共用题干Saving a City's Public Art
Avoiding traffic jams in Los Angeles may be impossible,but the city's colorful freeway mu- rals(壁画)can brighten even the most miserable commute. Paintings that depict(描述)famous people and historic scenes cover office buildings and freeway walls across the city.With a collec-tion of more than 2,000 murals,Los Angeles is the unofficial mural capital of the world.
But the combination of graffiti(涂鸦),pollution,and hot sun has left many L. A. murals in terrible condition. ______(46 ) In the past, experts say, little attention was given to caring for
public art. Artists were even expected to maintain their own works,not an easy task with cars rac- ing by along the freeway. _____( 47)The work started in 2003 . So far, 16 walls have been selected, and more may be added later.
Until about 1960,public murals in Los Angeles were rare.But in the 1960s and 1970s, young L. A.artists began to study early 20th-century Mexican mural painting._____(48)
The most famous mural in the city is Judith Baca's“The Great Wall,”a 13-foot-high(4-me-ter-high)painting that runs for haff a mile(0.8 kilometer)in North Hollywood.____(49)It took eight years to complete—400 underprivileged teenagers painted the designs—and is probably the longest mural in the world.
One of the murals that will be restored now is Kent Twitchell's“Seventh Street Altarpiece.” which he painted for the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984._____(50)Twitchell said,“It was meant as a kind of gateway through which the traveler to L. A.must drive.The open hands represent peace.”
Artists often call murals the people's art. Along a busy freeway or hidden in a quiet neighbor-hood,murals can teach people who would never pay money to see fine art in a museum,“Murals give a voice to the silent majority,”said one artist.______(48 )A:The city,trying to stop the spread of graffiti,has painted over some of the murals com-pletely.B: This striking work depicts two people facing each other on opposite sides of the freeway near downtown Los Angeles.C: Artists like murals because they like the work of Mexican artists.D:Now the city is beginning a huge project to restore the city's murals.E: The mural represents the history of ethnic groups in California.F: Soon,their murals became a symbol of the city's cultural expressions and a showcase for L. A. 's cultural diversity.

答案
C
解析
空前一句说,但是涂鸦、污染和炎热的太阳使很多洛杉矶的壁画状况极糟。观察选项,可以看出A项(为了阻止涂鸦现象的增多,这个城市把一些壁画全部刷上油漆。)是洛衫矶对这种状况采取的措施。
前面提到壁画遭到了破坏,而空后又说,16幅壁画墙被挑选出来,以后还会增加更多。由此可推知,洛衫矶开始了一个大工程,修复这里的壁画。因此本题选D。
空前说二十世纪六七十年代,洛衫矶的年轻艺术家们开始学习二十世纪早期墨西哥壁画。选项C(艺术家们喜欢壁画是因为他们喜欢墨西哥艺术家的作品。)讲述的是这些年轻艺术家们学习壁画的原因,符合空中内容。
该空前面介绍好莱坞最著名的壁画——长城,后面说壁画是由400个下层社会的青少年历时八年来完成的。因此选项E(这幅壁画代表了加利福尼亚种族群体的历史)符合。
空前后都在讲1984年为奥运会画的壁画,并说出了壁画代表的意义。选项B讲的是壁画的内容。先描述内容,再讲其代表意义,符合逻辑顺序。故本题选B。
