficult issues.”
One of Wong’s series is called “Five Cents a Can: Making Visible the Invisible”. I was inspired by the artist’s meetings with an Asian-American woman in her neighborhood. During early morning runs, Wong noticed the woman, who was more than 90 years old, collecting deserted cans and bottles in the dustbins behind her apartment building.
She is currently working on a painting for her “Home and Homeless” series. In the painting, she describes both a person who is homeless and an elderly canner. “The difference between someone who collects cans and someone who is homeless is hope,” Wong said. Her goal is to highlight the difference between the two and bring about questions for the viewer. Why does the elderly canner have hope, while the homeless person doesn’t? How did these individuals end up here?
【1】What does Wong’s art focus on?
A．Social problems.
B．Charity projects.
C．Natural environment.
D．Her childhood life.
【2】What does Wong think of the creation of arts?
A．It can improve her emotions.
B．It needs much money to achieve.
C．It helps the world present itself clearly.
D．It is what people should pay attention to.
【3】Where did Wong get her inspiration for Five Cents a Can: Making Visible the Invisible?
A．Her profession as a lawyer.
B．Cans and bottles in dustbins.
C．Poverty in her neighborhood.
D．An old lady leading a hard life.
【4】What is Wong’s attitude towards the lady picking up cans?
A．Doubtful.
B．Grateful.
C．Favorable.
D．Uncaring.
22、 Many kids start humming tunes like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” as their first songs, but Nygel Witherspoon was an exception. He preferred Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’s Violin Concerto in D Minor.
So when Nygel Witherspoon began to hum the very difficult concerto(协奏曲), his family guessed that he should have music lessons. He was, however, just 3 years old.
“He was calm, with an ability to focus.” recalled David Holmes, Witherspoon’s cello(大提琴) teacher from age 3 to l6.
Witherspoon is a familiar name in his hometown. He has inherited his talent from both sides of his family, including his aunt, the late jazz vocalist Shirley Witherspoon.
The 17-year-old doesn’t see himself as competitive. “I think it’s more important for students to have a supportive environment than a competitive one;” he said. “It’s great to have a support system, where you can be yourself and improve right along with others doing the same thing.”
Witherspoon’s love of music blossomed as he attended viola(中提琴) lessons with older siblings. Their teacher, David France, noticed that the little boy was a sponge(海绵).
“He’d absorb everything they did.” France said. Witherspoon was given a box violin, but he wanted to play “the big one”— the cello. He loved its size and tone. That’s when he was matched with his teacher Holmes.
Witherspoon’s drive is inspired by the connection music provides. He recalled that he and his siblings performed as a chambertrio(室内乐三重奏) at their grandmother’s nursing home. The positive reaction from residents gave him motivation.
“It’s so important, whether it’s hip-hop or classical,” he said. “Music is the universal language. It connects all of us.”
【1】How was Witherspoon different from other kids when he was 3?
A.He began to teach himself music.
B.He was able to hum very difficult tunes
C.He had already made up his mind to learn violin
D.He could already play the songs he’d heard.
【2】What does Witherspoon think is important for music learners?
A.Practicing hard.
B.Being very competitive.
C.Being in a supportive environment.
D.Having a good teacher from an early age.
【3】What is France’s impression of Witherspoon?
A.He is a fast learner. B.He is a creative player.
C.He works very hard. D.He is open-minded.
【4】What is the main purpose of the last two Paragraphs?
A.To compare Witherspoon’s performance with his siblings.
B.To show that motivation plays a big role in music studies.
C.To stress that music connects people.
D.To show how studying music helped Witherspoon overcome difficulties.
