南昌新民外语学校 2025-2026 高二（下）英语周练卷（1） 分值：126 分 一、阅读理解（共 12 小题，每小题 3 分，满分 36 分） A ANCIENT CHINESE ART ON SHOW The Richfield Museum of Fine Art is proud to present our new exhibition, “From Shang to Qing: Chinese Art Through the Ages.” Join us as we explore more than 3,000 years of wonderful art from the Middle Kingdom. From bronze bowls to ceramic vases, and jade sculptures to ink wash paintings, our goal is to display the Chinese artistic genius from ancient times. The highlight of this exhibition is the painting Clearing After Snow on a Mountain Pass, one of the great works of Tang Yin (1470-1524). Born during the Ming Dynasty, Tang sought and failed to gain entry into the civil service, so he turned to painting instead. In time, he gained recognition as one of the greatest artists China has ever known. This painting, showing high mountains, trees, and houses covered in snow, was made with extraordinary skill. Though it is over 500 years old, it looks as fresh and full of life as the day it was created. Also of primary note is a collection of nearly 100 bronze objects from the Shang Dynasty (1600 BCE-1046 BCE). While the artists who made these great works are not known, they showed great skill in creating these beautiful pieces. Some of the items on display are thought to have come from the collection of Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799), a great admirer of Shang Dynasty bronze. Finally, we have many fine examples of Tang Dynasty (618-907) sculptures. Most of these are of Buddhist origin. Even though Buddhism entered China much earlier, it did not really begin to show expansion until the seventh century. During this same period, trade along the Silk Road also boomed. Chinese sculpture thus found itself highly influenced by Buddhist art brought from India and Central Asia through the Silk Road. These works were intended to spread Buddhism and they are of exceptional beauty and quality. Looking at the faces ofthe figures in these sculptures, one sees the faces ofthe past. History is brought to life. This is just a small taste of what is in store for you in this exhibition. We guarantee that “From Shang to Qing: Chinese Art Through the Ages” will transport you to another time with its amazing 试卷第 1 页，共 9 页 collection of works.Opening Hours: Tuesday-Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Last entry: 4:00 PM) Weekends: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM (Last entry: 6:00 PM) Closed on Mondays Ticket Information: Adults: $15 Seniors (65+): $10 Students (with ID): $8 Children under 12: Free Group bookings (10+): 20% discount For more information, please contact us at info@richfieldmuseum.org or call (555) 123-4567. 1 ．What is the primary purpose of this text A ．To promote an exhibition featuring Chinese art through different dynasties.
