1.选修六Unit1 A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING西方绘画艺术简史Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. 艺术是受着人民生活习俗和信仰的影响的。

Styles in Western art have changed many times. 西方的艺术风格经历了多次变革。

As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. 由于西方的艺术风格多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。

Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.因此,本文只谈及从公元6世纪以来最主要的几种艺术风格。

The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD) 中世纪(公元5世纪到15世纪)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. 在中世纪,画家的主要任务是把宗教的主题表现出来。

A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. 一个传统的艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。

A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. 那个时期的典型的绘画充满了宗教的(象)特征,体现出了对上帝的爱戴与敬重。

Ⅳ.阅读理解The earliest known copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa—thought to have been painted at the same time as the original masterpiece—has been discovered at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The work offers art-lovers an attractive clue to what the model for the world’s most famous painting really looked like. Controllers of the museum found the picture hidden beneath layers of paints during restoration work on a picture initially thought to have been a later replica(exact copy) of the Mona Lisa.The restored version shows the same woman that Leonardo depicted (描画), against a landscape similar to what is shown in the background of the original, which now hangs in the Louvre in Paris. And while the features of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa have been dulled by centuries of dirt and layers of cracked paints—which are unlikely ever to be removed—in the recently-rediscovered copy, she appears fresher-faced and younger than her better-known “twin”.News of the find was revealed at a meeting at London’s National Gallery, linked to its Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan exhibition. “This sensational (轰动的) find will deepen our understanding of the world’s most famous picture,” the Art Newspaper reported, adding that the clues found on the Madrid version suggest that the original and the copy were begun at the same time and painted next to each other, as the work went on.Miguel Falomir, manager of Italian painting at the Prado, told reporters that experts’ analysis suggested a strong link between Leonardo and the artist who painted the copy. “The painting was done in the painter’s own workshop,” he said. “It is absolutely consistent with Leonardo’s work, but Leonardo didn’t actually do any work on it himself.”1. Which of the following is TRUE about the new version of the Mona Lisa?A. It was a restored version by Leonardo.B. It was painted much later than the original version.C. It is better preserved than the original one.D. It has been dulled by layers of cracked paints.2. We can learn from the third paragraph that .A. the new version of the Mona Lisa went on display at a meetingB. there would be two versions of the Mona Lisa at the exhibitionC. Leonardo was made to paint with another painter meanwhileD. the new finding affects the understanding of the original version3. What can we infer from the text?A. The artist painted the copy in his home.B. The artist who painted the copy must have been Leonardo’s student.C. The artist finished painting the copy under Leonardo’s guidance.D. The artist who painted the copy had close relation with Leonardo.4. What is the main idea of the text?A. The Prado Museum has discovered the earliest copy of the Mona Lisa.B. The Prado Museum restored the earliest copy of the Mona Lisa.C. The Prado Museum displayed the recently-rediscovered copy of the Mona Lisa in Spain.D. The Prado Museum offers art-lovers a better understanding of Leonardo.Ⅴ.阅读七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
