人教版高中英语选修6各单元课文原文
选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art 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 artist of 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 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 graduallv 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 t heir own paintings, so they could 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 roles 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 19th 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. Naturally, these 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 worked in Paris.

选修八Unit4 Pygmalion Period3 Grammar 一、教学内容分析 分词作状语是高考考查的热点和重要考点，其热点考查内容如下： 过去分词兼有动词?副词和形容词的特征。过去分词作状语时，表示被动的或已完成的动作，在句中可作时间?原因?条件?让步?方式?伴随状语等。掌握过去分词作状语可从以下几个方面考虑。 二、教学重、难点 1.过去分词作状语的构成； 2.过去分词的不规则变化的识记； 3.复习独立主格； 4.过分分词作状语与现在分词作状语的区别。 三、教学过程 Step1: lead in The teacher walked into the office, followed by a few students.(伴随或方式状语) Seen from a distance, the mountain looked like an elephant.(时间或条件状语) Step2:presentation 1. 过去分词作状语时与句子的主语的关系 1）过去分词作状语时，过去分词与主句中的主语形成逻辑上的被动关系，有时也表示动作已完成。例如：Seen in the dark night，lights on top of tall buildings look like stars in the sky. (seen表示被动，分词的动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生) Scolded by the teacher，the girl began to cry. 被老师责怪，女孩哭了起来。(scolded表示被动且动作已完成) 2）有些过去分词已经形成了系表结构，因此他们作状语时与主句的主语之间是逻辑上的主动关系，但仍然用过去分词形式。例如： Lost in thought，she nearly ran into a tree. 陷入沉思，她差点撞到树上。 (lost意为“迷失的”，与逻辑主语连接起来相当于Because she was lost…，作原因状语)与lost类似的过去分词还有disappointed，dressed，determined，devoted，tired，exhausted，prepared，seated，
