原文A British woman who won a $1 million prize after she was named the World's Best Teacher will use the cash to bring inspirational figures into UK schools. Andria Zafirakou,a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution （变革）. “We are going to make a change，” she said."I’ve started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools." The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort — whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star — into schools to work with and inspire children. Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I've seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by — their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists . more than ever in our schools." Artist Michael Craig-Martin said: “Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary, he added. Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young. What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative spirit, our visionary sense of freshness, that has been our strength for centuries." 28.What will Zafirakou do with her prize money? A. Make a movie. B.Build new schools. C.Run a project. D. Help local musicians. 29.What does Craig-Martin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools? A. It is particularly difficult. B. It increases artists’ income. C. It opens children's mind. D.It deserves greater attention. 30.What should be stressed in school education according to Schama? A. Moral principles. B. Interpersonal skills. C. Creative abilities. D. Positive worldviews. 31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Bring Artists to Schools B. When Historians Meet Artists C. Arts Education in Britain D. The World's Best Arts Teacher 译文一位英国女性在被评为世界最佳教师后获得了100万美元的奖金，她将用这笔钱为英国学校带来鼓舞人心的人物。 伦敦北部中学教师Andria Zafirakou说，她想带来一场课堂革命。“我们将做出改变，”她说。“我已经启动了一个项目来促进我们学校的艺术教学。” 该项目的结果是，许多学校很难让任何类型的艺术家——无论是当地崭露头角的音乐家还是主要的电影明星——进入学校与孩子们合作并激励他们。 Zafirakou在Alperton社区学校开始了这个项目，这是她过去12年的工作地点。她说：“我看到过那些神奇的时刻，当孩子们与他们受到启发的人交谈时——他们的眼睛闪闪发光，脸上闪闪发光。”。“我们比以往任何时候都更需要艺术家。” 艺术家迈克尔·克雷格·马丁（Michael Craig Martin）表示：“在艺术在学校被降级的时候，安德里亚将各个领域的艺术家与儿童直接接触的出色项目尤其受欢迎。”他补充道，认为艺术是不必要的是错误的。 历史学家西蒙·沙马爵士也是该项目的支持者。他说，学校的艺术教育不仅仅是一种附加内容。“这是绝对必要的。未来取决于创造力，创造力取决于年轻人。当人工智能接管时，我们剩下的将是我们的创造力，而我们的创造力精神，我们富有远见的新鲜感，是我们几个世纪以来的力量。” 28.扎菲拉库将如何处理她的奖金？ A.拍一部电影。B.新建学校。C.运行项目。D.帮助当地的音乐家。 29.克雷格·马丁对英国学校的艺术教学有何看法？ A.这特别困难。B.它增加了艺术家的收入。 C.它打开了孩子们的思维。D.它值得更多的关注。 30.Schama认为，学校教育应该强调什么？ A.道德原则。B.人际交往能力。C.创造性能力。D.积极的世界观。 31.以下哪一个标题适合正文？ A.把艺术家带到学校B.当历史学家遇见艺术家 C.英国的艺术教育D.世界最佳艺术教师
