II. Background
The Subjects of Traditional Chinese Paintings
The most popular subjects of traditional Chinese paintings have been landscapes, human figures, animals, fishes, birds and flowers-the last two being frequently combined as “flower and bird painting”. Figure painting, which reached maturity during the Warring States period, flourished against a Confucian background, illustrating moralistic themes. From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the human figure occupied the dominant position in Chinese painting, as it did in pre-modern European art.
Landscape painting is called shanshui hua in Chinese. Shanshui means mountains and rivers, which stand for nature. Landscape painting is thus called because mountain and water occupy the most important place in a piece of landscape painting, while non-essential elements of landscape and people are either omitted or painted as embellishment. Nature is predominant, and human beings are only part of it. This concept of man’s relationship with nature was especially executed in the paintings of the Song Dynasty, which greatly influenced later landscape painters up to the present.

The small unframed painting called “Fishman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession. Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I could see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame.
“it’s a most unusual frame, made of tiny, silver sea-shells（贝壳）. They are set in such a way that they reflect （反射）perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.
“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then.
“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one; so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”
As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused （指控） of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
Pitt was not happy, “I told the truth as I knew then,” he said. “What else could I say?”
And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is responsible (to blame),” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty(有罪).”
40. When Oliver Pitt bought the picture____

B. Maveleone signed the deal
C. he suggested that it was valuable
D. it was the frame the attracted him.

A. at the railway station or airport: examine people’s baggage
B. at the airport or port; examine people’s baggage.
C. at the bus stop or port; help people enter the USA.
D. at the airport or port; help people enter The USA.
42. From the passage we can infer that if Maveleon had been a well-known artist____
A. the painting would have cost much more than $ 140
B. he wouldn’t have sold his painting at such a low price.
C. the customs officer would have valued the painting at $140 or less.

The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese King and an English princess.
Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him-Jewish astronomers, Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who know how to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it.
Henry’s goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel (多桅小帆船) ， which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack (宽身帆船), which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo.
The world woes credit to Prince Henry for the development of the craft that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.

A. helping mariners B. improving ship design and sailing methods

One of China’s most popular folkarts is papercutting（剪纸）. Archaeological(考古学的) finds trace the tradition back to the 6th century; it is supposed that the beginnings of papercutting were even a few centuries earlier. Papercuttings are used for religious(宗教的) purposes, for decoration (装饰)and as patterns(图案).
Today, papercuttings are mainly used as decoration. They ornament walls, windows, doors, columns mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes. They are also used for decoration on presents, and are given as presents themselves. They are of special importance at festivals. At the Spring Festival for example, entrances are decorated with papercuttings which are supposed to bring good luck.
Parpercuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. There are two kinds of paper cuttings; scissor (剪刀) cuttings and knife cuttings. Scissor cuttings are fashioned with scissors. Several pieces of paper--- up to eight pieces---are fastened together. The motif(图形) is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors.
Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers (层) of paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of tallow (动物脂) and ashes. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife which he usually holds vertically(垂直地. The advantage of knife cuttings is that considerably more papercuttings can be made in one operation than scissor cuttings.
In the countryside, papercuttings are usually made only by women and girls. This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master and that were often used to judge brides(新娘). Professional papercutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who have guaranteed (保证) incomes and work together in workshops.
53. Papercuttings can be used for ______________.
A. decoration B. decoration on presents C. presents D. all of the above
54 The underlined word ornament means ______________.
A. to be added to and make something beautiful B. to be used as
C. to be cut in D. to be made on
55. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. The ways of papercutting B. The reasons for papercutting
C. The purposes of papercutting D. Papercutting

II. Background
The Subjects of Traditional Chinese Paintings
The most popular subjects of traditional Chinese paintings have been landscapes, human figures, animals, fishes, birds and flowers-the last two being frequently combined as “flower and bird painting”. Figure painting, which reached maturity during the Warring States period, flourished against a Confucian background, illustrating moralistic themes. From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the human figure occupied the dominant position in Chinese painting, as it did in pre-modern European art.
Landscape painting is called shanshui hua in Chinese. Shanshui means mountains and rivers, which stand for nature. Landscape painting is thus called because mountain and water occupy the most important place in a piece of landscape painting, while non-essential elements of landscape and people are either omitted or painted as embellishment. Nature is predominant, and human beings are only part of it. This concept of man’s relationship with nature was especially executed in the paintings of the Song Dynasty, which greatly influenced later landscape painters up to the present.

1. This is a painting by the Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, considered to be the greatest western artist of the twentieth century.

语法：本单元的语法项目为不定式和动词的ing形式。不定式和动词的-ing形式都属于非谓语动词，都可以在句中作主语，表语，宾语，定语，宾补和状语。本单元将主要讨论一下它们在使用中的异同。
1.作主语时

(2). 表示具体的，特定情况下的或有待于完成的动作时，通常用动词不定式。
e.g.
To finish reading such a long novel will take me several days.
读完这么长的小说要花去我好几天时间。
(3) 当it 作形式主语，动词不定式和动名词通常可以互换。但当表语是necessary, important等形容词时，后面只接不定式，而当表语是no use, no good, a waste of time等词时，则用动词的-ing形式。

The small unframed painting called “Fishman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession. Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I could see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame.
“it’s a most unusual frame, made of tiny, silver sea-shells（贝壳）. They are set in such a way that they reflect （反射）perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.
“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then.
“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one; so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”
As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused （指控） of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
Pitt was not happy, “I told the truth as I knew then,” he said. “What else could I say?”
And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is responsible (to blame),” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty(有罪).”
40. When Oliver Pitt bought the picture____
A. it was unframed
B. Maveleone signed the deal
C. he suggested that it was valuable
D. it was the frame the attracted him.
41. Pitt met the customs officer ____where the officer was employed to ____.
A. at the railway station or airport: examine people’s baggage
B. at the airport or port; examine people’s baggage.
C. at the bus stop or port; help people enter the USA.
D. at the airport or port; help people enter The USA.
42. From the passage we can infer that if Maveleon had been a well-known artist____
A. the painting would have cost much more than $ 140
B. he wouldn’t have sold his painting at such a low price.
C. the customs officer would have valued the painting at $140 or less.
D. Pitt wouldn’t have had the intention to buy any of his paintings.
43. Pitt took off the frame in order to____
A. look for the artist’s signature
B. find the painting’s true value
C. use it for his wife’s photograph
D. clean the painting to put it up for sale
44. Which of the following statements is true to the story? In the end____
A. Pitt was asked to pay the correct amount of duty
B. Pitt sold the frame of the painting at an even higher price
C. the Customs Department had no right to revalue the painting.
D. Pitt’s wife was regarded as an expert because of her wise suggestion
C
The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese King and an English princess.
Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him-Jewish astronomers, Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who know how to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it.
Henry’s goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel (多桅小帆船) ， which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack (宽身帆船), which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo.
The world woes credit to Prince Henry for the development of the craft that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.

One of China’s most popular folkarts is papercutting（剪纸）. Archaeological(考古学的) finds trace the tradition back to the 6th century; it is supposed that the beginnings of papercutting were even a few centuries earlier. Papercuttings are used for religious(宗教的) purposes, for decoration (装饰)and as patterns(图案).
Today, papercuttings are mainly used as decoration. They ornament walls, windows, doors, columns mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes. They are also used for decoration on presents, and are given as presents themselves. They are of special importance at festivals. At the Spring Festival for example, entrances are decorated with papercuttings which are supposed to bring good luck.
Parpercuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. There are two kinds of paper cuttings; scissor (剪刀) cuttings and knife cuttings. Scissor cuttings are fashioned with scissors. Several pieces of paper--- up to eight pieces---are fastened together. The motif(图形) is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors.
Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers (层) of paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of tallow (动物脂) and ashes. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife which he usually holds vertically(垂直地. The advantage of knife cuttings is that considerably more papercuttings can be made in one operation than scissor cuttings.
In the countryside, papercuttings are usually made only by women and girls. This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master and that were often used to judge brides(新娘). Professional papercutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who have guaranteed (保证) incomes and work together in workshops.
53. Papercuttings can be used for ______________.
A. decoration B. decoration on presents C. presents D. all of the above
54 The underlined word ornament means ______________.
A. to be added to and make something beautiful B. to be used as
C. to be cut in D. to be made on
55. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. The ways of papercutting B. The reasons for papercutting
C. The purposes of papercutting D. Papercutting
