来自卢浮宫的直播
Hi, it's Zack! Greetings from Paris, everyone! This broadcast is being brought1 to you from one of the largest museums on Earth—the Louvre! Today we're going to find out about some of the Louvre's most amazing treasures. Here we go! 1现在进行时的被动语态，表示说话时动作正在被进行
嗨，我是扎克！我在巴黎向你们问好！本次直播地点是地球上最大的博物馆之一——卢浮宫！今天我们将一起探索卢浮宫里的奇珍异宝。让我们开始吧！
Now, at the top of these stone stairs ... get a load of that! That huge sculpture you can see2 is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace! I can't even begin to tell you how3 amazing this is! It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky4 and5 is standing on a ship. Her head and arms are missing, but6 you can imagine her holding her arms up high, celebrating the result of an ancient battle7. And just look at how8 her dress is being folded by the wind! I really can't believe she's made of stone9. The skill of the sculptor is just incredible. 2定语从句，修饰先行词That__huge__sculpture 3引导宾语从句 4现在完成时 5连接两个谓语动词has__flown__down和is__standing 6连接两个并列分句，表示转折关系 7现在分词短语作伴随状语 8引导宾语从句 9宾语从句，省略了连接词that
现在，我们到了这段石头阶梯的顶端……台阶实在是太多了！你们看到的这尊巨大的雕像就是《萨莫色雷斯的胜利女神》，又名《萨莫色雷斯的奈基》！我都不知道该如何向你们形容这个雕塑有多惊人！她看起来好像刚刚从高空飞落，正站立在船上。虽然头部和手臂已经遗失了，但你们仍然可以想象她正高举双臂，庆祝一场古老战役的胜利。看她裙子上被风吹出的皱褶！我简直不敢相信她是石头做的。雕刻家的技艺真令人难以置信。
Okay, I'd better move on. You can see there are so many people here. I'm being pushed around quite a bit, in fact. And you're really going to love what10's coming up next. It's the one and only Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than11 you would expect, and is protected by glass. But from here I can get a good view to show you12. When13 I look into her eyes it seems she has a mind of her own! One moment she seems to be laughing at me, but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile. I guess that's why14 she attracts so many visitors every day. 10引导宾语从句 11引导比较状语从句 12不定式短语作后置定语，修饰view 13引导时间状语从句 14引导表语从句
好了，我得往前走了。你们能看见，这儿有好多人。实际上，我一直在被挤来挤去。你们肯定会喜欢接下来这件展品。那就是独一无二的《蒙娜丽莎》！这幅画比你们想象的要小很多，而且被玻璃罩着。不过我在这里可以拍得很清楚来给你们看。当我与她对视的时候，我觉得她好像有自己的思想！上一刻她仿佛还在取笑我，而下一刻我却能从她的微笑中捕捉到一丝悲伤。我想这就是为什么她能每天吸引那么多的游客前来吧。
And now, it15's time to get up close and personal with one of history's greatest artists—Rembrandt! He painted this self portrait about 400 years ago. Throughout his life, he made over 90 self portraits! No one really knows why. Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th century selfie16 Or was it17 simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model 现在，是时候近距离亲身了解历史上最伟大的画家之一——伦勃朗啦！他在大约400年前画了这幅自画像。终其一生，他一共画了90多幅自画像！没有人知道为什么。也许这是他在17世纪“自拍”的方式？又或许只是因为画自己比花钱请模特儿更实惠？ About 35，000 works are currently being displayed18 in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and19 it would take a lifetime to see everything! I'll say bye for now, and hope you can all visit this fantastic place one day to feel the power20 of these great works of art for yourselves. They really do reach out to us across the centuries as if21 time itself were nothing. By the way, if22 you have enjoyed this live broadcast, subscribe to find out where23 I'm visiting next! 15 it作形式主语，真正的主语是to__get__up__close__...__Rembrandt 16介词短语作way 的后置定语 17 it作形式主语，真正的主语是to__paint__himself__than__to__pay__for__a__model 18现在进行时的被动语态 19连接两个并列分句 20不定式短语作目的状语 21引导方式状语从句，从句中用虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反 22引导条件状语从句 23引导宾语从句
卢浮宫共有300多个房间，目前正在展出的艺术品大约是35，000件，而要看完所有的展品大概需要一辈子！今天我们就先到这里，希望有一天你们都能来参观这个美妙之地，亲身感受这些伟大艺术作品的魅力。这些作品穿越几个世纪，出现在我们面前，仿佛时间没有流逝一般。哦对了，如果你们喜欢这场直播，请点击“订阅”，关注我下一站的目的地吧！

Ⅰ 阅读
I teach English in developing countries. One day, while I was traveling alone, I saw a teenager selling paintings on the street. He called out to me, saying that he made all the pictures himself, and he was saving up money for school. In a different city, I might have bought one, but I figured that he could be some sort of scam artist, so I thanked him and kept walking. As I left, he asked if I had just a bit of change to spare. I did, but I told him no.
After a few hours of shopping and roaming, I found myself back on the same street. Everyone was shouting and everyone looked really excited, and it seemed they were celebrating a special festival. I tried to leave down a side alley, but it was full of people shoving each other. A group of at least six policemen was walking right toward the crowd. They were clearly trying to keep the order, and I had walked right into the middle of it.
Suddenly, I heard a voice yell at me from a half opened door. “Hey！” I didn't know who it was, but I knew right away that this was someone trying to help me. I rushed toward the door and saw the face of that teenaged artist. He opened the door enough for me to enter, and I did. He said he'd recognized me from before. I asked him why he wanted to help me, and he just shrugged.
As we waited for the noises outside to die down, he gave me a tour of the place. It was truly beautiful. He didn't try to sell me anything or demand any sort of payment for his help. When finally it was a good time to leave, I asked if I could buy one of his multicolored landscapes, and it was a way to have something to remember him by. I still have that landscape up on my wall. When I look at it, I think about the warm hearted young artist.

Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. This is exactly the case for Holly Smith, when she lost her job two years ago.
At the beginning of 2020, Holly was working as a general manager for a small independent bakery business in Surrey. She had been there for six years and couldn't believe it when they told her she was fired, which came as a huge shock for her. She panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time.
Holly didn't know where to turn at first, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a picture of her parent's dog—Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off.
Holly named her business Holly & Murphy, after her special five year old cocker spaniel (可卡犬), Murphy. She is often inspired when she's floating on water, together with her furry companion in her boat. She combines watercolour paints and pencils to bring dogs' faces to life. A small painting usually takes two to three days to complete. Customers love how she captures their pet's personality in great detail. Some of the most memorable paintings she has been asked to do are of dogs that have passed away. Her dog portraits start at ￡295 and can cost up to ￡595.
“When it first happened, it felt like the end of the world，” Holly, a current full time painter and business owner, told The Mirror, “but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I'm so grateful to have a job that I love.”

Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect cross over between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.

现在，我们到了这段石头阶梯的顶端……台阶实在是太多了！你们看到的这尊巨大的雕像就是《萨莫色雷斯的胜利女神》，又名《萨莫色雷斯的奈基》！我都不知道该如何向你们形容这个雕塑有多惊人！她看起来好像刚刚从高空飞落，正站立在船上。虽然头部和手臂已经遗失了，但你们仍然可以想象她正高举双臂，庆祝一场古老战役的胜利。看她裙子上被风吹出的皱褶！我简直不敢相信她是石头做的。雕刻家的技艺真令人难以置信。
Okay, I'd better move on. You can see there are so many people here. I'm being pushed around quite a bit, in fact. And you're really going to love what10's coming up next. It's the one and only Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than11 you would expect, and is protected by glass. But from here I can get a good view to show you12. When13 I look into her eyes it seems she has a mind of her own! One moment she seems to be laughing at me, but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile.

And now, it15's time to get up close and personal with one of history's greatest artists—Rembrandt! He painted this self portrait about 400 years ago. Throughout his life, he made over 90 self portraits! No one really knows why. Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th century selfie16 Or was it17 simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model

现在，是时候近距离亲身了解历史上最伟大的画家之一——伦勃朗啦！他在大约400年前画了这幅自画像。终其一生，他一共画了90多幅自画像！没有人知道为什么。也许这是他在17世纪“自拍”的方式？又或许只是因为画自己比花钱请模特儿更实惠？
About 35，000 works are currently being displayed18 in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and19 it would take a lifetime to see everything!

难度 ★ ★ ★★
Ⅰ 阅读
I teach English in developing countries. One day, while I was traveling alone, I saw a teenager selling paintings on the street. He called out to me, saying that he made all the pictures himself, and he was saving up money for school. In a different city, I might have bought one, but I figured that he could be some sort of scam artist, so I thanked him and kept walking. As I left, he asked if I had just a bit of change to spare. I did, but I told him no.
After a few hours of shopping and roaming, I found myself back on the same street. Everyone was shouting and everyone looked really excited, and it seemed they were celebrating a special festival. I tried to leave down a side alley, but it was full of people shoving each other. A group of at least six policemen was walking right toward the crowd. They were clearly trying to keep the order, and I had walked right into the middle of it.
Suddenly, I heard a voice yell at me from a half opened door. “Hey！” I didn't know who it was, but I knew right away that this was someone trying to help me. I rushed toward the door and saw the face of that teenaged artist. He opened the door enough for me to enter, and I did. He said he'd recognized me from before. I asked him why he wanted to help me, and he just shrugged.
As we waited for the noises outside to die down, he gave me a tour of the place. It was truly beautiful. He didn't try to sell me anything or demand any sort of payment for his help. When finally it was a good time to leave, I asked if I could buy one of his multicolored landscapes, and it was a way to have something to remember him by. I still have that landscape up on my wall. When I look at it, I think about the warm hearted young artist.

The alphabet, taught through a song, is one of the most important skills you learned as a child. To be sure, learning a language through songs is easier than trying to memorize a sentence in a completely different language.
Music also assists us in discovering our identities. __5__ As they grow older, they begin to have their own musical tastes. That is often their first act of defiance (挑战) against their parents. They figure out who they want to be, and music can play an important role in this process.

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者Amy (艾米)因担心伤害朋友Lucy (露西)的自尊心而称赞了Lucy的画作，这激发了Lucy的创作，并通过这一故事强调了温暖的鼓励比直接的诚实更为重要。

Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. This is exactly the case for Holly Smith, when she lost her job two years ago.
At the beginning of 2020, Holly was working as a general manager for a small independent bakery business in Surrey. She had been there for six years and couldn't believe it when they told her she was fired, which came as a huge shock for her. She panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time.
精深阅读
Holly didn't know where to turn at first, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a picture of her parent's dog—Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off.
Holly named her business Holly & Murphy, after her special five year old cocker spaniel (可卡犬), Murphy. She is often inspired when she's floating on water, together with her furry companion in her boat. She combines watercolour paints and pencils to bring dogs' faces to life. A small painting usually takes two to three days to complete. Customers love how she captures their pet's personality in great detail. Some of the most memorable paintings she has been asked to do are of dogs that have passed away. Her dog portraits start at ￡295 and can cost up to ￡595.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Holly Smith (霍利·史密斯)在失去工作后，通过自己的创造力和决心，将困难转化为机会，最终成功转行成为一名全职画家和企业主的故事。

Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be “the easy subject” at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort
精深阅读
Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life—the arts are a perfect cross over between culture and commerce.
Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.
The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure.
Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.
Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.
