　　musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to have

　　asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his

　　request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started

　　to practice.

　　Angie O’Edema·42 minutes ago

　　I don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone. I left my seat quietly, giving him some privacy to finish his conversation. He realized this and apologised to me. When his phone rang again later, he left his seat to answer it. You see, a bit of respect and cooperation can do the job better.

　　There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.

　　Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.

　　The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.

　　In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.

　　Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

　　48. What does the underlined word "They" refer to

　　A. Flooded watersB. Wildlife journey

　　C. Safari campsD. Unique rides

　　49. What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari

　　A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.

　　B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.

　　C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.

　　D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.

　　50. What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean

　　A. Wild and romanticB. Slow and peaceful

　　C. Hurry and thirstyD. Active and excited

　　The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.

　　History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.

　　In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.

　　Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.

　　52. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism

　　A. It introduces different cultural values.

　　B. It explains the history of artistic works.

　　C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.

　　D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.

　　53. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____ .

　　A. great works of art can go beyond national boundaries

　　B. history gives art works special appeal to set them apart

　　C. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts

　　D. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures

　　54. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____ .

　　A .they are results of scientific study
