module 4 fine arts western chinese and pop artssection introduction & reading pre-readingmonalisa is a 16thcentury portrait painted by leonardo da vinci during the italian renaissance (文艺复兴), which now is under the care oflouvre in paris. it is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. but who was the heroine and what is the story behind the mysterious smile?its identity remains uncertain.some researchers say that she was the widowed (寡居的) duchess of milan. others say it is possible thatshe was mona lisa gherardini, the third wife of the wealthy silk merchant francesco.the smile of mona lisa haskept people guessing. someone says that the smile originated (起源,发端) from leonardo da vincis mother, caterina. others say the smile is quite simple because women were taught to smile so as toadd an air of mystery and elegance at that time. the truth is that this style of smile was not invented by leonardo da vinci. it can be found in a number of sculptures (雕塑) from the 15th century.no one knows the truth behind this famous painting except leonardo da vinci himself, but people are so fond of it and would enjoy guessing.in fact, there are many fine art forms in western countries and china as well. itsthese fine arts and pop arts thatmake our life colourful. now lets step intothis module to learn more about them.section_introduction & reading prereadingathis is a painting by the spanish artist, pablo picasso, considered to be the greatest western artist of the twentieth century. picasso and another painter, george braque, started cubism, one of the most important of all modern art movements. cubist artists painted objects and people, with different aspects of the object or person showing at the same time.bthis painting by contemporary american artist roy lichtenstein(19231997) is a world famous example of pop art. pop art(from the word “popular”) was an important modern art movement that aimed to show ordinary twentiethcentury city life. for example, it shows things such as soup cans and advertisements.cqi baishi(18631957), one of chinas greatest painters, followed thetraditional chinesestyle of painting. chinese painting is known for its brush drawings in black inks and natural colours. qi baishi observed the world of nature very carefully, and his paintings are special because of this.painting/peinti/n.绘画;油画artist/atist/n.艺术家considered .为过去分词短语作后置定语。painter/peint/n.画家art movements 艺术流派one of .为cubism的同位语。aspect/spekt/n.方面with . showing为with复合结构。at the same time 同时contemporary/kntemprri/adj.当代的pop art 波普艺术,是一个重要的画派。aim/eim/vi.以为目标;打算;意欲aim to do sth./aim at (doing ) sth. 意欲作某事ordinary adj.普通的,平常的such as 例如,诸如can n罐头follow vt.遵循traditional/trdinl/adj.传统的;习俗的style/stail/n.风格be known for 以闻名drawing/dri/n.图画in black ink 用黑墨natural adj.自然的;天然的observe/bzv/vt.观察;注意到because of 因为,由于a这是西班牙画家巴勃罗毕加索的一幅油画,他被认为是20世纪西方最伟大的画家。毕加索和另一位名叫乔治布拉克的画家创立了立体派,这是所有现代艺术流派中最重要的流派之一。在描绘物体或人物的时候,立体派画家会同时展现描绘对象的多个不同侧面。b这幅由美国当代画家洛伊利希滕斯坦(19231997)画的油画是波普艺术闻名于世的典范。波普艺术(源自单词“popular”)是一个重要的现代艺术流派,着眼于展现20世纪普通的城市生活。比如,它会展现一些诸如汤罐头和广告之类的物品。c齐白石(18631957)是中国最伟大的画家之一,遵循了中国传统的绘画风格。中国画用毛笔蘸黑墨和天然颜料画成,并以此著称。齐白石对自然界观察得非常仔细,他的画因此而别具特色。dxu beihong(18951953) was one of chinas bestknown twentiethcentury artists. like qi baishi, xu painted in the traditional chinese style. both painters have a beautiful brush line. xu beihong believed that artists should show reality, but not just imitate it. instead, a picture should try to show the “life” of its subject. he is most famous for his lively paintings of horses. eim studying art at school, and i enjoy it a lot, although i can get tired oflooking at pictures all the time. im crazy about the paintings of qi baishi, and this delightful picture of the little shrimps is such a lovely example of his work. but i cantstand that picture of a goldenhaired girl. i think its stupid.fmy parents are fond of going to art galleries and often take me with them, so ive developed an interest in art. i must say, i love that picture of the six horses. they look soalive. its by a chinese artist, isnt it?

and bison that were drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. your first question would probably be “who did this?”this is what happened to four french boys in 1940. they found the lascaux caves. the paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17,000 years old. they were drawn by the ancient people called cromagnons.cromagnons looked much like people of today. they used tools, such as fishing nets. but their art was extremely good. the main cave at lascaux is called great hall of bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. the largest animal is 18 feet long. there are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. there is also a strange spotted twohorned (两只角的) animal.to the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours. one painting is called littlehorses. on the ceiling are horses and cows. the most unusual sight may be in the shaftofthedeadman where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird.why did cromagnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? did the drawings call upon some magic power? did the cromagnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? there is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. the cromagnons were interested in the world. they looked at beauty and they understood it.语篇解读:本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了法国lascaux岩洞内的壁画。1the author uses the word “you” in paragraph 1 to _.aattract readers attentionbmake it clear that this is a true storycgive readers good directions to find the cavesdcompare modern people with cromagnon people解析:选a推理判断题。第一段虚构了一个以读者为主人公的场景,目的是引起读者的注意。2most of the drawings in the caves are about _.aboysbtoolschumans danimals解析:选d细节理解题。根据第三、四段对壁画的描述可知,洞内的绝大多数壁画是关于动物的。3what does the passage mainly tell us?athe cave paintings are beautiful.bwho found the beautiful cave paintings.cthe lascaux caves hold colourful ancient paintings.ddrawings of horses are on the walls of the lascaux caves.解析:选c主旨大意题。文章开头介绍了发现壁画的过程,接下来描述了这些壁画。只有c项能够全面概括全文内容。a项范围太广,且有些偏题;b、d两项只是文中的细节,不能概括全文。4the passage is most probably taken from _.aa research paperba cultural magazineca science newspaperda travel guide解析:选b文章出处题。本文主要介绍了法国lascaux岩洞内的壁画。这些古老的壁画本身就是宝贵的文化遗产,因此本文最有可能来自文化方面的杂志。bbabies as young as 5 months can distinguish a happy tune, such as ode to joy, from beethovens ninth symphony, from sad tunes.researchers showed an emotionallyneutral face to the babies while sad music played. when the babies looked away from the face, the music stopped and a new sad song started. when the happier ode to joy played, the babies stared at the face three to four seconds longer, suggesting they were interested in the change.by nine months old, babies can do the_opposite.“the finding is another example of how babies make sense of the world long before they can talk,” said ross flom, psychology professor of brigham young university.“one of the first things babies understand communicatively is emotion, so for them the melody (旋律) is the message,” flom said. “our study showed that by nine months, babies are classifying songs as happy or sad the same way that adults do.”so what makes a happy song?byu music professor susan kenney, who was not involved in the study, noted some of the technical differences between the happy and sad songs the babies heard.“the happy songs were all in major keys with fairly short phrases or motives that repeated,” kenney said. “the tempo (节拍) and melodic rhythms were faster than any of the sad ones, and the melodies had a general upward direction. the sad songs were in minor keys and all had a slower beat and long melodic rhythms. for a baby to notice those differences is interesting and attractive.”语篇解读:几个月大的婴儿就能辨识快乐的音乐和悲伤的音乐,你相信吗?5the researchers did the experiment in order to _.ahelp babies learn more knowledge about musicbfind out the most popular music with babiescknow whether babies are familiar with the facedfind out whether babies would know happy songs from sad ones解析:选d推理判断题。纵观全文可知,研究的意图主要是弄清楚婴儿是否能辨别愉快的音乐和忧伤的音乐。6the phrase “the opposite” in paragraph 3 refers to “_ ”atelling the difference between ode to joy and other songsbpicking out a sad tune from happy onesclooking away from the face three to four seconds longerdshowing theyre not interested in the change of tunes解析:选b词义猜测题。此处“the opposite”指的是与第二段描述的情况相反的情况,故选b。7this musical study shows that _.aall babies are gifted in musicbmusic represents what babies want to tell uscbabies understand music emotionally even before they can talkdthe behavior of babies should be further studied解析:选c推理判断题。根据第四段中flom的话和第五段中flom的话可推知c项切题。8how do babies distinguish different tunes according to kenney?aby the tempo and rhythms.bby their emotion.cby their common sense.dby their interest.解析:选a细节理解题。由最后一段的介绍,尤其是该段第二、三句可知答案。csocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. frequently it happens that a place has two names:one is named by the people and the other by the government. as in many areas, old habits died_hard,_and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.many roads and places in singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place. this is in keeping with traditions in many countries in both the west and the east.another way of naming places is naming them after other places. perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. the mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former british bases. if you step into selector airbase you will see piccadilly circus obviously named by some homesick royal air force personnel.some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. bras basah road is an interesting example, “bras basah” means “wet rice” in malay (马来语). now why would anyone want to name a road “wet rice road”? the reason is simple. during the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.a few roads in singapore are named by their shapes. there is “circular road” for one. other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “paya lebar crescent”. this road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.语篇解读:本文讲述的是东西方文化在称呼地名时所使用的几乎一样的方法,并通过新加坡的很多地名进行了说明。9we learn from paragraph 1 that _.athe government is usually the first to name a placebmany places tend to have more than one nameca ceremony will be held when a place is nameddpeople prefer the place names given by the government解析:选b细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“frequently it happens that a place has two names:one is named by the people and the other by the government.”可知,很多地方实际上都有两个名称:一个是民间的,一个是官方的。10what does the underlined phrase “died hard” in paragraph 1 probably mean?achanged suddenly.bchanged significantly.cdisappeared mysteriously.ddisappeared very slowly.解析:选d词义猜测题。根据本句语境可知,这里的died hard和continues to be called表示的意思相反。指很多地方的正式名称慢慢地消失了,但是那些民间的称谓仍然存在。11which of the following places is named after a person?araffles place. bselector airbase.cpiccadilly circus.dpaya lebar crescent.解析:选a推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“many roads and places . thus we have names such as stamford road and raffles place.”可知很多地方都是用先驱者的名字来命名,表示纪念的意义。接下来列举了stamford road和raffles place,说明stamford和raffles代表两个先驱者的名字。12what can be inferred from the passage?asome place names in singapore are the same as in britain.bsome places in singapore are named for military purposes.cthe way singaporeans name their places is unique.dyoung singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.解析
