Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand - he wants to teach them, and h

25、e 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 experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions

26、 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 b

27、odies in motion and repose; 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 cho

28、ose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint gangrenous 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 somethi

29、ng all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. (1). It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because_ A. most painters do not express themselves well B. a painter uses unusual words and phrases C. a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words D. many pa

30、inters do not say anything (2). An artists choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be _ A. meaningful in themselves B. merely beautiful C. a reflection of his experiences D. worth looking at (3). The writer says that contemporary artists might say their choice of subject _. A.

31、 carries a message to the public B. only provides interesting patterns C. has no pattern of form D. teaches the public important truths (4). The writer says that contemporary art contains _. A. nothing but meaningless patterns B. uninteresting aspects of the world C. subjects chosen partly for their

32、 meaning D. completely meaningless subjects (5). The passage implied that_. 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 i

33、s saying 2. Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide. Such a greenho

34、use effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planets atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NASAs scientists to establ

35、ish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planets atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has

36、 a relatively thin atmosphere like Earths but Venus atmosphere consists of more than ninet y percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does Earths. Thus, the Ve

37、nus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Earths agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. (1). Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A

38、. The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A New Theory D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus (2). According to the passage, what heats the atmosphere on Venus? A. The green house effect B. The sunlight C. The radiation D. The carbon dioxide (3). According to the passage,

39、how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth? A. It contains much more carbon dioxide B. It is four percent thinner C. It holds significantly less moisture D. It traps less heat radiation (4). It can be inferred from the passage that the burning of fossil fuels on Earth may cause _. A.

40、 more carbon dioxide to enter sea water B. more sunlight to reach the Earths surface C. the planets temperature to change D. the atmosphere to become thinner (5). According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to _. A. predict changes in the planets orbit B. test a theory about more

41、 efficient greenhouse C. test the efficiency of a spacecraft D. predict future agricultural problems on Earth 3. At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by earthquake tremors.
