12、96 in the western German state of North RhineWestphalia.“They are social sculptures，” he explains.“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far，Schults social sculptures have been on show in Paris，in Moscows Red Square，on
13、 the Great Wall of China，and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.HA Schults work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world，Schult remains modest about his creations：“Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time

19、e Deal with Used Cans?【解题导语】本文主要讲述了一位德国艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事，并以此鼓励读者行动起来，为环保出一份力。【难句分析】All that counts is the time in which we are living.分析：本句是一个复合句。that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词All；in whichwhere，引导定语从句，在从句中作状语，修饰先行词the time。译文：重要的是我们所生活的时代。1B考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live
20、 in a time of garbage”可知，Schult的作品反映了环境问题，故选B。A项错在Schult的作品是用来当垃圾桶的，这一信息文章并未提及；C项错在Schult的作品首次是在法国巴黎展出，这与第一段最后一句“He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North RhineWestphalia”不符；D项错在Schult的作品是为了提高人们的经济意识，这与其环保思想相悖，故排除。2A考查推理判断。根据第三段最后一句“All that counts is the time in which we
21、are living”和第二段的整体内容可推知，Schult的作品同样传递了这样一个思想，即艺术家除了自己的艺术追求之外，也应该有社会责任感，故选A。3D考查推理判断。根据最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try”可推知，作者认为普通人也可以利用周围的废物或者垃圾而成为一位艺术家，故选D。4A考查标题判断。文章最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try”点题，再结合全文内容可推知，本文主要通过讲述一位艺术家利用垃圾创造艺术作品的故事，激励人们行动起来，为环保作贡献，人人都可

33、sia.”可知答案。3.A段落大意题。第三段介绍了马球运动的参赛人数、比赛用具、时间等,因此本段主要介绍了马球运动的比赛规则。4.D词义猜测题。根据本句中的“.ponies are small horses,but they are full-sized horses.”可知,马球运动中使用的马都是正常大小的马,因此用“小马”称呼它们显然是“不合适的”。B.【解题导语】本文为记叙文。作者通过将经济危机的事实告诉孩子们,从而让他们懂得拥有一个幸福的家庭意味着什么。1.C担忧影响着我们的孩子、婚姻、家庭(families)和我们的安全感。families与孩子、婚姻属于语义上并列关系,故选C项。2
