长难句分析
After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance,she has been known as the “Peacock Princess”.(教材第39页)
1986年,她凭借《雀之灵》在全国舞蹈大赛上折桂。此后,她成了家喻户晓的“孔雀公主”。
该句中After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance使用了省略。该部分完整形式为:After she won a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance...,当状语从句主语与主句主语一致时,可将从句中的主语省略,谓语动词根据所表达的主被动关系确定使用-ing形式还是-ed形式,该句中,win与句子主语she之间为主动关系,故用动词-ing形式。

world-class restaurants,and famous events.The town is also home to creatives of all types,including many talented visual artists.When you visit,take the time to explore Park City’s many inviting art galleries found along its pleasant streets and get to know its creative side.
To find art galleries in Park City,all you need to do is wandering down Main Street.Between restaurants and shops,there are dozens of galleries worth visiting.

In Mark Turin’s article Protecting Our Public Spaces in issue 14, he claims that “all graffiti (涂鸦) is vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为), pure and simple, and offers no benefit to our public spaces”.I would like to point out that many people believe that graffiti is an art form that can benefit our public spaces just as much as sculptures, fountains, or other more accepted art forms.
People who object to graffiti usually do so more because of where it is, not what it is.They argue that posting graffiti in public places is considered an illegal act of property damage.But the location of such graffiti should not prevent the images themselves from being considered real art.
I would argue that graffiti is the most important public art form.Spray paint is a medium unlike any other.Through graffiti, the entire world has become a canvas (画布).These works of art dotting the urban landscape are available, free of charge, to everyone who passes by.
To be clear, I do not consider random words or names sprayed on stop signs to be art.Plenty of graffiti is just vandalism, pure and simple.However, there is also graffiti that is breathtaking in its complex detail, its realism, or its creativity.It takes great talent to create such involved designs with spray paint.Are these creators not artists just because they use a can of spray paint instead of a paintbrush
To declare that all graffiti is vandalism, and nothing more, is an overly simplistic statement.Furthermore, graffiti is not going anywhere, so we might as well find a way to live with it and enjoy its benefits.One option could be to make a percentage of public spaces open to graffiti artists.By doing this, the public might feel like part owners of these works of art, rather than just the victims of a crime.
语篇导读:本文是一篇议论文。文章通过论述涂鸦与公共空间的关系,进而探讨涂鸦是否为艺术。作者认为判断其是否为艺术应该根据涂鸦的质量而非存在的地方。阅读本文,有利于培养学生的批判性思维,提升学生的艺术鉴赏能力。
4.Mark Turin apparently believes that graffiti .
A.is not an art form
B.is too simple to be considered art
C.can only sometimes be considered a work of art

A.is the only art form that is free
B.should be judged on artistic qualities rather than places
C.provides more public benefits than sculptures do
D.is best viewed on public walls rather than canvases
答案及剖析:
5.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据对全文的整体理解,尤其是第二段的最后一句可知,作者认为评价涂鸦应该根据其艺术品质而不是其所在地点。故选B。
6.The author concludes his passage by .
A.restating his position
B.questioning the magazine
C.offering an answer to the matter
D.identifying the benefits of graffiti
答案及剖析:
6.C 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据最后一段的内容,尤其是第三句可推知,作者是通过提供一个解决办法来结束文章的。故选C。

答案及剖析:
1.combining 考查非谓语动词。根据谓语动词is可以判断空处的动词用非谓语形式;且“京剧”与“结合”是主动关系,故填combining。
2.arose 考查动词时态。根据时间状语可判断用一般过去时。故填arose。
3.fully 考查副词。修饰动词应该用副词形式。故填fully。
4.the 考查冠词。朝代是专有名词,前面要用定冠词表示特指。故填the。
5.cultural 考查形容词。修饰名词应该用形容词。故填cultural。

8.is evaluated 考查动词时态和语态。京剧表演者的表演技巧是依靠表演动作的优美来评判的,所以用被动语态。故填is evaluated。

In Mark Turin’s article Protecting Our Public Spaces in issue 14, he claims that “all graffiti (涂鸦) is vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为), pure and simple, and offers no benefit to our public spaces”.I would like to point out that many people believe that graffiti is an art form that can benefit our public spaces just as much as sculptures, fountains, or other more accepted art forms.
People who object to graffiti usually do so more because of where it is, not what it is.They argue that posting graffiti in public places is considered an illegal act of property damage.But the location of such graffiti should not prevent the images themselves from being considered real art.
I would argue that graffiti is the most important public art form.Spray paint is a medium unlike any other.Through graffiti, the entire world has become a canvas (画布).These works of art dotting the urban landscape are available, free of charge, to everyone who passes by.
To be clear, I do not consider random words or names sprayed on stop signs to be art.Plenty of graffiti is just vandalism, pure and simple.However, there is also graffiti that is breathtaking in its complex detail, its realism, or its creativity.It takes great talent to create such involved designs with spray paint.Are these creators not artists just because they use a can of spray paint instead of a paintbrush
To declare that all graffiti is vandalism, and nothing more, is an overly simplistic statement.Furthermore, graffiti is not going anywhere, so we might as well find a way to live with it and enjoy its benefits.One option could be to make a percentage of public spaces open to graffiti artists.By doing this, the public might feel like part owners of these works of art, rather than just the victims of a crime.
4.Mark Turin apparently believes that graffiti .
A.is not an art form
B.is too simple to be considered art
C.can only sometimes be considered a work of art
D.should be restricted to places where it is allowed
5.The author argues that graffiti .
A.is the only art form that is free
B.should be judged on artistic qualities rather than places
C.provides more public benefits than sculptures do
D.is best viewed on public walls rather than canvases
6.The author concludes his passage by .
A.restating his position
B.questioning the magazine
C.offering an answer to the matter
D.identifying the benefits of graffiti

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的京剧,它结合了音乐、有声表演、哑剧表演、舞蹈、杂技等多种表演形式,堪称中华文化的瑰宝。阅读本文,有利于促进学生对中国文化的深入了解,激发民族文化自豪感,增强文化自信。
答案及剖析:
1.combining 考查非谓语动词。根据谓语动词is可以判断空处的动词用非谓语形式;且“京剧”与“结合”是主动关系,故填combining。
2.arose 考查动词时态。根据时间状语可判断用一般过去时。故填arose。
3.fully 考查副词。修饰动词应该用副词形式。故填fully。
4.the 考查冠词。朝代是专有名词,前面要用定冠词表示特指。故填the。
5.cultural 考查形容词。修饰名词应该用形容词。故填cultural。
6.preserved 考查非谓语动词。根据后面的主语“the art form”和谓语动词is可知,此处动词用非谓语形式,前后主语一致,“艺术形式”与“保留”是被动关系,故填preserved。
7.Performers 考查名词。根据句意和谓语动词use可知,主语要用名词复数形式,故填Performers。
8.is evaluated 考查动词时态和语态。京剧表演者的表演技巧是依靠表演动作的优美来评判的,所以用被动语态。故填is evaluated。
9.into 考查介词。be divided into意为“被分成”,故填into。
10.whose/where 考查定语从句。先行词是works,关系词在定语从句中作characters的定语,也可以理解为抽象的地点状语。故填whose/where。(共63张PPT)

话题延伸·素养升华
Ⅰ.阅读
Life can sometimes seem like an endless series of exhibitions.For those of us involved in the art world, there are times when we’re constantly visiting gallery (画廊) after gallery, taking in as much as possible and getting to know the works of artists from far and wide.But there are some artists whose works consistently stand out.Some
artists’ works stay in the thought and heart of an audience long after the show is over.I’ve noticed over the years that these are often the artists who have fully understood the skill of telling the story behind their art.These artists aren’t just selling paintings—they’re selling an experience.
Roxanna Kibsey is one of these artists.Her paintings are often exact description of frozen tundra (冻原) or autumn trees—so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas.When I met her at an exhibition she couldn’t wait to tell me about the place in her paintings.“Where I grew up we had nine months of winter every year.It’s really quite a tough place,” she said.She relived a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her painting.The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snow-covered countryside during my own first winter in Canada.I could almost hear the crunching ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.
Businessmen may have their elevator pitch, but artists, too, need their 30-second story which rolls freely off the tongue.That’s why it’s so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can conjure up (唤起) a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.

Ⅰ.阅读
Life can sometimes seem like an endless series of exhibitions.For those of us involved in the art world, there are times when we’re constantly visiting gallery (画廊) after gallery, taking in as much as possible and getting to know the works of artists from far and wide.But there are some artists whose works consistently stand out.Some artists’ works stay in the thought and heart of an audience long after the show is over.I’ve noticed over the years that these are often the artists who have fully understood the skill of telling the story behind their art.These artists aren’t just selling paintings—they’re selling an experience.
Roxanna Kibsey is one of these artists.Her paintings are often exact description of frozen tundra (冻原) or autumn trees—so bright that they could nearly burn a hole in the canvas.When I met her at an exhibition she couldn’t wait to tell me about the place in her paintings.“Where I grew up we had nine months of winter every year.It’s really quite a tough place,” she said.She relived a part of her childhood when we chatted in front of her painting.The image brought to my mind memories of driving through the snow-covered countryside during my own first winter in Canada.I could almost hear the crunching ice under my feet as she described to me the countryside she grew up in.
Businessmen may have their elevator pitch, but artists, too, need their 30-second story which rolls freely off the tongue.That’s why it’s so important that for each piece you might be exhibiting, you can conjure up (唤起) a story behind it, and tell that story to your audience in a way that helps them connect with your work, and makes them want to buy a piece.
1.What kind of artists does the author like
A.Those who have great skills.
B.Those who have held many exhibitions.
C.Those who paint scenes of their own hometowns.
D.Those who tell their experiences through their paintings.
2.Through Roxanna Kibsey’s painting, the author .
A.had a beautiful imagination
B.thought of a serious question
C.brought back his own memory
D.thought of his own hometown
3.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .
A.Kibsey’s work reflects her own life
B.Kibsey had an unhappy childhood
C.Kibsey doesn’t like her hometown
D.Kibsey’s hometown is beautiful in winter
4.What does the underlined part “elevator pitch” probably refer to
A.A wise choice.
B.A sales introduction.
C.A small mistake.
D.A modern tool.

4.B 猜测短语题。考查学生在具体语境中推测短语意义的能力。根据最后一段的内容可知,商人的“elevator pitch”就等同于画家的“30-second story”,是一种“产品推介”,用来吸引买家。故选B。

In Britain,if you break the law,you can be sent to a prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as cleaning public places and helping the old.There are two sorts of prisons.The open sort and the closed sort.In the closed sort,prisoners are given very little freedom.They spend three to ten hours outside their rooms when they exercise,eat,study,learn skills,watch TV and talk to other prisoners.All prisoners are expected to work.Most of them are paid for what they do,whether it is cooking or cleaning.Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night,but for the rest of the time,they are free within the prison grounds.They can exercise,have visitors,or study.And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.

“Folk singers are more like poets than singers,” Li,a music businessman,once told China Youth Daily.
That saying perfectly describes Zhang,the 34-year-old champion of a famous singing program.
Critics thought Zhang’s success as a victory for folk singers.The program used to attach great importance to singing skills and vocal techniques,which are not necessarily what folk singers are good at.“Folk songs are more about emotions and storytelling,” said Li.
Folk is one of the oldest musical styles.It dates back to ancient times,when people sang about their everyday lives and the society around them.
A Powerful Comeback
Folk music became popular again in the Western world in the 1960s.During social revolutions,many young Westerners turned to the simple rhythms of folk.Pioneers included US singers,whose songs are reflections of some social issues.Singers at that time used traditional folk instruments like the banjo,the upright bass,the mandolin and the piano.
In the late 1970s,folk music was introduced to Taiwan,China.The rise of singers popularised folk music,particularly among young Chinese people.
At that time,folk tunes were based on simple song structures,with pleasant chord progression and pretty lyrics,just like during old times.But they focused more on the dreams and sorrow of youth than on politics.
This continued to be the case when the folk “wave” swept Chinese mainland in the 1990s.
Folk Pioneers
Sadly,it didn’t last long in China.Folk gave way to pop in the late 1990s,when people started living more fast-paced lives.But that didn’t mean folk music had disappeared from the music world entirely.
“The drop in the popularity of folk songs is because the business mode of the music industry is outdated,not because of the music itself,” a folk singer once said.
He was right.Recent years have seen folk songs gaining popularity,with the appearance of some famous singers.
“The popularity of the Internet has shocked the traditional profit model in music industry,” Lu,manager of a music recording and publishing company,told the media.
“Not-so-well-known music starts showing its strength when the production of mainstream music is declining,” he added.
24.The underlined word “it” in the last but five paragraph means .
A.the popularity of folk music
B.the focus of folk music
C.the tradition of folk pioneers
D.the new model of pop music
25.Which statement is true according to the passage
A.The singing program is very popular among young Chinese people.
B.Folk music once was a way to voice opinions about social issues.
C.Folk songs are more about expressing emotions than storytelling.
D.Outdated music mode is what leads to the decline of folk songs.
26.Which word can best describe the attitude of Lu towards folk music
A.Objective. B.Confident.
C.Critical. D.Worried.
27.Which would be the best title of the passage
A.The History of Folk Music
B.Folk Music Pioneers
C.The Folk Music Industry
D.A Famous Singing Program

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience,a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe (开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural (神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil.“What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer,vice president of a Montreal-based medical association,explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin,a neurotransmitter (神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer,the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise,making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods.As Bondil notes,spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction.“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says.“When you enter the museum,you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century,culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil.“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century,and sports were believed to do harm to the body.Just as doctors now prescribe exercise,they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
28.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits
A.They can cheer people up.
B.They can reduce physical activity.
C.They can slow down our life pace.
D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.
29.How do museum visits affect people
A.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
B.Stop them concentrating on pain.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
30.What does the last paragraph suggest
A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
31.What is the main idea of the text
A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D.Cultural activities will promote health.

Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School,but poetry is still a big part of his life,now with a new teacher,Rafael Campo,who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work.Rafael is a physician,professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients.I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry.And if we do anything when we’re with our patients,
we’re really immersing (使沉浸于) ourselves in their stories,really hearing their voices.And,certainly,that’s what a poem does,”he said.
Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today:humanity,which he finds in poetry.To end that,he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).
He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients,and poems can help close that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars.She said,“I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does.And I think that is because there’s just so much power in doctors and patients’ interacting,when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should do,though.
Rafael said,“I was afraid of how people might judge me,actually.In the medical profession,as many people know,we must always put the emergency first.But,you know,that kind of treatment,if it’s happening in the hospital,very regrettably,sadly,results in a bad outcome.The family is sitting by the bedside.The patient hasn’t survived the cancer.Don’t we still have a role as healers there ”
In a poem titled “Health”,Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world whose pain was replaced by our incurable joy.He says he will continue teaching students,helping patients and writing poems,his own brand of medicine.
32.What do we know about Rafael Campo
A.He works as a doctor.
B.He is under medical care.
C.He is a literature professor.
D.He knows little about poetry.
33.What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2
A.The importance of medical training.
B.The effect of poetry in medical treatment.
C.The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.
D.The present relationship between patients and doctors.
34.What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry
A.It comforts patients’ family.
B.It keeps doctors away from patients.
C.It has nothing to do with doctors.
D.It contributes to medical work.
35.What is Rafael Campo’s view on poetry
A.It requires a lot of spare time.
B.It can provide a useful tool for doctors.
C.It has little effect on patients’ conditions.
D.It should be included in emergency treatments.

A young and successful manager was travelling down a neighbourhood street,going a bit too fast in his new car.He was watching for kids darting out (窜出) from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed,no children appeared.Instead,a brick hit violently into the car’s side door!He stepped on the brakes and backed his car back to the spot where the brick had been thrown.
The angry driver then jumped out of the car,grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car,shouting,“What was that all about and who are you Just what are you doing That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.Why did you do it ”
The young boy was apologetic.“Please,mister...please,I’m sorry but I
didn’t know what else to do,” he explained.“I threw the brick because no one else would stop...” With tears rolling down his face and off his chin (下巴),the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.“It’s my brother,” he said.“He rolled off the sidewalk and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing (呜咽),the boy asked the astonished manager,“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”

One possible version:
Moved beyond words,the driver cooled his anger.He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair.On seeing the bleeding cuts,the man took out his white handkerchief and wiped the wound gently with great care.A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.When the driver was about to leave,the young brother stepped forward.“Thank you,” said the grateful child,tears filling his eyes.
The driver watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long,slow walk back to the car.The damage was very noticeable,but the driver never bothered to repair the damaged side door.He kept it there to remind him of this message:“Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!” When life whispers in your souls and speaks to your hearts,sometimes you don’t have time to listen,or life has to throw a brick at you.It’s your choice to listen or not.
