D
Every profession,every art,and every science has its technical vocabulary. Its function is partly to name things or processes which can not be described in ordinary English.Such special terms are necessary in technical discussion of any kind.Being universally understood by the specialists of the particular science or art,these terms have the exactness of a mathematical formula(公式).Besides,they save time, for it is much more convenient to name a process than to describe it. 
Different occupations,however,differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies.In trades and handicrafts,and other professions,like farming and fishery,that have occupied great numbers of men in the past,the technical vocabulary is very old.It consists largely of native words, or borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fibre of our language.As a consequence, though highly technical in many particulars,these vocabularies are more familiar in sound;and more generally understood,than most other technicalities.
Yet every profession still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain extremely unfamiliar, even to educated speech.And the amount has been much increased in the last fifty years.New terms are invented with the greatest freedom,and abandoned unconcernedly when they have served their turn.Most of the new inventions of words and expressions are restricted to special discussions, and seldom get into general conversation.
Yet no profession is,nowadays,as all professions once were,a closed association.Specialists in different fields share ideas and associate freely with each other. Furthermore, what is called “popular science” familiarizes everybody with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote lab, is at once reported in the newspaper, and everybody is soon talking about it—as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wordless telegraph. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
67.Technical terms are created so            .
A.specialists may communicate more easily
B.people may enjoy varieties of occupations
C.people may save time in everyday discussions
D.specialists may well accept mathematical formulas
68.The writer lists wireless telegraph as an example to show special words      .
A.should represent popular science
B.may become part of common speech
C.should be restricted to scientific fields
D.may be considered great inventions of man
69.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Nonteehnical words may be replaced.
B.Media helps to popularize special terms.
C.Various professionals exchange their terms.
D.Educated people know most technical terms.

D
Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand ----he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.
What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because they translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and response: their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is noting more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a decaying(腐爛的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.
46. It is hard to understand a painting because_____
A. the artist wants to teach the others 
B. a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words.
C. the painter doesn’t express his idea well enough
D. the painting is meaningless
47. A painter uses certain shapes and colors because he feels that they ____.
A. haven’t been used before            B. are not worth showing to the public
C. are interesting to them                   D. haven’t been noticed by the public
48 Implied but not stated_____.
A. paintings are more easily understood than music.
B. to find what the artist is saying we must look beyond the shape and color
C. painting is only the arranging of shape and color
D. all artists are trying to teach something to the public
49. Why do what painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain?
A. Because painters cannot express themselves clearly in words.
B. Because painters change their into shapes and colors, not words.
C. Because people cannot understand painters’ words.
D. Because people are not interested in what painters want to tell us.  
50. Where do most artists take their shapes and colors?
A. From nature                                        B. From human bodies in motion and response.
C. From artists’ own imagination.                 D. Both A and B
