A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most 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 ancestors can be provided by art. In 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.

In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective( 主观的 ): it reflects(反映) 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 criticized the Spanish government for its abuse of power over people

In the same way, art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible(圣经). Although most people couldn't read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls.

60. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because__________.

A. art history shows us nothing but the political values

B. general history only focuses on politics

C. art history gives us an insight ( 洞察力 ) into the essential qualities of a time and a place

D. general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology

61. Art is subjective in that__________.

A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it

B. it only reflects people's anger or sadness about social problems

C. it can easily arouse people's anger about the government

D. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society

62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. In history books subjective opinions of people are entirely presented.

B. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808.

C. Religious art was once almost the only type of art that existed in Europe.

D. For centuries in Europe, painters could paint only on walls of churches.

63. The passage mainly discusses__________.

A. the development of art history

B. the difference between general history and art history

C. what we can learn from art

D. the influence of artists on art history

A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. 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 ancestors ― or of people very different from our own ― can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.

In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Franciso Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros ― as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez ― showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.

In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. Four hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical 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 the Islamic（伊斯兰教的）belief that statues are unholy（不神圣的；亵渎的）.

1.Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage?

A.Art history concentrates on religious beliefs, emotions and psychology only.

B.Art can provide information about the everyday activities of ancient people.

C.Information and facts about politics are given objectively in history.

2.History books are objective because _____.

A.personal and emotional opinions are expressed through it

3.The two pictures The Third of May, 1808 and Guernica mentioned in paragraph 2 show that _____.

A.art is subjective

B.artists are very similar even over a hundred years

C.art can reflect political life of a country

D.history books present objective information

The unquestioned role of a student is to learn as much as possible through whatever means it takes to acquire knowledge. Teachers and professors are human beings and are therefore not perfect. No one knows the correct answer to every question even when you limit the questions to a certain field of study. Having certain skepticism(质疑) about what they are being taught can help students to make the teachers even better by correcting mistakes and misinformation.

Students certainly have a huge role in their own abilities to learn. Teachers should act more as guides along the way rather than try to force each student to learn. The best teachers in the world cannot teach an unmotivated student. If the teacher, for whatever reason, cannot motivate the student, then the student must somehow find a way to motivate himself or herself.

One method of doing this is by becoming an active rather than a passive student. The more the student involves himself or herself in the act of studying, the better he or she can learn. One of the best ways to become more active is simply to ask the teacher or professor questions. Students who passively sit in a classroom and take everything that the teacher says for granted are not fully using their mental capacities to learn.

Better education comes from teachers who are able to get their students to think about a subject rather than merely absorb a certain amount of. information. Having a healthy skepticism can improve a student's ability to both think and absorb knowledge in a learning situation.

Teachers are human beings and no one is one hundred percent right all of the time, even in a classroom situation. Perhaps a teacher would simply unconsciously say the wrong word or pass on some misinformation that the teacher truly believed was correct. A student's question could prevent an entire classroom from becoming confused or misinformed.

There is of course a fine balance between a student having a healthy skepticism and just being a downright skeptic. But with the proper attitude toward learning and a little skepticism, both the students and teachers can improve upon the learning process and maximize learning efficiency.

1.Which of the following is the author's main argument?

A. Passive learning results from passive teaching in class.

B. A student's ability plays a huge role in the learning process.

C. A healthy skepticism fully depends on students' motivation and ability.

D. A healthy skepticism and proper attitude contribute to effective learning.

2.Being passive learners, the students ________.

A. use little of their mental ability while studying

B. seldom involve themselves completely in learning

C. can hardly tell the right from the wrong in class

D. simply ask their teachers questions without thinking

3.According to the passage, a good teacher should ________.

A. help the unmotivated students patiently

B. instruct students in the learning process

C. make no mistakes in the teaching process

D. answer all the questions raised by students

4.The author will most probably agree that ________.

A. keeping skepticism to a certain degree is important

B. having a good attitude can ensure the learning process

C. taking everything for granted makes a student learn nothing

D. a teacher's ability can be improved by encouraging doubts
