第三节 阅读理解（共15小题, 每小题2分，满分30分）

A.

Maybe you have previously heard how bridging art and science can inspire some weird(奇异) yet interesting works of art, from clothes made of bacteria(细菌) to a woman giving birth to a shark. Yet more and more of these bizarre artworks are out there, reminding us that the boundaries between art and science only exist in our minds.

1. Paper Sculpture

To maintain their shapes, sculptures are usually carved out of hard materials such as stone, metal, or ceramic. However, Chinese artist Li Hongbo goes for the opposite by building his works out of unconventional material: paper. At first glance, Hongbo’s sculptures look like those made of ceramic or stone. However when the artist grabs one of them and pulls it apart, it twists, elongates, and retracts as if it were a giant Slinky.

Mushroom Burial Suit

You might think that our generous contributions to polluting our planet end when we die, But unfortunately, that is not the case. Our bodies are , in fact a temporary storage for a variety of environmental toxins. Most of these toxins remain in our body until we die. Traditional burial methods release these toxins back into the environment. Jae Rhim Lee is a creative bio-artist that came up with a solution to this problem.

Through her Infinity Burial Project, Lee proposed an alternative, environmentally friendly way of treating human bodies after death. The project involves developing a burial suit, which contains a mushroom that accelerates(加速) the decomposition of the human body after death.

Rain Room

Imagine if you could walk on the streets on a rainy day without getting a single drop of rain on you. That’s what it feels like when you walk into the Rain Room in The Curve Gallery at the Barbican Centre in London. Developed by Random International, the Rain Room consists of a 100-square-meter field of falling water, which visitors are invited to walk through. Once the visitors enter the field, the rain stops around them, giving them an experience of how it might feel to control the weather.

The Rain Room is a highly sophisticated integration of cameras that map the positions of the visitors on the field. This data is then fed into a grid of square panels, each of which controls several outlets that eject a total of 2,500 liters of falling water.

43. The Mushroom Burial Suit is to ________.

A. protect the dead bodies

B. feed the bodies in case they get hungry

C. help deal with the bodies after death safely

D. keep the bodies warm after death

A. We will get wet immediately we step into the Rain Room

B. The water in the Rain Room is from the sky

C. Many people are eager to eat the mushroom referred above
