The Starry Night

A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter’s traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood,without glue,screws or nails.Wang Dewen,known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube,has been praised as the modern-day Lu Ban,a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty,thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge.
Grandpa Amu’s most popular video,which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge,has gone viral on YouTube,gaining more than 40 million views.“If you do something,you have to love it,and you have to be interested in it;however,being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.
His most popular works include a folding stool,a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo,and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle,known as a Lu Ban lock.Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique,which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.
The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique.His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine.Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube,Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.
His wonderful woodworking skills,using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City,were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province.“The grandson is so happy,as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by Grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen;while another said “It’s amazing.I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!”

Art is an important part of any children’s education and upbringing.Giving your child an appreciation for art encourages imagination,creativity,self-expression and clear thinking.It helps self-confidence and can even support growth in math and reading. 1 Taking painting for example,you can try the following tips.
2 If possible,take your child to museums or show your child books on art and artists every day.It’s important to allow them to create,experiment and discover.Give them access to a wide variety of supplies and allow your child to make their own decisions about what supplies to use.
Talk to your child about their creations.Discussing art with your child encourages reflection (反思) and critical thinking.Invite your child to tell you about their painting. 3 Discuss about the emotions when they create the artworks.Readily offer praise,and avoid judging their work — especially at younger ages.Remember,the process of creating art is more important than the end product.
Enroll (登记) your child in art classes.There may be after-school programs,or lessons at your local library or community college.If many choices are ready,consider allowing your child to pick what they’d like to try. 4

Cimabue,the greatest painter of the Middle Ages in Italy,was surprised one day after his lunch break to discover that a fly had seated itself under the nose of a character that he had been working on.He swatted the fly,but it didn’t move.He reached out to touch the insect,only to find it was only wet paint.Turning around,he saw that his apprentice (学徒),Giotto,was laughing.Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away,and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.
Giotto di Bondone was born into a poor family in a village.Legend has it that one day,when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside,he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep,which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint.That was how Giotto’s story began in Florence,where the young student grew under Cimabue’s instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill.
At that time,people in paintings didn’t look real,and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with.Innovation was not stressed,so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.
However,Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way.His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes for the Arena Chapel.Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then,he painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and beautiful people that other artists painted.He created three-dimensional space by using perspective,something that had not been done since Roman times.
In addition to painting,Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans.When Giotto was in his sixties,he painted the Ognissanti Madonna,another famous work of art.He continued working until the age of seventy.The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 1
A.There was a fly landing on the painting.
B.The fly was covered with wet paint.
C.It was Cimabue who painted the fly.
D.Cimabue was tricked into believing the fly was real.
2.What can we learn about Giotto di Bondone from the text
A.He was born into a poor family in the city of Florence.
B.All the people he painted were tall and beautiful.
C.Besides painting,he was also involved in other fields.
D.He continued working until the age of sixty.
3.What made Giotto’s works remarkable at that time
A.Vivid colors.
B.Classic skills.
C.Decorative styles.
D.Lifelike characters.
4.Which of the following can be the main idea of the text
A.A brief introduction to the great painter Giotto.
B.The development of art since the Middle Ages.
C.The influence Cimabue had on Giotto.

An exhibition of Song Buyun’s works is now running at the museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.The exhibition will run through Feb.27.
These days,a long awaited snowfall in Beijing easily creates a fanfare(轰动) online.One needn’t go outside to feel people’s excitement at a blanket of snow,as a glimpse of the photos and videos uploaded on social media will be enough.
Seventy years ago,however,while snow was common in Beijing,cameras were seldom to be seen;few were able to record the scenery of this historical city.One of the few was Song Buyun,the late oil painter and water-colorist who walked the streets and recorded the beauty of Beijing’s centuries-old architecture.
Cultural landmarks frozen in time are displayed in Song’s Beijing landscape series,picturing the peaceful atmosphere of the city’s historical spots over the course of a year,such as Tiantan.He documented people visiting the Palace Museum,swimming in lakes and clearing snow off the streets.
Dying in 1992,Song didn’t have a chance to show this body of work during his lifetime.It was eight years later that these paintings were made public for the first time at an exhibition held in his memory.
“Song’s paintings show the harmony(和谐) between architecture and its surroundings,” says Fan Di’an,dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. “The colors are vivid and arranged tastefully to give a refreshing look to these old bining skills of Chinese and Western art,his works preserve(保存) the varied landscape of a city,and under his brushwork,Song injected rich emotions,allowing his work to stand the test of time.”
5.What can we know about Song’s works in the exhibition
A.They were made with the help of cameras.
B.They focus on Beijing’s cultural landmarks.
C.They show people’s hard life in Beijing decades ago.
D.They have drawn wide attention and good comments online.
6.When did the public first see the body of Song’s Beijing landscape series
A.In 1951. B.In 1992.
C.In 2000. D.In 2020.
7.What makes Song’s works last long
A.The colors Song used were very special.
B.Some architecture and surroundings don’t exist.
C.They are the only way to record the historic scenery.
D.Song’s skills and emotion make the works valuable.
8.What’s the best title of this text
A.Frozen in time:an old Beijing in Song Buyun’s exhibition
B.Song Buyun:a great colour master who painted architecture
C.A symphony of colors:an exhibition giving you a feast of eyes

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了意大利伟大的画家Giotto di Bondone,他给绘画带来的思想彻底改变了艺术界,使他成为有史以来最伟大的画家之一。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away,and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.”可知,Cimabue上当了,以为苍蝇是真的。
2.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In addition to painting,Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans.”可知,除了绘画,他还涉足其他领域。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However,Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way.”及“he painted people the way he saw them,instead of the overly tall and beautiful people that other artists painted”可知,Giotto的画因逼真的特点而与众不同。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Innovation was not stressed,so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.”可知,当时的艺术因没有创新而止步不前,结合第四段中“Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then”及最后一段中“The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.”可知,文章的主旨是Giotto给艺术界带来的创新。

7.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Combining skills of Chinese and Western art,...Song injected rich emotions,allowing his work to stand the test of time.”可知,宋的作品能历经时间考验是因为他作品中的艺术技巧和注入的情感。
8.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了已逝画家宋步云的作品正在中央美术学院博物馆里展出,对他的记录老北京历史景观的作品做了简单介绍,尤其是他的中西方结合的绘画技巧与他融入画中的情感,使他的作品能历经时间的考验,因此,A项“Frozen in time:an old Beijing in Song Buyun’s exhibition”为本文的最佳标题。

6.takes 考查时态。分析句子可知,此空应填谓语动词且应用主动形式,再根据Usually和主语it为第三人称单数可知,此空应用一般现在时,故填takes。
7.To spread 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此空应填非谓语动词,再根据句意可知,应填动词不定式作目的状语。故填To spread。
8.social 考查形容词。分析句子可知,此空修饰后面名词短语 media platforms,应用形容词,故填social。
9.were created 考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子可知,此空应为定语从句的谓语,先行词poems,calligraphy and paintings 和create为被动关系,且由back then可知时态应用一般过去时。故填were created。
10.used 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此空应填非谓语动词,the tools和use是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填used。

Dear Tom,
How are you I’m happy to know you are in charge of a teenage art exhibition next month.As you know,I’m good at Chinese painting and have won prizes in China.Recently I have completed a new painting which is about an old man fishing on the river.When you observe the painting,you will be amazed at the beauty of Mother Nature and realize the importance of having a peaceful mind.I wonder if my painting could be displayed along with other works then.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

From woodworker to great artist—this was the course of Qi Baishi’s life.He achieved success by coupling talent with hard work.In 1953,he was honoured with the title “People’s Artist” by the Chinese government.
For most of the general public,his masterpieces are his paintings of shrimps.At the beginning,he painted these small animals by following ancient models.Later,he developed a personal style by using shades of black ink to show a shrimp’s body,giving it an almost real-life feel.Besides,his paintings of flowers and vegetables,indicating rich harvests (丰收),are famous as well.People love these nature-based paintings because the works remind them of the countryside and of their hometowns.The dove is another common image in Qi’s art during his later years,showing his wish for world peace.

Pablo Picasso was an artist who worked in early part of the 20th century.Recently it was discovered that underneath his masterpiece,The Blue Room,there is another painting.
Four major art collecting institutions worked together for five years to prove the existence of the second painting,which they had long suspected.The first clue that there were two paintings on the same canvas,was the unusual brush strokes on The Blue Room.The brush strokes didn’t quite match the painting on The Blue Room.
