[Tip]
利用对比词(but/however/yet/still)解题
表示转折关系的对比词,如but、 however、 yet和still等有很强的意义强调功能,对我们判断上下文文意、推断作者态度、猜测人物心理、理清文章层次都具有举足轻重的作用。对比词在文中通常有以下几种作用:①引出作者的观点,反驳前面的观点(普遍观点); ②通过对比引出相反或相对的信息;③表明作者的态度或提出作者的建议。如本题,根据题干意思可定位至课文第三段最后两句“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.”, However后的内容是解题的关键,切忌只凭借前半句的意思武断作答。

|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 把握主体抓重点
本文是一篇艺术作品评论类文章,主要是关于三幅名画的介绍。文本分成三个独立篇章,每个篇章分成三个段落,按照逻辑顺序描述了三幅不同风格作品的内容、创作者的创作灵感和关于名画的评价。此类文章是高考阅读理解A篇的常考体裁,命题时主要就艺术作品的相关细节进行考查,题目多出自文章的主体部分,阅读时需特别注意。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.This figure is set on a bridge above a dark, stormy sea, and against a burning orange-red sky.
赏析:利用单词的熟词生义可以增强语言表达的丰富性和可读性,如:set意为“以……为背景”;against意为“以……为背景,衬托”。
2.Many experts say that The Scream is connected to Munch's mental health problems, which caused him a lot of pain.
赏析:本句中使用的cause属于高级词汇,描写既形象又恰到好处,使语言更地道,点明了专家对《呐喊》这幅画的评价。
3.The Empire of Light has produced different reactions in viewers.
赏析:本句中使用的动词produce表示“引起,导致,使产生”,属于高级词汇,表示观众对这幅画作出的反应不一样。

②His red clothes stood out clearly against_the_snow.

③Her voice after four songs can produce_a_feeling_of_peace.
四首歌曲后,她的声音能让人产生一种安详的感觉。
(二)赏句式之高
1.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.
赏析:本句中what引导主语从句,在从句中作主语;that引导表语从句。使用名词性从句开头,引出这幅画具有冲击力的地方所在,突出画作欣赏的重点。
2.It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside, surrounded by the darkness of night.
赏析:本句中含有两个过去分词短语作定语的非谓语结构,均修饰a beautiful house。
3.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.
赏析:本句中“was doing ...when ...”是固定句型,表示“正在做某事,这时(突然)……”;现在分词shaking作伴随状语,生动形象地描绘出蒙克的灵感来源。

①What_matters_most_in_her_life (她生命中最重要的) is her children's health and safety.
②The participants will read some classic works like poems written_by_Qu_Yuan (屈原写的).
③It was_raining_hard_when_we_set_off (我们出发时正下着大雨).
(三)赏文笔之美
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. 赏析:最好的画作不仅仅体现在创作的技巧上,更重要的是能够真实地反映创作者的情感。凡·高的创作风格不仅意境美,更是他所看所想的真实写照。人与画共存,情真意切。
[提能训练] (欣赏并补全句子)
In the evening, we usually sit_around_the_fire,_listening to beautiful songs and eating_delicious_food.
傍晚,我们通常围坐在篝火旁,听着美妙的歌声,吃着美味的食物。
(四)赏修辞之功
1.He also took a drug that can make people see yellow spots, just like the stars in The Starry Night.
赏析:此句运用了“明喻”的修辞手法,把黄色斑点比作星星,达到了进一步解释说明的效果。
2.Beneath this amazing sky, we see a sleeping village and a dark, lonely tree.
赏析:此句运用了“拟人”的修辞手法,生动形象地介绍了星空下的村庄和树木。

Live from the Louvre
Hi, it's Zack! Greetings from Paris, everyone!This broadcast is being brought to you from one of the largest museums on Earth — the Louvre!Today we're going to find out about some of the Louvre's most amazing treasures.
Now, at the top of these stone stairs ... get a load of that!That huge sculpture you can see is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace! I can't even begin to tell you how amazing this is! It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky and is standing on a ship.Her head and arms are missing, but you can imagine her holding her arms up high, . And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind!I really can't believe she's made of stone.The skill of the sculptor is just incredible.
Okay, I'd better move on.You can see there are so many people here. I'm being pushed around quite a bit, in fact. And you're really going to love .It's the one and only Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than you would expect, and is protected by glass.But from here I can get a good view to show you. When I look into her eyes !One moment she seems to be laughing at me, but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile.I guess
.
And now, it's time to get up close and personal with one of history's greatest artists — Rembrandt! He painted this self-portrait about 400 years ago.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?
About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything! I'll say bye for now, and hope you can all visit this fantastic place one day to feel the power of these great works of art for yourselves.They really do reach out to us across the centuries as if time itself were nothing.By the way, if you have enjoyed this live broadcast, subscribe to find out where I'm visiting next!
