36、ay.D. Visitors can make parking reservations on weekdays.BGrant Woods American Gothic is a painting thats puzzled generations whove stopped to wonder at the real meaning behind it. We all know it: a serious-looking couple in front of their gothic-arched wooden housein a style called Carpenters Gothi

37、c, for which the painting is named.It was painted in 1930, when US artists were inspired to paint realist scenes of rural America during the Depression in a style that became known as Regionalism. The couple are identified either as a farmer and his wife, or as a daughter with her unsmiling and over

38、-protective father. Woods sister, Nan, who posed for the picture, always insisted the two were father and daughter, perhaps finding the age gap too improper. The relationship has always remained interestingly conflicting.Unlike her elder companions fixed stare, the woman glances off to the side. Her

39、 expression is actually difficult to determine. She looks sorrowful, or perhaps uncomfortable, though her straitlaced primness (拘谨保守的古板) is weakened by an escaping coil of hair at the back of her neck. As if holding guard against those anticipated intruders (侵入者)probably, protecting his daughter-wif

40、es virtue, though she doesnt seem particularly happy about itthe man holds a pitchfork in a soldier-like fashion. And that is what lends the work its uneasy (不协调的) comedy. Everything about it is an artful set-up.First of all, Nan never actually posed with the man in the picture, nor are they in any

41、way related. Wood had spotted the house during a drive to the town of Eldon in Iowa. It immediately gave him an idea. “That idea was to find two people who, by their straitlaced characters, would be suitable for such a home,” he later explained. The couple were actually painted separately, and neith

42、er sitter was painted in front of the house. The farmer, as you might have already guessed, isnt actually a farmer, but a certain Dr Bryon McKeeby, a wealthy dentist from Cedar Rapids, where Wood lived with his mother and sister. The couples clothing too has been carefully handpicked by the artist.I

43、n addition, both their faces, Nans in particular, have been thinned and lengthened, as has the famous gothic window and roof. And, if you look carefully, you might even detect something funereal about the scene, beyond the tombstone features of the couple. Its suggested by the womans primly buttoned

44、 black dress, and in the mans smart black overcoat. Some thought the work mercilessly laughed at the lifestyle in the Midwest. Meanwhile, some critics praised the painting as a cutting small-town satire (讽刺). Still others saw the painting as honoring the Midwest and its strong values.Regarding the p

45、aintings comic tone, Wood himself gave contradictory accounts. “There is satire in it,” he once said, “but only as there is satire in any realistic statement.” Perhaps it is this ambiguity that has made the painting the most symbolic in US history. 58. What is uncertain about American Gothic?A. The

46、identity of the models. B. The characters relationship.C. How the painting got its name. D. Where the background house was.59. What indicates the womans straitlaced primness?A. Her glancing off to the side.B. Her carefully buttoned black dress.C. The determination in her expression.D. The escaping c

47、oil of hair at the back of her neck.60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Ambiguity is an essential part of any good painting.B. It is beyond doubt that the painting has a comic tone.C. The statement that Wood himself gave clarifies nothing.D. American Gothic is the most controversial

48、in US history.CLast year Congress issued a moral call to action when it ordered the National Institutes of Health to reevaluate its ethical oversight (伦理上的疏忽) of government-funded primate (灵长类) research. Although the scientific community widely sees nonhuman primates as essential for advances in bio

49、medicine (they have caused major gains in the fights against AIDS and neurological diseases such as Parkinsons, for example), researchers agree more can be done to treat the animals more humanely and conduct research less wastefully. To that end, the NIH gathered famous scientists last September to

50、discuss the future of primate-based researchand they agreed that data sharing is the way forward.Researchers could reduce experiments on nonhuman primates by studying data that have already been collected to answer new questions, says David OConnor, a pathologist at the University of WisconsinMadiso

51、n. OConnor is walking the walk: his laboratory studies the Zika virus in primates, and he immediately posts all the results online. The goal is to figure out ways to fight Zika as quickly as possible without placing an undue burden on research primates. The Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Sc

52、ience, which uses rhesus macaques, small South Asian monkeys, to study the molecular basis of brain development, also makes all results public. OConnor says this practice should be more widespread so that “researchers who are using this scarce but vital resource can learn as much as possible from as

53、 few animals as necessary.” Still, he is skeptical that data sharing will catch on because it would require a change in “normative behavior”sciences strong culture of secrecy, in which data are kept under wraps until they are published in a peer-reviewed journal.One step toward full transparency is

54、to follow the lead of human clinical trials, says Christine Grady, a bioethicist at the NIH. U.S. law requires most clinical trials to register online and make their results public, even if a study fails or is inconclusive. This ensures that other researchers can learn from a trial regardless of its

55、 resultsa move that could also safeguard primates against being used for the same thing twice. Nancy Haigwood, director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center, also says data sharing is “the way of the future.” Her center hosts 4,800 primates to study a variety of human diseases. She current

56、ly contributes results from her center to OConnors Web site. “I dont see a drawback,” she says. “We have to share data more quickly.”61. What does Congress think of the primate research?A. It has done a great deal of good to advances in biomedicine.B. It is a huge waste of money to conduct research on primates.C. Primate-based research must be stopped for mora
