The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians,  all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450~1600. The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual-values. Fulfillment in life—as opposed to concern about an afterlife—became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on.  Artists and writers turned to secular (非宗教的) as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.

These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed, experienced, discussed, and circulated. They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures(雕塑), plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.

The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general culture movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore, music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.

71. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.

B. The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance.

C. The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.

D. The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance.

72. The underlined phrase “frowned on”in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______ .

A. given up                                               B. forgotten about

C. argued about                                         D. disapproved of

73. It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of________ .

A. spirituality in everyday life

B. communication among artists across Europe

C. a cultural emphasis on human values

D. religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular(非宗教的)themes

74. What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?

A. Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.

B. It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.

C. It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture, painting and poetry.

D. It had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed.

75. According to the passage, Renaissance artists and writers had all of the following intentions EXCEPT______ .

A. to use religious themes

B. to portray only the pleasant parts of human experience

C. to produce art that people would find attractive

D. to create works that were easily understood

　Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural (文化的) difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological (心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.

　　 The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.

　　 Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure（壓力）. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
