课标话题 词 数 人与社会·绘画领域代表人物 299 体裁 难度 记叙文 Shao Ge was born to an ordinary family in Beijing in 1962. As a child, he spent much of his time in the Palace Museum, staring in wonder at the various ink masterpieces on the museum's massive walls. There was an elder man among Shao's neighbors, who was good at Chinese painting and calligraphy. In his spare time, the kind elder talked about traditional Chinese culture to young Shao. So Shao was attached to traditional Chinese paintings under the influence of his childhood experiences. Some years later, Shao decided to study painting in an art school.
Shao entered the Beijing Arts and Crafts School, where he studied painting for three years. After graduating in 1978, he worked for some time. Shao later passed an exam and became a painter for Rong Bao Zhai, a famous Chinese art gallery dating back to 1672, which allowed him to dive into a lifetime of ink paintings.
“At first, I just drew everything,” Shao said. “But I soon found that sticking to traditional thoughts and skills of Chinese paintings would limit my development as a professional painter, so I decided to develop my own style.”
In the late 1980s, experimentalism became popular among ink paintings and inspired Shao. “In 1995, I tried to draw experimental paintings. The initial works came out by chance.” Shao said. “On one occasion, I came back to Beijing by train. When the train approached the station, I saw the view outside the window change completely. Rubbish had started piling up along the tracks of the city. It was a shocking scene for me.”
In response to that, Shao started his work with environmentalism. Along with urbanization and industrialization, he found many new problems as materials. Shao hoped to remind the public of the crisis with his works.

课标话题 词 数 人与社会·艺术 249 体裁 难度 记叙文 A Leonardo da Vinci painting of Jesus Christ that recently sold for a record $450 million is heading to the Louvre Abu Dhabi. The newly opened museum made the announcement this week.
Last month, Christie's auction(拍卖) house in New York City sold the painting for the most money ever paid for a piece of art at auction. The auction house did not say who the buyer was; it does not comment on the identities of buyers or sellers without their permission.
The 500yearold painting is called “Salvator Mundi”, Latin for “Saviour of the World”. It is one of fewer than 20 da Vinci paintings known to exist.
The 66centimetretall painting dates to around 1500. It shows Jesus dressed in Renaissance-style clothing. His right hand is raised in blessing and his left hand is holding a crystal(水晶) ball.
The painting was in a private collection of King Charles Ⅰ of England. It disappeared from view until 1900, when a British collector bought it. At that time, it was thought to have been painted by a student of Leonardo rather than the master himself.
In 2005, a group of art dealers paid less than $10,000 for the artwork. It was badly damaged and partly painted over. They restored the work and proved that the painting was done by Leonardo da Vinci himself.
Before last month's recordbreaking sale, the highest known sale price for any artwork had been $300 million for Willem de Kooning's painting “Interchange”.
语篇导读 本文讲述了达·芬奇的名画《救世主》以4.5亿美元高价被拍卖的事。 4.What can we learn when the painting was sold at the high price? A.The people present were surprised. B.The painting was badly destroyed.
C.The buyer and the seller were not known to people. D.People all want to know the buyer's and the seller's names.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,买卖双方的名字都没有被公布,即大家都不知道买主和卖方是谁,故选C项。
5.How old is the painting “Saviour of the World”? A.500. C.1,500.
B.1,000. D.1,900.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,这幅画有500年的历史,故选A项。 6.What did people think of the painting many years ago? A.It was very valuable. B.It was very special. C.It was painted by Leonardo.
