For the first time, I created a(n) 　1　 piano arrangement of one of my favourite songs.

I’ve been a pianist since my hands grew big enough to touch the 　5　. For many years, my musical identity was 　6　 by the notes that others had written in the past centuries.

In music, as in other aspects of life, I believe that true originality 　10　 exists. Almost everything has been done before. The most passionate romance novel may be a slightly 　11　 version of a play written by Shakespeare, which in turn was 　12　 from the writers of Ancient Greece.
The gift of 　13　 is just like what I did on the piano: to find out something beautiful, to analyse and change it and 　14　 yourself in the mystery of its composition, and then to make it new. Such an act is not copying; it is finding 　15　 and using it as fuel for your own masterpiece.

●Ⅴ 阅读理解
Where is the line between art and advertising A large painting in Conway, New Hampshire, has led to a zoning (分区) conflict, a First Amendment legal action and a local vote.
It started with a high school art project to paint a picture on a building in the town. The building houses a store called Leavitt’s Country Bakery. The picture shows the sun shining over mountains of cakes found in bakeries.
This leads to the town zoning board getting involved. It decided that the painting was more advertising than art. Officials said that, as an advertisement, the sign was too big. Its size broke town rules. The board ordered the sign be removed or changed. Bakery owner Sean Young faced possible fines if he did not follow the order. So, he decided to fight it in court. Young’s legal action charged the town of Conway with violating his right to free speech, guaranteed in the US Constitution (宪法).
“They said it would be art elsewhere,” Young told The Associated Press. “It’s just not art here.”
Many, including the zoning board members, liked the students’ work. But they said rules must be followed. At about 8.6 square metres, the mural (壁画) is four times bigger than zoning rules permit for advertising signs.
Then, last week, residents voted against changes to the rules. The lawsuit (诉讼) argues that the town’s definition of “sign” is very general and its zoning rules do not include the word “mural”.
Board member Luigi Bartolomeo said he thinks the painting at the bakery is art, not advertising. “I think it’s a very badly written code here,” said Bartolomeo. But board chairperson John Colbath said the board had to work with the rule, which was approved by voters. He argued that the mural would likely be seen as art, and not advertising, if its subject did not represent the products found at Leavitt’s.
(　)1.Why did the zoning board view the picture as an advertisement
A.It was bigger than the permitted size in the town rules.
B.The shining sun made it more eye-catching in the town.
C.Cakes sold in the store were painted on the large sign.
D.The bakery owner desired it would help him earn money.
(　)2.What led Young to take legal action
A.He was seeking financial freedom.
B.He wanted to bring attention to a larger issue.
C.He was personally threatened by the town’s actions.
D.He believed his rights had been unfairly denied.
(　)3.What can you infer from John Colbath’s words
A.The mural is an advertisement rather than art.
B.The mural should be displayed regardless of the rule.
C.The subject didn’t show the products at Leavitt’s.
D.The code here is badly written.
(　)4.What is the suitable title for the text
A.Will the court regard the picture as art
B.Is the mural art or advertising
C.Should the right to freedom violate rules
D.How to solve the conflict between art and ads
