语篇解读
译文
Edward Ssajjabbi在他的一幅画中，讲述了一个关于北京冬奥会的故事。画中，全世界都在与新冠肺炎作斗争。这幅艺术作品还展现了三个人将病毒推入火中的画面，而旁边一位科学家在进行研究。除此之外，画上还有一盏灯，代表着生命之光。
1.B细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“The art piece also shows three people pushing the virus into fire as a scientist does research. It also shows a lamp...”可知，这幅画中有病毒、一位科学家和一盏灯，故B项正确。2.D 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，Ssajjabbi一开始就很仰慕这位画家,在画家离开后，Ssajjabbi开始模仿他。结合本段最后一句“This is how I found myself getting intoart.”可知，Ssajjabbi因此对美术产生了兴趣。故 Ssajjabbi 提到这位画家是为了解释他是如何对美术产生兴趣的。3.A细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“His first visit to China was in 2019 when he was invited to attend the eighth Beijing International Art Biennale.”可知，2019年，Ssaiiabbi来中国是为了参加第八届北京国际美术双年展，故选A项。4.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句中的“Ssajjabbi shared his China experience with his students at Kabale University”可知，Ssajjabbi在卡巴莱大学与他的学生分享了他在中国的经历。由此可知，他是一位大学老师。5.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 Ssajiabbi说的话可知，美术能使一个人热爱并激励他人热爱自己国家的文化，中国人将自己的文化保存了下来，并且正在通过美术与世界各地的人分享。结合其中的“We need to learn from them”可推知，Ssajjabbi鼓励自己的学生向中国人学习。长难句分析原句：（文章最后一段）Ssajjabbi says that he hopes to use his knowledge to guide students at higher levels of education,especially in research,and to also improve his painting.译文：Ssajjabbi说,他希望用自己的知识来指导学生接受更高层次的教育，特别是在研究方面，并提高自己的绘画水平。分析：这是一个复合句。其中that he hopes...improve his painting为that引导的宾语从句，作says的宾语。该宾语从句中，包含两个并列的不定语短语，作hopes的宾语。
