You probably know what a mobile is, but the mobile I’m talking about is a delicate object of decoration hanging from the ceiling and moving gently with every breath. It delights both children and adults. Now, do you know who invented the mobile? This lovely creation was the work of an American artist named Alexander Calder. Calder became interested in making things when he was a child. And even then he often used wire in his constructions. When he went to college, he studied engineering rather than art. But he quickly realized that art was his real passion. He also loved the circus, and many of his early artworks were small circus figures made with wire. In about 1930, Calder turned from realistic wire figures to abstract ones. He began constructing objects that have circles, squares and other geometric shapes. To get the shapes to move, he used small motors. Then he went one step beyond these early mobiles. He got the shapes in his constructions to move by themselves. A mobile may look simple as it shifts in the wind, but it requires careful construction to work properly. Calder used his engineering knowledge to create his first mobiles. Often these consisted of small pieces of brightly printed metal strung by wire to a thicker base wire. Calder learnt how to find the precise point to connect each wire so that all the pieces will sway in harmony. In doing so, he created an art form for people all over the world to copy and enjoy.
16. What does the speaker say about a mobile?
17. What do we learn about many of Alexander Calder’s early artworks?
18. Where does Alexander Calder’s real passion lie?
选项
A、They were made for earning a living.
B、They were delicate geometric figures.
C、They were small circus figures made of wire.
D、They were collected by a number of museums.
答案
C
解析
四个选项均是以They开头的过去时句子,因此询问的是过去发生的事情。B)、C)选项极为接近,都是形容词作表语,修饰figures,因此推断这里的They指的就是figures(人物),该题考查这些人物形象的相关内容。短文中指出Calder的早期作品都是用线制成的马戏团的小人物形象,后来才转向抽象的形象,故答案为C)。
