【题目】Several weeks ago, kidsPost did a story on “The Art of Video Games” at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The exhibition has created debate with some people saying that as fun as video games are ,they are not works of art. Other people say that videos games may be a new form of art and that they belong to in museums. We asked readers for their opinions on the topic. Here are a few of the letters we received.

A video game is like a painting on a screen. In order to make a video game, you have to think of something original(新颖的)to reach the players. This is the point of Art.

---Mary Pottanat,13

I believe video games are not a form of art. Art should be a visual (视觉的)and creative expression of feelings. Although it is arguable that video games are visual ,they do not express feelings in any way.

---Prannab Kirshnan,12

However exciting video games are, they are not art. Painting is art, but not video games. Art has beauty and culture that no technology could ever compare to. Even though you can create art in some video games, the Mona Lisa” wasn’t painted with Nintendo.

---Caroline Kaplan,10

Art is a way of communicating ideas to the public in a way that is fun to them. The “public”, who in this case are kids and adults, are finding these video games from different time periods interesting. Video games would not have been art if it had not been for the kids and adults attracted by “the art of video games”.

---Ryan Puthumana,10

【解析】

试题分析:这篇文章主要介绍了kidsPost有关video games是不是艺术的几封读者来信。

1C考查判断推理题。根据第一段的最后一句话“We asked readers for their opinions on the topic. Here are a few of the letters we received.”注意关键词readers。可知这是kidsPost的工作人员在向kidsPost的作者征求意见,因此这篇文章也是由kidsPost的工作人员写的。

2B考查细节理解题。根据题干Ryan Puthumana定位到最后一封读者来信。在这封来信中第一句Ryan表示以一种有趣的方式与大众交流想法就是艺术。第二句指出大众认为video games很有趣。最后一句更是通过双重否定直接肯定video games是艺术。易知选B。

3A考查细节理解题。通读这四篇读者来信可知Mary和Ryan认为video games是艺术,Prannab和Caroline认为video games不是艺术。因此B、D与文意不符。C项在文中没有体现。

4C考查主旨大意题。根据第一段最后“We asked readers for their opinions on the topic.”以及后面的读者来信可知这篇文章主要讲的就是关于一个video games是不是艺术的话题。
