Passage 1

Throughout history artists have illed many different roles, but their value and importance to society have stayed basically the same. To begin with, artists fulfll a practical function, designing virtually every structure and object in the environment. Today this practical role is carried out by artists with specialized, often technical training一industrial and graphic designers, architects, craft artists, and fashion designers, among others. But what about the painters and sculptors, the photographers and cinematographers (電影攝影師)? What needs do they meet in our computer age? We can identify at least four basic functions for the artist- all of them age-old, all expanding in complexity.

First, artists record. They give us visual images that can be preserved for historical reference. This idea is so obvious that we take it for granted, forgetting how overwhelming our ignorance otherwise would be. Were it not for artists, we would have no idea what people from the past looked like. Nor could we form any visual image of historical places and events. Before the invention of the camera in the early 19th century, artists recorded images mainly through painting, drawing, and sculpture. Today we rely more heavily on photography, cinema, and television to keep our history, but of course the people behind these media are also artists. Even with the prevalence of mechanical recording, there remains interest in the painted impression, the artist's distinctive filtering of visual appearances.

The second thing artists do is to give tangible form to the unknown. In other words, they attempt to record what cannot be seen with the eyes or what has not yet occurred. This role has been important throughout the history of art, and it is no less vital today. Ancient artists had a somewhat different list of unknowns to contend with. They puzzled over and feared such things as tormadoes, floods, eclipses, and the wrath of spirits. Even in an age when satellites predict the weather and spirits have been tamed, there still are certain unknowns, and artists still are struggling to give them tangible form. What would a nuclear holocaust be like? We do not know and dare not find out. What exists at the edge of our universe? Scientists will know eventually, but not soon. What do our dreams and nightmares really mean? None of us can analyze them definitely. These unknowns are frightening to us, just as the Thunder God must have been to our ancestors.

Third, artists give tangible form to feelings. These may be the artist's own feelings that are expressed in paint or marble or whatever the medium. But surely they are feelings shared by many people- Hlove, hate, despair, fear, exhilaration, anger. When we pay attention to the emotions a work of art evokes, we are communicating with the artist and with others who have such feelings.

Fourth, artists offer an innovative way of seeing, a unique visual“take" on the world. At a glance Rene Magritte's The Blank Cheque seems a straightforward picture of a woman riding a horse through the forest. A closer look reveals the sort of bizarre visual disruption in which Magrite delighted. Parts of the figures are hidden by trees, but other parts are hidden by the space between trees! The horse's left rear leg comes and goes, defying all natural laws. This is truly an innovative way of seeing forms in space.

To sum up, then, artists perform at least four important functions: they record, they visualize the unknown, they portray feelings, and they stretch one's ability to see. All these functions have to do with communication. Artists are about to fill these roles because they create new visual images.

41. Which of the fllowing is true about artists' functions in computer age?

A. They have been degraded.

B. They have been exaggerated.

C. The basic functions remain the same.

D. The communicative function has disappeared.

42. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?

A. Artists can't do much in recording modern history.

B. Mechanical recordings are more reliable for historical images.

C. We have no idea about the visual images of the places in the past.

D. Paintings are an important channel through which we learn about the past.

43. What does the writer think of the function of giving tangible form to the unknown?

A. It has been vital throughout history.

B. It no longer exists in modern art.

C. It is getting more important nowadays.

D. It is not as important as it used to be.

44. In what way do artists offer a unique visual“take" on the world?

A. They enable people to see things vividly in space.

B. They may disobey the natural laws in their works.

C. They visualize things that are strange and supermatural.

D. They can present what they see more straightforwardly.

45. Which of the following might be the title of this passage?

A. The Visual Images in Art

B. The Tangible Form of Art

C. The Evolution of Artists

D. The Roles of Artists

Teens and young adults often turn up the volume on their iPods or smartphones or stand near the speakers at concerts or nightclubs, all in the name of having a good time. Even if they realize this could be damaging to their hearing, what neither they nor their parents know is that this kind of behavior could be altering their brain function for life. A study in a 2018 issue of the journal eNeuro found that young adults with subtle hearing loss-- a deficit that's so slight that they' re not even aware of it (they reported they had normal hearing)--are placing demands on their brains that don't normally occur until later in life.

In the study, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging scans (磁共振成像掃描) to monitor brain actity, while healthy men and women listened to various sentences that varied in their complexity and the demands required to process and understand them. Before performing the scans, the researchers tested the participants' hearing ability and found that some of them had subtle hearing deficits, but were still clnically in the normal range. What the researchers found is that listeners with poorer hearing had activity in the right hemisphere of the brain, which was surprising because usually the left hemisphere of the brain is completely responsible for regulating and managing speech and language comprehension. And the altered brain function was still the same no matter how simple or complex the sentence structure was.

The good news is that the brain is an amazingly plastic organ, meaning it has the ability to change and adapt throughout life, explains Yune Lee, an assistant professor of chronic brain injury at Ohio State University. As people age, they begin to use more of their right frontal brain to process language, but“we don't usually see that in younger people," Lee explains. “That is worrisome because they start using up these resources too early in life. It's like withdrawing money from a retirement account too early; these resources need to be kept for later in life."

The findings are especially significant, says Sarah Sydlowski, audiology director of a Hearing Implant Program, because“hearing involves hearing sound but also processing it and extracting meaning in the brain. Exposure to loud sound can cause clinical damage to 'synaptic ribbons'- the conections between the sensory cells in the inner ear and the hearing nerve. People with this damage suffer from 'hidden hearing loss' because often they will appear to have normal hearing on a standard hearing test, yet they may complain that they have difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments."

The long-term concern is that a growing amount of evidence has shown a significant link between hearing loss and dementia. In fact, a review of studies in the June 2018 issue of Maturitas found that hearing damage at midlife is associated with a 50 percent higher risk of developing dementia later in life. The theory is“If you put all your energy into hearing, you drain cognitive resources that could be used for other things such as memory and atention," Lee says.

If you suspect that you're struggling to hear clearly or process what you hear comfortably or accurately, get your hearing checked, including your ability to hear and understand speech against background noise, Sydlowski advises. The researchers don't recommend routine hearing checks for adults, but the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association calls for adults to be checked for hearing loss every decade through age 50, then every three years after that. The sooner you detect a hearing problem, the better; that way, you can take steps to handle it, whether that means modifying your environment to minimize ditractions, adding protection for your hearing, doing auditory training (listening exercises) or considering a hearing device, Sydlowski says.

46. What is the consequence of being exposed to loud noises according to Paragraph 1?

A. Serious hearing loss occurs.

B. The brain function will change.

C. The hearing preference will change.

D. The brain becomes obviously abnormal.

47. Which of the following is the finding of the researchers in Paragraph 3?

A. When one hemisphere is damaged, the other one will be responsible for language comprehension.

B. The change in brain function may be influenced by the complexity of sentences.

C. People with poor hearing are likely to use the right hemisphere of the brain.

D. People with good hearing will draw on both right and left hemispheres.

48. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“dementia in Paragraph 6?

A. Nervous disorder.

B. Loss of cognition.

C. Physical disability.

D. Symptom of deression.

49. What should you do to protect your hearing according to the last paragraph?

A. To develop your ability to adjust to noisy environment.

B. To keep in touch with well known hearing associations.

C. To detect hearing problems as early as posible.

D. To have your hearing checked frequently.

50. Which of the following might be the title of this passage?
