Ⅰ.阅读理解
Chinese painting, also known as the traditional national painting, one of the traditional paintings with a long history, has its unique and independent system.Using brushes, ink, and Chinese pigments (天然颜料), a painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk.The traditional subjects are figures, landscapes, flowers and birds.
In comparison with Western painting, Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics.After careful study of an object, a painter can discover the rules of its structure, and then produce it through the mind’s eye.It is not merely a simple copy; it combines the object with the artistic concept of the producer, turning a natural image into an “artistic image”.The artwork reflects the artist’s feelings and personality, achieving the effect of “being alike not only in appearance, but also in spirit”.Not all elements are to be drawn on
the paper, leaving ample space for imagination.The use of lines is important in Chinese painting.Clear, swift, sharp and changeable lines are combined with the push, point and press of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of tone (色调).Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting.Different ways of creating lines are used when painting a landscape, flowers⁃and⁃birds, clouds, and bamboo.
Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy are different branches of art stemming (起源) from the same origin.They use the same kind of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines of calligraphy.Though they are different artistic forms, they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings.They influence each other to create another artistic feature.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国画作为传统国画的特点,以及传统绘画与书法的异同点。
1.Which of the following words can describe the common subjects of traditional Chinese painting?
A.Valuable. B.Independent.

2.The writer believes that a traditional Chinese painter’s picture .
A.reflects social problems of his times

4.What do painting and calligraphy have in common?
