A
Often, there is a false idea that ne must be “in-the-knw” t truly appreciate artwrks. Hwever, fine art pens the dr t everyne. Learning hw t lk at and understand artwrks requires us t take the time t view, identify and think.
Lk at the Art
As the first step, it’s necessary t take a mment t identify the artwrk’s general features:
● Is it a painting, sculpture r craftwrk?
● Des it appear chatic(混乱的)r rganized?
● Are the clrs bright r sft?
Identify the Art and Artist
Knwing when r hw the artwrk was made and learning smething abut the artist can reveal mre cntext. We all knw the famus painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picass in 1937. Hwever, if we can find ut Picass cmpsed the painting t reflect a bmbing during the Spanish Civil War, we’ll knw mre abut its anti-war meaning.
Even if the histrical cntext f an artwrk is nt bvius, knwing the year f its creatin ffers mre cntext.
Think Abut the Meaning
Use what yu bserved in the first tw steps t think abut meanings the artwrk culd have.
Cnsider what the title, the subjects, r the symbls meant t the artist when he r she created the artwrk. What d the clrs say abut the artist, and hw d they apply t the subjects in the art? Fr example, the wls in Leb’s wrks represent wisdm, but why are they s brightly clred?
In additin, ask hw the art makes yu feel. Many artists have specific meanings behind their art, but als encurage viewers t cme up with their wn explanatins. Still, every explanatin is nt autmatically crrect, which is why the techniques described abve are helpful in finding clues.
The next time yu’re admiring a wrk f art, keep these techniques in mind, and its meaning may unfld befre yur eyes.
31. What is the first step when viewing art?
A. Ding sme research n the artist.
B. Being “in-the-knw” abut the wrk
C. Identifying the wrk's general features
D. Knwing the year f an artwrk's creatin
32. When thinking abut the meaning f an artwrk, yu shuld ________.
A. explain it freely B. chse a title fr it
C. describe it t the viewersD. ask hw it makes yu feel
33. The passage is prbably written fr ________.
A. museum staffB. gallery visitrsC. prfessinal artistsD. exhibitin rganizers
B
Anuar Abdullah has always had a special feeling fr the cean. In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructr and fell in lve with crals. Twice daily, he went ut t sea, staying underwater fr as lng as his xygen supply allwed. He learned the shapes and textures(纹理) f cral reefs lng befre he knew their Latin names. He studied the living cnditins—the water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity(多样性) f cean life—and saw hw just ne f thse factrs culd bring abut large-scale death.
Abdullah spent tw decades experimenting with hw t grw cral reefs in the cean. He didn’t have a degree in marine (海洋的) bilgy r a research lab, but he had his wn ways. Almst all the materials he used t grw crals came directly frm the cean. He didn't use steel pipes r bricks—which he culdn’t affrd—instead, he gathered rcks frm the seaflr, piling them s they wuldn’t be kncked dwn by tidal waves. While thers might depend n a lab t break live cral int pieces that were in turn used fr grwing, he searched fr brken pieces f cral in existing reefs and fixed them t the rcks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed ther materials, he started by searching the beach fr waste.
Every day, the lcals saw him n his knees examining crals in the cean. Smetimes, he picked up a rck t which he had fixed a piece f cral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly, “My little acrpra (鹿角大珊瑚), hw are yu ding tday?” The lcals whispered abut hw he’d spent days in the water speaking t crals as if they were peple. “Everyne thught I was stupid,” said Abdullah, “But I knew I was ding the mst imprtant thing in the wrld.”
Actually, Abdullah was right. Nw, in a wrld rapidly lsing its cral reefs t climate change and envirnmental damage, he has becme an increasingly influential expert n hw t bring them back t life. Thusands have traveled frm arund the wrld t learn frm Abdullah hw t grw crals, with sme eventually leaving their jbs t jin his prjects full time. With his 700 active vlunteers, he has already saved abut 125 acres f cral reefs
34. Abdullah went ut t sea twice daily t ________.
A. study cral reefsB. have diving training
C. check his xygen supplyD. share his feelings fr the sea
35. Abdullah’s way f grwing crals is________,
A. ec-friendly and practicalB. traditinal and indirect
C. high-tech and affrdableD. scientific and expensive
36. Frm the passage we knw that Abdullah________.
A. searched fr waste t make a livingB. received a degree in marine bilgy
C. talked t everyne abut cral reefsD. became an expert n cral prtectin
37. What can we learn frm the stry?
A. Anyne with a dream is amazing.B. Achievement prvides true pleasure.
C. An individual can make a difference.D. The strng man is strngest when alne.
C
Have yu ever wished yu culd be better rganized r mre sciable? Perhaps yu’re a cnstant wrrier, and yu’d prefer t be a little mre carefree? Actually at least 2/3 f peple wuld like t change sme elements f their persnality. In the past, such desires appeared t be fruitless. One’s persnality was thught t be frmed in childhd and t remain fixed thrughut his entire life.
Recent research frm psychlgy prfessr Nathan Hudsn and his clleagues, hwever, challenges this expectatin f a fixed persnality. With the right psychlgical strategies and enugh effrt, they say, many peple can successfully shape their desired persnality.
Their interventins (干预) typically invlve recmmending regular activities that reflect the persnality traits(特征) peple wish t adpt. Intrverts wh wish t be mre utging, fr example, might have the gal f intrducing themselves t a stranger nce a week, r making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Smene wh wishes t be mre rganized and disciplined might be asked t carefully duble-check an email befre sending it, r t write a t-d list befre ging t bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is fr the thinking patterns and behavirs they prduce t becme habitual. And the evidence s far suggests it wrks remarkably well. In ne 15-week trial f 400 peple, participants accepted an average f tw challenges each week. After they cmpleted thse tasks, their traits shifted in the desired directin, accrding t a persnality questinnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected persnality change shuld be gd news fr anyne wh wishes they were a bit mre sciable, rganized, r happy-g-lucky. Anther ptential benefit is that awareness f this research culd help imprve mental health.
Peple always believe negative feelings are just part f wh they are, and there is little they can d t change them. But what if educating peple abut their ptential fr persnality change culd place them n a mre psitive track? T test this idea, Harvard prfessr f psychlgy, Jhn Weisz, and his partner selected a grup f 100 teenagers wh had previusly shwn signs f anxiety r depressin. They tk a cmputerized curse that explained the science f brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given wrksheets t strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in n the teens’ mental health nine mnths later, the students reprted a significant decrease in their anxiety and depressin cmpared with thse wh had instead taken part in a curse n “emtinal expressin”.
Whether yu are struggling with serius issues r simply want t plish ff yur rugher edges, remember that character is within yur wn hands and yu have the pwer t becme what yu want t be.
38. Accrding t the passage, an ld belief abut persnality is that ________.
A. mst peple are satisfied with their persnality
B. sciable r rganized peple are mre ppular
C. childhd has nthing t d with persnality
D. peple can't change their persnality traits
39. In Nathan Hudsn's research, participants ________.
A. became mre aware f their mental health
B. frmed new thinking patterns and behavirs
C. reprted their cmpleted tasks in the questinnaire
D. were advised t wrk as cashiers in the supermarket
40. Jhn Weisz’s study is mentined t ________ Hudsn’s research.
A. questin the result fB. make a cmparisn with
C. explain the methd used inD. shw an additinal benefit f
41. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A. Mental Issues: Mre than Meets the EyeB. Persnality: It Is Nt Set in Stne
C. Yur Persnality Shapes Yur FutureD. A Great Cure fr Mental Prblems
D
A cmerstne f envirnmental plicy is the debate ver prtecting nature fr humans’ sake (instrumental values) r fr nature’s (intrinsic values). We prpse that fcusing nly n instrumental r intrinsic values may fail t resnate (引起共鸣) views n persnal and cllective well-being, r “what is right,” abut nature and the envirnment. It is time t engage seriusly with a third class f values, ne with diverse rts and current expressins: relatinal values. By ding s, we reframe the discussin abut envirnmental prtectin, and pen the dr t new, ptentially mre prductive plicy appraches.
In philsphical terms, relatinal values are preferences, principles, and virtues assciated with relatinships, bth interpersnal and as required by plicies and scial nrms.
Relatinal values can apply t interactins with nature. Sme peple’s identities are rted in lng-term care and stewardship, such as vlunteer river-keepers, gardeners r farmers. Other peple and scial rganizatins hld wrldviews that value kinship(亲属关系) between peple and nature. They subscribe t the cncepts f “Mther Nature,” “Mther Earth,” and s n. Als, many peple believe that their cultural identity and well-being riginate frm their relatinships with human and nnhuman beings, cnnected by particular places. Caring fr and attending t places can be extremely imprtant fr maintaining cultural practices and cre values. Accrding t these views, the value f the land is nt independent f humans.
Therefre, envirnmental plicy and management shuld always cnsider the kinds f relatinships peple already have with nature, and hw these might be engaged t lessen the negative effects f human lifestyles n ecsystems and enhance psitive nes. Fr example, the bnd between parent r teacher and child can serve as a channel fr scial nrms, encuraging respect and passin fr nature, thrugh activities including fishing and hunting, gardening, hiking, r bird-watching. It is als pssible t develp values and relatinships thrugh lng-term and repeated experiences with peer(同伴) grups, by labring n the land r taking part in utdr adventure. Bnding is strengthened thrugh play, struggling, suffering, and celebrating tgether.
Relatinal values are finally receiving attentin. If activists, researchers, plicymakers, and private-sectr leaders internalize this message, perhaps envirnmental decisins will better accunt fr ur relatinships with nature and many cncepts f a gd life. Attending t such values is key t the real inclusin f diverse grups in envirnmental prtectin, and t achieving scial-eclgical relatinships that prvide fulfilling lives fr present and future generatins.
42. Accrding t the authr, relatinal values ________.
A. are traditinal expressins with a lng histry
B. prvide mre prductive philsphical appraches
C. help reflect n the right views abut prtecting nature
D. prve t be an effective way t imprve the envirnment
43. What des the underlined wrd “stewardship” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Management.B. Friendship.C. Applicatin.D. Happiness.
44. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Outdr adventure may damage scial relatinships.
B. The parent-child bnd usually leads t new scial nrms.
C. The value f the land is related t human interactins with it.
D. Human lifestyles will have mre negative effects n ecsystems.
45. What’s the purpse f the passage?
A. T encurage envirnmental prtectin thrugh grup wrk.
B. T prpse new values fr envirnmental plicy making.
C. T stress the imprtance f a better living envirnment.

Tm’s wife usually des the shpping, but she had the flu s Tm went instead. Selecting the fruits and vegetables went fine, but when he gt t the bread sectin, he had truble, because there were ver 60 varieties t chse frm. Tm cmpared different types and examined the differences. After 10 minutes f careful cnsideratin, he picked ne that seemed like the perfect chice. Hwever, he had t repeat the prcess fr the rest f the shpping list. By the time he had finished and paid fr everything, he was tired and upset.
Why did Tm have this kind f experience? Accrding t behaviral ecnmics research, althugh having sme ptins makes us feel gd, nce we get beynd that small number, the mre chices we have, the less happy we feel.
The cause f ur unhappiness has its rt in ne typical judgment errr we make—ur natural reactins prefer aviding lsses t making gains. This is prbably because f ur evlutinary(进化的) backgrund; ur minds evlved fr the savanna(热带草原) envirnment, nt fr ur mdem shpping cntext. Due t this, when we have lts f ptins, we feel anxius abut making the wrng chice and lsing ut n the best ne.
Digging int research n factrs that make a shpping trip an unhappy experience helps us imprve ur buying decisins. When chsing what t buy, the number ne technique invlves satisficing instead f maximizing.
Maximizing behavir refers t finding the perfect ptin when shpping. Maximizers cmpare all available ptins t make sure that they get the best deal in terms f perfrmance, price, and s n. They have high expectatins, and they hpe that the prduct will meet their expectatins.
It’s the ppsite fr satisficers. They set certain minimal criteria (最低标准) that need t be met, then search fr the first available prduct that meets the criteria. They lk fr prducts that are “gd enugh” instead f “perfect”. When they fcus n “gd enugh”, their brain autmatically highlights the psitives, and lwers the expectatins.
Research shws that maximizing behavir results in less happiness, less satisfactin, and mre regret than satisficing.
T be happier, satisfice and limit yur chices. Make a shrt list that cmpares a reasnable number f ptins and desn’t include every prduct available. After all, there’s n such thing as the perfect deal.
68. Why did Tm have truble selecting bread? (不多于9个单词)
