阅读理解 同题异文　群文阅读 Meeting the muse Unit4 A (选自北师大版必修第三册 Unit 7) The Starry Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally 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 massive circles of white and yellow racing across the sky.The stars and the moon hang bright in the night sky.Beneath this amazing sky，we see a sleeping village and a dark，lonely tree. His unusual use of colour has led experts to think that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected his sense of sight.He also took a drug that can make people see yellow spots，just like the stars in The Starry Night. Unfortunately，Van Gogh’s unique paintings weren’t very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime.He also thought The Starry Night was a failure.However，the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world’s most famous paintings. The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893.What makes it striking is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear—the figure’s mouth is wide open and letting out a powerful scream.The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer.This figure is set on a bridge above a dark，stormy sea，and against a burning orange-red sky. In his diary，Munch talked about what inspired him.“I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set；suddenly the sky turned as red as blood...I stood there shaking.Then I heard the scream of nature.” Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch’s mental health problems，which caused him a lot of pain. The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte between 1953 and 1954.He painted the same scene 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 mysterious scene. Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas.His paintings were visual experiments as he tried to play with reality.His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge their sense of reality. The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers.Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling.Others，however，find them calming.As for Magritte himself，he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising.“I call this power：poetry，” he said. 1.Who is the painter of The Empire of Light?

The scroll consists of three main sections.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.The second section shows the riverbanks and the central bridge alive with activity as boats sail in and out of Bianjing.Civilians can also be seen walking through the city gate in both directions.The third and final section pictures life inside the city itself.Here，hundreds of people from all walks of life，including butchers，hairdressers and government officials，can be seen going about their daily business.The combination of these three sections gives the viewer an idea of what life was like for the people of Bianjing. Zhang’s amazing artistic technique is apparent all across the scroll.Using ink on silk，he creates realistic images of scenery，buildings and people，and displays a remarkable mastery of perspective.The most impressive aspect of the painting，however，is probably Zhang’s precise brushwork.This well-developed 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. Thanks to all this fine detail，the Qingming Scroll provides a comprehensive look at life during the Northern Song Dynasty.It reveals a great deal about the 12th-century Chinese customs，clothing，transportation methods，business practices，and a wide range of buildings，such as temples，teahouses and government structures.At first sight，the overall scene of life in the capital city appears peaceful and cheerful.However，some critics suggest that on closer inspection，the painting actually exposes serious political and social problems.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.Also in the painting are soldiers who appear to ignore their duties.There are some less obvious indicators of trouble too.For example，in the centre of the scroll，a boat is in danger of crashing into the bridge.These sorts of details point to a crisis developing in the city.In fact，the Northern Song Dynasty was in decline by this stage.About twenty years after the painting was completed，it was overthrown. Zhang’s timeless scroll is an important example of realism in the history of Chinese paintings.Its value is down not only to its great scale，artistic quality and attention to detail，but also to its representation of daily life.Such is its worth that several later emperors even asked the most talented artists of their day to make copies of the scroll.Some of these copies are now regarded as precious works of art in their own right.With the Qingming Scroll，Zhang made an outstanding contribution to Chinese art and greatly influenced generations of future artists. The original scroll is still in one piece despite its age，but it is extremely delicate.Because of this，it is not often displayed to the public.The last time it was on exhibition，crowds waited in line for hours for the rare chance to see the famous painting with their own eyes.The public’s continued enthusiasm about the Qingming Scroll，even after all these centuries，speaks volumes about the power of this historic piece of art. 19 1.What can we know from Qingming Scroll?

But I dare not speak in a voice loud， For fear of scaring dwellers on high. (“A Night Stay at a Mountain Temple”) It is believed that this poem was written by Li Bai in his teenage years.With striking imagination in expressions like “scaring dwellers on high”，this early poem already displayed signs of a romantic style，which was later to characterize Li Bai’s poetry. Li Bai’s love of reading and travelling from an early age contributed to his romantic style.He started studying the classics when he was only five years old，and was reading ancient philosophers of different schools at the age of ten，including Confucianism and Taoism.By reading books of all kinds，from legends to historical stories，he familiarized himself with classical Chinese culture，and more importantly，he acquired the wisdom of previous generations. Driven by a burning desire for adventure and travel，Li Bai left home and started to travel around in his early twenties.His footsteps covered almost the whole country.During his travels，he visited famous mountains and great rivers，encountering different customs and practices.These travelling experiences also nourished his love of nature and inspired him to write numerous poems in the romantic style. Li Bai’s romantic style was also deeply rooted in the social and historical context in which he lived.Li Bai grew up in the most glorious period of the Tang Dynasty，a time of economic boom and social stability.This open and tolerant atmosphere allowed Li Bai the liberty to develop a free and unconstrained personality，which，in turn，had a huge impact on his poetic production. Given his personal experiences and the historical background，it is only natural to see that the majority of Li Bai’s poems are characterized by the romantic style.Even the most uninformed reader would not fail to be impressed by the poet’s rich imagination.The moon and stars in the sky，the natural landscape and the figures in legends all become a vehicle for his imagination.Equally impressive is Li Bai’s free expression of strong feelings，which breathes vitality into the lifeless objects he describes，and which distinguishes him from other landscape poets.These features are inseparable from Li Bai’s wide use of exaggeration，metaphor and other artistic techniques.The poem below，written in his fifties，is representative of his romantic style： My silver hair is three thousand feet long， Because my sorrow is deep and strong. How can the autumn frost white Be cast into the mirror bright? (“Autumn Frost”) With his extraordinary imagination，free expression of strong feelings and mastery of language，Li Bai is widely recognized as the greatest romantic poet after Qu Yuan.Generations of poets，both in China and abroad，owe a debt to his inspirational poems.One such poet is Ezra Pound，a 20th-century American poet.He was fascinated by Li Bai’s poems and translated some of them in his 1915 poetry collection entitled Cathay.Today Li Bai’s poetry continues to be enjoyed by countless readers around the world. 1.What is the purpose of the poem A Night Stay at a Mountain Temple in the passage? A.To ask readers to enjoy it. B.To compare it with other poems. C.To introduce Li Bai. D.To introduce Tang poems. √ 2.What made Li Bai familiar with classical Chinese culture and acquire the wisdom of previous generations? A.All kinds of books he read. B.All activities he took part in. C.The society he lived in. D.His travelling experience. √ 3.What made Li Bai different from other landscape poets? A.His free expression of strong feelings. B.His extraordinary talent. C.His inspiration from nature. D.The influence from Qu Yuan. √ 4.What does the underlined phrase “owe a debt to” in the last paragraph mean? A.Benefit a lot from.　　　　B.Adapt from. C.Enjoy much. D.Learn from. √ 词汇积累 1.characterize vt.是……的特征，以……为典型；使……具有特点；描述，刻画 2.legend n.传说，传奇故事；传奇人物 3.nourish vt.培养，助长；抚养，滋养 4.numerous adj.众多的，许多的 5.glorious adj.荣耀的，光荣的；壮丽的，辉煌的 6.boom n.(贸易和经济活动的)激增，繁荣 vi.迅速发展，激增，繁荣昌盛 7.stability n.稳定(性)，稳固(性) 8.tolerant adj.宽容的，容忍的；能耐……的 9.liberty n.自由(自己选择生活方式而不受政府或权威的过多限制) 10.unconstrained adj.不受约束的，自由的 11.given prep.考虑到，鉴于 12.vitality n.生命力，活力，热情 13.exaggeration n.夸张，夸大 14.representative adj.典型的，有代表性的 n.典型人物，代表性人物；代表 15.entitle vt.给……命名；使享有权利，使符合资格 本课结束 $
