13、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 learn every time.We are not important.All that counts
14、 is the time in which we are living.”Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why cant common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art？Maybe its

19、Art?DHow Can We 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
20、 idea that we live 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 c
21、ounts is the time in which we 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
22、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，人人都可以成为一位艺术家，故 A 项最适合做文章标题。5.完形填空(2016山西考前质检)The worst problem with our current economic crisis is the strong sense of worry.It is eating people alive.Worry affects our children,our marriages,our 1 ,and our sense of security.
