　　Renaissance is a French word.It means “rebirth”.It’s a strange name for a period of history.What was it that was “reborn” during the Renaissance?

　　To answer this question,we need to look back at the time of the Roman Empire.At this time Roman artists,scientists and writers influenced by Greek ideas were the world’s most advanced.They had become skilled observers of the natural world around them,and had become experts in studying animals,plants,the human body or the stars and planets.They wrote down their ideas about what they saw,and based their theories about the world on their observations.

　　During the fourth and fifth centuries the Roman Empire slowly broke down.Many of the Romans’ art and sculptures were destroyed and some manuscripts(原稿) were lost as well.But most importantly,some of the ancient attitudes were lost.A questioning approach to the world was replaced by an unquestioning one.

　　Why did this happen?One reason was to do with the influence of the Christian Church.Through the thousand years following the fall of the Roman Empire,the Church controlled many aspects of life including education and learning.The Church ran all the universities and thought that the aim of a university should be to teach old ideas more clearly,not to introduce new ones.The scholars in the universities were expected to study God and heaven from the Bible and ancient books,rather than the world around them.

　　Take medicine,for example.The main textbook for doctors had been written by a Greek doctor called Galen more than a thousand years earlier.But when Roger Bacon,a thirteenth-century priest(牧师),said that a new approach to medicine was needed—doctors should do their own original research instead of reading writers from the past such as Galen—the Church put him in prison.

　　By the time of the fourteenth century,however,some parts of the Christian Church were becoming less strict about their ideas and there was a new state of mind among artists,doctors and scientists.People wanted to find out more about the world by studying it.This attitude of investigation had been common in classical scholars,and it was ‘reborn’ during the Renaissance.

　　【语篇导读】本文是说明文。“文艺复兴”一词来源于法语,意为“重生”,那么在文艺复兴时期重生的是什么呢?本文给出了答案。

　　1.We know from the text that scientists at the time of the Roman Empire believed in 　. 

　　A.their companions’ observations

　　B.what they saw with their own eyes

　　C.what they learned from the Greeks

　　D.the most advanced theories at that time

　　答案:B

　　解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“skilled observers”及“They wrote down their ideas about what they saw,and based their theories about the world on their observations.”可知,罗马帝国时期的科学家们善于观察,他们相信自己看到的,并基于自己的观察建立理论。

　　2.We can infer that students in the Church-controlled universities might 　. 

　　A.have good memories B.change their beliefs

　　C.be lacking in creativity D.be interested in astronomy

　　答案:C

　　解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the aim of a university should be to teach old ideas more clearly,not to introduce new ones...study God and heaven from the Bible and ancient books,rather than the world around them”可知,在教会控制下的大学里,学生们只是机械地学习已有的知识,不去探究周围的世界,这样教育出来的学生必然缺乏创造力。

　　3.Roger Bacon was put in prison because he 　. 

　　A.gave up being a priest B.challenged the Church

　　C.did some research secretly D.showed no respect for Galen

　　答案:B

　　解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,在教会的影响下,当时主要使用的医学教科书是一千多年前盖伦写的。罗杰·培根对此提出了反对意见,他认为医生应该自己做研究,而不是阅读过去某个人写的著作。正是因为罗杰·培根提出了与教会倡导相悖的意见,所以他被关进了监狱。

　　4.The text probably comes from a book about 　. 

　　A.medicine B.history

　　C.religion D.education

　　答案:B

　　解析:文章出处题。通读全文可知,本文回答了“在文艺复兴时期重生的是什么”的问题。有关文艺复兴的话题属于历史的范畴,故选B项。

　　Ⅱ.完形填空
