It was as if Europe was waking up after the long sleep of _10_. From Italy, the ideas of the Renaissance rapidly spread northwards to France, Germany, England, and the rest of Europe. Trade with other parts of the world meant that Europe was _11_ richer, too.

Leonardo worked for important people _13_ the Duke of Milan, and, towards the end of his life, the King of France. Renaissance artists found new ideas for their work in classical Greece and Rome.

Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale. Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms. For example, in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋状防波堤), made of a collection of stones and mud, in the Great Salt Lake. The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art, which can be created by moving parts around. People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art, like salt, which is added to the Spiral Jetty. It is possible to use plants. In all cases, Land Art is immovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form, change, and eventually decay. Thats one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums. Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days. Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time, which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.1What can be learned from the first paragraph?ALand Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.BLand Art aims to get people interested in nature.CAmerican artists were the first to create Land Art.DPeople have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.答案：D细节理解题。由第一段最后一句中的“sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago”可知，数千年前人们就已经开始创建地景艺术。故D项正确。2What do we know about Robert Smithson?AHe is a great creative artist.BHe lives near the Great Salt Lake.CHe made the most famous Land Art.DHe was a pioneer in creating Land Art.答案：A推理判断题。由第二段的第二句可知，地景艺术可以采取多种形式，罗伯特史密森在大盐湖中用石头和泥浆制造了螺旋状防波堤，由此可知，他是一位非常有创造力的艺术家。3One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies in _.Ashowing the extreme beauty of natureBdeveloping and decaying gradually over timeCcombining the landscapes around completelyDoffering the artists a chance to get close to nature答案：B细节理解题。由文章的最后一句可知，地景艺术会随着时间的推移而发展和衰败，这在艺术家眼中，是它具有吸引力的一个方面。故B项正确。4What is the passage mainly about?AWorks of Land Art.BHistory of Land Art.CChanges of Land Art.DIntroduction of Land Art.答案：D主旨大意题。由全文可知，本文的主题句是第一段的第一句，结合下文对地景艺术的特点以及代表人物等的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了地景艺术。故D项正确。BDrama and the performing arts are excellent methods of building confidence in both children and adults. Learning through drama allows children to explore their creativity and have fun while leaving their shyness and worries behind. Drama also works by supporting the growth of imagination and other skills. Entertainment has become rather passive (被动的) with cinema, television, and video games. These screenbased methods have had a negative effect on communication. However, drama puts the “getupandgo” back into entertainment. Children have the opportunity to connect with others in a more meaningful way as drama encourages speech development and awareness of body language, and allows children to become more socially active. Play and drama are closely connected. When children play a game, they are pretending and using their imagination and so they are moving away from reality to create their own story. Drama is a vehicle through which children can express themselves more freely through movement and speech to make education fun. Children gain confidence by understanding that there is no final answer in drama and that their opinions and contributions are valued. Children are able to give a personal response to many problems and situations such as poverty, global warming and recycling. The problems that drama can deal with are endless. Drama and education have a strong connection as drama can encourage children to take an active interest in other subjects such as geography, history, and English and so they can have a more rounded education. As a drama teacher, I have seen children at their first class holding onto their parents armsunwilling to let go. Then to see the same child later running into my class with smiles is an excellent sight. Drama gives children confidence by allowing them to try and experiment. Everyone is given the opportunity to shine within drama. Besides the history of the theatre, drama covers dance, music, directing, etc. These classes are especially designed to be of great fun.5Performing drama is likely to help children _.Ainvent something useful Bimagine anything they likeCbecome more confident in themselvesDdevelop an interest in doing experiments答案：C细节理解题。由第一段第一句“Drama
