陜西統(tǒng)招專升本英語閱讀理解模擬練習(xí)(11.22)

　　閱讀理解題是陜西專升本英語考試中必考題，閱讀理解要想得高分就必須做到多讀多練，今天好學(xué)校小編給大家分享一篇閱讀理解練習(xí)題，考生們可以做一做。

　　A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than 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 (主觀的): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse(濫用) of power over people.

　　In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on 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(雕像) are not holy.

　　參考答案及解析：

　　1、【參考答案】C

　　[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題

　　【精析】本題可參見文章第一段的第五句話“In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books”,即從藝術(shù)中能夠更全面深刻地理解歷史文化。選項(xiàng)C中insight與文中的understanding同義，所以選C。

　　2、【參考答案】A

　　[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題

　　【精析】問題是“藝術(shù)是主觀的，原因在于_______?！蔽恼碌诙蔚诙湓捥岬剑?“Art，on the other hand，is subjective：it reflects emotions and opinions.”從這句話中可以看出藝術(shù)是情感和觀點(diǎn)的反映。所以選A。

　　3、【參考答案】C

　　[考點(diǎn)]事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題

　　【精析】 從文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句話:“By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images.”能夠看出，中東的藝術(shù)中沒有人和動(dòng)物的形象。此題的關(guān)鍵是找關(guān)鍵詞：the Middle East，找到后就能很快地確定答案。所以選C。

　　4、【參考答案】B

　　[考點(diǎn)]主旨大意題

　　【精析】文章共分三段。第一段是概括段落，第二段和第三段采用對(duì)比的寫作方法，介紹了通過歷史課程和通過藝術(shù)了解歷史文化的不同之處。因此，文章主要講了一般歷史和藝術(shù)歷史的區(qū)別。所以選B。

　　5、【參考答案】C

　　[考點(diǎn)]推理判斷題

　　【精析】 通過對(duì)藝術(shù)和歷史的對(duì)比分析，可以得出結(jié)論：既然歷史本身是客觀的，那么,歷史老師也應(yīng)該是保持客觀的。所以選C。
