Section Ⅳ　Using Language & Assessing Your Progress ANCIENT CHINESE ART ON SHOW The Richfield Museum of Fine Art is proud to present our new exhibition，“From Shang to Qing：Chinese Art Through the Ages.”Join us as we explore more than 3,000 years of wonderful art from the Middle Kingdom　[1]．From bronze bowls to ceramic vases，and jade sculptures to ink wash paintings，our goal is to display the Chinese artistic genius from ancient times　[2]． [1]as we explore more than 3,000 years of...是as引导的时间状语从句。 [2]不定式短语to display the Chinese artistic...在句中作表语。 The highlight of this exhibition is the painting Clearing After Snow on a Mountain Pass，one of the great works of Tang Yin(1470—1524)　[3]．Born during the Ming Dynasty，Tang sought and failed to gain entry into the civil service，so he turned to painting instead.In time，he gained recognition as one of the greatest artists China has ever known　[4]．This painting，showing high mountains，trees，and houses covered in snow　[5]，was made with extraordinary skill.Though it is over 500 years old　[6]，it looks as fresh and full of life as the day it was created. [3]名词短语one of the great works of Tang Yin(1470—1524)作同位语，解释说明前面的作品。 [4]China has ever known是定语从句，省略了关系代词that，修饰先行词artists。 [5]现在分词短语showing high mountains，trees，and houses covered in snow作后置定语，修饰名词painting。 [6]Though it is over 500 year old是though引导的让步状语从句。 Also of primary note is a collection of nearly 100 bronze objects from the Shang Dynasty(1600 BCE—1046 BCE)．While the artists who made these great works are not known　[7]，they showed great skill in creating these beautiful pieces.Some of the items on display are thought to have come from the collection of Emperor Qianlong (1711—1799)，a great admirer of Shang Dynasty bronze　[8]． [7]While the artists who made these great works are not known是从属连词while引导的让步状语从句，在该从句中又含有一个关系代词who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词artists。 Finally，we have many fine examples of Tang Dynasty(618—907)sculptures.Most of these are of Buddhist origin.Even though Buddhism entered China much earlier　[9]，it did not really begin to show expansion until the seventh century.During this same period，trade along the Silk Road also boomed.Chinese sculpture thus found itself highly influenced by Buddhist art brought from India and Central Asia through the Silk Road.　[10]These works were intended to spread Buddhism and they are of exceptional beauty and quality　[11]．Looking at the faces of the figures in these sculptures　[12]，one sees the faces of the past.History is brought to life. [9]Even though Buddhism entered China much earlier是even though引导的让步状语从句，even though表示“尽管”。 [10] thus [11]of exceptional beauty and quality是“of＋抽象名词”结构作表语。 [12]现在分词短语looking at the faces...在句中作时间状语。 This is just a small taste of what is in store for you in this exhibition.We guarantee that “From Shang to Qing：Chinese Art Through the Ages”will transport you to another time with its amazing collection of works. “From Shang to Qing：Chinese Art Through the Ages”will run until November 25. Opening hours are from 9：00 a．m.to 5：00 p．m.，from Tuesday to Sunday(the museum is closed on Mondays)．No one will be admitted into the exhibition after 4：30 p．m. Admission：$10 for adults；$8 for students；$5 for children under 12；free for children under 5. No photos or food and drink are allowed in the museum. 中国古代艺术展 里希菲尔德美术馆很荣幸地为您呈现我们的新展览(exhibition)“从商到清：中国历代艺术展”。与我们一起探索来自中国的3 000多年的精彩艺术。从青铜(bronze)碗到陶瓷(ceramic)花瓶(vase)，从玉雕到水墨画，我们的目标是展示中国古代的艺术(artistic)天赋。 本次展览的亮点是唐寅(1470—1524)的巨作之一《函关雪霁图》。出生于明朝的唐寅，寻求进入(entry)仕途(civil国民的)，但没有成功，于是他转向绘画。随着时间的推移，他被公认为(recognition)中国有史以来最伟大的艺术家之一。这幅画呈现了高山、树木和被积雪覆盖的房屋，技巧非凡。虽然它已经有500多年的历史了，但它看起来和它刚被创作出来时一样鲜活，富有生机。 同样十分重要的(看点)是一组近百件的商代(公元前1600年—公元前1046年)青铜器藏品。虽然创造这些伟大作品的艺术家并不为人所知，但他们在创作这些美丽的作品时表现出了高超的技巧。一些展品被认为是出自商代青铜崇拜者乾隆皇帝(1711—1799)的收藏。 最后，我们有许多唐代(618—907)雕塑的精品。这些雕塑大部分都是源于佛教(Buddhist)。尽管佛教进入中国的时间要早得多，但直到7世纪其影响才真正开始扩大(expansion)。同一时期，丝绸之路沿线的贸易也蓬勃发展。因此，中国雕塑深受通过丝绸之路从印度和中亚带来的佛教艺术的影响。这些作品旨在传播佛教，它们具有非凡的美感和品质。看着这些雕塑中人物的面容，人们看到了过去的面容——历史复活了(bring...to life)。 这只是该展览供您参观的一小部分。我们保证(guarantee)“从商到清：中国历代艺术展”将以其令人惊叹的藏品将您带到另一个时代。 “从商到清：中国历代艺术展”将持续到11月25日。 开放时间为周二至周日上午9：00至下午5：00(博物馆周一闭馆)。下午4：30以后，任何人不得进入展览。 门票：成人10美元；学生8美元；12岁以下儿童5美元；5岁以下儿童免费。 博物馆内禁止拍照和饮食。 [重点单词] 1．　ink　 n．墨水；墨汁；油墨 2．　frame　 n．画面；框架；vt.给……镶框；陷害 3．　decline　 n．减少；下降；衰落 vi.& vt.减少；下降；衰落；谢绝 4．　vase　 n．花瓶；装饰瓶 5．　civil　 adj.国民的；民用的；民事的 6．　guarantee　 vt.保证；确保；肯定……必然发生 n．保证；保修单；担保物 7．　contemporary　 adj.当代的；现代的；属同期的 n．同代人；同辈人 8．　worthy　 adj.值得的；有价值的 9．　exhibition　 n．展览；表演→　exhibit　 n．展品，证据； vt.展览；表现 10．　artistic　 adj.艺术的；艺术家的→art n．艺术；美术(作品)技术，技巧→　artist　 n．艺术家；艺人，高手 11．　entry　 n．加入；进入；参与→　enter　 v．进入；成为……之一员，开始参加 12．　recognize　 vt.认出，识别，承认，确认→　recognition　 n．认识，识别；承认，赞赏→　recognized　 adj.公认的，经过验证的→　recognizable　 adj.可识别的，可认识的，可承认的 13．　expansion　 n．扩张；扩展；扩大→　expand　 v．扩大，发展，详细说明 [重点短语] 1．bring...　to　 life赋予……生命；使……鲜活起来 2．be worthy 　of　值得 3．be proud 　to_do　 sth.很荣幸做某事 4．gain entry 　into　...进入(仕途等) 5．turn 　to　转向(某人求助等)；转向(某行业等) 6．　in　 time最终；及时 7．be full 　of　 life充满生机 8．　on　 display 在展览中 9．be 　of　 exceptional beauty and quality外观精美，品质上乘 10．　in　 store (for)(为……)储备着；将要发生；准备着 [重点句式] 1. 试译：　唐寅出生在明朝，他曾试图考取文官，但失败了……　 2. 试译：　虽然很早之前佛教便传入了中国，但直到公元7世纪它才真正开始传播开来。　 3. 试译：　一些展品被认为是出自乾隆皇帝的收藏……。　 [词汇精讲] 1．(教材P6)an explanation of the decline in ink wash animation 论水墨动画的衰落 decline n．(数量、价格、质量等的)减少；下降；衰落 vi.&vt.减少；下降；衰落；谢绝 ◆[佳句感知] The country saw a decline in its economic growth rate last year. 这个国家去年的经济增长率下降了。 Profits have declined as a result of the recent drop in sales. 由于最近销售量的下降，利润减少了。 [归纳拓展]　a rapid/sharp/gradual decline 迅速/急剧/逐渐下降 urban/economic decline城市衰落/经济衰退 on the decline在下降；在减少(反义短语：on the increase在增加) in decline衰落，没落 fall/go into decline开始衰落 decline to do sth.拒绝做某事 decline an offer/invitation拒绝提议/谢绝邀请 ◆[即学即练] [完成句子] ①People are so bored with the quality of many TV programs that the number of audience 　is_on_the_decline　 (在下降)． ②At that time the Roman Empire 　was_in_decline　(在衰落)． ③As far as we know，the port 　fell/went_into_decline　(开始衰落)in the 1990s. ④They 　decline_to_tell　(拒绝告诉)me how they had got my address.

In parks, city squares, shopping streets and public buildings, we find modern art objects on display. Classical art, such as valuable paintings and precious sculptures, usually ends up as the collections of museums，companies or rich people. Both art and architecture have a history of ages.All forms and ways of expressing the beautiful things have been explored. In the case of architecture, many buildings designed in the past have proven beautiful and served their purposes. Governments and companies could save millions of dollars by copying the architecture of buildings from the past. There are still many designs for buildings made by famous architects that were never realized. Besides, some people find modern architecture ugly. So why should we make an investment in architecture for designing new buildings? The same holds for modern art, both paintings and statues. Many storerooms contain enough art to decorate all public buildings and other public places.There is no need to create more art, and as with modern architecture, many people find new art difficult to understand or appreciate. Given these facts, why are architects and artists asked to create new artworks ? The answers have to do with the function of art in society today. First of all，the function of art is to decorate things. Artworks make our living environment more beautiful. Another function of art is enriching real life. Art helps people to learn to think creatively. In art things are not always what they seem to be. Very often you can hardly tell what the funny art objects are. People need such creative moments. Finally, art is often seen as a way to instruct the audience. Statues of heroes from the past remind us of our history. Paintings and other art objects can also help us realize what goals we should set for ourselves. Because ideas about social change and every period of time have their own tastes, there is always a need for new art. We can still appreciate the beautiful artworks made in the past, but they are often too valuable to be placed in public buildings. Besides，they also often need special protection. 1．According to the passage, who owns collections of ancient statues and paintings? A．Parks or city squares. B．Shopping streets or public buildings. C．Museums, companies or rich people. D．Some historic sites. 2．What's the writing purpose of Paragraph 2? A．To explain why some people find modern art ugly. B．To introduce the necessity of new art. C．To show the benefits of copying designs from the past. D．To prove both art and architecture have a long history. 3．Why can't we use old art to decorate public buildings? A．Because they need long­lasting restoring. B．Because more people prefer modern art. C．Because of the changes and difference in taste. D．Because of their value and need for protection. 4．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．The functions of art in society today. B．The functions of architecture. C．The reason why art is difficult. D．The reason why art is precious.

The first song of the concert, Search High and Low, is an allusion (暗指)to the classical poem Li Sao, “The road ahead will be long. I shall search high and low.” “It's arranged to be sung by all performers, indicating that we should all search high and low for our roots，” says Gong. To explore the education and the popularization of Chinese music, in 2017, Gong established a research and development team, which includes ethnomusicologist (民族音乐学家), Du Yaxiong，and music historian, Zhao Zhongming, to deliberate over her music teaching methods and summarize the vocal skills of Chinese music. Gong believed that the popularization of Chinese music should rely on primary and secondary schools rather than music academies. The children's passion for music and their outstanding performance amazed Gong, “When singing, they are completely lost in the music. Music brings light and richness to one's world. So, learning to sing is never about passing examinations, but about enjoying the music.” Lu Yueming, instructor of the school's art center, said, “The children worked really hard and kept Gong's instructions in mind. Seeing their performance, I know that they truly fell in love with traditional Chinese music.” “Seeing the children perform my pieces, I realized I should write more songs for them，”said Lao Luo, Gong's husband proudly. “It's a great encouragement for me to see how much they like the songs, and they really need content related to Chinese culture.” With an international vision, Gong will continue to write songs based on Chinese folk music or ancient poems. Gong said children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music.
