But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when 5 (paint) like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.The Renaissance (15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less 6 religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art.

Among the painters who broke awayfrom the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.The impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of 9 (early) painters. At first many people disliked this style of painting 10 became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art (20th century to today)At they time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call “modern art”......Unit 2 PoemsThere are various reasons 1 people write poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey certain emotions. Poets use many different 2 (form)of poetry to express themselves. In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms.Some of the first poetry a young child learns 3 English is nursery rhymes. These rhymes like the one on the right (Poem A) are still a common type of children’s poetry. The language is concrete but imaginative, and the delight the small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, 4 they are easy to learn and recite. By playing the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language.Some simple poems are like Poem B and C that list things.

A lot of Tang poetry has been translated into English.With so many different forms of poetry 9 (choose) from, students may eventually want to write poems of their own. It is easier than you might think and certainly worth 10 try.Unit 3 A healthy life...Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now you’re finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me , I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is 1 (stop). You see during adolescence I also smoked became 2 addicted to cigarette.By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physically addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes. This 3 (mean) that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you become addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thing over and over again, you begin to do it 4 (automatic). Lastly, you can become mentally addicted. I believe I was happier and more relaxed after 5 (have) a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good 6 I smoked. I was addicted in all three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally manage.When I was young, I didn’t know much about the harmful 7 (effect) of smoking. I didn’t know, for example, that it could do terrible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant. I certainly didn’t know their babies may have a smaller birth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither did I know that my cigarette smoke could affect thehealth of non-smokers. However, 8 I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible. She told me that she would not go out with me unless I stopped.

In this process, some byproducts called “greenhouse”gases 4 (produce), the most important one of 5 is carbon dioxide. These gases trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth, 6 which the earth would be about thirty-three degrees Celsius 7 (cool) than it is. But the increased amount of carbon dioxide means that more heat energy tends 8 (trap) in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go up.On the other hand, scientists like George Hambley believe that any warming will be mild with few bad 9 (environment) consequences. In fact, George Hambley states that more carbon dioxide is actually a positive thing. It will make plants grow quicker; crops will produce more; it will encourage a greater range of animals---all of which will make life for human beings better. Although the climate may keep on warming for 10 (decade) or centuries, human beings still have faith in protecting the earth.Unit 5 The power of natureI have the greatest job in the world. I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world. I 1 (appoint) as a volcanologist working for theHawaiian V olcano Observatory twenty years ago. I never feel bored 2 (collect) and evaluate the information to help other scientists to study volcanoes.
