A car was stuck around the tree’s base, its engine on fire.“I grabbed buckets of water.” Dan told the reporter. Then he and his girlfriend ran to the crash site. The car was divided nearly in two, and the tree was where the driver’s seat ought to have been, as if planted there. There was 16-year-old Thompson, his terrified face pressed against the driver’s side window, in great pain. Dan tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water with no success. “When the flames got into the front seats, I realized I had to get him out of there.” he told WAGM-TV.“I feel like I just did what had to be done.” said Dan. Regardless of his own safety, Dan opened the car’s back door and crawled in. Thompson was struggling to get free. Dan said, “That’s when I noticed how bad his legs were.” Using a pocket knife, he cut off Thompson’s seat belt. Dan pulled him out of the window of the vehicle, and then dragged him to safety before the entire car was engulfed in flames. Although Thompson suffered serious injuries in his legs, he looked great, smiling. Dan thought about that day often. “There was a voice deep down telling me to act at once.” He said.24.What do we know from the text?A.Dan put out the fire with water at once.B.Dan saved Thompson from the car accident.C.Thompson and his girlfriend were trapped in the car.D.Thompson got free from the seat with a knife by himself.25.Which of the following best explains “engulf” underlined in the last paragraph?A.Swallowed.B. Exposed.C. Affected.D. Polluted.26. Which of the following words can best describe Dan?A. Enthusiastic and talented.B. Courageous and calm.C. Cooperative and generous.D. Ambitious and professional.CEven though a lot of art galleries and museums are free in the UK, many people seldom visit them for fear that they won’t understand the art on display. They are afraid that other visitors may be more knowledgeable and that everyone else there understands what the artworks mean. But this simply isn’t true. Everyone is equal in front of an artwork and there are no wrong answers.Modern art can be particularly difficult to understand and appreciate but enjoying an artwork is a natural gift. Do you like it or not? Do you want to find out more or not? It really is that simple.A very well-respected art historian, Ernst Gombrich believed that a viewer completed the artwork, and that part of an artwork’s meaning came from the person viewing it. So, you see—even if you don’t have an art history degree, there really are no wrong answers, as the viewer is completing the artwork.But there are things you can do to understand and appreciate art a little bit more. When I look at an artwork, I undertake a visual analysis. I look at the formal elements—color, texture, size. Imagine we’re viewing a painting. I look at the color; I look at the brushstrokes; I look at what is being described. If you’re looking at artworks in a gallery, read the wall text at the side of the artwork. If staff are present, ask questions. Ask your fellow visitors what they think. Asking questions is the key to understanding more. But above all, have confidence in front of an artwork. If you are appreciating an artwork, then you are the intended viewer and what you think matters. You are the only critic that counts.27. According to the text, why do people seldom visit museums?A.

A diary.B. An art magazine.C. A novel.D. A science report.30.What can be the best title for the text?A. How to understand artB. The power of artworksC. The road to modern artD.
