Section Ⅳ　Extended reading & Project Qingming Scroll 清明上河图 Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Scroll is a masterwork of Chinese art. 张择端的《清明上河图》是中国艺术的一大杰作。 •Painted on a five­metre­long silk scroll, it offers an important insight into life in China in the 12th century. 这幅画绘在5米长的绢布卷轴上，让我们得以深入了解12世纪中国的生活面貌。 It is commonly believed that the city described in the painting is Bianjing (present­day Kaifeng), the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. 人们普遍认为，画中描绘的城市是汴京(现在的开封)，即北宋的首都。 The ancient scroll has survived the test of time remarkably well, and is currently housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing. 这幅古老的画卷很好地经受住了时间的考验，目前收藏在北京故宫博物院。 ①scroll n. 长卷纸，卷轴 ②insight n. 洞悉，了解；洞察力，领悟 ③Painted on ... scroll为过去分词短语作状语，paint与其逻辑主语it为被动关系。 The scroll consists of three main sections. 该画卷由三个主要部分组成。 The first section presents a peaceful scene of rural life near Bianjing, featuring crop fields, a river winding through the landscape, and farmers hard at work. 第一部分展现了汴京附近宁静的乡村生活，以农田、蜿蜒穿行的河流和辛勤劳作的农民为特色。 The second section shows the riverbanks and the central bridge alive with activity as boats sail in and out of Bianjing. 第二部分展示了船只进出汴京时，河岸和中心桥的活动热闹非凡。 Civilians can also be seen walking through the city gate in both directions. 也可以看到市民从两个方向穿过城门。 ④crop n. 庄稼，作物；收成，产量 ⑤wind vi.& vt. 蜿蜒，迂回；上发条；缠绕 ⑥sail vi.& vt. (乘船)航行；起航；驾驶(船只)；飘，掠　n. 帆；乘船航行 ⑦civilian n. 平民，老百姓，庶民 The third and final section pictures life inside the city itself. 第三部分，即最后一部分，描绘了城市内部的生活。 Here, hundreds of people from all walks of life, including butchers, hairdressers and government officials, can be seen going about their daily business. 在这里，数百位来自各行各业的人，包括屠夫、理发师和官员，可以看到他们在忙着自己的日常事务。 •The combination of these three sections gives the viewer an idea of what life was like for the people of Bianjing. 这三个部分的结合让观众了解到汴京人的生活是什么样的。 ⑧all__walks__of__life 各行各业，社会各界 ⑨butcher n. 肉贩，屠夫 ⑩go__about__sth 忙于做某事，继续做某事 ⑪what引导宾语从句，作介词of的宾语。 Zhang's amazing artistic technique is apparent all across the scroll. 张择端令人惊叹的艺术技巧在整幅画卷中显然易见。 •Using ink on silk, he creates realistic images of scenery, buildings and people, and displays a remarkable mastery of perspective. 他用水墨在绢布上创作出逼真的风景、建筑和人物形象，表现出高超的透视技巧。 The most impressive aspect of the painting, however, is probably Zhang's precise brushwork. 然而，这幅画最令人印象深刻的地方可能是张择端细腻的笔法。 This well­developed ability, as well as the scroll's ambitious size, allows Zhang to show an enormous amount of detail—you could study the painting for hours and still discover something new. 这种高超的绘画技巧，以及画卷宏大的尺寸，让张择端能够展示大量的细节——你可以研究这幅画几个小时，并且仍然会发现一些新的东西。 ⑫apparent adj. 显而易见，明白易懂，显然 ⑬ink n. 墨水，墨汁 ⑭perspective n. 透视法；态度，观点；客观判断力；景观，远景 ⑮precise adj. 细致的，精细的；准确的，精确的；恰好的 ⑯ambitious adj.

Song Dynasty. 多亏所有这些精细之处，《清明上河图》全面展示了北宋时期的生活景象。 It reveals a great deal about the 12th­century Chinese customs, clothing, transportation methods, business practices, and a wide range of buildings, such as temples, teahouses and government structures. 它展示了许多关于12世纪中国的习俗、服装、交通方式、商业活动，以及庙宇、茶馆和官府宅第等广泛的建筑。 At first sight, the overall scene of life in the capital city appears peaceful and cheerful.

closer inspection, the painting actually exposes serious political and social problems. 然而，一些评论家认为，仔细观察，这幅画实际上揭露了严重的政治和社会问题。 •Some boats carrying food do not seem to belong to the government, which suggests that the government has lost control of food supplies and transportation. 一些运载食物的船似乎不属于政府，这表明政府已经失去了对食物供应和运输的控制权。 Also in the painting are soldiers who appear to ignore their duties.

into the bridge. 例如，在卷轴的中心，一艘船险些要撞到桥。 These sorts of details point to a crisis developing in the city. 这些细节预示着城市中正在形成危机。 In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty was in decline by this stage. 事实上，到这个阶段，北宋已经走向衰落了。 About twenty years after the painting was completed, it was overthrown. 这幅画完成大约20年后，北宋被推翻。 crisis n. 危机，危急关头；危难时刻，病危期 decline n. 衰退，衰落，减少，下降　vi.& vt. 减少，下降，衰退，衰落；谢绝 overthrow vt.

and attention to detail, but also to its representation of daily life. 它的价值不仅在于其巨大的规模、艺术质量和对细节的关注，还在于它对日常生活的展现。 •Such is its worth that several later emperors even asked the most talented artists of their day to make copies of the scroll. 它的价值如此之高，以至于后世有几位皇帝甚至命令当时最有才华的画家来临摹这幅画卷。 Some of these copies are now regarded as precious works of art in their own right. 现在其中一些摹本本身就被视为艺术珍品。 With the Qingming Scroll, Zhang made an outstanding contribution to Chinese art and greatly influenced generations of future artists. 凭借《清明上河图》，张择端为中国艺术做出了杰出贡献，并对后世艺术家产生了深远影响。 be__down__to 由……引起(或造成) scale n.

rare chance to see the famous painting with their own eyes. 上次它展出时，人们排了好几个小时的队，就为了亲眼看到这幅名画。 The public's continued enthusiasm about the Qingming Scroll, even after all these centuries, speaks volumes

And now, a new painter is ready to join the list although this one isn't even human. Next month, auction house Christie's Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond de Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10，000. The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero­Lasserre, an art collector, called the work “grotesque and amazing at the same time”. This isn't the first example of AI­produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all. According to Russian writer Leo Tolstroy (1828－1910), art is about creating emotion (情感). It's “a means of ... joining people together in the same feelings，” he once said. So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers. Together, they “fed” the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own. 　 The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high­tech artists just yet. “The human mind is what's behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact，” said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. “Rather, it is something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over time.” 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能创作了自己的绘画作品以及人们对此的态度。 1．Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce their works. B．To make an advertisement. C．To present a piece of news. D．To focus the topic on the AI. 答案：D　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“And now, a new painter is ready to join the list although this one isn't even human.”可知，现在，一位新画家准备加入这个名单，尽管这位画家甚至不是人类。由此可推知，作者在第一段提到达芬奇这些画家是为了引出人工智能创作了自己的绘画作品这一话题。故选D。 2．What does the underlined word “grotesque” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Strange. B．Simple. C．Messy. D．Understandable. 答案：A　词义猜测题。根据画线词前“The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face”可知，这件作品的特点是一个脸上有神秘表情的男人；根据画线词后“amazing at the same time”可知，艺术收藏家Laugero­Lasserre (劳杰罗·拉塞尔)认为这幅作品既怪诞又令人惊叹。由此可知，grotesque意为“奇怪的”。故选A。 3．Compared with the AI, Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is ________． A．limited B．decisive C．changeable D．meaningful 答案：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“The human mind is what's behind the AI technology.”可知，Oscar Schwartz (奥斯卡·施瓦茨)认为人工智能的背后是人类的智慧。由此可推知，人类的思维对于人工智能来说是决定性的。故选B。 1．feature v. 以……为特色 2．doubt v. 怀疑 1．be different from 不同于…… 2．work out 弄懂，解决 Ⅱ　七选五 When mouth­watering food on a plate is served, do you eat it right away? __1__ Then you post it on your favorite social networking sites and apps. Shooting food has become a popular practice for people all over the world. Last month, The Telegraph published an article from British food photographer Hugh Johnson in which he shared tips. Read on to find out how to get better at taking food pictures. 　Don't overcrowd the shot. __2__ Zoom in (镜头拉近) on its front edge or focus on a key area, such as an egg yolk or a steak's pink center, but not so closely that a viewer won't be able to tell what it is. __3__ Natural light can always make your food photos look great. Using a flash in a darker restaurant will get rid of a lot of your food's features and colors. A plate will always look better in natural light, but when sunshine is out of the question, make sure you use as much of the available light as possible. __4__ Move things around. 　Too many people might ruin a good shot by failing to look at the background properly.

In the Rivesville town art gallery, a window opened and a man came in. His name was Harry Black, and he was a thief. It was dark in the art gallery, but Harry had a light. He looked across the room at a painting. “There it is！” he said. Harry moved quickly across the room. He stood and looked at the painting. “A million dollars for this？” he thought. “I don't understand it.” But he took a knife from his coat. Then he took the painting very, very slowly from its frame. Harry went back across the room to the window, but he walked into a table. There was a beautiful blue glass vase on the table. It fell on the floor and broke into pieces. He ran across the piece of glass to the window. Harry rented a room in Mrs Allen's house. He went quietly up to his room and closed the door. In his room, Harry took the painting from his bag. He wrapped it with a newspaper and put the newspaper under his bed. In the morning, Janey Allen was putting old bottles into a box. On the TV, a reporter was at the Rivesville art gallery. He was talking about the lost painting and the broken glass vase. Janey glanced at the photo of the blue vase. At that time Harry wasn't in his room. He was talking on his telephone. Janey was looking for old newspapers. Every Friday morning, she took them from every room in the house. Then later, the newspaper recycling truck arrived. Janey opened Harry's door and looked into his room. She always took his old newspapers or bottles for recycling. She found a newspaper under Harry's bed. She put the old newspapers into a black recycling box. Then she ran from the house and saw the truck. “Wait！” she said. And she quickly gave the box to one of the men. Harry came back to the house. He saw the recycling truck, and there was Janey. “The newspaper! Oh, no！” Harry said. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 He chased after the truck.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Then Janey called the police on the telephone.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Harry Black (哈里·布莱克)偷走了Rivesville Town (罗斯维尔镇)艺术画廊的一幅价值百万的名画，逃离中撞到了一张桌子，打碎了放在桌子上的一个精美的蓝色玻璃花瓶。Janey Allen (简妮·艾伦)是他的房东，她在整理回收旧报纸的时候将Harry用报纸包裹着的画和碎花瓶玻璃渣，装进了黑色的盒子里一并送给了回收垃圾的人。Harry看到垃圾回收车之后，他追上这辆车了吗？Janey报警后，Harry被捕了吗？ [精彩范文] He chased after the truck. By coincidence, the traffic light in the nearest crossing turned red when the truck was on the point of going through it. The truck having to stop, Harry managed to get close to it and reached the black recycling box. Having held the most expensive newspaper tightly under his arms, he got into a taxi immediately, not noticing a thin piece of glass drop. However, Janey witnessed what had happened. Driven by curiosity, she homed in on the piece of glass and remembered the photo of the blue vase, with her mouth wide open. Then Janey called the police on the telephone. She informed the police of where the taxi was heading and the doubtful piece of glass she had just found. “It's exactly from the broken vase in the art gallery, I bet.” The policemen set off in no time. After thirty minutes or so, Harry, the hateful thief was caught when hiding the precious painting in a hut.
