The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.

History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.

In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.

Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.

1.According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?

A.It introduces different cultural values.

B.It explains the history of artistic works.

C.It relates artistic values to local conditions.

D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.

2.In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____    .

A.great works of art can go beyond national boundaries

B.history gives art works special appeal to set them apart

C.popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts

D.great artists are skilled at combining various cultures

3.According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____     .

A.they are results of scientific study

B.they establish some general principles of art

C.they are created by the world’s greatest artists

D.they appeal to unchanging features of human nature

4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

A.Are Artistic Values Universal?

B.Are Popular Arts Permanent?

C.Is Human Nature Uniform?

D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?

    Scientists have discovered that rats have adapted to modern human life, even adapting their diets to the cities they live in.

The scientists claim that it could be possible that humans and rats have had similar changes in their genetic make-up, due to modern city life. The downside of the changes in the DNA is that they could make rats susceptible to the same health problems as humans, such as pollutants and sugary foods.

The study showed that rats’ diets have also adapted to their environment. In New York, you can see them eat bagels and beer; in Paris, they like croissants and butter. They adapt in amazing ways. The scientists also analyzed the genomes (基因组)of 29 New York rats and compared them with those of nine brown rats from Heilongjiang Province, north-east China. The finding showed that dozens of rat genes had been through major DNA changes over the centuries, as the rats spread from Asia to Europe and America, and from the countryside and into cities.

The changed genes were associated with diet, behavior, and movement, which added pressures and challenges for the rat to overcome. This could reflect the fact that urban rats have to move through highly artificial environments that are very different from natural habitats. So these gene changes might have evolved to help them move more easily through underground channels and pipes.

As the rats are closely associated with city-living humans, the scientists believe that it is possible that similar changes have happened in both species.

In October 2019, scientists used rats to successfully test an enzyme() that could be used to help people quit smoking. Two groups of rats were trained to self-administer nicotine, and over two weeks their nicotine intakes increased, suggesting addiction. Then, one group of rats was given the enzyme, which led to a decreased nicotine intake. The scientists say that the enzyme could be developed for human use in the future.

1.Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase “susceptible to” in paragraph 2?

A.Not likely to be cured of. B.Being disease-resistant to.

C.Very likely to be affected by. D.Being thoroughly exposed to.

2.What does the author intend to show in the third paragraph?

A.Rats in the city are particular about their food.

B.Rats in different cities have different genetic make-up.

C.Rats are distributed in every continent of the earth.

D.Rats have been adjusting themselves to the environment.

3.What is the purpose of testing an enzyme on rats?

A.To explore rats’ survival ability. B.To help people stop smoking.

C.To learn more about city rats. D.To tell apart nicotine and enzyme.

4.What is the best title of this text?

A.Rats Have Adapted to Modern Human Life

B.Rats in the City Have Varieties of Diets

C.Rats Are More Adaptable than Humans

D.Rats Have the Same Genetic Make-up to Humans
