Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand-he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight, which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices show that these parts of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Today's artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint an infected leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain part of the world, each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something-all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.61. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Every artist wants to say something to the public.B. Every artist wants to teach the public.C. Every artist wants people to learn good character from him.D. Every artist wants to say something new.62. Why is it difficult to explain the purpose of an artist's work?A. Because the artist says something too new to understand.B. Because the artist uses shapes and colors to teach you something.C. Because the artist uses difficult words to explain his work.D. Because the artist wants to draw something mysterious.63. The contribution of the artist is that his work can help us _____.A. feel the happiness that he got from the workB. notice the shapes and colorsC. know some of his experienceD. all of the above64. Most artists take their shapes and colors from _____.A. nothing in particularB. the work of other artistsC. the parts of the world that are worth looking atD. a lake in moonlight65. The author mentions two painters in the last paragraph in order to tell us _____.A. each painter is trying to teach us somethingB. the first painter is realisticC. the second painter is romanticD. their painting skills are differentQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the same passage or dialog."Down-to-earth" means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals (相等的人). Down-to-earth persons may be important members of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads. They do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to "down-to-earth." The expression is "both feet on the ground." Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called "common sense." The opposite kind of person is one who has his "head in the clouds."The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. However, when we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic (现实的), and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.66. In the passage, "nose in the air" refers to people who are ________.A. realisticB. honestC. proudD. modest67. From the passage, we can learn that the author likes those who ______________.A. stand on their own feetB. have their noses in the airC. have their heads in the cloudsD. have both feet on the ground68. People who "have their nose in the air" believe ____________.A. their importance is in their headB. their society is importantC. their equals are importantD. their worth is greater than others'69. A similar expression to "having both feet on the ground" is __________.B. having one's head in the cloudsC. putting one's nose in the airD. calling common sense70. What can we know about a person who stands on solid ground?A. They are open.B. They are easy to deal with.C. They are down-to-earth.D. They are honest.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.Many teachers like to teach all the new words and structures in the text before reading begins. I am not going to say that new language should never be taught this way, but I have often thought that this is the dullest part of the lesson, and that the teaching would have been more effective if it had taken place actually during the process of reading.It is difficult to make hard-and-fast rules, but you will frequently find that a new structure hardly needs explaining if it is taken in context; whether you want to teach it for active use is a matter beyond the scope of this book. For our purposes, if it can be understood without specific teaching, then it is not a barrier to the reader and to spend time on it would be pointless.The same is true of vocabulary. You may feel the need to teach a few key words before the students begin to read, but other new words may be so unimportant that you do not want to draw attention to them, while others you will want to use for practicing the skill of inferring meaning from context. If your list of key words to be taught is long, this is a warning that the text is too difficult.Of course we are here facing the conflict between learning to read and learning the language. Your attitude will be determined partly by the kind of texts you use; if they are specifically intended to present new language, you cannot just ignore it. But the students have to learn to read as well; use supplementary texts for this if you can, but at least use the language teaching texts in such a way that they provide genuine reading tasks i.e. that students actually get practice in interpreting them. This will involve not teaching all the new language beforehand; helping the students to use the context as a guide to interpreting some of the new language; and practicing the new items after reading rather than before, in at least some cases.Some of the problems will be alleviated by dealing with the text in short sections. The new language from a single section will be more manageable than the new language from the whole text, so the dull preparatory work will be split up into short, more acceptable bits.71. As for teaching a text, which of the following would be the LAST to be suggested?A. To clear up all the language difficulties before reading starts.B. To divide the text into short sections.C. To encourage the students to learn the new language in context.D. To practice the new language after reading if necessary.________.A. should use supplementary texts to teach new languageB. should not forget to teach reading while presenting new languageC. should teach and practice new language before readingD. can put reading practice aside for the time being73. What does "hard-and-fast" (Line 1, Para. 2) mean?A. alternativeB. specificC. complicatedD. fixed and unchangeable74. In the first sentence of the last paragraph "alleviated" means _________.A. made more concreteB. made more specificC. paid more attentionD. made easier75. The passage is mainly about _________.A. reading skillsB. teaching reading skillsC. dealing with new language itemsD. teaching foreign languagesQuestions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Florida International University has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.You call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, created electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is the director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser printer.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mister Shostak said the Florida International University museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have anelectronic museum.76.
