Her head and arms are missing, but you can imagine her holding her arms up high, celebrating the result of an ancient battle. 赏析：此处的looks like ...以充满想象力的描述展示了栩栩如生的胜利女神雕像，同时与下一句中的imagine相呼应，将现实与想象融会在一起，描绘了一幅动静相结合的画面。 2．(情感描写)I really can't believe she's made of stone. The skill of the sculptor is just incredible. 赏析：此处的really can't believe及just incredible写出了作者内心所受到的强烈的震撼，同时高度赞叹了雕刻家的绝妙技艺。 3．(场景描写)You can see there are so many people here. I'm being pushed around quite a bit, in fact. 赏析：so many写出了参观者之多，being pushed around则具体描述了博物馆内人挤人的场面，笔墨不多，但形象传神。 4．(语气描写)Throughout his life, he made over 90 self-portraits! No one really knows why. Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th-century selfie? Or was it simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model? 赏析：此处运用了一波三折的语气描写。首句先用了感叹语气，突出了伦勃朗的自画像之多；第三句则使用了疑问句，表达作者的揣测和不确定的语气；最后一句则是一种幽默调侃，起到活跃气氛的作用，体现了“直播”的特色。 [提能训练|补全语段] Now ①____________ tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go to look for turtles again.Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead.It looked like a big gray rock.As Alex watched, ②______________________ was that the rock started to move.When he rode his bike up to get a closer look, he saw that it wasn't a rock at all, ③________________________.Alex suddenly realized what she was going to do. it looked like what he couldn't believe which was really incredible 现在看来明天又是一个晴天。他决定问问爸爸他们是否可以再去找乌龟。就在那时，亚历克斯看到前面的路上有东西。它看起来像一块灰色的大石头。当亚历克斯看着的时候，他不敢相信的是那块石头开始移动了。当他骑着自行车走近看时，他发现那根本不是一块石头，这真是令人难以置信。亚历克斯突然意识到它要做什么。 03 美文阅读润心 美即生活，艺术就在我们身边。世界各地不同的艺术作品，像绘画、雕刻、剪纸、木刻等均以各种不同的艺术形式表现出生活之美。 了解中外艺术作品、艺术形式和代表性作家、了解中国传统艺术和现代艺术，比较中外艺术的特点，是我们中学生应有的文化素质。联系自身的经历，描述身边的艺术，努力创作出自己的艺术作品，培养认识美、感受美、鉴赏美和创作美的能力，应是我们青少年向往的目标和不懈的追求。 我们一起来欣赏几幅世界艺术大师的杰作吧！梵·高的《星空》(The Starry Night)、蒙克的《呐喊》(The Scream)，还有…… Masterpieces 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. 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 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. √ [阅读理解] 1．Which of the following is true about The Starry Night? A．It was created when Van Gogh was healthy. B．It is the world's best-known painting. C．Van Gogh once thought it would sell well.

D．It is more appealing than The Scream. [素养积累] 1．由文积词汇 starry adj.　　　　　　　 布满星星的 massive adj. 巨大的 beneath prep.& adv. 在……(正)下方 striking adj. 惊人的；显著的 viewer n. 观看者 burning adj. 燃烧着的 be connected to ... 与……有联系 mysterious adj. 神秘的；难以解释的 visual adj. 视觉的，视力的 reaction n. 反应 2．据文悟句式 句①　the fact remains that ...是固定句型，表示“事实是……，真实的情况是……”，用于强调所说的某一情况是真实的。 句②　What引导主语从句，在从句中作主语；that引导表语从句。 句③　be doing ...when ...是固定句型，表示“正在做……，这时……”。 04 课时跟踪检测 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Jon Batiste, a big figure in the music world, views revisiting classic works as a golden opportunity, as seen in his latest album (专辑) “Beethoven Blues，” where he gives new life to Beethoven's compositions. He perceives a universal and powerful essence in Beethoven's music, similar to that in the blues. Batiste served as a bandleader for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” until 2022 and is now on the board at The Juilliard School. And he has received numerous Grammy nominations (提名) and wins across diverse musical categories. His documentary American Symphony, which details the composition and premiere of his symphony at Carnegie Hall in 2022, as well as the story of his wife Suleika Jaouad's battle with leukemia (a type of blood illness), has earned him further recognition. Batiste maintains the idea that classical music, Beethoven's works included, is suitable for reformation. There is a need to break away from the traditional perception of classical music. For instance, in his album, he starts with Für Elise, a piece familiar to many, and adds his own creative touches. However, Batiste's journey at Juilliard was not without challenges. As an ambitious teenager from Louisiana, his unconventional pursuits outside the classroom sometimes conflicted with the school's expectations. However, he later returned to Juilliard to honor his family's musical legacy and is now working to make the institution more inclusive. During his wife's illness, Batiste found that creativity served as a source of strength. His music, often associated with joy, also has roots in struggle, as exemplified by American Symphony, which addresses the nation's deep-seated pain and cultural tensions. Through his art, Batiste aims to bridge the past and present, creating works that resonate (共鸣) with the human experience. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍音乐界重要人物Jon Batiste，讲述他在新专辑《蓝调贝多芬》中重新诠释贝多芬作品，介绍其音乐履历，展现他透过艺术连接过去与现在、引发人类情感共鸣的追求。 √ 1．What can we know about Batiste's latest album?

A．The newer, the better. B．Classics should always be respected. C．Something new can always be found in the old.

Rooted in ancient traditions, it focuses on “Xie Yi” and “Yi Jing”. Its goal is to capture the essence of a subject rather than its physical appearance, inviting viewers to engage with the artist's inner world. The tools of Chinese painting are as symbolic as the art itself. Xuan paper, known for its absorbency, and ink sticks rubbed on ink stones produce varying tones of black. Brushes, crafted from animal hair, allow artists to create strokes ranging from bold and forceful to whisper-thin. These materials, alongside mineral pigments (颜料) like lapis lazuli (for blue) and cinnabar (for red), form the “Four Treasures of the Study”， reflecting the harmony between nature and human creativity. Styles in Chinese painting are divided into two main types: Gongbi and Xieyi. Gongbi, or detailed painting, requires great care, using fine lines and bright colors to show royal scenes or birds and flowers. Xieyi, or freehand painting, focuses on natural expression and emotion, often seen in landscapes that use ink washes to create misty mountains or flowing rivers. Subjects in Chinese painting mirror cultural values. Landscapes dominate, symbolizing humanity's connection to nature and Taoist principles of harmony. Bird-and-flower paintings use symbols like plum blossoms and bamboo to convey moral virtues. Figure painting, from Tang Dynasty court portraits to Zhang Zeduan's Along the River During the Qingming Festival, captures historical narratives and daily life. In the 20th century, artists like Qi Baishi changed traditional styles by mixing ink painting with Western ideas. He painted shrimp with smooth, lively brushstrokes that make them look alive. Wu Guanzhong tried new ways to paint landscapes with ink, while today's artists even mix Chinese calligraphy with computer art. However, Chinese painting still acts as a bridge connecting old and new — like a poetic picture that shows the heart of Chinese culture in every brushstroke. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国画的工具材料、艺术风格、题材内涵及现当代发展，强调其以“写意”和“意境”为核心的美学理念，以及贯穿古今的文化哲学价值。 √ 5．What is the main function of Xuan paper in Chinese painting according to the passage? A．It is the only symbol of Chinese painting. B．It is used to store ink sticks and ink stones. C．It helps to create bold and forceful brush marks. D．It enables the creation of different black shades. 解析：细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Xuan paper, known for its absorbency, and ink sticks rubbed on ink stones produce varying tones of black.”可知，宣纸帮助实现墨色层次。故选D。 √ 6．What distinguishes Xieyi painting from Gongbi? A．Focus on detailed painting. B．Emphasis on emotional expression. C．Inclusion of historical figures. D．Use of fine lines and bright colors. 解析：细节理解题。 根据第三段中“Gongbi, or detailed painting, requires great care ... often seen in landscapes that use ink washes to create misty mountains or flowing rivers.”可知，写意画与工笔画的主要区别在于前者更注重情感表达而非精细描绘。故选B。 √ 7．Why does the author mention Qi Baishi and Wu Guanzhong? A．To compare them with ancient painters. B．To explain the decline of ink painting. C．To show how traditions develop. D．To criticize modern art trends. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the 20th century, artists like Qi Baishi changed traditional styles by mixing ink painting ...with computer art.”可知，齐白石将水墨画与西方理念相融合，吴冠中用笔墨探索山水画的新表现方式，两人均在传统基础上创新。由此推知，作者是以他们这样的艺术家为例说明传统的演进。故选C。 √ 8．What is the central theme of the passage? A．Exploring Chinese painting's cultural and philosophical roots. B．Comparing artistic tools in Chinese and Western painting. C．Debating the significance of ink versus color. D．Introducing famous masters of Chinese painting. 解析：选A　主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Chinese painting, or Guohua, is a centuries-old art form that weaves together ink, brushstrokes (笔触), and deep philosophical insights. Rooted in ancient traditions, it focuses on ‘Xie Yi’ and ‘Yi Jing’．”可知，文章通过工具材料、艺术风格、题材内涵及现当代发展四个维度，系统阐述了中国画如何承载哲学思想与文化价值，因此A项“探索中国画的文化和哲学根源”是其核心主题。故选A。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Do you draw to express yourself or for fun?
