3、 lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (76) UMany high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard./U Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other.

4、vity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer f

5、inishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(77) UFrom the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be./U Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healt

Most

10、 typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestor

11、s can be provided by art. (78) UIn short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books./UIn history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that

12、 is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective (主观的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political“ artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticiz

13、ed the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that de

14、scribed people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects

15、 the Islamic belief that statues (雕像) are not holy.（分数：10.00）(1).More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because _.（分数：2.00）A.art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB.general history only focuses on politicsC.art history gives us an insight

20、s in their paintingsB.it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC.a history teacher must be quite objectiveD.artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefsBPassage 3/BBlind people can “see“ things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact m

21、ay help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously (无意识地).(79) UManufacturers (生产商) have discovered by experience that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasan

22、t, and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packaged in brown./U .These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky

23、 and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive (刺激). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated

24、 with passive defense and self-protection.(80) UExperiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect./U People exposed to bright red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exp

25、osure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are n
