休闲艺术

Office workers who would normally step into a pub or gym to cope

with the stress of a working day are being invited instead to sit in front of

a painting.

Manchester Art Gallery has recruited two of the countrys leading

experts in stress management to choose pictures that are guaranteed to

leave even the most frantic feeling at ease wich the world.They have

created the tranquility tour which allows city-centre workers to spend

their lunch hour taking a soothing tourof what are described as some of

the most relaxing and inspiring paintings ever committed to canvas”. The

free tour takes the visitor through several centuries of painting, from the

Victorian aesthetic movement.through the PreRaphaelite school, to

modern abstract an.

Kim Gowland, a gallery executive. said: Looking at art is a

stress-relieving activity. What we are tryingto do is encourage people

who work in the city to spend half an hour of their lunchbreak in the

gallery. to chill out rather than rush around the shops. 2 The five works chosen by Andrew Loukes. the gallerys manager, are:

John Roddam Spencer Stanhopes The Waters of Lethe (1880), Turners

Thomsons Aeolian Harp (1809), Sir John Everett Millaiss Autumn Leaves

(1856), James Durdens Summer in Cumberland (1925) and Bridget Rileys

Zephyr (1976).

Mr. Loukes said: We chose five pictures that suggest restfulness. We

also wamed to display the breadth of the collection. We arc particularly

strong in early-19th and early-20th-century British art.

Their therapeutic powers have been endorsed by Olga Gregson and

Terry Looker from the Department of Biological Sciences at Manchester

Metropolitan University. Dr. Gregson said that research shows that stress

levels have reduced and moods changed for the better” when subjects

looked at paintings.

Although art appreciation is very much a matter of personal choice,

it is true that some works of art appeal to almost everyone, and that

some paintings have qualities that can induce relaxation in most

people.Dr. Gregson said. Great painters such as Leonardo da Vinci were

masters of techniques that could evoke particular responses in the

viewer.

Dr. Gregson said the gallery represented an oasis of calm. You have

got this wonderful opportunity to evoke a different kind of

psychophysiological response. 3 1. What is done by the Manchester Art Gallery is intended

to____________.

A) find out the relation between paintings and stress-easing

B) promote its magnificent collection of British art

C) reduce working peoples stress levels by art appreciation

A) 找到画作和舒缓压力之间的关系

B) 推广其重要的英国艺术藏品

C) 通过艺术观赏来帮人们减压

D)为顾客供应另一种消遣的选择

[C]原文第2段说明曼彻斯特美术馆雇用两位压力管理专家并且展览画作都是为了使人缓解压力，因此选项C为美术馆的目的。曼彻斯特美术馆不是一个讨论机构，因此选项A不是他们的目的。从美术馆雇用压力管理专家这一点可以知道，美术馆并非为了展出馆藏作品，因此选项B不正确,从原文可知美术馆方并不单纯把观赏画作当作一种业余消遣，因此选项D也不正确。

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy,

the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates

to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we’re partly

there. The percentage of people who earn their living by making

things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the

majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or

more in many of these countries) are in the service industry,

and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force

than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people

are self-employed. But the breadth of the economic

transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it

also is giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the

LONDON — Britain awoke on Easter Monday to a period of mourning for the Queen

Mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change.

The 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last Saturday with Queen Elizabeth, her elder

and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. For a woman who was one of the best-known figures

in Britain for more than 80 years — from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and

cigarette cards to the age of the Internet, the Queen Mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的)

and elusive(躲避的) figure.

She achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later,

intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. Her private thoughts were never

paraded(炫耀) in public. What the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

Caught in a squeeze between the health needs of aging

populations on one hand and the financial crisis on the other,

governments everywhere are looking for ways to slow the growth

in health-care spending. Increasingly, they are looking to the

generic-drugs (普通药物) industry as a savior. In November

Japan's finance ministry issued a report complaining that the

country's use of generics was less than a third of that in

America or Britain. In the same month Canada's competition

watchdog criticized the country's pharmacies for failing to

pass on the savings made possible by the use of generic drugs.

That greed, it reckoned, costs taxpayers nearly C$1 billion a

year.

Then on November 28th the European Commission issued the
