21、 it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris, Venice, Florence, and above all, Rome, as the culmination (终极) of their classical education. Thus was born the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice which introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also Americans to the art and cultur
22、e of France and Italy for the next 300 years. Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period, possible only for a privileged class the same that produced gentlemen scientists, authors, antique experts, and patrons of the arts.The Grand Tourist was typically a young man with a thorough grounding
23、 in Greek and Latin literature as well as some leisure time, some means, and some interest in art. The German traveler Johann Winckelmann pioneered the field of art history with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman sculpture; he was portrayed by his friend Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning
24、of his long residence in Rome. Most Grand Tourists, however, stayed for briefer periods and set out with less scholarly intentions, accompanied by a teacher or guardian, and expected to return home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an understanding of art and architecture formed by exposure
25、 to great masterpieces.London was a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists, and Paris a compulsory destination; many traveled to the Netherlands, some to Switzerland and Germany, and a very few adventurers to Spain, Greece, or Turkey. The essential place to visit, however, was Italy. The British
26、 traveler Charles Thompsonspoke for many Grand Tourists when in 1744 he described himself as “being impatiently desirous of viewing a country so famous in history, a country which once gave laws to the world, and which is at present the greatest school of music and painting, contains the noblest pro
27、ductions of sculpture and architecture, and is filled with cabinets of rarities, and collections of all kinds of historical relics”. Within Italy, the great focus was Rome, whose ancient ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist. Paninis Ancient Rome and Modem Rome represe
28、nt the sights most prized, including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins, fountains, and churches. Since there were few museums anywhere in Europe before the close of the eighteenth century, Grand Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collec
29、tions, and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections. In England, where architecture was increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit, noblemen often applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative (唤起回忆的) ruins
30、 of Rome to their own country houses and gardens.41.What is said about the Grand Tour?A)It was fashionable among young people of the time.B)It was unaffordable for ordinary people.C)It produced some famous European artists.D)It made a compulsory part of college education.42.What did Grand Tourists h

35、a and Texas are the twin poles of the West, but very different onesFor most of the 20th century the home of Silicon Valley and Hollywood has been the brainier and trendier of the twoTexas has trailed behind: its stereotype has beenaconservative Christian in cowboy boots But twins can change places I
36、s that happening now?It is easy to find evidence that California is in a panic. At the start of this month the once golden state started paying creditors in IOUs (欠条)The gap between projected outgoings and income for the current fiscal (财政的) year has leapt to horrible $26 billionWith no sign of a ne

40、enough in education, and many experts rightly worry about a lost generation of mostly Hispanic Texans with insufficient skills for the demands of the knowledge economySecond, it has never paid to bet against a state with as many inventive people as CaliforniaEven if Hollywood has gone into depressio
41、n, it still boasts an unequalled array of sunrise industries and the most brisk venture-capital industry on the planetThe state also has an awesome ability to reinvent itself-as it did when its defence industry collapsed at the end of the cold warThe truth is that both states could learn from each o
42、ther Texas still lacks Californias great universities and lags in terms of cultureCalifornia could adopt not just Texass leaner state, but also its more bipartisan approach to politics There is no perfect model of government: it is Americas genius to have 50 public-policy laboratories competing to f
