para 1 : The basic information of Qingming Scroll .
The scroll consists of three main sections. The first section presents a peaceful scene of rural life near Bianjing, featuring crop fields, a river winding through the landscape, and farmers hard at work. The second section shows the riverbanks and the central bridge alive with activity as boats sail in and out of Bianjing. Civilians can also be seen walking through the city gate in both directions.
画卷由三个主要部分组成。
第一部分展现了汴京城外平静的乡村生活场景，重点描绘了农田、蜿蜒而过的河流和辛勤劳作的农民。
第二部分展示了热热闹闹的河堤和中央桥，往来汴京的船只穿梭着。
我们也可以看到平民进出城门。

The third and final section pictures life inside the city itself. Here, hundreds of people from all walks of life, including butchers, hairdressers and government officials, can be seen going about their daily business. The combination of these three sections gives the viewer an idea of what life was like for the people of Bianjing．
第三部分，也是最后一部分，描绘了城内的生活情景。
在这里，可以看见数百个来自各行各业的人们正在忙着自己的营生，有肉贩，有理发师，还有官差。
这三部分的结合，让观者体会到汴京人当时的生活场景。

Zhang's amazing artistic technique is apparent all across the scroll. Using ink on silk, he creates realistic images of scenery, buildings and people, and displays a remarkable mastery of perspective. The most impressive aspect of the painting, however, is probably Zhang's precise brushwork. This well -developed ability, as well as the scroll's ambitious size, allows Zhang to show an enormous amount of detail — you could study the painting for hours and still discover something new.
显然，张择端惊人的艺术技巧贯穿于整幅画卷。
他用水墨在绢本上作画，创作出逼真的风景、建筑和人物形象，并展现出对透视法的精通。
然而，这幅画最令人印象深刻的方面可能是张择端细致的笔触。
张择端娴熟的绘画技艺以及气势恢宏的画幅，让他能展现大量的细节——你细看这幅画卷数小时之后还能有新的发现。

Read paragraph 3 and answer the following questions.
1. What materials did Zhang Zeduan use
2. What’s the most impressive aspect of the painting
3. What enables Zhang to show an enormous amount of detail
He used ink on silk.
It is probably Zhang’s precise brushwork.
His well-developed ability, as well as the scroll’s ambitious size.
Thanks to all this fine detail, the Qingming Scroll provides a comprehensive look at life during the Northern Song Dynasty. It reveals a great deal about the 12th -century Chinese customs, clothing, transportation methods, business practices, and a wide range of buildings, such as temples, teahouses and government structures. At first sight, the overall scene of life in the capital city appears peaceful and cheerful.
由于有了这些精妙的细节，《清明上河图》全面展现了北宋时期的生活。
它揭露了12世纪中国在民俗、服装、交通方式、商业活动，以及例如寺庙、茶馆和政府机构等的各种各样的建筑方面的诸多细节。

However, some critics suggest that on closer inspection, the painting actually exposes serious political and social problems. Some boats carrying food do not seem to belong to the government, which suggests that the government has lost control of food supplies and transportation. Also in the painting are soldiers who appear to ignore their duties.
然而，一些评论家提出，经过更为仔细的观察，会发现这幅画实际上揭露了严重的政治和社会问题。
有些运送食品的船只似乎不属于政府，这表明政府已经失去了对食品供应和运输的控制。
画中还有一些士兵似乎忽视职责。

There are some less obvious indicators of trouble too. For example, in the centre of the scroll, a boat is in danger of crashing into the bridge. These sorts of details point to a crisis developing in the city. In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty was in decline by this stage. About twenty years after the painting was completed, it was overthrown.
此外，还有一些不太明显的迹象，预示着麻烦的到来。
例如,在卷轴的中心,一艘船有撞桥的危险。
诸多细节表明，某种危机正在京城中酝酿。
事实上，到这个阶段，北宋已经走向衰落了。
就在这幅画作完成大约二十年后，北宋王朝就被推翻了。

Zhang's timeless scroll is an important example of realism in the history of Chinese paintings. Its value is down not only to its great scale, artistic quality and attention to detail, but also to its representation of daily life. Such is its worth that several later emperors even asked the most talented artists of their day to make copies of the scroll. Some of these copies are now regarded as precious works of art in their own right. With the Qingming Scroll, Zhang made an outstanding contribution to Chinese art and greatly influenced generations of future artists.
张择端这幅不朽之作是中国绘画史上现实主义的重要典范。
它的价值不仅在于画幅宏大，艺术性高，注重细节，而且还在于日常生活的展现。
这幅画价值如此之高，以至于后世有几位皇帝甚至命令当朝最有才华的画家来临摹这幅长卷。

The original scroll is still in one piece despite its age, but it is extremely delicate. Because of this, it is not often displayed to the public. The last time it was on exhibition, crowds waited in line for hours for the rare chance to see the famous painting with their own eyes. The public's continued enthusiasm about the Qingming Scoll, even after all these centuries, speaks volumes about the power of this historic piece of art.
原始画卷年代久远，虽仍完好无缺，但却极其易损。
正因为如此，它并不经常向公众展示。
上一次展出时，人们排队数小时，只为抓住这罕见的机会，亲眼观赏这幅名作。
甚至在几个世纪之后，公众仍对《清明上河图》热情不减，这充分说明这幅历史性画作的影响力。

Read paragraph 5 to 6 and answer the following questions.
1. What does the value of the Qingming Scroll lie in
2. What happened to the copies of the scroll
3. Why is the scroll not often displayed to public now
Its value lies in its great scale, artistic quality, attention to detail, and its representation of daily life.
Some of the copies are now regarded as precious works of art in their own right.
Because it is extremely delicate.
Why are the masterpieces not allowed to display
从理论上说，几乎所有光线都会对文物造成损伤，尤其是紫外线和红外线，能对器物表面造成结构性的伤害，促使其老化。因此，无论什么文物，最理想的保存环境都应该绝对无光。秦兵马俑在刚出土时很多表面都有彩绘，然而出土后不久多因温湿度、光线等保存环境突变而脱落。但是，光线对博物馆展览显然必不可少。因此，针对各种文物对于光线的敏感程度，文物保护部门也出台了相关的规定，严格控制文物在展览过程中所承受光照的限度。
有学者针对丝绸的实验就说明，闪光灯的使用对丝织品的损害十分明显。被闪光灯拍摄的丝绸不仅会出现褪色、变暗，甚至还会形成肉眼都能观察到的焦化点。
Why are the masterpieces not allowed to display
What values do you think the Qingming Scroll has offered us
