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.1.According to the passage,what do we know about cultural relativism?A.It introduces different cultural values.B.It explains the history of artistic works.C.It relates artistic values to local conditions.D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.2.In Paragraph 2,the artists are mentioned in order to show that .A.great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB.history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC.popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD.great artists are skilled at combining various cultures3.According to Hume,some works of art can exist for centuries because .A.they are results of scientific studyB.they establish some general principles of artC.they are created by the world’s greatest artistsD.they appeal to unchanging features of human nature4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Are Artistic Values Universal?B.Are Popular Arts Permanent?C.Is Human Nature Uniform?D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?BLooking for a new way to raise money for charity (慈善)?Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas?Don’t give up.There are several ways to support your favorite charity.How about organizing a car wash?Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed.So why don’t you and your classmates do the job?The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed will go towards your charity.When we did it,we had an amazing time!At first,some of us were worried about getting wet or dirty and it’s true.But we also had fun,and at the end of the day it was really worth it!On the other hand,if you don’t

Wash a CarB.How to Organize a Street ConcertC.Ways to Raise Money for CharityD.Ways to Make Money After School8.The writer of the passage is most probably a .A.studentB.parentC.driverD.singerCWant to live longer?Win an Oscar.A new study says that actors who received the award earn more than larger paychecks.So when 94-year-old Katharine Hepburn once remarked that she was respected internationally “like an old building”,she had no idea that her four Oscars directly influenced her longevity(长寿).The study says winning actors will live 3.9 years longer than their losing counterparts (对手).Actors who have won more than once,like Hepburn,live up to six years longer than those who were nominated (提名) but never won.“We found that they died from the same things we all die from—cancer,heart disease,but they fought them a bit longer and diseases came a bit later,” says Dr.Donald Redelmeier,theleading author of the study.Redelmeier says the sense of success and satisfaction makes one’s soul become more full of life.“We are not saying that you will live longer if you win an Oscar,” explains Redelmeier,“or that people should go out and take acting courses.Our main conclusion is simply that social factors are important.” The study’s implied conclusion,he says,is that doctors should ask about their patients’ personal feelings because mental well-being is related to physical health.Redelmeier says he got the idea for the study when he watched a glowing Gwyneth Paltrow win an Oscar in 1999 for her role in Shakespeare in Love.Redelmeier says,“She looked more full of life than anyone I had seen.”“We found,too,those that had multi-nominations and no win had the same life expectancy as those with just a single nomination and no win,” Redelmeier adds.9.The longevity of Oscar winners mainly has something to do with.A.the big money that was awardedB.mental factorsC.rich and colorful livesD.respect from others and better treatment10.Tom had five Oscar nominations but win no Oscar and Peter had only one nomination and won no Oscar either.We can tell.A.Tom probably will have a longer life than PeterB.Peter probably will have a longer life than TomC.both Tom and Peter probably will have the same life expectancyD.both Tom and Peter probably will have a long life11.According to the passage,we know .A.when Katharine Hepburn was 94,she knew her long life had something to do with her 4 Oscar prizesB.in general the number of Oscar prizes has nothing to do with a person’s life expectancyC.that Gwyneth Paltrow’s full of life made Redelmeier decide to do the studyD.if you want to live a happy and long life,you should take acting courses and win Oscars12.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Most Oscar Winners Live Longer LivesB.How to Get a Long LifeC.A New Study about Long LivesD.An Amazing FindingDGrant Wood’s American Gothic caused a stir(轰动)in 1930 when it was exhibited for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago and awarded a prize of 300 dollars.Newspapers across the country carried the story,and the painting of a farmer and a younger woman posed before a white house brought the artist instant fame.In 1930,Grant Wood,an American painter with European training,noticed a small white house built in the small southern Iowa town of Eldon.Wood was so fascinated by it that he decided to paint the house along with the kind of people he thought should live in that house.In the painting,the farmer is modeled on his dentist.Dr.Byron McKeeby.His younger sister Nan served as a model for the woman (imagined to be the farmer’s wife or daughter).Wood wanted to give a description of the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork(干草叉) symbolizing hard labor.Each element was painted separately;the models sat separately and never stood in front of the house.The Gothic style of the house inspired the painting’s title.American Gothic remains one of the most famous paintings in the history of Americanart.The painting has become part of American popular culture.Some believe that Wood used it to satirize(讽刺) the narrow-mindedness that has been said to characterize Midwestern culture.The painting may also be read as a praise of the moral virtue or rural America or even as a mixture of praise and satire.American Gothic is one of the few images to reach the status of cultural symbol,along with Leonardo da Vinci’s the Mona Lisa.13.What can we learn about American Gothic?A.It won a prize of ￡300.B.The two characters in it posed before the White House.C.It was the first painting by Grant Wood.D.It was on show at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1930.14.From the passage we can infer Iowa is in .A.the southern town of EldonB.the Midwest of the United StatesC.a European countryD.the city of Chicago15.Grant Wood chose the two models .A.to describe traditional roles of men and womenB.to praise the moral virtue of rural AmericaC.to make his dentist and his sister famousD.to carry the story across the country16.The title of the painting is based on .A.the name of a small townB.the man and the womanC.the Gothic style of the houseD.the pitchfork symbolizing hard labor四.词汇运用：1.
