第三篇
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. 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 ancestors—or of people very different from our own—can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offer 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; 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 the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros—as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martines—depicted these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.


In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t 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 absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.

    不知道做对了多少
    1.把general history与art history 进行对比说我们可从art history中学到更多东西为什么
    下面abc三个选项的内容在文章中第一段都有提及a.art history给我们展现出更多的关于宗教、人们情绪和政治价值观。b.提供给我们关于过去人们的日常生活信息。c.给我们深入了解某个时间和地点的重要实质
    2.说艺术是主观的表现在:通过艺术我们可以看到个人和情感的历史观。原句:Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions.
    3.通过文章我们看下面哪个是正确的评论:可通过排除法,a是错误的,b选项历史书反映了编者的政治观点,文中恰恰相反,原句:In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed.
    4.文章主要讨论:a.general history and art history.的不同
    5.也可通过排除法选d
