六、阅读理解。（2025·江苏无锡期中）
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 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 strange smile of Mona Lisa. 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, like 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.
()1. Why do some people think cartoons are not works of art?
A. Because they think cartoons take longer time to create.
B. Because they think cartoons don't have deep meanings.
C. Because they think cartoons aren't for people of all ages.
D. Because they think some cartoons have no lasting value.
()2. What does the underlined word “advantage” mean in this passage?
A. Something better. B. Something worse. C. Something equal. D. Something similar.
()3. What can most possibly be the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the steps of how cartoon artists create their works.
B. To show different opinions on whether cartoons are works of art.
C. To explain why people prefer artworks like paintings to cartoons.
D. To share the reasons why cartoons are thought of as works of art.
()4. ＜创新考法—语篇逻辑＞ The following sentence would best be placed at the end of .
This makes it possible for cartoons to reach more people than most traditional art forms.
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4

1. D 【点拨】根据第四段内容可知，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。故选 D。
2. A 【点拨】根据第三段中的“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”。“advantage”应表示“更好的事物、优势”，与“Something better”含义一致。故选 A。
3. B 【点拨】根据文章第一段中的“Cartoons are very popular with people but are they works of art?”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 【点拨】根据第三段中的“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.”可知，卡通易于获取，题干句子与之构成逻辑衔接，使得其能接触到更多人。故选 C。

【分析】
1. 第1题是细节理解题，解题思路：定位题干关键词“some people think cartoons are not works of art”，在文章第四段提取反对者的理由，逐一匹配选项排除错误答案。
2. 第2题是词义猜测题，解题思路：结合第三段“艺术品需去博物馆看，卡通在报纸/互联网就能看到”的对比语境，推断advantage的含义，对应选项。
3. 第3题是主旨大意题，解题思路：梳理文章结构，第一段提出“卡通是否是艺术品”的核心问题，第二、三段阐述艺术品特点及卡通符合艺术品的理由，第四段讲反对观点，整体呈现不同看法，据此确定主旨。
4. 第4题是语篇逻辑题，解题思路：理解题干句子“卡通能接触更多人”的含义，分析各段落内容，找到与“卡通易获取、受众广”逻辑衔接的段落，确定插入位置。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据第四段内容，部分人认为卡通不是艺术品的原因包括：部分卡通涉及近期事件，几年后人们无法理解；制作时间短，缺乏持久价值。选项D“有些卡通没有持久价值”符合，A（时间长）错误，B（无深层含义）未提及，C（非各年龄段）未提及，故选D。
2. 第2题：第三段对比“需去博物馆看的艺术品”与“报纸/互联网就能看到的卡通”，说明卡通比艺术品更易获取，是优势，故advantage意为“更好的事物”，对应A选项，B（更差）、C（平等）、D（相似）均不符合，故选A。
3. 第3题：文章第一段提出“卡通是否是艺术品”的问题，第二、三段阐述相关理由，第四段讲反对观点，整体呈现关于“卡通是否为艺术品”的不同看法，对应B选项，A（创作步骤）未提及，C（更喜欢绘画）未提及，D（为什么是艺术品）仅为部分内容，故选B。
4. 第4题：题干句子意为“这让卡通比传统艺术接触更多人”，第三段提到卡通易获取（报纸/互联网），与该句逻辑衔接，故放在第三段末尾，对应C选项，A（第一段）、B（第二段）、D（第四段）均不符合，故选C。
