The funds ought to be sufficient to sustain Britain's artistic and cultural infrastructure until the springHad they not materialised, institutions such as the Royal Opera House would have faced collapse by Christmas Yet theatres, concert halls, opera houses and arts centres are only the pipes through which art flows. While it is clearly important to keep this infrastructure functioning, it is of absolutely no use on its own. Indeed, the purely physical infrastructure is, by and large, the problem in terms of COVID-19, since it presents the issue of mass gatherings indoors. It is the workart made by freelancersthat matters, and that audiences pay to see Freelancers, however, were missing from the announcement, and absent from Rishi Sunak's supposedly jobs-focused summer statement. The overwhelming majority of the cultural workforce in Britain is freelance, more than 70 in theatre alone: self-employed set designers, artists, musicians, technicians, actors, directors, composers, sound engineers, stage managers and many more kinds of creators and skilled workers. This compares with 15.3 across the whole economy. The government's support scheme for the self-employed judders to a halt at the end of October(and as many as one in three in theatre, and the same proportion of musicians, is anyway ineligible for it) So far, rhetoric around cultural freelancers' prospects has centred on getting venues working again. But theatres and concert halls have no idea when they will be allowed to reopen, and when they do will not be permitted to operate at full capacity. Those in the performing arts face a potentially grim future,effectively prevented from working after most other parts of the economy have begun to function again There are ways to alleviate the situation. Venues could be quickly allowed to open such that freelancers can be employed againbut that is clearly dependent on the government's wider success, or otherwise, in grappling with the pandemic, and cannot happen until it is absolutely safe. Plenty of artists are willing, even desperate, to bring forward inventive new ways of making work and taking it more sately outdoors, into communities, on to streetsan option now open in England, where outdoor, socially distanced performances are permitted from Saturday. Organisations receiving emergency funding could be obliged to commission and facilitate work beyond their own walls, rather than to use the money to mothball (封存) themselves; or a portion of the emergency funds could be funnelled towards freelancers Doing nothing is not an option. It is freelancers who make art. It is art that has public valuethat brings benefits for civic cohesion, education and wellbeing. It is art that will contribute to the economic recovery from the crisis. It is art in which audiences find solace, provocation and joy 查看材料21. 【阅读理解Part A】Once the rescue package for the arts is implemented,British arts and cultural institutionsA. will have a meaningful ChristmasB. can maintain for a period of timeC. would restore the glory of the pastD. can avoid the fate of collapse正确答案:B参考解析:问题:当一旦艺术救助计划得以实施,英国的艺术文化机构_.The funds ought to be sufficient to sustain Britain's artistic and cultural infrastructure until the springHad they not materialised, institutions such as the Royal Opera House would have faced collapse by Christmas 这笔资金应该足以支撑英国的艺术和文化基础设施直到明年春季。如果计划没有实现,像英国皇家歌剧院这样的机构将在圣诞节前面临倒闭。B选项“可以维持一段时间”正确。查看材料22. 【阅读理解Part A】It is useless to keep arts and cultural infrastructure functioning becauseA. it's the work made by freelancers that countsB. audiences are mostly hard up for moneyC. large indoor gatherings are not allowed at presentD. it will be used as a large-scale meeting place正确答案:C参考解析:问题:维持艺术和文化基础设施的正常运行没有作用,因为_Indeed, the purely physical infrastructure is, by and large, the problem in terms of COVID-19, since it presents the issue of mass gatherings indoors. 尽管维持此基础设施正常运行很重要,但就其本身而言是绝对没有用处的。实际上,就新冠肺炎疫情而言,纯粹的实体基础设施大体上就是问题所在,因为它带来了室内大规模集会的问题。C选项“目前不允许大型室内集会”正确。查看材料23. 【阅读理解Part A】The word "grim" most probably meansA. gloomyB. brightC. foreseeableD. indefinite正确答案:A参考解析:问题:单词“grim”最有可能的意思是_So far, rhetoric around cultural freelancers' prospects has centred on getting venues working again. But theatres and concert halls have no idea when they will be allowed to reopen, and when they do will not be permitted to operate at full capacity. Those in the performing arts face a potentially grim future,effectively prevented from working after most other parts of the economy have begun to function again到目前为止,围绕文化自由职业者前景的言论集中在让场馆重新运转上。但是剧院和音乐厅不知道什么时候可以重新开放,而当它们重新开放的时候也不能以其最大容纳量营业。表演艺术领域的从业者面临着潜在的严峻前景,在大多数其他经济领域开始恢复运转后,他们实际上已经无法工作。A选项“黑暗的”正确。查看材料24. 【阅读理解Part A】According to the author,which of the following is true?A. Artists should have the courage to bring forth new ideasB. The artistic process can ease the freelancers' emotionsC. Something must be done to help freelancers outD. The government is responsible for the status of freelancers正确答案:C参考解析:问题:在作者看来,下列哪一项是正确的?Doing nothing is not an option. It is freelancers who make art. It is art that has public valuethat brings benefits for civic cohesion, education and wellbeing. It is art that will contribute to the economic recovery from the crisis. It is art in which audiences find solace, provocation and joy什么都不做不是一个选择。创作艺术的是自由职业者。只有具有公众价值的艺术才能为公民凝聚力、教育和福祉带来好处。艺术将有助于经济从危机中复苏。艺术能让观众找到慰藉、刺激和快乐。换言之,一定要做些什么,C项符合文意,故为正确答案。查看材料25. 【阅读理解Part A】Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. The Bleak Outlook for FreelancersB. UK's Rescue Package for the ArtsC. The Importance of Art to a CountryD. Freelancers Must Not Be Forgotten正确答案:D参考解析:问题: 以下哪项是本文的最佳标题? 本文首段指出英国政府的艺术救助计划足以支撑英国的艺术和文化基础设施直到明年春季。第二段指出维持艺术文化的基础设施正常运行很重要,但没有用。第三段指出政府忽略了自由职业者的重要性。第四段指出让场馆重新运转不能解决自由职业者的困境。第五段指出有一些方法可以缓解自由职业者的困境。最后一段作者呼吁一定要做些什么,什么都不做不是一个选择。综上,本文的关键是“自由职业者”,从文章后面几段可以看出自由职业者的重要性,因此D项总体来说符合文意,故为正确答案。材料题根据下面资料,回答26-30题 Aristotle reckoned the face was a window onto a person's mindCicero agreedTwo millennia on, facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to gauge other people's feelings, irrespective of age, sex and cultureA raised eyebrow suggests confusion. A smile denotes happiness. A frown indicates sadness Or do they? An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship between facial expressions and underlying emotions has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognisable facial expressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures. Just because a person is not smiling, the researchers found, does not mean that person is unhappy As Lisa Feldman Barrett, one of the authors of the study, published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest, told the AAAS meeting in Seattle, "We surprised ourselves". Dr Feldman Barrett is a psychologist at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, and along with her colleagues she found that, on average, adults in urban cultures scowled when they were angry 30of the time. Which meant that some 70 of the time they did not scowl when angry. Instead, they did something else with their faces. People also scowled when they were not angry. "They scowl when they're concentrating, they scowl when someone tells them a bad joke, they scowl when they have gas, they scowl for lots of reasons," says Dr Feldman Barrett A scowl, the researchers concluded, is certainly one expression of anger. But it is not the onl
