小題1:____________________________
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than it is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.
小題2:____________________________
In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors---or of people very different from our own---can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.
小題3:____________________________
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects subjective emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros---as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins---depicted（描述）these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.
小題4:____________________________
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical（圣經的）stories in the pictures on church walls.
小題5:____________________________
By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This shows the Islamic belief that statues are unholy. Something else can be more religiously symbolic in history.

1. A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than it is possible to learn in general history classes.
“A study of art history”藝術歷史的研究.”be a good way to”一個好的方法。人們想更多地了解文化，應該去研究文化的淵源，而不是參加歷史培訓班大體了解一下。所以選D
2.第二段中， be different from 與。。。不同，后面第二句話中，in short 總而言之，藝術反映了一個時代和地區(qū)基本的品質。故選F
3. objective information 客觀信息，subjective（思想，感情等） 主觀的，文章開頭，在一些歷史書中只能呈現(xiàn)一個國家政治生活的客觀信息，而很少涉及到人們的觀點。相反，藝術卻是主觀的，它能反映情感和觀點。Emotions 情感，感情。Opinions 觀點，想法。故選C
4．第四段的第一句話，In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs.同樣，藝術能夠反映文化的宗教信仰。所以選B
5. 第四段中，Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. 教堂和一些宗教建筑貼滿了畫，畫的內容反映了圣經中的人物和故事。第五段中，By contrast“相反”可知這段和上段構成鮮明的對比，absence 名詞，“缺少”statues “雕像”A選項中images也有“雕像，圖像”的意思，綜合以上選A.
