Passage Two
Questi ons 51 to 55 are based on the follow ing passage. Begi nning in the late sixtee nth cen tury, it became fashi on able 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 in troduced En glishme n, Germa ns, Scandin avia ns, and also America ns to the art and culture 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 gro unding in Greek and Lati n literature as well as some leisure time, some means, and some in terest 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 begi nning of his long reside nee 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 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 adve nturers to Spain, Greece, or Turkey. The esse ntial place to visit, however, was Italy. The British traveler Charles Thomps on spoke 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 product ions of sculpture and

architecture, and is filled with cab in ets of rarities, and collect ions of all kinds of historical relics ” . With in Italy, the great focus
was Rome, whose ancient ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist. Panini ' s Ancient Rome and Modem Rome represent the sights most prized, including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins, fountains, and
churches. Since there were few museums any where in Europe before the close of the eightee nth cen tury, Grand Tourists often saw pain ti ngs and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections, and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections. In England, where architecture was in creas in gly see n as an aristocratic pursuit, n obleme n ofte n applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative (唤起回忆的 )ruins of Rome to their own country houses and garde ns.

Part I Writi ng (30 min utes)
Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to major in scienee
or huma nities at college, write an essay to state your opinion. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
【参考范文】
Whether to Major in Science or Huma nities at College? Nowadays, as the whole society place increasingly considerable value on education, the question of whether to major in scienee or humanities at college is not only a concern for stude nts, but also a focal point for pare nts. Some believe that to dig into
scienee is a better choice because it promises us a brighter future; others may hold the opposite view that humanity knowledge is the foundation of huma nity quality.
As for me, both arguments are justified. However, I believe that the important thing is not about which subject is better, what matters most is people who will have to make the decisi on. In other words, we should not lay on e-sided emphasis on the adva ntages of either subject; on the con trary, the stude nts themselves, their interests and preferences, pros and cons are supposed to be taken into consideration.
For example, if a student is more adept at humanity and that ' s where his real in terests lie, the n he should dedicate to the study on huma ni ty.
Whether to major in scienee or humanities is a critical choice for every student because its result has a profo und in flue nee on pers onal career developme nt and life style. Thus we should figure out what we really care about so as not to put the cart before the horse.
