Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will lis

18、ten and understand - he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of

19、 shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and

20、colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there

21、 is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint gangrenous leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us somet

22、hing, showing us something, emphasizing somethingall of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.(1).It is hard to explain what a painter is saying because_A.most painters do not express themselves wellB. a painter uses unusual words and phrases C. a painter uses shap

23、es and colors instead of words D.many painters do not say anything(2).An artists choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be _A. meaningful in themselves B. merely beautiful C. a reflection of his experiences D. worth looking at (3).The writer says that contemporary artists mig

Art is merely the arranging of shape and color C. Every artist tries to say something to the public D. One must look beyond shape and co

26、lor to find what the artist is saying 2.Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of ca

27、rbon dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planets atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus atmosphere from top to bottom, enablin

28、g NASAs scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planets atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the S

29、un than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earths but Venus atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus atmosphere traps much more heat radiation tha

30、n does Earths. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Earths agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.(1).Which of the following would be the best

31、title for this passage?A. The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A New Theory D.
