(青铜) of the second and first millennia BC are some of the most distinctive achievements in the history of art.These vessels (容器) were made to carry sacrificial offerings, to use in burial or to honor noble families in public ceremonies.When they were found by emperors centuries later, these spiritually significant objects were seen as signs of heavenly messages about a ruler or a dynasty and became prized items in royal collections.This exhibitionthe first to explore these ancient objects throughout Chinese historypresents a rare opportunity to experience a large number of these works together in the United States.Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from Bronze Age China (about 2000BC221 BC) were vessels for ceremonial use.Beginning with the Song dynasty (9601279), emperors unearthed these symbolic works and began collecting them, considering them to be evidence of their own authority as rulers.In addition to impressive collections, the royal fascination with bronzes led to the creation of numerous reproductions and the comprehensive cataloguing of palace holdings.These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.From the 12th century onward, scholars and artists also engaged in collecting and understanding ancient bronzes.Unlike emperors, scholars regarded bronzes as material evidence of their efforts to recover and reconstruct the past, and they occasionally exchanged them as tokens (象征) of friendship.Today ancient bronzes still occupy a primary position in Chinese culture as historical objects and as signifiers of an important cultural heritage that inspires new generations, as seen in the works of contemporary artists on view in this presentation.Mirroring Chinas Past brings together approximately 180 works from the An Institute of Chicagos strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States.By providing viewers with a new understanding of ancient bronzes and their significance through time, the exhibition demonstrates Chinas fascinating history and its developing present.4.In what way are Chinese bronzes different from Greek and Roman ones?A.They fascinated the royal family.B.They took animal or human forms.C.They served ceremonial purposes.D.They were important cultural heritage.5.What does the author think of catalogues of bronzes?A.Unreal.B.Creative.C.Artistic.D.Necessary.6.What can we infer about the exhibition according to the text?A.It is held in China.B.It is arranged by time.C.It is organized by scholars.D.It includes modern artworks.7.What does the underlined word “holdings” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Viewers.B.Collections.C.Museums.D.Art dealers.语篇解读:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是一次艺术品展览,这个展览主要展出的是中国的青铜器。答案及剖析:4.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的Unlike Greek and Roman bronze sculptures of human and animal forms, most objects from Bronze Age China (about 2000 BC221 BC) were vessels for ceremonial use.可知,中国的青铜器和希腊罗马青铜器不同之处在于中国的大多数青铜器用于仪式使用,也就是礼器,故选C。5.C推理判断题。根据第二段最后These catalogues are works of art themselves, featuring beautiful drawings and detailed descriptions of each object.可知,作者认为青铜器目录本身就是艺术品,配有美丽的图画和每个物体详细的描述。故选C。6.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Mirroring Chinas Past brings together approximately 180 works from the An Institute of Chicagos strong holdings and from the Palace Museum in Beijing, the Shanghai Museum, and important museums and private collections in the United States.和the exhibition demonstrates Chinas
