true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 3 0 less than that for any other planet
-The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot It has shown variations in both intensity andcolor, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years At its greatest extent it may be40,000 kilometers long an 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth Though thelatitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude Over the past century the total longitudinal drift hasamounted to approximately 12000 The latitude is generally very close to -220 It was once thought that the RedSpot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter’s outer gas However, the Pioneer and Voyager resultshave refuted that idea and proven the Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology Its longevity maywell be due to its exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent.Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted

LISTENING:
Trang 11Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one of the few ways to record likenesses From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century The demand for
likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for artists Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons For example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S House of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery
A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey these
indicators of character These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but they were
important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made for posterity
Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high
Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, compositions and
gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England Even canvas sizes followed the British example Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and the materials and labor involved
In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire commissions from
the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in order to succeed at home Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux and Sargent went to studythere Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates
66 What does the passage mainly discussed?
A art in 19th century America
B portraiture in 19th century America
C the early years of photography
D the influence of other countries on American art
67 Which of the following statements best represents the meaning of the first sentence (lines1 and 2) before photography was invented in 1839?
A painted portraits and engravings were very lifelike
B there was no accurate way to record a likeness before photography was invented
C there were not many ways other than painted portraits and engravings if you wanted to record what somebody looked like.
D engravings were based on portraits and not as lifelike
68 Why does the author mention Davy Crocket in paragraph 1?
A as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work
B because Crocket was also a famous artist
C as an example of the types of people who could afford to pay for their portrait to be painted
D because gallery owners often had famous people as patrons
69 In paragraph 2, what did people look for in a good portrait?
A clear facial expressions
B an accurate likeness
C indicators of character
D every detail, including bumps on the head
70 Physiognomy and phrenology are theories ………
A that are no longer as popular
B that were used to enable people to select artists with the best characteristics in their appearance
C that meant people usually only needed one portrait
D that were used to try to get the closet likeness possible
