II. Background
The Subjects of Traditional Chinese Paintings
The most popular subjects of traditional Chinese paintings have been landscapes, human figures, animals, fishes, birds and flowers-the last two being frequently combined as “flower and bird painting”. Figure painting, which reached maturity during the Warring States period, flourished against a Confucian background, illustrating moralistic themes. From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, the human figure occupied the dominant position in Chinese painting, as it did in pre-modern European art.
Landscape painting is called shanshui hua in Chinese. Shanshui means mountains and rivers, which stand for nature. Landscape painting is thus called because mountain and water occupy the most important place in a piece of landscape painting, while non-essential elements of landscape and people are either omitted or painted as embellishment. Nature is predominant, and human beings are only part of it. This concept of man’s relationship with nature was especially executed in the paintings of the Song Dynasty, which greatly influenced later landscape painters up to the present.

語法：本單元的語法項目為不定式和動詞的ing形式。不定式和動詞的-ing形式都屬于非謂語動詞，都可以在句中作主語，表語，賓語，定語，賓補和狀語。本單元將主要討論一下它們在使用中的異同。
1.作主語時
(1)表示一般情況時，兩者皆可。
e.g.
To learn English well is not easy. = Learning English well is not easy.
學好英語不容易。
(2). 表示具體的，特定情況下的或有待于完成的動作時，通常用動詞不定式。
e.g.
To finish reading such a long novel will take me several days.
讀完這么長的小說要花去我好幾天時間。
(3) 當it 作形式主語，動詞不定式和動名詞通常可以互換。但當表語是necessary, important等形容詞時，后面只接不定式，而當表語是no use, no good, a waste of time等詞時，則用動詞的-ing形式。

It's bad manners to spit in public. = It’s bad manners spitting in public.

(3) 主語與表語形式通常保持一致。
e.g.
To do this is to cut the foot to fit the shoe.
Doing this is cutting the foot to fit the shoe.
這樣做無異于削足適履。
3. 作賓語時
(1) 有些動詞后只能用不定式作賓語，常見的此類動詞(短語)有：
ask, agree, beg, decide, determine, fail, hope, learn, manage, offer, plan, prepare, pretend, promise, refuse, set out, want, wish, expect, demand

我無法忍受看到好好的食物被浪費。
She continues to work/working after having a baby.

(4) begin, start后跟不定式或動名詞皆可，通常可以互換，但在下列情況下，只用不定式。
① start, start本身為進行時態。

e.g.

(2) 不定式和動詞的-ing形式都可在感官動詞和使役動詞（feel, make, let, see, hear, watch,
listen to, look at, notice, observe）后作賓補。不定式強調動作發生了，即結束了；而動詞
的-ing形式則強調動作正在進行。
e.g.
I saw a man walk into the garden and pick some flower. （動作已完成）
我看到一個男人進了花園，摘了一些花。
I saw a man walking into the garden.（正在進行）
我看到一個男人正走進花園。
(3) 不定式在感官動詞和使役動詞后作賓補時，在主動語態中， to要省掉，而變為被動語態，即作主補時要加上to。
e.g.
I saw him steal my money. 我看到他偷了我的錢。
He was seen to steal my money.他被看到偷了我的錢。
5. 作狀語時
(1) 不定式作狀語通常表示目的，結果，有時也放在形容詞，過去分詞后作狀語表示原因；動詞的-ing形式作狀語則通常表示時間，原因，條件或伴隨等。

The small unframed painting called “Fishman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession. Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I could see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame.
“it’s a most unusual frame, made of tiny, silver sea-shells（貝殼）. They are set in such a way that they reflect （反射）perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.
“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then.
“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one; so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”
As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused （指控） of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
Pitt was not happy, “I told the truth as I knew then,” he said. “What else could I say?”
And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is responsible (to blame),” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty(有罪).”

C. at the bus stop or port; help people enter the USA.
D. at the airport or port; help people enter The USA.

The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese King and an English princess.
Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him-Jewish astronomers, Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who know how to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it.
Henry’s goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel (多桅小帆船) ， which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack (寬身帆船), which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo.
The world woes credit to Prince Henry for the development of the craft that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.

One of China’s most popular folkarts is papercutting（剪紙）. Archaeological(考古學的) finds trace the tradition back to the 6th century; it is supposed that the beginnings of papercutting were even a few centuries earlier. Papercuttings are used for religious(宗教的) purposes, for decoration (裝飾)and as patterns(圖案).
Today, papercuttings are mainly used as decoration. They ornament walls, windows, doors, columns mirrors, lamps and lanterns in homes. They are also used for decoration on presents, and are given as presents themselves. They are of special importance at festivals. At the Spring Festival for example, entrances are decorated with papercuttings which are supposed to bring good luck.
Parpercuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. There are two kinds of paper cuttings; scissor (剪刀) cuttings and knife cuttings. Scissor cuttings are fashioned with scissors. Several pieces of paper--- up to eight pieces---are fastened together. The motif(圖形) is then cut with sharp, pointed scissors.
Knife cuttings are fashioned by putting several layers (層) of paper on a relatively soft foundation consisting of a mixture of tallow (動物脂) and ashes. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the motif into the paper with a sharp knife which he usually holds vertically(垂直地. The advantage of knife cuttings is that considerably more papercuttings can be made in one operation than scissor cuttings.
In the countryside, papercuttings are usually made only by women and girls. This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master and that were often used to judge brides(新娘). Professional papercutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who have guaranteed (保證) incomes and work together in workshops.
53. Papercuttings can be used for ______________.
A. decoration B. decoration on presents C. presents D. all of the above
54 The underlined word ornament means ______________.
A. to be added to and make something beautiful B. to be used as
C. to be cut in D. to be made on
55. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. The ways of papercutting B. The reasons for papercutting
C. The purposes of papercutting D. Papercutting
