25、ting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century

26、 society, through van Eycks heavy use of symbolism- while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties. The Starry Night Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a sm

27、all hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Remy-De-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased(购买) the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Goghs

28、 most famous works. The Harvesters The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp commi

29、ssioned(委托绘制) this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919. Guernica Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title Guernica refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi p

30、lanes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 51. Which of the following paintings was pr

B At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new employer. The surrounding green fields w

33、ere so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private ( 列 兵 ) fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada.

34、 Two months later he was on his way. When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot, four inch frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “Youre a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse expla

35、ined that he had a wife and seven kids. “Moneys tight. Youll get room and board. Youll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job. From the be

36、ginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the kind-hearted S

37、tanley never responded. Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmers horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants

38、. Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months at his farmhand. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a s

39、hocking headline, “Millionaire jockey, Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.” 54. Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because . A. he wanted to escape from war-torn France B. he wanted to serve in the Canadian army C.

40、 he couldnt find a job in England D. he loved working as a farmhand 55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old. B. On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week. C. The Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanle

41、y. D. Stanley read about the job offer in a newspaper. 56. What can we infer from the passage? A. When Stanley first met his employer, he tried to impress him but failed. B. Stanley had never worked on a farm, so he made a lot of mistakes. C. Stanleys weekly salary was not enough for him to live on.

42、 D. Stanley left the farm by train, without telling anyone why he did so. 57. Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley in the magazine? A. He didnt know Stanley had been a British soldier. B. He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man. C. He didnt know his father paid Stanle

43、y so little money. D. He didnt expect Stanley to become such a success. C After 400 years, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is still widely celebrated as a great crafter of language and playwright( 剧 作 家 ). But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly n

44、ot the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre. While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered Chinas greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions. Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and worked as

45、a government official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeares large body of plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion-widely considered to be his masterpieces.

46、In the latter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences. Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal(封建的) system of his time. It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream. Tang lived towards the end of th

47、e Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and, similarly to Shakespeare, his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime. As in Shakespeares England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance

48、 groups becoming common. Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces. However, unlike in Shakespeares England, there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events. During this time

49、, the way in which play-texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also changed. Initially, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed( 发 行 ) in book form, to be read like novels. They were seldom, if ever, performed. However, from the mid-16th century, kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China
