一.阅读理解
Chinese painting 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 frame, and then produce it by the mind’ eye. Not only is it a simple copy, but it combines the object with the artistic concept of the painter, turning a natural image into an “artistic image”. The image 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.mainly describes 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 similar techniques. B.Starting from the same period.
C.Belonging to the same artistic form. D.Covering the same themes.
Ⅰ.1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的The image can convey the artist's feelings and personality to achieve the effect of “being alike not only in spirit, but also in appearance”.可知,作者认为一个中国传统画家的画表达了他的思想。故选C。A、D两项在文章中均未提及;由第二段中的Not only is it a simple...“artistic image”.可知B项错误。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的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.可知,在人物画中,中国古代画家列举了18种不同的用画笔画线的方法;在画风景、花鸟、云彩和竹子时,他们会使用不同的方法来画出线条。由此推知,一位传统的中国画家要花很多时间学习画线条。故选B。其他三项在文中均未提及。最后一段确实说到了书法,但只是说绘画与书法间的关系,并未提到画家在绘画前要研究书法,故D项错。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的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.可知,中国传统绘画和书法是不同的艺术分支,它们有着相同的起源。它们使用同样的工具,绘画中使用的所有线条都是书法的点和线的变体。由此可知,书法和绘画使用类似的技巧。故选A。最后一段中提到二者有相同的起源并未说它们开始于同一时期,故B选项错误;由最后一段中的Though they are different artistic forms可知C项错误;D项“涵盖相同的主题”在文中未提及。
