8、第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节, 满分40分）第一节（共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AArt is everywhere in our lives. Every man-made object is linked with art. Throughout history, humans have made articles for a wide variety of purposes；generally for everyday practical requirements

9、. The style of practical objects reflects the outlook and the spirit of the times in which they are made.It seems that humans possess a natural urge to improve constructed objects with decoration：sometimes for beautification, sometimes for religious reasons, sometimes to show off their wealth and po

10、wer, and sometimes to tell a story. Unnecessary decoration can ruin the form and perhaps the function of an object, but when decoration is used with care, it can beautify, produce variety, and add interest.The first essential(要点)in every creation is that it should properly fulfil its purpose；for ins

11、tance, a teapot should pour perfectly, a block of flats should be a pleasant place in which to live, and a factory or commercial building should be a suitable building in which to work.The second essential is that an object should please the eye with its form, line, proportion(比例), colour and textur

Designs in the 1980s and 1990s included streamlining(流线型)to reduce wind resistance in fast-moving vehicles, and, at t

15、he same time, satisfy an important art principlerhythm. But the cars of today, often half size of their predecessors(前身), have taken the concept of industrial design way beyond simple strength, comfort and beauty. They now include safety and ecological characteristics, for example, reduced fuel consumption, while at the same time satisfying the need to be stylish, and appealing to the eye. For many people, the 21st-century car represents the greatest work of art.21. What point does the author make about decorating objects?A. It is something people would have always d
