11． Throughout the history of the arts，the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.No matter what objects they select，artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape （風景） is another unchanging element of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie，one of the new American realists，continued this practice.Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole，a romanticist，had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature，Leslie paints what he actually sees.In his paintings，there is no particular change motions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of colour photography （攝影術） to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides，all art begs the age-old question：What is real？Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or anojye.air.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects，the realists scenes，and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up，understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years，the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present，Eastern or Western，the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Variety and diversity are the faces of art，and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

A．an object for artistic creation

（3）What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph？
A．They express people's curiosity about the past.
B．They make people interested in everyday experience.
C．They are considered important for variety in form.
D．They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
（4）Which of the following is the main topic of the passage？
A．History of the arts.
B．Basic questions of the arts.
C．New developments in the arts.

13．George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker，not an artist.Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure，Mr Nakashima rejected the label of artist.For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs，tables，and cabinets.
Nakashima had a clear goal.He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible.Even making a box was an act of creation，because it produced an object that had never existed before.Initially Nakashima used local wood，sometimes from his own property.Later，he traveled to seek out English oak，Persian walnut，African zebra wood and Indian teak.He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down.Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.
Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards，but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots（節疤）and cracks.These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life.
He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful.One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter，Mira，to use when she sat at the table for meals.The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions.Another famous piece，the Conoid chair，has two legs supported by bladelike feet.Always，Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful，marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the wood.
As the years passed，Nakashima's reputation grew and his work received many awards.His children Mira and Kevin，now adults，joined the team of crafts-people in their father's studio.Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true.
（1）Which of the following best describes Nakashima？
A．Generous and outgoing.
B．Honest and simple.
C．Capable and friendly.
D．Creative and modest.
（2）Why was Nakashima called a national treasure？
A．His art work made trees live again.
B．He used precious wood materials.
C．His chairs were beautifully designed.
D．He was devoted to making furniture.
（3）What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs？
A．He loved his work and family.
B．He made chairs of the same style.
C．He sought for a simple life and art.
D．He was lost in researching the wood.
（4）What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin？
A．They had an art studio of their own.
B．They still lacked the ability to create art works.
C．They had a common interest with their father.
D．They enjoyed the same reputation with their father.組卷：14引用：1難度：0.5 -
14．Fashion designers are always looking for new materials to work with.Lately，it's all about environment-friendly materials — recycled tires，mushrooms，even pineapple fibers!What if you want such a pair of shoes？Thaely is here to help.
This sneaker brand out of Dubai wants to fight the growing problem of plastic pollution.Led by 23-year-old Indian businessman Ashay Bhave，they may have found a winning approach：making shoes out of plastic grocery bags. "Thaely" means "plastic bag" in the Hindi language.
"I was looking to create footwear that is cost-effective and safe for the environment，" Bhave said in an interview with a newspaper. "I needed to come up with something that uses recycled plastic without creating any more plastic waste." Plastic bags were the perfect solution.He said five trillion plastic bags are used around the world each year. "I was motivated to find a solution to this problem，" Bhave said.
That solution was the fiber called ThaelyTex.Made entirely from plastic bags，the material looks and feels like leather.That sounds promising.Better yet，the production process requires no additional chemicals and produces no poisonous by-products.The result is a smart-looking pair of white low-top sneakers.
Bhave wouldn't expose the full process for making ThaelyTex，but he said that each pair of shoes was made from up to 15 plastic bags and 22 plastic bottles.Where do they get the materials？Bhave told Elle that was the hardest part. "The biggest challenge we faced was right at the first step of acquiring the plastic bags."
Finally，they got help from TrioTap Technologies，a waste management plant.Bhave said they offered to collect the bags and also process them into ThaelyTex.
So far，it seems like things are falling into place.There are already hundreds of pre-orders in place.It sounds like they have some plans for the future. "We have a few more colors coming up，" said Bhave.They also plan to put out a high-top model and bring in a line of clothing.Let's hope their growth is also friendly to the environment.
（1）Why did Bhave choose to make shoes out of plastic bags？
A．To set a new footwear trend.
B．To test new materials for footwear.
C．To reduce the use of plastic bags in his home country.
D．To use recycled plastic in an environment-friendly way.
（2）What was the most difficult task for Bhave？
A．Having a few more colors for Thaely.
B．Processing plastic bags into ThaelyTex.
C．Collecting enough production materials.
D．Dealing with many poisonous by-products.
（3）The underlined part "put out" in the last paragraph probably means.
A．produce
B．stop
C．cause
D．broadcast
（4）What can be the best title for this passage？
A．Bhave：a promising young man
B．Thaely：killer of waste plastic bags
C．ThaelyTex：material out of plastic bags
D．TrioTap Technologies：a waste management plant組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5

33．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I sat at the breakfast table with my four-year-old son，Andy，trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. "Mama，want to play？" "Not today，baby." I shook my head.These days I could barely get out of bed.I was still recovering from an operation.I hoped for strength and happiness.But the future seemed so hopeless.
Suddenly Andy jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. "Bird!" he shouted，rushing to our courtyard.Sure enough，there was a white dove seated in a tree.It sat there for a few moments，and then flew away.Strange，I'd never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning，the dove was back.This time it was with a mate carrying sticks， "Look，Andy，" I said，pointing to the tree. "They are going to make a nest." The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week，building on top of the tree.
Andy could hardly contain his excitement.Every morning，he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the door，talking to the birds while they worked.His happiness was influential.Much as I was sad，I couldn't help but look forward to the doves' visit too.
Then it all went wrong.The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest，but the tree is broad，thin leaves were far from stable.One night，a strong wind blew，throwing the doves' nest to the ground.I heard the twigs（細枝） break apart.
I examined the damage.Nothing good ever lasted.I wouldn't blame the doves if it never came back.But they returned.They started again from the beginning.Again，though，the wind destroyed all their hard work.The next day，and the next，they started again，as if nothing had happened.
注意：
（1）續寫詞數應為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
I knew I had to do something.___________
"It works!The birds are back!" Andy announced.___________組卷：9引用：2難度：0.5
