2、_二、Part II Reading C(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Pop Art was defined by images of material goods and popular culture. Pop artists rejected the serious nature of the art world. To do this, these artists painted or printed everyday images of things that usually are not considered art. These images included photogr
3、aphs from magazines, drink advertisements and drawings from popular comic strips. Some critics say that Pop Art was a reaction to Abstract Expressionism. Artists of the Abstract Expressionist movement took themselves very serious. They did not approve of popular culture. They thought artists should
4、not be concerned with such unimportant parts of culture. Pop artists, however, celebrated popular culture in all of its forms. They approved of using mass media and mass production as an influence in their art. Pop Art also reflected the rise in wealth and the importance of owning things that Americ
5、a experienced in the 1950s. One art critic defined Pop art as popular, low-cost, young, mass-produced and sexy. Warhol is one of the most famous Pop artists. From the introduction of him, we can see what proposals a pop art holds for his/her art. One of Warhols first exhibits was in 1962. He created
6、 thirty-two paintings of red and white soup cans. These paintings shook the art world. The soup cans looked like the soup produced by one of Americas most popular food companies, Campbells. Every painting looked the same except for the words written on the can that described the different kinds of s
7、oup. Warhol used a very smooth painting method so the artwork almost did not look hand-made. The paintings looked like they came out of the same factory that made the soup cans. No one had ever seen art like this. Warhol also made paintings using images such as Coca Cola bottles, dollar symbols, and
8、 popular cleaning products. He took the most everyday objects and turned them into fine art. Warhol soon started making silk-screen prints. This method of reproduction permitted the artist to make many images very quickly. He would often repeat the same picture many times in one artwork. He liked th
9、e idea of mass produced art. He once said that he thought everyone should think alike and be like a machine. In fact, the place where he created his art was called The Factory. He had many assistants who helped him produce his art. Warhol explored many other subjects. For example, he made a series o
10、f paintings on death and disaster. These works showed images of car accidents and executions. He also made pictures of famous people such as the actress Marilyn Monroe and the singer Elvis Presley. Warhol was very interested in fame. He celebrated famous people and they celebrated him. Andy Warhol o
11、nce said something about fame that became very popular and is still repeated today. He said that in the future, everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes. Warhol certainly enjoyed being well known. He created a very unusual public personality. He would wear strange wigs on his head made of white
12、hair. He would go out every night to parties and other social gatherings where there were beautiful and important people. He would talk to reporters in a very shy manner. Often he would provide unclear answers to their questions. Andy Warhol was much more than just a painter. He was also a film make
13、r, publisher, and manager of a rock band. For example, he produced several low budget art films in the early nineteen sixties. One was called “Empire“. It showed a filmed image of the Empire State Building in New York City. The film was eight hours long. In the movie “Sleep“, Warhol recorded a frien
14、d sleeping. The film lasts six hours. When asked about the uneventful nature of these films, Warhol answered that he liked boring or uninteresting things. In the middle 1960s, Warhol also managed a rock band called The Velvet Underground. He helped produce one of their records and designed the cover
15、 of the album. Another of Warhols projects was the creation of “Interview“ magazine. This magazine covered many kinds of American popular culture. Andy Warhol was able to interview the kinds of people he liked best, famous people. A colorful drawing of a famous person was on the cover of every issue
16、 of the magazine. The image was drawn in the style of Warhols paintings. In 1968, Andy Warhol was shot by a woman who had been in one of his films. Valerie Solanas was angry with Warhol for not making a movie based on a play she wrote. The bullet from the gun hit several of Warhols organs and almost
17、 killed him. The medias reaction to this event made him even more famous. Even though he worked on many other projects, Andy Warhol always kept producing artwork. In the nineteen seventies he made millions of dollars painting peoples portraits. Wealthy people all over the world paid a great deal of
18、money to have him paint their pictures. In the 1980s, Warhol worked with several younger artists. They included Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Warhol also wrote several books and created two cable television programs. Warhols art would have surely continued in many new directions. But he die
19、d as a result of problems after a minor operation in nineteen eighty-seven. He was fifty-eight years old. At his death, Warhols total estimated worth was more than one hundred million dollars. Most of this money helped create the Andy Warhol Foundation which helps support the visual arts. In 1994, t
20、he Andy Warhol Museum opened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This museum is in a large industrial building. As you walk up the seven floors of the museum, you can see more than five hundred works of art by Warhol. The museum has pieces from every period of his career. On the fifth floor there is a spec
21、ial exhibit called Silver Clouds. This room is based on an art gallery show that Warhol designed in 1966. The room is filled with many silver colored balloons that are square shaped. The balloons contain helium and oxygen so that they float around with the air currents. Warhols idea was to create a
22、joyful and magical room in which the artwork moved around the visitors. Andy Warhol helped change the way the world defined modern art. His colorful Pop Art images and unusual personality made him one of the most famous and important people in American art and culture. （分数：71.00）(1).Pop Art was conn

40、:_填空项 1:_七、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：2，分数：177.00)Less than a year ago, a new generation of diet pills seemed to offer the long-sought answer to our chronic weight problems. Hundreds of thousands of pound-conscious Americans had discovered that a drug combination known as “fen-phen“ could shut off vor
41、acious appetites like magic, and the FDA had just approved a new drug, Redux, that did the same with fewer side effects. Redux would attract hundreds of thousands of new pill poppers within a few months. But now the diet-drug revolution is facing a backlash. Some of the nations largest HMOs, includi
42、ng Aetna U.S. Healthcare and Prudential Healthcare, have begun cutting back or eliminating reimbursement for both pills. Diet chains like Jenny Craig and Nutri-System are backing away from them too. Several states, meanwhile, have restricted the use of fen-phen, last week the Florida legislature ban
43、ned new prescriptions entirely and called on doctors to wean current patients from the drug within 30 days; it also put a 90-day limit on Redux prescriptions. Even New Jersey doctor Sheldon Levine, who touted Redux last year on TV and in his book The Redux Revolution, has stopped giving it to all bu
44、t his most obese patients. The reason for all the retrenchment: potentially lethal side effects. Over the summer, the FDA revealed that 82 patients had developed detects in their heart valves while on fen-phen, and that seven patients had come down with the same condition on Redux. As if that werent
45、 bad enough, physicians reported that a woman who had been taking fen-phen for less than a month died of primary pulmonary hypertension, a fatal lung condition already associated with Redux. And an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association last month confirmed earlier reports that b
46、oth fen-phen and Redux can cause brain damage in lab animals. These findings led the New England Journal to publish an editorial admonishing doctors to prescribe the drugs only for patients with severe obesity. Meanwhile, FDA asked drug makers to put more explicit warnings on fen-phen and Redux labe
47、ls. Since mid-July, prescriptions for fen-phen have dropped 56%, and those for Redux 36%, according to IMS America, a pharmaceutical-market research firm. All that really does, however, is to bring the numbers down to where they should have been all along. Manufacturers said from the start that thei
48、r pills offered a short-term therapy for the obese, not for people looking to fit into a smaller bathing suit. FDA approved Redux with just such a caveat, and when limited to these patients, the drugs may still make sense-despite the risks-because morbid obesity carries its own dangers, including heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Too often, however, Redux and fen-phen were peddled to all comers, almost like candy. The current backlash, says Levine, is a “roller coaster t
