22、 One of the most works of art is Mona Lisa. Nearly everyone who goes to see the original will already be familiar with it from reproductions, but they accept that fine art is more rewardingly viewed in its original form. Despite a recognition that the spread of good reproduction can be culturally valuable, museums continue to promote the special status of original work. Unfortunately this seems to place severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.
One limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits .We view a collection by the presence of security guards, ropes and display cases to keep us away from the exhibits. A major collection like that London's National Gallery is housed in numerous rooms, each with dozens of works, any one of that is likely to be worth more than all the average visitor possesses . In a society that judges the personal status by material worth, It's therefore difficult not to be impressed by one's own 'worthlessness' in such an environment. Furthermore, consideration of the 'value' of the original work in its treasure house setting impresses upon the viewer that the works have been assigned a huge monetary value by some person or institution more powerful than themselves. Evidently nothing about the work is going to change that value, and so today's viewer is deterred from trying to extend that spontaneous （自然的）,immediate kind of reading which would originally have met the work.
The visitor may be struck by the strangeness of seeing such diverse paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in an environment for which they were not originally created. This 'displacement effect* is further heightened by the volume of exhibits. In case of a major collection ,time seems to be a vital factor in the appreciation of all art forms. A fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed（规定的）time over which a painting is viewed. By contrast, novels and poems are read in a prescribed temporal sequence （顺序）, whereas a picture has no clear place at which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Thus art works themselves encourage us to view them superficially, without appreciating the richness of detail and labour that is involved.
【1】The writer mentions London's National Gallery to illustrate ________.
A．the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art
B．the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic values.
C．the negative effect a museum can have on visitors' of themselves.
D．the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artistic schemes.
【2】The underlined word 'deterred' in paragraph 2 can be replaced by .
A．discouraged.
B．changed .
C．dismissed.
D．promoted.
【3】According to the passage, unlike other forms of art, a painting does not
A．require a specific location for a performance.
B．need the involvement of other professionals.
C．involve direct contact with an audience.
D．have a specific beginning or end.
【4】What's the purpose of the passage?
A．To tell the limitations of the museums.
B．To introduce the role of museums of fine art.
C．To show how the museums arrange their exhibits.
D．To explain why viewers are influenced by the museums.
23、These destinations march to the beat of their own drum. So put on your dancing shoes and head to these sweet-sounding cities.
New Orleans
In the 19th century, slaves gathered on Sundays to play drums, dance, and sing in Congo Square. Those lively rhythms of Africa ran head on with the sounds of Europe to create jazz, a typical American art form that has inspired generations of Americans and spread around the globe. But this isn’t suit-wearing, head-nodding, polite jazz. New Orleans jazz sweeps you off your feet and makes you jump and clap and sing along.
Chicago
Large numbers of African Americans left the South in search of better opportunities during 1916~1970 and Chicago attracted scores of these people, who brought with them the sound of the Mississippi River. Here, it changed into something sad and symphonic: blues. Blues was not born in Chicago, but it was here that it found a new voice and began to spread its message around the world.
Memphis
Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. It was here in Sun Studios in the summer of 1951 that Ike Turner and his band the Delta Cats recorded “Rocket 88”, widely regarded as the first rock and roll song. But, like so many great things, it happened by accident the guitarist’s loudspeaker broke down during the recording, creating a unique guitar sound that would become a hallmark of the music. People didn’t know how to classify it, but they knew they loved it. The rest is history.
New York City
New York is one of the world’s greatest cities where you can listen to all kinds of music. But to experience a true New York state of mind, you have to leave the shiny towers and Broadway shows of Manhattan and head to Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens to explore the city’s hip-hop history.
【1】What do New Orleans jazz and Chicago blues have in common?

B．They have similar origin.

24、 Suppose you placed a baby in a room with a snake and a spider. Would he play with these creatures? Researchers in the study of fear are actively looking into it.
A fear of snake is one of the most common and strongest fears in the world, according to fear researcher, Judy Deloache, of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, the US, who was not involved in the new study.
Many people believe that we are innately (天生) scared of them, because some snakes are deadly. Seemingly in line with that, 11-month-old babies were shown images of a snake paired with either a fearful or a happy voice. The babies looked at the snakes for longer when a fearful voice was presented than when a happy voice was head. However, the study was not hard proof.
Now, a new study is re-assessing how babies react to snakes. The team measured babies physiological responses (生理反应) as they watched videos of snakes and elephants, paired with both fearful and happy voices. They then set out to startle the babies to see how they would react. They presented them with a “startle research”, which in this case was an unexpected bright flash of light as they watched a video.
“What we found is that their startle responses were not bigger when watching a video of a snake than watching a video of an elephant, even when paired with a fearful voice,” says co-author, Vansessa Lobue, at Rutgers University in New Jersey, the US. Instead, the babies’ startle response was actually lower. Their heart response was also lower, which also indicates that babies were not scared. In other words, though the babies paid more attention to the snakes, this did not cause fear.
Children do not have an innate fear of snakes, agrees Deloache. “It’s not proper to have any hard-wired (硬连线的) fear,” she says, because it would limit a baby’s desire to explore new things.
【1】The study mentioned in the third paragraph was designed to test whether________.
A．snakes are deadly to people
B．people have an innate fear of snakes
C．babies are more interested in living things
D．a fear of snakes is the most common fear in the world
【2】What can we learn about the first study from the text?
A．Babies would cry when they heard a fearful voice
B．Judy was one of the researchers in the study.
C．The study cannot be regarded as hard proof.
D．Babies prefer happy voices to fearful ones.
【3】The underlined word “startle” in the fourth paragraph means “________”.
A．scare
B．call
C．ask
D．hit
【4】What were the babies’ responses in the second study?
A．They were very afraid of the snakes.
B．Their startle responses became bigger.
C．They were more interested in the light than in the snakes.
D．Their heart response became lower when watching a video of a snake.
