是一篇说明文。纸艺术历史悠久，当今纸艺术已发展到了一个新高度。本文主要介绍了几个在纸艺术方面造诣颇深的艺术家。1．解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However，there’saspecialminoritywhotakesp

aperarttothenextlevel，magicallyturningtheplainwhiteorcoloredpaperintosomeofthemostamazingartworks.”可知，

现在有一些人能魔术般地将普通的白纸或彩纸制作成令人惊叹的艺术作品，将纸艺术发展到了一个新的水平。故答案选D。2．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“TheBritishartistSuBlackwelloftengoestosecondhandbooks

tores...Theartistfindsinspirationfromthebooktitleoraparagraphorpictureinside”可知，文章中所提到的这位英国艺术家经常从旧书中

得到灵感。故答案选B。3．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“sheisamoderndaymagicianwhoturnshumblematerialslikeconstructionpaperandglueintofantastic，complicatedsculpturesth

atpuzzletheeyes”可知，JenStark可以将纸变成形状复杂、令人惊异的艺术作品。故答案选B。4．解析：选B。词义猜测题。“humble”后面的“constructionpaperandglue”意为“美术纸和胶水”，且和下文“fantastic，complicatedsc

ulptures”形成对比可知，美术纸和胶水都是一些很简单且便宜的物品；由此可推知，“humble”的意思应为“简单的，便宜的”。故答案选B。CIrecentlyheardastoryaboutafamousresearchscientistwh
