6.The values of artistic works,according to cultural relativism,are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions.Such a view,however,fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.
History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world.It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls,as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries.Unique works of this kind are different from today's popular art,even if they began as works of popular art.They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.
In a 1757 essay,the philosopher David Hume argued that because"the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,"the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent.He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years.Works of this type,he believed,spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art.For example,evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction.The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before.Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
33.In Paragraph 2,the artists are mentioned in order to show thatB.
A.history gives art works special appeal to set them apart
B.great works of art can go beyond national boundaries
C.popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts
D.great artists are skilled a t combining various cultures
34.According to Hume,some works of art can exist for centuries becauseC.
A.they are results of scientific study  
B.they establish some general principles of art
C.they appeal to unchanging features of human nature
D.they are created by the world's greatest artists
35.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?D
A.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?
B.Are Popular Arts Permanent?
C.Is Human Nature Uniform?
D.Are Artistic Values Universal?

解答 33.B.细节理解题.根据第二段中的最后一句They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future,可知这段话的写作目的就是为了说明艺术鉴赏是没有时空的限制的,故选B.
34.C.细节理解题.根据第三段中的Works of this type,he believed,spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries,这类作品,他认为,是对人性的深刻和不变的特征说话,可以继续存在几个世纪,因此他们呼吁人类的天性不变,故选C.
35.D.推理判断题.纵观全文,文章主要讲述了艺术鉴赏是不分时间和文化国界的.因此艺术价值观是普遍的吗是最合适的标题,故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

11.Running for a Dream
I will never forget that November day.It was hotter than normal.This was the (36)D my father and I had waited so long for,because we had been working towards this race for three years.Dozens of familiar faces from church and school flashed across my view.They had come (37)A me.I saw worry and (38)C on my father's face.Then the race began!
For the first two and a half miles.I felt(39)B.I had never before been so ready for something.The weeks leading up to the race were filled with controlled(40)D and a strict diet.My friends hadn't seen me in weeks,but they understood the (41)A required to make my dream a reality.As in all of my races,I didn't (42)C out in the front,I loved the pleasure of passing people as my strength overtook their premature speed.

I watched as runners rushed by me.(46)D I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed.I had to finish the race.However,my legs hurt badly.With all of the (47)C left in me,I got on my hands and knees and crawled (爬),inch by inch,across the finish line.Voices,both (48)B and familiar,cheered me on.They gave me the courage to keep (49)A until the very end.
The doctors were there in seconds,but my eyes searched the crowd for him.There was only one person I wanted to (50)B to.I whispered,"I'm so sorry,Dad,I'm so sorry I (51)C you."He looked at me,saying,"You could never disappoint me.Sometimes these things just (52)D.All that matters is that you did your best."
"But we worked so (53)B.What about our dream?"He reached over for my hand and said,"Don't you know that you are my dream and it has come true?"
It wasn't long before my running shoes were back on,marking a(54)A path for my journey,I learned that all of the miles,the tears,the sweat,and the pain my dad and I experienced together were not for a(55)D.What I realized,though,was that to him,I was the greatest prize he had ever won.
