When the aesthetic (美学的) experience has ended, we often feel uplifted and refreshed. Our eyes and ears, our insight into other persons, or our understanding of moral values may be sharpened and refined. We may feel more at home with ourselves. Works of art have value for use in all these.
It is this value that marks the difference between great art and simple entertainment. A work that is fairly easy to understand and appreciate takes little effort on our part. It may give us pleasure. But it does not involve our emotions or our attention at a deep level. It may take our minds off our troubles for a time, but it does not give us the spiritually enriching experience of vital and orderly design.
To enjoy the value of works of art, we must be ready to give a great deal to them. The greatest works of music and poetry often present difficulties. We cannot expect to master them all at once, and we cannot always find what is worthy in them at a glance. It is possible to get some satisfaction out of music while reading a newspaper or peeling (削皮) potatoes. But we must listen with full attention before we can find the riches in great works of music.
Which of the following is nearest in meaning to "We are completely wrapped up in it" (Paragraph One)?
A.We are totally absorbed by such fine piece of art.
B.We feel that the music seems to be around us.
C.Something wraps us when we are appreciating such a fine piece of art.
D.Such a fine piece of art makes us feel very excited.
完成下列各题 B
The human body naturally prevents attempt(企图)to lose or gain weight.Thus the best way to lower your weight is to do some exercise daily.Although scientists don’t agree exactly how this works to lower the“setpoint”,they do know that exercise helps your body work with you and not against you in at least the following ways: 1.Exercise burns calories(卡路里):if you walk two miles every day,you use an extra 1400 calories a week—and lose about a pound in two weeks. 2.Exercise helps to bum fat and build muscle:since muscle requires more calories than fat does,the more muscle you have,the faster you will bum calories. 3.Finally exercise speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢),not just while you’re exercising,but for several hours after exercise ends. A program of light-to-moderate exercise done for only a half-hour a day is enough to keep your“setpoint”lowered,and thus helps you lose weight and keep it off.If you need to lose more than five pounds,combine regular exercise with a moderate reduction in calories until you reach your goal(目标). Scientists don’t________.
A.think exercise helps peoples bodies work against them
B.agree exercise helps to lower peoples weight
C.bilieve in exercise at all
D.think exercise helps peoples bodies work with them

Comprehension
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment is given,instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams). The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning,not the one interested only in getting high grades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated with teachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given,the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.
When research is assigned,the professor expects the student to take the initiative and to complete the assignment with minimal guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books,periodicals,and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works,they expect students,particularly graduate students,to be able to exhaust the reference sources in the library.
Professors will help students who need it,but prefer that their students not be overly dependent on them. (This differs from teacher-student relationships in other countries. )In the United States,professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition,they may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work,the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.
“Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams. ”This means teachers______.
A. want students to fail exams
B. care only about exam grades
C. believe that passing exams is not the only purpose of a course
D. design courses for lectures only
