教材背景链接 剪纸俗称“窗花”，是我国最普及的民间艺术之一。有着生 动、美化、吉祥的表现特征。让我们了解一下其悠久的历史和象征意义吧！,Papercutting is a very special visual art of Chinese handicrafts.One saying is that it is originated(起源于；来自) from the religious ceremony of offerings.The ancient people cut papers into animals or people.They either buried them with the dead or burned them on the funerals，wishing that things that paper stands for could be with the dead.After hundreds of years development，now they have become a very popular means of decoration(装饰) among country folk，especially women.,It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper but very difficult to master it with perfection.Beginners need only a knife and paper.For craftsman，they need knives and gravers of various types to make complicated(复杂的) patterns.For complicated patterns，people first paste the pattern on the paper and then use various kinds of knives to make it.No mistake can be made during the process otherwise the work would fail. Papercutting covers nearly all topics，from flowers，birds，animals，legendary(传说的) people，figures in classic novels, to types of facial makeup in Beijing Opera.Papercutting has various styles in different parts of China.,In the past，women living in the countryside gathered in their free time to make papercutting，which was a way to judge their skillfulness.As society develops，fewer and fewer still regard it as a profession.At present，there are factories and associations for papercutting in China.Exhibitions and exchanges are held regularly and books of this kind are published.Papercutting has changed from decoration to a kind of art.At the same time，papercutting also appears in cartoons，on stage，in magazines or in TV series.,Section Warmup & Lesson 1,.重点单词 1_ adj. 直的 adv. 直，直接 2_ n. 色彩的浓淡；阴影 3_ n. 昆虫 4_ n. 动物；有特性或特质的人 5_ vt. 强调 6_ n. 细节，详情 7_ adj. 浅的,straight,shade,insect,creature,emphasise,detail,shallow,8_ adj. 抽象的，深奥的 9_ n. 诗(总称) 10_ n. 想象，想象力 11_ n. 展览会 12_ adj. 贵重的，有价值的 13_ adj. 典型的 14_ adv. 优雅地,abstract,poetry,imagination,exhibition,valuable,typical,elegantly,.重点短语 1combine._ 把与结合起来 2_ high speed 以高速 3fix ones eyes _ 凝视/注视 4be deep _ thought 陷入沉思 5add._ 向中加入 6so _ 迄今为止 7be filled _ 充满 8be _ exhibition 在展览 9_ detail 具体地，详细地 10be _ great value 很有价值的,with,at,on,in,to,far,with,on,in,of,.重点句型 1leave复合结构 Qi Baishis style of painting often_ (让观赏者猜想)and makes them use their imagination. 2deep in thought 陷入沉思 In the painting，a young woman sits alone and is_(陷入沉思) 3wish从句虚拟语气 I wish I_(我已买到)a painting，but they are too expensive for me!,leaves the audience guessing,deep in thought,could have bought,.Read the text carefully and choose the best answer according to the text. 1Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?_ AXu Beihong was good at painting vegetables.
