小题1:____________________________
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than it is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.
小题2:____________________________
In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors---or of people very different from our own---can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.
小题3:____________________________
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects subjective emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros---as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martins---depicted（描述）these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.
小题4:____________________________
In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical（圣经的）stories in the pictures on church walls.
小题5:____________________________
By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This shows the Islamic belief that statues are unholy. Something else can be more religiously symbolic in history.

3. objective information 客观信息，subjective（思想，感情等） 主观的，文章开头，在一些历史书中只能呈现一个国家政治生活的客观信息，而很少涉及到人们的观点。相反，艺术却是主观的，它能反映情感和观点。Emotions 情感，感情。Opinions 观点，想法。故选C
4．第四段的第一句话，In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs.同样，艺术能够反映文化的宗教信仰。所以选B
5. 第四段中，Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. 教堂和一些宗教建筑贴满了画，画的内容反映了圣经中的人物和故事。第五段中，By contrast“相反”可知这段和上段构成鲜明的对比，absence 名词，“缺少”statues “雕像”A选项中images也有“雕像，图像”的意思，综合以上选A.
