I encountered God in the summer when I was five. My father had finally grown too sick to get out of bed.so the heat and nervous tension in the air inside the house made it impossible to breathe. I would escape by squeezing under the front porch. All manner of creatures lived there，but I mostly ignored them，with the exception of a little frog who，every time I crawled（爬行）under the porch，stared at me with great，golden eyes.In late June，the frog finally hopped（跳跃）toward my arm and stared at me，demanding eye contact. Once he had my attention，he opened his wide mouth and said，"Hello，Sophie.”I should have been shocked but for some reason，I wasn’t. Perhaps at five years old，I was more receptive to something against the laws of nature. At any rate，I was not shocked that a frog could speak. I had a more pressing question.“How do you know my name？”The frog blinked slowly, “I know everything. I am God.”I spoke，"You can't be God. You're too small.”He extended a long，webbed finger and pointed to the edge of the porch's shadow-to the spot where my mother had tried to grow flowers for years. She had stopped trying when my father's condition worsened.“Look there,” commanded the frog, and I stared as a beautiful white flower blossomed as if stretching its limbs after a long sleep. In my five years, I had never seen anything so splendid.God and I became good friends that summer. I spent every day under the porch, talking to him Sometimes I asked God questions.Sometimes he answered Once. I asked him where Heaven was."Heaven," he said, "is where I live.”In August, my father’s illness continued worsening so that I was sent to my aunt’s house in Virginia. I told God I would be back soon, and then waited for my father to get better in Virginia.Paragraph 1:Six months later, I came back home for my father's funeral.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:Suddenly, an idea crossed my mind that my father might travel to Heaven._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________具体写作流程第一步：获取原文基本信息1.故事要素who→I，frog，my father，my motherwhen→in the summer when I was fivewhere→under the front porch of my homewhat→My father was seriously ill.

Even after more than a thousand years have passed, we can still feel the power within its ________(炽烈的双眼), bared teeth and ______(kick)hooves. Night-Shining White, now _____(keep) in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is regarded ____one of the most significant horse paintings in the history of Chinese art.

While ______(wait) at the gate, Han Gan used a stick to draw pictures in the dirt and was seen by the poet himself. Wang Wei decided to _______(资助) the young man to study painting and recommended him to a master. Due to Han Gan’s natural talent and years of hard work, he was eventually chosen to _______(service) Emperor Xuanzong in the royal palace.The Tang emperors were very fond ___ horses. This meant that the animal was a __________(常见主题) for artists. At that time, the most common way _____(study) horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters.

From bronze bowls to ceramic vases, and jade sculptures to ink wash paintings, our goal is to display the Chinese artistic genius from ancient times.The highlight of this exhibition is the painting Clearing After Snow on a Mountain Pass, one of the great works of Tang Yin (1470-1524). Born during the Ming Dynasty, Tang sought and failed to gain entry into the civil service, so he turned to painting instead. In time, he gained recognition as one of the greatest artists China has ever known. This painting, showing high mountains, trees, and houses covered in snow, was made with extraordinary skill. Though it is over 500 years old, it looks as fresh and full of life as the day it was created.Also of primary note is a collection of nearly 100 bronze objects from the Shang Dynasty (1600BCE-1046 BCE). While the artists who made these great works are not known, they showed great skill in creating these beautiful pieces. Some of the items on display are thought to have come from the collection of Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799), a great admirer of Shang Dynasty bronze.Finally, we have many fine examples of Tang Dynasty (618-907) sculptures. Most of these are of Buddhist origin. Even though Buddhism entered China much earlier, it did not really begin to show expansion until the seventh century. During this same period, trade along the Silk Road also boomed. Chinese sculpture thus found itself highly influenced by Buddhist art brought from India and Central Asia through the Silk Road. These works were intended to spread Buddhism and they are of exceptional beauty and quality. Looking at the faces of the figures in these sculptures, one sees the faces of the past. History is brought to life.This is just a small taste of what is in store for you in this exhibition. We guarantee that “From Shang to Qing: Chinese Art Through the Ages” will transport you to another time with its amazing collection of works.“From Shang to Qing: Chinese Art Through the Ages”will run until November25.Opening hours are from 9: 00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., from Tuesday to Sunday (the museum is closed on Mondays). No one will be admitted into the exhibition after 4:30 p.m.Admission: $10 for adults;$8 for students; $5 for children under 12; free for children under 5.No photos or food and drink are allowed in the museum.ART&TECHNOLOGYThink “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it Greek or Roman ________(sculpt) in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights?The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like __________ (七彩浮云)when they are ______(light) up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also ________(互动) it—literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art?Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. This means that art and technology have always been seen _____ two very separate things.Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. Take for example one of China’s most famous paintings from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. Three-dimensional (3D) animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides. The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos.However, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality. Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called “art”?Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist”? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result, printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artist’s death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art.Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.What inspires you?Every artist’s wish is to create something that expresses an idea. But where do artists get their ideas from? Who or what inspires them? Here we find out more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists.Florentijn Hofman, visual artistFlorentijn Hofman is a Dutch artist, whose large sculptures are on display all over the world. One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children’s toys. These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures, such as the famous Rubber Duck. A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish, which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone.Hofman’s inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales passed down through the generations. He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”. This story came to life for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there.“During the walk and my stay here in the town, I saw the fish being fed by people. You see also some fish sculpted on the wall.” These sights set Hofman’s idea for Floating Fish in motion. Tan Dun, composer“There is no territory in the world of music.” These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun. He is most widely known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.To listen to Tan’s music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences. Since his first opera, Nine Songs, Tan Dun has been using a combination of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories. As Tan once said, Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world.Yang Liping, dancerYang Liping’s passion is dancing. After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance, she has been known as the “Peacock Princess”. The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time she spent in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province.“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna,” says Yang. “It gave me a chance to go deeper into the lives of various ethnic groups... Our ethnic groups, especially the Dai people, admire the peacock. They think the peacock represents the beauty of nature. I especially like the dance style of the Dai people and it gives me lots of inspiration. My dance comes from their traditional belief and aims to bring out the Dai women’s beauty.”。

Show pictures to students, and introduce something about the Bible.The Bible is often described as "the greatest book ever written." This is because of its unending significance and influence on people throughout the ages. No other book in history has impacted peoples and cultures like the Bible.Many basic concepts and principles of Western culture have come down from the Bible. Many common English phrases and expressions have their origin in the Bible well.Even though it was written more than 2,000 years ago, the Bible continues to influence people today.2. Enjoy a story in it.The Obstacle In Our PathIn ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

(Lines 1-2) An idiom is a group of words or an expression whose meaning often cannot be understood by looking at the meanings of the separate words in it.1) Separate here is used as an adjective with the meaning ‘each or individual (word in the group of words or the expression)’ or ‘ not together’.e.g.●The twins share one room, but they sleep in separate beds.●Germany is one nation, but it used to be two separate countries for more than 30 years after World War Ⅱ.2) Separate can also be used as a verb, which means ‘to become apart’or ‘to be not together’.e.g.●It is extremely hard to separate two fighting oxen.●The mountain range separates the two countries.Have a try:●As we joined the big crowd I got _____ from my friends.A. separatedB. sparedC. lostD. missed●Students should always remember theory and should not at all be _____ from practice.A.dividedB. stoppedC. separatedD. operated2.

WhenB. IfC. UnlessD. Since3. (Lines 33-35) F or instance, children are often referred to as the ‘apple of their parents’ eye’, meaning that their parents love them very much and are very proud of them.1) The preposition as is something used with the phrase refer to, which means ‘to call somebody as’.e.g. He is referred to as the naughtiest student in his class.2) Refer to◆‘Refer to sb/sth’ means to mention or speak about sb/sthe.g.I promised not to refer to the matter again.◆‘Refer to sb/sth’ means to describe or be connected to sb/sth.e.g.This paragraph refers to the events of last year.◆‘Refer to sb/sth’ means to look at sth or ask a person for information.You may refer to your note if you want.◆Have a try:The incident ____ took place last Monday.A. referredB. referringC. referred toD. referring toHomework:1.

Unit 4 Amazing art一、阅读理解A[2024重庆名校一测]In 1665， Johannes Vermeer put the last drop of paint onto a canvas and completed his masterpiece GirlwithaPearlEarring. But years later on an April day a cyclist named Janine Strong stopped her bike， paused her fitness app， and watched as the snaking line of her cycling route drew the shape of Vermeer’s masterpiece over the streets.Ms. Strong creates what has come to be known as "GPS art". It is an art category， which means you go outside with your handheld Global Positioning System （GPS） and start moving. The GPS records your movement by creating the dot type of track. This track is a line that details the path you’ve travelled. When you look at this line on the map， then you can see various shapes. Ms. Strong plans her rides in the shapes of stars， birds， lions — and the occasional Vermeer. Then to complete the digital vision of Vermeer’s masterpiece， she biked almost 50 miles around southern Brooklyn to make sure each turn and circle was accurately achieving the covering of Vermeer’s original.This kind of art form has grown with the widespread availability of satellite tracking for use by ordinary people in fitness apps. It is particularly popular in the app， Strava， and experienced a surge in use during the pandemic. According to a report， more than three billion activities have been uploaded to Strava since the beginning of 2024.The "GPS art" can be considered the 21st-century version of large-scale drawings on the landscape， a concept gradually known to the world. It even has its own Guinness World Records categories. There was once a couple who completed a 4，500-mile bike ride across Europe that resulted in a 600-mile-wide GPS drawing of a bicycle — the largest such drawing on record.本文介绍了GPS艺术的起源以及发展。
