（B）阅读理解
What is art? That's an easy question to answer. Art is a painting, a drawing or a sculpture.
Now there are new items to add to the list. Art is a dead shark in a glass case. Art is an unmade
bed. Art is a video of a group of people standing completely still for sixty minutes.
A new group of young artists began to produce work that challenged the accepted idea of
what art is and the role the artist should play in society. This group came to be known as the
YBAs-the Young British Artists. The art of the YBAs does not just stick to painting and sculpture.
It uses all kinds of differenl materials to express the feeling of the artist.
Damien Hirst is the most famous of the YBAs. The shark in the box is his work and is meant
to express his own fear of dying. The shark stands for death. Right now, it is harmless. But
eventually it will come for you. There is nothing to be done about it.
Traditionally, artists have a message. They use their skills to lead us to enlightenment (启迪)。
The message of the YBAs is that they cannot do this. They are just as mixed up and confused as
everybody else. A journalist once asked Damien Hirst what his next idea was for an artwork. “I
don't know what I'm going to do next. I never know what I'm going to do next,” he replied.
Another YBA, Tracy Emin recently produced a work called “Bed”. This is just her own bed
with the sheets disarranged and dirty. And the message?“Look at me-I'm a mess.”
Some artists work with the public in producing their work. Gillian Wearing filmed a group of
people dressed as policemen trying to keep still for 60 minutes while standing on top of a table. At
the end of that time, the table falls apart and everyone falls to the floor. You can try to be a good
citizen and a respectable member of the community. But don't try too hard or the pressure will be
too much.
Art mirrors the state of society. In the work of the YBAs we can see a society on the
threshold(开端) of the future-a bit worried, a bit excited and wondering what is going to happen
next. The YBAs can't guide us, but they can make the journey more interesting.
5.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】A. The shark.
B. Death.
C. Damien's artwork.
D. Damien's fear of dying.
6.What can be inferred from Tracy's work “Bed”？
A. She needs to be taken care of.
B. She sees the world as a dirty one.
C. She compares herself to the bed.
D. She hopes for better living conditions.
7.Which of the following refers to a person who tries too hard in Gillian's work?
A. The table.
B. The floor.
C.60 minutes.
D. The people dressed as policemen.
8. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To explain what the work of the YBAs is like.
B. To show how the YBAs form ideas for their work.
C. To describe the YBAs as artists full of imagination.
D. To show the YBAs have made a great difference in art.

Food is a deeply rooted expression of identity, values and ways of life. 1 That is, eating is
an element of common ground in terms of human existence and an experience that brings people
together. Food is family treasure in the way recipes are passed on from one generation to another,
maintaining family connection and cultural and geographical ancestral links.
Food is an expression. What we cook is an expression of who we are and where we come
from. 2 The traditional meals of a place touch on identity and ancestry. Every destination has a
dish or cuisine associated with it, which is fixed on culture and identity.
You may not know it, but that is why experiencing the local dishes of a new place usually
tops one's to do list in a foreign land. 3 It is one of the interactions and processes of connecting
with the people.
Food is symbolic. Home is where the heart is and in sensory response to food, familiar flavor
arouses homesickness. 4 The ordinary smell of food takes one back to particular times in the
past. The beautiful and merry essence of eating with family and friends from home adds to the
pleasant tastes of meals.
5 Food and food habits serve as a culture channel of display of affection and emotional
association and the sharing of delicious, nutritional food signals a bridge of closeness and
acceptance.
A. Accepting food is hard.
资料收集整理【淘宝店铺：向阳百分百】B. Eating food is a universal experience.
C. Food is largely cultural as well as nutritional.
D. Food is therefore a reminder of fond memories of home.
E. Eating a local dish is a way to connect with the local people.
F. Food, however, sometimes gives us bad emotional experiences.
G. This is obvious in how seafood is popular with the coastal people.
