今年的考研英语出了一个文艺复兴Renaissance的单词，很多同学表示这比雅思词汇还有挑战，具体题目是什么，大家来看下：

　　With (the gap between) the church's teachings and ways of thinking being eclipsed by the Renaissance, the gap between the medieval and modern periods had been bridged, leading to new and unexplored intellectual territories.

　　这段话的大意：文艺复兴使教会的教育和思维方式黯然失色，消除了中世纪和现代之间的鸿沟，同时带来新的、尚未发掘的领域。

　　下面新东方网雅思频道为大家整理了雅思写作范文：艺术家的自由，供考生们参考，以下是详细内容。

　　Creative artists should be given freedom to express their ideas (words, pictures, music and films. However some people think government should take some restriction with them. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Give your reasons with own knowledge and give examples.

　　The responsibility of an artist is to create artworks to cater for people’s needs for aesthesis and enjoyment. Some masterpieces by the world-renowned artists like Shakespeare, the greatest poet in British literature; Vinci, the most famous Italian painter, architect and sculptor impress the people around the world deeply. From my point of view, the government should not give restrictions to artists. On the contrary, their creativity and innovation should be encouraged. (71 words)

　　Creativity is the source of arts. The development of literature is a very vivid illustration. From Classicism to Romanticism, from Renaissances to Realism, from Humanity to Post-modernism, (从古典主义到浪漫主义，从文艺复兴到现实主义，从人文主义到后现代主义) all the styles of literature reflect people’s thinking and have epoch-making significance. Suppose there were only one style of literature, people would not appreciate so abundant poetry and novels and our world would become so monotonous.

　　Furthermore, restrictions on creativity will arouse tragedies, one of which is “Burn books and bury the literati in pits” (焚书坑儒) in Chinese history launched by Emperor Qin Shihuang, who buried the Confucian scholars alive and prohibited the dissemination of Confucian. Another tragedy was started by Emperor Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, who killed many creative artists and intellectuals, undermining the literal development and distorting the development of humanity. History proves that only when a government encourages people to express their own idea and thought freely, can its country make progress and prosper.

　　Finally, I will quote a classic sentence from a famous article entitled “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” by Patrick Henry, the greatest writer in American history, “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” (不自由，勿宁死!)
