15、epresentation(描绘)of a person,especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.”However,this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture.Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness.These concepts of identity involve social rank,gender,age,p

16、rofession,character of the subject,etc.It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity.Therefore,portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects.Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice.The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions an

17、d favored styles.Therefore,portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social,psychological,and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories,they are worthy of separate study.During their production,portraits require the presence o

18、f a specific person,or an image of the individual.In many instances,the production of portraiture has required sittings,which result in interaction between the subject(s)and the artist throughout the creation of the work.In certain instances,portrait artists depended on a combination of different in

19、volvement with their subjects.If the sitter cant sit in the studio regularly,portraitists could use his or her photographs.InEurope,during the seventeenth and eighteenth century,the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head.Theoretically,portraitists could work from impressio

20、ns or memories when creating a painting,but this rarely occurred according to documented records.Nonetheless,whether the work is based on model sittings,copying a photograph,or using memory,the process of painting a portrait is linked with the models attendance.Furthermore,portrait painting can be d

21、istinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance,or likeness.As such,the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation.Based on Renaissance art theory,portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to

22、 a fine art.Michelangelos well-known protest against portraits is only one example.During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,the attitude to portraiture was critical.Even so,artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections.Picasso,for example,bec

23、ame widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画)early in his career,but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.8.What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B.Most portraits reflect a

24、rtistic fashions and favored styles when created.C.Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.D.Portrait art shouldnt be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.9.Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?A.Portraiture t

28、 be solved.Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant.(Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.)One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either th

29、e North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage.Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried,moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers,mathematicians,and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considerin

30、g the iceberg as a future source of water.Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage.Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg(about 1/2 square mile)to Saudi Arabia.Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the

31、 104th day.Therefore,insulation would be essential,but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous.The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull.The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of thei

32、r shape.Only a small portion extends above the water most of the iceberg is below the surface,which would make it difficult to pull.South Pole icebergs,on the other hand,are flat and float like table tops.Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved.No ship is st

33、rong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water.Perhaps several ships could be used.Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem.Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice.What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pie

34、ces during the pulling.Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen,how could it be pulled through stormy waters.Furthermore,once the iceberg reached its destination,very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable so

35、urce of water.Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future.Each year,enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year.In addition,icebergs are free and nonpolluting.As a solution to the worlds water problems,icebergs may be a wo
