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 ancestorsor of people very differen
27、t from our owncan 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,
28、that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective; 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
29、 the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picassos Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueirosas well
30、 as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinezdepicted(描绘) these Mexican artists deep anger and sadness about social problems.In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religi
31、ous buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible(圣经). Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand biblical 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
32、 absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.5More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because art history _.A. shows us the religions and emotions of a people in addition to political valuesB. provides us w
33、ith information about the daily activities of people in the pastC. gives us an insight into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD. all of the above6Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.

37、he Bible答案与历史课本相比，艺术史更能再现历史风貌，因为艺术作品中倾注了创作人的思想情感，可以更好地反映某个特定时期的历史。5D。6D。细节理解题。最后一段的倒数第二句提到中东艺术的一个显著特点是不用人物和动物形象作为绘画的题材，由此可知此项正确。最后一段中的第二句是说宗教艺术“几乎是”欧洲教堂中几百年来唯一的艺术形式，而不是欧洲“唯一的”艺术形式，所以C项不恰当。7C。主旨大意题。第一段的最后一句是对本文中心思想的概括，所以本文的主要目的是阐述我们可以从艺术中学到什么。A项只是文中提到的部分内容，不具有概括性。8A。推理判断题。最后一段的倒数第二句提到中东艺术不用人物和动物形象作为绘
38、画题材，最后一句则提到这也反映了伊斯兰教的信仰，由此可推断信仰伊斯兰教的艺术家也不创作人物和动物的图画，转而会用花卉等艺术形象进行创作。文章第二段开头部分是说历史课本是对历史事实的客观叙述，这并不意味着历史老师比艺术家更为客观，所以B项错误；C项在文中没有信息支持。 Can you imagine a catfish bigger than a boy?
