一、阅读理解

Leonardo da Vinci is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists and thinkers in history. Born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy, he showed extraordinary talent from a young age. While he is best known for his paintings like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, his interests and skills extended far beyond art.
Da Vinci was an engineer, an architect, and an inventor. He was fascinated by the natural world and made detailed studies of the movement of water, the growth of plants, and the behavior of animals. His observations led to some remarkable inventions. For example, he designed a parachute, a form of helicopter, and a strange flying machine with flapping wings. These ideas were far ahead of his time; most of them couldn't be tested during his lifetime.
In his art, da Vinci paid great attention to detail and used techniques that made his works come to life. He was also interested in the human body and spent a year studying human anatomy by cutting up dead bodies in hospitals, which greatly influenced his artworks.

三、书面表达
Dear fellow students,
Good morning/afternoon! Today, I am honored to stand here and talk about “Art and Inspiration”.
Inspiration is the lifeblood of art. Without it, artworks would lack soul and fail to touch our hearts. Artists throughout history have found inspiration in different ways. Some are inspired by nature, like Monet who captured the beauty of water lilies. Others draw inspiration from history and culture, such as Tan Dun, who combines traditional Chinese music with modern elements.
As students, we should also value inspiration. It can open the door to a world of creativity and self - expression. Let's keep our eyes and minds open to the beauty and wonders around us, and who knows, we might just discover our own artistic inspiration.
Thank you!
