29、one with the hand of an angel, the intellect of a scientist, and the soul of a romantic. His drawings are among the most beautiful ever made; his most treasured painting, the Mona Lisa, is undoubtedly the most famous in the world.Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452. Around 1469, his father took him t
30、o Florence. There, Leonardo start an apprenticeship(学徒期)at the studio of Andrea del Verrocchio, with whom he studied for at least six years. The boy mastered every medium, discovering so much so fast that it seemed to him that everything must eventually be revealed to his searching. In painting, he
31、not only outshone his more mature colleagues but also his teacher. Assigned to paint the figure of an angel, he gave it a whole new dimension that drew the viewer directly into the painting, in a, way that Verrocchios inhibited(拘谨的)style could never do.

To acquire it, Leonardo turned to a diverse array of fields: mathematics, geometry, astronomy, geology, botany, and zoology, as well as painting and dr
33、awing.In 1482, Leonardo went to Milan. Two great works mark his years in Milan. One of them was a bronze statue of a conquering hero riding a horse. The horse was to be colossal, in a pose full of motion and life. The concept was so bold, so ambitious, that it finally brought Leonardo产he praise he s

Checking for versions of these two tales and similar stories from Africa, East Asia and other regions, he ended up with 58 stories recorded from oral traditions.Once he confirmed that they were indeed related, he tried to explore how th

Studies suggest that these stories include really important information about the environment and the possible dangers-something relevant to survival, he says. Yet in his analysis such elements were just as flexible as seemingly unimportant details. What, the
41、n, is important enough to be reproduced from generation to generation?The answer seems to be the horrible aspects of the story, which turned out to be the best preserved of all. Why are these details maintained while other features are not? Tehrani has an idea, In an oral context, a story wont survi
42、ve because of one great teller. It also needs to be interesting when its told by someone whos not necessarily a great storyteller. Maybe being swallowed whole by a wolf, then cut out of its stomach alive is so absorbing that it helps the story remain popular.Jack Zipes is unconvinced by Tehranis vie
43、ws. Even if theyre horrible, they wont stick unless they matter, he says. He believes the lasting theme of women as victims in stories like Little Red Riding Hood explains why they continue to feel relevant. But Tehrani points out that although this is often the case in Western versions, it is not a
44、lways true elsewhere. In Chinese and Japanese versions, often known as The Tiger Grandmother, the criminal is a woman, and in both Iran and Nigeria, the victim is a boy.Mathias Clasen isnt surprised by Tehranis findings. Habits and morals change, but the things that scare us, and the fact that we se
45、ek out entertainment thats designed to scare us-those are constant, he says. Clasen believes that scary stories teach us what it feels like to be afraid without having to experience real danger, and so build up resistance to negative emotions.32. What method did Jamie Tehrani use to test his ideas a
46、bout fairy tales?A. He distinguished the various themes of all fairy tales.B. He looked at unrelated stories from different countries.C. He compared oral and written forms of the same stories.D. He studied many different forms of the same basic story.33. What does Jack Zipes suggest when discussing
47、Tehranis views?A. Tehrani ignores key changes in the role of women.B. Stories that are too frightening are not always taken seriously.C. Tehrani over emphasizes the importance of violence in stories.D. Features of stories only survive if they have a deeper significance.34. Why does Tehrani refer to
48、Chinese and Japanese fairy tales?A. To suggest that crime is a global problem.B. To add more evidence for Jack Zipes ideas.C. To indicate that Jack Zipes theory is incorrect.D. To imply that all fairy tales have a similar meaning.35. What does Mathias Clasen believe about fairy tales?A. They reflect
49、 the changing values of our society.B. They are a safe way of learning to deal with fear.C. They are a type of entertainment some people avoid.D. They reduce our ability to cope with realistic problems.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Giving children access to all va
