What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak(喙) and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously.Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailands logging industry(伐木业).They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads.At the beginning of this century, when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear, the government put a stop to logging.All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living.Some elephants were treated badly.Others had to try to live on their own and couldnt find enough food to eat.There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand.Today, there are less than five thousand.When two Russian American artists, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid, first heard about the troubled elephants in Thailand, they knew that something had to be done to forever change the way people treated Thai elephants.Then, they came up with an idea to help these elephants.Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand and began to show the elephant trainers how to teach the elephants to paint.At first, the trainers had to guide the elephants trunks.The elephants became more comfortable doing this with practiceand lots of sweet snacksand finally started to paint on their own.The strange idea that Komar and Melamid had to save the elephants actually began to work.They even helped found several elephant art schools in Thailand and in other Asian countries.The elephants and their trainers go there to learn about painting and get supplies they need.Today, people begin to buy elephant artworks from galleries(画廊) all around the world.Some are even willing to pay more than $2,000 for the works of the elephant artists! Some people compare the cheerful, brightly-colored artworks to the works of some great abstract(抽象的) painters.Some people are just happy to buy these special and original(原创的) artworks.Others think they are helping the troubled elephants in this way.The next time you see a piece of colorful abstract art, find out who the artist is.You just may be surprised at what you learn!17.What may most people think of animal art?18.What did elephants do in Thailands logging industry?19.How many elephants are there in Thailand today?20.What was Komar and Melamids idea to help the elephants in Thailand?21.Please list one reason why people buy elephant artworks.参考答案.16DBDADD712BCDCCC.主旨大意 在网络时代,快速阅读是很必要的一项技能,但是本文号召人们享受慢速阅读,远离电子设备,在安静,放松的环境中阅读,有规律的慢速阅读习惯会使我们的思想更敏锐,提高注意力,减轻压力,加深对别人的理解,号召人们在空闲时间享受慢速阅读。13.C本段举例说参加慢速阅读这种使用脑子的活动会使我们老的时候避免少失忆,所以这些慢速阅读的益处是被科学支持的。故选C。14.D根据第四段最后一句“Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a large number of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, think and relate all these facts to each other.”可知,因为网络,我们擅长收集大量的有趣的新闻,但是我们也
