Inanycase,whenviewersbegantoexaminemorecloselytherelationshipofBotticelli'sworktothetraditionofthefifteenthcenturyFlorentineart,hisreputationbegantogrow.AnalysesandassessmentsofBotticellimadebetween1850and1870bytheartistsofthePre-Raphaelitemovement,aswellasbythewriterPater(althoughhe.unfortunately,basedhisassessmentonanincorrectanalysisofBotticelli'spersonality),inspiredanewappreciationofBotticellithroughouttheEnglish-speakingworld.YetBotticelli'swork,especiallytheSistinefrescoes.didnotgenerateworldwideattentionuntilitwasfinallysubjectedto4comprehensiveandscrupulousanalysisbyHomein1908.Homerightlydemonstratedthatthefrescoessharedimportantfeatureswithpaintingsbyotherfifteenth-centuryFlorentines—featuressuchasskillfulrepresentationofanatomicalproportions,andofthehumanfigureinmotion.However,HomearguedthatBotticellididnottreatthesequalitiesasendsinthemselves—rather.thatheemphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievementandonethatmadethetraditionalFlorentinequalities1esscentral.BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart,thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli'sachievements.

15.highlysubjectiveway

16.killingkilling解析：本句意为“通过无控制地使用杀虫剂，人类已经污染了土地，…野生动物。”显然，此空处应填“杀害”，但不能填kill，因为英语中无连词时不可能有两个谓语，故应填killing，killingthewildlife是现在分词做伴随状语。

17.forfor解析：解析见上题。desire后面用介词for。故答案为for，表示“…的欲望”。

18.dividedivide解析：根据上下文语境，这里是“分为”，divide…upinto意为“把…划分为”。所以此处应填动词“divide”。

19.suchsuch解析：“such…as”用来举例子。所以此处应填“such”。

20.withoutwithout解析：此处意为年轻人更喜欢没有重大责任的简单工作。所以此处应填“without”。

21.ratherrather解析：此空所在句意为“用四个手指握笔而不是三个。”ratherthan表示“而不是”。

22.thoughthough解析：参见47题解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95％的部件仍可以使用。”可知，此空处应填“尽管，即使”，即eventhough。

23.withwith解析：endupwith意为“以…结束，以…告终”，为固定短语。

24.toto解析：revertto意为“重想，重提”，此句意为“如果你经常提到‘我们以前已经试着这样做了，但是不管用’就会很快地挫伤这种好问的头脑”。

25.diddid解析：据38题解析，由于while意为
