37.ThehistoryofresponsestotheworkoftheartistSandroBotticelli(1444-1510)suggeststhatwidespreadappreciationbycriticsisarelativelyrecentphenomenon.Writingin1550,VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli'swork,admittingthattheartistfittedawkwardlyintohisevolutionaryschemeofthehistoryofart.Overthenexttwocenturies,academicarthistoriansdefamedBotticelliinfavorofhisfellowsFlorentine.Michelangelo.Evenwhenanti-academicarthistoriansoftheearlynineteenthcenturyrejectedmanyofthestandardsofevaluationadoptedbytheirpredecessors,Botticelli'workremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs.(Manyofhisbestpaintings,however,remainedhiddenawayinobscurechurchesandprivatehomes.)

TheprimaryreasonforBotticelli'sunpopularityisnotdifficulttounderstand：mostobservers,upuntilthemid-nineteenthcentury,didnotconsiderhimtobenoteworthy,becausehiswork,forthemostpart.didnotseemtotheseobserverstoexhibitthetraditionalcharacteristicsofthefifteenth-centuryFlorentineart.Forexample.Botticellirarelyemployedthetechniqueofstrictperspectiveand,unlikeMichelangelo,neverusedchiaroscuro.

AnotherreasonforBotticelli'sunpopularitymayhavebeenthathisattitudetowardthestyle.ofclassicalartwasverydifferentfromthatofhiscontemporaries.Althoughhewasthoroughlyexposedtoclassicalart.heshowedlittleinterestinborrowingfromtheclassicalstyle.Indeed,itisparadoxicalthatapainteroflarge-scaleclassicalsubjectsadoptedastyle.thatwasonlyslightlysimilartothatofclassicalart.

Inanycase,whenviewersbegantoexaminemorecloselytherelationshipofBotticelli'sworktothetraditionofthefifteenthcenturyFlorentineart,hisreputationbegantogrow.AnalysesandassessmentsofBotticellimadebetween1850and1870bytheartistsofthePre-Raphaelitemovement,aswellasbythewriterPater(althoughhe.unfortunately,basedhisassessmentonanincorrectanalysisofBotticelli'spersonality),inspiredanewappreciationofBotticellithroughouttheEnglish-speakingworld.YetBotticelli'swork,especiallytheSistinefrescoes.didnotgenerateworldwideattentionuntilitwasfinallysubjectedto4comprehensiveandscrupulousanalysisbyHomein1908.Homerightlydemonstratedthatthefrescoessharedimportantfeatureswithpaintingsbyotherfifteenth-centuryFlorentines—featuressuchasskillfulrepresentationofanatomicalproportions,andofthehumanfigureinmotion.However,HomearguedthatBotticellididnottreatthesequalitiesasendsinthemselves—rather.thatheemphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievementandonethatmadethetraditionalFlorentinequalities1esscentral.BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyofart,thetwentiethcenturyhascometoappreciateBotticelli'sachievements.

16.afterafter解析：此句意為“…他注意到了那些拼寫有問題的學(xué)生也有一個壞的握筆習(xí)慣，他受到鼓舞調(diào)查這個領(lǐng)域?！?/p>

17.nono解析：本句話的意思是“那些趾高氣揚的人不可能是那些平易近人的人”。這是否定的意思，故答案為no。

18.atat解析：某大學(xué)的教授，應(yīng)為“aprofessorat…university”，所以答案為介詞“at”。

19.SometimeSometime解析：通過對后面句子的分析，我們可以知道那些想入非非、飄飄欲仙的人有朝一日也是可以“雙腳落地的”，那就是“sharpwordsfromteacher”，所以這里表示的是“有朝一日”，故答案為sometime。

20.whowho解析：此空后的句子應(yīng)為teacher的定語從句，故此空處應(yīng)填who，引導(dǎo)修飾人的定語從句。

21.dodo解析：答案為do。

22.toto解析：revertto意為“重想，重提”，此句意為“如果你經(jīng)常提到‘我們以前已經(jīng)試著這樣做了，但是不管用’就會很快地挫傷這種好問的頭腦”。

23.forfor解析：解析見上題。desire后面用介詞for。故答案為for，表示“…的欲望”。

24.amongamong解析：此句意為“后一種觀點得到了許多支持者，尤其…教育家?！憋@然，空處應(yīng)填“在…中”，介詞among即有此意。

25.butbut解析：這里表達的前后句意是一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。前面說“hemayhavedreams．”而后面“hedoesnotallowthemtoblockhisknowledge…”的意思卻是“但是他也不會讓這些夢想阻擋自己對什么是現(xiàn)實的理解?！惫蚀鸢笧閎ut。

26.C解析：本文第二段中提到“…becausealltheastronautshavecontractswithanAmericanmagazineunderconditionsforbiddinganyunauthorizeddisclosuresabouttheirprivatelives．”

27.B解析：根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護法并沒有保護婦女的權(quán)益，故B項正確。A項與作者的觀點明顯相悖，所以不正確。C項從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒有提到男性工人的保護問題，故D項也不正確。

28.D解析：這是一個通篇的中心歸納的考察題。文章一開始就指出“Beforeabigexam,asoundnight’ssleepwilldoyoubetterthanporingovertextbooks.”意思是在晚上好好的睡覺對記憶是有好處的。最后作者有歸納了研究的結(jié)果，“…concludedthatthenerveconnectionsinvolvedinmemoryarereinforcedthroughreactivationduringREMsl

29.B解析：由B中的第三段第二句話“NewYorkhasbecomeoneoftheworld'sbusiestportsandalsothefinancial，manufacturing，andtravelcenterofthecountry．”可知答案為B。
