14、 the most inclusive of the Performing Arts,combining music, song, dialogue and dance.Musical theatre in the West can be traced back to ancient Greece. Over the centuries musicals have evolved through Roman, French and 18lh Century theatre.During the 19th Century, musical theatre as we know it was bo

20、 rising popularity of other types of entertainment.D. The greater acceptance of black performers by white audiences.26. In which period did musical theatre become more complex and dramatic?A. Pre - 1900.B. 1900- 1929.C.1940- 1949.D.1950- 1959.27. What can be reasonably inferred about the musical Wes

21、t Side Story?A. It told its story in a new way.B. It was based on a true story.C. It was a non-Broadway show.D. It was not very successful at first.CIn 1874 Francis Galton, a British professor, analysed a sample of English scientists and foundthe vast majority to be first-born sons. This led him to

22、theorise that first-born children enjoyed aspecial level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellctually. Half acentury later Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality.First-born children, he suggested, were more diligent, whil

23、e the later-born were more outgoing andemotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have beenvaried - some supporting and some rejecting the original conclusions.The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small - often limited to afe

24、w dozen individuals. This would be true even if the statistical methodsneededto analyse the datawere simple, but they are not. Distinguishing birth-order effects from those caused by family sizecomplicates matters, meaning still bigger samples must be analysed to obtain meaningful results.To overcom

25、e the limitation of these earlier studies, German social scientist Dr. HelmetSchmukle and his colleagues analysed three huge sets of data from America, Britain and Germany.Thesedata sets, though collected for other purposes,included personality and intelligence tests on20, 186 people at different st

26、agesof their lives. The American tests were on individuals aged between29 and 35. The British tests were conducted on 50-year-olds. The German tests ran the whole span ofadult life, from 18 to 98.Birth order, they found, had no effect on personality: first-borns were no more, nor less,likely than th

27、eir younger siblings to be hardworking, outgoing or anxious. But it did affectintelligence. In a family with two children, the first child was more intelligent than the second60% of the time, rather than the 50% that would be expected by chance. On average, thistranslated to a difference of 1.5 IQ p

28、oints between first and second siblings. That figure agreeswith previous studies, and thus looks confirmed.It is, nevertheless, quite a small difference - and whether it is enough to account for Galton'soriginal observation is unclear. In any event, it is certainly not deterministic. Galton was

29、theyoungest of nine.28. Alfred Adler concluded that first-born children were.A. more stableB. more sociableC. more intelligentD. more hardworking29. What does the underlined “ they" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The data.B. The analyses.C. The previous studies.D. The statistical methods.30. Why wa

30、s Schmukle's study considered superior to previous research?A. It involved a wider age range.B. It had a much larger sample size.C. It included a larger number of countries.D. It was conducted over a longer period of time.31. Why does the author mention Galton's family background in the last

31、 paragraph?A. To confirm Galton's difficult upbringing.B. To suggest Galton's theory may not be correct.C. To compare his experience with Galton's parents.D. To explain why Galton was interested in birth order.DPhotography has opened our eyes to a multitude of beauties, things we literal

32、ly could nothave seen before the invention of the frozen image. It has greatly expanded our notion of whatis beautiful, what is aesthetically（審美上）pleasing. Items formerly considered trivial, and notworth an artist's paint, have been revealed and honored by the photograph: things as ordinary as a

33、fence post, a chair, a vegetable. And as technology has developed, photographers have exploredcompletely new points of view: those of the microscope, the eagle, the cosmos.What is it that delights the human eye and allows us to claim that a photograph is beautiful?Photography depends on the trinity

34、of light, composition, and moment. Light literally makes therecording of an image possible, but in the right hands, light in a photograph can make the image soar. The same is true with composition. What the photographer chooses to keep in or out of theframe is all that we will ever see - but that co

35、mbination is vital. And the moment that the shutter ispressed, when an instant is frozen in time, provides the whole image with meaning. When thethree - light, composition, and moment - are in balance, there is visual magic.Light, composition, and moment come together in a photograph to bring us the

36、 ultimatereality: a view of the world unknown prior to the invention of the camera. Before photography, thebasic artistic rules of painting were rarely broken. Images were made to please, not to capturereality. But as photography evolved, painterly rules were often reacted in the pursuit of fresh vi

37、sion.Photographers became interested in the real world, good and bad, and it was the accidental detail thatwas celebrated. Photography invited the world to see with new eyes - to see photographically - andall of the arts have drawn new inspiration from this change.With these basic aesthetic tools, p

38、hotographers have evolved from scientists longing to “ fix"animage - any image - to artistic revolutionaries. Photographs have created a new way of seeing,changed our ideas of beauty and, most importantly, made art more democratic. They have given usvisual proof that the world is grander than w

39、e imagined, and that there is beauty, often overlooked,in nearly everything.32. Before the invention of photography, which of the following was least likely to appear in an artistic work?A. A great person.B. A lovely insect.C. A grand building.D. A beautiful landscape.33. What is the function of par

40、agraph 2?A. To argue that photographic beauty is subjective.B. To explain the evolution of the concept of beauty.C. To describe the elements that make a successful photo.D. To illustrate different types of photographic techniques.34. How has photography affected other art forms?A. It has reduced the

41、ir popularity.B. It has forced them to change their rules.C. It has changed their methods of composition.D. It has provided them with new points of view.35. What does the author mean by saying photography has“ madeart more democratic" ?A. It has expanded the concept of artistic beauty.B. It has

42、 challenged the status of traditional art forms.C. It has enabled the development of new artistic tools.D. It has allowed more people to take part in creative activities.第二節（共 5小題;每小題2 分，滿分10 分 ）根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。What is culture?Culture is too complex to define in simple terms
