3.Plastic bags are a popular container in much of the world,but they are also a major source of pollution which need hundreds of years to break down,and as they do,tiny pieces can poison soil,lakes,rivers and oceans.So,environment experts urge people to reuse and recycle plastic bags.
Maryland artist Allita Irby just does so.It all starts with the morning newspaper,and the plastic bag that the paper comes in.The mixed media artist recognized its rich possibilities three years ago."As I was taking the newspaper out,I felt the texture (質地) of these bags.I just looked down and realized it takes three to make a braid (發(fā)辮).I'll just put a few main materials in just to make it strong enough."Since then,Irby has been using plastic bags to create abstract lines in her art works.
Before using plastic bags in her pieces,Irby used natural materials like feathers,leather and dried plants,all of which contain elements that represent her Native American ancestry and identity,like her piece called"Navaho Bundles"."I was making a hair style,a Navaho hair style when the hair was heavy and it was looped back on itself.I took the piece and looped it back onto itself and secured it with a tie.
Ms.Irby's neighbors praise her ability to turn wastes into treasure.Some people,like Charlotte Hogan,asked the artist to teach them how to create art from used plastic bags.Aleta Meyer expressed surprise,"I've never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag.This is definitely different."Shirley Watts plans to show others her art."I want to make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it on my wall and then I know that I did it,"she said.
Allita Irby says anyone can do it and all you have to do is open your eyes and bring the outside in.

51.The first paragraph is written to offerD.
A.the conditions of making plastics
B.the importance of plastic bags 
C.the reason for using plastics
D.the background of the story

A.will never use plastic bags herself
B.pays much attention to her hair style
C.was born in a Native American family
D.only uses plastics to make art works now
53.What do you know about Allita Irby's art works before she used plastic bags?D
A.They are similar to Navaho hair styles.
B.They are actually tools used in daily life.
C.They offer Irby the inspiration to recycle plastic bags.
D.They are made of natural materials.

C.They are active in protecting the environment.
D.They learn art from the same master.
55.As for art works made from wastes,C.
A.Watts follows Irby to make art works.
B.Meyer says she'll never make plastic arts.
C.Irby thinks what it needs is to discover beauty.
D.Hogan thinks they are the best ones for churches.

分析 本文主要介紹了美國馬里蘭州混合媒體藝術家Allita Irby 是如何將廢棄的塑料袋用在她的藝術作品中創(chuàng)作抽象線條的,另外文中還介紹了她的塑料藝術作品對其鄰居們的影響.

解答 答案:
51.D    內容歸納題   第一段主要針對塑料袋的危害,指出了環(huán)境專家們對人們的要求,即敦促人們回收和循環(huán)利用塑料袋;換句話說,本段主要介紹了本文的寫作背景;故選D.
52.C    細節(jié)推理題    A.她自己將絕不會使用塑料袋;B.非常注意她的發(fā)型;C.出生于美國土著家庭;D.現(xiàn)在只用塑料做藝術品;由于第二段主要介紹了美國馬里蘭州混合媒體藝術家Allita Irby 是如何循環(huán)利用塑料袋的(將其用在她的藝術作品中創(chuàng)作抽象線條的);因此文中并沒有提到A、B與D選項;根據(jù)本段中的第一句"Maryland artist Allita Irby"可知,Allita Irby是美國馬里蘭州的藝術家;故選C.
53.D   細節(jié)理解題     根據(jù)第三段的第一句"Before using plastic bags in her pieces,Irby used natural materials like feathers,leather and dried plants,"可知,Irby在將塑料袋運用到她的作品中之前,她使用像羽毛,皮革和干燥的植物這樣的天然材料,故選D.
54.A    內容歸納題    通讀第四段可知,第一句"Ms.Irby's neighbors praise her ability to turn wastes into treasure."為本段的中心句,主要介紹了Irby的鄰居們對她變廢為寶的能力的贊揚,因此本段中提到的Charlotte Hogan、Aleta Mryer、Sjirley Watts 都是Irby的鄰居,所以他們的共同點應是:他們住在同一個地區(qū),故選A.
55.C    細節(jié)理解題    A.Watts想跟著 Irby 學習制作藝術品;B.Meyer說她永遠不會做塑料藝術;C.Irby認為它所需要的是去發(fā)現(xiàn)美;D.Hogan 認為對于教會來說,他們是最好的;根據(jù)第四段中的"Some people,like Charlotte Hogan,asked the artist to teach them how to create art from used plastic bags"可知,是Charlotte Hogan想跟著 Irby學習制作塑料藝術品,而不是Watts,故排除A;根據(jù)"Aleta Meyer expressed surprise,"I've never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag."可知Meyer從來沒有想過用塑料袋還能做些什么,而不是她說她永遠不會做造型藝術,故排除B;在文中并沒有提到D;根據(jù)最后一段可知,Irby認為只要善于發(fā)現(xiàn)美,每一個人都能做到像她那樣;故選C.

點評 做本題時,首先應快速瀏覽全文,把握文章的大意以及作者的寫作思路;其次,可以通過對相關細節(jié)的理解,概括段落大意,以及通過邏輯推理或內容歸納,選出正確的答案.
