Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Art is fun; it caters to the basic creative instinct which is present in everyone. It can impar

31、t a great feeling of achievement especially to children who as yet have not been able to gain much of a sense of success from their other efforts in life. It also helps backward children to develop mentally and physically. Their confidence grows as they experience success in art, and a confident chi

32、ld learns more easily than a tense one. Physically handicapped children benefit because their motor control improves as they attempt to make more delicate movements with their hands and as they gradually impose more control upon themselves. Art is particularly valuable to mentally handicapped childr

33、en who find it difficult to communicate their ideas and emotions and who perhaps even find it difficult to comprehend themselves. Subnormal children with very limited vocabularies may find that painting is easier than talking, and through painting they are able to express ideas, emotions, and reacti

34、ons to situations and experiences. Children need to communicate in two ways. First, they have to convey information to other people, often about their immediate requirements concerning both tangible things “I want to drink.“ or “I want to mention.“ and less tangible things “I want you near me.“ Seco

35、ndly, they have to communicate with themselves. If children, do not have words to use, their minds are, inevitably, a disorderly mixture of responses to which they can react only emotionally, often with frustrations. Through their paintings such children are not consciously trying to tell other peop

36、le that they have certain feelings, but with the paint they are able to create a concrete, permanent statement of feeling and so the emotion becomes less intense and under more control. Thus, art helps in the same way that acting and fantasy-play help children to regulate their emotions and recreati

37、ons, i. e. , by recreating them in a controlled situation. Music, dancing, acting, and storytelling can give similar feelings of satisfaction and offer opportunities which may be of assistance to children either individually or collectively. 46 In the authors opinion, art can make children_. （ A） mo

39、（ D） emotions and reactions 49 It can be inferred from the passage that the function of art is_. （ A） trivial （ B） common （ C） satisfactory （ D） significant 50 The best title for this passage may be_. （ A） Art and Language （ B） Art and Children （ C） Art and the Development of Subnormal Children （ D）

40、 Function of Art 50 Within 30 years, humans could be debating whether to take charge of their own evolution. The average life span in the developed world will be 90, diseases will be diagnosed before symptoms appear, many humans will already be genetically modified and patients with heart diseases,

41、cancer or dangerous infections will be treated with prescriptions tailored to their own genetic makeup, according to Francis Collins, one of the leaders of the project to sequence the entire human genome. By 2010, Collins told in a major international biotechnology forum in France this week, there c

42、ould be predictive tests for at least 12 hereditary conditions, and scientists would understand the role that genes played in most common diseases. Embryoes developed by in vitro fertilization methods would be routinely scanned for genetic illnesses. Legislation to prevent genetic discrimination the

43、 creation of an underclass denied health care, employment or insurance because of this genetic knowledge could be in place within 10 years. By 2020, the designer drugs based on research on the human genome will be coming on to the market. The pharmaceutical industry would have produced powerful trea

44、tments for diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and schizophrenia. By 2030, if all went well, there should be comprehensive health care based on genetic knowledge, with individual medicine based on individual risk. Doctors would understand better the links between genes and environmental factors. I

45、llnesses would be detected much earlier by molecular surveillance, even before symptoms appeared, and therapies would be more effective and more available. Collins also foresaw that by 2030, people would be arguing, as British physicist Stephen Hawking already is, that humans could start to take cha
