閱讀理解

　　It is, perhaps, no accident that many of the outstanding figures of the past were exceptionally versatile men. Right up until comparatively recent times, it was possible, for an intelligent person to acquaint himself with almost every branch of knowledge. Thus, men of genius like Leonardo Da Vinci or Sir Philip Sidney, engaged in many careers at once as a matter of course. Da Vinci was so busy with his numerous inventions that he barely found the time to complete his paintings; Sidney, who died in battle when he was only thirty-two years old, was not only a great soldier, but a brilliant scholar and poet as well. Both these men came very near to fulfilling the Renaissance ideal(文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期的典型) of the “universal man”, the man who was proficient as everything.

　　Today, we rarely, if ever, hear that a musician has just invented a new type of submarine. Knowledge has become divided and sub-divided into countless, narrowlydefined compartments. The specialist is venerated(受尊敬的); the versatile person, far from being admired, is more often regarded with suspicion. The modern world is a world of highly-skilled “experts” who have had to devote the greater part of their lives to a very limited field of study in order to compete with their fellows.

　　With this high degree of specialization, the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly than ever before. But this has not been achieved without considerable cost. The scientist, who outside his own particular subject is little more than a moron(低能者), is a modern phenomenon; as is the man of letters who is barely aware of the tremendous strides that have been made in technology. Similarly, specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life. Many activities which were once pursued for their own sakes, are often given up in despair: they require techniques, the experts tell us, which take a life-time to master. Why learn to play the piano, when you can listen to the world's greatest pianists in your own drawing-room?

　　Little by little, we are becoming more and more isolated from each other. It is almost impossible to talk to your neighbor about his job, even if he is engaged in roughly the same work as you are. The Royal Society in Britain includes among its members only the most eminent(杰出的) scientists in the country. Yet it is highly disconcerting(窘迫的) to find that even here, as one of its fellows put it, at a lecture only 10％ of the members can understand 50％ of what is being said!

1．In the modern world, the versatile person is ________.

[　　]

B．The scientist who works outside his own particular subject is a genius.

C．Specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life.

D．We can listen to the world's greatest pianists without learning to play the piano.

3．In Royal Society in Britain, at a lecture only ________ of the members can understand ________of what is being said.

[　　]

A．50％; 10％
B．90％; 10％
C．10％; 90％
D．10％; 50％

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：2013-2014學(xué)年陜西省高三第五次適應(yīng)性訓(xùn)練英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

 

Grant Wood’s American Gothic caused a stir （轟動(dòng)）in 1930 when it was exhibited for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago and awarded a prize of 300 dollars. Newspapers across the country carried the story, and the painting of a farmer and a younger woman posed before a white house brought the artist instant fame.

????????????? In 1930, Grant Wood, an American painter with European training, noticed a small white house built in the small southern Iowa town of Eldon. Wood was so fascinated by it that he decided to paint the house along with the kind of people he thought should live in that house. In the painting, the farmer is modeled on his dentist. Dr. Byron McKeeby. His younger sister Nan served as a model for the woman （imagined to be the farmer’s wife or daughter）. Wood wanted to give a description of the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork symbolizing hard labor. Each element was painted separately; the models sat separately and never stood in front of the house. The Gothic style of the house inspired the painting’s title.

????????????? American Gothic remains one of the most famous paintings in the history of American art. The painting has become part of American popular culture. Some believe that Wood used it to satirize（諷刺） the narrow-mindedness that has been said to characterize Midwestern culture. The painting may also be read as a praise of the moral virtue or rural America or even as a mixture of praise and satire. American Gothic is one of the few images to reach the status of cultural symbol, along with Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

1.Which of the following is true about American Gothic?

A．It won a prize of ￡ 300.

B．The two characters in it posed before the White House.

C．It was the first painting by Grant Wood.

D．It was on show at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1930.

2.From the passage we can infer Iowa is in __________.

A．the southern town of Eldon???? ????????????? B．the Midwest of the United States

C．a European country?????????? D．the city of Chicago

3.Grant Wood chose the two models __________.

A．to describe traditional roles of men and women

B．to praise the moral virtue of rural America

C．to make his dentist and his sister famous

D．to carry the story across the country

4.The title of the painting is based on __________.

A．the name of a small town?? ????????????? B．the man and the woman

C．the Gothic style of the house???? D．the pitchfork symbolizing hard labor

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

The Last Supper is regarded as one of the greatest masterpieces（杰作）in the whole field of pictorial art. Tradition says that Leonardo da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting, and the monks（修道士）in the church were angered at the delay. It was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to night without eating his meals. But at other times he spent hours before the picture, lost in contemplation, examining, comparing, and measuring with his figures. This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy（愛挑剔的）Prior, the head of the church, who belonged to the large group of those who believe that the busier a man seems, the more he completes; and so he tried to find fault with the lazy painter. Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else that there is a great difference between the work of the creative artist and the stonemason（石匠）. The creative artist needs time for contemplation; he may be busiest when his hands are idlest. Just now he needed two heads to complete the picture: that of Christ, for which no model on earth could be found, for it was hard to find the man whose face would express the strength, beauty, tenderness, and deep sorrow of the Christ; then he also needed a head for Judas, and it was hard to find the man whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor（卑鄙的叛徒）. But he would look no further, if none came his way, he would be satisfied to take the Prior as a model for Judas. This threat silenced the angry Prior, who quite naturally had no desire to present himself to descendants（后代）in such a fashion.

 

59．Why did the Prior complain about the delay?

A. Because he thought that the painter idled most of the hours.
B. Because he knew that genius might be busiest when seemingly idlest.
C. Because he liked the work of a stonemason.
D. Because he was eager to be taken as a model for Judas.

60．What does “contemplation” in the last sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Great possibility.                            B. Good attitude.

C. Deep thought.                                D. Eager expectation.

61．Which of the following is NOT true?

 A. Leonardo took the fussy Prior as a model for Judas.

B. The Prior was discontented with da Vinci’s method of work.

C. The painting was completed in ten years.

D. The painting is justly regarded as one of the world’s masterpieces.

62．Why did the Prior stop complaining?

A. He did not wish to be remembered like an evil traitor after he died.

B. He wanted to be painted as Judas who betrayed his master.

C. He disliked to be painted in fashionable clothes.

D. He was pleased to be a fashionable model.
