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(主观的): 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 (滥用) 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.

Aart history shows us nothing but the political values

Bgeneral history only focuses on politics

Cart history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a place

Aa personal and emotional view of history is presented through it

Bit only reflects people’s anger or sadness about social problems

Cit can easily arouse people’s anger about their government

Dartists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society

8. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ？（）

AIn history books political views of people are entirely presented.

BFrancisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808

CIn the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other building.

DFor centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings.

9. The passage mainly discusses （）.

Athe development of art history

Bhe difference between general history and art history

Cwhat we can learn from art

Dthe influence of artists on art history

AIslamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintings

Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously(无意识地)。
Manufacturers(生产商)have discovered by experience that sugar sells. Badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics(化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.
Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive(刺激). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection.
Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bring red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.

CPeople exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.

DThe psychology of color is of some practical use.

14. Which of the following statements if TRUE according to the passage？（）

AManufacturers often sell sugar in green wrapping.
