A.但丁

B.拉斐尔

C.彼特拉克

D.薄伽丘

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

本题是否定式选择题,运用逆向思维即可,ACD三位人物都属于“文学复兴”的代表人物,而拉斐尔是意大利“美术三杰”之一,属于“艺术复兴”而不属于“文学复兴”的代表人物,因此B符合题意。

考点:本题考查文艺复兴。

点评:文艺复兴主要成就:

(1)文学(“文学三杰”):①薄伽丘,代表作:《十日谈》,抨击封建道德和教会的禁欲思想,宣传人类平等,主张发展人的个性。②但丁,代表作:《神曲》,率先对教会的丑恶现象表达了憎恶。③彼特拉克:代表作《歌集》,最早以“人的学问”代替“神的学问”,被称为“人文主义之父”。

(2)艺术(“美术三杰”):拉斐尔(擅长画圣母像)、米开朗琪罗(代表作:雕像《大卫》)和达•芬奇(代表作:《蒙娜丽莎》《最后的晚餐》)。

(3)16世纪以后,传播到欧洲其它国家。如英国出现了卓越的戏剧家莎士比亚,代表作为《哈姆雷特》,他热情讴歌人的伟大和高贵,称人是“宇宙的精华,万物的灵长”。

The centerpiece of curling(冰壶)is the curling stone, which has been called a “geometrical masterpiece of tooled geology (地质). ” Kays of Scotland has been making curling stones since 1851, when William Kay and his sons Andrew and Thomas set up a workshop in Mauchline, Ayrshire , in southwest Scotland. Kays is still owned by the relatives of the founder, and today it is the only curling stone maker left in Scotland.

Used in a highly competitive sport, the curling stones are made to exact standards. First, stones are sliced and then into round “cheeses”. Finally , the cheeses are shaped and polished into curling stones in a series of precise steps.

Each stone must weigh 44 pounds. Each must have a maximum diameter (直径) of 36 inches. Polishing is done by hand on a wheel using water, diamond-talcum power, and felt. Finishing the stone’s “running edge” is done entirely by hand with a special kind of paper and a digital measure and magnifying glass (放大镜). Lastly, a handle is fitted into holes on the top of the stone. Stones are computer-matched into pairs. Sixteen stones -8pairs-are needed for a game, and since curling game field usually have 6 lanes, each game field needs 96 matched stones!

Kays is a small firm, employing than ten skilled workers. Master craftsman and co-owner James Wyllie is skilled at all phases of curling stone making and is also an enthusiastic curler, as well as active member of Mauchline’s Burns Club, which meets regularly to honor well-known Mauchline residents.
