21、Life can sometimes seem like endless series of exhibitions. For those of us involved in the art world, there are times when we’re constantly visiting gallery after gallery, taking in as much as possible and getting to know the works of artists from far and wide. But there are some artists whose works consistently stand out. Some artists’ works stay in the thought and heart of an audience long after the show is over. I’ve noticed over the years that these are often the artists who have understood fully the skill of telling the story behind their art. These artists aren’t just selling paintings—they’re selling an experience.
Roxanna Kibsey is one of these artists. Her paintings are often exact description of frozen tundra(冻原)or autumn trees—so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas. When I met her at an exhibition she couldn’t wait to tell me about the place in her paintings. “Where I grew up we had nine months of winter every year. It’s really quite a tough place,” she said. She relived a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her paintings. The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snow-covered countryside during my own first winter in Canada. I could almost hear the crunching ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.
Businessmen may have their elevator pitch, but artists, too, need their 30-second story which rolls freely off the tongue. That’s why it’s so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can conjure up(唤起)a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.
【1】What kind of artists does the author like?

【3】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.
A．Kibsey’s work reflects her own life
B．Kibsey had an unhappy childhood
C．Kibsey doesn’t like her home town
D．Kibsey’s home town is beautiful in winter
【4】What does the underlined part “elevator pitch” probably refer to?
A．A sales introduction.

22、When asked why he or she wears clothes, some people will probably answer “to keep warm and to cover my body”. These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It’s just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer’s body just as well.
Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month’s clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!
【1】What do people basically wear clothes for?
A．Keeping warm and covering bodies.
B．Following the fashion.
C．Looking attractive to others.
D．Appearing successful to others.
【2】What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Fashionable clothes shops.
B．Cupboards for storing clothes.
C．The clothes that some people have.
D．Shelves used for keeping books.
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Clothes and fashion.
B．Suits and ties.
C．Cost and pastime.
D．Beauty and success.
23、Kenya has been at the forefront of the global war on plastic since 2017, when officials outlawed plastic bags. In 2020, the government raised the demand with a ban on single-use plastics. Unfortunately, tons of industrial and consumer plastic waste continue to get poured into landfills daily. However, if 29-year-old Nzambi Matee has her way, the unsightly plastic garbage mountain will soon be transformed into colorful bricks.
The materials engineer’s search for an effective solution to controlling plastic pollution began in 2017, when she set up a small lab in her backyard. It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help build the machinery to make them.
She says, “I wanted to use my education in applied physics and materials engineering to do something about plastic waste pollution. But I was very clear the solution had to be practical, sustainable and affordable. The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.”
Her company, Gjenge Makers, now hires 112 people and produces over 1,500 bricks a day, which are made using a mix of plastic products that can’t be reprocessed or recycled. The collected plastic is obtained directly from factories or picked by hired locals from landfills and mixed with sand, heated at very high temperatures, and compressed (压缩) into bricks that vary in color and thickness. The resulting product is stronger, lighter, and about 30 percent cheaper than traditional concrete (混凝土) bricks. Most importantly, it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic.
Matee, recognized as one of the Young Champions of the Earth 2020 — the United Nations’ highest environmental honor — is far from done. Her dream is to reduce rubbish by increasing production and expanding her offerings. She says, “The more we recycle plastic, the more we produce affordable housing…the more we create more employment for the youth.”
【1】Which word best describes Kenyan government’s measures against plastic?
A．Temporary.
B．Effective.
C．Fruitless.
D．Unreliable.
【2】Which of the following do we know about Matee?
A．She turns knowledge into actual products.
B．Her company’s funded by the government.
C．She produces brick-making machinery herself.
D．Her bricks are made from recyclable plastic waste.
【3】What’s the greatest strength of Matee’s resulting product?
A．Its low cost.
B．Its wide range of uses.
C．Its economic benefit.
D．Its environmental value.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Matee’s achievement.
B．Matee’s greater ambition.
C．Multiple challenges Matee faces.
D．Innovative solutions to plastic waste.
24、Theater is a big part of what makes New York shine. This city is full of talent that even the youngest can appreciate, and at the best Broadway shows, everyone in your crew will be interested.
The Lion King
There’s a reason Simba’s story continues to draw in crowds year after year: It’s an amazing production with amazing sets and a moving score. Seeing The Lion King live is something like a ceremony for New York kids. Unconvinced? Ask the 100 million+audience members worldwide who’ve seen the performance.
Ages 8 and up.
Six
On a concert stage, backed by an all-female band, the six wives of Tudor Dynasty Henry VIII air their complaints in the form of modern pop. The queens sing their heads off, and the audience loses its mind. Some of the stories are pretty dark, but the girl-power dance moves will make older kids excited.
Ages 10 and up.
Wicked
Based on novelist Gregory Maguire’s 1995 adult variation on L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wicked shows what happened before the events in the children’s book. The musical addresses complex themes, such as standards of beauty and morality. While children five and up are permitted in the theater, little ones might be afraid of the flying monkeys.
Ages 8 and up.
Come from Away
One of the more unlikely musicals on Broadway is an excellent choice for the family: Come from Away is the tense but humane story of an airport in Gander, Newfoundland, where 38 planes and more than 6,000 passengers were forced to land on September 11,2001. It raises big topics, but in such a way that invites thoughtful discussion.
