22、All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley’s memoir (回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), brings new meaning to the term “art appreciation”. During 8-12 hour shifts spent among the galleries, he takes advantage of the gift of time to study the masterpieces he’s been hired to protect and to think about the role of art throughout history.
Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution. But Bringley’s “guard’s-eye view” is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity. After his brother Tom’s death from cancer in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which “I was happy to be going nowhere”. He explains, “I had lost someone. I did not wish to move on from that. In a sense, I didn’t wish to move at all.” Bringley doesn’t say when he decided to channel his experience of finding peace into art, but this story about jumping off the career ladder in order to find the space for quiet reflection is surprisingly suited to our times.
All the Beauty in the World offers well-chosen facts about the museum to support Bringley’s personal tale. As interesting as these facts are, it’s Bringley’s reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute (致敬) to the power of art. Discussing Alfred Stieglitz’s photographs of his wife, he writes, “I think that sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work of art gives us that.” In a Vermeer port rait of a dozing maidservant, he is moved to see that the artist caught “that feeling we sometimes have that a private setting possesses a holiness (神圣) of its own. It was my constant feeling in Tom’s hospital room”.
As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not about art, but from it. This is art appreciation at a high level.
【1】What makes All the Beauty in the World different from other books by Met staffers?
A．Its author’s personal sad story.
B．Its author’s unique point of view.
C．Its well-chosen facts about the museum.
D．Its detailed introduction to the artworks.
【2】Why did Bringley decide to become a guard at the Met?
A．To remember his dead brother.
B．To enrich his journalism career.
C．To find some peace and quiet in art.
D．To study the artworks more closely.
【3】How does Bringley tell the museum stories in his memoir?
A．By relating museum facts to his personal life.
B．By interviewing retired museum staff members.
C．By presenting the background of each masterpiece.
D．By engaging visitors in the discussion of the artworks.
【4】What does the author think of the book as a whole?
A．It reveals the inner world of the author.
B．It offers new insights into art appreciation.
C．It tells little-known facts about the museum.
D．It deserves to be read for some peace and quiet.
23、Maybe you’ve heard about the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I'm sure that T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
By high school, T. J. was the most famous troublemaker in his town. He got into lots of fights. He failed almost every exam but was passed on each year to a higher grade level. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year.
When I showed up to lead the first training for a leadership retreat, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. The community leaders told me about T. J. Ware-the boy with the longest arrest record(警察局笔录) in the history of town. Somehow, I knew that I wasn’t the first to hear about T. J.’s darker side as the first words of introduction.
At the start of the retreat, T. J. didn’t readily join the discussion groups and didn’t seem to have much to say. But when his group started a discussion about positive and negative things that had happened at school that year, he joined in and had clear thoughts on those situations and the other students in his group welcomed his comments. Suddenly, T. J. felt like a part of the group and soon he was treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense and everyone was listening. By the end of the retreat he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed (打动) with his ideas and love for the homeless. They elected T. J. vice-chairman of the team.
Two weeks later, the Homeless Project team organized a communitywide service project—a giant food drive. Seventy students led by T. J. collected a school record: 2.854 cans of food in just two hours - enough to take care of poor families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. T. J.'s picture was up there for doing something great.
T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.
【1】Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Love Leads to Success
B．Love Changes Everything
C．A Broken Wing Mended
D．A Bird with Broken Wing.
【2】What can be learned about T. J. before the author met him?
A．He didn't have a good teacher.
B．He was feeling hurt every day.
C．He would graduate the next year.
D．He was not welcome in the school.
【3】What is the turning point for T.J. Ware’s change?
A．The leadership retreat.
B．The group discussion.
C．The communitywide service project.
D．The school record in the food drive.
【4】T. J. was treated like a leader by the group members because ________.
A．he joined the leadership retreat
B．he was part of the group
C．his words was meaningful
D．his deeds were famous at school
24、People today are not unfamiliar with term such as "going eco-friendly" and "sustainable lifestyle". However, there exists a group of sceptics（怀疑论者）who believe that going eco-friendly is merely a fad（一时的风尚）. I disagree with this viewpoint, Going eco-friendly is not merely a fad and it does, in fact, change the beliefs and attitudes of people.
The long-term presence of environmental organisations shows the efforts that people have made towards going eco-friendly. Organisations such as World Wildlife Fund advocate people to go eco-friendly. The high involvement of the organisations and the participants is thus a strong indicator that going eco-friendly is not merely a fad but a trend that can last decades.
Another strong indicator is the emergence of sustainable products in many industries, such as organic produce and electric vehicles. The consumer demand, coupled with eco-conscious（环保意识的）businesses, is behind the sharp increase in such products. This shows a shift in the beliefs and attitudes of people towards adopting a sustainable lifestyle. Thus, it seems quite certain that going eco-friendly is not merely a fad.
While some people who broadcast their eco-friendly practices are criticised for just hoping to project an eco-conscious image, there are a number of celebrities who have been practising the zero-waste lifestyle for years. For those who do so for years, and not mere days or months, it is indeed a commitment that can only come with a true change in beliefs and attitudes towards caring for the earth.
The call to save the earth looks set to stay. With the development of technology and the appearance of many platforms advocating going green, people are more willing to change their beliefs and attitudes when they can learn about and appreciate the positive impact of the work of different environmental organisations and individuals. It is hoped that these effects will go a long way in ensuring that our planet will remain a suitable place to live in.
【1】Why does the author mention World Wildlife Fund?
A．To appreciate its environmental efforts.
B．To encourage people to go eco-friendly.
C．To evidence the universal recognition of going green.
D．To highlight the difficulty in changing people's attitudes.
【2】What does the underlined word "emergence" mean in paragraph 3?
A．Sudden disappearance.
B．Sharp increase.
C．Gradual development.
D．Limited application.
【3】What does the author expect of technology development?
A．It may discourage people from sustainable lifestyle.
B．It may boost the business of organic produce.
C．It will be used to project an eco-conscious image.
D．It will promote environmental awareness.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing this text?
A．To prove going eco-friendly a lasting trend.
B．To popularize the eco-friendly products.
C．To offer strategies to go eco-friendly.
D．To advertise for eco-friendly platforms.
