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 activities of our ancestorsor of people very different from our owncan be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place. And 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 Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Truth 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 Picassos Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueirosas well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinezdepicted these Mexican artists deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only types of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people could not read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on the 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 belief that statues are unholy.72. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. The way art expresses is the same all over the world.B. Art history supplies us with knowledge about everyday activities of people in the past.C. Most typical history courses dont cover peoples spirits.D. Art is subjective in that it will find a ready echo in our hearts.73. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Unlike Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso and several Mexican artists expressed their political opinions in their paintings.B. History books often show the editors political view.C. Religious art remained in Europe for centuries the only type of art because most people regarded the Bible as the Holy Book.D. Picasso was something of a political artist.74. The passage is mainly discussing _. A. the difference between general history and art historyB. the making of art historyC. what we can learn from art historyD. the influence of artists on art history75. It may be concluded from this passage that _.A. Islamic artists have had to create architectural decoration with pictures of flowers or geometric (几何的) formsB. history teachers are more objective than artistsC. it is more difficult to study art history than general historyD. people and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings in order to popularize the Bible.参考答案 7275 ADCA重庆市万州二中高三上期中期考试三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。AO.

What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who”invented”what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the”why” and ”how” questions. According to Mclean,”When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to Mew York City.The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights ,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the winshield,she found hersefe wondering why there couldnt be a buolt-in devic for cleaing the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would contral an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper. Today we benefit from countless inventions and
