内化读文技法
根据文章结构和时间线索理解事理特点
文章“A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING”是知识性小品文，属于说明文。文章是总分结构。首段引入话题，是总述。其余四个部分有四个小标题，是分述。这四个部分按照从古到今的时间发展顺序介绍了西方绘画发展的四个时期，及各个时期不同的绘画特点、具有代表性的艺术作品和画家。读者只要依据文章结构和时间线索，就能理解西方绘画史的整个过程和影响及其发展变化的重要因素。熟悉此类文章的结构，有助于理解文章的主要内容，快速获取文章的主题和意义。阅读时，我们可以先扫读文章小标题，然后再理清事理的特点和发展逻辑。比如，要了解西方文艺复兴时期的绘画，就可以直接定位在文章的“The Renaissance”这一部分。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．After that，paintings were no longer needed to preserve what people and the world looked like.
赏析：副词no longer作状语，修饰动词needed，意为“不再”，它强调被修饰的动作不再继续下去，揭示了事件发展中的明显转折。
2．Unlike the cold, black and white photographs of that time period, Renoir's paintings are full of light, shadow, colour, and life.
赏析：短语“are full of”十分形象地描述了雷诺阿的绘画特色，同时，也揭示了这一时期西方绘画的共同特点。
仿写训练/完成句子
①After that, she ________________________ but managed to adapt to the school life soon.
从那以后，她不再觉得这是一件令人头疼的事，很快就适应了学校生活。
②When his mother kissed him on the cheek, the baby ____________________.
当母亲亲吻婴儿的脸颊时，他满心欢喜。
(二)赏句式之高
1．As there have been so many different styles of Western art, it is impossible to describe them all in a short text.
赏析：本句运用了“it＋be＋adj.＋to do ...”句式，it是形式主语，动词不定式“to do ...”是真正的主语，形容词是用来描述动词不定式的性质特征。
2．He sought to show not just the outer image of his subjects, but their inner warmth and humanity as well.
赏析：句中“not just ...but ...”相当于“not only ...but (also) ...”，意为：不仅/不但……而且……。它侧重于强调but后面的内容。
①____________________________ a person who never gives up.
打败一个永不放弃的人是不可能的。
②This book is __________________________ that reflects social reality.
这本书不仅仅是一本小说，它也是一部反映社会现实的杰作。
(三)赏修辞之功
With their deep colours and realism, some of the best oil paintings look like photographs.
赏析：本句中黑体部分使用了明喻修辞，本体是“the best oil paintings”，喻体是“photographs”，look like是比喻词。该明喻准确地说明了文艺复兴时期画家高超的绘画技能。
①When he's feeling down, his face ________________ filled with dark clouds.
他心情低落时，脸色就像乌云密布的天空。
②Her smile ____________________ of spring, warm and brilliant.
她的笑容像春天的阳光，温暖且灿烂。
(四)赏逻辑之巧
After that, paintings were no longer needed to preserve what people and the world looked like. Hence, painters had to find a new way of looking at their art.
赏析：本句中运用了表示时间关系和因果关系的衔接词。前一句是原因，后一句是结果。这两句话的逻辑关系分明，体现了这一时期绘画艺术的发展变化。
After completing his studies, John secured a high paying job at a company. Hence, he was able to provide a stable income for his family.
西方绘画注重透视、色彩和光影效果，追求真实的视觉再现，技法上常采用油画、素描等，画面层次丰富，构图多变。而中国绘画则强调笔墨表现力，追求写意精神，通过墨色的浓淡干湿、笔触的轻重快慢表达意境，画面空灵，富有节奏感，构图多能展现平衡和谐之美。张择端的《清明上河图》可以带你一睹中国绘画的东方之美。
Qingming Scroll
Zhang Zeduan's Qingming Scroll is a masterwork of Chinese art. Painted on a five-metre-long silk scroll, it offers an important insight into life in China in the 12th century.It is commonly believed Dynasty. The ancient scroll is currently housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
The scroll consists of three main sections. The first section presents a peaceful scene of rural life near Bianjing, featuring crop fields, a river winding through the landscape, and farmers hard at work. The second section shows the riverbanks and the central bridge alive with activity as boats sail in and out of Bianjing.Civilians can also be seen walking through the city gate in both directions. The third and final section pictures life inside the city itself. Here, hundreds of people from all walks of life, including butchers, hairdressers and government officials, can be seen going about their daily business.The combination of these three sections gives the viewer an idea of what life was like for the people of Bianjing.
Zhang's amazing artistic techniques is apparent all across the scroll. Using ink on silk, he creates realistic images of scenery, buildings and people, and displays a remarkable mastery of perspective. The most impressive aspect of the painting, however, is probably Zhang's precise brushwork. an enormous amount of detail.
Thanks to all this fine detail, the Qingming Scroll provides a comprehensive look at life during the Northern Song Dynasty. It reveals a great deal about the 12th-century Chinese customs, clothing, transportation methods, and business practices. At first sight, the overall scene of life in the capital city appears peaceful and cheerful. However, some critics suggest that on closer inspection, the painting actually exposes serious political and social problems. food do not seem to belong to the government, which suggests that the government has lost control of food supplies and transportation. Also in the painting are soldiers who appear to ignore their duties. There are some less obvious indicators of trouble too. For example, in the centre of the scroll, a boat is in danger of crashing into the bridge. These sorts of details point to a crisis developing in the city. In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty was in decline by this stage. About twenty years after the painting was completed, it was overthrown.
Zhang's timeless scroll is an important example of realism in the history of Chinese paintings.Its value is down not only to its great scale, artistic quality and attention to detail, but also to its representation of daily life. talented artists of their day to make copies of the scroll. Some of these copies are now regarded as precious works of art in their own right. With the Qingming Scroll, Zhang made an outstanding contribution to Chinese art and greatly influenced generations of future artists.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Born in the Netherlands in 1853, Van Gogh led a simple life in a small town until the age of 16. He then left school and joined a firm of art dealers in the large city of The Hague. He eventually realised that dealing with others' artwork was not his profession. His true love was to become an artist himself.
No.4 课时跟踪检测
He devoted much of his time to learning the fundamentals of drawing. Van Gogh believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when he developed a style and talent for colour that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.
Van Gogh's paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. The colours jump off the canvas, not only because of their brightness but also because of the brush strokes (笔触). Van Gogh avoided light, feathery strokes, which would portray typical subjects. Instead, he used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh's use of colour and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls (打旋) across the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke creates the image of movement. The Starry Night shows Van Gogh's great ability to create a powerful image with simple subjects.
Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting. He is believed to have sold only one of the 900 paintings he created during those years. Yet today Van Gogh is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is evident; many painters mimic his style and use of colour. His artwork can be found in museums all over the world and is valued in millions of dollars, an evidence for Vincent Van Gogh's talent.

Christ Mocked, by the Florentine master Cimabue, was sold at auction (拍卖) for 24 million in 2019. But the Chilean buyers never got to include the work in their collection because the French government refused to give it an export licence.
Ministers declared the painting a national treasure, officially giving the Louvre 30 months to raise the funds for its purchase. The Louvre recently reached an agreement with the owners.
Laurence des Cars, the president of the Louvre, said it was a “great joy” to have acquired the painting, which “constitutes a crucial landmark in the history of art”. The museum did not say how much it had paid, nor who had sold the painting, which will be exhibited in 2025.
The painting was spotted four years ago by Philomene Wolf, an auctioneer, when she was asked to assess the contents of a house that was being cleared. The owner, in her nineties, thought it was a painting from Russia of no value and was preparing to put it in the dustbin.
Wolf was struck by its quality and guessed that it could be Italian. Experts using modern technology confirmed that it was by Cimabue, who is widely regarded as having opened the gateway to Renaissance art. It is believed to date from 1280. Christ Mocked is one of about 15 known Cimabue's works.
The Louvre launched an appeal on Tuesday for donations to buy another painting, The Basket of Wild Strawberries by Jean Simeon Chardin, the 18th-century French still life (静物画) master. The work, which was first exhibited in 1761, was in a private collection from the 19th century until last year, when it was sold for 24.3 million to an American art museum at an auction in Paris.
Luckily, many groups and individuals donated two-thirds of the sum. The museum must pay the remaining 8 million and is hoping that members of the public will help to ease the burden by responding to its appeal, which aims to raise 1.3 million.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了卢浮宫博物馆为防止国宝名画流失而筹集资金回购珍贵的绘画作品——Christ Mocked并成功将其留在法国。这幅画已被卢浮宫博物馆成功买下，并将于2025年展出。
5．What can we know about Christ Mocked
A．It is a painting from Russia.
B．It was discovered by Cimabue.
C．It is seen as a treasure of France.
D．It was taken away by Chilean buyers.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ministers declared ... purchase.”可知，这幅画被认定为法国国宝。故选C项。
√
6．Which can replace the underlined word “constitutes” in paragraph 3
A．Sums up. B．Acts as.
C．Finds out. D．Points out.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子“Laurence des ... history of art.”可知，这句是对这幅画的历史地位的描述；再根据句前内容可知，卢浮宫博物馆馆长认为获得这幅画是一件特别让人高兴的事，因此推断这幅画被认为是艺术史上一个至关重要的里程碑。constitute意为“被视为，充当”。故选 B项。
7．How did Wolf get Christ Mocked
A．She purchased it at auction.
B．Cimabue sent it to her.
C．She got it from an old woman.
D．She found it when she cleaned up.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，Wolf是在评估从一位老妇人房子里面清理出来的物品时发现了这幅画，因此她是从一位老妇人那里得到的。故选C项。
√
8．Which can be the best title for the text
A．The Painting Christ Mocked Was Sold
B．The Louvre Was Appealing for Donation
C．French Government Takes Back Its Words
D．Painting Saved From Bin Was to Hang in the Louvre
√
解析：标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其第一、二段可知，文章主要报道了卢浮宫筹钱买下Christ Mocked这幅珍贵的画作，成功将其留在法国；同时介绍了这幅画差点被扔到垃圾桶幸好被拍卖师发现的过程。因此推断D选项可以作为文章标题。

Drawing is a great way to express yourself and share your creativity with others. 9 That's because you need only simple supplies. Check out these tips to make your drawing skills better.
Gather supplies
One of the best parts about drawing is that you can get started right away with paper and pencils you already have. Drawing in a sketchbook (素描册) is also a great idea. 10 You can also experiment with other drawing materials, like colored pencils or markers.
Pick your subject
When thinking about what to draw, choose something you feel excited about. 11 Items around your home, like a bowl of fruit or a favorite toy, can also be great subjects. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, seek inspiration online and print out what you'd like to draw.
Draw often
12 If something does attract you, try to work on it as often as you can. Put a small sketchbook in your backpack, so you can draw when you have free time, like when you're waiting for an activity to start. You could even give yourself mini challenges. For example, you can draw the same object for a week and see how much you improve.
Seek out more resources
You can improve your drawing by practicing on your own, but you can also get better with help. Ask a librarian to help you search for step-by-step drawing books at your local or school library. Museums and art studios in your area may also offer drawing classes. 13
A．It is also an easy hobby to pursue.
B．It takes practice to get really good at drawing.
C．You won't draw perfectly unless you're patient enough.
D．Ask an art teacher at school to point you in the right direction.
E．It can help you easily look back at your work and see your progress.
F．When you start drawing, think of your subject in terms of simple shapes.
G．You could draw a beautiful tree or go to a local park and sketch the landscape.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了绘画是一种表达自我、与他人分享创意的好方式，并给出了一些提高绘画技巧的建议。
9．选A 由上文“Drawing is a great way ... with others.”和下文“That's because you need only simple supplies.”可知，本空要说跟“绘画简单”有关的话题，A 项能承上启下，符合语境。
10．选E 空前“One of the best parts ... a great idea.”讲到在素描册上绘画是个好主意，空后“You can ... or markers.”讲到你也可以尝试其他绘画材料。因此可判断空格处应与在素描册上绘画的好处有关，E项能承上启下，符合语境。

A
Born in the Netherlands in 1853, Van Gogh led a simple life in a small town until the age of 16. He then left school and joined a firm of art dealers in the large city of The Hague. He eventually realised that dealing with others' artwork was not his profession. His true love was to become an artist himself.
He devoted much of his time to learning the fundamentals of drawing. Van Gogh believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when he developed a style and talent for colour that made him one of the most respected artists of all time.
Van Gogh's paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. The colours jump off the canvas, not only because of their brightness but also because of the brush strokes (笔触). Van Gogh avoided light, feathery strokes, which would portray typical subjects. Instead, he used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three dimensional.
Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh's use of colour and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls (打旋) across the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brushstroke creates the image of movement. The Starry Night shows Van Gogh's great ability to create a powerful image with simple subjects.
Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting. He is believed to have sold only one of the 900 paintings he created during those years. Yet today Van Gogh is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is evident; many painters mimic his style and use of colour. His artwork can be found in museums all over the world and is valued in millions of dollars, an evidence for Vincent Van Gogh's talent.

Christ Mocked, by the Florentine master Cimabue, was sold at auction (拍卖) for 24 million in 2019. But the Chilean buyers never got to include the work in their collection because the French government refused to give it an export licence.
Ministers declared the painting a national treasure, officially giving the Louvre 30 months to raise the funds for its purchase. The Louvre recently reached an agreement with the owners.
Laurence des Cars, the president of the Louvre, said it was a “great joy” to have acquired the painting, which “constitutes a crucial landmark in the history of art”. The museum did not say how much it had paid, nor who had sold the painting, which will be exhibited in 2025.
The painting was spotted four years ago by Philomene Wolf, an auctioneer, when she was asked to assess the contents of a house that was being cleared. The owner, in her nineties, thought it was a painting from Russia of no value and was preparing to put it in the dustbin.
Wolf was struck by its quality and guessed that it could be Italian. Experts using modern technology confirmed that it was by Cimabue, who is widely regarded as having opened the gateway to Renaissance art. It is believed to date from 1280. Christ Mocked is one of about 15 known Cimabue's works.
The Louvre launched an appeal on Tuesday for donations to buy another painting, The Basket of Wild Strawberries by Jean Simeon Chardin, the 18th century French still life (静物画) master. The work, which was first exhibited in 1761, was in a private collection from the 19th century until last year, when it was sold for 24.3 million to an American art museum at an auction in Paris.
Luckily, many groups and individuals donated two thirds of the sum. The museum must pay the remaining 8 million and is hoping that members of the public will help to ease the burden by responding to its appeal, which aims to raise 1.3 million.
5．What can we know about Christ Mocked
A．It is a painting from Russia.
B．It was discovered by Cimabue.
C．It is seen as a treasure of France.
D．It was taken away by Chilean buyers.
6．Which can replace the underlined word “constitutes” in paragraph 3
A．Sums up. B．Acts as.
C．Finds out. D．Points out.
7．How did Wolf get Christ Mocked
A．She purchased it at auction.
B．Cimabue sent it to her.
C．She got it from an old woman.
D．She found it when she cleaned up.
8．Which can be the best title for the text
A．The Painting Christ Mocked Was Sold
B．The Louvre Was Appealing for Donation
C．French Government Takes Back Its Words
D．Painting Saved From Bin Was to Hang in the Louvre

Drawing is a great way to express yourself and share your creativity with others. __9__ That's because you need only simple supplies. Check out these tips to make your drawing skills better.
Gather supplies
One of the best parts about drawing is that you can get started right away with paper and pencils you already have. Drawing in a sketchbook (素描册) is also a great idea.__10__ You can also experiment with other drawing materials, like colored pencils or markers.
Pick your subject
When thinking about what to draw, choose something you feel excited about. __11__ Items around your home, like a bowl of fruit or a favorite toy, can also be great subjects. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for, seek inspiration online and print out what you'd like to draw.
Draw often
__12__ If something does attract you, try to work on it as often as you can. Put a small sketchbook in your backpack, so you can draw when you have free time, like when you're waiting for an activity to start. You could even give yourself mini challenges. For example, you can draw the same object for a week and see how much you improve.
Seek out more resources
You can improve your drawing by practicing on your own, but you can also get better with help. Ask a librarian to help you search for step by step drawing books at your local or school library. Museums and art studios in your area may also offer drawing classes.__13__
