8、among the Greeks. Illustrations of the lives of the gods, goddesses, and heroes-both 1 and real-usually decorated the vases. The vases were made of red-coloured clay by people called potters. The vases had a 2 . That is, people used them to hold dry things such as grain, or 3 like wine or oil. The a

9、rtists who decorated the vases perfected several different glazing techniques. They painted glazes on the vases, and then fired them in an oven or a kiln to make them 4 . Artists illustrated stories on these vases in different ways. They did this by decorating them in bands that 5 the pots. At times

10、, many bands with small figures were popular and at other times fewer bands with larger figures were more popular. As with 6 many examples of this art form have disappeared. The earliest vases date back to the Geometric period. These vases had 7 geometric designs. In the late Geometric period, figur

11、es start to appear on the vases. During the Archaic period, the black-figure technique was popular. In the black-figure technique, the figures are 8 against the natural red background of the clay. Later, a painter known as Andokides that“s A-N-D-O-K-I-D-E-S-developed a 9 technique, called the red-fi

12、gure technique. Examples of the red-figure technique can be seen on kraters (掺和器), a type of vase. Take a look at the example in your book. As you can see, it“s decorated with scenes from the lives of the gods. In the scene we can see here, Artemis, the goddess of hunting, kills Actaeon after he 10

13、sees her bathing. （分数：30.00）填空项 1:_Now, I“d like to begin by giving you a few pointers on 11 in lectures. This is a 12 skill, so listen up! Most important of all is that you shouldn“t try to make a note of everything you hear. A lecture is not a dictation. You have to listen and decide what is impor

14、tant and what isn“t. Second, when you make notes, don“t write everything in full. Use 13 , symbols, numbers. anything to help 14 . Also, try to organize your notes effectively. Furthermore, you should try to be an active listener. By that, I mean you need to try and 15 what the speaker is going to s

15、ay. so before the lecture, ask yourself what you already know about the topic, and during the lecture think about where the talk might be 16 . Another useful tip is if you miss something then don“t 17 . Lecturers usually repeat themselves. certainly, the important information, for example, by 18 . S

16、omething else you should be sure to do is listen for the main ideas, as well as the details, otherwise you won“t be able to see the wood for the trees. And finally, after the lecture, you should 19 your notes as soon as possible. That means basically writing them out again, but this time reorganize

17、them, highlight the main points, and even add your own thoughts and comments in the margin. Reviewing your notes in this way will help everything sink in, and make a useful study aid. So, now I“ve covered that I“ll start with the 20 . （分数：30.00）填空项 1:_Now, most people would agree that the 21 economi

18、c growth China has enjoyed in the last forty years represents perhaps the most 22 geopolitical event of the 21st century.

19、 have soared and industrial production is growing at 17% per annum. Since 2001, China has doubled its share of global 24 . In fact, China is second only to the US, and most forecasts suggest it will overtake the American economy within the next ten years. China“s population of 1.3 billion makes it a

20、 staggering one fifth of the world“s population. This huge population resource means not only is China the world“s largest market, but it also underpins the main reason for its economic rise-a large workforce. The 25 economic growth in China has meant huge changes for the workforce. For example, it

21、is estimated that about 200 million people have moved from rural areas to urban areas to find work, resulting in the biggest mass migration in history. 26 in agriculture has been replaced for millions by jobs in manufacturing and industry, which, for many people, has meant having to retrain, acquire

22、 new skills, and 27 a new way of life. Many would argue that the growing middle class is the 28 of China“s success. However, some economists see 29 in China“s economy. They point, for example, to the fact that many of the manufacturing companies that produce goods in China are in fact foreign. These

23、 foreign companies, they argue, will continue to invest in China while labour costs are low, but if wages start to rise too much, they may move their production to other parts of the world where rates of pay have remained lower. China has come a long way since the 1970s, but it would seem that, for

24、China to continue its economic success story, the country must not 30 outside investment and expertise, but must invest more in skills and training in order to produce its own experts and entrepreneurs of the future. （分数：30.00）填空项 1:_大学生英语竞赛 C 类非英语专业-14 答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Listening Comprehe
