27、ducation.B. Economy.C. Travel.D. Insurance.DAugusto Esquivel is a sculptor who, in his own words, is “crazy with comparisons of reality and potential and the balance between them.” Perhaps the best example of what hes talking about are his most famous creations: the suspended(悬挂的) button sculptures.
28、Made entirely from buttons hanging on various lengths of string, Esquivels sculptures are made to look like common objects: a piano, a gumball machine, and even a toilet. If it wasnt for the clear string hanging above, these objects, these sculptures, would look solid, yet you can put your hands rig
29、ht through them. The process starts with him deciding on a subject and setting the acrylic （丙烯酸树脂）from where the buttons are being suspended. He buys buttons of different shapes and sizes, paints them with spray paint, and carefully hangs them. After that, its a manner of hanging each individual but
30、ton, which takes a lot of time. For his piano, for example, he individually hung over 60 pounds worth of tiny buttons.Esquivels sculptures, while mostly housed inside art galleries, perfectly capture one of the main principles of street art: something that is eye-catching and something that invites
31、interaction. Often the best sculptures outside the art galleries arent the ones behind guards and fencing, but the ones people can go right up to and touch. In Vancouver, a series of laughing old men are attracting people for pictures and to just generally hang around, but the people who simply walk
32、 by and see the sculptures almost always leave with a smile on their face. Thats good street art: it draws the viewer in rather than relying on a gallery to draw in an audience and point them to certain pieces. Esquivels art is not only a presentation of talent, something that mentions larger philos
33、ophical questions, like the ones he stated above, but also just the right combination of interesting idea and painstaking work. One can look at his work in a critical way, or simply appreciate his idea and execution(艺术品的制作).13. What are Esquivels sculptures mainly made of?A. Clay.B. Iron.C. Gum.D. B
34、uttons.14. Which statement is WRONG according to Paragraph 3?A. Some of Esquivels sculptures are displayed outside art galleries.B. Esquivels art is good street art.C. People cant touch Esquivels sculptures involve interaction.D. Esquivels sculptures can catch peoples eye and involve interaction.15.
35、 Which of the following in NOT what Esquivels art wants to present?A. Talent.B. Idealism.C. Philosophical questions.D. Painstaking work.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。London has become a cycle-friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. 16 17 First
