地景艺术始于20世纪60年代地大物博的美国，今天，现代地景艺术作品可以在世界各地看到。地景艺术经历了发展变化和兴衰。 Land Art，sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks，is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art，taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s，when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today，works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world，sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago. Land Art，which is not necessarily unchangeable，can take a number of forms.For example，in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋码头)，made of a collection of stones and mud，in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake. Reshaping the landscape is a common feature of Land Art.It can be created by moving components around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art，like salt，which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases，Land Art is immovable. Land Art is designed to evolve，change，and eventually decay.That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they evolve and decay over time，which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artist. 【词汇积累】 1．spiral adj.　螺旋形的 2．components n. 组成部分 3．evolve v. 演变；逐步发展 4．reshape vt. 改造；重新整形(修整) 5．decay v. 腐蚀；衰退；消失 Part Ⅰ　Welcome to the unit & Reading—Reading Step 1　Pre-reading Ⅰ.Please match the words with their proper meanings. 1.wander 2．gallery 3．decade 4．neighbourhood 5．strike 6．dominate 7．vivid 8．display 9．employ 10．realistic A.put sth.on show B．a room or series of rooms where works of art are exhibited C．deliver a sharp blow，with the hand，fist，or weapon D．clear，lively，lifelike E．go from place to place wi
