Module 4 Fine Arts — Western,Chinese and Pop Arts
Pet portraits
Art teachers often give students projects based on the work of well-known artists from the past. For a recent class project at Lake Middle School in Uniontown, Ohio, teacher Heather Boxler had another idea. She chose the work of local artist Vicki Boatright to inspire (启发) students.
“I liked that she concentrated her attention on animals,” Boxler said, “which I thought would be a proper subject for sixth graders.”
Boatright paints special, colorful portraits of pets. “I can't remember a time that art was not part of me,” she said during a recent interview. “My work is inspired by the two things I love most, art and pets.”
Instead of canvas (画布), Boatright paints on OSB (short for oriented strand board). OSB is a wood-based board, which gives natural texture (纹理) to Boatright's paintings. The artist first paints the surface black, and then adds different bright colors on it.
The artist presents her work at art shows and in her working place. Since 2008, her following has increased quickly with the help of technology. “When social media (社交媒体) started getting popular,” Boatright said,“it all changed.”
Boatright is now able to communicate with pet owners around the world through Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Her biggest social media success came when she “tweeted” as her cat and recorded his funny adventures (冒险). Orders for pet portraits started coming in from people everywhere.
Boatright's aim in her art is to record the relationship between the pet and owner. “A love for a pet lasts forever, even after they have left us,” Boatright said. “I like to create artwork that celebrates that relationship.”

A
She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum (罗浮宫) where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It's because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis Ⅰ in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War Ⅱ, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.

The first drawings on walls appeared in caves (洞穴) thousands of years ago. Modern graffiti (涂鸦) seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags (标签)”, on buildings all over the city.
In the early days, the “taggers” were young street men who were trying to mark their space. They worked in groups and called what they did “writing” - the word “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the writer Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be considered as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared (宣告) the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught and instead many of the graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.
The argument over whether graffiti is art is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York City councillor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else's buildings it becomes a crime. On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that graffiti shows freedom and makes cities livelier.
Graffiti is now sometimes big business. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have become internationally famous by producing works which often make humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over $100,000.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了涂鸦艺术的起源、发展等以及人们对它的看法。

Ⅳ.七选五
A bird that hums
Many birds are known for their special songs or calls. But one type of bird is famous for its hum (嗡嗡声) — the hummingbird. In fact, hummingbirds get their name from the humming noise they make. __1__. Instead, the hum comes from the whir (嗡嗡声) of this tiny bird's wings in flight.
__2__. But one type of hummingbird makes a buzzing sound — the bee hummingbird of Cuba. The bee hummingbird gets its name not only from its buzz, but also from its size. This smallest bird in the world is only two inches (5 cm) long.
When a young hummingbird first hatches (孵化) from its egg, its body and wings are featherless (无羽毛的). But as soon as its feathers come in, the tiny bird starts to practice “humming”. __3__, the baby hummingbird can beat its wings fast enough to “whir”, and it's ready to fly.
When a grown hummingbird really gets going, it can beat its wings up to 200 times per second and fly forward at about 30 miles per hour. Hummingbirds can also beat their wings both forward and backward as well as up and down.
__4__ — it is the only type of bird that can hover (盘旋), or stay in one place in the air. While it hovers, a hummingbird's wings beat back and forth up to 70 times per second. __5__, watch its whirring wings and listen closely. Can you hear the hummingbird's hum?
A.When its wings beat very fast
B.After about a month of practice
C.The next time you see a hummingbird
D.This ability makes the hummingbird more special
E.Most hummingbirds' wings make a humming sound
F.You might guess that a hummingbird's hum comes from its vioce
G.The baby hummingbird flies backward and forward as soon as it has feathers
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了能够以快速拍打翅膀的方式而悬停在空中的鸟——蜂鸟。
1.答案与解析:F'由该空前的“get their name from the humming noise they make”可知,本段介绍了蜂鸟名字的由来。F项中的“a hummingbird's hum comes from its voice”与该空后的“the hum comes from the whir of this tiny bird's wings in flight”形成对比。
2.答案与解析:E'结合第一段介绍蜂鸟的名字来自于其飞行时发出的嗡嗡声和该空后的“one type of hummingbird makes a buzzing sound”可知,大多数蜂鸟飞行时翅膀发出嗡嗡声。E项中的“Most”和该空后的“one type”形成对比。
3.答案与解析:B'B项中的practice与该空前的practice“humming.”相呼应。
4.答案与解析:D'D项中的“This ability”指该空前提到的“beat their wings both forward and backward as well as up and down”。
5.答案与解析:C'由该空后的“watch its whirring wings and listen closely”和“Can you hear the hummingbird's hum”可知,此处作者建议读者如果能遇见蜂鸟,一定要仔细观察它的翅膀,听一听它发出的嗡嗡声。

I like swimming, but I don't like to swim in this river.
我喜欢游泳,但是我不喜欢在这条河里游泳。
②begin, start, continue等少数几个动词后接动名词或不定式作宾语时意义基本相同。但如果begin, start等用于进行时态,或其主语是物而非人时,须用不定式。

She was starting to do her homework.她正开始做作业。
(3)need, want, require 作“需要”讲,句子的主语为物,且句子的主语和谓语动词后的非谓语动词之间是被动关系时,这些动词后面可接动词-ing形式的主动式,也可接不定式的被动式。
The windows need cleaning.
=The windows need to be cleaned.
窗户需要擦了。
二、动词-ing形式作主语
1.动词-ing形式作主语时具有名词的特征,谓语动词一般用单数。
Drinking a lot of water is good for you.
多喝水对你有好处。
Going to Hangzhou by train takes about 16 hours from here.
从这儿乘火车到杭州大约要(花费)16个小时。
2.用it作形式主语,而将动词-ing形式的动词或动词短语放到句末,以避免句子结构头重脚轻。常见句型有:It is+no good (no use, fun, a pleasure, a waste of time)+doing...。
It is no good eating too much sweet food.
吃太多的甜食没有好处。
It's a waste of time sitting here without doing anything.
在这儿干坐着是浪费时间。
3.动名词的复合结构作主语,当动名词的逻辑主语是有生命的人或物时,逻辑主语通常用形容词性物主代词或名词所有格形式。
His returning back to work is a great help to us.
他回来工作对我们来说是一大帮助。
[名师点津] 动词-ing形式和不定式都可以作主语,动词-ing形式作主语表示一般或抽象的多次性行为,不定式作主语往往表示具体的或一次性的动作。
Playing with fire is dangerous.
玩火危险。(泛指)
Be careful! To play with fire will be dangerous.
小心点!玩火会带来危险。(指一具体动作)
[考情分析]
非谓语动词的考查是近年来语法填空或改错题等题型几乎每年必考察的方向,非谓语动词可以在句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语和补语等成分,不能作谓语。本模块主要学习动词不定式和动词-ing形式作宾语及作主语的用法。这也是高考考查中一个热点的方向。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance.These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a_juicer,_you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
【语篇解读】 人们爱七月,因为七月是收获的季节,各种浆果和核果喜获丰收。那么如何加工食用这些果实呢?这些果实各自又含有哪些营养成分呢?
1.What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A.They contain protein.
B.They are high in vitamin A.
C.They have a pleasant taste.
D.They are rich in antioxidants.
答案与解析:C 细节理解题。根据第二段的倒数第二句可知应该选C项,樱桃很美味。“have a pleasant taste”与“be so delicious”的意思类似。
2.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A.To make them smell better.
B.To keep their colour.
C.To speed up their ripening.
D.To improve their nutrition.
答案与解析:B 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“If you like,a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown”可知,把新鲜的柠檬汁挤到香蕉上会防止它变色。
3.What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?
A.A dessert. B.A drink.
C.A container. D.A machine.
答案与解析:D 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below”可推断出,juicer应该是“榨汁机”的意思。
4.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A biology textbook. B.A health magazine.
C.A research paper. D.A travel brochure.
答案与解析:B 文章出处判断题。全文主要介绍了一些七月成熟的果实以及这些果实的营养成分等,而这自然与健康饮食有关,介绍这类内容的文章很可能刊登在健康杂志上。

人们普遍认为,生活在1881年至1973年间的巴勃罗·毕加索是20世纪西方最伟大的艺术家。他出生于西班牙,10岁时就已经是一名出色的画家了。16岁时他举办了首次个人画展。毕加索在西班牙学习绘画,但20岁出头时他搬去了法国。从1902年到1904年,他画了一系列以蓝色为主色调的画。这些画描绘了穷困和不幸的人(的生活),是毕加索“蓝色时期”的名作。从1904年到1906年,毕加索用粉红色画了一些较为明快的画。这一时期被看做是毕加索的“粉红色时期”。
之后毕加索和另一位西班牙画家乔治·布拉克一起开起了一场重要的新艺术运动——立体主义运动。毕加索的第一批立体主义作品都是用褐色和灰色绘成的。人们认为毕加索最伟大的立体主义作品是《格尔尼卡》,这幅画于1937年在马德里绘成。格尔尼卡是在西班牙20世纪30年代的战争中被摧毁的一个城镇的名字。对于这座城镇所遭遇的一切,毕加索在这幅画中表达了自己的情感。

Ⅴ.短文改错
A week before Earth Day, posters put up around our school, called on us to protect our earth.
Our class came up with the idea that we should make a better use of the used materials. We bring worn-out clothes and empty plastic bottles to our classroom and turned them into handbags and small vases. That weekend, we went to a nearby neighborhood and gave away that we had made to the people here. Everyone was very happily with those gifts, especially little kids. We did very well that we were invited to share our ideas and experiences with all the student of our school.
We are very proud of us and believe that we can do much more for a better world.
答案:
A week before Earth Day, posters put up around our school, on us to protect our earth.

We did well that we were invited to share our ideas and experiences with all the of our school.

①答案与解析:posters后加were 考查主谓一致,语态和时态。put up意为“张贴”,是及物动词短语,put up与posters是动宾关系,故应用被动语态;又因为主语为复数且文章叙述的是过去的事情,故用were。
②答案与解析:called改为calling 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处在句中作状语,call与句子主语posters之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用现在分词形式。
③答案与解析:去掉a 考查冠词。make good use of表示“充分利用”,为固定短语,此处用了比较级。
④答案与解析:bring改为brought 考查动词时态。根据语境可知,这里表示发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。
⑤答案与解析:that改为what 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,gave away后接宾语从句,连接词在从句中作宾语,故用连接代词what。
⑥答案与解析:here改为there 考查副词。此处表示“那里的人”,故用there。
⑦答案与解析:happily改为happy 考查形容词。此处作表语,应用形容词。
⑧答案与解析:very改为so 考查固定搭配。so... that...表示“如此……以至于……”。
⑨答案与解析:student改为students 考查名词的数。student为可数名词,且前面有all修饰,故应用其复数形式。
⑩答案与解析:us改为ourselves 考查代词。该句的主语为We,故后面的宾语应用反身代词。

A
She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum (罗浮宫) where it is housed.
“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It's because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis Ⅰ in 1519.
In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum, hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later. During World War Ⅱ, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.

Modern graffiti (涂鸦) seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names, or “tags (标签)”, on buildings all over the city.
In the early days, the “taggers” were young street men who were trying to mark their space. They worked in groups and called what they did “writing” - the word “graffiti” was first used by The New York Times and the writer Norman Mailer. Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time that it began to be considered as an art form, John Lindsay, the then mayor of New York, declared (宣告) the first war on graffiti. By the 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught and instead many of the graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings.
The argument over whether graffiti is art is still going on. Peter Vallone, a New York City councillor, thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else's buildings it becomes a crime. On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that graffiti shows freedom and makes cities livelier.
Graffiti is now sometimes big business. The Frenchman Blek le Rat and the British artist Banksy have become internationally famous by producing works which often make humorous points. Works by Banksy have been sold for over $100,000.

Ⅳ.七选五
A bird that hums
Many birds are known for their special songs or calls. But one type of bird is famous for its hum (嗡嗡声) — the hummingbird. In fact, hummingbirds get their name from the humming noise they make. __1__. Instead, the hum comes from the whir (嗡嗡声) of this tiny bird's wings in flight.
__2__. But one type of hummingbird makes a buzzing sound — the bee hummingbird of Cuba. The bee hummingbird gets its name not only from its buzz, but also from its size. This smallest bird in the world is only two inches (5 cm) long.
When a young hummingbird first hatches (孵化) from its egg, its body and wings are featherless (无羽毛的). But as soon as its feathers come in, the tiny bird starts to practice “humming”. __3__, the baby hummingbird can beat its wings fast enough to “whir”, and it's ready to fly.
When a grown hummingbird really gets going, it can beat its wings up to 200 times per second and fly forward at about 30 miles per hour. Hummingbirds can also beat their wings both forward and backward as well as up and down.
__4__ — it is the only type of bird that can hover (盘旋), or stay in one place in the air. While it hovers, a hummingbird's wings beat back and forth up to 70 times per second. __5__, watch its whirring wings and listen closely. Can you hear the hummingbird's hum?
A.When its wings beat very fast
B.After about a month of practice
C.The next time you see a hummingbird
D.This ability makes the hummingbird more special
E.Most hummingbirds' wings make a humming sound
F.You might guess that a hummingbird's hum comes from its vioce
G.The baby hummingbird flies backward and forward as soon as it has feathers
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了能够以快速拍打翅膀的方式而悬停在空中的鸟——蜂鸟。
1.答案与解析:F'由该空前的“get their name from the humming noise they make”可知,本段介绍了蜂鸟名字的由来。F项中的“a hummingbird's hum comes from its voice”与该空后的“the hum comes from the whir of this tiny bird's wings in flight”形成对比。
2.答案与解析:E'结合第一段介绍蜂鸟的名字来自于其飞行时发出的嗡嗡声和该空后的“one type of hummingbird makes a buzzing sound”可知,大多数蜂鸟飞行时翅膀发出嗡嗡声。E项中的“Most”和该空后的“one type”形成对比。
3.答案与解析:B'B项中的practice与该空前的practice“humming.”相呼应。
4.答案与解析:D'D项中的“This ability”指该空前提到的“beat their wings both forward and backward as well as up and down”。
5.答案与解析:C'由该空后的“watch its whirring wings and listen closely”和“Can you hear the hummingbird's hum”可知,此处作者建议读者如果能遇见蜂鸟,一定要仔细观察它的翅膀,听一听它发出的嗡嗡声。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance.These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a_juicer,_you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
【语篇解读】 人们爱七月,因为七月是收获的季节,各种浆果和核果喜获丰收。那么如何加工食用这些果实呢?这些果实各自又含有哪些营养成分呢?

B.To keep their colour.
C.To speed up their ripening.
D.To improve their nutrition.
答案与解析:B 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“If you like,a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown”可知,把新鲜的柠檬汁挤到香蕉上会防止它变色。
3.What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?
A.A dessert. B.A drink.
C.A container. D.A machine.
答案与解析:D 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below”可推断出,juicer应该是“榨汁机”的意思。
4.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A biology textbook. B.A health magazine.
C.A research paper. D.A travel brochure.
答案与解析:B 文章出处判断题。全文主要介绍了一些七月成熟的果实以及这些果实的营养成分等,而这自然与健康饮食有关,介绍这类内容的文章很可能刊登在健康杂志上。

We bring worn-out clothes and empty plastic bottles to our classroom and turned them into handbags and small vases. That weekend, we went to a nearby neighborhood and gave away that we had made to the people here. Everyone was very happily with those gifts, especially little kids. We did very well that we were invited to share our ideas and experiences with all the student of our school.
We are very proud of us and believe that we can do much more for a better world.

①答案与解析:posters后加were 考查主谓一致,语态和时态。put up意为“张贴”,是及物动词短语,put up与posters是动宾关系,故应用被动语态;又因为主语为复数且文章叙述的是过去的事情,故用were。
②答案与解析:called改为calling 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处在句中作状语,call与句子主语posters之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故应用现在分词形式。
③答案与解析:去掉a 考查冠词。make good use of表示“充分利用”,为固定短语,此处用了比较级。
④答案与解析:bring改为brought 考查动词时态。根据语境可知,这里表示发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。
⑤答案与解析:that改为what 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,gave away后接宾语从句,连接词在从句中作宾语,故用连接代词what。
⑥答案与解析:here改为there 考查副词。此处表示“那里的人”,故用there。
⑦答案与解析:happily改为happy 考查形容词。此处作表语,应用形容词。
⑧答案与解析:very改为so 考查固定搭配。so... that...表示“如此……以至于……”。
⑨答案与解析:student改为students 考查名词的数。student为可数名词,且前面有all修饰,故应用其复数形式。
⑩答案与解析:us改为ourselves 考查代词。该句的主语为We,故后面的宾语应用反身代词。
