内化读文技法
把握行文方式，定位主题句
本文是一篇说明文。说明文的行文方式一般有：总分式、递进式、并列式以及对照式等。其中，对照式的结构有利于辩证地说明问题。如本文便运用对照式结构探讨了艺术和科技之间的关系，既介绍了艺术与现代科技相结合带来的正面影响，也说明了其存在的问题，有利于读者深层次理解“艺术流”作品和“技术流”作品各自的价值。
说明文的结构比较清晰，段落主题句一般在段首或段尾，读文时可从这些地方入手，定位主题句，归纳文章主旨。如本文第二、三段的尾句以及第四至八段的首句皆是主题句，通过这些主题句可推知文章是围绕艺术与科技之间的关系展开说明的。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”．
赏析：本句中label为词性活用。label常用作名词，意为“标签；签条”；此处用作动词，表示“把……称为……”，增加了表达的生动性。
2．With new technological tools at our fingertips，more and more people are exploring their creative sides.
赏析：本句中使用了more and more ...来说明随着科技发展，越来越多的人开始投入到创新领域，越来越多的新型艺术形式应运而生。
3．But one thing is for sure — with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
赏析：本句中，definitely expect the unexpected“一定可以期待意外的惊喜”委婉含蓄地表达了作者对艺术与科技的结合的赞同，以及对科技将会推动艺术发展的信心。这种方式比直白地表达自己的支持或反对更意味深长、更容易让读者产生共情。
①______________________ came to the town during this festival to perform.越来越多的艺术家在这个节日期间来到城里表演。
②John is the one who can create miracles, so with him, you could __________________________.
约翰是那种能够创造奇迹的人，所以在他身上，你随时都可以期待意外的惊喜。
(二)赏句式之高
1．Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years.
赏析：本句中使用了whatever引导的让步状语从句的省略式，既起到了承接上文，引领下文的作用，同时彰显了作者对高级句式的运用自如，提升了文章的档次。
2．Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation.
赏析：本句中使用了not only ...but also构成的部分倒装结构，属于写作中常用的高级表达。not only ...but also常用于连接两个表示并列关系的成分，并着重强调后者。为了加强语气，通常会把not only置于句首，采用部分倒装结构。
①What's the first thing you notice about a film The acting The music Maybe the amazing sets ____________________________， there's always a lot more to it than first meets the eye.
对于一部电影你首先会注意什么？表演？配乐？也许是令人惊叹的布景？无论你的答案是什么，事情总比你们认为的要复杂得多。
②________________________________ build up our body, but also it provides time for us to refresh our mind.(倒装)
锻炼不仅能强身健体，而且还能让我们有时间来恢复精力。
(三)赏修辞之功
1．Or maybe, just maybe, it's a dancing pattern of lights
赏析：本句使用了重复修辞，单词maybe的重复使用增加了语言的节奏感，同时起到了强调的作用。
2．The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night.
赏析：本句中将艺术家珍妮特·艾克曼创作的一系列艺术品比作七彩浮云，形象地描绘了该艺术品的外观特色。
①Today is ____________________， the start of a three year journey and the start of a promising future.(排比修辞)
今天，是新学期的开始，是一段三年旅程的开端，更是一个锦绣前程的起点。
②At the most basic level, different types of jobs are __________________.(比喻修辞)
在最基本的层面上，不同类型的工作就像机器上的齿轮。
(四)赏衔接之顺
1．Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”．
赏析：本句中使用了yet表示转折，相当于but，可位于句首或句中。它也可以与并列连词and或but连用，构成and yet和but yet，意为“虽然如此”，与单独使用的yet意思相同。
2．Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art
赏析：本句中运用了转折连词but引出问题“这些真的可以算是艺术吗？”自然顺畅地导入了文章主题。
①I've been away only for three years, __________________________________________.(yet)
我仅离开三年，可我几乎认不出我的故乡了。
②I enjoyed most of the classes, ________________________________________________. (but)
大部分课程我都喜欢，但是也有一些非常有挑战性。
(五)赏描摹之韵
1．(经典开头)Think “art”. What comes to your mind Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum Or maybe, just maybe, it's a dancing pattern of lights
赏析：本段为文章首段，段中连用了三个问句，层层发问，引人深思，在突出文章主题的同时又能激发读者的阅读兴趣。
2．(写作手法)Take for example one of China's most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
赏析：本句中，作者使用了举例子的写作手法，以Take for example引出具体事例，更准确、详实地阐明了自己的观点，增强了文章的说服力。表示举例的词汇还有：for example, for instance, such as, take ...for example等。
[仿写训练|补全语段]
①When talking with others, you need to know with whom you are communicating. ________________________________________________________________________________________ What expectations and cultural background do they have
当和别人交流时，你需要了解你的交流对象。他们的年龄或职业是什么？他们和你是什么关系？他们有什么期望和文化背景？
②The little things you do can make a difference! ____________________________________________________________， which contributes to a cleaner environment.
你所做的小事也能带来不同！例如捡拾你居住的街区周围的垃圾，这有助于清洁环境。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In the 17th-century Europe, it was unheard of for a woman to travel by herself, but that didn't stop Maria Sibylla Merian.In 1699, she and her 21-year-old daughter Dorothea sailed from Amsterdam to Surinam in South America.The three-month voyage was dangerous but she was determined to go.She would be the first person to go to a foreign country to study and paint insects directly from nature.
When they arrived in Surinam, Merian and Dorothea started working.Day after day, they took their painting materials into the hot rainforest to collect and draw insects and plants.Artists had never done such a thing before.Still life painters drew from dead specimens (标本)．But Merian had always been interested in painting living animals and plants, and her favourite subjects were insects.
In the rainforest, she climbed ladders to study and collect insects.She had trees cut down so she could see what lived at the top level of the forest more than a hundred feet overhead.Merian combined both art and science in her work.A skilled observer, she kept detailed notes.
Merian planned to stay in Surinam for five years, painting and collecting insects and plants that Europeans had never seen.She learnt about the medicinal plants of the area and expanded her interest to spiders, birds and snakes.She planned to publish a book of her new work on her return to Amsterdam.
After two years, she had to leave Surinam.It was extremely hot, and unluckily she was ill with malaria (疟疾)．But she had more than enough material for a book.In June 1701, Maria and Dorothea sailed back to Amsterdam with many paintings and specimens — butterflies kept in brandy, bottles with snakes, and boxes of pressed insects.
Four years later, in 1705, Merian published the book for which she is best known, Metamorphosis of the Insects of Surinam.The paintings of insects and plants in their natural habitats advanced the scientific study of insects.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女艺术家Maria Sibylla Merian为了研究和画活昆虫，和女儿航行三个月到达南美洲，最后成为此领域先驱的故事。

2．What can we know about Merian according to the text
A．She stayed in Surinam for 5 years as planned.
B．Her works were a mixture of art and science.

√
3．Which of the following best describes Merian as a painter
A．Outgoing. B．Traditional.
C．Warm-hearted. D．Pioneering.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“She would be the first person to go to a foreign country to study and paint insects directly from nature.”和第二段中的“Artists had never done such a thing before.”可知，Merian是一名具有开创精神的画家。
√
4．What does the text mainly talk about

Ancient Chinese paintings are always in a vivid state for the world to appreciate, interpret and pass on. Each signature has the echo of history and the breathing of time.
When a scroll (卷轴) is opened, the art of painting is transformed into a living story, and the hidden history wakes up from the painting. The Night Revels of Han Xizai is described as the earliest human “movie” with the last emperor of Southern Tang as the “producer”，
the painter Gu Hongzhong as the “cameraman”， and Han Xizai as the “leading actor”. It is said that Han Xizai understood the suspicion of the emperor and the intention of the painter's visit, so he staged a banquet (宴会) with songs, dances and drinks to protect himself. Future generations would be able to feel the undeclared battles and historical suspicions between the ruler and ministers of that era through this painting.
Then there is Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy, which gives you the opportunity to step into Zhenguan Period and watch the scene of Li Shimin, Emperor Tang Taizong, receiving Lu Dongzan in the palace.
The paintings are used as brushes to record history and have been passed down for thousands of years. They are ancient paintings, as well as historical documents that can be read at any time. Each one of them is a parallel universe, allowing us to have a glimpse of those historical ups and downs.
People of later generations want to use advanced technology and innovative ideas to make history and its stories come alive. Thus, at the 2022 Spring Festival gala, Only This Green, based on the painting A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, became a hit. We realize that pictures can not only be vivid on paper, but also alive in 3D.
Ancient paintings have been appreciated for over a thousand years, and the beauty of China is more than landscapes. You can enjoy China in ancient paintings with a magnifying (放大) glass. Let's enjoy the whispering of ancient paintings and the sweetness of traditional culture in ancient scrolls.
语篇解读：本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国古画所蕴含的历史及文化价值。
5．Why is The Night Revels of Han Xizai mentioned
A．To demonstrate a painting involves a true story.
B．To tell us the painting is the earliest movie in history.
C．To reveal the reason why Han Xizai held a banquet.
D．To show the relationship between rulers and ministers.
√
解析：推理判断题。第二段首句为该段的主题句，介绍了绘画艺术源于生活，进而作者引用了《韩熙载夜宴图》这幅绘画进行举例说明。由此可见，作者提及这幅画是为了进一步印证主题句。
6．What does Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy describe
A．A palace party.
B．A festival celebration.
C．A political event.
D．A scene in daily life.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知， 《步辇图》描绘了唐太宗李世民(Emperor Taizong)接见吐蕃使臣禄东赞(the Tibetan Envoy)的情景。由此可知，画中描述的为政治事件。
7．Why did Only This Green become a big hit
A．It was based on an ancient Chinese painting.
B．It was a combination of technology and trend.
C．It was shown at the 2022 Spring Festival gala.
D．It made what is in the painting come to life.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句以及最后一句可知，后人希望用先进的技术和创新的理念，让历史和故事活起来。因此，在“2022年春节联欢晚会”上， 通过3D技术，使得根据《千里江山图》改编的《只此青绿》成为轰动一时的当红作品。所以，该作品引起轰动是因为它让图画里的内容鲜活起来。
8．What does the underlined sentence mean
A．A practical tool is a must when appreciating ancient paintings.
B．Ancient paintings are not well preserved due to too long a time.
C．The landscapes in ancient paintings prove to be from China.
D．A lot about Chinese culture can be learnt from ancient paintings.
√
解析：句意理解题。根据画线句子前一句可知，古画中的美不仅仅是风景，言外之意，还有关于中国的其他方方面面；再根据画线句子后一句可知，古画反映出传统文化的美妙。由以上可知，该句话的意思是：在古画中可以了解很多中国文化。

Ancient Chinese paintings are always in a vivid state for the world to appreciate, interpret and pass on. Each signature has the echo of history and the breathing of time.
When a scroll (卷轴) is opened, the art of painting is transformed into a living story, and the hidden history wakes up from the painting. The Night Revels of Han Xizai is described as the earliest human “movie” with the last emperor of Southern Tang as the “producer”， the painter Gu Hongzhong as the “cameraman”， and Han Xizai as the “leading actor”. It is said that Han Xizai understood the suspicion of the emperor and the intention of the painter's visit, so he staged a banquet (宴会) with songs, dances and drinks to protect himself. Future generations would be able to feel the undeclared battles and historical suspicions between the ruler and ministers of that era through this painting.
Then there is Emperor Taizong Receiving the Tibetan Envoy, which gives you the opportunity to step into Zhenguan Period and watch the scene of Li Shimin, Emperor Tang Taizong, receiving Lu Dongzan in the palace.
The paintings are used as brushes to record history and have been passed down for thousands of years. They are ancient paintings, as well as historical documents that can be read at any time. Each one of them is a parallel universe, allowing us to have a glimpse of those historical ups and downs.
People of later generations want to use advanced technology and innovative ideas to make history and its stories come alive. Thus, at the 2022 Spring Festival gala, Only This Green, based on the painting A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, became a hit. We realize that pictures can not only be vivid on paper, but also alive in 3D.
Ancient paintings have been appreciated for over a thousand years, and the beauty of China is more than landscapes. You can enjoy China in ancient paintings with a magnifying (放大) glass. Let's enjoy the whispering of ancient paintings and the sweetness of traditional culture in ancient scrolls.
