each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. the impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the cro-magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. to sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods. over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. past or present, eastern or western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings. 72. leslies paintings are extraordinary because . a. they are close in style to works in ancient times b. they look like works by 19th-century painters c. they draw attention to common things in life d. they depend heavily on color photography 73. what is the authors opinion of artistic reality? a. it will not be found in future works of art. b. it does not have a long-lasting standard. c. it is expressed in a fixed artistic form. d. it is lacking in modern works of art. 74. what does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph? a. they express peoples curiosity about the past. b. they make people interested in everyday experience. c. they are considered important for variety in form. d. they are regarded as a mirror of the human situation. 75. which of the following is the main topic of the passage? a. history of the arts. b. basic questions of the arts. c. new developments in the arts. d. use of modern technology in the arts. 3答案 72.c 73.b 74.d 75.b*结束as people continue to grow and age, our body systems(系统) continue to change. at a certain point in your life your body systems will begin to weaken. your strength may become weaker. it may become more difficult for you to see and hear. the slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. in order to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this change that leads us toward the end of our lives.many factors(因素) decide your health. a good diet plays an important role. the amount and type of exercise you get is another factor. your living condition is yet another. but scientists studying aging problem want to know: why do people grow old? they hope that by studying the aging medical science they may be able to make the length of life longer.there is nothing to be afraid of as old age comes. many consider the later part of life to be the best time for living. physical activity may become less, but often you get better understanding of yourself and the world.what we consider old age now may only be middle-aged some day soon. who knows, with so many advances in medical science happening so quickly, life length may one day be measured in centuries, rather that in years!1. when people become aging, they will lo
