In the preceding century, art had lost many of its traditional functions. It had ceased to be an important method for recording the way things look because that job had been taken over by the camera. Artists now sought to isolate the special province of art, to define its own particular essence. Painters and sculptors joined other intellectuals in questioning classical standards based on rationalized patterns and generalized ideals. The world view of the 1890s had been so altered by the tumultuous changes of the nineteenth century that the cool, orderly classical figure style and static Renaissance compositions no longer seemed appropriate forms of expression.(2) In 1886 the painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) came from Holland to France, where he produced a revolution in the use of colon He used purer, brighter colors than artists had used before, he also recognized that color, like other formal qualities, could act as a language in and of itself. He believed that the local or "real" color of an object does not necessarily express the artist's experience. Artists, according to van Gogh, should seek to paint things not as they are, but as the artists feel them. In Public Garden at Arles, the colors of the pathway, the trees, and the sky are all far more intense and pure than the garden's real colors. Thus, van Gogh captures the whole experience of walking alone in the stillness of a hot afternoon.(3) Practically unknown in his lifetime, van Gogh's art became extremely influential soon after his death in 1890. One of the first artists to be affected by his style was a Norwegian artist named Edward Munch (1863-1944), who discovered van Gogh's use of color in Paris. In The Dance of Life, Munch used strong, simple line and intense color to explore the unexpressed sexual stresses and conflicts that Sigmund Freud's studies were bringing to light. In Germany the tendency to use color for its power to express psychological forces continued in the work of artists known as the German Expressionists.(4) Alongside the revolution in color, another revolution was occurring in the use of space. Ever since the Renaissance, European artists had treated the outside edges of paintings as window frames. The four sides of a frame bounded an imaginary cube of space a three dimensional world in which figures and background were presented. From about 1880 on, Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) explored a new way of expressing the experience ofseeing. He sought to create painting with perfectly designed compositions, true both to the subject matter and tohis own perceptions. He also wanted to include and build upon tradition.(5) Between 1909 and 1914, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) worked together to develop a new style that is called cubism. Like Cezanne, they explored the interplay between the fiat world of the art of painting and the three-dimensional world of visual perception. The two worlds influence each other, so thatin art as in life, one confuses symbols or painted representations with the objects in the real world for which they stand. This observation about experience is explicit in a cubist work like The Violin. Illustrations of fruit cut from an actual book are pasted in the comer. These sheets are real objects introduced into a drawing, or symbol. But the illustrations are also printed reproductions of drawings that were based on real fruit.(6) In a typical Renaissance or baroque painting, objects are set inside an imaginary block of space, and they are represented from a single stationary point of view. A cubist work is constructed on a different system, so that it re-creates the experience of seeing in a space of time. One can only know the nature of a volume by seeing it from many angles. Therefore, cubist art presents objects from multiple viewpoints. Furthermore, vision is conditionedby context, memories, and events in time. In The Violin, some of the words cut from real newspapers refer ironically to an artist's life. The numerous fragmentary images of cubist art make one aware of the complex experience of seeing.(7) The colors used in early cubist art are deliberately banal, and the subjects represented are ordinary objects from everyday life. Picasso and Braque wanted to eliminate eye-catching color and intriguing subject matter so that their audiences would focus on the process of seeing itself.(8) Throughout the period from 1890 to 1914, avant-garde artists were de-emphasizing subject matter and stressing the expressive power of such formal qualities as line, color, and space. It is not surprising that some artists finally began to create work that did not refer to anything seen in the real world. Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), a Dutch artist, came to Paris shortly before World War I. There he saw the cubist art of Picasso and Braque. The cubists had compressed the imaginary depth in their paintings so that all the objects seemed to be contained within a space only a few inches deep. They had also reduced subject matter to insignificance. It seemed to Mondrian that the next step was to eliminate illusionistic space and subject matter entirely. His painting Composition 7, for example, seems entirely flat.(9) Mondrian, like several other early masters of modem art, was a philosophical idealist. He held that the objects of perception are actually manifestations of another independent and changeless realm of essences. Art, he believed, should take its audience beyond the world of appearances into the other, more "real" reality. Logically, he eliminated from his paintings any references to the visible world.(10) The revolution in art that took place near the mm of the twentieth century is reverberating still. After nearly a hundred years, these masters of modem art continue to inspire their audiences with their passion and vision.II.

He began to _______ as the intense cold pervaded the room.A. shakeB. quakeC. jerkD. shiverRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items III, IV, V.(1) “During the whole of a dull, dark and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through asingularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.” Thus Edgar Allan P oe opened his story of “The Fall of the House of Usher” in 1839. In this beautifully crafted sentence he captured so much that is essential to the horror story—darkness, ominous solitude, foreboding calm, apprehension and uncertainty, and a deep feeling of melancholy that could soon turn to fear.(2) Many kinds of fiction are self-explanatory: mysteries, westerns, love stories, spy thrillers, and science fiction define themselves by the terms used to name them. The horror story is less easily defined, perhaps because other types of fiction so often use the trappings of terror to enhance their plots. Charles Dickens used the vehicle of an old-fashioned ghost Story to tell “A Christmas Carol”, but that book is not a horror story. Nor does a Grimm brothers fair y tale such as “Hänsel and Gretel,” with its child-devouring witch, belong to the genre.(3) The nature of the horror story is best indicated by the title of the 1990s television series Tales from the Dark Side. Human beings have always acknowledged that there is evil in the world and a dark side to human nature that cannot be explained except perhaps in religious terms. This evil may be imagined as having an almost unlimited power to inspire anxiety, fear, dread, and terror in addition to doing actual physical and mental harm.(4) In the tale of horror quite ordinary people are confronted by something unknown and fearful, which can be neither understood nor explained in reasonable terms. It is the emphasis on the unreasonable that lies at the heart of horror stories.(5) This kind of literature arose in the 18th century at the start of a movement called Romanticism. The movement was a reaction against a rational, ordered world in which humanity was basically good and everything could be explained scientifically. The literary type that inspired the horror story is Gothic fiction, tales of evil, often set in sinister medieval surroundings. This original kind of horror fiction has persisted to the present. An early 20th-century master of the type was H.P. Lovecraft, most of whose stories appeared in the magazine Weird Tales. A more recent writer was Stephen King, author of Carrie(1974), The Shining(1977), Pet Sematary (1984), Misery (1987), and Rose Madder (1995).(6) Much horror literature is grounded in superstition, fear of demons, and the dread of death. No single tale brings all of these elements together so well as the vampire legend, an ancient folk superstition. The vampire is described as undead, an entombed individual who rises each night to feed on the blood of the living. In literature its best representation is Dracula(1897) by Bram Stoker. The legend was retold in Interview with the V ampire (1976) by Anne Rice. The Dracula story was eagerly taken up by Hollywood in the 1931 film that starred Bela Lugosi, and numerous movies on the theme have been made since.(7) Similar to the vampire legend is the story of the wolfman, the human being under a curse who turns into a half man, half wolf presumably when the moon is full. This creature prowls around, devouring animals, people, or corpses, but he returns to human form by day. As with Dracula, the wolfman became a popular subject for movies, beginning with The Werewolf of London (1935) and the wolfman films of the 1940s. According to one superstition the werewolf, after being killed, turns into a vampire.(8) The belief that the dead can return to haunt and harm the living has long been an element of fiction. Ghost stories are at least as old as the Bible: in the Old Testament, King Saul calls up the ghost of Samuel to foretell the outcome of a battle. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the ghost of the slain king provides the information from which Hamlet plots revenge for his father’s murder. Oneof the masters of the modern ghost story was Ambrose Bierce, some of whose stories were collected in Ghost and Horror Stories of Ambrose Bierce (1964). A variation on the ghost theme is the haunted house, about which hundreds of stories have been written.(9) Between the vampires and the ghosts are creatures called the living dead and zombies who return from the grave to devour the living. Hollywood celebrated this story in Night of the Living Dead (1968) and other films. In literature one of the best examples is the intriguing book The Beast with Five Fingers (1928; film version 1946) by W.F. Harvey. It is the story of a severed hand that goes on living after its owner dies. The movie Friday the 13th (1980) and its sequels also used the revived corpse as villain. In the 1986 film Trick or Treat, a dead rock music star is called back to life.III.In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions, followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Some fresh fruits are highly ______ and should be kept in cool places.A. perishableB. eligibleC. permissibleD. affordableRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items II, IV, V.(1) A rift is growing between government and higher education, with debates over funding, missions and accountability.(2) In that context, it is all the more worth watching Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, who assumes the presidency of Purdue University on January 14. Other governors have become college presidents. Some, like Tom K ean, have been very successful. However, Daniels—who brings to the job an unusual blend of leadership experiences in government at the state and national level, public policy,business, and now academe—is coming to office at a time of unusual tension.(3) Governors increasingly characterize the rising costs of higher education and its limitedaccess as unsustainable. Many find it imperative that universities increase their productivity, affordability, access, graduation rates, and accountability. In contrast, university presidents say that quality, not cost, is the real issue in an era in which excellence in higher educationis more urgent than ever before in history. The question, academic leaders say, should not bethe price of college, but who pays, criticizing government for disinvesting in higher education. Bottom line: Between the governors and the presidents, there is increasingly little if any common ground other than recognizing the importance of higher education. They have entirely differentviews of the problem, no agreement on responsibility, and nothing in the way of a shared solution. (4) In his first public action as president of Purdue, Daniels has bridged the chasm with a salary package that incorporates the goals of both the governors and the presidents. He did this intwo ways. The first was conciliatory, eliminating the red flag that sets off both governmentand the academy: He rejected presidential salary inflation. His salary package is smaller than his predecessor’s, placing him tenth among the 12 Big Ten university presidents in terms of salary. There is no deferred compensation.(5) Second, and more importantly in terms of national models, is that Governor Daniels askedfor a salary based upon achieving his goals for the university. The package is divided into twobuckets—base salary and bonus. The bonus is tied to graduation rates, affordability, studentachievement, philanthropic support, faculty excellence, and strategic program initiatives. Inestablishing this bonus system, Daniels married traditional notions of academic quality—as measured by excellence in faculty, programs and resources—with an equal emphasis on effective outcomes and price controls: graduation rates, affordability, and student achievement.(6) In so doing, Daniels has demonstrated his belief that there is common ground to be foundbetween the university and government. The choice is not quality or effectiveness, not excellenceor affordability; the future of higher education is not a zero-sum game in which one side winsand the other loses. Rather, he believes it is possible to balance the seemingly conflictinggoals of government and higher education.(7) Daniels is not the first president to have his salary tied to achieving institutional goals, but he is probably the most visible. Moreover, although Daniels is renouncing involvement inpartisan politics as he enters the Purdue presidency, he is a former Republican governor andparty leader known as a frugal fiscal conservative. Historically, the divisions have been greater between Republicans and the academy than has been the case with Democrats. In a very real sense, what Daniels has chosen to do is somewhat akin to Nixon going to China. He has undertaken anexperiment to be closely watched. If successful, he will have established a potential model forthe country.(8) Typically, presidents reserve such powerful statements for their inaugural addresses. Though such addresses are sincere in intent—I can vouch for that, as someone who has given two andlistened to many more—they are generally aspirational; they articulate hopes and dreams forwhat an institution can become. Daniels has already done something very different. He is putting himself on the line in a very public fashion. Year after year his salary will be determined byhis success. And perhaps even more importantly, his success or failure will be public when hisboard announces the size and rationale for his bonus.(9) It’s a bold step—and Governor Daniels should be applauded for taking it.II.

He looked like the sort of young man who might kill a president.(2)He was glaring because we had passed him and for that offensive action he pursued us to the next stoplight so as to express his indignation and affirm his masculinity.I was with two women and was afraid for all three of us.It was nearly midnight and we were in a small,sleeping town with no other cars on the road.(3)When the light turned green I raced ahead.He didn’t merely follow,he chased and with his headlights turned off.No matter what sudden turn I took,he followed.My passengers were silent.I knew they were alarmed,and I prayed that I wouldn’t be called upon to protect them.In that cheerful frame of mind,I turned off my own lights so I couldn’t be followed.It was madness.I was responding to a crazy as a crazy.(4)“I’ll just drive to the police station,”I finally said,and as if those were the magic words,he disappeared.(5)It seems to me that there has recently been an epidemic of auto macho—a competition perceived and expressed in driving.People fight it out over parking spaces.A toll booth becomes a signal for elbowing fenders.And beetle-eyed drivers hunch over their steering wheels,squeezing the rims,glowering,preparing the excuse of not having seen you as they muscle you off the road.Approaching a highway on an entrance ramp recently,I was strong-armed by a trailer truck so immense that its driver all but blew me away by blasting his horn.The behemoth was just inches from my hopelessly mismatched vehicle when I fled for the safety of the shoulder.(6)The odd thing is that long before I was even able to drive,it seemed to me that people were at their finest and most civilized when in their cars.They seemed so orderly and considerate,so reasonable,staying in the right-hand lane unless passing,signaling all intentions.In those days you really eased into highway traffic,and the long,neat rows of cars seemed mobile testimony to the sanity of most people.Perhaps memory fails,perhaps there were always testy drivers,perhaps—but everyone didn’t give you the finger.(7)A most amazing example of driver rage occurred recently in Manhattan.We were four cars abreast,stopped at a traffic light.And there was no moving even when the light had changed.A bus had stopped in the cross traffic,blocking our paths: it was normal-for-New-York-City gridlock.Perhaps impatient,perhaps late for important appointments,three of us nonetheless accepted what,after all,we could not alter.One,however,would not.He would not be helpless.He would go where he was going even if he couldn’t get there.He got out of his car and strode toward the bus,rapping smartly on its doors.When they opened,he exchanged words with the driver.The doors folded shut.He then stepped in front of the bus, took hold of one of its large windshield wipers and broke it.(8)The bus doors reopened and the driver appeared,apparently giving the fellow a good piece of his mind.If so,the lecture was wasted,for the man started his car and drove directly into the bus.He rammed it.Even though the point at which he struck the bus,the folding doors,was its most vulnerable point,ramming the side of a bus with your car has to rank very high on a futility index.My first thought was that it had to be a rental car.(9)To tell the truth,I could not believe my eyes.The bus driver opened his doors as much as they could be opened and he stepped directly onto the hood of the attacking car,jumping up and down with both his feet.He then retreated into the bus, closing the doors behind him.Obviously a man of action,the car driver backed up and rammed the bus again.(10)It is tempting to blame such aggressive,uncivil and even neurotic behavior,but in our cars we all become a little crazy.How many of us speed up when a driver signals his intention of pulling in front of us?Are we resentful and anxious to pass him?How many of us try to squeeze in,or race along the shoulder at a lane merger?(11)What is it within us that gives birth to such antisocial behavior and why,all of a sudden,have so many drivers gone around the bend?My friend,a Manhattan psychiatrist,calls it“a Rambo pattern.People are running around thinking the American way is to take the law into your own hands when anyone does anything wrong.And what constitutes‘wrong’? Anything that cramps your style.”(12)It seems to me that it is a new America we see on the road now.It has the mentality of a hoodlum and the backboneof a coward.The car is its weapon and hiding place,and it is still a symbol even in this.Road Rambos no longer represent a self-reliant,civil people tooling around in family cruisers.In fact,there aren’t families in these machines that charge headlong with their brights on in broad daylight,demanding we get out of their way.Bullies are loners,and they have perverted our liberty of the open road into drivers’license.They represent an America that derides the values of decency and good manners,then roam the highways riding shotgun and shrieking freedom.By allowing this to happen,the rest of us approve.Ⅱ.In this section,there are ten incomplete statements or questions,followed by four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.(20points,2points for each)16.The first four paragraphs serve as______.A.an introduction of the essayB.a summary of what will happenC.a comment on today’s drivers’behaviorD.the author’s personal feelings a out driving17.The word“behemoth”in Paragraph5means something______.A.very large B.extremely expensiveC.quite advanced D.unusually attractive18.The phrase“give you the finger”in Paragraph6means______.A.let you see the finger B.intend to shake hands with youC.show their admiration for you D.express anger to you in a rude way19.The car driver broke one of the windshield wipers______.A.to test its qualityB.to show his rageC.to demonstrate his powerD.to demand the bus driver to reverse20.According to Paragraph8,the car driver rammed the bus in vain because______.A.the car was rentedB.the car was not as strong as the busC.the bus driver refused to make way for himD.the folding doors of the bus were the strongest part21.The author felt that the bus driver’s behavior in Paragraph9was______.A.disgusting B.confusingC.acceptable D.incredible22.The questions in Paragraph10intend to show that______.A.no one is excused for dangerous drivingB.every driver is required to obey traffic rulesC.drivers’bad behavior is a common phenomenonD.aggressive behavior on the road should be blamed23.What is the author’s attitude towards the“Rambo pattern”in Paragraph11?A.Skeptical.B.Critical.C.Supportive.D.Indifferent.24.The word“cramps”in Paragraph11means______.A.limits B.createsC.displays D.renovates25.The purpose of the author in writing this essay is______.A.to arouse people’s awareness of safe drivingB.to make people believe that driving is dangerousC.to criticize the drivers’violent behavior on the roadD.to inform readers about some unusual traffic accidents非选择题部分注意事项:用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上,不能答在试题卷上。
