Module 2 The Renaissance
A hidden portrait underneath (在……下面) the “Mona Lisa” has been discovered by a French scientist, who said he uncovered the image using reflective light technology. The digitally reconstructed image of the hidden portrait was presented at a press conference by scientist Pascal Cotte, who's been analyzing the Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece for over a decade. Cotte said he uncovered the image using a camera that took images of the painting under intense light.
The hidden portrait showed a sitting figure that looks almost the same as the “Mona Lisa.” There are small but great differences. The sitter in the image appears to be looking to the side rather than directly at the viewer, and the sitter does not seem to have the smile that has attracted “Mona Lisa”viewers for over 500 years.
Cotte also said that his findings challenged the widely accepted theory that the “Mona Lisa” is a painting of a real life Italian woman Lisa Gheradini in the 16th century. “The results change our vision of Leonardo's masterpiece forever,” he said. “When I finished the reconstruction of Lisa Gherardini, I was in front of the portrait, and she is totally different to ‘Mona Lisa’ today. This is not the same woman.”
In a recent documentary, art historian, Andrew Graham?Dixon, said he studied historical documents linked to the “Mona Lisa” alongside Cotte's findings and came to the same conclusion as Cotte.“I think the new discoveries are like a huge stone thrown into the still water of art history,”Graham?Dixon said.“They disturb everything that we thought that we knew about the ‘Mona Lisa’.There may be some reluctance (不情愿) on the part of the authorities to think about changing the title of the painting because that's what we're talking about. It's ‘Goodbye, Mona Lisa.’ She is somebody else.”
The Louvre Museum declined to comment on the findings, saying it was not a part of the scientific team that studied the painting. Other art historians remain doubtful about the claims that Cotte's findings could prove the “Mona Lisa” was someone else rather than Lisa Gheradini.

The Renaissance①
For many people, the Renaissance means 14th to 16th century Italy, and the developments in art and architecture, music and literature which took place there at that time②. But there is one work which, perhaps more than any other, expresses the spirit of the Renaissance③: the Mona Lisa. It is believed to be the best example of④ a new lifelike⑤ style of painting that amazed⑥ people when it was first used⑦. Painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the years 1503-1506⑧, the Mona Lisa is a mysterious⑨ masterpiece⑩. People want to know who Mona Lisa is, and why she is smiling?. Even if people do not know much about the Renaissance?, they have heard of this painting.

文艺复兴
[第1段译文]
对于很多人来说,文艺复兴指的是14-16世纪时期的意大利,及其当时出现在艺术、建筑、音乐以及文学领域方面的发展。但有一件作品可能比其他的任何作品都更能表达文艺复兴的精神——《蒙娜·丽莎》。它被认为是一种新的形象逼真型绘画风格的最好代表,这种绘画风格首次被使用就使人们惊叹不已。《蒙娜·丽莎》由莱奥纳多·达·芬奇于1503到1506年间绘制而成,是一件神秘的杰作。人们想知道蒙娜·丽莎是谁,她又为什么在笑。即便是对文艺复兴了解不多的人,他们也都听说过这幅作品。
But the Renaissance is, of course, more than? just Mona Lisa. Renaissance is a French word which means “rebirth”? and it first appeared in English in the 19th century. The word was used to? describe a period in European history which began with the arrival of the first Europeans in America?, an age of exploration, and the beginning of the modern world. It was as if Europe was waking up? after the long sleep of the Middle Ages?. From Italy, the ideas of the Renaissance rapidly spread? northwards? to France, Germany, England, and the rest of Europe.
Trade with other parts of the world meant that Europe was getting richer, too. This meant that people had money to spend on the arts; and it became easier for artists to find people who could afford to buy their works or employ them. Leonardo worked for important people such as the Duke of Milan, and, towards the end of his life, the King of France.

[第2~3段译文]
但是,文艺复兴当然不仅仅只是《蒙娜·丽莎》。“Renaissance”是一个法语单词,意为“再生”,于19世纪首次出现在英语中。这个词被用来描绘随着首批欧洲人抵达美洲而开始的那段欧洲历史,这是一段探险的历史,也是现代世界史的开端。仿佛欧洲在经历了中世纪的长眠之后,就要苏醒过来了。从意大利开始,文艺复兴的观念很快向北传遍了法国、德国、英国以及欧洲其他地方。,与世界其他地方的贸易意味着欧洲也正在变得更加富裕。也就是意味着人们有钱来花费在艺术上,对于艺术家来说想要找到人来购买他们的作品或者雇用他们也就变得更加容易。莱奥纳多为一些重要的人物工作过,比如米兰的公爵,接近晚年时他曾经为法国国王工作过。
Renaissance artists found new ideas for their work in classical Greece and Rome. But they looked forward, too, by opening new frontiers in the arts. Painters discovered how to use perspective and the effects of light; composers put different voices together and created polyphony (“many voices”); architects preferred designing buildings with more light which contrasted with the heaviness of the Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages.
The sense of exploration which motivated the artists went hand in hand with a new type of philosophy. After centuries of accepting a medieval world viewin which human life was considered of little value compared with the greatness of God, philosophers began asking questions like “What is a person?” or “Why am I here?” For the first time, they put people, not religion, at the centre of the universe.

[第4~5段译文]
文艺复兴的艺术家从古希腊以及古罗马文献中为他们的作品寻找新点子。而他们也通过开辟新的艺术领域来展望未来。画家们发现了怎样利用透视和光的作用;作曲家们将不同的声音合到一起创造了复调音乐;相比较于中世纪哥特式教堂的沉重来说,建筑师们则更喜欢设计更加光亮的建筑。
这种激励艺术家的探索意识与一种新的哲学携手共进。几个世纪以来,哲学家们都持有中世纪的世界观,认为与上帝的伟大相比人的生命很渺小,现在他们开始提出诸如“人为何物?”以及“我为何存在?”这样的问题。有史以来第一次,他们将人而不是宗教放在了宇宙的中心。
The Renaissance was a time of scientific invention, too. Leonardo, as well as being one of the greatest painters the world has ever known, was also a skilled inventor. Wherever he went, he carried a notebook around with him, in which he wrote down his ideas. They included detailed drawings of the human body, plans for engineers to build canals and bridges,and astonishing drawings of machines which were not to be built until hundreds of years later, such as aeroplanes, parachutes, submarines and tanks. Towards the end of his life he was employed by the King of France to do scientific research, and he did not have a lot of time for painting.
In short, Leonardo was an extraordinary genius, an example of what has been described as “Renaissance man”: someone interested in everything and with many different talents. But even if his only contribution to history had been the Mona Lisa, it would have been genius enough for all time.,as well as (=in addition to)以及

[第6~7段译文]
文艺复兴也是一个科学发明层出不穷的时代。作为举世公认的最伟大的画家之一,莱奥纳多同时也是一个熟练的发明家。不管走到哪里他都随身携带一个笔记本,以便?随时?记录下自己的想法。这些包括人体的细致素描、供工程师建造运河以及桥梁的设计以及一些令人震惊的成百上千年后才被造出来的机器制图,如飞机、降落伞、潜水艇以及坦克。在生命晚年,他受法国国王委托去做一些科学研究,所以很少有时间从事绘画创作。
简言之,莱奥纳多是一个非凡的天才,一个被描绘成“文艺复兴人物”的典范:一个对凡事皆有兴趣并有诸多才能的人。但即使他对历史的贡献仅仅是一幅《蒙娜·丽莎》,这也已经足够成为恒久的天才作品。

A
Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, Italy on March 6,1475.He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up. His mother died when he was only six years old. Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo's life. Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.
At the age of thirteen, he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was not only a painter but also an artist. Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico. Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time. During the next few years, Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps, Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.
In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome. A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pieta. It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.
Michelangelo's fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin. Many people didn't think he could do much with it. He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished. David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture. Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.
语篇解读:米开朗基罗·博那罗蒂是意大利文艺复兴时期著名的艺术家,本文向我们介绍了一些他的生平事迹。
1.What can we learn about Michelangelo as a young child?
A.He lived a very hard life.
B.He showed great interest in art.

Leonardo da Vinci, the son of a local lawyer, was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci. He was apprenticed (做学徒) to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an independent master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling (统治的) Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect.
Leonardo was in Milan until the city was invaded by the French in 1499 and the Sforza family was forced to flee. He may have visited Venice before returning to Florence. During his time in Florence, he painted several portraits, but the only one that survives is the famous portrait — the Mona Lisa (1503-1506).
In 1506, Leonardo returned to Milan, staying there until 1513.This was followed by three years living in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French King Francis Ⅰ, Leonardo moved to the Chateau of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on 2 May, 1519.
The fame of Leonardo's surviving paintings means that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks show the most brilliant mind. He wrote and drew on subjects including geology, anatomy (解剖学), which he studied in order to paint the human form more exactly. He “invented” the bicycle, airplane, helicopter, and parachute some 500 years ahead of their time.
If all these works had been published in an understandable form, Leonardo's place as a pioneering scientist would have been beyond debate. Yet his true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two: an artist?engineer. His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science was expressed through art, and his drawings and diagrams showed what he meant, and how he understood the world worked.
5.Leonardo's career reached its peak probably during his stay in ________.
A.Milan B.Venice
C.Florence D.Rome
解析:选C 推理判断题。从第二段最后一句可知,达·芬奇在佛罗伦萨期间创作了很多绘画,其中留下来的只有《蒙娜·丽莎》,由此推断,这个时期是他事业的巅峰。
6.Why did Leonardo study anatomy?
A.He wanted to be a doctor.
B.He had strong interest in it.
C.He wanted to invent other objects.
D.He wanted to paint the human form exactly.
解析:选D 细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知,达·芬奇研究解剖学的目的是为了更加精确地描绘人体。
7.What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A.Leonardo had a special way of painting.
B.Leonardo was both an artist and a scientist.
C.Leonardo was an artist instead of a scientist.
D.Leonardo was more of a scientist than an artist.
解析:选B 段落大意题。综合文章最后一段,本段主要强调达·芬奇是画家和科学家的融合,既是画家也是科学家。
C
In the later half of the 13th century, a new trend of fine arts appeared in the central part of Italy with Florence as its centre, representing the change from fine arts of Middle Ages to Renaissance art.
At that time, Florence school became the main stream of fine arts.The 14th century saw the birth of a great artist — Giotto.His art bore a striking tendency of Realism.For most people Giotto_is_the_first_name_in_European_painting_since_antiquity. That he had breathed fresh life into painting was recognised by people of the day, and later by Ghiberti and Vasari.
Before Giotto, painting was still considered a “mechanical” art.Giotto came to occupy a position of great respect in Florence.Though he was employed by the Bardi and Peruzzi families, owners of the most important European banking houses of the day, he never limited his activity to Florence, and prestigious (声望很高的) commission in other parts of Italy kept him on the move frequently.At a time when Italy's flourishing economy made every Italian city an independent cultural and artistic centre, Giotto went beyond regional barriers and the effect of his art was felt throughout the peninsula (半岛).
In his lifetime Giotto has raised painting to a prestigious level among the arts, to such a high level that it influenced sculpture.Italian painting can be said to have changed greatly with the appearance of Giotto than ever before.The motivation Giotto gave to the arts was so great that it determined the fate of European painting.By the middle of the fourteenth century Europe had already become aware of Giotto's new ideas, which agreed with the growing secular tendency in European society.
语篇解读:乔托——意大利杰出的画家,被认定是意大利文艺复兴时期的开创者,被誉为“欧洲绘画之父”。
8.Before the later half of the 13th century________.
A.fine arts of Middle Ages was the main stream
B.Renaissance art was the main stream
C.Florence school began to disappear
D.Giotto became a great artist
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,13世纪后半期,美术发生了很大的变化,从中世纪美术向文艺复兴美术转变。由此可判断出在13世纪前半期,中世纪美术为主流。故答案为A。
9.What does the author mean by saying “Giotto is the first name in European painting since antiquity” in Paragraph 2?
A.Giotto is the artist's first name.
B.Giotto is the man who started European painting.
C.Giotto is the most important painter in Europe since antiquity.
D.Giotto is the name of a most famous European painting.
解析:选C 句意理解题。从第二段看出,本段讲述这位艺术家的巨大成就,而题目中的这句话正好支持这段的主题。所以这句话就是为了表明他在绘画界的地位。
10.From the third paragraph we can learn________.
A.Giotto thought painting was a “mechanical” art
B.Giotto didn't get great respect in Florence
C.Giotto owned European banking houses
D.Giotto's art affected the whole Italy

11.The main theme of the passage probably is________.
A.the Renaissance in Italy
B.Giotto, a great artist
C.Florence school
D.fine arts of Middle Ages
解析:选B 主旨大意题。纵览全文可以看出本文是一篇人物介绍的文章,所以主题应是B项“乔托——一位伟大的艺术家”。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Credit card debts, loans and overdrawn (透支) accounts — these are costly mistakes you don't want your children to make when they grow up. __1__ According to Mylene Lopa, a chief marketing officer of Sun Life Financial, you should teach your kids about money as early as possible. Start simple and expose them to the following basic concepts.
Spending
Giving your children some pocket money is a good way to teach them how to be responsible. “The money should just be enough to buy them a treat, like a juice or a biscuit. It's for practice more than anything,” Mylene says. __2__ Tell your kid he will get a reward if he saves some of that money.
Saving
__3__ They are always cute and colorful, making saving a fun and positive activity for kids. Encourage your children further by bringing them to the bank and showing them how to manage their savings themselves.“It makes them feel more grown?up and they love it,” says Mylene.
Earning
For children, earning usually comes in the form of gifts they receive for good grades or behavior. __4__ “Material rewards should be saved for even greater achievements,” Mylene advises, “like if they top the class or they really go beyond the call of duty to help.” This may let your children know making money is not so easy.
Along with these basic concepts, another way to teach kids about money is being a good example. __5__ It's hard to teach kids about saving if they see you splurging (挥霍) and borrowing all the time.
A.Be careful when giving them.
B.Buy your children moneyboxes.
C.Make it clear what items the money is for.
D.Set up a fund for your children when they get older.
E.Tell your children to pay a visit to the bank frequently.
F.Teaching your children about money will help them form good habits in life.
G.Avoid borrowing money from other people and use your credit card responsibly.
1.选F 该空前一句内容说的是花钱的一些坏习惯和一些错误的做法。空格后说你应该尽早教孩子一些有关钱的知识,可知此句承上启下,指教孩子了解钱有助于他们养成好的习惯。
2.选C 选项C中的“the money”指的是上文中的“pocket money”。给孩子零花钱,并告知他们这些钱的用途。
3.选B 根据下一句“They are always cute and colorful, making saving a fun and positive activity for kids.”可知此处指为孩子买存钱罐。
4.选A 上一句说孩子挣的钱大多来源于表现好的奖励,下一句又说物质奖励应该等到孩子有更大的成就时再给,可知此句应为句意的转折,意为给孩子奖励时要小心。
5.选G 根据上文“... another way to teach kids about money is being a good example.”可知此处举例说明怎样为孩子做好榜样。

Long ago in an Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing much money to a moneylender. The moneylender,old and ugly, __1__ the merchant's beautiful daughter, so he put forward a bargain. He said he would __2__ the merchant's debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were frightened by the __3__.
The moneylender said he would put a black and a white pebbles (石子) into a(n) __4__ bag. The girl would then have to __5__ one pebble from the bag. If she got the black pebble, she would become the moneylender's __6__ and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she got the white pebble, she needn't marry him and her father's debt would __7__ be forgiven. But if she __8__ to pick a pebble,her father would be thrown into prison.
As they walked, the moneylender __9__ to pick up two pebbles from the pebble?covered path. However, the sharp?eyed girl __10__ that he had put two black pebbles into the bag. He then __11__ the girl to pick her pebble from the bag.
The girl thought for a while and put her hand into the bag and __12__ a pebble. Without looking at it, she missed and let it __13__ the path where it immediately became __14__ among all the other pebbles.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述一位聪明的姑娘利用自己的智慧帮助父亲摆脱债务,也使自己免于不幸的故事。由此启发我们每个难题都有解决的办法,不过需要我们从另一个方面去思考。
1.A.believed B.attracted
C.employed D.fancied
解析:选D 根据下文“He said he would __2__ the merchant's debt if he could marry the daughter.”可知fancied(爱慕)符合语境。
2.A.meet B.forget
C.owe D.collect
解析:选B 根据下文中“her father's debt would __7__ be forgiven (她父亲的债务会被豁免)”可知forget符合语境。
3.A.suggestion B.argument
C.blame D.challenge
解析:选A 根据语境,商人和他的女儿都对放债者的提议感到害怕。上文中的“put forward a bargain”也有提示。
4.A.beautiful B.expensive
C.magical D.empty
解析:选D 下文提到:放到袋子里的石子有两个,剩下的那个是“黑的”,掉到地上的那个就是“白的”。由此判断在装入两个石子之前,袋子是空的。
5.A.pick B.change
C.recognize D.buy
解析:选A 从下文叙述的故事来看,放债者让商人的女儿从袋子中“取出”了一块石子,而非变换或辨认等。
6.A.sister B.friend
C.relative D.wife
解析:选D 上文提到放债者要商人的女儿嫁给他,所以如果拿到了黑石子,就要成为他的妻子。
7.A.still B.thus
C.even D.again
解析:选A 下文的But与上文两个If开头的句子是转折关系。两个If开头的句子之间为并列关系,且有“her father's debt would __7__ be forgiven”可知此处填still。
8.A.regretted B.tried
C.hoped D.refused
解析:选D 放债者提出的交易包含三个方面,此处描述的是“拒绝”取石子的情况。如果她拒绝取石子,她的父亲就会被送进监狱。

解析:选C 上文的“As they walked”以及后面的“pick up”可以判断:放债者“俯身”拾起两个石子来。
10.A.guessed B.noticed
C.understood D.predicted
解析:选B 结合故事情境,根据上文的sharp?eyed判断,女孩“发现”放债者拾起两个黑石子来,故选noticed。
11.A.asked B.preferred
C.helped D.led
解析:选A 放债者要求女孩取石子。
12.A.threw away B.turned over
C.drew out D.pointed at
解析:选C 和上文的“put her hand into the bag”对比,此处指从袋子里“取出”一个石子。
13.A.fall onto B.move off
C.slide into D.roll along
解析:选A 从下文的故事发展来看,石子掉到路面上,和其他的石子混合在了一起,故用“fall onto”。
14.A.white B.distinct
C.lost D.common
解析:选C 石子落到地面的石子堆里,当然看不到掉下去的是哪一个。lost最符合语境。
15.A.ridiculous B.clumsy
C.fortunate D.disappointed
解析:选B 女孩故意说自己“笨拙(clumsy)”,把挑出的石子“掉到了地上”。
16.A.left B.wanted
C.chosen D.discovered
解析:选A 此处是女孩告诉放债者,“如果你看看袋子里剩下的那块石子,就能知道我取出的是哪块石子了。”
17.A.doubt B.tell
C.remember D.explain
解析:选B tell意为“辨识,区别”,含有推理判断得出结论的意义,符合语境。

19.A.dishonesty B.anxiety

20.A.serious B.adventurous
C.advantageous D.dangerous
解析:选C 和上文的impossible一词比较,此处选用advantageous表示把不利形势变成了对女孩有利的形势。

听到这个消息我很高兴。(不定式短语to hear the news在句中作原因状语,通常位于句末)
(2)动词?ing形式(现在分词)和动词?ed形式(过去分词)在句中通常作原因、时间、伴随、条件、结果、让步状语等。主语与动词?ing形式(现在分词)在逻辑上存在主谓关系,主语与动词?ed形式(过去分词)在逻辑上存在动宾关系。
Seeing the teacher, he ran into the classroom.

[名师点津] 动词?ing 形式和动词?ed 形式的独立结构:
动词?ing 形式短语(现在分词短语)和动词?ed 形式短语(过去分词短语)作状语时,其逻辑主语通常与句子的主语一致,但有时它们可以有自己的独立主语,这种结构被称为独立主格结构。当逻辑主语与其后的动词是主动关系时,用动词?ing 形式;当逻辑主语与其后的动词是被动关系时,用动词?ed 形式。
Time permitting, we can complete the project.
如果时间允许,我们就能完成这个项目。(逻辑主语time与 permit 存在主动关系,独立主格结构作条件状语)
All the work done, they decided to treat themselves to a movie.
所有的工作都做完了,他们决定去看一场电影犒劳自己。(逻辑主语all the work与do之间存在被动关系,句中独立主格结构作原因或时间状语)

→She ran up to me, her hair flying in the wind.
7.非谓语动词常考的其他结构
(1)疑问词+不定式结构
疑问词who, what, which, when, where和how后加不定式可构成一种特殊的不定式短语。它在句中可以用作主语、宾语、表语。
When to start has not been decided.
何时动身尚未决定。(主语)
I don't know what to do.
我不知道该怎么办。(宾语)
I have no idea of how to do it.
我不知道如何做此事。(表语)
(2)非谓语动词的独立主格结构
非谓语动词作状语时,其逻辑主语通常要与句子的主语保持一致。若不一致,则要在非谓语动词前加上其自身的逻辑主语构成非谓语动词的独立主格结构。独立主格结构没有真正的主语和谓语,因此,在语法上不是句子。独立主格结构在句中作状语,表示方式、时间、原因、条件、结果等。
①名词/代词+现在分词
名词/代词与构成现在分词的动词之间为主谓或动宾关系,现在分词多表示动作正在进行。
The guide leading the way, we had no trouble getting out of the forest.
向导领着路,我们毫不费劲地走出了森林。
②名词/代词+过去分词
名词/代词与构成过去分词的动词之间是动宾关系,过去分词表示动作已完成。
This done, we went home.
做完此事,我们就回家了。
③名词/代词+不定式
不定式多表示将要发生的动作。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
It is a tiny portrait of one of the most powerful women of the Renaissance.And for more than 50 years the old BBC journalist Charles Wheeler kept the picture of Eleonora of Toledo on his bookshelf.
But yesterday Wheeler returned the painting to Berlin's Gem?ldegalerie after discovering that it was a priceless original looted (掠夺) from the museum during the Second World War, not a copy as he had thought.
Wheeler, 83, acquired the 16th?century portrait by the Florentine artist Alessandro Allori from a German farmer who dropped in to the BBC's West Berlin office.“It was 1952.At the time people could move freely between East and West,” he said yesterday.“We were doing a programme called Letters Without Signature, where people living in the eastern zone could write a letter.The farmer reached into his pocket, took out a brown envelope and said it was a wedding present for me.” The farmer claimed he had got it from a Russian soldier in exchange for two sacks of potatoes to make vodka.Over the next 50?plus years Wheeler, one of the BBC's most distinguished foreign journalists, took the miniature (小画像) with him.“I was burgled four times over the years,” he said.“People were always taking my TV and radio.But they ignored the painting.”
It was only last year while making a BBC radio series on missing art that Wheeler realised the painting could have been stolen.After contacting the London?based Commission for Looted Art in Europe the work was swiftly identified as a minor masterpiece and returned yesterday to Berlin's picture gallery, where it was last seen in 1939.
Yesterday Anne Webber, co?chair of the commission, hailed (赞扬) the work as one of the “earliest diplomatic portraits of a woman”. “It's a charming painting,” she said.The miniature depicts (描绘) Eleonora of Toledo,whose husband Cosimo de Medici was one of Renaissance Italy's most powerful men.
语篇解读:一位记者得到一幅意大利文艺复兴时期一位妇女的画像,但他以为是复制品,因此并没有在意。在保存了50多年以后,他最后得知画像是柏林艺术馆在二战中被盗的真品,于是他把这幅画归还给了该艺术馆。
1.Charles Wheeler kept the miniature on his bookshelf because________.
A.he thought it was of little value
B.he thought it would be safer there
C.he liked the picture very much
D.he wanted it to be seen by others
解析:选A 细节理解题。从第二段的“not a copy as he had thought”可知,这位BBC记者本来以为这是一件复制品,并没有重视。
2.The miniature was probably taken from the Berlin's picture gallery by________.
A.a burglar B.a German farmer
C.a Russian soldier D.a worker at the gallery
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第三段可知,这幅画是一个德国农民从一个俄国士兵手中用两袋土豆换来的。由此可以推断,该画很可能在战乱中落入一个俄国士兵手中。
3.In what way is the miniature considered to be priceless?
A.It survived the Second World War.
B.It depicts a powerful woman of the Renaissance.
C.It is a masterpiece by a famous artist in Germany.
D.It was painted more than 50 years ago.
解析:选B 推理判断题。从第一段和最后一段可知,这是一幅意大利文艺复兴时期一位重要妇女的画像,它具有重大意义。
4.From the passage we can learn________.
A.the painting was drawn by a woman of the Renaissance
B.Allori gave the journalist the painting as a wedding present
C.Charles Wheeler has kept the painting for over 50 years
D.Eleonora of Toledo was one of the most powerful men in Italy
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段和第三段中的倒数第三句话可知,他保存这幅画已经50多年了。
Ⅱ.语法填空
I was able to experience the real Corsica (科西嘉岛) through the generosity of complete strangers. It was my last day in Corsica, and I had woken up early __1__ (catch) the 6 a.m. sunrise at the pier (码头). As I walked back into the town, I saw an old woman and __2__ (hear) her shouting,“Do you want to come up?”
Without hearing my response, she repeated __3__ (loud) the invitation in broken English, and then shouted out her door code. I went to her apartment later and we chatted __4__ a while. She introduced herself as Marie, and when I told her I was flying out that evening, she said,“Ah! But you will still be here for lunch?”
So at 12 o'clock, I found myself at the bar underneath her apartment, where I then spent the afternoon drinking wines, __5__ (eat) fantastic homemade Corsican food, and laughing with Marie's rude __6__ friendly, Corsican fishermen friends.
These men were regular __7__ (customer); this lunchtime meeting was a daily routine and they accepted me as __8__ member of the bar family. When I eventually had to leave, Marie gave me a bottle of wine, __9__ was made by herself.
Without doubt, meeting with Marie that early morning had led to a __10__ (wonder) experience that I would never forget.
1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9.________ 10.________
语篇解读:作者在科西嘉岛旅行的最后一天感受到了当地人的热情,为这次旅行画上了一个圆满的句号。
1.to catch 这里用带to的动词不定式作状语表示目的。
2.heard and前后句子的时态一致,根据前面的“I saw an old woman” 可知此空需填hear的过去式 heard。
3.loudly 此空所填的词修饰前面的动词repeated,副词修饰动词,因此应该填loud的副词形式loudly。
4.for for a while意为“一会儿”。
5.eating and连接三个并列的动词短语作spent的宾语补足语。spend time (in) doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”。
6.but 此空前面的rude和空格后的friendly词义相反,所以此空需填but表转折。
7.customers 根据前面的“These men”可知主语为复数,所以此空需填customers。
8.a a member of 意为“……的一员”。
9.which which在这里引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面的a bottle of wine。
10.wonderful 根据文章大意可知这是一次美好且难忘的经历。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
The medieval (中世纪的) artists didn't know about perspective; they didn't want to make their people look like real individual people in a real individual scene.They wanted to show the truth, the eternal (永恒的) quality of their religious stories.So these artists didn't need to know about perspective.
In the European Renaissance period, artists wanted to show the importance of the individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings.A flat medieval style couldn't show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique.It was the Italian artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective drawing.At first the artists of the Renaissance only had a single?point perspective.Later they realized that they could have two?point perspective and still later multi?point perspective.
With two?point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an angle to the picture and draw two sides of it.The technique of perspective which seems so natural to us now is an invented technique, a part of the “grammar of painting”. Like all bits of grammar there are exceptions about perspective.For example, only vertical and horizontal surfaces seem to meet on eye level.Sloping roof tops don't meet on eye level.
For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their pictures.Nevertheless, there are a range of priorities (优先顺序) that artists in displaying individual styles.Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple single?point perspective.Cezanne always talked about space and volume.Van Gogh, like some of the other painters of the Impressionist period, was interested in Japanese prints.And Japanese artists until this century were always very strong designers of “flat” pictures.Picasso certainly made pictures which have volume and depth.However, he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to remind us that his paintings are paintings and not illusions (幻觉).
It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth.However, a strong two?dimensional design is just as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more important.
1.The passage mainly discusses________.
A.the difference between medieval and Renaissance art
B.how the technique of perspective influenced the modern art
C.the discovery of the technique of perspective
D.the contributions of Renaissance artists
解析:选B 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍文艺复兴时期出现的透视绘画技巧及其对现代艺术的影响。
2.According to the passage, which may be the main concern for medieval artists?
A.The individual person and his/her possessions and surroundings.
B.Real people, real scenes.
C.Eternal timeless truth of the earth.
D.Themes of religious stories.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知中世纪的艺术家们主要从事与宗教故事有关的绘画。
3.What's the author's purpose of giving the example in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain how perspective work in painting.
B.To support two?point perspective.
C.To show that there are exceptions about perspective.
D.To point out that the technique of perspective is an invented technique.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知透视法有例外之处,后面的例子就是为了说明这些例外之处。因此选C项。
4.It can be inferred from the passage that Renaissance artists________.
A.welcomed the medieval style of eternal truth
B.needed to develop a new approach towards painting to show a new level of reality
C.were inspired by vertical and horizontal surfaces in inventing the technique of perspective
D.saw two?dimensional design more important than a feeling of depth
解析:选B 推理判断题。读完全文可知,文艺复兴时期的艺术家们为了展示现实发明了透视法。因此本题选B项。
加餐练(二) 主观题规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. Kung fu, __1__ (especial), has had a great effect __2__ the millions of people who first learned about China through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about some other __3__ (aspect) of this culture. Other Asian nations have long known about the __4__ (great) of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are __5__ mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics. Korea and Japan long ago adopted Confucianism, something that continues today even as it __6__ (challenge) by pop culture. This strength comes from the ideas __7__ (give) in the Four Books of Confucianism, which built upon the ideas of an even __8__ (much) ancient period codified (编纂) in the Five Classics. From them, the West learns __9__ is uniquely Chinese, for example, feng shui. So far China has taken steps __10__ (further) this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.
1.especially 尤其是中国功夫,对于那些通过功夫初次了解中国的成千上万的人来讲,有着非常大的影响。especially“尤其是”,用于强调突出的人或者事情。
2.on have a ... effect on sb.“对某人有……影响”为固定搭配,故填on。
3.aspects 他们可能会来到中国,学习了解中国文化的一些其他方面。根据空前的“some other”及aspect作“方面,层面”讲的是可数名词可知,此处应用aspect的复数形式aspects。
4.greatness 其他亚洲国家很早以前就知道古代中国文化的博大。根据空格前的“the”及空格后的“of”可知,此处应填名词greatness。
5.a 这些国家自身的文化是本土文化和中国特色(文化)的混合。mix在此作名词,意为“混合,结合”,是可数名词,且此处表示泛指,故用a。
6.is challenged 根据本文的基本时态为一般现在时可知,此处亦用一般现在时;it在此指代上文中的“Confucianism”,和challenge之间为被动关系,应用被动语态。故填is challenged。
7.given 这种力量来自“四书”中所提供的观念。the ideas与give之间为逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。
8.more “四书”是依照“五经”的编纂中所体现的更为早期的思想而著成的。根据句意及空格前的“even”可知,此处应用比较级形式,故填more。
9.what 分析句子结构可知,空格处在此引导宾语从句,作learns的宾语,空格处在句中作主语,且此处表示“所……的事物”,故用what。
10.to further 目前,中国已经采取措施进一步推广中国文化。分析句子结构可知,空格处在句中作目的状语,故应用不定式形式。further在此用作动词,意为“促进,增进”。
Ⅱ.短文改错

May 7, Saturday Sunny
I went on a trip to the seaside today with my classmates and teachers.
We set out at eight o'clock from our school by school bus and we got to the seaside one hour later. As soon as we got off the bus, we started to scream with great excitement. Some of us took photos; others played with the sand on the beach. The most exciting thing was that we took a cruise ship to Monkey Island to see the monkeys. We fed them with bananas, which made them happy. We enjoyed our lunch by the seaside and the sea breeze was very cool. We headed back at five in the afternoon.
What a great day! I hope such trips should be arranged regularly because they can help students relax.

Module 2 The Renaissance
单元小结
The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, a gifted, and skilled painter in the Renaissance. He is reckoned one of the greatest painters in history. He had great passion for art and other things and never got tired of them. When he was young, he took up painting as his profession.
There are also many anecdotes about the Mona Lisa. One night, a burglar in debt stole the painting, but left the antique frame and the glass behind. The theft led to the public's anger. The police sought it in a confidential way and appealed to the witnesses to catch the suspect. News about the loss of the Mona Lisa was circulated in all newspapers. After some time, several superb substitutes appeared on the market. Two years later, Perugia, who stole the Mona Lisa on behalf of the chief organiser of the crime, sold the authentic and was caught. He was severely punished but the organiser was still at liberty.
《蒙娜·丽莎》是由莱奥纳多·达·芬奇所画,他是文艺复兴时期的一位有才华的、有技巧的画家。他被认为是历史上最伟大的画家之一。他对艺术以及其他事情有着极大的激情,而且从未厌倦过。他年轻时从事绘画并以此作为职业。
关于《蒙娜·丽莎》也有很多趣闻。一天晚上,一个负有债务的盗贼把画偷走了,但留下了古董框架和玻璃。这个盗贼引起了公众的愤怒。警察用一种秘密的方式寻找它,同时呼吁目击者出来抓住嫌疑犯。有关《蒙娜·丽莎》丢失的消息在所有报纸上流传。一段时间以后,有几幅极好的替代品在市场上出现了。两年以后,这起偷了《蒙娜·丽莎》的犯罪组织的主犯佩鲁贾在卖真品时被抓住了。他受到了严厉的惩罚,而那个组织者却依旧是自由的。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
The medieval (中世纪的) artists didn't know about perspective; they didn't want to make their people look like real individual people in a real individual scene.They wanted to show the truth, the eternal (永恒的) quality of their religious stories.So these artists didn't need to know about perspective.
In the European Renaissance period, artists wanted to show the importance of the individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings.A flat medieval style couldn't show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique.It was the Italian artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective drawing.At first the artists of the Renaissance only had a single?point perspective.Later they realized that they could have two?point perspective and still later multi?point perspective.
With two?point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an angle to the picture and draw two sides of it.The technique of perspective which seems so natural to us now is an invented technique, a part of the “grammar of painting”. Like all bits of grammar there are exceptions about perspective.For example, only vertical and horizontal surfaces seem to meet on eye level.Sloping roof tops don't meet on eye level.
For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their pictures.Nevertheless, there are a range of priorities (优先顺序) that artists in displaying individual styles.Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple single?point perspective.Cezanne always talked about space and volume.Van Gogh, like some of the other painters of the Impressionist period, was interested in Japanese prints.And Japanese artists until this century were always very strong designers of “flat” pictures.Picasso certainly made pictures which have volume and depth.However, he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to remind us that his paintings are paintings and not illusions (幻觉).
It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth.However, a strong two?dimensional design is just as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more important.
1.The passage mainly discusses________.
A.the difference between medieval and Renaissance art
B.how the technique of perspective influenced the modern art
C.the discovery of the technique of perspective
D.the contributions of Renaissance artists
解析:选B 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍文艺复兴时期出现的透视绘画技巧及其对现代艺术的影响。
2.According to the passage, which may be the main concern for medieval artists?
A.The individual person and his/her possessions and surroundings.
B.Real people, real scenes.
C.Eternal timeless truth of the earth.
D.Themes of religious stories.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知中世纪的艺术家们主要从事与宗教故事有关的绘画。
3.What's the author's purpose of giving the example in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain how perspective work in painting.
B.To support two?point perspective.
C.To show that there are exceptions about perspective.
D.To point out that the technique of perspective is an invented technique.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知透视法有例外之处,后面的例子就是为了说明这些例外之处。因此选C项。
4.It can be inferred from the passage that Renaissance artists________.
A.welcomed the medieval style of eternal truth
B.needed to develop a new approach towards painting to show a new level of reality
C.were inspired by vertical and horizontal surfaces in inventing the technique of perspective
D.saw two?dimensional design more important than a feeling of depth
解析:选B 推理判断题。读完全文可知,文艺复兴时期的艺术家们为了展示现实发明了透视法。因此本题选B项。

So far China has taken steps __10__ (further) this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.
1.especially 尤其是中国功夫,对于那些通过功夫初次了解中国的成千上万的人来讲,有着非常大的影响。especially“尤其是”,用于强调突出的人或者事情。
2.on have a ... effect on sb.“对某人有……影响”为固定搭配,故填on。
3.aspects 他们可能会来到中国,学习了解中国文化的一些其他方面。根据空前的“some other”及aspect作“方面,层面”讲的是可数名词可知,此处应用aspect的复数形式aspects。
4.greatness 其他亚洲国家很早以前就知道古代中国文化的博大。根据空格前的“the”及空格后的“of”可知,此处应填名词greatness。
5.a 这些国家自身的文化是本土文化和中国特色(文化)的混合。mix在此作名词,意为“混合,结合”,是可数名词,且此处表示泛指,故用a。
6.is challenged 根据本文的基本时态为一般现在时可知,此处亦用一般现在时;it在此指代上文中的“Confucianism”,和challenge之间为被动关系,应用被动语态。故填is challenged。
7.given 这种力量来自“四书”中所提供的观念。the ideas与give之间为逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。
8.more “四书”是依照“五经”的编纂中所体现的更为早期的思想而著成的。根据句意及空格前的“even”可知,此处应用比较级形式,故填more。
9.what 分析句子结构可知,空格处在此引导宾语从句,作learns的宾语,空格处在句中作主语,且此处表示“所……的事物”,故用what。
10.to further 目前,中国已经采取措施进一步推广中国文化。分析句子结构可知,空格处在句中作目的状语,故应用不定式形式。further在此用作动词,意为“促进,增进”。
Ⅱ.短文改错
My mom and dad often gave me surprises. Last night, they were surprised me again. After I came back, I saw somebody at home, but I found a note on the table, what led to the second, then the third, and then the fourth ... And it became more and more difficulty to find the following notes although the hints on the notes became harder to figure out. However, I loved the game. At the end, I found the gift that my parent prepared for me. It was the photo album, in which I saw many photos that my mom and dad taken of me.

Above 3,000 people swam across a river in Guangdong Province in a move to make people more aware of environmental protection for the major waterway in south China.
The swimmers including teenagers and elders in their 60s, crossed the 450?meter?wide section of the Pearl River in Guangzhou.
The local authority organized the swimming activity to show the pollution treatment achievement on the country's third longest river, and make people more aware of environmental protection.
A 62?year?old swimmer said the water quality had been improved in recent years and now could match the cleanness when he swam in the river in his childhood.
A mass crossing of the river was once held in the 1970s, but for many years since then, it had been impossible for a large group of people to swim across it because of heavy industrial pollution.
Guangdong government has spent tens of millions of dollars controlling the pollution by shutting down or moving heavily polluting factories.

I took a trip to Antarctica last year.
First I flew from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to the city of Rio Gallegos in a military (军事的) plane. Then the plane took me and the others to Marambio base, in Antarctica from Rio Gallegos. During the four?hour trip in the_Hercules,_I was impressed by the ice around us.
As I set foot in Antarctica for the first time in my life, a rush of glory ran through me. The scientists on board told me about the ozone layer (臭氧层) and the British explorer Ernest Shackelton, the second man to set foot in Antarctica. I will never forget what I was told about the ozone layer. I was told it was getting thinner and thinner because of pollution and emission gases, which eventually would change the weather balance in the whole planet. I couldn't help feeling worried about the future of humans after I heard that.
In Esperanza base there are elementary schools for kids. In Jubany base I saw igloos (拱形圆顶小屋) and it was interesting to learn that only scientists lived there. I was allowed to get near the Antarctic animals. The penguins are my favorite because they are cute and I like the way they stick out their heads in curiosity, the way they walk and how they survive in harsh temperatures. I also saw elephant seals, which from the distance looked like rocks. I was also amazed at watching the amazing humpback whales (座头鲸) for the first time in my life.
After my nine?day trip, I boarded the Hercules to get back. I felt as if I had been on this trip forever because I had lost track of time and space. I also realized that this had been a magical trip.

“America is a nation of nations, made up of people from every land, of every race and practicing every faith. Our diversity is not a source of weakness; it is a source of strength; it is a source of our success,” said Colin Powell, the first black U.S. Secretary of State.
The people of the United States represent a display of ethnic (种族的), cultural and religious backgrounds, partly due to the successive waves of immigrants from around the world. And they have made great contributions to the diverse culture of the United States, which is the reason why the United States is often referred to as a “melting pot”. The United States has welcomed more immigrants than any other country — more than 50 million in all, and today welcomes almost 700,000 persons a year. Americans have necessarily placed great value on diversity; ethnic groups have renewed and celebrated their heritages (传统); the children of immigrants often grow up learning the languages, traditions and cultures of both their American and foreign heritages.
The diversity develops actively in areas such as faith, holiday, food and sports in America along with the increasing of immigrants, and further enriches our society and culture. But before this diversity of cultures found a home, the question certainly might have been asked, “Can a nation made up of such various backgrounds even hope to succeed?” As the American example shows, the answer is a completely “yes”.
The American experience owes its success to many factors (因素). Among them is, of course, the vision of the nation's founding fathers in establishing a government of, by and for the people. They provided a constitution (宪法) that guaranteed certain freedoms like freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
America's founders established a society that would hug diversity and celebrate the differences that various cultures would bring to the United States. However, as different as the many cultures, religions and ethnic backgrounds are, there are values that all share, such as education, family and charity. And those shared values which have contributed so much to the strength within America, also inform our efforts in reaching out and finding common ground with cultures from other shores.
语篇解读:随着越来越多的人移民美国,美国的多样性也在不断丰富,并因此被称为“大熔炉”。
29.What's the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A.To show us the saying is very famous.
B.To explain the importance of the diversity.
C.To introduce the topic of the diversity in the US.
D.To describe how the diversity in the US shapes.
解析:选C 写作意图题。本文第一段引用美国第一位黑人国务卿科林·鲍威尔的话引出“美国的多样性”这个话题。
30.According to the passage, children of a Chinese?American family in the US may speak ________.
A.only Chinese
B.only English
C.both Chinese and English
D.only French
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“the children of immigrants often grow up learning the languages, traditions and cultures of both their American and foreign heritages”可推断出美籍华人的子女既会说中文也会说英语。
31.What might be America's founders' attitude towards cultural differences in the US?
A.Supportive. B.Negative.
C.Disappointed. D.Unknown.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“America's founders established a society that would hug diversity and celebrate the differences that various cultures would bring to the United States.”可推断出美国的建立者们对美国的文化差异持支持态度。

When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?
The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend's opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is restricted to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child's life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.
The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school?going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.
Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.
When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compared with my kid. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the conventional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.
语篇解读:作者朋友的孩子在家接受教育。虽然这种教育方式有很多好处,但是作者仍然不会考虑让自己的孩子也接受这种教育,因为作者认为传统的教育方式比较安全。
32.The author's purpose in writing the passage is to ________.
A.express his views on homeschooling
B.explain what homeschooling is
C.share his ways of teaching his children
D.promote homeschooling
解析:选A 写作意图题。文章由朋友提出让孩子在家接受教育这一想法展开,随后论述了孩子在家接受教育的利弊。由此可推知,作者写本文的目的是发表对这种教育方式的看法。
33.What is the author's attitude towards his friend's idea of homeschooling?
A.Surprised. B.Interested.
C.Confident. D.Negative.
解析:选D 观点态度题。虽然第三、四段都介绍了孩子在家接受教育的好处,但最后一段最后一句中作者点出不会考虑让自己的孩子接受这种教育,作者还是认为传统的教育比较可靠。由此可推知,作者对孩子在家接受教育的方式持否定态度。
34.What is the biggest advantage of homeschooled children?
A.They will become braver.
B.They can be more popular.
C.They can be better at socializing.
D.They will know how to arrange time.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句及第四段第一句可知,在家接受教育的孩子有更多时间来进行社交活动,他们会更善于社交,所以C项正确。
35.How does the passage mainly develop?
A.By following the order of importance.
B.By following the order of time.
C.By making comparisons.
D.By presenting facts.
解析:选C 写作手法题。第一段提出让孩子在家接受教育这一话题,接下来通过比较两种不同的教育方式(传统教育方式和在家教育方式)来进一步论述了孩子在家接受教育的利弊。因此,本文是通过进行对比的方式展开论述的。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
It is a tiny portrait of one of the most powerful women of the Renaissance.And for more than 50 years the old BBC journalist Charles Wheeler kept the picture of Eleonora of Toledo on his bookshelf.
But yesterday Wheeler returned the painting to Berlin's Gem?ldegalerie after discovering that it was a priceless original looted (掠夺) from the museum during the Second World War, not a copy as he had thought.
Wheeler, 83, acquired the 16th?century portrait by the Florentine artist Alessandro Allori from a German farmer who dropped in to the BBC's West Berlin office.“It was 1952.At the time people could move freely between East and West,” he said yesterday.“We were doing a programme called Letters Without Signature, where people living in the eastern zone could write a letter.The farmer reached into his pocket, took out a brown envelope and said it was a wedding present for me.” The farmer claimed he had got it from a Russian soldier in exchange for two sacks of potatoes to make vodka.Over the next 50?plus years Wheeler, one of the BBC's most distinguished foreign journalists, took the miniature (小画像) with him.“I was burgled four times over the years,” he said.“People were always taking my TV and radio.But they ignored the painting.”
It was only last year while making a BBC radio series on missing art that Wheeler realised the painting could have been stolen.After contacting the London?based Commission for Looted Art in Europe the work was swiftly identified as a minor masterpiece and returned yesterday to Berlin's picture gallery, where it was last seen in 1939.
Yesterday Anne Webber, co?chair of the commission, hailed (赞扬) the work as one of the “earliest diplomatic portraits of a woman”. “It's a charming painting,” she said.The miniature depicts (描绘) Eleonora of Toledo,whose husband Cosimo de Medici was one of Renaissance Italy's most powerful men.
语篇解读:一位记者得到一幅意大利文艺复兴时期一位妇女的画像,但他以为是复制品,因此并没有在意。在保存了50多年以后,他最后得知画像是柏林艺术馆在二战中被盗的真品,于是他把这幅画归还给了该艺术馆。
1.Charles Wheeler kept the miniature on his bookshelf because________.
A.he thought it was of little value
B.he thought it would be safer there
C.he liked the picture very much
D.he wanted it to be seen by others
解析:选A 细节理解题。从第二段的“not a copy as he had thought”可知,这位BBC记者本来以为这是一件复制品,并没有重视。
2.The miniature was probably taken from the Berlin's picture gallery by________.
A.a burglar B.a German farmer
C.a Russian soldier D.a worker at the gallery
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第三段可知,这幅画是一个德国农民从一个俄国士兵手中用两袋土豆换来的。由此可以推断,该画很可能在战乱中落入一个俄国士兵手中。
3.In what way is the miniature considered to be priceless?
A.It survived the Second World War.
B.It depicts a powerful woman of the Renaissance.
C.It is a masterpiece by a famous artist in Germany.
D.It was painted more than 50 years ago.
解析:选B 推理判断题。从第一段和最后一段可知,这是一幅意大利文艺复兴时期一位重要妇女的画像,它具有重大意义。
4.From the passage we can learn________.
A.the painting was drawn by a woman of the Renaissance
B.Allori gave the journalist the painting as a wedding present
C.Charles Wheeler has kept the painting for over 50 years
D.Eleonora of Toledo was one of the most powerful men in Italy

1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9.________ 10.________
语篇解读:作者在科西嘉岛旅行的最后一天感受到了当地人的热情,为这次旅行画上了一个圆满的句号。
1.to catch 这里用带to的动词不定式作状语表示目的。
2.heard and前后句子的时态一致,根据前面的“I saw an old woman” 可知此空需填hear的过去式 heard。
3.loudly 此空所填的词修饰前面的动词repeated,副词修饰动词,因此应该填loud的副词形式loudly。
4.for for a while意为“一会儿”。
5.eating and连接三个并列的动词短语作spent的宾语补足语。spend time (in) doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”。
6.but 此空前面的rude和空格后的friendly词义相反,所以此空需填but表转折。
7.customers 根据前面的“These men”可知主语为复数,所以此空需填customers。
8.a a member of 意为“……的一员”。
9.which which在这里引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面的a bottle of wine。
10.wonderful 根据文章大意可知这是一次美好且难忘的经历。

课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, Italy on March 6,1475.He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up. His mother died when he was only six years old. Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo's life. Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.
At the age of thirteen, he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was not only a painter but also an artist. Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico. Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time. During the next few years, Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps, Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.
In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome. A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pieta. It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.
Michelangelo's fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin. Many people didn't think he could do much with it. He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished. David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture. Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.
语篇解读:米开朗基罗·博那罗蒂是意大利文艺复兴时期著名的艺术家,本文向我们介绍了一些他的生平事迹。
1.What can we learn about Michelangelo as a young child?
A.He lived a very hard life.
B.He showed great interest in art.
C.He wanted to go to Florence very much.
D.He didn't have much time to learn painting.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.”可推断,米开朗基罗小时候就对艺术很感兴趣。
2.Michelangelo was sent to work under the sculptor Bertoldo di Geovanni most probably because________.
A.Michelangelo had lost his interest in painting
B.Domenico didn't think Michelangelo had a gift for painting
C.Bertoldo di Geovanni offered to show Michelangelo sculptures
D.Domenico wanted Michelangelo to make better use of his gift there
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked ... the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni.”可推断,多梅尼科是为了米开朗基罗能更好地利用自己的天赋才把他送到Bertoldo di Geovanni 那里去工作的。
3.What sculpture by Michelangelo will you see in St.Peter's Basilica?
A.Bacchus.
B.The Pieta.
C.Madonna of the Steps.
D.Battle of the Centaurs.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pieta. It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.”可知,B项符合题意。
4.When Michelangelo began his work on creating a large statue of David, many people________.
A.couldn't wait to make fun of his work
B.thought he would finish it within months
C.knew it would be his most famous work of art
D.didn't think he would make good use of it
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Many people didn't think he could do much with it.”可知,一开始很多人认为那块大理石不适合雕刻那个作品。
B
Leonardo da Vinci, the son of a local lawyer, was born on 15 April 1452 near the Tuscan town of Vinci. He was apprenticed (做学徒) to the sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence and in 1478 became an independent master. In about 1483, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling (统治的) Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect.
Leonardo was in Milan until the city was invaded by the French in 1499 and the Sforza family was forced to flee. He may have visited Venice before returning to Florence. During his time in Florence, he painted several portraits, but the only one that survives is the famous portrait — the Mona Lisa (1503-1506).
In 1506, Leonardo returned to Milan, staying there until 1513.This was followed by three years living in Rome. In 1517, at the invitation of the French King Francis Ⅰ, Leonardo moved to the Chateau of Cloux, near Amboise in France, where he died on 2 May, 1519.
The fame of Leonardo's surviving paintings means that he has been regarded primarily as an artist, but the thousands of surviving pages of his notebooks show the most brilliant mind. He wrote and drew on subjects including geology, anatomy (解剖学), which he studied in order to paint the human form more exactly. He “invented” the bicycle, airplane, helicopter, and parachute some 500 years ahead of their time.
If all these works had been published in an understandable form, Leonardo's place as a pioneering scientist would have been beyond debate. Yet his true genius was not as a scientist or an artist, but as a combination of the two: an artist?engineer. His painting was scientific, based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. His science was expressed through art, and his drawings and diagrams showed what he meant, and how he understood the world worked.
5.Leonardo's career reached its peak probably during his stay in ________.
A.Milan B.Venice
C.Florence D.Rome
解析:选C 推理判断题。从第二段最后一句可知,达·芬奇在佛罗伦萨期间创作了很多绘画,其中留下来的只有《蒙娜·丽莎》,由此推断,这个时期是他事业的巅峰。
6.Why did Leonardo study anatomy?
A.He wanted to be a doctor.
B.He had strong interest in it.
C.He wanted to invent other objects.
D.He wanted to paint the human form exactly.
解析:选D 细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知,达·芬奇研究解剖学的目的是为了更加精确地描绘人体。
7.What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A.Leonardo had a special way of painting.
B.Leonardo was both an artist and a scientist.
C.Leonardo was an artist instead of a scientist.
D.Leonardo was more of a scientist than an artist.
解析:选B 段落大意题。综合文章最后一段,本段主要强调达·芬奇是画家和科学家的融合,既是画家也是科学家。
C
In the later half of the 13th century, a new trend of fine arts appeared in the central part of Italy with Florence as its centre, representing the change from fine arts of Middle Ages to Renaissance art.
At that time, Florence school became the main stream of fine arts.The 14th century saw the birth of a great artist — Giotto.His art bore a striking tendency of Realism.For most people Giotto_is_the_first_name_in_European_painting_since_antiquity. That he had breathed fresh life into painting was recognised by people of the day, and later by Ghiberti and Vasari.
Before Giotto, painting was still considered a “mechanical” art.Giotto came to occupy a position of great respect in Florence.Though he was employed by the Bardi and Peruzzi families, owners of the most important European banking houses of the day, he never limited his activity to Florence, and prestigious (声望很高的) commission in other parts of Italy kept him on the move frequently.At a time when Italy's flourishing economy made every Italian city an independent cultural and artistic centre, Giotto went beyond regional barriers and the effect of his art was felt throughout the peninsula (半岛).
In his lifetime Giotto has raised painting to a prestigious level among the arts, to such a high level that it influenced sculpture.Italian painting can be said to have changed greatly with the appearance of Giotto than ever before.The motivation Giotto gave to the arts was so great that it determined the fate of European painting.By the middle of the fourteenth century Europe had already become aware of Giotto's new ideas, which agreed with the growing secular tendency in European society.
语篇解读:乔托——意大利杰出的画家,被认定是意大利文艺复兴时期的开创者,被誉为“欧洲绘画之父”。
8.Before the later half of the 13th century________.
A.fine arts of Middle Ages was the main stream
B.Renaissance art was the main stream
C.Florence school began to disappear
D.Giotto became a great artist
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,13世纪后半期,美术发生了很大的变化,从中世纪美术向文艺复兴美术转变。由此可判断出在13世纪前半期,中世纪美术为主流。故答案为A。
9.What does the author mean by saying “Giotto is the first name in European painting since antiquity” in Paragraph 2?
A.Giotto is the artist's first name.
B.Giotto is the man who started European painting.
C.Giotto is the most important painter in Europe since antiquity.
D.Giotto is the name of a most famous European painting.
解析:选C 句意理解题。从第二段看出,本段讲述这位艺术家的巨大成就,而题目中的这句话正好支持这段的主题。所以这句话就是为了表明他在绘画界的地位。
10.From the third paragraph we can learn________.
A.Giotto thought painting was a “mechanical” art
B.Giotto didn't get great respect in Florence
C.Giotto owned European banking houses
D.Giotto's art affected the whole Italy
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“...the effect of his art was felt throughout the peninsula (半岛)”可知,他的艺术作品影响了整个意大利半岛。
11.The main theme of the passage probably is________.
A.the Renaissance in Italy
B.Giotto, a great artist
C.Florence school
D.fine arts of Middle Ages
解析:选B 主旨大意题。纵览全文可以看出本文是一篇人物介绍的文章,所以主题应是B项“乔托——一位伟大的艺术家”。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Credit card debts, loans and overdrawn (透支) accounts — these are costly mistakes you don't want your children to make when they grow up. __1__ According to Mylene Lopa, a chief marketing officer of Sun Life Financial, you should teach your kids about money as early as possible. Start simple and expose them to the following basic concepts.
Spending
Giving your children some pocket money is a good way to teach them how to be responsible. “The money should just be enough to buy them a treat, like a juice or a biscuit. It's for practice more than anything,” Mylene says. __2__ Tell your kid he will get a reward if he saves some of that money.
Saving
__3__ They are always cute and colorful, making saving a fun and positive activity for kids. Encourage your children further by bringing them to the bank and showing them how to manage their savings themselves.“It makes them feel more grown?up and they love it,” says Mylene.
Earning
For children, earning usually comes in the form of gifts they receive for good grades or behavior. __4__ “Material rewards should be saved for even greater achievements,” Mylene advises, “like if they top the class or they really go beyond the call of duty to help.” This may let your children know making money is not so easy.
Along with these basic concepts, another way to teach kids about money is being a good example. __5__ It's hard to teach kids about saving if they see you splurging (挥霍) and borrowing all the time.
A.Be careful when giving them.
B.Buy your children moneyboxes.
C.Make it clear what items the money is for.
D.Set up a fund for your children when they get older.
E.Tell your children to pay a visit to the bank frequently.
F.Teaching your children about money will help them form good habits in life.
G.Avoid borrowing money from other people and use your credit card responsibly.
1.选F 该空前一句内容说的是花钱的一些坏习惯和一些错误的做法。空格后说你应该尽早教孩子一些有关钱的知识,可知此句承上启下,指教孩子了解钱有助于他们养成好的习惯。
2.选C 选项C中的“the money”指的是上文中的“pocket money”。给孩子零花钱,并告知他们这些钱的用途。
3.选B 根据下一句“They are always cute and colorful, making saving a fun and positive activity for kids.”可知此处指为孩子买存钱罐。
4.选A 上一句说孩子挣的钱大多来源于表现好的奖励,下一句又说物质奖励应该等到孩子有更大的成就时再给,可知此句应为句意的转折,意为给孩子奖励时要小心。
5.选G 根据上文“... another way to teach kids about money is being a good example.”可知此处举例说明怎样为孩子做好榜样。
