35.ThehistoryofresponsestotheworkoftheartistSandroBotticelli(1444—1510)suggeststhatwidespreadappreciationbycriticsisarelativelyrecentphenomenon.Writingin1550,VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork,admittingthattheartistfittedawkwardlyintohisevolutionaryschemeofthehistoryofart.Overthenexttwocenturies,academicarthistoriansdefamedBotticelliinfavorofhisfellowsFlorentine,Michelangelo.Evenwhenanti-academicarthistoriansoftheearlynineteenthcenturyrejectedmanyofthestandardsofevaluationadoptedbytheirpredecessors,Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs.(Manyofhisbestpaintings,however,remainedhiddenawayinobscurechurchesandprivatehomes.)

TheprimaryreasonforBotticelli'sunpopularityisnotdifficulttounderstand:mostobservers,upuntilthemid-nineteenthcentury,didnotconsiderhimtobenoteworthy,becausehiswork,forthemostpart,didnotseemtotheseobserverstoexhibitthetraditionalcharacteristicsofthefifteenth-centuryFlorentineart.Forexample,Botticellirarelyemployedthetechniqueofstrictperspectiveand,unlikeMichelangelo,neverusedchiaroscuro.

AnotherreasonforBotticelli'sunpopularitymayhavebeenthathisattitudetowardthestyle.ofclassicalartwasverydifferentfromthatofhiscontemporaries.Althoughhewasthoroughlyexposedtoclassicalart,heshowedlittleinterestinborrowingfrom,theclassicalstyle.Indeed,itisparadoxicalthatapainteroflarge-scaleclassicalsubjectsadoptedastyle.thatwas.onlyslightlysimilartothatofclassicalart.

Inanycase,whenviewersbegantoexaminemorecloselytherelationshipofBotticelli'sworktothetraditionofthefifteenthcenturyHorentineart,hisreputationbegantogrow.AnalysesandassessmentsofBotticellimadebetween1850and1870bytheartistsofthePre-Raphaelitemovement,aswellasbythewriterPater(althoughhe,unfortunately,basedhisassessmentonanincorrectanalysisofBotticelli'spersonality),inspiredanewappreciationofBotticellithroughouttheEnglish-speakingworld.YetBotticelli'swork,especiallytheSistinefrescoes,didnotgenerateworldwideattentionuntilitwasfinallysubjectedtoacomprehensiveandscrupulousanalysisbyHomein1908.Homerightlydemonstratedthatthefrescoessharedimportantfeatureswithpaintingsbyotherfifteenth-centuryFlorentines—featuressuchasskillfulrepresentationofanatomicalproportions,andofthehumanfigureinmotion.However,Homearguedthat.Botticellididnottreatthesequalitiesasendsinthemselves—rather,thatheemphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievementandonethatmadethetraditionalFlorentinequalitieslesscentral.

BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart,thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli'sa-chievements.

16.productionproduction解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabouttheirproducts．”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

17.asas解析：此处为因果关系，意为“因为许多人没有…”，因此此处应填填连词“as”。

18.towardtoward解析：作者要表达的意思是“我怎么才能对别人诚实。”英语中表达“对某人…”一般是用介词toward。故答案为toward。

19.gripgrip解析：显然，此空应填一个动词“握，拿”，英语中握笔用动词grip。

20.ofof解析：deprivesb．ofsth．为固定短语，意为“剥夺某人的某东西(或某权利)”。

21.onon解析：dependenceon意为“依赖，依靠”，是固定短语。

22.WarmWarm解析：由此句中的“contrastiveviews”可知，观点是相对的，此空所在短句意为“从…赞扬到冷酷的批评”，显然，应是“热烈的”。

23.whichwhich解析：“声誉建立的基础”英语表达为“thefoundationonwhichreputationsarebuilt”，which指代foundations。

24.WhenWhen解析：这里的一句话其实与下一半句“whenwearedown-to-earth，…”所起到的作用是一样的，同时两者也是并列的，when表达了“当…”，所以这里填when。故答案为when。

25.itit解析：本句意为“‘污染’意思是弄脏——表层土或什么东西，通过引进杂质，这使…不健康或不干净。”显然，此空处应指topsoilorsomething，因为前面已出现，所以用it来代替。

26.DD解析：此处的上面提到了两个问题，而选项D中也对两个问题做出了相应的解释
