人教版英语选修6课文原文及课文译文Unit 1 Art第一单元艺术ReadingA SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artistof this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they coule decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worke in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepeted as the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exsist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?西方绘画艺术简史西方艺术风格变化较大，而中国艺术风格变化较小。

人教版英语选修六第四单元课文翻译人教版英语选修六第四单元课文翻译（Translated edition English Elective six fourth unit text translation）Unit fourth global warmingGlobal warming is one. What's the effect?During twentieth Century, the earth's temperature rose by about 1 degrees fahrenheit. This value is probably not important to you and me, but compared to other natural changes, this is a rapid growth. So how does this increase in temperature happen? What's the effect? Sophie Armstrong, the organization for caring for the earth, is exploring these issues.There is no doubt that the earth is warming (see Table 1), and that the warming of the earth is caused by human activities, not an irregular natural phenomenon.All scientists agree with the idea that burning fossil fuels (such as coal, gas and oil) in order to produce energy raises the temperature of the earth. Some of the byproducts of this warming process are called greenhouse gases, the most important of which is carbon dioxide. Dr. Janice Foster explained: "There is a natural phenomenon scientists call the 'greenhouse effect'. This phenomenon occurs in the atmosphere, a small amount of gas (such as carbon dioxide, a, Anhui, water vapor, etc.) to absorb the heat of the sun, so that when the earth warming. Without this greenhouse effect, the earth would be about 33 degrees cooler than it is today. So we need these gases. The problem arises when we add a great deal of extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This means that more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise. "We know that carbon dioxide levels have increased dramatically over the past 100-150 years. A scientist named Charles Keeling once made accurate statistics on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the 1957-1997 years. He found that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose from 315/1000 000 to 370/1000 0000 over the years (see table two, slightly)All scientists accepted the data. They also agree that the increase in carbon dioxide is due to more and more burning of fossil fuels. "Then how high will the temperature rise?" Dr. Forster said, "in the next 100 years, the amount of global warming may be as low as 1-1.5 degrees Celsius, but it could be as high as 5 degrees Celsius."However, scientists are quite different in their attitudes towards warming. On the one hand, Dr Forster argues that the trend of warming 5 degrees could be a catastrophe. "We can't make accurate predictions about the future climate, but the weather may be bad at that time," she said. Other scientists agree with her view that global warming could cause sea levels to rise by several meters: others predicted severe storms, floods, droughts, famines, epidemics, and extinction of species. On the other hand, there are some people, like scientist George Hanbury, who oppose the above view. They don't think we need to worry about the high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. They predicted that the warming situation would not be too serious and the environmental impact would not be too bad. Hanbury actually said so:"The increase in carbon dioxide is actually a good thing. It makes plants grow faster, produce more crops and promote growth, all of which can improve human life.". "Greenhouse gasescontinue to collect in the atmosphere.". Even if we begin to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the climate will continue to get warmer in the next few decades or centuries. No one knows what impact global warming will have. Does that mean we don't have to take any measures? Or, do not take any risks too great?Using languageWhat can we do about global warming?Dear Earth Care Organization: I am doing a research project on global warming on behalf of our school. Sometimes I feel that individuals can't do much about such a huge environmental problem. However, I still believe that people should support the improvement of daily energy consumption.Because I'm not sure where I should begin to begin my research.I hope to get your advice.Thanks, Ouyang GuangDear Ouyang Guang:There are a lot of people who take on your obligations, and they don't believe they have the power to influence the environment. The idea is incorrect. Every man sticks his wood, and his flameis high. We don't have to put up with pollution.The growth of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide in the air is indeed derived from many of our daily activities. Here are some suggestions for reducing the carbon dioxide content in the air. These suggestions should contribute to your research.1. indoors, we use a lot of energy. You can leave it on when you use the appliance. Turn it off if you don't use it. Don't be careless about it. So, if you don't use the lights, the TV, thecomputer, turn them off. If you feel cold, put on more clothes rather than turn the heat on2. motor vehicles use a lot of energy. So, if possible, walk or ride a bike.3. recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers. It takesa lot of energy to do this with new materials, so buy the materials that are made of recycled materials whenever possible.4. advise your parents to buy energy saving products, including cars and small items such as refrigerators and microwave ovens.5. grow trees in your garden or campus. They can absorb carbon dioxide from the air and make you feel fresh when you watch them.6. finally, and most importantly, be an educator. Talk to your family and friends about global warming and tell them what you've learned.Remember, your contribution is valuable.。

目录第一单元： (2)第二单元： (3)第三单元： (6)第四单元： (8)第五单元： (9)西方艺术风格变化较大，而中国艺术风格变化较小。

人们的生活方式和信仰影响了艺术。

中国和欧洲不同，生活方式在长时间里相似。

西方艺术丰富多彩，仅凭一篇短短的课文难以描述全面。

所以，本篇课文仅描述了从公元5世纪开始的几种主要风格。

中世纪（公元5世纪到15世纪）在中世纪，画家的主要任务是表现宗教主题。

艺术家们并没有把兴趣放在呈现人和自然的真实面貌上，而是着力于体现对上帝的爱戴和敬重。

因此，这段时期的绘画充满着宗教的信条。

到13世纪时，情况已经开始发生变化，像乔托这样的画家以比较现实的风格来画宗教场景。

文艺复兴时期（15世纪到16世纪）在文艺复兴时期，新的思想和价值观取代了中世纪的那一套，人们开始更关心人而不是宗教。

画家们回到了罗马、希腊的艺术理论上。

他们尽力地画出人和自然的真实面貌。

富人们想为自己的宫殿和豪宅收藏艺术品，他们高价聘请著名艺术家来为自己画画，画自己的房屋和其他财物，画他们的活动，画他们的成就。

在这个阶段，最重要的发现之一是如何用透视法来画出事物的形象。

在1428年，马萨乔成为第一个在绘画中使用透视方法的人，当人们第一次看到他的画时，还以为是透过墙上的小孔，来观看真实的情景，并对此深信不疑。

如果没有透视法，人们就不可能画出如此逼真的画，在文艺复兴时期，油画也得到了发展，它使得色彩看上去更丰富，更深沉。

印象派时期（19世纪后期到20世纪初期）19世纪后期，欧洲发生了巨大的变化，从以农业为主的社会变成了以工业为主的社会。

许多人从农村迁入城市。

有着大量的新发明，还有许多社会变革。

这些变革也自然而然地导致了绘画风格上的变化。

那些打破传统画法的人有在巴黎生活和工作的印象派画家。

印象派画家是第一批室外写生的艺术家。

他们想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影画出来。

由于自然光的变化很快，所以，印象派画家必须很快地作画。

Reading 1THE EARTH IS BECOMING WARMER — BUT DOES IT MATTER During the 20th century the temperature of the earth rose about one degree Fahrenheit. That probably does not seem much to you or me, but it is a rapid increase when compared to other natural changes. So how has this come about and does it matter Earth Care's Sophie Armstrong explores these questions.There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer (see Graph 1) and that it is human activity that has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon.All scientists subscribe to the view that the increase in the earth's temperature is due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil to produce energy. Some byproducts of this process are called "greenhouse" gases, the most important one of which is carbon dioxide. Dr Janice Foster explains: "There is a natural phenomenon that scientists call the 'greenhouse effect'. This is when small amounts of gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour, trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth. Without the "greenhouse effect', the earth would be about thirty-three degrees Celsius cooler than it is. So, we need those gases. The problem begins when we add huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It means that more heat energy tends to be trapped in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go up." We know that the levels of carbon dioxide have increased greatly over the last 100 to 150 years. It was a scientist called Charles Keeling, who made accurate measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997. He found that between these years the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere went up from around 315 parts to around 370 parts per million (see Graph 2).All scientists accept this data. They also agree that it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that has resulted in this increase in carbon dioxide. So how high will the temperature increase go Dr Janice Foster says that over the next 100 years the amount of warming could be as low as 1 to 1,5 degrees Celsius, but it could be as high as 5 degrees.However, the attitude of scientists towards this rise is completely different. On the one hand, Dr Foster thinks that the trend which increases the temperature by 5 degrees would be a catastrophe. She says, "We can't predict the climate well enough to know what to expect, but it could be very serious." Others who agree with her think there may be a rise of several metres in the sea level, or predict severe storms, floods, droughts, famines, the spread of diseases and the disappearance of species. On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are opposed to this view, believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. They predict that any warming will be mild with few bad environmentalconsequences. In fact, Hambley states, "More carbon dioxide is actually a positive thing. It will make plants grow quicker; crops will produce more; it will encourage a greater range of animals —all of which will make life for human beings better." Greenhouse gases continue to build up in the atmosphere. Even if we start reducing the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the climate is going to keep on warming for decades or centuries. No one knows the effects of global warming. Does that mean we should do nothing Or, are the risks too great第四单元全球在变暖全球在变暖一一这会带来什么影响吗在20世纪期间,地球温度大约升了华氏1度。

另一方面，有些现代派的艺术作品太逼真了，看上去就像一张照片。

预言将来艺术的风格倒是很有意思的。

曼哈顿艺术画廊荟萃弗里克收藏馆位于第五大道和麦迪逊大道之间许多艺术爱好者都认为这个收藏馆是纽约最好的一家小型艺术陈列馆。

亨利克莱·弗里克是纽约的一位富豪。

他去世于1919年，他把他的家具、房子和艺术收藏品都捐献给了美国人民。

在这个陈列馆里，你不仅看到20世纪以前的西方绘画的珍藏品，而且，你还能浏览弗里克的美丽的故居。

在这个漂亮的公寓里，花园也是很值得一看的。

古根海姆博物馆第5大道和第88街交汇处这家博物馆拥有5，000幅现代油画、雕塑和素描。

这些艺术品并不是同时展出的，展品总是在不断地更换。

所收藏的艺术品中大部分是印象派和后印象派的作品。

古根海姆博物馆的大楼是世界闻名的。

当你走进画廊的时候，你会觉得你进入了一个巨大的白色贝壳之中。

看画展最好是从顶层看起，一直往下看到底层。

展厅里没有楼梯，只有一条环行的小道。

博物馆里还有一家极好的餐馆。

（纽约）大都会艺术博物馆第5大道与第82街交汇处这家博物馆是美国收藏艺术品最多的一家，它的艺术品收藏涵盖了5，000多年来世界上众多国家的文明史，其中包括美洲、欧洲、中国、埃及、非洲和南美洲。

这家博物馆展出的不仅仅只是艺术，它还给你介绍了古代的生活方式。

你可以看到埃及的寺庙，明朝的御花园，18世纪法国豪宅中的住房，以及许多其他特殊展品。

现代艺术博物馆第53街（位于第5和第6大道之间）令人惊奇的是，在同一博物馆里竟能容纳下19世纪后期到21世纪的如此众多的名家巨作。

西方艺术的收藏包括有莫奈、凡·高、毕加索和马蒂斯等著名艺术家的作品。

有几句话需要提醒你注意：博物馆票价不菲，常常拥挤。

惠特尼美国艺术博物馆麦迪逊大道945号（靠近第75街）惠特尼博物馆藏有极好的当代美国画和雕塑品。
