20、 about music is like dancing about architecture, or so the saying goes. Sometimes attributed to Frank Zappa, other times to Elvis Costello, this quote is usually intended to convey the futility of such an endeavor, if not the complete silliness of even attempting it. But Glenn Kurtzs graceful memoir

21、, Practicing: A Musicians Return to Music, turns the expression on its head, giving it a different meaning by creating a lovely, unique book. Kurtz picked up the guitar as a kid in a music-loving family, attended the Long Island music school, and went on to play on Merv Griffins TV show before gradu

22、ating from Tufts University. Motivating the young Kurtz was the dream of reinventing classical guitar, as if by his great ambition alone he could push it from the margins of popular interest to center stagesomething not even accomplished by the late Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia , perhaps the onl

23、y artist of the form ever to reach anything resembling widespread celebrity. This book reads like a love story of sorts: Boy meets guitar. Boy loves guitar. Guitar breaks boys heart or, more precisely, the ordinariness of a working musicians life does so. “Id just imagined the artists life naively,

24、childishly, with too much longing, too much poetry and innocence and purity,“ Kurtz writes. “The guitar had been the instrument of my dreams. Now the dream was over.“ Boy leaves guitar. Were the story to end here, this book would be a tragedy, but after nearly a decade the boy returns to guitar, and

25、 although he has lost the enthusiasm he had in his youth, he finds his love of the guitar again in a way he never could have appreciated before. Although Kurtz is writing about a unique musical path, his journey speaks eloquently to the heart of anyone who has ever desperately yearned to achieve som

26、ething and felt the sting of disappointment. “Everyone who gives up a serious childhood dreamof becoming an artist, a doctor, an engineer, an athletelives the rest of their life with a sense of loss, with nagging what ifs,“ he writes. “Is that time and effort, that talent and ambition, truly wasted?

27、“（分数：6.00）(1).The quotation mentioned in Paragraph 1 implies that writing about music is _.（分数：2.00）A.an ambitious attemptB.a modern form of artC.an impossible taskD.a rewarding experience(2).As a young man Glenn Kurtz wanted to_.（分数：2.00）A.surpass Andres Segovias achievementB.transform classical gu

28、itarC.become a TV music starD.live on arts(3).What does the passage say about classical guitar?（分数：2.00）A.It is not popular with the public.B.It is not an easy skill to master.C.It is a favorite of many young people.D.It is a craze in some countries like Spain.As with any work of art, the merit of C

29、hapman Kelleys “Wildflower Works I“ was in the eye of the beholder. Kelley, who normally works with paint and canvas, considered the twin oval gardens planted in 1984 at Daley Bicentennial Park his most important piece. The Chicago Park District considered it a patch of raggedy vegetation on public

30、property that could be dug up and replanted at will like the flower boxes along Michigan Avenue. And thats what happened in June 2004, when the district decided to create a more orderly vista for pedestrians crossing from Millennium Park via the new Frank Gehry footbridge. If youre looking for evide

31、nce that the rubes who run the Park District dont know art when they see it, all you have to do is visit whats left of Kelleys masterpiece. The exuberant 1.5-acre tangle of leggy wildflowers is now confined to a tidy rectangle, restrained on all sides by a knee-high hedge and surrounded by a closely

32、 cropped lawn. White hydrangeas and pink shrub roses complete the look. We dont know whos responsible for the redesign, but well bet the carpet in his home doesnt go with the furniture. Still, youd think the Park District was within its rights to plow under the prairie. Wrong. Kelley just won at law

33、suit in which he argued that the garden was public area and therefore protected by the federal Visual Artists Rights Act. Under that law, the district should have given him 90 days notice that it intended to mess with his artwork instead of rushing headlong into the demolition, a la Meigs Field. Tha

34、t way Kelley could have mounted a legal challenge, or at least removed the plants. Park District officials said they never considered the garden a work of art, even though it was installed by an established artist and not, say, Joes Sod and Landscaping. We can understand their confusion. Just recent

35、ly, we figured out that the caged greenery directly south of Pritzker Pavilion is supposed to be an architectural statement and not a Christmas tree lot. All thats left is for the district to compensate Kelley for his loss. Whatever price the parties settle on, lets hope the agreement also provides

36、for the removal of the rest of “Wildflower Works I.“ If it wasnt an eyesore beforeand plenty of people thought it was.it sure is now.（分数：10.00）(1).It is implied in the first paragraph that the public_.（分数：2.00）A.paid little attention to “Wildflower Works I“B.appreciated the value of “Wildflower Work

37、s I“C.tolerated the ugliness of “Wildflower Works I“D.had their own views on “Wildflower Works I“(2).The boldfaced word “rubes“ in Paragraph 4 most likely means _.（分数：2.00）A.expertsB.laymenC.foolsD.artists(3).According to the passage, the one who redesigned the Park must_.（分数：2.00）A.know Kellys work

38、 wellB.have a terrible taste in artC.like conventional layoutsD.always put the publics need first(4).Which of the following was NOT true about “Wildflower Works I?（分数：2.00）A.It was designed by the famous artist Chapman Kelley.B.There are two oval gardens at Daley Bicentennial Park.C.The public voted

39、 for demolishing the gardens.D.The Chicago Park District did not deem it a piece of art.(5).Why did Kelly win the lawsuit?（分数：2.00）A.Kelly had a very capable lawyer.B.The Park District had no right to demolish it.C.The Park District should take the publics opinion first.D.The Park District should ha

40、ve informed Kelly of the demolition.A few years ago, in their search for ways to sell more goods, advertising men hit on a new and controversial gimmick. It is a silent, invisible commercial that, the ad men claim, can be rushed past the consumers conscious mind and planted in his subconsciousand wi

41、thout the consumers knowledge. Developed by James Vicary, a research man who studies what makes people buy, this technique relies on the psychological principle of subliminal perception. Scientists tell us that many of the sights coming to or eyes are not consciously “seen.“ We select only a few for

42、 conscious “seeing“ and ignore the rest. Actually the discarded impressions are recorded in the brain though they are below the threshold of consciousness. Theres little doubt in Vicarys mind as to the subliminal ads effectiveness. His proof can be summed up in just two words: sales increase. In an

43、unidentified movie house not so long ago, unknown audiences saw a curious film program. At the same time, on the same screen on which the film hero was courting the heroine a subliminal projector was flashing its invisible commercials. “Get popcorn,“ ordered the commercial for a reported one three-t

44、housandths of a second every five seconds. It announced “Coca-Cola“ at the same speed and frequency to other audiences. At the end of a six weeks trial, popcorn sales had gone up 57 percent, Coke sales 18 percent. Experimental Films. Inc., says the technique is not new. It began research on sublimin

45、al perception in 1954. Experimental Films stresses that its equipment was designed for helping problematic students and treating the mentally ill. At NYU two doctors showed twenty women the projected image of an expressionless face. They told the subjects to watch the face for some change of express

46、ion. Then they flashed the word angry on the screen at subliminal speeds. Now the women thought the face looked unpleasant. When the word happy was flashed on the screen instead, the subjects thought the womans facial expression looked much more pleasant. Subliminal techniques, its promoters believe

47、, are good for more than selling popcorn. Perhaps the process can even be used to sell political candidates, by leaving a favorable impression of the candidate in the minds of the electorates subliminally. How convincing are these invisible commercials? Skeptical psychologists answer that they arent

48、 anywhere near as effective as the ad men would like to think they are. Nothing has been proven yet scientifically, says a prominent research man.（分数：12.00）(1).Subliminal perception is when one_.（分数：2.00）A.has an attempt to buy with a good reasonB.recalls some past events and activitiesC.enjoys seeing some images i
