It brought the Great Depression to an end and marked the beginning of significant social and political changes for women and racial minorities. Chinese American women played an important role in these long-term changes. Encouraged by motives ranging from Chinese nationalism to American patriotism, Chinese American women initiated an outpouring of highly organized activities in such areas as fund-raising, propaganda, civil defense, and Red Cross work. While some women in San Franciscos Chinatown joined in the armed services, many others went to work in businesses outside their neighborhood and in defense industries for the first time. 1.

It caused traffic jams in New York for seven weeks as 1.6 million people jostled to see it. In Tokyo viewers were allowed ten seconds each. The object of all this attention was the worlds most famous portrait, the Mona Lisa. Historically, its subject was nobody special, probably the wife of a Florentine merchant named Giocondo. But her portrait set the standard for High Renaissance paintings in many important ways. The use of perspective, which created the illusion of depth behind Mona Lisas head, and triangular composition established the importance of geometry in painting. It diverged from the stiff, profile portraits that had been the norm by displaying the subject in a relaxed, natural, three-quarter pose. One of the first easel paintings intended to be framed and hung on a wall, the Mona Lisa fully realized the potential of the new oil medium. Instead of proceeding from outlined figures, as painters did before, Leonardo modeled features through light and shadow. Starting with dark undertones, he built the illusion of three-dimensional features through layers and layers of thin, transparent glazes. This technique rendered the whole, as Leonardo said, “without lines of borders, in the manner of smoke.” His colors ranged from light to dark in a continuous gradation of subtle tones, without crisp separating edges. The forms seemed to emerge from, and melt into, shadows. 7. The main purpose of this passage is to A) illustrate the characteristics and the value of a well-known masterpiece B) introduce the painting technique of an important genre C) describe the contribution of a distinguished artist D) discuss the influence of an artistic reform 林巍洋老师 SSAT 全真模拟题（第一套/共十套） E) refute the norm of an aesthetic practice 8.
