Saving a City's Public Art

Avoiding traffic jams in Los Angeles may be impossible, but the city‘s colorful freeway murals (壁画)can brighten even the worst commute. Paintings that depict (描述)famous people and historical scenes cover office buildings and freeway walls all access the city. With a collection of more than 2,000 murals, Los Angeles is the unofficial mural capital of the world.

But the combination of graffiti (涂鸦),pollution, and hot sun has left many L.A. murals in terrible condition. ________(46)In the past, experts say, little attention was given to caring for public art. Artists were even expected to maintain their own works, not an easy task with cars racing by along the freeway.

【解析】这个空是位于段落中间的，所以前后的句子都可以看。先看横线前的句子开头就是一个But表示转折，说明是接着上一段的内容在讲。这句话中的关键词有：graffiti(涂鸦)，pollution，hot sun ，这句话主要是讲由于涂鸦，污染和烈日的破坏，洛杉矶的很多壁画情况都非常糟糕了。看6个选项，哪一个选项里面出现了这句话中的关键词，就可以考虑作为正确选项。

【答案】E

________ (47)Thework started in 2003. So far,16 walls have been selected and more may be added later.

【解析】回归到原文句子。这个横线是位于该段的句首的，所以只能看横线后面的句子。横线后的句子很简单，是说“这项工作是从2003年开始的”。据此推测，前面的句子可能会说明是什么样的工作。

【解析】其实联系上一段讲到的保护壁画的内容，也能推断这里应该就是指保护这些壁画的工作。看剩下的5个选项，C.Now the city is beginning a huge project to restore the city’s murals.就是指“现在这个城市已经开始了一项巨大的工程，用来重新修复这些壁画”，原文句子中的Thework也就是指代a huge project。填入横线处是符合上下文的逻辑的。

【答案】C

Until about 1960, public murals in Los Angeleswere rare. But in the 1960s and 1970s, young L.A. artists began to study early 20th-century Mexican mural painting.________ (48)

【解析】横线位于本段的段末，那就只有看横线前面的句子。横线前的句子里面的的特殊词有一个是Mexican。其实前面已经划出了每一个选项的关键词，可以发现，D里也有这个特殊的信息词，由此可以推测这个选项很有可能就是正确答案。再看前面这句话是讲洛杉矶的年轻艺术家们开始学习20世纪早期的墨西哥的壁画画法。而D选项中还有一个关键的词是because，表示原因了，说明了艺术家们喜欢壁画是因为他们喜欢墨西哥艺术家们的作品。从逻辑上来看，也是合理的。

【答案】D

The most famous mural in the city is Judith Baca‘s “The Great Wall,” a 13-foot-high (4-meter-high)painting that runs for half a mile (0.8 kilometer)in North Hollywood. ________ (49)It took eight years to complete—400 underprivileged teenagers painted the designs—and is probably the longest mural in the world.

【解析】横线位于段中，先看横线前的句子里面有一个高级的表达The most famous mural (有名的壁画)，后面是对这个壁画的外观的具体描述。那么推测后面可能会对这个壁画的内容进行描述。看剩下的3个选项，F.The mural represents the history of ethnic groups in California.意思是：这个壁画描绘了California的族群的历史，represent表示“代表”的意思,但是在这里，可以理解为“描绘”。

【答案】F
