　　Cross was what people call a mystery(神秘和)man. We had known him for over five years, even since he became a member of our club. But he had a way of keeping his personal life to himself in all but unimportant facts. We knew his address, though he did not ever invite us to his home, and his age too, but only small matters of this kind.

　　It appeared that he did not have to work for a living as we did. He had once mentioned a piece of property left by someone on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not, however, a man of luxurious(奢侈的)habits: he was not especially well-dressed and he did not even have a car. At the age of forty-five he was still single, since marriage was not a subject(话题)he ever discussed. We had no means of finding out whether he regretted the lack of a wife.

　　Cross disappeared suddenly from our circle shortly after we came to learn the first really meaningful facts about our mystery man. From reports that appeared in the newspapers, together with photographs of a man who was, without any doubt, our Mr Cross, it was discovered that he was a most skilled house -breaker, operating mainly in the London area; and that he had practised this for many years, until he was caught and sent to prison.

1．Cross’s prersonal life ________.

[　　]

A．didn’t exist

B．wasn’t important

C．was kept secret

D．wasn’t easy

2．It seemed that Cross ________.

[　　]

A．had different jobs

B．had lost his job

C．lived only for his work

D．had enough money without working

3．Cross went out of sight ________.

[　　]

A．in low spirit

B．after a quarrel

C．quite unexpectedly

D．forever

4．Cross was ________.

[　　]

A．a thief

B．an escaped prisoner

C．a newsman

D．a photographer

5．Cross worked ________.

[　　]

A．only in London

B．mostly in London

C．near London

D．away from London

答案：C;D;D;A;B

　　Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists．No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before．

　　Landscape(风景)is another unchanging element of art．It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists．In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice．Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before．Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees．In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background．He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术)to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom．

　　Besides, all art begs the age-old question： What is real?Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another．The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests．To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods．

　　Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant．Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience．Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings．

     Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists. No matter
what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry
where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
     Landscape (风景) is another unchanging element of art. It can be found from ancient times through the
17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists. In the 1970s Alfred Leslie,
one of the new American realists, continued this practice. Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas
Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before. Unlike Cole who
insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees.
In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway
in the background. He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography (摄影术) to help
both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
     Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their
understanding of reality in one form or another. The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the
realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic
drawings of the animals in the ancient forests. To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for
artists of all periods.
      Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant. Past or present,
Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience. Many and different are the faces
of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
