But one institution in Texas is doing its part to make sure middle schoolers are returning refreshed and inspired to learn. Through a process called the bathroom inspiration project, teachers and administrators at Warren Middle School, spent their summer beautifying the school39。s restrooms by painting motivational murals (壁畫) on each of the stalls (小隔間).Forming messages like Your mistakes don39。t define you and Scatter (撒播) kindness, the brightly colored words are exactly what a young student needs to see when having a rough dayor any school day for that matter. And now that classes are officially in session, people are already noticing a positive impact. Since posting photos of upgrades to the school in July, Principal Joshua Garcia says that the alterations have aroused a great response. Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted. Some even took the time to find a reason to e up to the campus to see the murals, he says. I think what makes this small little action so valuable is that it has set the tone for our campus. And not only is that important to students, parents, and fellow staff, but it is also vital for the school39。s new principal, who is trying to gain the trust of the munity during a time in which trust is so necessary for schools. Being new to the campus, I think the parents were able to see how much I value their children and have their best interest at heart, Garcia continues. I have had many parents tell me how they can just feel a difference in the campus climate and how much they are enjoying seeing their children wanting to e here. These murals have put trust back in the campus and its teachers, and by doing so we are able to build a culture in which our students want to be here and learn.（1）What has happened at Warren Middle School? has bee popular among most students. students have suffered great anxiety at school. toilets have been beautified with inspiring words. murals have been made in each classroom.（2）What does the underlined word alterations in Paragraph 3 probably mean? （3）What39。s students and parents39。 attitude toward those murals? （4）What does Garcia intend to do according to the text? increasing anxiety. an artistic atmosphere. a trusting environment. a new culture to society.【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，德克薩斯州的一所中學(xué)繪制衛(wèi)生間文化墻，用正能量的語言激勵學(xué)生，從而獲得學(xué)生和家長的一致好評。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Through a process called the‘bathroom inspiration project,’ teachers and administrators at Warren Middle School, spent their summer beautifying the school39。s restrooms by painting motivational murals on each of the stalls Forming messages like ‘Your mistakes don39。t define you’and‘Scatter kindness,’可知，該中學(xué)用勵志語言美化了衛(wèi)生間的每一個小隔間。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“doing its part to make sure middle schoolers are returning refreshed and inspired to learn,”以及本段劃線單詞前面的Since posting photos of upgrades to the school和后面的have aroused a great response 可推知，該校別具一格的特色改變引起了大家的關(guān)注。故alterations在此意為“改變”。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted.

Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries. History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today39。s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future. In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because the general principles of taste are uniform(不變的) in human nature, the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries. Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the longlasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.（1）According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?
