高中英语外研版选修八教师用书Module 2 The Renaissance

Module 2The Renaissance【美文阅读】达·芬奇16世纪创作的不朽名画《蒙娜丽莎》中的女子一直充满着神秘的色彩。

前不久，法国一位艺术家提出了新的见解。

现在让我们一起来看看是怎么回事吧！Mona Lisa，the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci's 16th century masterpiece，had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the painting，a French art expert said on Tuesday.The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special technology to peer(仔细看)through the paint layers on the work，which now sits in the Louvre museum in Paris.One of the researchers said that on very close examination of the painting it became clear that the Mona Lisa's dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil(薄纱)．“This type of dress...was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth.This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine，”he told a news conference.He also said that，contrary to popular belief，the subject had not let her hair hang freely but in fact wore a bonnet from which only a few curls managed to escape.“People always wrote that Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders.This greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue，”he said.The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo's painting technique，which the artist used to create a hazy(朦胧的)effect.But scientist John Taylor said the team had been frustrated by the lack of brush stroke detail on the painting.【诱思导学】1．When did Mona Lisa sit for the painting according to the passage?_________________________________________________________________ _______2．What was the popular belief about the painting Mona Lisa?_________________________________________________________________ _______【答案】 1.After she had just given birth to her second son. 2.Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders.Period ⅠPreviewing●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对下一堂课课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。
