High school programs at the National Gallery of Art value depth over breadth, exploring original works of art through a single specific question or theme. High School Studio Workshops
Single museum visit, 2.5 hours
Grades 9—12
These half-day art workshops include an in-depth examination and discussion of works of art in the galleries, followed by behind-the-scenes access to the Education Studio, where students create a related art project.
During the workshop, National Gallery of Art educators will encourage students to look carefully at works of art and then share their responses and develop theories based on their observations.
Students will have the opportunity to create a work of art in the studio inspired by what they have in the galleries.

In the August sun, it’s unbearably hot in my car. I’m in Vancouver, approaching the Knight Street Bridge as I try to get home after work. It’s 5:15 pm. Traffic is already slowing down and then it comes to a full stop. I’m stuck even before getting on the bridge.
This has become my normal work commute(上下班往返) routine. Ahead of me is a heavily jammed on-ramp(匝道). I stare at the endless rows of vehicles, depressed.
At first I think this is not how it looks. The traffic will soon start moving. Seconds pass. Minutes pass. Looking at the rows of cars and trucks glittering(闪光) in the sun, I start counting—299, 300, 301—and I give up.
Suddenly I remember I’m one of the 300 helpless drivers. But I stay alert (警觉的). When the cars do move, I move carefully, making sure not to bump into other vehicles. Finally, I make it onto the bridge. The traffic is still crawling at a snail’s pace. Tired and hungry, I become very anxious.
Just then, I hear a weak sound in the distance. The sound gradually becomes louder, until I can identify it as an ambulance approaching from behind. What do we do? The bridge is packed. There’s no room for us to move.
But I’m wrong. Every single car quickly, yet carefully, moves to the side. Without thinking, I follow suit. The lane remains open for a few seconds during which the ambulance flashes through.
Afterward, every car moves back. We close up the emergency lane, ready to continue our patient wait. Back in my spot, I’m awestruck. I forget my tiredness and hunger. My anxiety is gone. I start reflecting upon what 300 fellow drivers and I just did.
How did we do that? Despite our exhaustion, we collectively decided to help the stranger who needed the time more desperately than we did. We drew on our sympathy and intelligence, requiring no directives.
Although I may seem alone stuck on the bridge, I’m connected to all the other drivers. Together we could make the impossible possible.
4、How does the author feel when seeing the on-ramp?
A. Annoyed. B. Discouraged. C. Calm D. Shocked.
5、What does the author think when knowing an ambulance is approaching?
A. It will be hard for it to pass through.
B. Someone should direct the traffic.
C. All drivers will be willing to move.
D. Whoever is inside needs immediate help.
6、What does the word “awestruck” underlined in Paragraph 7 most probably mean?
A. Deeply anxious. B. Feeling amazed.
C. Extremely exhausted. D. Feeling depressed.
7、What does the author think made the miracle happen?
A. The drivers’ good driving skills. B. Instructions from a stranger.
C. People’s kindness. D. The ambulance’s rescue.
Of the 8,300 million tons of virgin(原始的) plastic produced up to the end of 2015, 6,300 million tons have been discarded(丢弃). Most of that plastic waste is still with us, buried in landfills or polluting the environment. Microplastics have been found in Antarctic sea ice, in the guts of animals that live in the deepest ocean trenches and in drinking water around the world.
But what if we could wave a magic wand and remove all plastics from our lives? For the sake of the planet, it would be a tempting prospect—but we’d quickly find out just how far plastic has spread to every aspect of our existence.
In hospitals, the loss of plastic would be devastating. “Imagine trying to run a dialysis(透析) unit with no plastic”, says Sharon George, senior lecturer in environmental sustainability and green technology at Keele University in the UK. Plastic is used in gloves, tubing, blood bags, sample tubes and more.
Some everyday plastic items are also vital for protecting health. Face masks, including plastic-based surgical masks and respirators(人工呼吸器), as well as reusable cloth masks, have helped slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. “A mask that you have for COVID is related to our safety and the safety of others,” says George. “The impact of taking that away could be loss of life if you took it away on a big scale.”
Our food system would also quickly come apart. We use packaging to protect food from damage in transit and preserve it long enough to reach supermarket shelves, as well as for communication and marketing. “I cannot imagine how plastic would be replaced completely in our system,” says Eleni Iacovidou, a lecturer in environmental management at Brunel University London.
Swapping out plastic packaging would have knock-on (产生连锁反应的) environmental effects. While glass has some advantages over plastic, such as being endlessly recyclable, a one-liter glass bottle can weigh as much as 800 g compared to a 40 g plastic one. When those heavier bottles and jars need to be transported over long distances, carbon emissions grow even more.
It’s clear that replacing one material with another won’t solve all our plastic problems.
8、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To give a definition. B. To report on a study.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To describe a phenomenon.
9、What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Interesting. B. Practical. C. Predictable. D. Destructive.
10、What is Eleni Iacovidou’s attitude toward removing plastic totally in food system?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Uninterested.
11、Which would be the best title for the text?
A. What if we stopped using plastic?
B. Is plastic packaging bad for the environment?
C. More recycling won’t solve plastic pollution
D. Swapping out plastic for sustainable living
Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.
In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500 kg and eat roughly 40 kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population controlled, tiger sharks here help the seagrass grow sustainably. A booming seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.
But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australia’s northeast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores(食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This raised the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay—would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive?
To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. “When uncontrolled, sea cows can rapidly destroy wide areas of seagrass,” said Nowicki.
Those findings emphasized that tiger sharks were playing an important role in preventing the reduction of seagrass in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline, the resilience of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.
When it comes to stimulating shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators(捕食者) continues to decline.
Aside from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. “Ultimately, if we are going to protect our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change while undertaking species protection at the same time.”
12、Why are tiger sharks vital to the marine ecosystem?
A. They feed on various sea animals.
B. They can store large amounts of CO2.
C. They can prevent the loss of seagrass.
D. They influence marine species distribution.
13、What did Rob Nowicki’s team want to find out in Eastern Australia?
A. How sea cows destroy the seagrass community.
B. How shark population influences the ocean ecosystem.
C. What was contributing to the declining number of tiger sharks.
D. What to do to recover the seagrass-dominated ecosystem.
14、What is the main reason for the population reduction of many top predators in marine ecosystems?
A. Climate change. B. Water pollution.
C. Loss of seagrass. D. Unsustainable fishing approaches.
15、What’s the main idea of the text?
A. We should protect our environment.
B. The number of tiger sharks is decreasing.
C. Climate change causes the loss of seagrass.
D. Tiger sharks are vital to the health of the marine ecosystem.

34、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said.

12、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由本文第二段中的关键句In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500 kg and eat roughly 40 kg of seagrass a day. Sea cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population controlled, tiger sharks here help the seagrass grow sustainably.(在澳大利亚西部鲨鱼湾的浅滩,海牛以海草为食,它们的体重可达500公斤,每天要吃大约40公斤的海草。海牛是虎鲨丰富的食物来源。通过控制海牛的数量,虎鲨帮助海草持续生长。)可知虎鲨吃海牛,海牛数量减少,海草数量可以增长,从而维持海洋生态平衡,所以推断出虎鲨对海洋生态系统至关重要是因为它们可以防止海草的流失。故选C。
13、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。由本文第三段中的关键句This raised the question: What if they were absent from the Shark Bay—would the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive?(这就提出了一个问题:如果鲨鱼湾没有了虎鲨,以海草为主的生态系统还能生存吗?)和第四段中的关键句To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed.(为了找到答案,由佛罗里达国际大学的Rob Nowicki领导的研究人员在东澳大利亚度过了一段时间,那里鲨鱼数量较少,海牛吃海草基本上不受干扰。)可知Rob Nowicki的团队想在澳大利亚东部找到是为了探究鲨鱼种群如何影响海洋生态系统。故选B。
14、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由本文倒数第二段的内容When it comes to stimulating shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators(捕食者) continues to decline.(在刺激鲨鱼数量方面,已经有了支持更可持续捕捞的运动,但该行业的很大一部分人没有改变他们的方法,这就是许多海洋顶级捕食者数量持续下降的原因。)可知不可持续的捕鱼方法是海洋生态系统中许多顶级捕食者数量减少的主要原因。故选D。
15、答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的内容Despite the bad reputation of sharks, they are crucial to the health of the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.(尽管鲨鱼名声不好,但它们对海洋生态系统的健康至关重要,甚至可以帮助对抗气候变化。)可知本文主要讲述了虎鲨对海洋生态系统健康的至关重要性。故选D。

解析：①考查定语从句。句意:社交媒体是一个平台,来自世界各地的人们可以相互联系和互动。分析句子可知,空处引导定语从句修饰前面的先行词platform,从句成分完整,先行词是一个地点,空处用关系副词where。故填where。
②考查时态和主谓一致。句意:它已经成为历史上最大的平台之一,改变了我们生活中的许多事情。分析句子可知,and连接前后两个并列的谓语,has become为第三人称单数、现在完成时,空处也保持一致,用has changed。故填has changed。

④考查不定式。句意:社交媒体为学生提供了一个学习和交流的平台。根据"provides a platform for students"可知,句子用了for sb. to do sth.的复合结构,空处需用动词不定式to learn,作platform的后置定语。故填to learn。

⑦考查现在分词。句意:社交媒体帮助他们毫无畏惧地分享自己的想法,让他们更有可能跳出固有的思维模式,发掘自己的才能。分析句子可知,句子成分完整,空处需用非谓语动词。空处以后的内容是前面行为的结果,用现在分词making作结果状语。故填making。

34、答案：
Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. She kept her head down with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s time for me to make an apology to Landy.” Catherine thought to herself. No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti? Are you crazy?”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. “Hi, Landy. I’m sorry about the spaghetti thing.” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. “I know it hurts you. Can you forgive us?” She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.
