nerations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of slow art intended to push viewers and Participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today39。s shortterm thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture—not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention. In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time—a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than30seconds on each piece of art.Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it39。s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I39。ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the Pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.(1)According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happenin2117? A.A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.B.The Future Library will be0pen to the public for the first time.C.Photos with a 100year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.D.Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2017 will be displayed.(2)What can we learn about today39。s people39。s attitude toward works of art?

They aim to challenge today39。s shortterm thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately.”可知,慢速藝術(shù)的目的是鼓勵人們更多地關(guān)注藝術(shù)作品。故選D。(4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it39。s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. ‘Since I started living in a city, I39。ve somehow been quite disconnected,’”可知,安妮感覺城市生活是忙碌的。故選D。【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,選出正確答案。8.閱讀下列短文,從短文后每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。 Youth football team members rescued more than two weeks after sudden flooding trapped them in a cave in Thailand are now being well looked after at a hospital in the northern city of Chiang Rai. In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave. The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living in a cave provides a different environment, which might contain animals that could transmit…disease, said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been told to watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, the reports added. Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the cave plex39。s main entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats in the cave or breathed in batassociated bacteria during their rescue, several infectious disease experts said. It39。s hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave because of all those narrow passageways, but it is possible, says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. It39。s unlikely that there would be many animals in there, notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that studies diseases and how to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enter and exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds. Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it seems more likely the boys would have been exposed to infectioncausing bacteria when they swam through the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health care for these kids, number one would be psychological damage and second will be bacterial infections from the cuts and scrapes they may have encountered. Lipkin says.(1)According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential sympto
