必修第三册 UNIT 7　ART Period 2　Lesson 1　Masterpices—Reading Comprehension Masterpieces① The Starry② Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally③ ill. Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds, stars and a moon. However, he didn’t just paint the clouds.He also painted the massive④ circles of white and yellow racing across the sky. The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky. Beneath⑤ this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree. Part 1　教材原文助读 what引导宾语从句且在宾语从句中作宾语，意为“……的事物”。 ①masterpiece /'mɑːstəpiːs/ n．杰作；代表作 ②starry /'stɑːri/ adj.布满星星的 ③mentally /'mentəli/ adv.精神上；心理上 mentally ill有精神病 ④massive /'mæsIv/ adj.巨大的 ⑤beneath /bI'niːθ/ prep.& adv.在……(正)下方 代表作 《星空》是文森特·凡·高于1889年6月在一家精神病院里创作的。凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而，除了云之外，他还画了在天空中相互追逐的、巨大的白色和黄色光圈。星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片神奇的夜空下，我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗孤独的树。 His unusual use of colour has led experts to⑥ think that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected⑦ his sense of sight. He also took a drug⑧ that can make people see yellow spots⑨， just like the stars in The Starry Night. may have done表示对过去情况不肯定的推测，意思是“过去可能做了某事”。 ⑥lead sb.to do sth.促使某人做某事 ⑦affect /ə'fekt/ vt.影响 ⑧drug n．药物，药材 ⑨spot /spɒt/ n．(圆)点；斑点；污渍 他对颜色的不同寻常的使用使得专家们认为凡·高的精神疾病可能影响了他的视觉。他还服用过药物，这种药可以让人看到黄色斑点，就像《星空》中的星星那样。 Unfortunately, Van Gogh’s unique⑩ paintings weren’t very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime⑪. He also thought The Starry Night was a failure⑫. However, the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world’s most famous paintings. 画线部分为固定句型“the fact remains that...”，意为“事实是……，真实的情况是……”，用于强调所说的某一情况为事实，人们必须意识到。 ⑩unique adj.独特的；唯一的 ⑪in one’s lifetime在某人的一生中 ⑫failure /'feIljə/ n．失败的事；失败 当failure表示一件具体失败的事时，为可数名词。类似用法的还有success, beauty, honour, pride等。 不幸的是，凡·高独特的画作在当时并不是很受欢迎，他有生之年只卖出了一幅画。他还认为《星空》是一幅失败的作品。然而，事实是《星空》现在是世界最著名的画作之一。 The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893.What makes it striking⑬ is that it shows a thin figure⑭ with an expression of fear—the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream⑮. The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer⑯. This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning⑰ orange-red sky. 画线部分中what引导的是主语从句，what在从句中作主语。that引导表语从句。 ⑬striking /'straIkIŋ/ adj.惊人的；显著的 a striking feature显著的特征 ⑭figure /'fIɡə/ n．人像，人形；数字 the latest trade/sales figures最新的贸易/销售数据 ⑮scream /skriːm/ n．尖叫，尖叫声 vi.& vt.高声喊出 let out a scream发出尖叫声 ⑯viewer /'vjuːə/ n．观看者 ⑰burning /'bɜːnIŋ/ adj.燃烧着的 《呐喊》是爱德华·蒙克于1893年创作的。使这幅画富有冲击力的是画中有一个表情恐惧的瘦弱身影——嘴巴大张，正发出强烈的尖叫声。这个人捂住了自己的耳朵，直直地看向观众。人物被设置在一座桥上，桥下是漆黑的、翻滚的海面，背景是燃烧的橙红色天空。 In his diary, Munch talked about what inspired him. “I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set⑱； suddenly the sky turned as red as blood...I stood there shaking. Then I heard the scream of nature.” 画线部分为“Sb.was doing...when...”句型，意为“某人正在做某事，(这时)突然……”。 画线部分为“as...as...”结构，表示“与……一样”。 ⑱set vi.(日，月)落山，落下 We sat and watched the sun setting.我们坐着看太阳渐渐落下去。 蒙克在他的日记中谈到了灵感的来源，“太阳落山时， 我和两个朋友一起走在路上；天空突然变得像血一样红……我站在那里颤抖……然后听到了大自然的尖叫声。” Many experts say that The Scream is connected to⑲ Munch’s mental health problems，which caused⑳ him a lot of pain. ⑲be connected to与……有联系；与……有关联 ⑳cause /kɔːz/ vt.导致，引起；使发生 n．原因；事业 the cause of...……的原因 许多专家表示，《呐喊》 与蒙克的心理健康问题有关，这给他带来了很多痛苦。 The Empire㉑of Light is among a series of㉒ paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte between 1953 and 1954.He painted the same scene㉓ 27 times. It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night.What is strange is that above the house and the tree, we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.It seems like quite a mysterious㉔ scene. 本句为主从复合句。其中“What is strange”为what引导的主语从句；“that above...clouds”为that引导的表语从句。 ㉑empire /'empaIə/ n．帝国；大企业 ㉒a series of一系列的，一连串的 ㉓scene /siːn/ n．景色 ㉔mysterious /mI'stIəriəs/ adj.神秘的；难以解释的 mystery n．秘密，神秘；神秘的事物 《灯之王国》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特于1953年至1954年间创作的系列绘画作品之一。他把同一场景画了27次。画中有一座美丽的房子，房子里充满了灯光，外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是，在房子和树木之上，我们看到了明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这看起来是一个非常神秘的场景。 Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas. His paintings were visual㉕ experiments as he tried to㉖ play with reality.His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of reality． 本句为主从复合句。其中，that引导的是表语从句。 ㉕visual /'vIʒuəl/ adj.视觉的，视力的 ㉖try to do sth.尽力/设法做某事 We should try to save water.我们应设法节约用水。 马格利特是一位受到自己的思想和想法启发的画家。由于他尝试戏谑现实，他的画作是一个个视觉实验。他认为艺术应该震撼观众并挑战他们对现实的感知。 The Empire of Light has produced different reactions㉗ in viewers. Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling. Others, however, find them calming. As for㉘ Magritte himself, he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising.“I call this power poetry，” he said. ㉗reaction /ri'ækʃən/ n．反应 reaction to...对……的反应 Reaction to the visit is mixed.人们对这次访问的反应不一。 ㉘as for至于，关于 As for me, I’m very satisfied. 至于我，我感到非常满意。 《灯之王国》在观众中产生了不同的反应。有些人觉得这些画看起来很黑暗，令人不安。而有些人则觉得这些画让人感到平静。马格利特本人认为画作中白天和黑夜之间的变化令人惊讶。他说：“我称之为诗意的力量。” 1．Match the main ideas with the paragraphs.

Simonova fell in love with sand art “absolutely accidentally”．Her husband, a theatre director, advised her to give it a try.Over time, she has unstoppably taken the web by storm.“I never thought it would turn out to be what it is now，” says Simonova. In Follow your Dreams, Simonova told a heartfelt story honoring the love between a mother and her son—using only the sand in her hands.In only a couple of minutes, a phone turns into a house, then into two faces, then into a boy looking out of the window... The art Simonova creates is magical; however, the medium she uses is quite common.“It is ordinary river sand.There was a time when I did use the volcanic one, but actually it makes no difference.What truly matters in a performance is the storyline that is effectively communicated in the theatre through the medium of sand，” explains Simonova. The images created by the artist live only for a few seconds.However, Simonova is not in any way alarmed by the momentary character of sand art.“I know that my creations exist only for a while, but I believe that to be absolutely normal because art mirrors life.We live every moment of our life, but it’s not possible to repeat those.The same is the case with what I do，” Simonova adds. Sand art helps the artist to see the world in a new way, painting ever-changing life in every grain of sand.

Some experts often pass warnings about how much oral tradition the human race loses to modernity every year.In Ireland, a country famous for its singers, the Song Collectors Collective (SCC) celebrates that history by honoring the people who have kept its roots alive.Most of them are from the reclusive (隐居的) traveler communities.Rather than simply collecting words, each song can be accessed only by exploring the life and story of the person who sang it for the SCC, or the so-called “Tradition Bearer”． Take Freda Black, for example, a great-grandmother in her mid-eighties.She kept so many songs that she admitted she couldn’t possibly count them.She would go on to feature in the recently released album by a modern folk singer and SCC member, Sam Lee.“I love spending time at the knee of these elders，” Lee said.“I am very lucky.I catch an end of an era.” “It is a common request for the songs and stories to be recorded and shared as the old ways are not being passed on and this huge store of knowledge of an ancient way of life is forgotten.In the current era of accessible recording technology, there is no excuse for not documenting and sharing this rich but fragile (脆弱的) tradition，” wrote the SCC.Having collected hundreds of recordings from dozens of singers, the SCC is beginning to host educational events, sharing the stories and singing voices for those interested in hearing them, as well as how people can become collectors in their own way. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了爱尔兰一个名为“歌曲收集者联盟”的团体，他们致力于拯救和保存那些即将消失的传统歌曲和故事。 5．How do those young Irish musicians save the tradition of songs? A．By spreading their new music styles. B．By recording old folk songs and related stories. C．By teaching young people to learn traditional songs. D．By improving the living conditions of elderly musicians. 答案：B 5 6 7 8 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Rather than simply collecting words, each song can be accessed only by exploring the life and story of the person who sang it for the SCC, or the so-called ’Tradition Bearer’．”可知，SCC的那些年轻的爱尔兰音乐家是通过记录古老的民歌和相关的故事来保护这些歌曲的传统。故选B。 5 6 7 8 6．What can we infer from Sam Lee’s words? A．He is glad to keep a valuable tradition of music. B．His latest album carries the memory of his grandma. C．He is lucky to have got some help in learning music. D．His music is inspired by conversations with Freda Black. 答案：A 5 6 7 8 解析：推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“‘I love spending time at the knee of these elders，’ Lee said.’I am very lucky.I catch an end of an era.’”可知，这些话语表达了他对于能够接触到和保留这些传统音乐的感激和欣喜，由此可以推断，他很高兴能保持有价值的音乐传统。故选A。 5 6 7 8 7．What further promotes the SCC’s protection of the oral tradition? A．Market demand. B．The support of famous musicians. C．High praise from the elderly. D．Technological progress. 答案：D 5 6 7 8 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“In the current era of accessible recording technology, there is no excuse for not documenting and sharing this rich but fragile tradition”可知，技术进步进一步推动了SCC保护口述传统。故选D。 5 6 7 8 8．Which of the following can best describe the SCC’s work?
