Why people collect art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art. But what motivates these collectors
One popular explanation for collecting art is that they can have financial gain. Some resell artworks, earning enormous profit. 1 . Immorally, some “collectors” purchase art as a form of money laundering(洗钱), since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
2 . For them, art is important for other reasons. The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means of creating and strengthening social bonds, and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Not only are collectors fond of creating social links, but they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created. We all know art is a powerful way for the artist to express thoughts and feelings. 3 . Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who he sees himself as.
4 . Through the collections, collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the world as a whole. For example, the kid with the shoebox made of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends, but to convince them of the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. 5 .
A.Some gain artworks in an illegal way
B.But most collectors think little of profit
C.Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers
D.No doubt art collecting is an addiction hard to overcome
E.Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums
F.It also serves as an effective way for collectors to express themselves
G.Other art collectors see their collections as having a broader power

Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honor Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the most influential artists and creative thinkers of all time. His most famous and representative paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting—Landscape 8P, which they think is Da Vinci's earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there are two images, not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5,1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this “mirror writing”. It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells about an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, “Leonardo was born left-handed, but was taught to write with his right hand from a very young age. By looking at his writing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples(样本)and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The artwork is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It will be part of an exhibition at the Uffizi Gallery in Italy. The gallery director, Eike Schmidt, said the artwork is worthy of our attention, and that by studying it,researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing techniques and his abilities in writing.
1.What does the writing on the back probably tell about
A.A statement about the painting.
B.An agreement to produce a painting.
C.An introduction of Leonardo.
D.Something about the city of Florence.
2.What can we learn about Leonardo from Cecilia's words
A.He did bad in right-handed handwriting.
B.He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
C.He could write with both of his hands.
D.He taught himself to write with the right hand.
3.What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research
A.Unclear.
B.Indifferent.
C.Positive.
D.Doubtful.

When it comes to the most influential painters of the United States in the 20th century, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself, “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in the domestic service sector until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then at Eagle Bridge in New York State. She had ten children, five of whom survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and she was really fond of embroidery (刺绣), but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff (僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who purchased all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with an amazing sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it,” she said.
4.What can we learn about Grandma Moses
A.She painted oils as a child.
B.Her marriage life was not happy.
C.She stopped painting in her late seventies.
D.She still led an active life when she was old.
5.What did Grandma Moses spend most of her life doing
A.Embroidering.
B.Farming.
C.Nursing.
D.Painting.
6.What does the underlined word “portrayals” in the last paragraph mean
A.Directions.
B.Stages.
C.Surveys.
D.Descriptions.
7.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.Grandma Moses:the Best Woman Painter
B.Grandma Moses and Her Farm Life
C.Grandma Moses and Her Exhibition
D.Grandma Moses:a Famous Woman Painter of the 20th Century

If you have ever been in a school play or even made to believe you were a doctor, a detective, or a space traveler, you will know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone—or something else. 1
In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2200 B.C., trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and made up at harvest festivals. 2
To the dance was gradually added pantomime—the imitation of movements and gestures—as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.
While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a kind of highly specialized and influential art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom. 3
Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide. 4
A special form of acting took place in the form of radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face a unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.
5 Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.
A.The origin of acting is in the act of remembering.
B.Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.
C.It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.
D.Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself.
E.Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to reputation and wealth.
F.Therefore, they had little opportunity to show their individual personalities.
G.Broadway(百老汇) and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talents.

Chinese painting, also known as the traditional national painting, one of the traditional paintings with a long history, has its unique and independent system. Using brushes, ink, and Chinese pigments(颜料), Chinese painting is drawn on a special kind of paper (Xuan paper) or silk. The traditional subjects are figures, landscapes, flowers and birds.
In comparison with Western painting, Chinese painting has its own artistic characteristics. After a careful study of the object, a painter can discover the rules of its structure and frames, and then produce it by the mind's eye. It is not only a simple copy, but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the painter, turning a natural image into an “artistic image”. The object can convey the artist's feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in spirit, but also in appearance”. Not all objects are to be drawn on the paper, and much space is left for imagination. The use of lines is important in Chinese painting. Clear, swift, sharp and changeable lines are combined with the push, point and press of the brush and ink to show the quality of the object and variations of the tone(色调). Ancient Chinese artists listed 18 different ways of drawing lines with the brush in figure painting. Different ways of creating lines were used when painting a landscape, flowers and birds, clouds and bamboos.
Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy are different branches of art dating from the same origin. They use the same kind of tools and all the lines used in painting are variations of the points and lines of calligraphy. Though they are different artistic forms, they are closely linked in terms of their expression of thoughts and feelings. They influence each other to create another artistic feature.
1.The writer believes that a traditional Chinese painter's picture .
A.reflects social problems of his times
B.describes mainly a natural image
C.expresses his thoughts
D.tells a true story
2.It can be inferred that a traditional Chinese painter spent much time .
A.traveling
B.learning to draw lines
C.reading
D.studying calligraphy before drawing
3.What do traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy have in common
A.Using the similar techniques.
B.Starting from the same period.
C.Belonging to the same artistic form.
D.Covering the same themes.

I sat in the breakfast corner with my four-year-old son, Matthew, trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. I was still recovering from surgery. I hoped for strength and happiness. But the future seemed so hopeless, I'd always wanted five or six kids. Three surgeries later, that dream would never come true.
Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to the sliding door. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子)seated on a rubber tree. It sat there a few moments, and then flew away. I'd never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying twigs(细枝). “Look, Matthew,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They're going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on the top of the rubber tree. Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding door, talking to the doves while they worked. As much as I was grieving(悲伤), I couldn't help but look forward to the doves' visits too. We watched their progress as if it had been a real-life soap opera unfolding before us. I'd do the cooking and for a moment, my pain disappeared, replaced by joy.
Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree's broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew through, throwing the doves' nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn't blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from scratch(从头开始), though the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they renewed their efforts, as if nothing had happened.
Paragraph 1:
I knew I had to do something.
Paragraph 2:
“The birds are back!”Matthew announced.

Paragraph 1:
I knew I had to do something. The doves had given me something to look forward to, even on my darkest days. I was going to help them in return. I woke up the following morning with a plan. There was only an hour before the time when the doves usually made their visits. I looked through the garage for an old piece of shelving. I leaned a stepladder by the sliding door, hammered the shelving into the wall next to the rubber tree and covered it with leaves so it looked like part of the tree. Then Matthew and I stood by the door, waiting and hoping.
Paragraph 2:
“The birds are back!” Matthew announced. There they were adding bits and pieces to the new nest. “It works! The doves are back.”We watched three chicks break free from their shells. Life was filled with wonders and surprises like a pair of white doves building a nest on the top of a rubber tree, with me waiting and hoping.Unit 1Art同步巩固练-part 2

We see art everywhere around us. In parks, city squares, shopping streets and public buildings, we find modern art objects on display. Classical art, such as valuable paintings and precious sculptures, usually ends up as the collections of museums, companies or rich people.
Both art and architecture have a history of ages. All forms and ways of expressing the beautiful things have been explored. In the case of architecture, many buildings designed in the past have proven beautiful and served their purposes. Governments and companies could save millions of dollars by copying the architecture of buildings from the past. There are still many designs for buildings made by famous architects that were never realized. Besides, some people find modern architecture ugly. So why should we make an investment in architecture for designing new buildings
The same holds for modern art, both paintings and statues. Many storerooms contain enough art to decorate all public buildings and other public places. There is no need to create more art, and as with modern architecture,many people find new art difficult to understand or appreciate.
Given these facts, why are architects and artists asked to create new artworks The answers have to do with the function of art in society today. First of all, the function of art is to decorate things. Artworks make our living environment more beautiful. Another function of art is enriching real life. Art helps people to learn to think creatively. In art things are not always what they seem to be. Very often you can hardly tell what the funny art objects are. People need such creative moments. Finally, art is often seen as a way to instruct the audience. Statues of heroes from the past remind us of our history. Paintings and other art objects can also help us realize what goals we should set for ourselves.
Because ideas about social change and every period of time have their own tastes, there is always a need for new art. We can still appreciate the beautiful artworks made in the past, but they are often too valuable to be placed in public buildings. Besides, they also often need special protection.
1.According to the passage, who owns collections of ancient statues and paintings
A.Parks or city squares.
B.Shopping streets or public buildings.
