Cimabue, the greatest painter of a Middle Ages in Italy, was surprised one day after his lunch break to discover that a fly had seated itself under the nose of a character that he had been working on. He swatted (重拍) at the fly, but it did not move. He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint. Turning around, he saw that his apprentice (学徒), Giotto, was laughing. 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 into a poor family in a village. Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint. That was how Giotto’s story began in Florence, where the young student flourished under Cimabue s instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill.
At that time, people in paintings didn’t look real, and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with it. Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.
However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way. His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes (壁画) for the Arena Chapel. Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then, 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.
In addition to painting, Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans. When Giotto was in his sixties, he painted the Ognissanti Madomma, another famous work of art. He continued working until the age of seventy. The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.
24.What does the anecdote in paragraph 1 tell us about Giotto
A.His humor B.His talent C.His courage D.His determination
25.How did Cimabue feel about Giotto’s painting when they first met
A.Impressed B.Stressed C.Doubtful D.Concerned
26.What made Giotto’s works distinguished at that time
A.Vivid colors B.Classic skills C.Original composition D.Lifelike quality
27.Which of the following best summarizes Giott’s story
A.Great minds think alike B.Innovation is the vitality of art
C.Constant dripping wears away a stone D.A slow sparrow should make an early start
C
Working or learning in a foreign country can be a difficult experience, both professionally and personally, due to the cultural shock.
The hardest part of working abroad isn’t to find a place to stay or learn the language but to overcome the cultural shock. The anthropologist (人类学家) Kalvero Oberg first put forward the term “culture shock”. He reported that it was caused by the “anxiety” that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of communication while living and working in another culture.
These things are part of daily life, and include gestures, facial expressions and customs. When we enter a new culture, these signs are usually so different that they’re no longer comprehensible (可理解的) to us. “When an individual enters a strange culture”, wrote Oberg, “all or most of these familiar signs are eliminated. He or she is like a fish out of water, however broad-minded he or she may be.”
This is what happened to Lara, a young IT consultant from America who began to work in southern Europe last year. Three weeks after arriving in Europe, she sent a desperate e-mail begging to return home. “The people are so rude,” she wrote. “They eat at strange hours and I’m starting to feel appetizing to local food. I can’t get anything done because their way of doing business is so efficient. I just want to be home.”
What Lara and other IT consultants meet on their work abroad is a culture shock. While we can’t prevent it from happening, we can still take steps to weaken its effects.
28.What is the most challenging for a worker living abroad for the first time
A.Learning the new language. B.Finding a place to stay.
C.Adapting to the new culture. D.Earning a high income.
29.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “eliminated”
A.Removed. B.Accepted. C.Questioned. D.Challenged.
30.What does Lara’s oversea experience mainly tell us
A.Life abroad is always in a mess. B.Colleagues abroad aren’t easy-going.
C.Working abroad isn’t a wise choice. D.Culture acceptance matters much for a foreigner.
31.What might follow the end of the passage
A.Measures taken to further understand culture shock.
B.Measures taken to explore the causes of culture shock.
C.Measures taken to reduce the influences of culture shock.
D.Measures taken to rid the influences of culture shock.

24.推理判断题。根据第一段“He swatted (重拍) at the fly, but it did not move. He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint. Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled. (他拍苍蝇,但它不动。他伸手去摸那只昆虫,却发现那只是未干的油漆。Giotto是在Cimabue不在的时候画的这只苍蝇,它看起来如此真实,Cimabue完全被骗了。)”可知,Giotto趁Cimabue不在时画得苍蝇,让他信以为真,这表明了Giotto的才能。故选B项。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段“Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint.(传说有一天,Cimabue在乡下闲逛时,发现一个年轻的牧童正在画他的羊,画得非常生动,Cimabue立即邀请他来佛罗伦萨学习画画。)”可知,第一次见Giotto时,Cimabue认为他的画让人印象深刻。故选A项。
26.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way. (然而,Giotto认为艺术应该以一种更现实的方式与人们联系在一起。)”以及“he painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. (他以自己所看到的方式来描绘人物,而不是像其他艺术家画的那样过分高大、四四方方的人。)”可知,Giotto的画因其栩栩如生的特点而与众不同。故选D项。
27.主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.

29.词义猜测题。根据上文“These things are part of daily life, and include gestures, facial expressions and customs.
