Earthworks,is a form of art whichinvolves using physical landscapes to create art,taking art out of the museum and into theoutside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s,when American artistsbegan creating Land Art on a large scale(大规模地).Today,works of modern Land Art can beseen all over the world,sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created bypeople who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art,which is not necessarily unchangeable,can take a number of forms.Forexample,in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty(螺旋状防波堤),made of acollection of stones and mud,in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in aspiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.Reshaping the landscapes is a common characteristic of Land Art,which can be createdby moving parts around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art,likesalt,which s added to the Spiral Jetty.lt is possible to use plants.In all case,Land Art isimmovable.Land Art is designed to gradually form,change,and eventually decay(衰落).Thats oneof the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Someworks of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so thatthey develop and decay over time,which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.(1)What can be learned from the first paragraph?A.Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.B.Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.C.American artists were the first to create Land Art.D.People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.(2)What do we know about Robert Smithson?A.He was a great innovative artist.B.He lived near the Great Salt Lake.C.He made the most famous Land Art.D.He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.(3)One of the unique characteristics of Land Art is.A.it shows the extreme beauty of natureB.it develops and decays gradually over timeC.it combines the landscapes around completelyD.it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature(4)What is the passage mainly about?A.Works of Land Art.B.History of Land Art.C.Changes of Land Art.D.Introduction of Land Art.14.(8 分)Ever since Earth formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago,its climate has gone through anumber of incredible changes.In the Jurassic Period,much of our planet was covered in extremely hot and humidjungle.And in ice age,global temperature experienced a huge drop.While many species werenot able to deal with these changing climate patterns,others successfully adapted,and some areeven still with us today.Now,as humanity pushes the planet closer to another extreme climateevent,scientists are eager to find out how the worlds species will react.The idea was highlighted in a study published on April 6 in the journal PNAS,whichshowed that between 1970 and 2010,open water species such as lobsters(龙虾)and fish haddeclined by about half in tropical marine zones across the globe because over the 40-yeartime period,sea temperatures in those regions had risen by roughly 0.2 C.The lower numbers arent a sign of all the sea creatures dying off though.In fact,thescientists found some of them outside of their traditional habitats,meaning that if a species canmigrate to cooler waters and adapt in a new environment,they will.However,those movements arent always good;species that cant move,such as coral,which is fixed to the seabed,rely on the fish and other sea creatures to contribute to the naturalfood chain and stay healthy.Additionally,when a non-native species moves into a new area,it threatens to disrupt the ecosystem that already exists there.Depending on the species,it can take anywhere from one generation to thousands andthousands of years to properly adapt,so the changes that have occurred in just the last 40 yearsare very troubling for scientists.As Sebastian Ferse,an ecologist at the Leibniz Centre forTropical Marine Research,Germany,explained:In geological history,this has occuired inthe blink of an eye.To see such changes occurring so rapidly is something quite alarming.Headded,One of the big questions is Will coral reefs as ecosystems and corals as species beable to move north or south fast enough to adjust to a changing climate?(1)What do scientists want to find out?A.How the global climate will change.B.Why the climate changed greatly?C.How species survived climate change.D.How species will adapt to climate change.(2)Why did the number of open-water species in tropical areas decrease?A.They moved to different tropical marine zones.B.The temperature of sea water rose in those areas.C.Sea temperatures in those regions were going up and down rapidly.0.Extreme weather caused some species*extinction.(3)Why isnt migration always a good thing?A.There are few cool waters to migrate to.B.It threatens the original ecosystems.C.Some species cannot adapt after migrating.D.There isnt enough food for species that migrate.(4)What is alarming according to scientists?A.The rate at which changes in the climate are occurring.B.Species adapting to climate change at different speeds.C.Coral reefs being unable to move to better environments.D.Coral is unable to adapt to the rising temperature.第 二 节(共 1 小题;每小题10分,满 分 10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。15.(10 分)Lazy people will never amount to anything in
