这次题一考完我就陆陆续续靠我记忆找到的
首先30个单选多出自于2000-2006的老六级，这是师大第二次从这里挑，难度适中，只找到27个，还有三个真想不起来了（图片放不上来好像）然后阅读
The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘Palaeolithic Man’ ‘Neolithic Man’ etc. neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this: ‘in the twentieth century people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.’
   The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world—or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred (=\"not\" clear) image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers in particular are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure (引诱；诱惑) of the great motorways or what? And as for sea travel it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there. ’You mention the remotest most evocative (引起记忆的) place-names in the world like El Dorado Kabul Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’—meaning ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.’
    When you travel at high speeds the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival when it is achieved is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot on the other hand lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.
第一问问你 anthropologists是什么，应该是人类学家啥的，迷惑选项中有个考古学家的选项Archaeologists的含义，容易弄混
第二问题比较简单，快速移动的物体没什么意义
第三问Why does the author say ‘we are deprived of the use of our eyes’?（C）
A．People won’t use their eyes.
B．In traveling at high speeds eyes become useless.（湖师大改为our vision declines）迷惑性大大的
C．People can’t see anything on his way of travel.
D．People want to sleep during travelling.
第四问：What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage？
原文是个选择题，答案是the best way to travel is on foot
我自己写的则是的话应该是要成为一个脚踏实地的旅行者，一步一脚印去欣赏沿途中美丽的风景


   The medieval artists didn’t know about perspective; they didn’t want to make their people look like real， individual people in a real，individual scene. They wanted to show the truth， the eternal quality of their religious stories. So these artists didn’t need to know about perspective.
   In the European Renaissance period，artists wanted to show the importance of the individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings. A flat medieval style couldn’t show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique. It was the Italian artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective drawing. At first the artists of the Renaissance only had single-point perspective. Later they realized that they could have two-pointed perspective and still later multi-point perspective.
　With two-point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an angle to the picture and draw two sides of it. The technique of perspective which seems so natural to us now is an invented technique, a part of the “grammar of painting”. Like all bits of grammar there are exceptions about perspective. For example， only vertical and horizontal surfaces seem to meet on eye level. Sloping roof tops don’t meet on eye level.
　For 500 years，artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their pictures. Nevertheless， there are a range of priorities that artists in displaying individual styles. Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple single-point perspective. Cezanne always talked about space and volume. Van Gogh，like some of the other painters of the Impressionist period， was interested in Japanese prints. And Japanese artists until this century were always very strong designers of “flat” pictures. Picasso certainly made pictures which have volume and depth. However， he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to remind us that his paintings are paintings and not illusions.
　It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth. However,  a strong two dimensional design is just as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more important.

1 The passage mainly discusses(B)
　　(a) the difference between medieval and Renaissance art
　　(b) how the technique of perspective influenced the modern art
　　(c) the discovery of the technique of perspective
　　(d) the contribution of Renaissance artists

2 According to the passage， which is the main concern for medieval artists?(D)
　　(a) the individual person and his/her possessions and surroundings
　　(b) real people， real scenes
　　(c) eternal timeless truth of the earth
　　(d) themes of religious stories

3 The discovery of perspective was the result of(C)
　　(a) Renaissance artists’ to prove that the medieval artists could show level of reality
　　(b) the need to turn an object at an angle and draw more than one side of it
　　(c) the subject being shifted from religious stories to individual person and　surroundings.
　　(d) natural evolution of human senses
4 What\'s the difference between medieval art and renaissance art?


   The sense of smell, or olfaction, is powerful. Odours affect us on a physical, psychological and social level. For the most part, however, we breathe in the aromas which surround us without being consciously aware of their importance to us. It is only when the faculty of smell is impaired for some reason that we begin to realise the essential role the sense of smell plays in our sense of well-being
    A survey conducted by Anthony Synott at Montreal\'s Concordia University asked participants to comment on how important smell was to them in their lives. It became apparent that smell can evoke strong emotional responses. A scent associated with a good experience can bring a rush of joy, while a foul odour or one associated with a bad memory may make us grimace with disgust. Respondents to the survey noted that many of their olfactory likes and dislikes were based on emotional associations. Such associations can be powerful enough so that odours that we would generally label unpleasant become agreeable, and those that we would generally consider fragrant become disagreeable for particular individuals. The perception of smell, therefore, consists not only of the sensation of the odours themselves, but of the experiences and emotions associated with them.
　 Odours are also essential cues in social bonding. One respondent to the survey believed that there is no true emotional bonding without touching and smelling a loved one. In fact, infants recognise the odours of their mothers soon after birth and adults can often identify their children or spouses by scent. In one well-known test, women and men were able to distinguish by smell alone clothing worn by their marriage partners from similar clothing worn by other people. Most of the subjects would probably never have given much thought to odour as a cue for identifying family members before being involved in the test, but as the experiment revealed, even when not consciously considered, smells register.
　  In spite of its importance to our emotional and sensory lives, smell is probably the most undervalued sense in many cultures. The reason often given for the low regard in which smell is held is that, in comparison with its importance among animals, the human sense of smell is feeble and undeveloped. While it is true that the olfactory powers of humans are nothing like as fine as those possessed by certain animals, they are still remarkably acute. Our noses are able to recognise thousands of smells, and to perceive odours which are present only in extremely small quantities.
　  Smell, however, is a highly elusive phenomenon. Odours, unlike colours, for instance, cannot be named in many languages because the specific vocabulary simply doesn\'t exist. ‘It smells like…,’ we have to say when describing an odour, struggling to express our olfactory experience. Nor can odours be recorded: there is no effective way to either capture or store them over time. In the realm of olfaction, we must make do with descriptions and recollections. This has implications for olfactory research.

33 According to the introduction, we become aware of the importance of smell when（C）
　　A we discover a new smell.
　　B we experience a powerful smell.
　　C our ability to smell is damaged.
　　D we are surrounded by odours.

34 The experiment described in paragraph （A）
　　A shows how we make use of smell without realising it.
　　B demonstrates that family members have a similar smell.
　　C proves that a sense of smell is learnt.
　　D compares the sense of smell in males and females.
36 What does the write suggest about the study of smell in the atmosphere in paragraph  （D）
　　A The measurement of smell is becoming more accurate.
　　B Researchers believe smell is a purely physical reaction.
　　C Most smells are inoffensive.
　　D Smell is yet to be defined.
What\'s the main idea of the passage?
就是把嗅觉的作用和重要性用自己的话归纳一遍吧，至少我是这么答的哈哈哈

                                                         why marriage fails？



Divorce is notan evil act. Sometimes it provides salvation for people who have grownhopelessly apart or were frozen in patterns of pain or mutual unhappiness.Divorce can be, despite its initial devastation, like the first cut of thesurgeon\'s knife, a step toward new health and a good life. On the other hand,if the partners can stay past the breaking up of the romantic myths into thedevelopment of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing asthe greatest cathedrals of the world. :Marriages that do not fail but improve,that persist despite imperfections, are not only rare these days but offer awondrous shelter in which the face of our mutual humanity can safely showitself.
第一问是婚姻大部分失败的原因在于：我选择的没有渡过婚姻危机点
