视频学重难
You have probably seen many cartoons during your life. Some of these cartoons appear in newspapers and others are in books. Others are seen in full-length movies and TV shows. Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art?
Works of art are made by artists for a certain purpose. Usually, works of art are made by people to illustrate an idea or show part of a story. You can probably think of many famous works of art, like the *Mona Lisa* or *David*. These works of art took a long time to create. The people who made them wanted to show an important idea about the subject of their art. When people think of works of art, they usually think of paintings or sculptures that are known to even people who know little about art. Year after year, people come to look at the *Mona Lisa*'s strange smile. The sculpture *David* is similar—a lot of people know the story of how David fought a giant. The sculpture shows David as a hero. Since most of us wish we were heroes, *David* interests us no matter who we are.
Cartoons can be seen in the same way, since many people who draw cartoons go to art school and study how to create pictures and stories. They think carefully about what ideas or stories they want to show with their work. Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet. Cartoons talk about ideas that are important to people in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Most people do not need to stare at a cartoon for a long time to understand its meaning.
However, not everyone agrees with the idea that cartoons are art. For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues, such as political(政治的) cartoons that appear in newspapers. They show an important news item of the day. However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art.

答案
Ⅳ. [文章大意]本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕"卡通是否属于艺术品"这一话题展开论述,既阐述了支持卡通为艺术品的观点,也说明了部分人认为卡通不属于艺术品的理由。
1. D [解析]细节理解题。根据"For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues ... However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item. This means that they will not understand what the cartoon is about. Additionally, some people argue that cartoons take less time to make than other works of art, so they are not true pieces of art."可知,部分人认为卡通不是艺术品的原因之一是有些卡通只涉及近期事件,缺乏持久价值,多年后人们可能因不了解相关背景而无法理解其含义;且有人认为卡通制作时间短。故选 D。
2. A [解析]词义猜测题。根据"People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet."可知,人们需前往博物馆才能看到著名艺术品,而卡通在报纸或互联网上就能轻易看到,这体现了卡通相较于博物馆艺术品的"优势"。因此"advantage"应表示"更好的事物;优势",与"Something better"含义一致。故选 A。
3. B [解析]推理判断题。文章第一段提出核心问题"Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art?";第二段介绍艺术品的定义和特点;第三段阐述支持卡通为艺术品的理由;第四段说明反对卡通为艺术品的观点。由此可知,文章的核心目的是呈现关于"卡通是否为艺术品"的不同观点。故选 B。
4. C [解析]句子还原题。题干句子"This makes it possible for cartoons to reach more people than most traditional art forms"中的"this"应指代前文提到的"卡通易于获取"的特点。第三段提到"Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums too. People need to travel to museums to see famous works of art, but a cartoon is as near as the newspaper or the internet.",该内容正是"卡通易于获取"的体现,与题干句子构成逻辑衔接,使得其能接触到更多人。故选 C。
5. Yes, I think so. Cartoons can express deep ideas in simple ways, and they are created carefully by artists just like other art forms. (开放性试题,答案言之有理即可)
1. D [解析]细节理解题。根据"For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues ... However, in a few years, the people who look at the cartoons may not know anything about that news item.

解析
【分析】
首先通读全文，明确本文核心讨论话题为“卡通是否属于艺术品”，梳理行文逻辑：首段抛出核心疑问，第二段介绍传统艺术品的特征，第三段阐述支持卡通属于艺术品的依据，第四段说明反对者的观点。解题时可按题型逐一突破：1. 细节题直接回文定位反对者的表述，逐一排除不符合原文的选项；2. 词义猜测题结合上下文的对比逻辑，推断划线词的含义；3. 写作意图题结合全文的内容排布，判断作者的写作目的；4. 句子还原题抓住指代线索词This，找到前文对应的指代内容，匹配逻辑最通顺的段落；5. 开放题结合文中给出的相关观点，清晰表述自己的立场并给出合理理由即可。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：定位原文第四段内容，反对者认为部分卡通仅聚焦近期时事，多年后人们不了解相关背景就无法理解卡通含义，同时认为卡通制作耗时更短，对应选项D“一些卡通没有持久价值”符合原文表述。选项A和原文“cartoons take less time to make”相悖，选项B、C原文未提及，均排除，故选D。
2. 词义猜测题：划线词所在句后文提到，人们需要专程去博物馆才能观赏知名艺术品，但卡通在报纸、互联网上随处可得，这是卡通相较于传统艺术品的优势，也就是“更好的事物”，对应选项A，其余选项均不符合此处逻辑，故选A。
3. 推理判断题：全文开篇提出“卡通是不是艺术品”的核心问题，既介绍了支持卡通属于艺术品的理由，也说明了反对者的相关观点，整体是呈现围绕该话题的不同看法，对应选项B。选项A文中未提及卡通艺术家的创作步骤，选项C文中没有表达“人们更喜欢传统艺术品”的倾向，选项D仅概括了第三段内容，不能覆盖全文，均排除，故选B。
4. 句子还原题：待还原句子中This指代“卡通更容易被大众获取”的特点，第三段后半部分刚好介绍了卡通相比博物馆艺术品更容易获得的优势，衔接该句“这让卡通比大多数传统艺术形式能触达更多受众”逻辑完全通顺，放在第三段末尾最合适，故选C。
5. 本题为开放性试题，立场正反均可，只要理由贴合文本内容、表述通顺合理即可。
