works in the Tate BritainGallery in London isnt able to tell the difference.The woman,whose name isnt known,mistook a work of art by theGerman painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish,and threw it out with other bags.The plastic bag,whichcontained pieces of paper and cardboard,was later recovered outside the gallery,but the artist thought that it was toobadly damaged to be put on show again,and so he found another bag.78-year-old Mr.Metzger explained that theexhibit,which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960,was meant to show that all art is temporary（暂时的）.Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain whichthings should not be touched.They would not say whether Mr.Metzger would be paid for the incident.However,tomake absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again,they decided to cover Mr.Metzgers work everyevening with a coloured cloth.In this way cleaners arriving after the gallery had closed to the general public wouldrealize that they should not touch it.This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish.In 2001,inanother London gallery,a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst.It was anarrangement of empty beer bottles,coffee cups,and ashtrays（烟灰缸）,which were meant to show the disorder in thelife of an artist.However,cleaners dont always throw things awaysometimes they clean them!This was the case with a dirtybath,which was on show in a gallery in Germany.Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery,the cleanersimply cleaned it.8.The woman cleaner threw away the plastic bag be c a us e.A.the plastic bag was badly damagedB.she didnt recognize it was a work of artC.she hated modern art and considered it rubbishD.The exhibit on show was taken the place of by another bag9.The underlined word“distinguishing“in Paragraph 3 probably means A.collecting B.replacing C.telling D.exchanging10.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Mr Metzger would be paid some money for the incident.B.Tate British Gallery will be closed to avoid the same mistake.C.Artists often use rubbish to show how content they feel with life.D.More than one cleaner threw away works of art in galleries.11.What might be the best title for the passage?A.Cleaner Mistakes Modem Art for Rubbish B.Good Cleaners Make MistakesC.Damaged Modern Art Works D.Dangerous Galleries and Cleaners【答案】8.B 9.C 10.D 11.A【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是一个女清洁工把德国画家古斯塔夫 梅茨格的一件现代艺术品误认为是一袋垃圾扔掉了，事实上，这样的事情发生不止一次了。【8 题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段The woman,whose name isnt known,mistook a work of art by the German painterGustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish,and threw it out with other b a g s.（这个姓名不详的女清洁工把德国画家古斯塔夫梅茨格的一件艺术品误认为是一袋垃圾，并把它和其他垃圾袋一起扔了出去）可知，女清洁工把“那袋垃圾”扔掉是因为她不知道那是一件艺术品，故选B。【9 题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“In 2001,in another London gallery,a cleaner threw away a work by thewell-known British artist Damien H irst.可知，2001年，在伦敦的另一家画廊，一位清洁工扔掉了英国著名艺术家达米恩赫斯特的一幅作品，这说明清洁工分不清一些艺术品到底是艺术品还是垃圾，由此可知画线词词义为“区分”，故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“The woman,whose name isnt known,mistook a work of art by the

trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish.In 2001,in anotherLondon gallery,a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst.（这已经不是第一次博物馆清洁工分不清到底是艺术品还是垃圾了。2001年，在伦敦的另一家画廊，一位清洁工扔掉了英国著名艺术家达米恩赫斯特的一幅作品）可知，不止一个清洁工扔掉了画廊里的艺术品，故选D。1 1 题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据Thewoman,whose name isnt known,mistook a work of art by the

celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading forthe ski resorts（滑雪场）.Never mind that Beijings dry weather seldom produces snow.It is cold enough in winterfor snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital.And the rapid growth of apleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze（热潮）.Since Beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago,the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase.There are nowmore than a dozen resorts.Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections.Mr.Wei,a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing,sees the growth of an industry that could soonlead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe.In recent years,ski resorts offering natural snow have opened inChina.But many are in faraway areas of the country and cant really match the equipment and services ofsome ski resorts in Europe.Beijings skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private（私有的）cars.This has led to the growth ofa leisure industry in the capital suburbs（交|5 区），which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people.According to Mr.Wei,about 40%of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars.The rest are bused in byschools,businesses or government offices.The problem is making money.Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money;hiring land from the localgovernment,preparing the hills,buying snow machines,making sure there are enough water and electricity to runthem,and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.The ski resort where Mr.Wei works cost nearly$4 million to set up.And as so often in China when someonecomes up with a good idea,many others rush in and price wars break out.Beijing now offers some of the cheapestski training classes in the world,though with most people rather new to the sport,expecting a few moredoing the same job.12.What does this text mainly talk about?A.Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars.B.Skiing as a new way of enjoying ones spare time.C.Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.D.A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.13.Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?A.To visit more ski areas.B.To ski on natural snow.C.For a large collection of ski suits.D.For better services and equipment.14.The underlined words“leisure industry in Paragraph 3 refer toA.transport to ski resortsB.production of family carsC.business of providing spare time enjoymentsD.part-time work for people living in the suburbs15.What is the main problem in running a ski resort?A.D ifficulty in hiring land.B.Lack of business experience.C.Price
