问题 The Writing's on the Wall
Is it art or is it just vandalism (破坏公物行为) ? Well, it's still a crime, but graffiti (涂鸦)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, Manchester, has been so successful that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June. "We're planning to get people together from different countries like France and Germany for a week," says Liam, one of the organizers. The scheme started in 2,000, and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes. "We all share a common 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 people's 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 didn't 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 he'd 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.

Since the scheme started, new wall in the town were sprayed with graffiti.（）
选项 A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
答案B
解析题干： 自从这个计划实施以来，市里的新墙壁都被涂鸦了。利用题干关键词scheme 可以定位到文中第二段，同时第二段最后一句提到“By providing places to display their talents legally,there has been a fall in the amount of‘tagging’on people’S private property”，意为“由于给艺术家们提供了展示他们作品的场所，在居民的私人财产上涂鸦的现象有所下降“。很显然，不可能有新的墙壁被乱涂乱画，所以选择答案B。
