41、art must not be regarded on its own.

42、ality. Thus, when discussing, for example, the art of ancient myth, of medieval Christianity, or that of the technological age, one must be aware that myth, Christianity, or technology was the most outstanding feature of the epoch.

What is mentioned as one of the conditions through which art is seen? A. Impressionism. B. Optical illusions. C. Nature. D. Perspective. 59. Why di

46、d the Egyptians search for the permanent essence of an object? A. Egyptian art was thought to be unrealistic constructivism. B. They should present a person in his individual movements. C.

The way in which reality appears in art should be regarded only on its own. C. Myth, Christianity, or technology was under the influence of a unique

48、style. D. Works of art were usually produced in response to certain interpretations. C A new study revealed that the formation of the Earth, Sun and Moon that cause changes in Earths tides can also trigger a special kind of Earthquake along the Californias San Andreas Fault （断层）. The study, publishe

49、d in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, is based on previous researcher suggesting that the gravitational tug of sun and moon is not only affecting the sea levels of Earth, but can also stretch and compress that Earths crust, producing tremors and quakes. Furthermore, the ne

50、w study showed that small tremors deep underground were more likely to occur during certain periods of the tidal cycle. For the study, the researchers looked at about 81,000 low-frequency earthquakes from 2008 to 2015 along the Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault and compared it to the two-we

51、ek tidal cycle known as the “fortnightly tide.” Low-frequency earthquakes are named due to the rumbling sound they make and not by the rate of its occurrence. These kinds of earthquake only occur about 15 to 30 kilometers below ground and are no larger than magnitude 1 in the Richter scale. The rese

52、archers discovered that low-frequency earthquakes tend to occur during the waxing period of the tidal cycle, when the tides are getting little by little. It is already known that the strongest Earth tides occur when the sun and moon are in a straight line, while the tide is at its weakest state when

53、 the sun and moon 文档 are 90 degrees apart. According to the researchers, low-frequency earthquakes show that some part of the San Andreas Fault is creeping, or slowly moving, almost all the time. With the help of the tidal forces, low-frequency earthquakes could provide more information about the de

54、eper part of the fault. “They tell us that the fault continues down below where the regular or typical earthquakes stop on the San Andreas, about 10 or 12 km (about 6 to 7 miles),” said David Shelly, a seismologist at USGS and helped write the study, in a statement. “And they tell us a lot of things about that deep part of the fault that we had no idea existed at all before.” “Its almost like having a lot of little creep meters embedded in the fault,” Shelly said. “We can use these low-frequency earthquakes as measurements of, at least in a rela
