My parents are fond of going to art galleries and often take me with them, so I've developed an interest in art. I must say, I love that picture of the six horses. They look so alive. It's by a Chinese artist, isn't it? I can tell by the style. I think the painting of the young girl is probably by Picasso. I really like him. I think he's an extraordinary artist.

Ⅰ.阅读理解Garden building is considered an important part of Chinese culture.Some people say that if you have never walked through a Chinese garden, you cannot say that you have really visited China.Traditional Chinese gardens are located in North China in such places as the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City. In larger imperial gardens, the main buildings are connected by an imaginary line in the middle on the north-south axis (轴). Other features of imperial gardens are coloured paintings, man-made hills and lakes.Most private gardens are found in the south, especially in cities south of the Yangtze River. Private gardens were mostly built at one side or at the back of houses. Around the beautiful scene are small open areas with beautiful shaped doors through which visitors can enjoy sights. They are open on all sides and are often near water so that the whole scene can be enjoyed. Suzhou，known as home to gardens, displays the most and the best Chinese traditional private gardens. Different parts of it are examples of the garden styles of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.The landscape gardens contain a number of pleasant natural scenes and some fairy tales. The ancient Chinese used to call the garden landscape “Jing”，which means “Scene” in English. Good examples include the ten West Lake scenes in Hangzhou, the twenty-four Slim West Lake scenes in Yangzhou and the eight Daming Lake scenes in Jinan.语篇大意：本文主要介绍了中国的园林建筑，风格各异，特色万千，都是中国园林文化中不可缺少的一部分。

高中英语外研版必修2Module 4 Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading
MonaLisa is a 16thcentury portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance (文艺复兴), which now is under the care of Louvre in Paris. It is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. But who was the heroine and what is the story behind the mysterious smile?Its identity remains uncertain.Some researchers say that she was the widowed (寡居的) Duchess of Milan. Others say it is possible that she was Mona Lisa Gherardini, the third wife of the wealthy silk merchant Francesco.The smile of Mona Lisa has kept people guessing. Someone says that the smile originated (起源，发端) from Leonardo da Vinci’s mother, Caterina. Others say the smile is quite simple because women were taught to smile so as to add an air of mystery and elegance at that time. The truth is that this style of smile was not invented by Leonardo da Vinci. It can be found in a number of sculptures (雕塑) from the 15th century.No one knows the truth behind this famous painting except Leonardo da Vinci himself, but people are so fond of it and would enjoy guessing.In fact, there are many fine art forms in western countries and Chin a as well. It’s thesefine arts and pop arts that make our life colourful. Now let’s step into this module to learn more about them.Section_ⅠIntroduction & Reading — Pre-reading[原文呈现][读文清障]AThis is a painting① by the Spanish artist②，Pablo Picasso, considered to be the greatest western artist of the twentieth century③.

E I’m studying art at school，and I enjoy it a lot， although I can get tired of looking at pictures all the time.I’m crazy about the paintings of Qi Baishi，and this delightful picture of the little shrimps is such a lovely example of his work.But I can’t stand that picture of a goldenhaired girl.I think it’s stupid.
B This painting by contemporary American artist Roy Lichtenstein (1923～1997) is a world famous example of pop art.Pop art(from the word “popular”) was an important modern art movement that aimed to show ordinary twentiethcentury city life.For example，it shows things such as soup cans and advertisements.
Mod painting by the Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, considered to be the greatest western artist of the twentieth century.Picasso and another painter, George Braque, started Cubism, one of the most important of all modern art movements. Cubist artists painted objects and people，with different aspects of the object or person showing at the same time.
波普艺术(此词源自“popular”)是一项重要的现代 艺术运动，其目标是反映20世纪普通的城市生活。 例如，它展示类似汤罐、广告等东西。 C
齐白石(1863～1957)是中国最伟大的画家之 一，他遵从中国传统的绘画风格。中国画以其黑 墨和自然色彩的毛笔画而闻名。齐白石仔细地观 察自然世界，他的画因此而与众不同。
D 徐悲鸿(1895～1953)是中国二十世纪最著名
的画家之一。像齐白石一样，徐用传统的中国风 格绘画。两人都有很美的毛笔线条。徐悲鸿相信 艺术家应该表现现实，而不只是模仿。相反的， 一幅画应该尽力表现其主题的“生命力”。徐悲鸿 以其栩栩如生的奔马画而著称。
E 我正在学校学绘画。我非常喜欢绘画，尽管
C Qi Baishi(1863～1957)，one of China’s greatest painters，followed the traditional Chinese style of painting.Chinese painting is known for its brush drawings in black inks and natural colours.Qi Baishi observed the world of nature very carefully， and his paintings are special because of this.
一直看一些画作会感到厌倦。我非常喜欢齐白石 的作品，这幅画有漂亮小虾的图画就是他作品中 的生动例子。但我受不了画有金发女郎的那幅画。 我认为那很蠢。
A 这是西班牙画家巴勃罗·毕加索的画作。他被
认为是二十世纪最伟大的西方艺术家。毕加索和 另外一名画家乔治·布拉克开创了立体派，立体派 是现代最重要的艺术运动之一。立体派画家所画 的内容为人与物，画面同时呈现人或物的不同方 面。
B 当代美国画家洛伊·利希滕斯坦(1923～1997)
的这幅作品是世界流行艺术的典型代表。
F My parents are fond of going to art galleries and often take me with them，so I’ve developed an interest in art.I must say，I love that picture of the six horses.They look so alive.It’s by a Chinese artist，isn’t it？I can tell by the style.I think the painting of the young girl is probably by Picasso.I really like him.I think he’s an extraordinary artist.
D Xu Beihong (1895～1953) was one of China’s bestknown twentiethcentury artists.Like Qi Baishi， Xu painted in the traditional Chinese style.Both painters have a beautiful brush line.Xu Beihong believed that artists should show reality，but not just imitate it.Instead，a picture should try to show the “life” of its subject.He is most famous for his lively paintings of horses.
