[多选题]

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public.Not only doe

s he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before.He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach them, and what he wants them to learn from him.

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.

Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.

If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world.Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

1.An artist hopes that the public will ____.

A.understand him and learn from him

B.notice only shapes and colors in his work

C.teach him something

D.believe what he says in his work

2.It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because he/ she ___.

A.uses shapes and colors instead of words

B.uses unusual words and phrases

C.does not express himself /herself well

D.does not say anything clearly

3.The writer points out that contemporary artists might say their choices of subject _____.

A.only provide interesting patterns

B.teach the public important truths

C.have no pattern or form

D.carry a message to the public

4.The writer also points out that contemporary art contains ____.

A.nothing but meaningless patterns

B.uninteresting aspects of the world

C.completely meaningless subjects

D.subjects chosen partly for their meanings

5.What is implied in this passage？()

A.A painting is more easily understood than a symphony.

B.Art is merely the arranging of shape and color.

C.Every artist tries to say something to the public.

D.One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying.

Somepeoplehateeverythingthatismodern.Theycannotimaginehowanyonecanreallylikemodernmusic;th

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they

find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom

have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for

perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient

with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original

ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can

only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if

it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does

sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient

buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn

from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to

imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.

A. they are aged

B. they find it hard to accept modern things

C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek

D. they look at things by the standards of the past

The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a
brilliant holograph.It burns its way into your new acquaintance ’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.

Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearanceof his subjects, but zeroing in on the essenceof their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad（素描侧） . One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see,for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishnessof Clinton, the awkwardness of GeorgeBush.

Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he ’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject ’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “ Well, er, that ’s great. But it really isn ’t me. ”The crowd ’s convincing echo of “ Ohyes it is! ” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world ’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I askedRobert how he could capture people ’s personalities so well. He said, “ It ’s simple. I just look at them. ” Almost every fact of people ’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.

First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people ’s heads are spinning. They must form. quick judgments to make senseof the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot.That image of you becomesthe datathey deal with for a long time.

People usually get the first impression of a person through__________ .

A.reading an article about him or her in a famous magazine

B.getting acquainted with his or her beat friends

C.taking a brief look at his or her appearance

D.studying his or her personality carefully

Why doesthe author saythat Robert hasaunique gift？A.He can draw the subject carefully

B.He can memorize the namesof people instantly

C.He can illustrate the subject ’s characteristic

D.He cancommunicate with the famous people effectively

What does the phrase“ zeroing in on ”most probably mean？A.relying on

B.responding on

C.acknowledging on

D.grasping

B.the crowd treated the subject rudely

C.the artist failed to show his respectfor the subject

D.the image of the drawing was too real to believe

We canconclude from the passage that ___________.A.oneshould never trust a person by his or her appearance

"The language of a composer", Cardus wrote, "his harmonies, rhythms, melodies, colors and
texture, cannot be separated except by pedantic analysis from the mind and sensibility of the artist who happens to be expressing himself through them".

But that is precisely the trouble; for as far as I can see, Mozart's can. Mozart makes me begin to see ghosts, or at the very least ouija-boards. If you read Beethoven's letters, you feel that you are at the heart of a tempest, a whirlwind, a furnace; and so you should, because you are. If you read Wagner's, you feel that you have been run over by a tank, and that, too, is an appropriate response.

But if you read Mozart's—and he was a hugely prolific letter-writer—you have no clue at all to the power that drove him and the music it squeezed out of him in such profusion that death alone could stop it; they reveal nothing—nothing that explains it. Of course it is absurd(though the mistake is frequently made)to seek external causes for particular works of music; but with Mozart it is also absurd, or at any rate useless, to seek for internal ones either. Mozart was an instrument. But who was playing it？

That is what I mean by the Mozart Problem and the anxiety it causes me. In all art, in anything, there is nothing like the perfection of Mozart, nothing to compare with the range of feeling he explores, nothing to equal the contrast between the simplicity of the materials and the complexity and effect of his use of them. The piano concertos themselves exhibit these truths at their most intense; he was a greater master of this form. than of the symphony itself, and to hear every one of them, in the astounding abundance of genius they provide, played as I have so recently heard them played, is to be brought face to face with a mystery which, if we could solve it, would solve the mystery of life itself.

We can see Mozart, from infant prodigy to unmarked grave. We know what he did, what he wrote, what he felt, whom he loved, where he went, what he died of. We pile up such knowledge as a child does bricks; and then we hear the little tripping rondo tune of the last concerto—and the bricks collapse; all our knowledge is useless to explain a single bar of it. It is almost enough to make me believe in — but I have run out of space, and don't have to say it. Put K. 595 on the gramophone and say it for me.

According to Paragraph 1, Cardus observed that ______ .

A．a composer can separate his language and harmonies from his own mind and sensibility

B．a composer can separate his language and harmonies from the mind and sensibility of an artist

C．some people can separate the language and harmonies of a composer from his mind and sensibility

D．the language, harmonies, rhythms, melodies, colors and texture of a composer cannot be separated from each other

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they
will cause a big problem. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what the parent expects, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a reasonable way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Lee Chao Tin is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father is a good trumpet player. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michael’s friend, Winston Chiu Fang Weng, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

61.Which of the following mistakes are parents likely to make according to the passage？

A.To neglect their child’s education.

B.To help their child to be a genius.

C.To expect too much of their child.

D.To make their child become a musician.

62.What should parents do in order to help their children succeed？A.They should push the children into achieving a lot.

B.They should try to have their own successful careers.

C.They should arrange private lessons for their children.

D.They should understand and help their children in difficult times.

63.Which of the following statements about Michael Lee’s parents is true？

A.His father is a very poor player of trumpet.

B.His parents are quite rich and have a car.

C.His parents help him in a proper way.

D.His mother knows much about music.

64.Winston’s parents push their son so much that __________.

A.he has succeeded in a lot of competitions

B.he is unhappy because he is not self-confident

C.he feels he cannot learn anything about music from them

D.he has already become a better musician than his father

65.The two examples illustrate the principle that __________.

A.successful parents often have unsuccessful children

B.it is important to let children develop in the way they want

C.parents who want their child to be musical should also be good musicians

D.the more money spent on a child’s education, the better the child will do

"I'm a total geek all around", says Angela Byron, a 27-year-old computer programmer who ha
s just graduated from Nova Scotia Community College. And yet, like many other students, she "never had the confidence" to approach any of the various open-source software communities on the internet—distributed teams of volunteers who collaborate to build software that is then made freely available. But thanks to Google, the world's most popular search engine and one of the biggest proponents of open-source software, Ms Byron spent the summer contributing code to Drupal, an open-source project that automates the management of websites. "It's awesome", she says.

Ms Byron is one of 419 students (out of 8,744 who applied) who were accepted for Google's "summer of code". While it sounds like a hyper-nerdy summer camp, the students neither went to Google's campus in Mountain View, California, nor to wherever their mentors at the 41 participating open-source projects happened to be located. Instead, Google acted as a matchmaker and sponsor. Each of the participating open-source projects received $500 for every student it took on; and each student received $4,500 ($500 right away, and $4,000 on completion of their work). Oh, and a T-shirt.

All of this is the idea of Chris DiBona, Google's open-source boss, who was brainstorming with Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google's founders, last year. They realised that a lot of programming talent goes to waste every summer because students take summer jobs flipping burgers to make money, and let their coding skills degrade. "We want to make it better for students in the summer", says Mr. DiBona, adding that it also helps the open- source community and thus, indirectly, Google, which uses lots of open-source software behind the scenes. Plus, says Mr. DiBona, "it does become an opportunity for recruiting".

Elliot Cohen, a student at Berkeley, spent his summer writing a "Bayesian network toolbox" for Python, an open-source programming language. "I'm a pretty big fan of Google", he says. He has an interview scheduled with Microsoft, but "Google is the only big company that I would work at", he says. And if that doesn't work out, he now knows people in the open-source community, "and it's a lot less intimidating".

Ms Byron's comment on her own summer experiment is ______.

A．negative

B．biased

C．puzzling

D．enthusiastic

You' d think Pauline Hord would have served her time by now. After all, she recently celeb
rated her 90th birthday, and by the time she achieved that breathtaking milestone, she ' d already done a 10-year stretch in the Mississippi State Prison.

Ms Hord is a sweet-natured, gentle -talking, white-haired Southerner who never owed a debt to society—thus, she never had to pay one. So you have to wonder what a woman like this is doing in a place where most people are itching to get loose. Unlike the rest of the population, Ms Hord goes to prison freely and eagerly. And when she gets there, she persuades prisoners of every sort to sing little ditties about their ABCs and XYZs.

At age 80 , Ms Hord began teaching prisoners to read during a chance visit to the State Prison with a lawyer friend. "When I got there, I heard that a group of volunteer workers had been praying for a teacher. They asked me if I would come and I said I would be thrilled, " she said.

On a personal level, Ms Hord considers this rewarding work. If you get at the reason why these men went into crime, you will find that none of them succeeded in their early years of schooling. "They went to school at 5 believing they were going to learn to read. When they didn't learn in the first or second grade, they realized something was wrong. By 8, they were having problems. By 12 or 13, they were drinking or using drugs. And it's getting worse. I' m seeing younger and younger prisoners who know less and less. They can't read well enough to function in this society. " She says.

It is this situation that Ms Hord goes to prison week after week to correct. And when her most difficult students finally begin to read, she is sure that she, too, knows why the caged birds sing.

Ms Hord goes to prison eagerly to______.

A．sing songs for the prisoners

B．teach the prisoners to read

C．pray for the prisoners

D．make friends with the prisoners
