人類早期的繪畫的閱讀理解

關於人類早期的繪畫的閱讀理解

人類在30,000年前就開始繪畫。最早期的畫是由那些打獵的`人畫的。他們通常畫的是他們想要捕殺的動物。

People?have?been?painting?pictures?for?at?least?30,000?years.?The?earliest?pictures?were?painted?by?people?who?hunted?animals.?They?used?to?paint?pictures?of?the?animals?they?wanted?to?catch?and?kill.?Pictures?of?this?kind?have?been?found?on?the?walls?of?caves?in?France?and?Spain.?

No?one?knows?why?they?were?painted?there.Perhaps?the?painters?thought?that?their?pictures?would?help?them?to?catch?these?animals.?Or?perhaps?human?beings?have?always?wanted?to?tell?stories?in?pictures.

About?5,000?years?ago,?the?Egyptians?and?other?people?in?the?Near?East?began?to?use?pictures?as?kind?of?writing.?They?drew?simple?pictures?or?signs?to?represent?things?and?ideas,?and?also?to?represent?the?sounds?of?their?language.?

The?signs?these?people?used?became?a?kind?of?alphabet.The?Egyptians?used?to?record?information?and?to?tell?stories?by?putting?picture?writing?and?pictures?together.?When?an?important?person?died,?scenes?and?stories?from?his?life?were?painted?and?carved?on?the?walls?of?the?place?where?he?was?buried.?

Some?of?these?pictures?are?like?modern?comic?strip?stories.It?has?been?said?that?Egypt?is?the?home?of?the?comic?strip.?But,?for?the?Egyptians,?pictures?still?had?magic?power.?So?they?did?not?try?to?make?their?way?of?writing?simple.?The?ordinary?people?could?not?understand?it.

By?the?year?1,000?BC,?people?who?lived?in?the?area?around?the?Mediterranean?Sea?had?developed?a?simpler?system?of?writing.?The?signs?they?used?were?very?easy?to?write,?and?there?were?fewer?of?them?than?in?the?Egyptian?system.?This?was?because?each?sign,?or?letter,?represented?only?one?sound?in?their?language.?

The?Greeks?developed?this?system?and?formed?the?letters?of?the?Greek?alphabet.?The?Romans?copied?the?idea,?and?the?Roman?alphabet?is?now?used?all?over?the?world.

These?days,?we?can?write?down?a?story,?or?record?information,?without?using?pictures.?But?we?still?need?pictures?of?all?kinds:?drawing,?photographs,?signs?and?diagrams.?We?find?them?everywhere:?in?books?and?newspapers,?in?the?street,?and?on?the?walls?of?the?places?where?we?live?and?work.

?Pictures?help?us?to?understand?and?remember?things?more?easily,?and?they?can?make?a?story?much?more?interesting.
