Narrator
Listen to part of a talk in an art appreciation class.
Professor
In order for art to communicate—to appeal to the emotions or the intellect—it has to combine various visual elements to express meaning ... or emotion. It’s really the visual components of the work—things like color, texture, shape, lines—and how these elements work together that tell us something about the work. Artists combine and manipulate these visual elements to express a message or to create a mood.
Think about how a painter might use color, for example. You all know from experience that different colors appeal in different ways to the senses and can convey different meanings. An artist chooses certain colors to evoke a particular mood and make powerful statements. The color red, for example, is a strong color and can conjure up strong emotions ... such as extreme joy, or excitement... or even anger. Blue, on the other hand, is considered a cool color. Blue colors tend to have a calming effect on viewers.
Another visual element important to art is texture. By texture, I mean the surface quality or "feel" of the work ... its smoothness, or roughness, or softness. . .. Now, of course, in some types of art, the texture is physical—it can actually be touched by the fingers. But in painting, for example, texture can be visual. The way an artist paints certain areas of a painting can create the illusion of texture ... an object’s smoothness, or roughness, or softness. A rough texture can evoke stronger emotions and strength while a smooth texture is more calming and less emotional.
As I said earlier, artists often combine elements to convey a message about the work. Take a painting that, say, uses a lot of strong colors like reds and oranges and . .. and uses brushstrokes that are broad—wide, sweeping brushstrokes that suggest a rough texture. Well, these elements together can convey a wilder, more chaotic emotion in the viewer than, more than in, say ... a painting with tiny, smooth brushstrokes and soft or pale colors. Artists use these visual effects and the senses they arouse to give meaning to their work.

选项
答案     To respond to this particular question, you should talk about some of the visual elements of painting and explain why they are important. You should include relevant points and examples from the lecture(and not from any other source).
    To begin your response, you should briefly state the main idea, that visual elements convey meaning and express emotion in paintings. You would then talk about the different points the professor gives to support this. You would say, for example, that colors can evoke strong emotions, and give the example that red can evoke anger or blue can make somebody feel calm. Then you could talk about texture. You could say that texture can be physical or visual or that texture can also evoke emotions; for example, a smooth texture can be calming. You could then talk about how artists combine these elements to create meaning; for example, strong colors, such as reds, plus wide sweeping brushstrokes suggest chaos and stronger emotions.
    As the goal of this item is to provide a summary of the professor’s lecture, you do not need to repeat all of the details from the lecture. You need to only give sufficient details to explain why visual details are important in a painting.
    Your response should be intelligible, should demonstrate effective use of grammar and vocabulary, and should be well developed and coherent.
