UNIT 4 Amazing art
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2025·临汾一模）Cimabue， the greatest painter in medieval Italy， was surprised when he discovered that a fly had landed on one of his works.“Shoo！” he shouted， but it remained still.Finally， he reached out to touch the insect.To his surprise， he found only wet paint.Actually 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 in a poor farming family.Legend has it that while he was tending goats he drew a picture on a rock and that the artist Cimabue， who happened to be passing by， saw him at work and was so impressed with the boy’s talent that he took him into his studio as an apprentice （学徒）.
In the Middle Ages， an apprentice’s job was to copy his master as exactly as he could， which resulted in a distinct lack of new ideas.In fact， art in the Middle Ages seemed to have been stuck in a rut.The people in paintings didn’t look like real people， and the symbolism of art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to connect with it on a personal level.But Giotto thought art could be something more.
To accomplish this goal， Giotto adopted many techniques that were uncommon at the time.He painted people the way he saw them， instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted.He created three-dimensional space by using perspective， something that had not been done since Roman times.Finally， he threw out parts of the symbolism associated with medieval painting.For example， at that time the Christ Child was usually drawn as a mature man who was only a baby in size.This symbolized that Christ was wise even though he was young.Instead， Giotto painted the Christ Child as a baby，which emphasized the human relationship between the child and his mother.
The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.
1.Why does the author mention the fly event in Paragraph 1？（ ）
A.To prove the pupil outdoes the master. B.To stress the fly was vividly painted.
C.To relate how Cimabue was tricked. D.To demonstrate art has no limits.
2.Why did Cimabue decide to instruct Giotto？（ ）
A.Giotto would be a helpful assistant. B.Cimabue desired to rid Giotto of poverty.
C.Giotto badly needed Cimabue’s guidance. D.Cimabue sensed a great potential in Giotto.
3.What can we learn about art in the Middle Ages in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.It lacked innovation. B.It highlighted realism.
C.It bonded well with viewers. D.It underwent great changes.
4.Why did Giotto paint the Christ Child as a baby？（ ）
A.To portray people in a realistic way. B.To try the technique of perspective.
C.To distinguish himself from other painters. D.To bring a sense of symbolism to his painting.

（2025·漳州三模）Learning anything can be challenging， especially when it comes to figuring out how and what to practice.Repetition is usually essential.But you don’t want something that takes the joy out of you.I’ve been teaching myself to draw for a few years.I had improved a lot but for a long while was going nowhere.I’d tried lots of books and courses， and filled endless pages with boxes， parallel lines and figures.None of these seems to be working.
But something clicked when I started sketchbooking this year.The sketchbooks led to a shift in mindset.Rather than trying to practise， I was engaging in a practice — scribbling （涂鸦）.The scribbles weren’t all good but they have become part of a whole.I’ve been absorbed ever since.I scribbled my breakfast， the fruit in the office， and other people on the train.
I spoke to Danny Gregory， a writer who blogs and makes videos about sketchbooking， to try to figure out why I had become so taken by my new practice.
“We think the practice in drawing is like that in piano， where you have to play through a series of musical notes step by step，” Gregory says.“But what if you think about practice in other terms — like a yoga practice or medical practice？ With those kinds of practices， you’ve learned some stuff， right？ Progress happens naturally.It’s not preparatory.So just follow the process and take pleasure in it.This is what matters.”
I have now filled two sketchbooks just with portraits — more than 100 scribbled over a couple of months.In them I challenged myself to include people on every page.Used to drawing ghost-town versions， the first few pages were a struggle.But I started varying my morning coffee routine to find new places where I could observe life.
My latest sketchbook will tackle the challenge of all my drawings — hands.I’ve always had problems drawing hands.It’s early days， but I’m not fearing it as I would have before because it isn’t just practice any more.
5.What was the challenge the author faced when learning to draw？（ ）
A.Lack of interest in traditional practice methods. B.Little progress despite extensive efforts.
C.Difficulty in obtaining necessary resources. D.Inability to master specific drawing techniques.
6.What did the author benefit from scribbling？（ ）
A.Improving hand control. B.Enriching creative expression.
C.Grasping ways to paint details. D.Accepting imperfections in art.
7.According to Gregory， which attitude toward practice should be emphasized？（ ）
A.Focus on specifics is essential. B.Repetition is a fundamental key.
C.The emphasis lies in enjoying the process. D.The highlight is in well-organized exercises.
8.What message does the story convey？（ ）
A.Every beginning is difficult. B.Tailored methods drive progress.
C.Art is the language of the soul. D.Integrating life enhances learning.

用一根木棒在土地上画画，正好被那个诗人（王维）看到。
The other day， I came across a young man in my neighbourhood，
who was sitting on a stair.I greeted him with a big smile.It seemed that
he drank a lot of wine.He responded to me with a smile，with a cigarette
in his hand.But getting closer， I noticed his tears were held back.Seeing
that， though it was not elegant， I sat down next to him， listening to
his story.
The man took out a folded letter， saying his girlfriend would break
up with him because his exhibition failed，which made him a poor
man.He vividly described to me how he was fond of painting， especially
drawing all kinds of vases.With all his money and a friend sponsoring
him， he held an exhibition.However， for lack of experience， he
failed.I encouraged him not to give up.I was sure that his hard work
would pay off sooner or later.

（2025·临汾一模）Cimabue， the greatest painter in medieval
Italy， was surprised when he discovered that a fly had landed on one of
his works.“Shoo！” he shouted， but it remained still.Finally， he
reached out to touch the insect.To his surprise， he found only wet
paint.Actually 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 in a poor farming family.Legend has it
that while he was tending goats he drew a picture on a rock and that the
artist Cimabue， who happened to be passing by， saw him at work and
was so impressed with the boy’s talent that he took him into his studio as
an apprentice （学徒）.
In the Middle Ages， an apprentice’s job was to copy his master as
exactly as he could， which resulted in a distinct lack of new ideas.In
fact， art in the Middle Ages seemed to have been stuck in a rut.The
people in paintings didn’t look like real people， and the symbolism of
art was often so remote that it must have been difficult for viewers to
connect with it on a personal level.But Giotto thought art could be
something more.
To accomplish this goal， Giotto adopted many techniques that were
uncommon at the time.He painted people the way he saw them， instead
of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted.He created
three-dimensional space by using perspective， something that had not
been done since Roman times.Finally， he threw out parts of the
symbolism associated with medieval painting.For example， at that time
the Christ Child was usually drawn as a mature man who was only a baby
in size.This symbolized that Christ was wise even though he was
young.Instead， Giotto painted the Christ Child as a baby，which
emphasized the human relationship between the child and his mother.
The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized
the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.

（2025·漳州三模）Learning anything can be challenging，
especially when it comes to figuring out how and what to
practice.Repetition is usually essential.But you don’t want something
that takes the joy out of you.I’ve been teaching myself to draw for a few
years.I had improved a lot but for a long while was going nowhere.I’d
tried lots of books and courses， and filled endless pages with boxes，
parallel lines and figures.None of these seems to be working.
But something clicked when I started sketchbooking this year.The
sketchbooks led to a shift in mindset.Rather than trying to practise， I was
engaging in a practice — scribbling （涂鸦）.The scribbles weren’t all
good but they have become part of a whole.I’ve been absorbed ever
since.I scribbled my breakfast， the fruit in the office， and other people
on the train.
I spoke to Danny Gregory， a writer who blogs and makes videos
about sketchbooking， to try to figure out why I had become so taken by
my new practice.
“We think the practice in drawing is like that in piano， where you
have to play through a series of musical notes step by step，” Gregory
says.“But what if you think about practice in other terms — like a yoga
practice or medical practice？ With those kinds of practices， you’ve
learned some stuff， right？ Progress happens naturally.It’s not
preparatory.So just follow the process and take pleasure in it.This is what
matters.”
I have now filled two sketchbooks just with portraits — more than
100 scribbled over a couple of months.In them I challenged myself to
include people on every page.Used to drawing ghost-town versions， the
first few pages were a struggle.But I started varying my morning coffee
routine to find new places where I could observe life.
My latest sketchbook will tackle the challenge of all my drawings —
hands.I’ve always had problems drawing hands.It’s early days， but
I’m not fearing it as I would have before because it isn’t just practice
any more.

（ ）
A. Lack of interest in traditional practice methods.
B. Little progress despite extensive efforts.

了巨大努力，但进展甚微。
6. What did the author benefit from scribbling？（ ）
A. Improving hand control.
B. Enriching creative expression.
C. Grasping ways to paint details.
D. Accepting imperfections in art.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的The scribbles weren’t all
good but they have become part of a whole.可知，虽然这些涂鸦并不都
是好的，但作者接受它们成为整体的一部分。由此可推知，作者从涂
鸦中获得的益处是接受了艺术的不完美。
√
7. According to Gregory， which attitude toward practice should be
emphasized？（ ）
A. Focus on specifics is essential.
B. Repetition is a fundamental key.
C. The emphasis lies in enjoying the process.
D. The highlight is in well-organized exercises.

时，有一段时间进步缓慢，后来通过涂鸦的方式将绘画与生活结合，
取得了一定进步，在作者看来，这种方式有助于提升学习效果。由此
可推知，这个故事传达了“融入生活，促进学习”的思想。
