Section Ⅰ　“Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 [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?

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：选D　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：选B　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：选C　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?
