Picture perfect: Is there such a thing as a classic?
The “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20, 000 people visit and view I. conardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of an engaging semi-smile, but a thief. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called “an enormous, horrific, huge void”.
Classics of art, literature and music are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that endures across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book Written in Water, the “timeless classic” is anything but “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go.
The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. Artists used to strive to express ideal forms of beauty. Genius was the “child of imitation”, explained Joshua Reynolds, a British portraitist in the 18th century. Artists learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures.
The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century Giorgio Vasari, an Italian painter, advanced an influential expression of artistic progress that was achieved in the realism of Raphael and Michelangelo. But in the 19th century John Ruskin, a critic, called attention to the pre-Raphaelite movement when he argued that the real “Old Masters” were actually medieval Christian painters. Seeing today’s desirable contemporary “masterpieces” sold at auction (拍卖) for millions, you are bound to wonder how critics 100 years from now will feel about them.
Much as in art, the “classics” of music and literature have not always been set in stone either. Today Johann Sebastian Bach is often regarded as the master of classical music. But after his death in 1750 Bach’s compositions fell out of fashion until Felix Mendelssohn, a German composer, rediscovered them in the 1820s.
Ms. Gurstein’s perspectives show that the “status of a classic” depends on critics, and is a test to the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Taste evolves, and it should. But true culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or controversy. It is silence.
By citing the example of “Mona Lisa” in Paragraph One, the author intends to?
introduce her engaging smile in the perfect picture.
","recognize her as the most famous female in the world.
","disclose the unknown thief of the masterpiece in 1911.
","illustrate the fame of a classic can arise from unexpected events.
"]推理判断题。根据第一段 “The ‘Mona Lisa’ is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Every day around 20, 000 people visit and view Leonardo da Vinci’s painting in the Louvre. Yet it became famous not because of an engaging semi-smile, but a thief. Until a worker stole the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mostly unknown; viewers flooded in to see what a French newspaper called ‘an enormous, horrific, huge void’. (《蒙娜丽莎》可能是世界上最容易辨认的女性面孔。每天大约有两万人在卢浮宫参观列奥纳多·达·芬奇的这幅画。然而，它出名不是因为迷人的半微笑，而是因为一个小偷。直到1911年一名工人偷走了这幅杰作，它在很大程度上仍然不为人知；观众们涌入博物馆，想看看一家法国报纸所称的 ‘一个巨大、可怕、巨大的空白处’。)” 可知，《蒙娜丽莎》是因为被偷才出名的，这是一个意外事件。作者引用《蒙娜丽莎》的例子是为了说明经典作品的名声可能来自意想不到的事件。故选D。
According to Paragraph Three, how did artists in the past view artistic creation?
They prioritized originality over tradition.
","They rejected Roman and Greek influences.
","They aimed to express their personal emotions.
","They believed in learning by imitating classics.
"]细节理解题。根据第三段 “Artists used to strive to express ideal forms of beauty. Genius was the ‘child of imitation’, explained Joshua Reynolds, a British portraitist in the 18th century. Artists learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures. (艺术家过去常常努力表达理想的美。18世纪的英国肖像画家约书亚·雷诺兹解释说，天才是 ‘模仿的产物’。艺术家们通过研究和模仿经典杰作来学习，这些杰作通常是希腊雕塑的罗马复制品。)” 可知，过去的艺术家认为艺术创作要通过模仿经典来学习。故选D。
What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
Relativism and controversy are the main threats to the classics.
","True culture will survive regardless of people’s discussions about classics.
","Silence helps in maintaining the status of classics as it preserves their mystery.
","Classics are shaped by ongoing debate and the influence of critics and passionate writers.
"]推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Ms. Gurstein’s perspectives show that the ‘status of a classic’ depends on critics, and is a test to the power of passionate writers to change the way people look at art. Taste evolves, and it should. But true culture lives on only as long as people continue to argue over what counts as a classic today. The true enemy of the classic is not relativism or controversy. It is silence. (古斯坦女士的观点表明，‘经典的地位’ 取决于批评家，也是对热情的作家改变人们看待艺术方式的能力的一种考验。品味在演变，而且应该演变。但只有当人们继续争论今天什么才算经典时，真正的文化才会延续下去。经典的真正敌人不是相对主义或争议。而是沉默。)” 可知，经典是由持续的争论以及批评家和热情的作家的影响所塑造的。故选D。
The passage is mainly about .
the rise and fall of classics and the causes
","great minds and their representative works
","world-famous art, literature and music classics
","criticism of a book written by Rochelle Gurstein
"]主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段以《蒙娜丽莎》为例引出经典的名声可能来自意外事件；第二段指出经典不是永恒不变的；第三段说明艺术本身的变化对经典兴衰的影响；第四段提到艺术史的书写也改变了品味；第五段以巴赫的作品为例说明音乐和文学的经典也不是一成不变的；最后一段强调经典的地位取决于批评家以及持续的争论。所以整篇文章主要讲了经典的兴衰以及原因。故选A。
