  • 第10题:

    问答题
    Directions:In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve their appearance. Others were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous, or even deadly!  Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky smooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white chalk on their faces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies.  Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poison for our bodies.  Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Belladonna is a very poisonous plant. The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman’s pupils would become very large. People thought this made her more beautiful. Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna means “beautiful woman.”  When Elizabeth I was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge made with mercury. They were also using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen’s hair. Over time, the dye made people’s hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs.  Summary:  Although people have used cosmetics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite  1 to people. For example, long ago in Italian  2 , people thought women with big pupils were beautiful. Therefore, in the  3 of beauty, women began to put  4 of belladonna in their eyes to make their pupils larger. Today we know belladonna is poisonous, and it can affect the  5 in the body.

    正确答案: 1.dangerous. 文章第一段最后一句提到 But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous,因而可以得知该题答案是dangerous。
    2.renaissance. 第四段提到意大利文艺复兴时期,女性喜欢大眼睛,因此答案是renaissance,表示“文艺复兴”时期。
    3.name. in the name 在……的名义下。in the name of beauty在美的名义下。
    4.drops. 文章第四段第一行指出women put drops of belladonna in their eye,摘要中应填写drops。
    5.nerves. 文章第四段第二句说明the poison in the(belladonna)plant affects the nerves in the body,因此答案是nerves,说明对人体的神经系统有害。

    问答题
    Practice 5  Expressionism was more than a style in painting. It could be found in theatre and cinema, literature and architecture. It was a sharing of ideas and experiences across all these media. The life stories of the Expressionist artists show just how much they had in common. Many began by studying applied art, such as furniture design, often to please their parents. Although they later made more personal art, they continued to make use of those technical skills. Both art critics and the public received this new movement with derision and outrage. Expressionist artists were trying to shock by challenging the traditional, conservative views held by many people. Gradually, however, it became accepted and even admired.  All the Expressionists were affected by World War I (1914-18). Some fled from Germany and spent the war years in exile. Some never returned to their homeland. Most served in the war and some were killed. At first some of them hoped a war would change society for the better but they were soon disillusioned when they saw the destruction and suffering that it caused. In the years after the war, many Expressionist artist revealed the horrors they experienced in their work.

    表现主义的影响不仅仅局限于美术界,其创作理念在戏剧、电影、文学以及建筑领域中都有所体现。表现主义画家的生平也有着许多共同之处,比如为了讨好父母,他们大都从学习应用工艺美术起步,如家居设计等。尽管他们后来也有了自己个性化的创作,但这些实用技巧仍会在他们的作品中有所体现。因为试图通过这种新的创作方式向传统而保守的社会观念发起挑战,在出现之初,便受到艺术评论家的公然嘲笑,引起了公众的极度愤慨。不过,随着时代的变迁,它逐渐为人们所接受,甚至成为年轻人崇拜的对象。
    第一次世界大战对表现主义画家影响很大。战争期间,他们有的逃离了德国,过着流亡的生活,有些从此就再也没能回去。他们中的大多数都参加了战争,有的在战斗中不幸牺牲。参战之初,他们对战争抱有幻想,期望它能使这个腐化的世界变得更美好,但是战争爆发后不久,这个幻想就破灭了。在亲眼目睹了无数的流血、牺牲、人们流离失所、痛苦挣扎的情景之后,这些画家的精神受到了极大的摧残,战后纷纷在作品中对当时所经历的恐惧和伤害进行了刻画。
