三、阅读理解
Passage 1
Panel (嵌镶板) painting, common in thirteenth-and fourteenth century Europe, involved a painstaking, laborious process. Wooden planks were joined, covered with gesso (石膏) to prepare the surface for painting, and then polished smooth with special tools. On this perfect surface, the artist would sketch a composition with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of applying thin layers of egg tempera (用鸡蛋、水等稀释的颜料或涂料) paint egg yolk in which pigments (颜料) are suspended, with small brushes. The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints produced the final, translucent colors.
Backgrounds of gold were made by carefully applying sheets of gold leaf, and then embellishing (修饰) or decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a metal rod on which a pattern had been embossed (使浮雕). Every step in the process was slow and deliberate, the quick-drying tempera demanded that the artist know exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it required the use of fine brushes. It was, therefore, an ideal technique for emphasizing the hard linear edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so much a part of the overall aesthetic (审美) of the time. The notion that an artist could or would dash off an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was completely alien (相异的) to these deliberately produced works.
Furthermore, making these paintings was so time-consuming that it demanded assistance. All such work was done by collective enterprise in the workshops. The painter or master who is credited with having created the painting may have designed the work and overseen its production, but it is highly unlikely that the artist's hand applied every stroke of the brush. More likely, numerous assistants, who had been trained to imitate the artist's style, applied the paint. The

Passage 2
Of all the varieties of music which fill our concert halls, theaters, and nightclubs, only jazz is native American music. Symphonies and concertos, the ancestors of movie and television scores as well as of “serious” or “legitimate” electronic music, were first composed in Germany. Musical comedies descended from opera, which was first performed in Italy. And our ever-popular nightclub singers are the musical heirs of the French singers of chansons (歌曲).
The one form of music which did not originate in Europe and which is popular today worldwide is jazz. Jazz was born in New Orleans, the child of the Blacks. It drew on the rhythms as well as the emotionalism (感情主义) of the African music of the Black ancestors, which had been transformed into ragtime (拉格泰姆节奏爵士) and the blues. Improvisation (即度创作) was an indispensable element. Musicians were permitted, in solo (独奏) performance, plenty of freedom to play in whatever variations just as their creative mood happened to lead them along. But during the Swing (摇摆乐) era (1930s -- 1950s), impromptu (即兴的) performances gave way to arrangement. It was a period when jazz had its widest popular appeal with the big bands that boasted of such outstanding bandleaders as Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and a whole galaxy of top-notch instrumentalists.
Rock music in the 1960s is a sociological expression rather than a musical force and the rock arena was seen as a sort of debating forum (论坛), a place where ideas clash and crash, where American youngsters struggle to define and redefine their feelings and beliefs. Bob Dylon touched a nerve of disaffection. He spoke of civil rights, nuclear fallout, and loneliness. He spoke of change and of the bewilderment of an older generation. “Something is happening here,” he sang.

“You don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?”
Others entered the debate. The Beatles urged peace and piety (信仰) with humor and maybe a little help from drugs. Feelings, always a part of any musical statement, were a major subject. Elvis Presley became the pop icon (偶像), maybe because he acted out your wildest fantasies, brought out your subdued id (冲动), embodied your frustrated teenage spirit, encouraged your protest against traditional values. In this sense, rock is the music of teenage rebellion. All aspects of music -- its exciting offbeat, loudness, self-absorbed lyrics and raving delivery -- indicated a defiance of adult authority.

Passage 3
As parents, we want our children to reach their full academic potential. We read to them, encourage their special talents, and support them when they have problems. If they choose to participate in music or sports, we also help them reach their potential in those areas. These are all good goals.
There is, however, an even more important goal. It is a goal more difficult than excellence in arithmetic or soccer or the violin. Parents are responsible for providing their children with a moral compass. They need to nurture and treasure goodness in their children. Every child has the capacity to become a good, decent human being. To fulfill this capacity, children need the guidance and support of parents and other adults. Raising good, moral children is the most important job we will have.
What is a good, decent human being? While we may differ on some details, most would agree that respect for others, kindness and caring, honesty and honor, and a reverence (尊重) life are key. Good, decent human beings are people with a firm sense of direction and purpose -- a
