Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletteronAnswerSheet2.WhytheMonaLisaStandsOut [A]Haveyoueverfallenforanovelandbeenamazednottofinditonlistsofgreatbooks? Or walked around a sculpture renowned asa classic, struggling to see whatthe fuss is about? If so, you’ve probably pondered the question a psychologist, James Cutting, askedhimself:Howdoesaworkofartcometobeconsideredgreat? [B] The intuitive answer is that some works of art are just great: of intrinsically superior quality. The paintings that win prime spots in galleries, get taught in classes and reproducedinbooksaretheonesthathaveprovedtheirartisticvalueovertime.Ifyou can’tseethey’resuperior,that’syourproblem. It’s anintimidatinglyneatexplanation. But some social scientists have been asking awkward questions of it, raising the possibility that artistic canons (名作目录) are little more than fossilised historical accidents. [C] Cutting, a professor at Cornell University, wondered if a psychological mechanism known asthe “mere-exposure effect” played arole in decidingwhich paintings rise to thetopoftheculturalleague.Cuttingdesignedanexperimenttotesthishunch(直觉). Over alecturecourseheregularly showedundergraduatesworks ofimpressionismfor two seconds at a time. Some of the paintings were canonical, included in art-history books. Others were lesser known butof comparable quality. These were exposed four timesasoften.Afterwards,thestudentspreferredthemtothecanonicalworks,whilea control group of students liked the canonical ones best. Cutting’s students had grown tolikethosepaintingsmoresimplybecausetheyhadseenthemmore. [D] Cutting believes his experiment offers a clue as to how canons are formed. He points out that the most reproduced works of impressionism today tend to have been bought by five or six wealthy and influential collectors in the late 19th century. The preferences of these men bestowed (给予) prestige on certain works, which made the works more likely to be hung in galleries and printed in collections. The fame passed downtheyears,gaining momentumfrommere exposureasitdidso.Themorepeople were exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more they liked it, the more it appeared in books, on posters and in big exhibitions. Meanwhile, academics and criticscreatedsophisticatedjustificationsforits preeminence(卓越).Afterall,it’snot just the masses who tend to rate what they see more often more highly. As contemporary artists like Warhol and Damien Hirst have grasped, critics’ praise is deeply entwined (交织) with publicity. “Scholars”, Cutting argues, “are no different fromthepublicintheeffectsofmereexposure.” [E] The process described by Cutting evokes a principle that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls “cumulative advantage”: once a thing becomes popular, it will tend to become more popular still. A few years ago, Watts, who is employed by Microsoft to study the dynamics of social networks, had a similar experience to Cutting‘s in anotherParis museum. Afterqueuingtoseethe“MonaLisa”inits climate- controlled bulletproof box at the Louvre, he came away puzzled: why was it considered so superior to the three other Leonardos in the previous chamber, to which nobody seemedtobepayingtheslightestattention? [F] When Watts looked into the history of “the greatest painting of all time”, he discoveredthat,formostofits life,the“MonaLisa”remainedinrelative obscurity. In the 1850s, Leonardo da Vinci was considered no match for giants of Renaissance art like Titian and Raphael, whose works were worth almost ten times as much as the “Mona Lisa”. It was only in the 20th century that Leonardo’s portrait of his patron’s wife rocketed to the number-one spot. What propelled it there wasn’t a scholarly re- evaluation,butatheft.[G]In 1911 a maintenance worker at the Louvre walked out of the museum with the “Mona Lisa” hidden under his smock (工作服). Parisians were shocked at the theft of a painting to which, until then, they had paid little attention. When the museum reopened, people queued to see the gap where the “Mona Lisa” had once hung in a way they had never done for the painting itself. From then on, the “Mona Lisa” came torepresentWesterncultureitself. [H]Although many have tried, it does seem improbable that the painting’s unique status can be attributed entirely to the quality of its brushstrokes. It has been said that the subject’s eyes follow the viewer around the room. But as the painting’s biographer, Donald Sassoon, dryly notes, “In reality the effect can be obtained from any portrait.” Duncan Watts proposes that the “Mona Lisa” is merely an extreme example of a generalrule. Paintings, poems andpopsongs arebuoyed (使浮起) orsunk by random eventsorpreferencesthatturnintowavesofinfluence,passingdownthegenerations. [I] “Saying that cultural objects have value,” Brian Eno once wrote, “is like saying that telephones have conversations.” Nearly all the cultural objects we consume arrive wrapped in inherited opinion; our preferences are always, to some extent, someone else’s. Visitors to the “Mona Lisa” know they are about to visit the greatest work of art ever and come away appropriately impressed—or let down. An audience at a performance of “Hamlet” know it is regarded as awork of genius, so that is what they mostlysee.WattsevencallsthepreeminenceofShakespearea“historicalaccident”. [J] Although the rigid high-low distinction fell apartin the 1960s, we still use culture as a badge of identity. Today’s fashion for eclecticism (折衷主义)—“Ilove Bach,Abba and Jay Z” — is, Shamus Khan, a Columbia University psychologist, argues, a new way for the middle class to distinguish themselves from what they perceive to be the narrowtastesofthosebeneaththeminthesocialhierarchy. [K]Theintrinsicqualityofaworkofartisstartingtoseemlikeitsleastimportantattribute. But perhaps it’s more significant than our social scientists allow. First of all,a work needs a certain quality to be eligible to be swept to the top of the pile. The “Mona Lisa” may not be a worthy world champion, but it was in the Louvre in thefirst place,andnotbyaccident.Secondly, some stuffis simplybetterthanotherstuff. Read “Hamlet” after reading even the greatest of Shakespeare’s contemporaries, and the differencemaystrikeyouasunarguable. [L]A study in the British Journal of Aesthetics suggests that the exposure effect doesn’t work the same way on everything, and points to a different conclusion about how canons are formed. The social scientists are right to say that we should be a little sceptical of greatness, and that we should always look in the next room. Great art and mediocrity (平庸)can get confused, even by experts. But that’s why we need to see, and read, as much as we can.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet2withasinglelinethroughthecentre. PassageOne Questions46to50arebasedonthefollowingpassage. When the right person is holding the right job at the right moment, that person’s influence is greatly expanded. That is the position in which Janet Yellen, who is expected tobeconfirmed as thenext chairof theFederalReserve Bank(Fed) in January, nowfinds herself. If you believe, as many do, that unemployment is the major economic and social concern of our day, then it is no stretch to think Yellen is the most powerfulperson in the worldrightnow. Throughout the 2008 financial crisis and the recession and recovery that followed, central banks have taken on the role of stimulators of last resort, holding up the global economy with vast amounts of money in the form of asset buying. Yellen, previously a Fed vice chair, was one of the principal architects of the Fed’s $3.8 trillion money dump. A star economist known for her groundbreaking work on labor markets, Yellen was a kind of prophetess early on in the crisis for her warnings about the subprime ( 次级债) meltdown. Now it will be her job to get the Fed and the markets out of the biggest and mostunconventionalmonetaryprograminhistorywithoutderailingthefragilerecovery. ThegoodnewsisthatYellen,67,is particularlywellsuitedto meetthesechallenges. She has a keen understanding of financial markets, an appreciation for their imperfections anda strongbelief thathuman suffering was more related to unemploymentthan anything else. Some experts worry that Yellen will be inclined to chase unemployment to the neglect of inflation. But with wages still relatively flat and the economy increasingly dividedbetweenthewell-off andthe long-term unemployed, more people worryaboutthe opposite,deflation(通货紧缩)thatwouldaggravatetheeconomy’sproblems. Eitherway, theincomingFed chief willhave towalk afine line inslowly endingthe stimulus. It must be steady enough to deflate bubbles ( 去泡沫) and bring markets back downtoearthbutnotsoquickthatitcreatesanothercreditcrisis. Unlike many past Fed leaders, Yellen is not one to buy into the finance industry’s argument that it should be left alone to regulate itself. She knows all along the Fed has beentooslackonregulationoffinance. Yellen is likely to address the issue right after she pushes unemployment below 6%, stabilizes markets and makes sure that the recovery is more inclusive and robust. As Princeton Professor Alan Blinder says, “She’s smart as a whip, deeply logical, willing to argue but also a good listener. She can persuade without creating hostility.” All those traits will beusefulas the globaleconomy’s new power player takes onits mostannoying problems.56.WhatdomanypeoplethinkisthebiggestproblemfacingJanetYellen?

The fact that public parks in cities become crowded as soon as the sun shines proves that people long to breathe in green, open spaces. They do not all know what they are seeking butthey flock there, nevertheless. And, in these surroundings, they are generally both peaceful and peaceable. It is rare to see people fighting in a garden. Perhaps struggle unfolds first, not at an economic or social level, but over the appropriation of air, essential to life itself. If humanbeingscanbreatheandshareair,theydon’tneedtostrugglewithoneanother. Unfortunately, in our western tradition, neither materialist nor idealist theoreticians give enough consideration to this basic condition for life. As for politicians, despite proposing curbs on environmental pollution, they have not yet called for it to be made a crime.Wealthycountriesareevenallowedtopolluteiftheypayforit. But is our life worth anything other than money? The plant world shows us in silence what faithfulness to life consists of. It also helps us to a new beginning, urging us to care for our breath, notonly at a vital butalso at a spiritual level. The interdependence to which we must pay the closest attention is that which exists between ourselves and the plant world. Often described as “the lungs of the planet”, the woods that cover the earth offer us the gift of breathable air by releasing oxygen. But their capacity to renew the air polluted by industry has long reached its limit. If we lack the air necessary for a healthy life, it is because we have filled it with chemicals and undercut the ability of plants to regenerate it. As we know, rapid deforestation combined with the massive burning of fossilfuelsisanexplosiverecipeforanirreversibledisaster. Thefightover theappropriationofresourceswillleadtheentire planettohellunless humans learn to share life, both with each other and with plants. This task issimultaneously ethical and political because it can be discharged only when each takes it uponherselforhimself andonlywhenitisaccomplished togetherwith others.Thelesson taught by plants is that sharing life expands and enhances the sphere of the living, while dividing life into so-called natural or human resources diminishes it. We must come to view the air, the plants and ourselves as the contributors to the preservation of life and growth, rather than a web of quantifiable objects or productive potentialities at our disposal. Perhaps then we would finally begin to live, rather than being concerned with baresurvival. 61. What does the author assume might be the primary reason that people would struggle witheachother?
