• 7．The following 4 famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck's portrait to Pablo Picasso's masterpiece—have stood the test of time.
     The Amolfini Portrait
     Jan van Eyck's The Amolfini Portrait，an oil painting on wood produced in 1434，in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her，is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery，London.This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed.It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society，through van Eyck's heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business，wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
     The Starry Night
     Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night，oil on canvas（帆布），a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village，during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Remy-de-Provence，F(xiàn)rance between 1889 and 1890.When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941，it was not well known，but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.
     The Harvesters
     The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565.It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September.Nicolaes Jonghelinck，a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp，commissioned this painting.The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
     Guernica
     Guernica，a large black-and-white oil painting，was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter，Pablo Picasso in 1937.The title "Guernica" refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War.The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result，has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.Today，the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.

• 8．The term "graffiti" is an Italian word meaning scratching or scribbling（亂涂）.It entered the English language in the 1850s，specifically to describe the casual wall writing that experts found in Pompeii and the Roman tombs.Originally a term used only in ancient scribbling，the word has undergone considerable expansion of meaning in the past 75 years so that it now refers to any written message on a wall.Graffiti are characterized by their casualness；if they were more formal，they would be known as inscriptions（銘文）.
     The first piece of graffiti was found on one of the walls of the city Pompeii，which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.It was one of 1，600 pieces of graffiti uncovered in Pompeii during a dig in the 19th century.Not surprisingly，there is much evidence of graffiti writing on the pyramid and temples of ancient Egypt.It is likely that ever since people have had walls and materials to scratch or paint with，they have been engaged in this simplest form of communication.
     The writing of graffiti gives people a unique opportunity to achieve some kind of public audience.Thus short poems，declarations of love，political and revolutionary polemics（論戰(zhàn)），and criticisms of institutions and people form a significant part of graffiti.
     Apart from its usefulness in terms of self-expression，graffiti is also a valuable source for historians.There is always the possibility that historical events may be recorded by the presence of graffiti.Perhaps the most interesting example of this is the graffiti relating to the gladiatorial（角斗士的） contests held in Pompeii.Graffiti can also give us a unique view into the daily life and customs of a people，for its casual expression encourages the recording of details that more formal writing would tend to ignore.
     In the late 1970s，graffiti became popular.A thought written on a toilet wall in Wolverhampton can now be read in Chicago or Adelaide.In its own way，this is probably the most fascinating example of McLuhan's concept of "the global village". We now have a worldwide toilet wall.

  A．Graffiti has a long history.
  B．Graffiti is an attractive form of art.
  C．Graffiti made the ancient city Pompeii famous.

  A．Graffiti's great value.
  B．Graffiti's features.
  C．Graffiti's way of expression.
  D．Graffiti's connection with people's daily life.
  （3）Why is the graffiti relating to the gladiatorial contests mentioned in the passage？

  
  A．To prove graffiti can show people's customs.
  B．To prove graffiti can provide valuable historical evidence.
  C．To prove graffiti is mainly used to record important events.
  D．To prove graffiti can provide more detailed information than formal writing.
