A decade ago,【 73】 the infrared (红外线的 ) scanning technology developed for military purpose and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley【 74】 a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine【 75】 ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers【 76】 target pest

Writing in 15

44、50, Vasari expressed an unease with Botticellis work, admitting that the artist fitted awkwardly into his evolutionary scheme of the history of art Over the next two centuries, academic art historians defamed Botticelli in favor of his fellows Florentine , Michelangelo. Even when anti-academic art h

45、istorians of the early nineteenth century rejected many of the standards of evaluation adopted by their predecessors, Botticellis work remained outside of accepted taste, pleasing neither amateur observers nor connoisseurs. (Many of his best paintings, however, remained hidden away in obscure church
