14、an creating Land Art on a large scale.Today, works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world, sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.Land Art, which is not necessarily unchangeable, can take a number of forms.

17、biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.

20、ral Jetty(螺旋状防波堤)into the waters of the lake.”可知，他是一个有创造力的艺术家。故选A项。15B推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Land Art is designed toeventually decay(衰落)”和“Others are exposed to rainover time”可知，地景艺术和其他艺术不同，它会随着时间的推移最后衰弱消失。故选B项。16D主旨大意题。本文在第一段的第一句话点出主题：“Land Art, sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks，is a form of
21、art” 以及下文对地景艺术这种艺术形式进行了具体介绍。故选D项。CGerman artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash(废物) to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage，” says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.

22、ptures in the form of humans.

23、culptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscows Red Square, on 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
24、learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living.”Trash art has been around for years.

29、 text?ACould You Be a Trash Artist?BWhat Are Social Sculptures?CDo You Know about Trash Art?DHow Can We Deal with Used Cans?【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，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。17B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.”可知，Schult的作品反映了环境问题。

31、ou try.”点题，再结合全文内容可推测，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，为环保做贡献，每个人都可以成为一位艺术家。故A项最适合作文章标题。第三部分完形填空(15分)My daughter had just turned five when I took her to go grocery shopping with me one day.
