Fan was so good at painting that young artists always asked him to teach them to paint. “You must study with a greater master than me,” Fan replied. “Who is he? Where can we find him?” they asked curiously. Fan replied with a smile, “He is called Nature. He lives all around you.” Fan painted with the idea of being in harmony with nature. He believed that if you wanted to understand nature, you had to touch it, smell it and listen to it. That was what he always did. He lived in mountains and forests, and watched the seasons change. However, many people thought he was strange. One morning, after sleeping under a rock, Fan walked down a foggy mountain path. He saw an old farmer a few steps ahead in the fog. “Stop right there, whoever you are!” the farmer warned suddenly. He never expected to come across a stranger here. Fan stayed calm and said, “Don’t be scared, my friend! I’m just trying to find my way to the town.” “What are you doing here in the mountains?” the farmer asked. “Looking. Thinking,” answered Fan. The farmer relaxed when he was certain this strange man was not a danger. He invited Fan to his home and gave him something to eat. Fan, in return, painted a picture for the farmer. Everything in the picture, the farmer, the trees and the mountains, was so vivid that the farmer was shocked. He wondered how Fan had done it. Fan told him that it was a gift from the mountains. As Fan was leaving, the farmer asked where he lived. Fan answered that mountains or forests, east or west, all could be his home. 二、词汇精讲 1. paint /peɪnt/ v. 绘画；涂漆 n. 颜料；绘画作品 搭配：paint a landscape 画风景画；paint the wall blue 把墙涂成蓝色；oil paints 油画颜料 词转：painter

Many young artists wanted him to teach them to paint because he was very good at it. 核心理念：Fan told the young artists, “You should learn from a greater master—Nature.” He thought people need to touch, smell and listen to nature to understand it. So he lived in mountains to watch nature. 山林经历：One foggy morning, Fan met an old farmer on the mountain path. The farmer was scared at first, but he relaxed after talking to Fan.

Many young artists wanted to learn painting from him because he was so skilled. 理念：Instead of teaching them directly, Fan told the young artists that the greatest master was Nature.

Yes, the dead words become lovely characters at once. How happy it is to enjoy these Chinese cartoons. Ma Liang is a poor boy who loves painting. He always uses his magic brush to fight against the bad people in the village. The cartoon The Magic Brush came out in 1955. A group of tadpoles are born. They try to find their mother that they have never seen. The story is very simple, but it needs complex technology to show the artistic style of ink painting. Little Tadpoles Looking for Mum was first released in 1961. The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven (1961~1964) is China’s first color cartoon. It is from the Chinese novel Journey to the West. It’s successful. Not only we but also many westerners like the great monkey Sun Wukong. To beat two bad persons, an old man grows 7 calabashes (葫芦), and they change into 7 boys.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, the well-known director Zhang Yimou said that audiences (观众) should visit cinemas instead of just watching 3-minute video summaries on their phones. His words have led to discussions on social media. Do you agree with watching movies through short videos? Why or why not? I don’t agree with watching movies through short videos. People watch movies to feel the emotions (情绪). When people watch a movie fully, they can remember the story for a long time. This makes people want to discuss it with others more deeply. However, short video commentaries (评论) make it difficult to feel these emotions. People only learn about the story and this makes them lose the great experience of watching movies. Also, there may be some mistakes in short videos, so people might get the wrong ideas about movies. As such, I believe that watching movies from beginning to the end is better. (Shao Xinyan, 13, Hubei) Short video commentaries can help us know the true meaning of the movie. Since we live in a fast-paced world, short videos make it more convenient for us to get information. Sometimes, people are interested in a new movie but they don’t have time to see it. People may also find the movie boring when they watch it themselves. This would be a waste of time and money. In this case, short videos help people enjoy movies and save their energy. Some people think short videos cause misunderstandings. But don’t worry! You can always go to the cinema and see the movies for yourself. (Cui Luoyao, 14, Beijing) 104．What might be Zhang Yimou’s opinion towards watching movies through short videos? A．Short videos make it unnecessary to watch movies in the cinema. B．Short videos do not give the full cinema experience. C．Short videos provide a convenient way to learn about the movies. D．Short videos bring people the same experience as watching movies in the cinema. 105．According to Shao Xinyan, why is watching movies through short videos not good? A．Short videos can’t provide any useful information for people. B．Short videos always have wrong ideas about movies. C．Short videos make it hard to feel the emotions of movies. D．Short videos provide us with a terrible experience of watching movies. 106．Why does Cui Luoyao think short videos are convenient for some people? A．Because they don’t require any payment. B．Because they are easier to get than movies. C．Because they always provide summaries without misunderstandings. D．Because they can offer busy people a quicker way to learn about the movie. 107．What does Cui Luoyao imply by saying the underlined sentences? A．People should never trust any movie commentaries. B．Cinemas will soon replace most of the short video platforms. C．Short videos are useless for understanding films. D．Short videos help, but people can get a better understanding through movies. 108．The underlined word “bite-sized” in the title probably means ________. A．very long B．very detailed C．small and easy to take in D．hard to understand 109．This passage is most likely to be found in ________. A．a novel B．a newspaper C．a science textbook D．a film review 【答案】104．B 105．C 106．D 107．D 108．C 109．B 【导语】本文主要是张艺谋导演在接受新华社采访时呼吁观众应该去电影院观影，而非仅通过3分钟短视频了解电影，由此引发了一场“是否应该通过短视频看电影”的讨论。 104．推理判断题。根据“the well-known director Zhang Yimou said that audiences (观众) should visit cinemas instead of just watching 3-minute video summaries on their phones.”可知，张艺谋说观众应该去电影院，而不是只看手机上的3分钟短视频概括，由此推知，他认为短视频无法替代完整的影院体验。故选B。 105．细节理解题。根据“However, short video commentaries (评论) make it difficult to feel these emotions.”可知，她认为短视频让人很难感受到电影的情感。故选C。 106．细节理解题。根据“Since we live in a fast-paced world... short videos help people enjoy movies and save their energy.”可知，她为短视频对一些人来说很方便，因为它们可以为忙碌的人们提供一种更快的方式来了解电影。故选D。 107．推理判断题。根据“Some people think short videos cause misunderstandings. But don’t worry! You can always go to the cinema and see the movies for yourself.”可知，一些人认为短视频会造成误解。不过别担心！你可以自己去电影院看电影，即短视频有帮助，但人们可以通过电影更好地理解。故选D。 108．词句猜测题。根据“Making movies bite-sized”并结合文章内容可知，“bite-sized”直译是“一口大小的”，在文中比喻短小精悍、易于消化的短视频，对应短视频的“碎片化”特点。故选C。 109．推理判断题。根据“In an interview with Xinhua News Agency,”并结合文章内容可知，张艺谋导演在接受新华社采访时呼吁观众应该去电影院观影，从而引发了一场“是否应该通过短视频看电影”的讨论，所以可能在报纸上发现本文。故选B。 19 / 21 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 第1讲 8B Unit1课文预习&语法预习 内容导航 考点聚焦：归纳核心，有的放矢 重点速记：查漏补缺，即时巩固 复习提升：综合提升，全面突破 知识精讲 一、课文原文 A MASTER OF ART Fan Kuan was one of the greatest landscape painters of the Song dynasty. Fan was so good at painting that young artists always asked him to teach them to paint. “You must study with a greater master than me,” Fan replied. “Who is he? Where can we find him?” they asked curiously. Fan replied with a smile, “He is called Nature. He lives all around you.” Fan painted with the idea of being in harmony with nature. He believed that if you wanted to understand nature, you had to touch it, smell it and listen to it. That was what he always did. He lived in mountains and forests, and watched the seasons change. However, many people thought he was strange. One morning, after sleeping under a rock, Fan walked down a foggy mountain path. He saw an old farmer a few steps ahead in the fog. “Stop right there, whoever you are!” the farmer warned suddenly. He never expected to come across a stranger here. Fan stayed calm and said, “Don’t be scared, my friend! I’m just trying to find my way to the town.” “What are you doing here in the mountains?” the farmer asked. “Looking. Thinking,” answered Fan. The farmer relaxed when he was certain this strange man was not a danger. He invited Fan to his home and gave him something to eat. Fan, in return, painted a picture for the farmer. Everything in the picture, the farmer, the trees and the mountains, was so vivid that the farmer was shocked. He wondered how Fan had done it. Fan told him that it was a gift from the mountains. As Fan was leaving, the farmer asked where he lived. Fan answered that mountains or forests, east or west, all could be his home. 二、词汇精讲 1. paint /peɪnt/ v. 绘画；涂漆 n. 颜料；绘画作品 搭配：paint a landscape 画风景画；paint the wall blue 把墙涂成蓝色；oil paints 油画颜料 词转：painter n. 画家；painting n. 绘画作品 例句：The artist spent three months painting the lady. 翻译练习： 这位设计师决定用暖色调来粉刷房间，营造温馨的(cozy)氛围。 _____________________________________________________________________ 2. master /ˈmɑːstə(r)/ n. 大师；能手；主人 v. 精通；掌握 搭配：a master of art 艺术大师；master a foreign language 精通一门外语； 词转：masterful adj. 技艺精湛的；mastery n. 精通 例句：To master traditional Chinese painting, one must not only learn techniques but also understand the cultural meanings behind it. 翻译练习： 这位科学家花费毕生在研究上，最终成为了该领域的顶尖大师。 _____________________________________________________________________ 3. curiously /ˈkjʊəriəsli/ adv. 好奇地 搭配：look curiously 好奇地看；ask curiously 好奇地问；behave curiously 表现得很奇特 词转：curious adj. 好奇的；curiosity n. 好奇心 例句：The child looked curiously at the ancient artifact(手工艺品) in the museum, asking his parents endless questions about its history. 翻译练习： 她好奇地拿起那个盒子，想知道里面装着什么。 _____________________________________________________________________ 4. harmony /ˈhɑːməni/ n. 和谐；融洽；协调 搭配：in harmony with 与……和谐相处；live in harmony 和谐共处；harmony between A and B A与B的和谐；social harmony 社会和谐 词转：harmonious adj. 和谐的；融洽的 例句：The architect designed the building to be in perfect harmony with the surrounding natural landscape. 翻译练习： 如果人与自然和谐共生，我们能拥有更美好的未来。 _____________________________________________________________________ 5. ahead /əˈhed/ adv. 在前面；提前；领先 搭配：a few steps ahead 几步之遥；go ahead 前进；提前；ahead of time 提前；ahead of schedule 比计划早 常见短语：ahead of sb. 在某人前面；look ahead 展望未来 例句：We need to finish the project ahead of plan to avoid any possible delays caused by bad weather. 翻译练习： 尽管面临诸多挑战，这个团队仍然领先于竞争对手完成了任务。 _____________________________________________________________________ 6. whoever /huːˈevə(r)/ pron. 无论谁；任何人 语法功能：引导让步状语从句（= no matter who）或名词性从句 搭配：whoever breaks the rules 无论谁违反规则；whoever you are 无论你是谁 例句：Whoever wants to achieve success must be prepared to face difficulties and keep working hard. 翻译练习： 无论谁参与这个项目，都需要严格遵守安全规定。 _____________________________________________________________________ 7. warn /wɔːn/ v. 警告；提醒 搭配：warn sb. to do sth. 警告某人做某事；warn sb. not to do sth. 警告某人不要做某事；warn sb. of/about sth. 提醒某人某事 词转：warning n. 警告 例句：The teacher warned the students not to copy others’ homework, as it would affect their own learning. 翻译练习： 妈妈警告我不要在陌生人面前透露(reveal)个人信息。 _____________________________________________________________________ 8.expect /ɪkˈspekt/v. 预料；期待；要求；指望 搭配：expect to do sth. 期待 / 预计做某事；expect sb. to do sth. 期待 / 要求某人做某事；expect sth. 预料 / 期待某物；expect that 从句 预料 / 期待…… 词转：expectation n. 期待；期望；expected adj. 预料之中的；unexpected adj. 出乎意料的 例句：We didn’t expect that the ancient painting would be sold for such a high price.翻译练习： 父母期望孩子能在学业和兴趣之间找到平衡。 _____________________________________________________________________ 9. scared /skeəd/ adj. 害怕的；恐惧的 搭配：be scared of sth. 害怕某物；be scared to do sth. 害怕做某事；be scared that 担心…… 词转：scare v.惊吓，害怕，担忧；n.惊吓，恐慌 近义词辨析：scared（侧重主观感受，日常用语）vs. frightened（侧重突然受惊，程度较强）vs. afraid（通用，可作表语） 例句：She was so scared of failing the exam that she stayed up late every night reviewing lessons for a month. 翻译练习： 许多人害怕在公众面前演讲，但通过反复练习我们可以逐渐改变这种情况。 _____________________________________________________________________ 10. vivid /ˈvɪvɪd/ adj. 生动的；逼真的；清晰的 搭配：vivid description 生动的描述；vivid picture 逼真的图画；vivid memory 清晰的记忆；vivid imagination 丰富的想象力 词转：vividly adv. 生动地；逼真地 例句：The writer used vivid details to describe the ancient town. 翻译练习： 这幅画用鲜艳的色彩呈现了一个逼真的乡村场景。 _____________________________________________________________________ 11. shocked /ʃɒkt/ adj. 震惊的；惊愕的 搭配：be shocked at sth. 对某事感到震惊；be shocked to do sth. 震惊地做某事；be shocked that 惊讶于…… 词转：shock v. 使震惊 n. 震惊；shocking adj. 令人震惊的 例句：People all over the world were shocked by the artist’s creative works. 翻译练习： 看到这幅画如此逼真，每个人都感到十分震惊。 _____________________________________________________________________ 三、短语 1. so...that... 如此……以至于……（结果状语从句） 拓展用法：so + 形容词/副词 + that从句；so + many/much/few/little + 名词 + that从句 例句：The artist’s works are so popular that they have been exhibited in more than 20 countries around the world. 2. in harmony with 与……和谐相处 拓展搭配：be in harmony with society 与社会和谐共处 例句：To protect the ecosystem, humans must learn to live in harmony with all living creatures. 3. come across 偶然遇见；偶然发现 近义词组：run into；meet by chance/accident 例句：While cleaning the old bookcase, she came across a letter written by her grandfather 50 years ago. 4. in return 作为回报；作为回应 拓展搭配：in return for sth. 作为对……的回报 例句：The student helped his classmate with math, and in return, his classmate taught him how to play basketball. 5. ahead of 在……前面；领先于 拓展搭配：ahead of time 提前；ahead of one's time 超前于时代 例句：His artistic ideas were ahead of his time, so few people understood his works when he was alive. 好题精练 （一）单词适当形式填空 1.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, the well-known director Zhang Yimou said that audiences (观众) should visit cinemas instead of just watching 3-minute video summaries on their phones. His words have led to discussions on social media. Do you agree with watching movies through short videos? Why or why not? I don’t agree with watching movies through short videos. People watch movies to feel the emotions (情绪). When people watch a movie fully, they can remember the story for a long time. This makes people want to discuss it with others more deeply. However, short video commentaries (评论) make it difficult to feel these emotions. People only learn about the story and this makes them lose the great experience of watching movies. Also, there may be some mistakes in short videos, so people might get the wrong ideas about movies. As such, I believe that watching movies from beginning to the end is better. (Shao Xinyan, 13, Hubei) Short video commentaries can help us know the true meaning of the movie. Since we live in a fast-paced world, short videos make it more convenient for us to get information. Sometimes, people are interested in a new movie but they don’t have time to see it. People may also find the movie boring when they watch it themselves. This would be a waste of time and money. In this case, short videos help people enjoy movies and save their energy. Some people think short videos cause misunderstandings. But don’t worry! You can always go to the cinema and see the movies for yourself. (Cui Luoyao, 14, Beijing) 104．What might be Zhang Yimou’s opinion towards watching movies through short videos? A．Short videos make it unnecessary to watch movies in the cinema. B．Short videos do not give the full cinema experience. C．Short videos provide a convenient way to learn about the movies. D．Short videos bring people the same experience as watching movies in the cinema. 105．According to Shao Xinyan, why is watching movies through short videos not good? A．Short videos can’t provide any useful information for people. B．Short videos always have wrong ideas about movies. C．Short videos make it hard to feel the emotions of movies. D．Short videos provide us with a terrible experience of watching movies. 106．Why does Cui Luoyao think short videos are convenient for some people? A．Because they don’t require any payment. B．Because they are easier to get than movies. C．Because they always provide summaries without misunderstandings. D．Because they can offer busy people a quicker way to learn about the movie. 107．What does Cui Luoyao imply by saying the underlined sentences? A．People should never trust any movie commentaries. B．Cinemas will soon replace most of the short video platforms. C．Short videos are useless for understanding films. D．Short videos help, but people can get a better understanding through movies. 108．The underlined word “bite-sized” in the title probably means ________. A．very long B．very detailed C．small and easy to take in D．hard to understand 109．This passage is most likely to be found in ________. A．a novel B．a newspaper C．a science textbook D．a film review 19 / 21 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
