　　　　　                                    Art in 21st Century Life
　　The word “art"usually brings to mind images of white - walled galleries,abstract paintings costing millions of dollars,far removed from our everyday experience.　　1
　　The Internet has changed the idea that art appreciation is only for the noble.　　2　　You can even visit several museums around the world using virtual reality headsets,without leaving your home.
　　　3　　Art has always been a vehicle for self - expression,but social media have made it much easier to share amateur work with the whole world.　Where an amateur artist or musician might one have shared their work with a circle of friends and family,they can now sell their work to anyone in the world.
　　“A picture is worth a thousand words”is the motto of data visualisation enthusiasts.The amount of information available today can be overwhelming，so some statisticians(数据分析师)made it their mission to present this mass of data using infographics that are easy for the public to understand.　　4　　Of course,graphs can be abused to mislead the audience,so we need to take care to interpret them the right way.

Another way that art facilitates education is by helping us to conceptualise things that are invisible to the naked eye.　　5　　Likewise,the mind - bending concepts in physics such as black holes can be better understood with the help of illustrators who have backgrounds in both art and science.

答案： 语篇导读　本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了艺术离我们的生活很近，并且能够带来很大的价值。
1.B　上文“The word ‘art’ usually brings to mind images of white - walled galleries, abstract paintings costing millions of dollars, far removed from our everyday experience.”说明艺术需要花费大量的金钱，与我们相去甚远。下文“The Internet has changed the idea that art appreciation is only for the noble.”说明互联网的出现使得艺术与我们更为接近。B项承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
2.G　上文“The Internet has changed the idea that art appreciation is only for the noble.”和下文“You can even visit several museums around the world using virtual reality headsets, without leaving your home.”都在讲互联网的出现使得艺术与我们更为接近。G项呼应上下文，继续讲互联网给艺术与人们之间的关系带来的好处。故选G。
3.D　下文“Art has always been a vehicle for self - expression... they can now sell their work to anyone in the world.”说明网民不仅是艺术的消费者也是艺术的创作者和参与者。D项引出下文，符合语境。故选D。
