Unit3Theworldofcoloursandlight艺术思维是人类最原始的思维方式，也是儿童心理发展的第一个阶段。艺术教育实际上是遵循人的心理自然发展规律的一种健康的教育方式。家长们应该鼓励孩子去追求自己的艺术理想。WhyisArtImportantinEducation?Educationis，anotherareawherethepresenceofartsandcraftsismorethanwelcome.Ifchildrenrealizetheimportanceofartandcreativityfromayoungage，theycangrowuptobemoreconfident，morecreative，anddefinitelymoremature.Schoolsarethebreedinggroundsforfuturepaintersandmoviemakers，andtheseartsshouldbeencouragedwholesomelyinsuchanenvironment.Sadly，manyparentsdonotunderstandwhyartisimportantforchildren，andsubconsciouslyforcethemtofollowcareerpathsthatareorthodoxandconformistinnature.Thisisfairenoughinitsownway，becausetheworlddoesneedsomestandardbluecollarandwhitecollarjobstocontinueitsexistence;butthisisachoicethatchildrenshouldbeallowedtomakeforthemselves.Thedoorstocreativityandexpressionmustnotbeshutintheirfaces，evenifitcomesatacostofmakingmoremoney.Toputitmorescientifically，herearesomebenefitsofkids'artactivitiesthatgiveasuitableanswertothequestion“Whyisartimportantinschools？”Exposuretoart，musicanddrawingsatanearlyageimprovestheamountofbrainactivityinchildren.Itincreasesthespanofknowledgeinthemindsofchildren，thusmakingthemsharperandmoreeducated.Itbuildsupthelevelsofself­confidence，self­esteem，motivation，cooperationandcommunicationinchildren.Ithelpschildrenunderstandotherpeople'sopinionsandpointofviewaswell.Ithelpsthemsharpentheirproblemsolvingskills，decision­makingandgivesthemthepossibilityofreallyexploringtheirimaginations.[阅读障碍词]1．artsandcraftsn．工艺品2．wholesomelyadv.有益健康地3．subconsciouslyadv.潜意识地4．orthodoxadj.普遍赞同的5．conformistadj.墨守成规的[诱思导读]阅读文章，回答下面的问题1．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“breeding”inthefirstparagraphmean?______________________________________________________________________________“Breeding”heremeans“reproduced”inthepassage.2．Whatbenefitscanchildrengetfromexposuretoart，musicanddrawingsatanearlyage?Improvingtheamountofbrainactivity；increasingthespanofknowledgeinchildren'sminds，makingthemsharperandmoreeducated;buildingupthelevelsofselfconfidence，selfesteem，motivation，cooperationandcommunicationinchildren;helpingchildrenunderstandotherpeople'sopinionsandpointofview;sharpeningtheirproblemsolvingskills，decisionmakingandgivingthemthepossibilityofreallyexploringtheirimaginations.SectionⅠReading(Ⅰ)(Welcometotheunit&Reading)新生词汇初识Ⅰ.匹配下列单词的词性及汉语意思()1.abstractA．n.建筑；建筑学()2.architectureB．n.回报，报酬，奖励vt.奖励，给以报酬()3.rewardC．adj.锐角的；强烈的；灵敏的；(疾病)急性的；敏锐的()4.mediumD．adj.抽象的n．摘要，概要()5.acuteE．n.(艺术创作的)材料，形式；媒介，传媒adj.中等的()6.consensusF．vt.&vi.计算；推测()7.calculateG．adj.布满星星的；像星星的，明亮的()8.shadowH．n.共识，一致的意见()9.starryI．vt.&vi.全心全意投入；犯罪，犯错；承诺，保证()10.commitJ．n.阴影，影子；阴暗处[答案]1－5DABEC6－10HFJGIⅡ.选择下列句中词组的汉语意思A．拿/用……做试/实验B．从……到……变化C．典型的……D．非常，很，不仅仅是E．充当，担当F．动身去……()1.Shehashadanumberofdifferentjobs，rangingfromcheftoswimminginstructor.()2.TypicalofChinese，heiskind，hard­workinganddetermined.()3.Hewantedtoexperimentmorewithdifferenttexturesinhispainting.()4.Atraineddogcanactasaguidetoablindperson.()5.Tom，alongwithhisfriends，hasbeenofftotheartgallery.He'llbebackintwohours.()6.IwasmorethanalittleangrywhenIsawhowthey'druinedit.[答案]1－6BCAEFD教材语篇细研VisitingthemastersHiYangYanHereIaminAmsterdam.Thistriphasbeenfantastic!Asyouknow①，Iamwithmyauntandgrandmother.Theyarebothgoodartists，andI'mthinkingaboutstartingpaintingmyselfafterIgetback②.Letmetellyouallaboutourtrip.拜访艺术大师杨彦，你好！我现在是在阿姆斯特丹。这趟旅行真是妙极了！正如你所知道的，我是跟我姑妈和奶奶一起来的。她们都是优秀的画家，我在想回去之后我也要开始学绘画。让我告诉你有关我们旅行的情况吧。[助读讲解]①Asyouknow正如你所知道的，为as引导的非限制性定语从句。②and连接表示顺承关系的并列分句，第二个分句中afterIgetback为时间状语从句。MygrandmotherreallylikesPicasso'spaintingsandthinksheisthegreatestartistever，sowestartedinSpain(西班牙)andwenttothecityofMálaga，thebirthplace(出生地)ofPicasso③.NearthehousewherePicassowasborn④isamuseumfullofhisart.Málagaisalovelycityandthearchitecture(建筑)isbeautiful.IwasamazedtolearnthatPicassohadanoutput(产量)ofmorethan20，000piecesofart.Hedidnotjustpaint，butmadesculpturesandworkedwithallkindsofmedia.Heexperimentedwithdifferentstylesofpainting，butwasmostfamousforhisworkinCubism(立体派)，whichoftenusesacuteangles(锐角)andwheretheworldisrepresentedasbeingconstructedofcubes(立方体)andrectangles(矩形)⑤.我奶奶非常喜欢毕加索的作品，认为他是有史以来最伟大的艺术家，所以我们从西班牙出发，去了毕加索的出生地马拉加市。在毕加索出生的房子附近有一座博物馆，里面都是他的艺术作品。马拉加是一座迷人的城市，建筑很美。我惊讶地得知，毕加索一生创作了两万多件艺术作品。他不仅绘画，还创作雕塑，利用各种材料创作作品。他尝试过多种不同的绘画风格，但尤以立体派作品著称。立体派常常运用锐角，在立体派画作中世界被呈现为由立方体和矩形构成。[助读讲解]③so连接表示因果关系的并列分句，第一个分句中heisthegreatestartistever为省略了that的宾语从句，第二个分句中thebirthplaceofPicasso为Málaga的同位语。④where引导定语从句，修饰先行词thehouse。⑤and连接两个并列的定语从句，其先行词都是Cubism。Ofcourse，eventhoughPicassowasSpanish，heleftSpainwhilehewasstillayoungandstrugglingartist⑥，andsettledinParis，France.So，aftervisitingSpain，wewenttoParis.DuringourfourdaysinPariswespentonewholedayattheLouvreMuseum，wherewesawtheMonaLisa，paintedbytheItalianartistLeonardodaVinci⑦.Hecreatedthisworkbetween1503and1506.Iwasreallyimpressedbythispictureofaladywithamysterioussmile.Bypopularconsensus(共识，一致的意见)，thisisthemostvaluablepaintingintheworld—itisimpossibletocalculatewhatpriceitwouldfetchifitevercameonthemarket⑧.Besidesbeingapainter，daVinciwasalsoanarchitect，sc
