高考英语复习话题语篇专攻练28文学艺术二外研版.docx

话题语篇专攻练28文学艺术(二)(建议用时35分钟). 阅读理解AWell-written reviews of books, music, movies, and other products can arouse peoples interest. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you like or dont like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense. Book ReviewsDiscuss an authors technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusingon the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good for teenagers to read? What influence did it have on you and why? If youve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares. Movie ReviewsThink of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didnt? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the movie to its original. Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so dont give away an exciting scene or the ending! College ReviewsBegin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending it. 【文章大意】本文主要告诉我们如何写出很好的文学评论, 并列举了三种不同题材的文学评论的写法和注意要点。1. When writing a review, you_.

Recycled paper, cloth and metal goods can become important pictures and sculptures. Plastic bags are not expensive to produce. They are also strong and easy to carry. This is why they are popular containers in much of the world. But they are also a major source of pollution. So, environmental experts urge people to reuse and recycle plastic bags. Maryland artist Allita Irby does just that. It starts with the morning newspaper. Ms Irby will read it later in the day. What is more important is getting that plastic bag the paper comes in. The mixed media artist recognized its rich possibilities about three years ago. “As I was taking the newspaper out, I felt the texture of these bags, they were soft. I just looked down and realized it takes three to make a braid. Ill just put a few staples in here just to keep it from separating. ”Since then, Irby has been using plastic bags to create abstract lines in her art works. Before incorporating plastic bags in her pieces, Irby used natural materials like feathers, leather and dried plants. All those elements represent her Native American ancestry and identity, like her piece called“Navaho Bundles”. “I was replicating a hair style, a Navaho hair style when the hair is heavy and its looped back on itself. I took the piece and looped it back onto itself and secured it with a tie. ”Ms Irbys neighbors praise her ability to turn trash into treasure. Some, like Charlotte Hogan, said, “I think its fascinating, its wonderful. I do plan to share with my seniors at my church. ”Neighbor Aleta Meyer expressed surprise. “Ive never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag. I want to make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it up on my wall and then I know that I did it. ”Allita Irby says anyone can do it. “I think were all artists really, and there is beauty all around us. ”The artist says all you have to do is open your eyes and bring the outside in. 【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一个女艺术家充分利用废弃的塑料袋, 将它们融入到自己的艺术作品中的情况。4.
