1、专题09 文学与艺术【美文阅读1】导读:一个花匠用两只水桶给花浇水,一只崭新,另一只则非常破旧,总是漏水。这其中到底蕴藏着什么玄机呢?Two BucketsThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of servic
2、e, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very
3、 ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you
4、 are!And all that the old bucket could say was, I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, at least.One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual, he said, You both have done
5、 your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path.Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare earth; one the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a
6、 joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.两只水桶从前有一个花匠,他精心地照管着自己的花园。他用两只水桶浇花,其中一只是闪亮的新桶,另一只却已经使用了很多年,看起来非常破旧,早已不复昔日的辉煌。每天早晨,花匠会把两个桶装满水,然后挑着它们沿着小路走到花圃。新水桶非常骄傲,它里面的水满满的,一点都没有溢出。旧水桶却感到非常惭愧,因为它身上有小洞,还没到花圃,很多水已经沿着小路漏掉了。 有时候,新水桶会说,看我多能干!花匠有我每天帮他浇花多好!我真不知道他为什么还舍不得丢掉你。你简直就是个废物嘛! 而那只旧水桶只会
7、说,我知道我没有多大用处,但是我会尽我所能。至少,花匠仍然觉得我还有一点点用处,我已经很高兴了。 有一天,花匠听到了它们的交谈。像往常一样给花浇完水后,他说,你们两个都做得很好。现在我要带你们回去,我希望你们一路上仔细看看小路的两旁。两个水桶就照着花匠说的做了。沿着小路,他们看到,新水桶经过的那一边,只有光秃秃的土地,而旧水桶经过的另一边,则长满了怒放的野花,一直蔓延到花园。重点单词:1. bucket bkt n. 水桶2. dilapidated dlpdetd adj. 荒废的3. spill spl vt. 使溢出vi. 溢出4. leak lik vi. 漏,渗5. joyous d

11、无知。”你认可这种观点吗?美国人究竟有哪些音乐爱好呢?American Music StylesJames Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music. If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans-even those without a musical bone in their bodies-have a favorite st
12、yle of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were made in the U.S.A. Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States.
13、Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee-Music City U.S.A. Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to fr
14、eely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s. This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. Different styles of jazz developed in differen
15、t cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City.The 1950s saw the development of an explosive new music style: rock n roll. This powerful music style addresses issues like love, sex, drugs, politics and death. Often it rebels against the accepted values of society. Rock concerts, fe
16、aturing loud music and sometimes weird stage acts, have become a major part of American youth culture. Music videos on television have spread the message of rock to the far corners of the globe. And the beat goes on. Pop music represents popular styles that have wide appeal. Golden oldies from the p
17、ast bring back pleasant memories for many. Rap music, which burst onto the music scene in the 1970s, is actually more like a rhyming chant. Rappers give a strong-sometimes vulgar-message about life in the streets. Americans have always been a religious people, and music has long been a part of their
18、 religious experience, as well. Todays Christian styles fit all musical tastes-from country to jazz to pop to rock to rap. In America, music is a shared experience. People grow up with piano lessons, chorus classes and marching band practices. They can talk about their tastes in music when there isn
19、t anything else to talk about. If James Fenimore Cooper were here today, he would surely have to change his tune. 美国的音乐风格詹姆斯费尼莫尔库柏,一位美国早期的作家,曾经说过:“美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。”如果这句话曾经是事实,今天就绝对不是你所知道的样子了。大部份的美国人甚至那些根本没有音乐细胞的人都有自己喜爱的音乐类型。很多人喜欢来自世界各地的古典音乐和民间音乐。但是美国其他的流行音乐则是土生土长的。在美国,乡村和西部音乐深入人心。这种音乐风格是从美国南部和西部的乡村音
20、乐发展而来的。乡村音乐讲述的是平实的爱情故事和生活的艰辛。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴赋予了乡村音乐特有的音色。美国乡村音乐的故乡是位于田纳西州的那什维尔市,它号称美国音乐之城。爵士乐,是在19世纪晚期由非裔美国人创造的,这种音乐可以让演奏者自由宣泄自己的情绪、表现自己的音乐技巧。爵士乐手们不仅演奏乐曲,也可以即兴创作不同的曲调。20世纪20年代,爵士乐进入了巅峰时期。这个时期造就了路易斯阿姆斯特朗、古德曼和埃林顿这样的杰出乐手。不同城市孕育了不同风格的爵士乐,比如新奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和堪萨斯市。20世纪50年代见证了一种爆炸性的音乐类型的发展,这就是摇滚乐。这种音乐极具震撼力,涉及的是诸如爱情、性
21、、毒品、政治和死亡之类的话题。它经常叛离世人接受的社会价值观念。摇滚音乐会凭借其高昂的乐声和怪异的舞台表演已经成为美国年轻人的主流文化之一。摇滚音乐的视频也通过电视传播到了世界偏远的角落。音乐的节拍一直在前进。流行音乐代表了流行的风格深受大众喜爱。逝去的岁月留给我们的“黄金老歌”带领很多人重温昔日的美好回忆。嘻哈音乐,于20世纪70年代迅速跻身音乐舞台,它实际就像一种押韵的说唱。嘻哈乐手表达的是强烈的、有时甚至是粗俗的街头生活。美国人一直是信奉宗教的民族,因此音乐也是他们宗教体验的一部分。如今的基督教音乐可以满足人们不同的音乐品味乡村音乐、爵士乐、流行音乐、摇滚乐、嘻哈音乐无不包含其中。在美国
22、,音乐是一种可以与人分享的体验。人们在钢琴课、合唱队和游行乐队的练习中成长起来。当无话可谈的时候,他们就可以聊一聊自己的音乐爱好。如果今天费尼莫尔库柏还在人世,他肯定得更正自己的论调了。【重点单词】1. ignorant gn()r()nt adj. 无知的;愚昧的2. originate rdnet; - vt. 引起;创作3. banjo bnd n. 班卓琴;五弦琴4. improvise mprvaz vt. 即兴创作;即兴表演5. weird wd adj. 怪异的;不可思议的6. chant tnt n. 圣歌;赞美诗7. vulgar vlg adj. 粗俗的;通俗的【重点短语
23、/ 亮点句式】1. instead of代替;而不是。这是一个复合介词,后跟名词、代词或者动名词作宾语。如:Why dont you play football instead of just looking on?你为什么不参加踢足球而只是看热闹?2. such as比如;诸如。这个短语用来表示不完全列举。如:Heroes such as Huang Jiguang will always live in the hearts of the people.像黄继光这样的英雄人物, 将永远活在人民的心里。I like drinks such as tea and soda.我喜欢诸如茶和汽水之
24、类的饮料。3. The 1950s saw the development of an explosive new music style: rock n roll.20世纪50年代见证了一种爆炸性的音乐类型的发展,这就是摇滚乐。动词see作“经历;见证”讲时,主语通常是某个时间或者地点,并且通常不用进行时态。如:The city has seen plenty of violence over the years. 近年本市发生多起暴力事件。The country sees a decrease in population.这个国家人口数出现了下降。4. If James Fenimore
25、Cooper were here today, he would surely have to change his tune. 如果今天费尼莫尔库柏还在人世,他肯定得更正自己的论调了。这个主从复合句中使用了虚拟语气。表示与现在事实相反,if从句中的动词用用过去时过去时(Be动词用were),主句中的动词用should/would/could/might+do。如:If I were you, I would take an umbrella.如果我是你,我会带把伞。(事实:我不可能是你)If I knew his telephone number, I would tell you.如果我知
26、道他的电话号码,我就会告诉你。(事实:不知道)练习1. Mary is ill today. If she _, she _ absent from school.A. were not ill, wouldnt be B. had been ill, wouldnt have beenC. had been ill, should have been D. hadnt been ill, could be2. How many music styles are mentioned in the passage? What are they?答案1. A 考查虚拟语气。表示与现在事实相反,if
27、从句中的动词用用过去时过去时(Be动词用were),主句中的动词用should/would/could/might+do,所以答案为A。2. Six. They are country and western music, jazz music, rock n roll, pop music, rap music and Christian music. 文学与艺术是高中新课标话题之一。该话题主要包括各种文学类型、艺术形式、文化名人以及艺术家等方面。文学与艺术这个话题与我们的实际生活密切相关,对于学生了解国内外的文学与艺术形式,还有它们的特点、历史、发展与创新等都有帮助。该话题能够引导学生接受
