21、A Bridge Linking Art and the Audience
According to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over 35 go half as much as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but haven’t yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating these stories in more accessible ways.
In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.
More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently the Getty Museum issued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. Users displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feel intimidated and think that there’s a base level of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.
Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations highlighting centuries of black paintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.
Social media have offered a platform for people who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.
But there is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and writing and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.
【1】What challenge is the author trying to tackle?
A．People doubt a great diversity of artworks.
B．Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.
C．Art appears too distant from common audience.
D．Adult audience has a different understanding of art.
【2】What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Tired.
B．Worried.
C．Annoyed.
D．Surprised.
【3】In the author’s opinion, the museums and galleries should ________.
A．make the art history stories accessible in a traditional way.
B．change meaningfully for activities like the Getty challenge.
C．limit the number of storytellers both in and out of institutions.
D．improve the permanent collections by adding famous artworks.
【4】We can conclude from the passage that common audience ________.
A．lacks the channels to understand and talk about art history.
B．prefers to view artworks and hear art stories on social media.
C．feels satisfied with people and interests represented on board.
D．refuses to engage with diverse art topics and art history stories.

24、TikTok is an app for making and sharing short videos. The videos are tall, not square, like on Snapchat or Instagram’s stories, but you navigate through（浏览)videos by scrolling up and down, like a feed, not by tapping or swiping side to side. Video creators have all sorts of tools at their disposal: filters as on Snapchat (and later, everyone else); the ability to search for sounds to score your video. Users are also strongly encouraged to engage with other users, through “response” videos or by means of “duets” — users can duplicate videos and add themselves alongside.
Hashtags play a surprisingly large role on TikTok. In more innocent times, Twitter hoped its users might congregate around hashtags in a never-ending series of productive pop-up mini-discourses. On TikTok, hashtags(话题标签)actually exist as a real, functional organizing principle: not for news, or even really anything trending anywhere else than TikTok, but for various “challenges,” or jokes, or repeating formats, or other discernible blobs of activity.
TikTok is, however, a free-for-all. It’s easy to make a video on TikTok, not just because of the tools it gives users, but because of extensive reasons and prompts it provides for you. You can select from an enormous range of sounds, from popular song clips to short moments from TV shows, YouTube videos or other TikToks. You can join a dare-like challenge, or participate in a dance meme, or make a joke. Or you can make fun of all of these things.
TikTok assertively answers anyone’s what should I watch with a flood. In the same way, the app provides plenty of answers for the paralyzing what should I post? The result is an endless unspooling of material that people, many very young, might be too self-conscious to post on Instagram, or that they never would have come up with in the first place without a nudge. It can be hard to watch. It can be charming. It can be very, very funny. It is frequently, in the language widely applied outside the platform, from people on other platforms, extremely “cringe”.
【1】What does the word “cringe” in the last paragraph means?
A．be afraid of something
B．be satisfied with completely new things
C．interesting
D．boring
【2】What activities can you participate in on TikTok?
Ⅰ. imitate interesting dance actions Ⅱ. editing your favourite TV programme period
Ⅲ. creating your own challenges Ⅳ. making a joke
A．Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ
B．Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ
C．Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ
D．Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅳ
【3】How do the writer start the article?
A．By asking continuous questions.
B．By introducing what is TikTok.
C．By introducing TikTok videos.
D．By giving examples of usage of TikTok in life.
【4】What is the writer’s attitude towards Tiktok?

D．Boring.
