12、 4.highly-skilled 5.ground-breaking 6.over-priced Step 2: Art exhibitions Activity 7: Read the passage and answer the questions. Since the earliest cave paintings, humans have been exhibiting art on walls. There has always been a connection between artists and their works, their points of view, and

13、the viewers. Bringing artworks together into an exhibition enables all of us to experience the works, to respond to, to enjoy and to connect with them. Art exhibitions can have many themes, such as a historical period, a location or a trend. Of them all, one ever-lasting source of inspiration is war

14、 and peace. Countless artists have been protesting wars and promoting peace via their works, including Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and Chinese artist Feng Zikai, to name just a couple. 1 What else do you know about Pablo Picasso and Feng Zikai? 2 What other artists are famous for representing war a

19、t. I personally think. 听力文本1： The title of this painting is Guernica. It was painted by the well- known Spanish artist,Pablo Picasso. Picasso painted this huge, breathtaking painting after the attack on the town of Guernica by the Nazis. It measures about 3.5 metres in height and almost 8 metres in

20、width, and contains many different elements. In the centre of the painting, we can see a bull, a horse, a light bulb and a dead or wounded man lying on the ground. There have been endless debates about the meaning of these images, but Picasso insisted that it wasnt up to the painter to define them.

21、He said that people must interpret the images as they understand them. Through these images, I can see the tragedy of war, and feel the peoples fear as well as Picassos anger towards the fighting. In the painting, Picasso uses only three colours: black, white and grey. In my opinion, this makes its

22、effect more powerful than using a full range of colours. 听力文本1： Lets take a look at The Battlefield in Spring by Feng Zikai, who was one of the pioneers of modern Chinese cartoons. His illustrations deal with complex social issues in a simpleand lively way, and are widely loved by Chinese people. Th

23、is Chinese cartoon is painted in protest of Japanese aggression against China. In this cartoon, you can see a small section ofa battlefield, made up of sandbags, an army cap and a wire fence. On one of the sandbags grows some grass leaves. The lifeless objects together with the grass leaves create a

24、 strong contrast. Unlike Guernica, I personally think this cartoon delivers quite an optimistic message. It shows that the destruction of war is only temporary, and that the power of life is everlasting. I can feel the strong spirit and hope in this cartoon. It is widely believed that the grass shows Feng Zikais encouragement to the Chinese people as well as his hope for peace. Through his war cartoons, he wanted to express his belief that Chinese people would win the war and bring peace back to the country.
