Unit 4 Amazing art
Behind a remarkable scholar one finds，not infrequently，a mediocre man，and behind a mediocre artist quite often a very remarkable man.
—Nietzsche
在一个卓越的学者身上我们常常看到平庸人的形象，一个平庸的艺术家常常是一个卓越的人物。
——尼采
Art is a higher type of knowledge than experience.
—Aristotle
艺术是比经验更高形态的知识。
——亚里士多德
Art may be called complete and perfect when it seems to be nature.
—Longinus
艺术接近自然时，就称得上是圆满完美的艺术了。
——龙基纳
Art is the right hand of nature.The latter has only given us being；the former has made us men.
—Schiller
艺术是自然的好助手。后者仅给我们生存，前者使我们做人。
——席勒
A poor artist wanted to enter an important painting competition.One day he took his paints and brushes to a local café to drink his coffee and get inspiration.The district where he lived was full of trees which formed a leafy avenue.As he looked around him，he noticed how the shadows of the trees were growing longer as time passed.He decided to paint them in the style of the Impressionists.Taking the brushes from his bag，he chose one suitable for painting and began.The painting was completed soon.It looked so real that one could almost smell the flowers that hung from the branches of the trees.Happily he wrote his name at the bottom of the painting and sent it to the competition committee.His painting was given high marks by the judges and he won the admiration of many people as a famous Impressionist painter.
Some people like modern art，while others say that is rubbish.But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in London isn't able to tell the difference.The woman，whose name isn't known，mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger as a bag of rubbish，and threw it out with other bags.Embarrassed officials at the museum had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched.However，to make sure of not happening again，they covered Mr.Metzger's work with a coloured cloth every evening.In this way the cleaners would realize they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish.In 2001，in another London gallery，a cleaner threw away a work by the well?known British artist Damien Hirst.It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles，coffee cups，and overflowing ashtrays，which was meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.However，cleaners don't always throw things away—sometimes they clean them！This was the case with a dirty bathtub which was on show in a gallery in Germany.Without asking what the bathtub was doing in the gallery，the cleaners simply washed it clean.

从卢浮宫现场直播
1．嗨，我是扎克！在巴黎向您问候！现在正在为您播送的是世界上最大的博物馆——卢浮宫！今天，我们将为您介绍一些卢浮宫最令人惊叹的珍宝。我们开始吧！
2．现在，在这些石阶的顶端……仔细看看那个东西吧！你能看到的那个巨大的雕塑是长着翅膀的胜利女神萨莫色雷斯，或者是胜利女神之翼！我真不知道怎么告诉你这有多神奇！看起来她好像刚从天上飞下来，站在一艘船上。她缺头少胳膊，但你可以想象得出她高举着双臂，在庆祝一场古代战争的胜利。就看看她的衣服是怎么被风折起来的！我真不敢相信她是石头做的。这位雕刻家的技艺简直令人难以置信。
3．好吧，我该走了。你可以看到这里有很多人。事实上，我正在被人推来推去。你肯定会喜欢接下来要讲的。这是唯一的蒙娜丽莎！这幅画比你想象的要小得多，而且有玻璃保护。但是从这里我可以看得很清楚，可以展现给你。当我看着她的眼睛，她似乎有自己的想法！一会儿她似乎在嘲笑我，但一会儿我又从她的微笑中感到一丝悲伤。我想这就是她每天吸引那么多游客的原因吧。
4．现在，是时候亲密接触历史上最伟大的艺术家之一——伦勃朗了！他在大约400年前画了这幅自画像。在他的一生中，他画了90多幅自画像！没有人真正知道原因。也许这就是他17世纪自拍的方式吧？还是说仅仅就是画自己比花钱请模特要便宜？
5．目前大约有3万5千件作品陈列在卢浮宫的300多个展室里，要看完所有的展品恐怕要花一辈子的时间！我要告辞了，希望你们有一天都能参观这个神奇的地方，亲自感受这些伟大的艺术作品的力量。虽然好几个世纪过去了，但是它们确实使我们感兴趣并有所触动，仿佛时间本身无关紧要。顺便说一下，如果你喜欢这次直播，请付费收看，看看我下次去哪儿吧！

1．(教材P38) Her head and arms are missing，but you can imagine her holding her arms up high，celebrating the result of an ancient battle.
[分析] 该句是一个but连接的并列句。前一分句是主系表结构；后一分句是主谓宾结构，后面的celebrating the result of an ancient battle是非谓语动词作伴随状语。

2．(教材P39) They really do reach out to us across the centuries as if time itself were nothing.

[译文] 虽然好几个世纪过去了，但是它们确实使我们感兴趣并有所触动，仿佛时间本身无关紧要。
3．(教材P39) By the way，if you have enjoyed this live broadcast，subscribe to find out where I am visiting next!

观点态度题
提分技巧：观点态度题虽然要求考生把握文段或作者的态度及倾向性，但实际的解题关键仍然在于对文段主旨的深刻理解与认识，解题思路与概括主旨题的解题思路是一脉相承的。需要注意以下两点：
1．根据文章体裁推断观点、态度。议论文的论点往往会直接或间接的表明作者的态度立场。
说明文中作者往往采取中立的态度，客观评价描述的主题或者现象。而记叙文中往往不直接提出观点，但常常有某种倾向性，读文时要细心捕捉表达或暗示情感态度的词或短语。迅速锁定文段重点，从而确定作者的观点。
2．文段会在行文中流露出作者的主观态度，可仔细体会文段的感彩。即便没有褒贬，至少会有客观的评价，这就基本可以认定为作者或文段支持的观点。不要掺杂自己的观点。要学会区分不同的观点，尤其要善于找出作者的观点。考生要注意文中出现的直接引语和间接引语，出现的观点一般是当事人的观点，而不是作者的观点。作者的观点一般用in my opinion/view，personally，I think，I hold等词语引出。
[典例] (2018·浙江卷·阅读理解C节选)
...
The problems of excessive (过度的) energy consumption，climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L．Friedman.He fears the worst，but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy (经济) is a chance to keep American strength.“The ability to design，build and export green technologies for producing clean water，clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”
30．What is Friedman's attitude towards America's future?
A．Ambiguous. B．Doubtful.
C．Hopeful. D．Tolerant.
C [根据选段第一段中的“hopes for the best”和第二段可知，Friedman虽然对未来担心，但抱有最好的希望，他认为绿色经济是使美国保持实力的一个机遇，由此可知Friedman对美国的未来是充满希望的，故选C。]
迅速找出文中表达作者观点的句子
Boom said at the Paris Air Show Tuesday that passengers could fly between London and New York aboard a supersonic (超音速的) commercial airplane in about 2.5 hours within the next six years.The company also aims to shuttle passengers from San Francisco to Tokyo in 5.5 hours，vs.the current 11?hour travel time.Flights from Los Angeles to Sydney would take just under 7 hours，compared with the current 15 hours.
“Airlines are eager to find something new and different to offer their passengers—and we're thrilled that major world airlines share our idea of a future of faster，more accessible supersonic travel，” Blake Scholl，Boom's founder，said at the show.Five airlines have already placed more than 70 orders for Boom's faster?than?sound passenger airliners，the company announced.
Some experts，however，are skeptical that Boom can make its idea a reality and offer a product that makes financial sense.The European aircraft Concorde，which ended its transatlantic supersonic flight in 2003，was never commercially workable，and with an airfare of $20，000，appealed to only a very narrow slice of travelers，said Robert Mann，an airline industry expert.Fuel economy，unproven technology，and regulations against supersonic commercial flight are key difficulties Boom faces，Mann said.
What is Mann's attitude toward supersonic commercial flight？( )
A．Favorable. B．Disappointed.
C．Doubtful. D．Ambiguous.
C [观点态度题。第三段中Mann举了以失败而告终的Concorde的例子，又列举了一些超音速飞机面临的问题，由此可推断，他对超音速飞行持怀疑态度，故选C项。]

On the table beside my TV，there is a small and beautiful hourglass.It is not as big as other works of art but very delicate.
It is made of glass with three parts: the two bottles connected with each other on both sides and the supporting black poles.In the middle is a very narrow tunnel，through which the sand in one bottle slowly flows to the other.The whole hourglass is not colourful，but only in black and white，but I think these two colours are enough.I think that only black and white colours are matched to give a wonderful feeling.
The passing sand tells us that time is also passing.We should cherish every minute and second，and not let the time pass in vain.We should study hard and be useful to the society.
