1.听写包 答案：

Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class.

As you know, portrait artists often position their subjects so that their head is turned a little to one side,
thereby presenting the artist with a semi-side view, a semi-profile view.
And for some reason, western European artists have historically tended to show the left-side of the subject’s face, more than the right.
A while back, some researchers examine about 1500 portraits painted from the 16th to the 20th century in Western Europe.
And in the majority of them, it’s the left side of the face that’s most prominently displayed.
Why is that? And interesting enough, this tendency to show the left side has diminished over time, especially in the 20th century.
In fact, the left-right ratio is now about 1:1---50% left, 50% right. Why is that?
We do know that for many artists, the choice of left side, right side was very important.
There is an image by the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh called the Potato Eaters that shows the profiles of a group of farmers.
It’s a lithograph, which is a print made from images drawn on a stone.
请听艺术史课上的部分内容。
你们也知道，肖像画家通常会给他们的模特定一个姿势，这样他们的头就会稍微转向一边，
从而给画家呈现出一个半边的画面，一个半侧面的画面。
出于某种原因，西欧画家历史上更愿意展示模特的左脸，而不是右脸。
前阵子，一些研究人员查看了西欧16世纪到20世纪创作的1500幅肖像画。
它们中大多数最突出展示的都是左边的脸。
为什么呢？而且有趣的是，这个展示左脸的趋势随着时间的流逝减少了，尤其是在20世纪。
事实上，现在左右的比率大概是1:1，50%左脸，50%右脸，这又是为什么呢？
我们确实知道的是，对很多画家来说，左右边的选择非常重要。
荷兰画家梵高画了一幅叫做Potato Eaters的画，展示的是一群农民的侧脸。
它采用了石印术，也就是从画在石头上的图画制作而成的画作。

3.写作包答案：

Dongting Lake is a large, shallow lake in northeastern Hunan province, China. It is a flood basin of the Yangtze River. Hence, the lake's size largely depends on the season. The provinces of Hubei and Hunan are named after their location relative to the lake. Hubei means "North of the Lake" and Hunan, "South of the Lake". Dongting Lake is famous in Chinese culture as the birthplace of dragon boat racing, which is said to have begun on the eastern shores of Dongting Lake as a search for the body of Qu Yuan, the Chu poet (340-278 BC). Together with the lake and its surrounding beauty, the racing appeals to thousands of tourists from other parts of China and beyond each year.
