Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测]　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Do you remember reading an article called Kouji in middle school? In it, a kouji performer, specializing in vocal mimicry (模仿), creates lifelike performances of various sounds using just his mouth, with the stage having only a table, a block of wood on it, a chair and a fan. Originating from ancient China, the art of kouji involves skillfully using movements of the lips, teeth, throat, and tongue to produce sounds that mimic birds, animals, and various other noises in the world. It is often combined with story-telling during performances. In 2011, kouji was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. According to a website, traditional kouji is becoming endangered due to the rapid development of electronic audio. However, Cao Quyang, a 28-year-old inheritor, has found a solution by combining kouji with beatboxing, achieving a perfect combination of traditional and modern performance art. Cao started learning kouji in 2016 when she wanted to bring something original to her beatboxing performance. “As a former percussionist (打击乐器演奏者), I'm sensitive to rhythm, so I integrated the kouji techniques I learned into beatboxing and created my own unique style in my area of expertise，” she added. For example, when mimicking environmental sounds like wind, Cao can use her mouth to weave beatboxing into it, making the sound of the wind stronger and more rhythmic.“The addition of beatboxing brings more musical expression to kouji performances, making the stories more vivid and appealing to today's young audiences，” said Cao. In addition to kouji and beatboxing, Cao can also play the Chinese drums, drum set, and piano, as well as work as a DJ. “Innovation is not difficult for me. To me, innovation is simply expressing something that people don't understand in a way they do，” said Cao. “As long as it combines tradition and modernity and allows the public to appreciate the beauty of tradition through innovation, I'm willing to do it.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的一种传统表演艺术——口技，以及一位年轻的传承人曹曲央如何将口技与现代beatboxing相结合，创造出独特的表演风格，为口技的传承和发展做出了贡献。 1．Why is the article called Kouji in middle school mentioned in paragraph 1?

Examples of man's artistic genius (天赋) stand on nearly every street. Dozens of museums and art shops wait to be explored. During the Renaissance, Florence was a paradise for artists themselves. Before this time, art focused completely on religious subjects. Renaissance art began to include more variety. Artists painted pictures of ordinary people. They painted scenes from history and characters from Greek and Roman myths (神话)． Michelangelo was the greatest of Florence's artists. Visitors line up for hours at the Accademia Museum for a look at his impressive David. This 14-foot-high statue has become the ideal human figure of the Renaissance. David is an example of Michelangelo's talent for sculpting people simply, yet powerfully. More of Michelangelo's works can be seen in the great Palazzo Vecchio. Paintings and carvings of famous Italian artists fill the palace rooms. A short walk through the narrow streets of Florence brings visitors to the famous Uffizi Gallery. It has an outstanding art collection. Visitors should be sure to wear comfortable shoes, as exploring the gallery takes many hours. Some of the most famous works in the collection include Botticelli's Primavera and The Birth of Venus. Even visitors tired of art won't want to miss the Pitti Palace. Once home to Florence's powerful Medici family, the large palace now houses three museums. Filled with priceless art, the countless rooms glitter (闪光) with gold decorations. For a breath of fresh air, wander among the statues and fountains of the palace gardens. To get a feel of modern Florence, join the evening walk. This traditional feature of Italian life begins around 6：00 pm. People walk down the streets of central Florence to do last-minute shopping or just chat with friends. Be sure to walk past Perch Noi, home of the oldest and best ice cream in the city. Florence has given the world many great art treasures. Some stand in gardens and squares. Others line the walls of beautiful palaces. Still others are the palaces themselves. For art lovers, Florence is indeed paradise. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了意大利的佛罗伦萨，它是艺术爱好者的天堂，拥有众多的艺术博物馆。 5．What can we learn about Renaissance art? A．Its diversity increased. B．It reflected artists' lives.

My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. That was not so bad — what really troubled me was that before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. __9__ Anyway, who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool? First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. __10__ Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. __11__ On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. __12__ The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I could hardly take my eyes away from that painting! __13__ It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much. A．In it, a woman was reading to a child. B．That felt almost as bad as being in school. C．The two paintings were so similar to each other! D．I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! E．I was immediately attracted by the strange way of painting faces. F．Staring at those pictures, I still couldn't see what was so great about art. G．Unusual styles of art always attracted my brother, but I was not interested. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要叙述了作者在参观艺术博物馆前，母亲都要求作者先了解一些艺术相关的知识，这让作者不悦。然而，十岁那年的艺术博物馆之旅让作者对艺术的态度发生了改变。 9．选B　上文介绍真正让作者困扰的是，每次参观博物馆之前，母亲都会让他们阅读有关艺术家和绘画风格的书。空处应该介绍作者对母亲这种要求的评价和感受，故B项符合语境。 10．选G　由“First ...then ...Later ...”可知，该段具体介绍了作者和弟弟去博物馆参观前所做的一系列准备。下文中的“On our last visit ...something happened ...”表示作者对艺术有了不一样的看法。结合选项设置，空处应谈论作者对这种奇怪艺术风格的负面看法。G项中的“Unusual styles”和上句中的“strange way”是近义词复现。 11．选F　上文提到他们不得不看那些长着翅膀、头发卷曲、没穿衣服的胖婴儿在画的边缘飞翔的画作。结合语境，空处应进一步介绍作者对这些画作的看法。由此可知，此处应承接上文说明作者依然欣赏不了这些艺术画作。 12．选A　上文引出了让作者态度发生转变的一幅画，下文则具体介绍这幅画的色彩以及画中母亲的表情等。根据语境衔接需要，空处也应具体描述画的内容，故选A项。 13．选D　上文介绍作者的眼睛几乎无法从那幅画上移开，下文作者感慨为了找到一位让自己如此感兴趣的画家，看了这么多画真的很值得。由此可知，作者喜欢上了玛丽的画作。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
