考点分析
话题突破13 艺术世界（听力专练）
高考英语听力中的艺术类话题主要集中在“人与社会”这一主题语境下，考查形式多样，但核心是围绕艺
术活动的“事件（What）、人物（Who）、时间（When）、地点（Where）、原因（Why）和方式
（How）”。
把握常见问题类型
与艺术世界相关的题目通常围绕以下几个方面提问：
细节理解题（占比最高）
考点：直接考查对话或独白中提到的具体信息。
常见提问方式：
When/Where will the art exhibition be held? (艺术活动的时间/地点)
How much is the ticket? (票价)
What did the man like most? (个人偏好)
What is the man going to do this afternoon? (行动计划)
解题技巧：听前预读题目和选项，圈定关键词（如时间、地点、活动名称），听时集中捕捉这些关键信息。
答案往往是原文的同义转换。
推理判断题
考点：需要根据对话内容、语气、语境进行逻辑推理，得出言外之意。
常见提问方式：
What is the probable relationship between the speakers? (人物关系)
Where does this conversation most probably take place? (对话发生地点)
What does the man/woman imply/mean? (说话者的隐含意思)
解题技巧：重点关注能体现人物身份、地点特征的“标志词”。例如，听到 book a ticket, exhibition,
gallery 可推断在售票处或美术馆；听到 borrow paint brush, art class 可推断是同学关系。
主旨大意题
考点：考查对整段对话或独白核心内容的把握。
常见提问方式：
What are the speakers mainly talking about?
解题技巧：抓住反复出现的关键词和开篇第一句话。独白（如博物馆导览、艺术家介绍）的开头句往往是
主旨句。
观点态度题
考点：考查说话者对某艺术形式或事件的看法和感受。
常见提问方式：
How does the woman feel about AI winning the art competition?
解题技巧
语料总结
What does the man think of the modern art pieces?
解题技巧：留意表达观点和情感的形容词 (angry, amazing, fantastic, disappointed)、副词和语气。例如，
Ugh, it makes me really angry! 明确表达了愤怒的情绪。
技巧1 听前预测：充分利用读题时间，分析选项，预测对话主题和可能的问题。
技巧2 抓关键词：集中注意力捕捉与“艺术”相关的核心词汇（见下方语料库）和题目涉及的具体信息点
（数字、时间、地点等）。
技巧3 听中笔记：对于数字、日期、名称等易混淆信息，可做简单笔记。
技巧4 同义转换：意识到正确答案很少是原文的简单重复，通常是换一种说法。例如，"It closes at 6
pm" 可能对应选项 "It's open until 6 pm"。
技巧5 整体理解：结合上下文和常识进行合理推断，不要纠结于个别听不懂的单词。

not really enough to prepare one to be a writer.
M：So what else helped you become a writer?
W：(10)I think studying literature in university was helpful. As a literature student, I learned about writing
by experiencing writing first hand. Reading helped too. (11)After getting my PhD, I became a university
lecturer. I read widely about creative writing.
M：(11)Did you read in order to become a writer?
W：(11)Not really. I just wanted to become a better literature teacher. Later I ended up teaching a course on
creative writing at Daystar University. All of these experiences helped me become a creative writer.
M：So do you have a lot of time to write now?
W：Not really. (12)Now I've got a family to take care of. But Henry is very supportive. He sometimes takes
our kids out so that I can write.

M: It might be a good idea to join a class and learn some skills.
W: Yes, I’m a complete beginner. Also, I could learn from the teachers and use the scissors in their workshop. (11) I
only need to buy some paper and glue.
M: As paper became cheaper, paper cutting became one of the most popular art forms in China. Later, it spread to
other parts of the world. If you enjoy it, then we could make use of the spare bedroom. There would be enough
room if we clear out those old chairs we don’t use anymore. (12)

always been interested in art, but I’m not sure if I want to be a professional artist.
M: Well, you could study art history. That was my wife’s major, you know.
W: Really? What did you major in?
M: Oh, I always wanted to be a businessman, so that’s what I did in college. (10) It’s not for everyone, but I
liked it. I wish I had taken some other classes, though. If you have a chance to learn about a bunch of
different things and then make a decision, I think that would be your best bet
（

works will disappear if we take AI artworks seriously.

We shouldn’t compare them with the works of real artists.

W: The only thing I was missing was sculpture. The watercolor paintings were my favorite.
M: I was also disappointed about the lack of sculpture, but in general, I liked it a lot. Hey, how long do
you think it takes to become an accomplished artist?
W: It’s tough to say. My uncle is a painter, and it took him 20 years to get to the point where he could
do his art full-time.
M: I have always enjoyed oil painting, but the materials are so expensive. I had to give it up.
W: That’s too bad! I guess we all have to make sacrifices.
M: Maybe I just need a cheaper alternative. My niece has been doing a lot of chalk art on her
blackboard and she even likes to show it to her best friend.
W: We should stop by the art supply store on the way home.
M: OK...as long as the cost of a cab is not too high. I am on a tight budget this month.
W: This one’s on me. You got the taxi last weekend.
M: Awesome! Let’s go to the reception counter. They can help us find the taxi stand.
Dialogue 7

14. What is Nick Hanna?
A. A host.
B. A photographer.
C. A writer.
15. What does Alex find most challenging about filming wildlife underwater?
A. Predicting animals’ behaviors.
B. Grabbing the perfect moment quickly.
C. Communicating underwater with divers.
16. What does Alex suggest new underwater photographers do?
A. Choose suitable subjects.
B. Take shots of small things at first.
C. Avoid getting too close to the subjects.
17. What is the main attraction for Alex to go to Sardinia?
A. The convenient location.
B. The wide range of underwater life.
C. The temperature and clarity of the water
【答案】14. C 15. B 16. A 17. B
【原文】
W: My guest today is the photographer Alex Mustard, who specializes in underwater shots. His cooperation with
Nick Hanna, a master storyteller, resulted in the book entitled The Art of Diving. Alex, how much is luck and how
much is judgment to get great shots?
M: With wildlife shots, it’s not always the case that you can get the animals to behave in the way you want. When
you spend much time in the ocean though, you get to predict behaviors and you get used to knowing when and
where you’re going to get particular shots. But often there’s only a second to grab the shot you have in mind, which
is the hardest part. With diver shots, communication is tough underwater, so everything needs planning ahead.
W: What advice would you give to new underwater photographers?
M: Well, the most important thing is to choose your subject very carefully; find something that you can get close to,
that’s not going to swim away, and that’s a not too big or too small size.
W: So what’s next for you?
M: I’m planning a trip to Sardinia-within easy reach of the airport at Olbia. And the water’s lovely and warm. But
these aren’t really the draws for me. It’s more the underwater landscapes — like the soft corals and the fish life.

2022, I went to volunteer in a local kindergarten in beautiful Ubud in Bali. ⑰I taught basic English through
games, dance and songs there. The children really loved my teaching. Now I’d like to tell you something about
Ubud. It is the cultural and artistic center of Bali. It is famous for its arts and crafts. ⑱ The town is surrounded by
beautiful rice fields, small villages, art and craft communities, ancient temples, palaces and rivers. The best part is
that it’s far from the tourist crowds of Kuta. So it’s a very quiet place. ⑲ During my stay there, I shared a room
with seven other volunteers. It allowed me to make some new friends there. We could use a swimming pool there.
It cost us about three dollars each time. There are also several gyms nearby. We received three traditional meals
each day on weekdays and two meals on weekends. ⑳That’s all about my time volunteering in Ubud. If you want
to volunteer abroad one day, I strongly suggest you try the teaching volunteer program in Ubud.

【原文】Italian artist Jacopo Della Ragione's works on display in Beijing have attracted many visitors. Jacopo
was born in Florence in 1976, the art capital of Italy. Jacopo showed a strong interest in art in his childhood. While
studying at the University of Milan, Jacopo took a master's course in graphic design and printing technology.
Before coming to China, Jacopo knew almost nothing about it. With a strong curiosity about this country, Jacopo
moved to Beijing in 2001. “I planned to spend two weeks knowing about China, but later I found the time was far
from enough, and I've been here for more than 20 years until now,” Jacopo said. He created some paintings with
traditional colors to show his love for traditional Chinese culture. The happiest time for Jacopo was after enjoying
his artworks, some visitors who didn't understand art began to show interest in it and realized art is part of their life.
Having lived in China for more than two decades, Jacopo said he was amazed by the country's rapid development.
Now, he has put down roots in Beijing. “China and Italy have something in common—we both value family. I was
born in Italy and live in China. China is now my home and I will continue to live and work here," he said.

W: Welcome to the Nightly News at Nine on Channel 29.I'm Dana Spry, filling in for Robert Smith. The top
story of the day is an unusual one for Miami. Do you remember the modern art piece that everyone has been
talking about? Yes, it's the banana taped to the wall at the Art Basel Gallery. Well, David, an artist from New York
walked into the gallery yesterday, took the banana from the wall, and ate it. He said his performance was called
“Hungry Artist". The artwork was originally sold for 120 thousand dollars. The strangest thing about this story
is that no legal action will be taken against David. Another banana will simply be taped to the wall. The art
gallery director said that the price of the artwork was for the idea, and the banana was meant to be replaced. It
makes sense, because pretty soon that banana is going to go bad, right, folks? Stay tuned for traffic, weather and
politics coming at you in that order right after this commercial break.
