语鹅市安置阳光实验学校Module 4 FineArts-Western,Chinese and Pop ArtsⅠ.完形填空词数 286 难度系数★★建议用时15′(2011·南昌模拟)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the __1__ side is as much interesting.

You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be __10__ up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left__11__.

It may happen that your life __14__ greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.In fact that is what __15__ is like: we are often __16__ with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only __17__ we get into another. The __18__ may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind. I __19__ remember a philosopher's remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual __20__ may not be a bad one.,语篇解读:剪报时遇到的一些问题引发了作者对生活的一些思索:有时一个随意的选择并不是坏的选择。

This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full-time or be at home all day, for instance, mothers of families. They do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted (接受)as students. This is why the university is called “open”. The university was started in order to help a known group-people who missed (失掉) having a university education (教育) when they were young.The first name for the Open University was “The University of the Air”. The idea was to teach “on the air”, in other words on radio and television. Most of the teaching is done like this. Radio and television have brought the classroom into people's homes. But this, on its own, is not enough for a university education. The Open University student also receives advice (指点) at one of 283 study, centres in the country. 36 weeks of the year he has to send written work to a “tutor” (指导教师), the person who guides (指导) his studies. He must also spend 3 weeks every summer as a full-time student. Tutors and students meet and study together as in other universities. At the end of the Open University's first year, the results were good. 3 out of every 4 students passed their examinations. If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in 4 or 5 years.A. Fill in the blanks with proper words:1. The Open University students must be at least ________years old.2. The students do not have to take any ________before they start their studies.3. Most of the courses are taught on ________and ________.4. The Open University student must spend 3 weeks every summer as ________.5. At the end of the first year, 3 out of every 4 students ________their examinations.B. True or False:1. The university is called “open” because its students are people studying at home all clay.2. The students at the Open University can be very young or very old.3. The known group in the passage referred to people who did not have the chance to go to university when they were young.4 Besides listening to lectures on radio and television, the students must. send written work to their tutors and accept their advice.5. The students are not given any examinations when they are attending the university.4.书面表达某中外合资企业在China Daily上登了一则广告,招聘秘书一名,基本条件如下:1.年龄不超过25岁,未婚。

Module 4 Fine Arts– Western, Chinese and Pop Arts英国画家劳里的工业英国画作British artist LS Lowry’s paintings of industrial,working-class Britain brought him popular fame in the UK. LSLowry, with his depictions of everyday northern life, is oneof Britain’s b est loved painters.英国画家LS 劳里的画作描述了工业时代下的、工人阶级的英国,因此在英国名声大噪。

他的画作描述了北方民众的日常生活,劳里因此也成为了英国最受追捧的画家之一。

But remarkably, for such an icon of modern British art, no solo exhibition of his work has ever been held outside the UK. Until now, a collection of Lowry paintings is being shown at an exhibition in Nanjing in eastern China.但值得注意的是,即使对于这样一个现代英国艺术的标志性人物,他的个人展出也仅限于英国国内。

但如今不是了。

在中国东部的城市南京,劳里的画展正在进行。

Lowry’s canvases depict a side of British life that’s now gone. The one above, Mill Scene, from 1965, is reminiscent of many of his paintings, with its smoke stacks and hurrying crowds of workers.劳里的画作里所描述的那些英国人的生活景象已经远去。

"Both these sayings mean the same thing: Men rule the world,but their wives rule them.most of the American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want something for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work, they want to be better paid, they want to be as successful as men.The American women’s liberation movement was started by the women who don’t want to stand behind successful men. They don’t want to be told that certain jobs of offices are closed to them. They refuse to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and confidence (信心) herself. If somebody says to her, "You’ve come a long way, baby. "She’ll smile and answer. "Not nearly as far as I’m going to go , baby."This movement is quite new, and many American women do not agree.

ACOME TO NEWYORK ANDSEE THE WORLD If you‘re looking for the place that has everything, there‘s only one place to visit,and that is New York. It‘s a whole world in a city.The World of Theatre: All of New York is a stage. And it begins with Broadway. Where else can you find so many hit shows in one place?

A Rockefeller Centre? Or a Bronx Zoo?36. Which of the following program can a visitor have only in New York?A. To enjoy roast Beijing duck.B. To taste the finest French coq au vin.C. To spend an evening with Beethoven.D. To see the Statue of Liberty.37. From the text we know that ―Rembrandt‖ is most likely the name of a famous ______.A. singerB. paintingC. playD. painter38. What the writer really wanted to do is to _____.A. try to persuade reader to pay a visit to New YorkB. give reader some information about New YorkC supply readers with some wonderful program in New YorkD. help readers to get a better understanding of New York.39. The passage above may be taken from ______.A. a guidebook for foreignersB. a handbook for English learnersC. a pocketbook for visiting businessmenD. a storybook for native readers.BThe small unframed painting called ―Fishman‖ was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession. Pitt said, ―I didn‘t know it was so valuable. I‘m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‗Fisherman‘ in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I could see the artist‘s signature. But anyway it wasn‘t the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame.―it‘s a most unusual frame, made of tiny, silver sea-shells(贝壳). They are set in such a way that they reflect (反射)perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I‘ll never part with it.―When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn‘t know its actualworth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value.I did so, there and then.―Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone‘s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one; so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.‖As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused (指控)of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.Pitt was not happy, ―I told the truth as I knew then,‖ he said. ―What else could I say?‖And then the judge agreed with him. ―The Customs Department is responsible (to blame),‖ he said, ―for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty(有罪).‖40. When Oliver Pitt bought the picture____A. it was unframedB. Maveleone signed the dealC. he suggested that it was valuableD. it was the frame the attracted him.41. Pitt met the customs officer ____where the officer was employed to ____.A. a t the railway station or airport: examine people‘s baggageB. at the airport or port; examine people‘s baggage.C. at the bus stop or port; help people enter the USA.D. at the airport or port; help people enter The USA.42. From the passage we can infer that if Maveleon had been a well-known artist____A. the painting would have cost much more than $ 140B. he wouldn‘t have sold his painting at such a low price.C. the customs officer would have valued the painting at $140 or less.D.

Pitt sold the frame of the painting at an even higher priceC. the Customs Department had no right to revalue the painting.D. Pitt‘s wife was r egarded as an expert because of her wise suggestionCThe modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese King and an Englishprincess.Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him-Jewish astronomers, Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who know how to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it.Henry‘s goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel (多桅小帆船) ,which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack (宽身帆船), which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo.The world woes credit to Prince Henry for the development of the craft that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.45.

Archaeological(考古学的) finds trace the tradition back to the 6th century; it is supposed that the beginnings of papercutting were even a few centuries earlier. Papercuttings are used for religious(宗教的) purposes, for decoration (装饰)and as patterns(图案).Today, papercuttings are mainly used as decoration. They ornament walls, windows, doors, columns mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes. They are also usedfor decoration on presents, and are given as presents themselves. They are of special importance at festivals. At the Spring Festival for example, entrances are decorated with papercuttings which are supposed to bring good luck.Parpercuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. There are two kinds of paper cuttings; scissor (剪刀) cuttings and knife cuttings. Scissor cuttings are fashioned with scissors. Several pieces of paper--- up to eight pieces---are fastened together. The motif(图形) is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors.Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers (层) of paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of tallow (动物脂) and ashes. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife which he usually holds vertically(垂直地. The advantage of knife cuttings is that considerably more papercuttings can be made in one operation than scissor cuttings.In the countryside, papercuttings are usually made only by women and girls. This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master and that were often used to judge brides(新娘). Professional papercutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who have guaranteed (保证) incomes and work together in workshops.53.
