35.ThehistoryofresponsestotheworkoftheartistSandroBotticelli(1444—1510)suggeststhatwidespreadappreciationbycriticsisarelativelyrecentphenomenon.Writingin1550,VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork,admittingthattheartistfittedawkwardlyintohisevolutionaryschemeofthehistoryofart.Overthenexttwocenturies,academicarthistoriansdefamedBotticelliinfavorofhisfellowsFlorentine,Michelangelo.Evenwhenanti-academicarthistoriansoftheearlynineteenthcenturyrejectedmanyofthestandardsofevaluationadoptedbytheirpredecessors,Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs.(Manyofhisbestpaintings,however,remainedhiddenawayinobscurechurchesandprivatehomes.)

TheprimaryreasonforBotticelli'sunpopularityisnotdifficulttounderstand:mostobservers,upuntilthemid-nineteenthcentury,didnotconsiderhimtobenoteworthy,becausehiswork,forthemostpart,didnotseemtotheseobserverstoexhibitthetraditionalcharacteristicsofthefifteenth-centuryFlorentineart.Forexample,Botticellirarelyemployedthetechniqueofstrictperspectiveand,unlikeMichelangelo,neverusedchiaroscuro.

AnotherreasonforBotticelli'sunpopularitymayhavebeenthathisattitudetowardthestyle.ofclassicalartwasverydifferentfromthatofhiscontemporaries.Althoughhewasthoroughlyexposedtoclassicalart,heshowedlittleinterestinborrowingfrom,theclassicalstyle.Indeed,itisparadoxicalthatapainteroflarge-scaleclassicalsubjectsadoptedastyle.thatwas.onlyslightlysimilartothatofclassicalart.

Inanycase,whenviewersbegantoexaminemorecloselytherelationshipofBotticelli'sworktothetraditionofthefifteenthcenturyHorentineart,hisreputationbegantogrow.AnalysesandassessmentsofBotticellimadebetween1850and1870bytheartistsofthePre-Raphaelitemovement,aswellasbythewriterPater(althoughhe,unfortunately,basedhisassessmentonanincorrectanalysisofBotticelli'spersonality),inspiredanewappreciationofBotticellithroughouttheEnglish-speakingworld.YetBotticelli'swork,especiallytheSistinefrescoes,didnotgenerateworldwideattentionuntilitwasfinallysubjectedtoacomprehensiveandscrupulousanalysisbyHomein1908.Homerightlydemonstratedthatthefrescoessharedimportantfeatureswithpaintingsbyotherfifteenth-centuryFlorentines—featuressuchasskillfulrepresentationofanatomicalproportions,andofthehumanfigureinmotion.However,Homearguedthat.Botticellididnottreatthesequalitiesasendsinthemselves—rather,thatheemphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievementandonethatmadethetraditionalFlorentinequalitieslesscentral.

BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart,thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli'sa-chievements.

Whichofthefollowingwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?

参考答案

1.A

2.C

3.B

4.Participationineconomy．

5.D

6.Poisonous．

7.B

8.D

9.C

10.A

11.B

12.C

13.A

14.A

15.B

16.gradesgrades解析：此句意为“…他指出在主要大学里关控制评分标准及恢复不及格…的努力。”显然，此空处应填“分数”。

17.thethe解析：此处缺冠词，在年轻人之间，用the表示特指。所以此处应填“the”。

18.stillstill解析：本句意为“但是空气污染，尽管它…是最危险的，但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染方式之一。”显然，可知此空应填“仍然”。

19.gogo解析：gotoone'sheads的意思是“展现、表现”，俗语。用在文中表示“把…写在脸上”，生怕别人不知道的显摆。故答案为go。

20.knowledgeknowledge解析：前面讲商家正确的分析市场的供需信息，知道是什么因素影响顾客的购买欲望。这就是他们利用的信息知识。故答案为knowledge。

21.someonesomeone解析：由本文的第一句话“‘Down-to-earth’meanssomeoneorsomethingthatishonest．realisticandeasytodealwith．”可知“Down-to-earth”指的是诚实，现实、平易近人的那些人。这里的someone和后面是相对应的。故答案为someone。

22.werewere解析：考查被动语态的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此处应填“were”。

23.accordingaccording解析：accordingto意为“根据”，为固定短语，本句句意为“根据对…的严格调查，…。”

24.rewardreward解析：通篇文章均是在讲报酬与创造性的关系，此句意为“如果孩子们知道他们在为…工作，…。”显然，此空处应填“报酬”。

25.butbut解析：此句意为“30岁的人表现出非常不同的握笔方式，…超过40岁的人都统一用三个手指握笔。”显然，此空处表转折。

26.B解析：由第一段的“Insteadofbeseechingusalltogetvaccinated，they’renowurgingmosthealthypeoplebetweentheagesof2and64,notto．”可以判断出美国之呼吁2至64岁的健康人不接种流感疫苗，而不是所有的美国人，因此答案A是错误的。从第二段最后一句话可以看出疫苗生产厂家无法临时增加疫苗生产不是由于他们不愿意，而是由于受精鸡蛋的生产已经预先计划好，无法提供更多的受精鸡蛋，由此可见答案C是错误的。从第三段第三行“Fluvaccinesareharderthanmosttoproducethisway”可以判断出答案D是错误的，因为流感疫苗比别的疫苗更难用细菌培育的方式生产。而由第三段第2-3行“Themainchallengeistoshiftproductionfromeggsintocellcultures——amediumalreadyusedtomakemostothervaccines．”以及上一句可见，改造疫苗生产工艺的关键在于革新病毒培育技术。因此正确答案为B。

27.C解析：由C中的第一段第一句话“Chicago，thesecondlargestcityinpopulationintheUnitedStates，”可知答案为C。

28.A解析：从文章最后一句话“BecauseofHome’semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart，thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli’sachievements．”可以看出，作者认为波提切利的作品在二十一世纪会被重新的认识，人们会重新认识他作品的成就。故应选A。

29.B解析：由第四段第二句“Thegovernmentestimatesthat95millionpeoplestillqualifyforshotsunderthevoluntaryrestrictionsannouncedlastweek．”中可以知道大约有九千五百万人有资格注射疫苗。根据第四段第三句：“That’snearlytwicethenumberofdosesthatclinicswillhaveonhand，butonly60millionAmericansseekoutshotsin
