课时跟踪练(一) Warming Up & Reading — Pre reading

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Have you ever listened to the sound of a raindrop? You might call the small sounds earth songs. Is it possible to catch earth songs, to put them into words?

Long ago, poets in Japan listened, watched, and did catch the beauty of the earth's songs. They did this with the tiniest poems in the world, called haiku. A haiku is a poem that is just three lines and seventeen syllables long. And the poets who wrote them watched and listened, not only with their eyes and ears, but also with their hearts!

In their haiku, the early Japanese poets caught the colors, sounds, and beauties of the seasons of the year. They sang of their islands' beauties. Their miniature poems were not meant to fully describe a scene or to explain it but rather were a flash impression.

The old poets are not the only writers of haiku. Today Japanese farmers, shopkeepers, grandparents, and students write it, and because of its strong appeal, haiku is written in many other countries throughout the world.

Interestingly enough, Japanese poetry has had a long and colorful history. In the prehaiku period in the early eighth century, Japanese poets wrote katauta, poems in a question-and-answer form, using two people. Each three-line verse (诗节) contained about seventeen syllables that could be delivered easily in one breath — just as one would naturally ask or answer a question. This has remained the basic pattern for traditional Japanese poetry throughout the centuries.

Another form that appeared was the tanka, which contained five lines and thirty-one syllables (5-7-5-7-7), written by either one or two persons. From that evolved (发展) the renga, which contained more than one verse, or link. Written by three or more people, it could have as many as 100 links! The first verse of the renga introduced a subject. It had three lines and was called the hokku, or starting verse. Renga parties became a great pleasure.

Around 1450, haikai no renga became popular. This style of linked verse contained puns (双关) and was humorous and amusing. The opening three lines were still called a hokku, and from haikai and hokku the term haiku evolved.

语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了日本三行俳句诗的历史。

1．What does the underlined word “miniature” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Easy.B．Little.

C．Detailed. D．Selected.

解析：选B词义猜测题。由第二段中的“the tiniest poems”和“A haiku is a poem that is just three lines and seventeen syllables long.”以及画线词下文中的“a flash impression”可知，haiku 是一种微型诗。

2．We know from the text that katauta ________.

A．was humorous and amusing

B．contained thirty-one syllables

C．could have as many as 100 links

D．was written in a question-and-answer form

解析：选D细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“Japanese poets wrote katauta, poems in a question-and-answer form”可知，katauta是一种问答形式的诗。

3．Information in this text would be of most value to readers who want to ________.

A．teach how to write haiku

B．research the history of haiku

C．compare Japanese and American poetry

D．find suggestions about hosting a renga party

解析：选B推理判断题。文章主要介绍了日本三行俳句诗的历史，故对想要研究俳句诗历史的读者有重要价值。

B

No p oem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”，until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, eventually, the most concrete “interpretation (解释)” of it, suggesting tone, rhymes, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.

I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem

aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it and

“exchanging of views”，if there isn't time for both. I think one

of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry

and take it easy when we are reading a poem. Poetry is “a

criticism of life”，and “a heightening (提升) of life”. It is “a most appropriate approach to the truth of feeling”，and it “can transform your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature (文学) more central than it presently occupies.

I am not saying that every English teacher must try out poetry-teaching. Those who don't like it should not be forced to convey that negative feeling to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make_room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

A．discuss it with others

B．analyze it by oneself

C．copy it down in a notebook

D．practise reading it aloud

解析：选D细节理解题。根据文章第一段的内容特别是第一句话“No poem should ever be discussed or ‘analyzed’，until it has been read aloud by someone, a teacher or a student.”可知答案选D。

5．According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students ________.

A．to understand life

B．to enjoy poetry

C．to become teachers

D．to become poets

解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句话“I think one of our ... students love poetry and take it easy when we are reading a poem.”可知选B。

6．What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?

A．More stress (强调) should be laid on the teaching of poetry.

B．Poetry is more important than any other literature genre.

C．One cannot enjoy life fully without a good understanding of poetry.

D．Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.

解析：选A句意理解题。第三段主要讲述了要欣赏诗歌以及诗歌对生活的重大影响，因此在教学中应当重视诗歌教学。

7．The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by “________”．

A．build a booth

B．provide equipment

C．leave a certain amount of time

D．set aside enough space

解析：选C词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句话“I have come to think ... ‘exchanging of views’，if there isn't time for both.”及最后一段中的“in the classroom for hearing poetry”可知选C。

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.

西方绘画艺术简史 艺术是受一个民族的风俗和信仰影响。西方艺术风格经历了多次变革。因为西方艺术多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。因此，本书只谈及从公元六世纪开始以来最重要的几种艺术风格。 中世纪(5到15世纪) 在中世纪时期,画家的主要目的是把宗教主题表现出来。这一时期传统的艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。这时的典型绘画充满了宗教的特征，体现出了对上帝的爱戴和敬重。但是，13世纪时绘画观念在改变是显而易见的，像乔托这样的画家开始以一种更现实的方式来画宗教场景。 文艺复兴时期（15世纪到16世纪） 在文艺复兴时期,新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观。人们开始较少关注宗教主题而采取一种更人性化的生活态度。同时画家们回到罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。他们力争如实画出人物和自然。富人们想拥有自己的艺术品，这样就可以装饰自己的高级宫殿和豪宅。他们出价聘请著名艺术家不仅让他们画他们的活动和成就，还要他们画自己的肖像、房子和所有物。 在此期间，最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法来画出事务。这一手法是1428年由马萨乔第一次使用的。当人们第一次看到他的画时，还以为是透过墙上的小洞来观看真实的场景，并对此深信不疑。如果没有发现透视法，就没有人能画出如此逼真的画。巧合的是，这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展，使得绘画的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉。没有新的颜料和新的手法，我们就不能看到很多使这一时期著名的杰作。 印象派(19世纪后期到20世纪初期) 19世纪后期，欧洲发生了巨大的变化，从以农业为主的社会转变成了以工业为主的社会。许多人从农村迁入到新城市。有许多新发明和社会变革。这些变革也自然地促成了新的绘画风格。在那些突破传统画法的画家中有生活和工作在法国巴黎的印象派画家。 印象派画家是第一批室外写景的画家。他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影呈现出来。然而由于自然光的变化很快，印象派画家们必须很快地作画，因此，他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了。起初，很多人不喜欢这种画法，甚至还怒不可遏。他们说这些画家作画时漫不经心，粗枝大叶，而他们的作品更是荒谬可笑。 现代艺术(20世纪到今天) 在印象派作品的创建初期，他们是存在着争议的，但是如今已经被人们接受而成为我们现在所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了。这是因为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境。如今，现代艺术风格有好几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那么这许多不同的风格也许就不可能存在。一方面，有些现代艺术是抽象的，也就是说，画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来，而是集中展现物体的某些品质特征，用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来。而另一方面，有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么真实，看上去就像是照片。这些风格如此不同。谁能预言将来会有什么样的绘画风格？

选修六Unit 2 A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS 简体英文诗 There are various reasons why people write poetry. 人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. 有些诗是为了叙事，或者说是描述某件事并给读者以强烈的印象。Others try to convey certain emotions. 而有些诗则是为了传达某种感情。Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. 诗人用许多不同风格的诗来表达自己的情感。In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms. 本文只谈了几种格式比较简单的诗。 Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes. 孩子们最早学习的英文诗是童谣。These rhymes like the one on the right (A) are still a common type of children's poetry. 像右边的这首童谣（A）至今仍然是常见的。The language is concrete but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. 童谣的语言具体但富有想象力，这使得小孩子们快乐，因为它们押韵，节奏感强，并较多重复。The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. 童谣不一定有什么意义，甚至有的看来自相矛盾，但是它们容易学，也容易背诵。By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language. 通过童谣中的文字游戏，孩子们学习了语言。 （A） Hush, little baby, don't say a word,小宝宝，别说话， Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird.爸爸给你买个小嘲鸟。 If that mockingbird won't sing,小嘲鸟，不会唱， Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.爸爸给你买个钻石戒。 If that diamond ring turns to brass,钻石戒，变成铜， Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass.爸爸给你买个小镜子。 If that looking-glass gets broke,小镜子，打破了， Papa's going to buy you a billy-goat.爸爸给你买个小山羊。 If that billy-goat runs away,小山羊，跑掉了。 Papa's going to buy you another today.爸爸今天再去给你买一只。 One of the simplest kinds of poems are those like B and C that list things.像（B）和（C）这样的列举事物的清单诗是诗歌中最简单的一种。List poems have a flexible line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem.清单诗可长可短，可以重复一些短语，较为灵活。形成固定句型和诗的节奏。Some rhyme (like B) while others do not (like C).有些清单诗有韵脚（如B）,但有一些没有（如C）。 （B） I saw a fish- pond all on fire我看到鱼塘在燃烧 I saw a fish-pond all on fire,我看到鱼塘在燃烧， I saw a house bow to a squire,我看到房子向地主哈腰， I saw a person twelve-feet high,我看到人高一丈八， I saw a cottage in the sky,我看到茅屋在天郊。 I saw a balloon made of lead,我看到气球用铅做， I saw a coffin drop down dead,我看到棺材把死人抛。 I saw two sparrows run a race,我看到两只麻雀在赛跑， I saw two horses making lace,我看到两匹马儿绣花包。 I saw a girl just like a cat,我看到姑娘像只猫，

This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exsist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object,
