新素养·思维品质 You have probably seen many cartoons during your life. Some of these cartoons appear in newspapers and 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 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 in their works. 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 that cartoons are art. For example, some cartoons tend to deal with very recent issues, such as political cartoons that appear in newspapers. They show an important news item of the day. However, in a few years, 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
B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了卡通是否属于艺术品。
1. B 写作手法题。根据第二段“You can probably think of many famous works of art, like the Mona Lisa or David.”可知，作者通过列举著名艺术品《蒙娜丽莎》和《大卫》，介绍传统艺术品是艺术家为特定目的而创作的。故选B。
2. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, in a few years, 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.”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。故选B。
3. C 补全文章题。所填句“这使卡通能够比大多数传统艺术形式接触到更多的人。”介绍卡通的优点，根据第三段“Cartoons have an advantage over the works of art you see in museums too ... Most people do not need to stare at a cartoon for a long time to understand its meaning.”可知卡通不需要人们去博物馆，通过报纸或网络就能轻松获取，且内容简单易懂，所填句是对第三段内容的总结与提升，最适合放在第三段末尾。故选C。
4. B 推理判断题。结合文章内容可知，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；第三段介绍支持卡通为艺术品的观点；第四段介绍反对卡通为艺术品的观点。由此可知本文的核心目的是展示关于“卡通是否为艺术品”的不同观点。故选B。
