Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climb ing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, w hite build ings and green olive trees, I
paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a w oman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this w oman w as here to stop , sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I w as, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and review ing the

shot I w ould eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t w ant to mess w ith that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The w oman w as still there. I decided to take
the photo anyw ay. And now w hen I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is w hat makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautifu l on its ow n, somehow comes to life and breathes because this w oman is engaging w ith it.
This photo, w ith the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that w oman w ho “ruined”
it, now hangs on a w all in my bedroom. What w ould she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom w all? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in w hich some w oman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In
some w ays, she lives in my house.
Perhaps w e all live in each others’space. Perhaps this is w hat photos are for: to remind us that w e all appreciate b eauty, that w e all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation betw een tw o w omen, separated only by a thin square of glass.
24. What happened w hen the author w as about to take a photo?
A. Her camera stopped w orking. B. A w oman blocked her view.
C. Someone asked her to leave.
D. A friend approached from behind.
25. In the author ’s opinion, w hat makes the photo so alive?
A. The rich color of the landscape.
B. The perfect positioning of the c amera. C. The w oman’s existence in the photo. D. The soft sunlight that summer day.
26. The photo on the bedroom w all enables the author to better understand .
A. the need to be close to nature
B. the importance of private space C. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the shared passion for beauty
27. The passage can be seen as the author ’s reflections upon .
A. a particular life experience
B. the pleasure of traveling C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship

Hilversum is a medium-sized city betw een the major cit ies of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Ho lland, the Netherlands. Un lik e most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area w ith the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and w alk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum
is all about textile(纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture.
In history, Hilversum w as largely an agricultural area. Daily life w as marked by farming, sheep raising and w ool production. A railw ay link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders
from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They built themselves large villas( 别墅) in the w ooded
surroundings of the tow n. One of the families moving in w as the Brenninkmeijers, currently the w ealthiest family of the Nether lands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial text ile industry in Netherlands. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s.
The change to a media economy started in 1920,w hen the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabri- ek(NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the tow n. Televis ion gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the tow n.
In the early 1900s, modern architects W.M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundr eds of remarkable build ings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many
that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 build ings still bear his unique characteristics. His masterpiece, Hilversum Tow n Hall, w as built in 1928-1931. It has w ide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The build ing has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by w alking or bik ing the W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.
28．Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that .
A. it has a large population
B. it is cut off from big cities
C. it has many beautiful gardens
D. it is in a hilly area w ith sandy soil
29. What w as the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum?
A. Building a railw ay link to Amsterdam. B. Helping the industry to develop.
C. Constructing large villas for the poor.

D. Assisting its agricultural industry.
30. The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum w as marked by the establishment of
.
A. a radio factory B. the media capital
C. a radio station D. a TV station
31. What is know n about W.M .Dudok’s Hilversum Tow n Hall?
A. It consists of approximately 75 buildings.
B. It looks like an open air museum in the city.
C. It is a classic example in architecture textbooks . D. It has shaped most of 20 century Hilversum.

The values of artistic w orks, according to cultural relativ ism （相对主义）,are simply
reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, how ever, fails to explain the ability of some w orks of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.
History has w itnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major languag e of the w orld. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galler ies. Uniqu e w orks of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as w orks of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and w ill probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.
In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of
taste are uniform（不变的）in human nature,” the value of some w orks of art might be essentially
permanent. He observed that Homer w as still adm ired after tw o thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.
Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evo lution ary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long- lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.
32. According to the passage, w hat do w e know about cultural relativism?
A. It introduces different cultural values.
B. It explains the history of artistic w orks .
C. It relates artistic values to local conditions .
D. It excites the human mind throughout the w orld.
33. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that .
A. great w orks of art can go beyond national boundaries
B. history gives Art w orks special appeal to set them apart

C. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts
D. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures
34. According to Hume, some w orks of art can exist for centuries because .
A. they are results of scientific study
B. they establish some general principles of art
C. they are created by the w orld’s greatest artists
D. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature
35. Which of the follow ing can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Are Artistic Values Universal? B. Are Popular Arts Permanent? C. Is Human Nature Uniform?
D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?
