Throughout the history of the arts,the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter what objects they select,artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change—to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape(风景)is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie,one of the new American realists,continued this practice,Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature,Ledge pains what he actually sees. In his paintings,there is no particular change in motion,and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术)to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides,all art begs the age-old question:What is real?Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects,the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes,and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up. understanding reality is a necessary struggle for Artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present,Eastern or Western,the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces of art,and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
71. The underlined word “poetry” most probably means______________.
A. an object for artistic creation B. a collection of poems
C. an unusual quality D. a natural scene
72. Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because______________.
A. they are close in style to works in ancient times
B. they look like works by 19th-cenary painters
C. they draw attention to common things in life
D. they depend heavily on color photography
73. What is the author’s opinion of artistic really?______________.
A. It will not be found in future works of art. B. It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C. It is expressed in a fixed artistic form. D. It is lacking in modern works of art.
74. What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph?
A. They express people’s curiosity about the past.
B. They make people interested in everyday experience.
C. They are considered important for variety in form.
D. They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
75. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. History of the arts. B. Basic questions of the arts.
C. New developments in the arts. D. Use of modern technology in the arts.

Researchers Look Behind the Tears to Study Crying
Many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration(就职演说)last week in Washington.Watching the huge crowds,we saw laughter,cheers,hugs---but also many tears.
It made us wonder, why do people cry? Surely tears must be good for us—away to calm the mind and cleanse the body.Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse.
Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject.They examined detailed descriptions of crying experiences.Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life,not in a laboratory.
The team analyzed information from the International Study on Adult Crying.As part of that study,three thousand people in different countries,mostly college students,wrote about recent crying experiences.They noted causes,surroundings and any people involved in the event.They also reported how they felt after they cried.
Professor Roaenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equal.Crying does not always make a person feel better,he says.About ten percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried.
But a third felt better after crying.And a majority reported the experience as helpful.
The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around.People who reached out for emotional support at the time---and received it---reported better results from the crying experience.
But Professor Rottenberg says those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful.
Research has shown that women cry more often and more intensely than men.But it may not have better effect,says the psychologist.The new findings,he says,did not show that a person’s sex was an advantage of beneficial crying.In other words,just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a“good”cry.
The paper entitled “Is Crying Beneficial?”appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychological Science And there is more to learn.Jonathan Rottenberg says the science of crying is still in its infancy.
Why did the author mention the presidential inauguration in Washington in the first paragraph?
A.Because he was impressed by the laughter, cheers,hugs and tears.
B.Because he wanted to introduce the topic about crying.
C.Because he wanted to show people’s dissatisfaction with the result.
D.Because it was the historic moment that many people cried
How did the researchers carry out the research?
A.They studied crying experiences not only in everyday life but also in labs.
B.They collected the crying experiences of the students at the colleges.
C.They studied the crying experiences of grown-ups from various countries.
D.They noted their own crying experiences and compared with others.
We can learn from the passage that .
A.it may be better to cry alone than with others around
B.some support from others may make crying helpful
C.women who cry more often may have better effects than men
D.the effects will be better if you feel shy while crying
The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means .
A.in the early stage B.in a secret state
C.in the first place D.in good condition

D
Every profession,every art,and every science has its technical vocabulary. Its function is partly to name things or processes which can not be described in ordinary English.Such special terms are necessary in technical discussion of any kind.Being universally understood by the specialists of the particular science or art,these terms have the exactness of a mathematical formula(公式).Besides,they save time, for it is much more convenient to name a process than to describe it.
Different occupations,however,differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies.In trades and handicrafts,and other professions,like farming and fishery,that have occupied great numbers of men in the past,the technical vocabulary is very old.It consists largely of native words, or borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fibre of our language.As a consequence, though highly technical in many particulars,these vocabularies are more familiar in sound;and more generally understood,than most other technicalities.
Yet every profession still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain extremely unfamiliar, even to educated speech.And the amount has been much increased in the last fifty years.New terms are invented with the greatest freedom,and abandoned unconcernedly when they have served their turn.Most of the new inventions of words and expressions are restricted to special discussions, and seldom get into general conversation.
Yet no profession is,nowadays,as all professions once were,a closed association.Specialists in different fields share ideas and associate freely with each other. Furthermore, what is called “popular science” familiarizes everybody with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote lab, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it—as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wordless telegraph. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
67.Technical terms are created so .
A.specialists may communicate more easily
B.people may enjoy varieties of occupations
C.people may save time in everyday discussions
D.specialists may well accept mathematical formulas
68.The writer lists wireless telegraph as an example to show special words .
A.should represent popular science
B.may become part of common speech
C.should be restricted to scientific fields
D.may be considered great inventions of man
69.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Nonteehnical words may be replaced.
B.Media helps to popularize special terms.
C.Various professionals exchange their terms.
D.Educated people know most technical terms.

I get off the bus and walk a few blocks. I stop when I get to a garage-like place and walk to the metal door with brown paint. I turn the knob(把手)and walk in. A thousand eyes look at me as I take my place at the end of the long line. When I finally get up to the window, I hand the officer my ID. “I’m here to visit Mr C. Yes, I’m his daughter.”
I learn that line by heart. The officer hands me a piece of paper with my name as the visitor and my father’s as the prisoner. It tells me which floor to go to. As I get on the elevator, a rush of excitement runs through me. Then I go to the eighth floor, look around and see the faces I see here every Sunday and Thursday.
There he is. I stand on tiptoe(脚尖)to get a better view since I can hardly see him. He doesn’t look like my father. He’s got a beard now and he looks a lot weaker. He’s the dad that I see through a window. My dad who is separated from the world. The only place he now knows is his room in the prison. When I look deep into his eyes, I see emptiness and pain.
It’s difficult to hear him through the thick glass and over everyone else who is trying to talk. We try to carry on a normal conversation about simple things including my day and what I’m doing in school, but we mostly talk about how we can’t wait until he gets out. After an hour my time is up. We say our good-byes and love-yous.
I get on the bus to go home. My favorite place is where my father is—prison. I know, how can prison be anyone’s favorite place? But it is because my father is there. It’ll no longer be my favorite place once he gets out, though—home will be.
