　　The Writings on the Wall?

　　Is it art or is it just vandalism ? Well, its still a crime, but graffiti has changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory. Street art has become much more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his tag , TAKI 183, all over the New York underground in 1971, and hip - hop culture was born. Hip-hop is a mixture of art, music and dancing, poetry, language and fashion. It came from young inner-city

　　people who fell left out by their richer classmates and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could.

　　An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale, Creater Manchester, has been sosuccessful that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June. Were planning to get people together from different countries like France and Cermany for a week, says Liam, one of the organizers. The scheme started in 2000, and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes. We all share a commen interest and get on really well with each other. The first site to be chosen was a subway. Before we began, people were afraid to use the subway. We had it cleaned up and now, with all the artists hanging out down there, people are using it again. People can relate to graffiti much more now. By providing places to display their talents legally, there has been a fall in the amount of tagging on peoples private property.

　　Street artists Temper developed his drawing skills at a young age. In art classes at school he was really frustrated because the Art teacher didnt spend time with him. They thought he was already very good at art and so spend more time with other students. So, at 12 years old, Temper started painting with all these guys hed hooked up with who were about 22 years old. He looked up to them and loved what they were doing on the streets of Wolvehampicn, England. The whole hip -hop scene was built up of different things and I did a bit of everything. But it was always the graffiti I was best at. he says.

　　參考答案：

　　16.C [解析]文章的第一段提到_since a 17 - year - old called Demetrius started spraying his tag，TAKI 183，all over the New York underground_，由此可以得知他是一名青少年，但是沒(méi)有證據(jù)顯示他來(lái)自于紐約，因此，該判斷在文中沒(méi)有提到。

　　17.B [解析]第二段中間一句The scheme started in 2000，and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes.可以看出，這一計(jì)劃是針對(duì)所有年齡的人們，而不只是青少年，所以該判斷錯(cuò)誤。

　　18.C[解析]本題給出的信息文中沒(méi)有提及。作者在第二段雖然提到Before we began，people were afraid to use the subway.在有組織的涂鴉藝術(shù)家們集中在地鐵涂鴉之前，人們害怕搭乘地鐵，但是文中沒(méi)有說(shuō)到人們是否喜歡乘坐地鐵。

　　19.B[解析]文中第二段最后一句提到自從該計(jì)劃實(shí)施以來(lái)，由于給藝術(shù)家們提供了展示他們作品的場(chǎng)所，在居民的私人財(cái)產(chǎn)上涂鴉的現(xiàn)象有所下降。很顯然，不可能有新的墻壁被亂涂亂畫(huà)。

　　20.A [解析]本題給出的信息正確。從第三段第四句at 12 years old，Temper started painting with all these guys hed hooked up with who were about 22 years old.可知泰普12歲時(shí)和其他藝術(shù)家一起開(kāi)始繪畫(huà)，他們大約比他大十歲。

　　21.B [解析]文中最后一段提到作為一名涂鴉藝術(shù)家，泰普敬佩并喜歡上了英國(guó)Wolvehampicn的藝術(shù)家們。并沒(méi)有說(shuō)他現(xiàn)在是涂鴉俱樂(lè)部的負(fù)責(zé)人。

　　22.A [解析]文中最后一段提到The whole hip - hop scene was built up of different things and I did a bit of everything.他參與了有關(guān)嘻哈的各種活動(dòng)，因此，該判斷正確。

　　參考譯文

　　墻上的文字

　　它是藝術(shù)還是破壞?是的，它仍然是一種犯罪行為，然而，自人們把自己的名字噴涂在墻壁上以標(biāo)記自己的領(lǐng)地以來(lái)，涂鴉已經(jīng)發(fā)生了變化。1971年，17歲的年輕人狄米特律斯開(kāi)始在紐約地鐵噴涂他的標(biāo)簽TAKI 183，街頭藝術(shù)從此變得更加復(fù)雜，嘻哈文化由此應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。嘻哈音樂(lè)是一種音樂(lè)、舞蹈、詩(shī)歌、語(yǔ)言和時(shí)尚混合的藝術(shù)。它誕生于年輕的城市青年人中，他們感受到富裕同學(xué)的冷落，想要不顧一切地以任何可以使用的任何方式表達(dá)自己的想法。

　　大曼徹斯特地區(qū)的羅切戴爾的一項(xiàng)旨在控制涂鴉傳播的實(shí)驗(yàn)相當(dāng)成功，當(dāng)?shù)氐慕诸^藝術(shù)家制定了計(jì)劃，打算在六月份舉辦一次國(guó)際會(huì)議。我們打算讓不同的國(guó)家如的法國(guó)和德國(guó)的藝術(shù)家們?cè)诖讼嗑垡粋€(gè)星期，主辦人之一萊姆建議。這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃開(kāi)始于2000年，吸引了所有年齡和性別的人。我們有著共同的興趣，彼此相處的十分融洽。選擇涂鴉的第一個(gè)地點(diǎn)是一處地鐵。在我們開(kāi)始這一計(jì)劃之前，人們害怕使用地鐵。我們把它清理干凈，現(xiàn)在，所有的藝術(shù)家經(jīng)常聚集到那里，人們開(kāi)始搭乘地鐵，他們能夠欣賞涂鴉了。提供場(chǎng)所讓人們來(lái)展示自己的才華，在居民的私人財(cái)產(chǎn)上噴涂標(biāo)簽的現(xiàn)象有所下降。

　　街頭藝術(shù)家泰很小就開(kāi)始訓(xùn)練自己的繪畫(huà)能力。在學(xué)校的藝術(shù)課程中他非常沮喪，因?yàn)樗囆g(shù)老師沒(méi)有時(shí)間陪他訓(xùn)練，他們認(rèn)為他在藝術(shù)方面很擅長(zhǎng)了，因此花更多的時(shí)間指導(dǎo)其他同學(xué)。所以，在12歲時(shí)，泰普開(kāi)始和那些22歲左右的家伙們開(kāi)始一起繪畫(huà)。他敬佩并喜歡上了他們?cè)谟?guó)的Wolvehampion大街上所作的一切。他說(shuō)：整個(gè)嘻哈的背景由不同的東西組成。我在每件事上都做了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)嘗試，但是，我還是最擅長(zhǎng)于涂鴉。
