五、阅读理解
Last month, the artist Christo exhibited his new art sculpture. It is made up of 7,506 colourful barrels(桶) floating on a lake in Hyde Park in London. Christo calls it The London Mastaba. It is his first major outdoor art sculpture in Great Britain. The artwork is in the shape of a mastaba. It looks somewhat like a pyramid with a flat top. The London Mastaba is about 65 feet high, 98 feet wide and 130 feet long, and it weighs about 1. 3 million pounds. The metal barrels can be seen from hundreds of feet away.
"______"
Everyone who looks at it will see something different. Many will think the barrels are barrels of oil in the heart of one of London's oldest parks. They might wonder if Christo was making an announcement against pollution. Others will see a prism(棱柱体) or giant pixels (像素) or simply a shape. However, everyone must decide for themselves, the 83-year-old artist said. Christo said he had nothing special in mind when he created The London Mastaba. "There are no messages," Christo said. "There is something in it to discover yourself. I cannot direct you."
"A Stairway to the Sky"
"It's created a giant invitation, like a stairway to the sky," Christo said. The artist was standing on the banks of the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park where his artwork floats. Swans are swimming nearby. Some barrels are red with a white candy stripe on the sides. Others are coloured blue, purple and red. Their colours will look different as the light changes, Christo said. Their reflection(倒影) in the lake will be like an abstract painting. Abstraction is an artistic style that does not always show something recognizable or realistic.
"Not Really Sure How I Feel About It"
Many people walking in the park were surprised to see the artwork. "It's very modern, but this place is nature and historical. I don't like it here," said Yasmin KocOzcengel, who is a tourist from Türkiye. Another person who took a look at the artwork was Anna Andronova. She called The London Mastaba very brave. If it wasn't as brave, it wouldn't be as amazing, she said. Sheila Steffenson is an American living in London. "I'm just not really sure how I feel about it," Steffenson said. "Maybe it's a message about pollution. Who knows?"
