21、Cimabue, the greatest painter in medieval Italy, was surprised when he discovered that a fly had landed on one of his works. “Shoo!” he shouted, but it remained still. Finally, he reached out to touch the insect. To his surprise, he found only wet paint. Actually Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.

Giotto di Bondone was born in a poor farming family. Legend has it that while he was tending goats he drew a picture on a rock and that the artist Cimabue, who happened to be passing by, saw him at work and was so impressed with the boy’s talent that he took him into his studio as an apprentice(学徒).

In the Middle Ages, an apprentice’s job was to copy his master as exactly as he could, which resulted in a distinct lack of new ideas. In fact,art in the Middle Ages seemed to have been stuck in a rut. The people in paintings didn’t look like real people,and the symbolism of art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to connect with it on a personal level. But Giotto thought art could be something more.

To accomplish this goal, Giotto adopted many techniques that were uncommon at the time. He painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times. Finally, he threw out parts of the symbolism associated with medieval painting. For example, at that time the Christ Child was usually drawn as a mature man who was only a baby in size. This symbolized that Christ was wise even though he was young. Instead,Giotto painted the Christ Child as a baby,which emphasized the human relationship between the child and his mother.

The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.

【1】Why does the author mention the fly event in paragraph 1?

A．To prove the pupil outdoes the master.

B．To stress the fly was vividly painted.

C．To relate how Cimabue was tricked.

D．To demonstrate art has no limits.

【2】Why did Cimabue decide to instruct Giotto?

A．Giotto would be a helpful assistant.

B．Cimabue desired to rid Giotto of poverty.

C．Giotto badly needed Cimabue’s guidance.

D．Cimabue sensed a great potential in Giotto.

【3】What can we learn about art in the Middle Ages in paragraph 3?

A．It lacked innovation.

B．It highlighted realism.

C．It bonded well with viewers.

D．It underwent great changes.

【4】Why did Giotto paint the Christ Child as a baby?

A．To portray people in a realistic way.

B．To try the technique of perspective.

C．To distinguish himself from other painters.

D．D. To bring a sense of symbolism to his painting.

23、As soon as a person dies, decomposition(分解) begins. And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rabi Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.

She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon what entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death.”

Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise them until they hatch, a few weeks later—and they get a species ID and, with a little guesswork, a person's time of death. But Musah has come up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint—enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.

Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate(阐明) that this is a method that can be used, and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court, and something that could speed up detective work—or help deal with a cold case.”

【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “colonize” in paragraph 1?

A. look for   B. fight over   C. carry away   D. gather on

【2】How can a specialist know a person’s time of death?

A. By researching the habitual nature of flies.

B. By relying on the entomological evidence.

C. By distinguishing the appearance of flies.

D. By discovering a new detective method.

【3】What can we infer about Musah’s approach from the last paragraph?

A. Scientists have published studies about it.

B. It is bound to make every cold case solved.

C. It may help accelerate the detection of cases.

D. It will be published in Analytical Chemistry.

【4】Where most probably can you see this article?

A. In a science fiction.   B. In a newspaper.

C. In a medical paper.   D. In a novel.

24、   They call it the “rule of 150”. An anthropologist(人类学家)called Robin Dunbar made a study of 21 different primitive societies. He found that they all lived in villages of around 150 people. Then he asked people living in modern cities to make a list of all the people they knew well enough to talk to. Each of them made a list of around 150 people. Many of us have left village life behind. But the idea of the village has not left us.

Other studies of businesses and army units have shown that when people are forced into groups of over 150 they become inefficient. There are just too many people around to communicate with effectively. It also seems that when our personal “villages” become too small, people feel lonely. We need other people to help us.

Many people see life as a kind of journey. As they travel they pick up things they need. These are friends, a family and jobs. This is a narrow way of looking at things. It does not explain why people who get good jobs and become rich are often unhappy.

Using the “rule of 150”, we can see things differently. Instead of being a lonely traveler, you are the head of your own village. You are responsible for every part of village life. Getting a good job helps with the “economic development of your village. But you also need to pay attention to the social harmony of your village.

Many people think that happiness is about winning a race. The winner gets a great job, a perfect family and a lot of money. The loser should expect to be unhappy. The “rule of 150” teaches us that happiness comes with getting the right balance of relationship in our lives.

In a competitive society it is easy to judge people according to the kind of job they have or how much money they make. In fact, we are all the boss of our own villages. This is a difficult job. It is worthy of your respect.

【1】What does the figure “150” relate to?

A．The size of a group.

B．The number of groups.

C．The amount of work.

D．The number of primitive societies.

【2】What is the author’s opinion about “seeing life as a kind of journey”?

A．It only refers to rich people.

B．It doesn’t include village life.

C．It can’t cover all possibilities in life.

D．It may bring about unhappiness.

【3】What do you do as the head of your own village?

A．Take a long journey with the other villagers.

B．Compete against others to achieve happiness.

C．Use the “rule of 150” to improve the village life.

D．Deal properly with the people and things around you.

【4】What is the “rule of 150” discussed in the text mainly about?

A．The journey of life.

B．Relationship in one’s life.

C．The way to look at things.

D．The competitive society.
