21、Mention the terms Italian culture and Renaissance art and one is immediately reminded of the mysterious smile of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
The Renaissance had a deep effect on the development of European culture. Having its beginnings in Italy, by the 16th century, it had spread to the rest of Europe. Its influence was felt in different fields such as philosophy, literature, religion, science, politics, and, of course, art. The scholars of the Renaissance period applied the humanistic method to every field of study, and wanted to have human emotion and realism in art.
Renaissance scholars studied the ancient Latin and Greek texts, searching the libraries of Europe for works of ancient times that had become obscure, in their hunt for reforming and perfecting their worldly knowledge. However, that does not mean that they refused religion. In fact, many of the greatest works of the Renaissance period were devoted to it, with the church supporting a lot of the works of Renaissance art. However, there were slight changes in the manner in which the scholars began to treat religion, which affected the cultural life of society, which in turn influenced the artists of that period and therefore was reflected in their art.
In Raphael’s The School of Athens, for example, some well-known people were described as classical scholars with Leonardo da Vinci given as much importance as Plato in his time. Giotto di Bondone, 1266-1337, a Florentine, who is regarded as the greatest Italian painter just earlier than the Renaissance period, is thought to be the first artist who treated a painting as a window into space.
However, it was only after the writings of Filippo Brunelleschi, 1377-1446, who is considered the first great builder of the Italian Renaissance, that perspective (透视法) was formally accepted as an artistic technique.
【1】What makes Italy stand out in a way in world history?
A．Its artists during the Renaissance were numerous.
B．It was the center of the European countries.
C．It had many famous inventors in different fields.
D．It was home to the Renaissance.
【2】The underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A．meaningless and hard to recognize
B．clear and meaningful to guiding people
C．unclear and difficult to understand or see
D．easy to understand but having little meaning
【3】When was perspective officially accepted during the Renaissance?
A．After the completion of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
B．After Leonardo da Vinci’s being compared to Plato.
C．After Giotto di Bondone’s paintings were respected.
D．After Filippo Brunelleschi’s completing his writings.
【4】The passage aims to tell us ________.
A．Italy’s Renaissance art and artists
B．the famous artists in Italy’s history
C．Italy’s influence on the world in culture
D．the hardships during the Renaissance in Italy
22、 Marco Springmann and his colleagues, at the Oxford Martin School's Future of Food Programme, built computer models that predicted what would happen if everyone became vegetarian by 2050. The results indicate that if the world went vegan, the greenhouse gas emissions declines would be around 70%.
In the US, for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meal they eat than from driving two cars——but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.
Food, especially livestock, also takes up a lot of room. 68% of agricultural land in the world is used for livestock. When these lands become grasslands and forests, they would capture carbon dioxide and further ease climate change.
However, if the whole world went vegan, there would be negative effects too. First, it is necessary to keep livestock for environmental purposes. "I'm sitting here in Scotland where the Highlands' environment is very man-made and based largely on grazing by sheep," says Peter Alexander, a researcher in socio-ecological systems modeling at the University of Edinburgh. "If we took all the sheep away, the environment would look different and there would be a potential negative impact on biodiversity. "
Plus, meat is an important part of history , tradition and cultural identity. Numerous groups around the world give livestock gifts at weddings, celebratory dinners such as Christmas with turkey or roast beef.
And nowadays, moderation in meal-eating's frequency and portion size is key to solving these conflicts. "Certain changes would encourage us to make healthier and more environmentally friendly dietary decisions," says Springmann, "like putting a higher price lag on meat and making fresh fruits and vegetables cheaper. "
In fact, clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry. What is lacking is the will to implement those changes.
【1】What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A.Driving cars is more dangerous than eating steaks in the US.
B.Our dietary choices affecting climate change is often underestimated.
C.People compare the greenhouse gas emissions of the cars and steaks.
D.Cars affect the global warming more seriously than the steaks.
【2】Why does Peter Alexander mention the sheep?
A.To show the important impact of livestock on the environment.
B.To show his work as a researcher in the socio-ecological systems.
C.To encourage people to take all the sheep back for environmental purpose.
D.To point out the negative impact of the sheep on the biodiversity.
【3】Which saying can best show the author's attitude to livestock?
A.It is hard to please all.
B.Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
C.One cannnot see the wood for the trees.
D.Everything is a double-edged sword.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A biology textbook. B.A health magazine.
C.A scientific journal. D.An educational review.
23、 One of the most firmly established idea of manliness is that a real man doesn’t cry. Although he might cry a bit at a funeral, he is expected to quickly regain control. Crying openly is for girls. One study found that women cry significantly more than men do—five times as often, on average, and almost twice as long per period.
Historically, however, men usually cried, and no one saw it as shameful. For example, in the Middle Ages, knights cried only because they missed their girlfriends. In The Knight of the Cart, no less a hero than Lancelot weeps at a brief separation from Guinevere. There’s no mention of the men in these stories trying to hold back or hide their tears. They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high. Nor do their companions make fun of this public crying; it’s universally regarded as an admirable expression of feeling.
So where did all the male tears go? The most obvious possibility is that this is the result of changes as we moved from an agricultural society to one that was urban and industrial. In the Middle Ages, most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize. But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers. Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where expressions of feelings and even personal conversations were discouraged as time wasting.
Yet human beings weren’t designed to hide their feelings, and there’s reason to believe that restraining tears can be harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and not enough crying. Crying is also, somewhat related with happiness and wealth. Countries where people cry the most tend to be richer and more confident.
【1】In history, people considered it ________ for men to cry in public.
A．manly
B．shameful
C．ridiculous
D．acceptable
【2】How does the author answer the question raised in paragraph 3?
A．By offering descriptions.

A．Tony who lives alone and seldom expresses himself.
B．Emily who is outgoing but sometimes sobs in public.
C．Arthur who is under great stress but never shed a tear.
D．Rebecca who sometimes cries but quickly regain control.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Men Don’t Cry. Why?
B．Weeping Is for Women
C．Who Cry More? Men or Women?
D．Weeping Makes a Weak Man
