27、twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before: changes for the better, changes for the worse; changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger.

32、large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill together.” The above brief review of the application of only one part of

37、佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Leonardo da Vinci and Nature In the modern world, art and science are two very separate activities, but in Leonardos time they were closely connected.

38、measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct. 17 Mathematics was also connected to music because music
39、al sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers. 18 More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and he said that without them nothing can be done. Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to
40、copy, wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas. 19 His pu
41、rpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature. 20 His quick little sketches, often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a
42、 desk with a pen and ruler. In July 2001，a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world. ALeonardo was always drawing. BHow could these be connected with art？ CLeonardos ideas were vastly ahead of his time. DMathematicians and doctors worked to d
43、iscover the unknown. EAbove all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked. FYou will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper. GLeonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.第三部分语言知识运用完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文
