题目内容

A. There are few statues in the Middle East.

B. Art is a good means for people to know about religions.

C. Artists express their feelings and opinions in their works.

D. People know more about our culture through learning art history.

E. Art is more objective than history itself.

F. Art history provides information of different places and people.

80.

A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.

81.

In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors or of people very different from our own can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.

82.

In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.

83.

In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.

84.

By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that status are unholy.

　　Dear Laura,

　　I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today's world. Well, I'm here to give you 1 .

　　I wanted to do something very 2 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He 3 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 4 it looked almost new. I was so 5 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

　　I could 6 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to 7 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 8 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

　　I was so 9 . It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 10 lessons.“Learn to play the piano, and I'll get you one” was my husband's 11 .

　　I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 12 this expensive gift.

　　Of course, the 13 awoke, and my son was thrilled (激动的) with my reaction. Many kisses were 14 and I immediately wanted him to 15 my gift.

　　As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 16 what I was expecting. Then I 17 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

　　Of course I was the proudest mother 18 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

　　So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 19 and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!

　　I thought you'd love to 20 this story.

Yours,

Hilary

　　In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the school of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually included saying poems aloud or giving 1 .

　　Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are 2 on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it appeared with the great 3 in population and the development of modern 4 . A room full of candidates (投考者) for a state examination, 5 exactly by electric clocks and carefully 6 over by 7 , resembles (类似于) a group of workers at a car factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like 8 .

　　Two types of tests are commonly used in 9 schools. The first type is called an “objective test”. It is intended to deal with 10 , not personal 11 . On objective tests the student has just one 12 : he must 13 the correct answer and 14 its letter (or number) on his examination paper. Sometimes there is an answer sheet on which the four letters are 15 . Then the student has only to circle the one that 16 with the correct answer.

　　For 17 some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very 18 . A lucky student may 19 the correct answer without really 20 the material.

　　So most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests.
