They consider it unnecessary to human existence. To others, art is important and meets some human needs that cant be met any other way.So what is the purpose of art?The earliest art cave drawings and the like certainly had some important purposes. This type of art was a record of events, a means of sharing stories, and a way to pass on information. People created primitive (原始的) art to show the world around them pictures were usually of animals, birds, plants, and humans in scenes of daily life, especially hunting.In recent centuries, art has become more complicated（复杂）. The spoken and written words have become our major means of communication, so art can be more than just a chronicle of historic events or a way to share stories, although it still can be those things as well.Through art, artists share their feelings in a way that brings on something from the viewers. The feelings one experiences when viewing art may be pleasing or not. The artist is trying to express something; its up to you to figure out what that is. Art is a conversation between you and the artist; they put themselves into their work, and you bring yourself to your explanation of it. Because of the feelings that art can bring on feelings that usually cannot be brought on by other means art is necessary to human existence. Art meets our needs for selfexpression, communication, and our desire for connection with other humans across centuries and cultures.Now, we can conclude that art is very important. Since it is important, kids should learn it.5What do we know about the primitive art?AIt didnt have any important purposes.BIt was mainly about peoples daily life.CIt was created mainly to entertain people.DIt was meant to help people understand the world.6What does the underlined word “chronicle” in Paragraph 4 mean?ARecord. BTool. CGuide. DMirror.7Paragraph 5 mainly shows arts use of _.Amaking a living Bexplaining problemsCstoring information Dexchanging feelings8The text is meant to show that _.Akids love art for a reason Bchildren should study artCart is very important to humans Dart is used for different purposes CDear John，My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what youve shared about life and positive energy has changed my life.This past year has been one of the hardest for me.

D China, which takes pride in the great inventions in ancient times, has once again showed its ability to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payments, shared bicycles and online shopping. “My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat whatever I want simply with a tap of my phone,” said Lin Jinlong, an overseas Chinese student from Cambodia, adding that “even pancake sellers are using Alipay(mobile payment).” “We can also order food at home, which is super convenient. If I were at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.” The bikes themselves are not new, but the operating model of bike-sharing is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. Chinese businessmen have surprised the world with the business model of bike-sharing which includes those technologies, and are entering overseas markets such as Singapore and Britain. China has entered a new innovative era(创新时代), thanks to the large amounts of capital China has invested in encouraging innovation, said Bernhard Schwartlander, World Health Organization Representative in China. As a huge fan of bicycles, he also expressed his affection for Chinas shared bicycles, saying that “shared bikes are bringing cycling back to peoples lives. and they are making public transport more attractive and convenient, and encouraging people to be more active.”“It is increasingly clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. It is increasingly clear that China is leading in many ways such as. social messaging app WeChat,” she said. “This is partly because China skipped over the PC era and went directly to mobile. China has the largest mobile use in the world.”Lin talked about his experience of traveling by Chinese high-speed train from Beijing to the coastal city of Tianjin more than 100 km away. The journey takes only half an hour, while in Cambodia, which has only two railways, such a journey may take up to three hours.Wu Hao, executive director of the BRRI, said Lins view appears to suggest that youths of countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative wish their home countries would imitate China in terms of technological achievements.13.

China: Changing the World with Her Four New Inventions第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Family love is one of the most valuable gifts in life and one that you cannot buy anywhere. 16 Here are four ways for you to become closer to your family：1Increase Your LoveYouve probably heard the song lyric, “ 17 ” What changes a house into a home is true love.
