Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective (客观的) information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast (对比), one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are not holy.63. Which of the following statements has the closest meaning to the underlined sentence? A. General history only focuses on politics.aB. Art history shows us nothing but the political values.C. General history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology.D.Art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a place.64. Art is subjective in that _. A. it can easily arouse peoples anger about their government B. it only reflects peoples anger or sadness about social problems.C. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it.D. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society. 65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting. B. In history books political views of people are entirely presented.C. For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches. D. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on church walls.66. Whats the main topic of the passage? A. The development of art history. B. What we can learn from art.C. The influence of artists on art history. D. The difference between general history and art history. DIn this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her free time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year.As a writer I know about winning contests, and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip (退稿条) from the publisher. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesnt win the contest again? Thats the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and ruined hopes can surface.A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Dont you want to win again?”“No”, she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughters experience.While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.67. What do we learn form the first paragraph? A. Now too many entertainments take up too much time.B. Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.C. Rebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her free time.D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.68. What did the author say about her own writing experience? A. She was constantly under pressure of writing more.B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.D. Her way to success was full of pains and frustrations.69. Why did Rebecca want to enter this years writing contest? A. She had won a prize in the previous contest.B. She wanted to share her stories with readers.C. She was sure of winning with her mothers help.D. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.70. Whats the authors advice for parents? A. Children should be given every chance to voice their opinions.B. Parents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.C. Children should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.D. A writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.第II卷 非选择题（共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 注意：每空一词。 Traveling on the Information SuperhighwayIn the early 1990s, few people outside of governments and universities had ever heard the term internet.
