8、 the other avowedly non-Christian members of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. In designating their movement a form of“aesthetic mysticism“, one established critic, Alice Law described the place Pre-Raphaelitism holds in the development of Victorian artistic culture as a movement away from a predominantly

9、religious and moralizing function toward a culture of aestheticismprecisely what Rossettis work has long been thought to reject. The Pre-Raphaelites attention to picturesque detail, the medievalist atmosphere and settings, the pervasive melancholy of their works, and their awareness of their arts pr

10、imarily Christian literary and pictorial originsall these have been traditionally downplayed in their similarity to the characteristics of Christina Rossettis poetry. This belief persists, despite the distinctly religious “atmosphere“ of much of the work produced by both generations of Pre-Raphaelit

11、es: its employment of biblical images and typology; of religious figural language; and, more especially and pervasively, of medievalist backgrounds and settings that were seen by their early audiences to have clearly devotional, if not dangerously “Romanist“, associations. When discussing Pre-Raphae

12、litism as an historical movement, we must remember that the first brotherhood was inspired largely by a sacramental aesthetic that tended to alienate Victorian society, which generally abhorred the notion of sacrifice. It is true that Rossettis traditional solution to the Romantic and Victorian lite

13、rary problem of alienation from nature and the more characteristically Victorian problem of despair at lifes meaninglessness, was fundamentally Christian. But with few exceptions, Rossetti relied on the colloquial and angst-ridden language of both generations of Pre-Raphaelites. Even Swinburne, the

14、Pre-Raphaelite whose anti-orthodoxy and iconoclasm seem to conflict most profoundly with Rossettis values, enthusiastically hailed her. That most Victorians themselves perceived Christina Rossetti as unequivocally Pre-Raphaelite in her poetic affinities is clear, for throughout her poetry and much o

15、f her prose Christina Rossetti demonstrated true and deep affinities with Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic values, in both innovative and traditional ways. We must not forget her “pictorial“ modes of representation, the medieval atmosphere and settings that appear repeatedly in her poems, her appreciation o

16、f the worlds physical beauty and its expression in lush images, the intensity of her poems, which seems inseparable from their “sincerity“, and not least her preoccupation with love. To a greater extent than figures more peripheral to the Pre-Raphaelite circle, Christina Rossetti produced works that

17、 appear to be dominated by the same aesthetic consciousness and literary values that make Pre-Raphaelitism the central movement which unintentionally spawned the aestheticism of the 1880s and 1890s. Pre-Raphaelitism, in fact, influenced aesthetic thought in a way that made the movement central to th

18、e transition from the sentimental moral idealism of the Victorian mainstream to the variously nihilistic, skeptical, and ironic value systems that dominate modern poetry. （分数：1.04）(1).Which of the following might serve as the most appropriate title for the passage?（分数：0.08）A.Rosetti and the Pre-Raph

42、as a function of the emotional context in which they are initially perceived? Researchers recently conducted a study in which a novel odor was paired with either a positive or negative emotional experience. Ratings associated with the test odor varied in accordance with the paired emotion, such that

43、 the odor was perceived as either congenial or noisome, depending upon the quality of paired experience the participant had. Olfactory sensory attributes may produce an unlearned impact when odors are irritating; in these cases discomfort is experienced simultaneously to odor sensation, an event occ

44、urring when stimulation of the trigeminal nerve occurs coterminous with olfactory sensation. Many odors elicit trigeminal stimulation to varying degrees, so that the subjective distinction between pure odor and trigeminal irritation is not possible to make, though scientists have precipitously ventu

48、ng to the pairing process simulated in the experiment.E.The trigeminal nerve generally does not play a role in the experiencing of odors that create innate reactions.(2).The primary purpose of the passage is to_.（分数：-0.25）A.point out that theories about the functioning of olfactory sensation have fa

49、iled to change despite experimental inquiryB.suggest means by which the impact of odors that irritate human subjects may eventually be lessenedC.describe the attempt of scientists to understand the degree to which odor perception is learned or innateD.demonstrate that efforts to understand the psychobiological basis for hum
