37、vations on weekdays.BGrant Woods American Gothic is a painting thats puzzled generations whove stopped to wonder at the real meaning behind it. We all know it: a serious-looking couple in front of their gothic-arched wooden housein a style called Carpenters Gothic, for which the painting is named.It

38、 was painted in 1930, when US artists were inspired to paint realist scenes of rural America during the Depression in a style that became known as Regionalism. The couple are identified either as a farmer and his wife, or as a daughter with her unsmiling and over-protective father. Woods sister, Nan

39、, who posed for the picture, always insisted the two were father and daughter, perhaps finding the age gap too improper. The relationship has always remained interestingly conflicting.Unlike her elder companions fixed stare, the woman glances off to the side. Her expression is actually difficult to

40、determine. She looks sorrowful, or perhaps uncomfortable, though her straitlaced primness (拘谨保守的古板) is weakened by an escaping coil of hair at the back of her neck. As if holding guard against those anticipated intruders (侵入者)probably, protecting his daughter-wifes virtue, though she doesnt seem par

41、ticularly happy about itthe man holds a pitchfork in a soldier-like fashion. And that is what lends the work its uneasy (不协调的) comedy. Everything about it is an artful set-up.First of all, Nan never actually posed with the man in the picture, nor are they in any way related. Wood had spotted the hou

42、se during a drive to the town of Eldon in Iowa. It immediately gave him an idea. “That idea was to find two people who, by their straitlaced characters, would be suitable for such a home,” he later explained. The couple were actually painted separately, and neither sitter was painted in front of the

43、 house. The farmer, as you might have already guessed, isnt actually a farmer, but a certain Dr Bryon McKeeby, a wealthy dentist from Cedar Rapids, where Wood lived with his mother and sister. The couples clothing too has been carefully handpicked by the artist.In addition, both their faces, Nans in

44、 particular, have been thinned and lengthened, as has the famous gothic window and roof. And, if you look carefully, you might even detect something funereal about the scene, beyond the tombstone features of the couple. Its suggested by the womans primly buttoned black dress, and in the mans smart b

45、lack overcoat. Some thought the work mercilessly laughed at the lifestyle in the Midwest. Meanwhile, some critics praised the painting as a cutting small-town satire (讽刺). Still others saw the painting as honoring the Midwest and its strong values.Regarding the paintings comic tone, Wood himself gav

46、e contradictory accounts. “There is satire in it,” he once said, “but only as there is satire in any realistic statement.” Perhaps it is this ambiguity that has made the painting the most symbolic in US history. 58. What is uncertain about American Gothic?A. The identity of the models. B. The charac

47、ters relationship.C. How the painting got its name. D. Where the background house was.59. What indicates the womans straitlaced primness?A. Her glancing off to the side. B. Her carefully buttoned black dress.C. The determination in her expression. D. The escaping coil of hair at the back of her neck

48、.60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Ambiguity is an essential part of any good painting.B. It is beyond doubt that the painting has a comic tone.C. The statement that Wood himself gave clarifies nothing.D. American Gothic is the most controversial in US history.CLast year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight (伦理上的疏忽) of government-funded primate (灵长类) research.
