Portraits as Art
According to a dictionary, portraiture is “a representation (描绘) of a person, especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.” However, this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture. Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness. These concepts of identity involve social rank, gender, age, profession, character of the subject, etc. It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity. Therefore, portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects. Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice. The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles. Therefore, portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social, psychological, and artistic practices and expectations.
Since portraits are different from other art categories, they are worthy of separate study. During their production, portraits require the presence of a specific person, or an image of the individual. In many instances, the production of portraiture has required sittings, which result in interaction between the subject(s) and the artist throughout the creation of the work. In certain instances, portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects. If the sitter can’t sit in the studio regularly, portraitists could use his or her photographs. InEurope, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head. Theoretically, portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting, but this rarely occurred according to documented records. Nonetheless, whether the work is based on model sittings, copying a photograph, or using memory, the process of painting a portrait is linked with the model’s attendance.
Furthermore, portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance, or likeness. As such, the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic
innovation. Based on Renaissance art theory, portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art. Michelangelo’s well-known protest against portraits is only one example. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the attitude to portraiture was critical. Even so, artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections. Picasso, for example, became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画) early in his career, but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.
4. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.
B. Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.
C. Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.
D. Portrait art shouldn’t be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.
5. Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms.
B. Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation between artists.
C. Portraits show models in a more accurate way than other art forms.
D. Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists.
6. According to paragraph 2, during portraits’ production, artists __________.
A. based their work on the subjects’ attendance
B. preferred models’ photographs to their presence
C. were more willing to use impressions or memories
D. reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitter’s head
7. Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he __________.
A. altered the way other artists felt about portrait art
B. created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait art
C. depended on portrait art to establish a higher reputation
D. had fewer theoretical objections to portraitures than others
C
Every day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force, searching wildly for the perfect gift.Aside from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. This frequent experience of gift-giving cancause uncertain
feelings in gift-givers. Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds, while many worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended recipients (接受者).
Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and psychological functions. Economists, however, offer a less favorable view. According to Waldfogel, gift-giving represents an objective wasteof resources. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own, or at least not spend as much money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as‘‘the deadweight loss of Christmas”).
What is surprising is that gift-givers have much experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift. In the present research, we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem — gift-givers link how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift. Though it seems natural to gift-givers, such an assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we propose that gift-recipients will be less likely to base their feelings of appreciation on the value of a gift than givers assume.
Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients’ feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that more expensive gifts communicate a stronger sense ofthoughtfulness and consideration. According to Camerer and others, gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual (习俗), by which gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes towards the recipient and their willingness to invest resources in a futurerelationship. In this sense, gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a “stronger signal”. As for gift-recipients, they may not interpret smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.
The idea of gift-givers and gift-recipients being unable to account for the other party’s viewpoint seems confusing because people slip in and out of these roles every day. Yet, despite the experience as both givers and receivers, people often struggle to apply information gained from one role in another. In theoretical terms, people fail to use information about their own preferences and experiences to produce more efficient outcomes in their exchange relations. In practical terms, people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts, but somehow never learn to estimate their gift expense according to personal insight.
8. The author uses “the deadweight loss of Christmas” in Paragraph 2 to express ________.
A. gift-givers don’t spend much money during holidays
B. gift-givers don’t ask recipients what gifts they prefer
C. gift-givers buy improper and expensive gifts
D. gift-givers have difficulty in choosing gifts
9. According to the passage, people buy gifts to ________.
A. receive gifts in return
B. enjoy the feeling of shopping
C. help recipients to save money
D. better relationships with recipients
10. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People’s high living standards require expensive gifts.
B. Gift-givers buy gifts based on their experiences as recipients.
C. Anthropologists think gift-giving meets different human needs.
D. Recipients judge the depth of friendship according to the gift price.
11. Why did the author write this article?
A. To criticize people’s gift-buying habits.
B. To analyze people’s gift-giving behaviors.
C. To offer advice on how to improve relationships.
D. To remind people not to overlook others’ preferences.

California's August Complex Fire tore through more than 1,600 square miles of forest last summer,burning nearly every tree in its path. It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.
A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene（干预）if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.
To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees （针叶树）produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of
seeds after a fire.
The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.
12. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?
A. Lack of wood supplies.
B. Where to plant new trees best.
C. How to save the burned trees.
D. Loss of trees and wild animals.
13. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. The function of the tool.
B. The disadvantages of the tool.
C. The improvement of the tool.
D. The development of the tool.
14. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?
A. The study plots.
B. The data.
C. Stewart and his colleagues.
D. The seeds.
15. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?
A. Skeptical.
B. Ambiguous.
C. Tolerant.
D. Optimistic.
