D. Read the passage and complete the tasks(阅读短文并完成任务)(第 67 至 71 题,每题 2 分;第72题,共6分;共16分)
Not many people get to work surrounded by masterpieces(杰作) every single day. Marie, a painting restorer who works at the Louvre Museum in Paris, is one of them. She spends her days in a quiet studio behind the public galleries,carefully bringing damaged artworks back to life.
Marie did not plan to become a restorer when she was young. She originally studied fine arts at university,hoping to become a painter herself. It was during an internship(实习) at a local museum that she first watched a senior restorer at work. The patience and focus the restorer showed left a deep impression on her. “I realised that saving something beautiful is just as meaningful as creating it,” she later said.
The work is far from simple. Before touching a painting,Marie has to study it carefully under special lighting to find cracks, faded colours, or areas where the paint has lifted. She uses tools such as fine brushes and tweezers to remove dirt and apply new materials. Some paintings that are badly damaged may take months or even years to restore fully.
What makes the job especially demanding is the responsibility it carries. Every decision Marie makes could affect a work of art that has survived for centuries. There is no room for mistakes. Yet it is exactly this pressure that she finds rewarding. “When I finish a piece and see the colours come alive again,I feel like I've given it a second chance,” she explained.
Outside the studio,Marie sometimes gives talks to school groups who visit the museum. She hopes that young people will understand why preserving cultural heritage matters. In her view,a painting is not just an object—it is a story that connects us to the past. As long as there are people willing to do this careful,quiet work,those stories will never be lost.
Task 1:Answer the questions.
67. What is Marie’s job and where does she work?
68. How did Marie first become interested in painting restoration?
69. Why does Marie say there is “no room for mistakes” in her work?
70. What does “it” refer to in the sentence “it is exactly this pressure that she finds rewarding”?
71. Apart from her work in the studio,what else does Marie do at the museum?
Task 2:
72. A school student asks Marie,“Why should young people care about old paintings?” What might Marie say? (Within 30 words)
