Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists．No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change-to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before． Landscape（风景） is another unchanging element of art．It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists．In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice．Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before．Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees．In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background．He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography（摄影术） to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom． Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another．The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests．To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods． Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant．Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience．Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings． 71．The underlined word “poetry” most probably means __________． A．an object for artistic creation B．a collection of poems C．an unusual quality D．a natural scene 72．Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because ___________． A．they are close in style to works in ancient times B．they look like works by 19th-century painters C．they draw attention to common things in life D．they depend heavily on color photography
73．What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality? A．It will not be found in future works of art． B．It does not have a long-lasting standard． C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form． D．It is lacking in modern works of art．
74．What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph? A．They express people’s curiosity about the past． B．They make people interested in everyday experience． C．They are considered important for variety in form． D．They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation． 75．Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A．History of the arts． B．Basic questions of the arts． C．New developments in the arts． D．Use of modern technology in the arts．

The topic of my speech today is “Do trust us—a generation born in the 90s”． Living in an environment full of fiercer competition, we, a generation born in the 90s, are faced with more problems in entering higher schools and getting employed．Under these circumstances, we are developing our special manners and values, which has raised people’s concern． They worry we care too much about ourselves and are unwilling to cooperate with others, which makes it hard for us to achieve success in whatever we do．Besides, they consider us as lacking in determination, and this is what it takes to do any job well．Without it, we may easily give up in time of difficulty．They are also concerned that we are so eager to win instant fame that we follow fashion blindly, which will in turn ruin our values and future． However, we, a generation born in the 90s, have our own advantages despite some weaknesses．Firstly, we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks, which helps realize our dreams．In addition, we are quick-minded and creative．We can do our work more efficiently．Yet,
