(2014·山东烟台模拟)
If you’re in Florence，Italy，and see a man on a ladder wiping the dust off statues and buildings，don’t worry.It’s just Alessandro Ricci gathering material for his famous smog paintings.
Ricci is not a common artist，because he used smog as the main medium of his artworks.Unlike other painters seeking fast recognition of their talent，he doesn’t really care about “being this big artist”．Instead he is more concerned about bringing attention to how much smog there really is in his home town and how it’s destroying both its monuments and people.
Although he did take a couple of art classes a few years back，he is mainly selftaught，doesn’t work in a studio，donates most of his work，and refuses to play by the rules of the Florentine Art Gallery，which he considers corrupt.Alessandro Ricci believes selling his smog paintings will not only compromise his principles，but also contradict the very thing he’s trying to do—raise awareness about smog pollution in this city.
Alessandro lives with his parents nearby Florence，but almost every day he visits the streets of the city，and collects smog for his paintings.He gets it from several meters above ground，from clean surfaces like marble，plastic and stone，using damp pieces of cotton.Then he applies the smog directly onto a cloth and creates street scenes and reproductions of the very buildings from which he got the dangerous material.Finally，he seals his paintings with a natural resin (树脂)．
His actions helped win a small victory for the people of Florence，as in October 25,2012 the Duomo area of the city was made pedestrianonly.But there is still a long way to go，the artist believes，and only cleaning the thick layer of smog that has accumulated throughout Florence would take several years.Still，he continues to paint his unique smog artworks and let the people know how polluted the environment they live in really is.
1．What does the text mainly tell us?
A．Florentine artist fights pollution by painting with smog.
B．Ricci invents a unique way to paint buildings in Florence.
C．People in Florence gather smog to create street scenes.
D．Florence takes measures to improve the polluted city.
2．In what way is Ricci quite different from other artists?
A．He lacks talent in art work.
B．He cares little about fame.
C．He hates all the art Galleries.
D．He likes to do things at will.
3．Ricci paints his unique smog artworks aiming to________.
A．fight government corruption
B．advertise the monuments
C．create more street scenes
D．raise awareness about pollution
4．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The place where Ricci lives.
B．The problem that Florence faces.
C．The way Riccis paints with smog.
D．The materials for his painting.
5．We can learn from the last paragraph that________.
A．Duomo area of Florence has become more crowded with traffic
B．Ricci’s action has brought no change to the people of Florence
C．Ricci will continue to raise Florentine people’s awareness about pollution
