3 The Tang emperors were very fond of horses.This meant that the animal was a frequent subject for artists.At that time，the most common way to study horse painting was by copying the works of previous painters.Han Gan's method，however，was different—he observed the animal itself.He was a frequent visitor to the royal stables and even moved in to live with the stable workers for quite some time.The horses，whether resting or on the move [5]，offered him plenty of inspiration.The more time he spent observing these animals，the more his understanding of them grew.[6]Day after day ，Han Gan painted the horses，his brush presenting every detail that he saw with his own eyes[7].

韩干和他的马
1 好一匹骏马！尽管走过千年的时光，我们仍能感受到它目光如炬的双眸、露出的牙齿和高扬的马蹄所展现的力量。《照夜白图》，现收藏于纽约大都会艺术博物馆，被认为是中国艺术史上最重要的骏马图之一。它的创作者，画家韩干，以高超的技巧闻名，他不仅善于捕捉动物的形体特征，还擅长展现它的内在精神和力量。
2 韩干出生于初唐时期一个贫穷的家庭，为了帮忙养家，他小小年纪就在当地一家酒馆工作。他的艺术天赋是当他被派去诗人王维家收取酒钱时偶然间被发现的。在门口等待的时候，韩干用一根棍子在土地上画画，结果被诗人王维看见了。王维决定资助这个年轻人学习绘画，并将他推荐给一位大师。由于天资聪颖，加上多年勤学苦练，韩干最后被选入皇宫，为唐玄宗效力。
3 唐朝皇帝都非常喜欢马，马因此成了画家笔下的常见主题。当时，学习画马最为普遍的方法就是临摹以前画家的作品。然而，韩干的方式是不同的——他去观察真的马。他是皇家马厩的常客，甚至搬进去和马夫同住了好长一段时间。无论是正在休息还是在跑动的马，都给他提供了很多灵感。他观察的时间越长，对这些动物的了解程度就越深。韩干日复一日地画马，用画笔把自己亲眼观察到的每一处细节都呈现出来。
4 据说，皇帝曾让韩干拜一位画马大师为师，韩干回答说：“臣自有师，陛下内厩之马，皆臣之师也。”
5 所有看过韩干的骏马图的人都盛赞他独特的技巧，称他的马“跃然纸上”。就连宋朝著名诗人苏轼也曾以“韩生画马真是马”表达了对韩干作为画马大师的由衷钦佩。

Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
A
An American country music star has used artificial intelligence (AI) to make music again，years after suffering a stroke(中风).
Randy Travis was a popular country music performer in the 1980s and 1990s and won several Grammy Awards during his career.But in 2013 he suffered a stroke，which made it hard for Travis to speak，not to mention making music and returning to the stage.
Kyle Lehning，Travis' long-time music producer，said“Where That Came From”was a song that fits Travis' way of singing.When Travis was at the top of his career，he was known for a more traditional kind of country music.It was a contrast to the pop-country songs that were popular in the late 1980s.
Lehning talked about the process of making the song.First，another singer recorded the song in what is known as a “demo (试样唱片)”.Then the AI system analysed the song and added Travis' voice to it.Then Lehning worked with Casey Wood，a recording engineer who knew Travis well，to get it perfect.The two music professionals made changes to the speed of some of the sounds.At last，a song “sung” by Travis was created.
“I really wish somebody had been here with a camera，”Lehning said about the experience of watching the computer apply Travis' voice to the song.“And it was shocking to me，because how good it was！”
The final version of the song is much different from the outcome when a computer programmer uses AI to create something without permission.“I seemed on top of the world，”Mary Travis said about the chance to hear her husband's voice in a new song.“Owing to the advanced technology，I have the chance to listen to what I have been wanting.”
She added that her husband had a thoughtful look on his face when he first heard the song.“I think he went through every emotion in those three minutes of just hearing his voice again，”Mary Travis said.
[解题导语]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了音乐制作人借助人工智能帮助一位因中风而无法发声的乡村音乐家制作音乐。

The word “art” usually evokes (唤起) images of white-walled galleries，abstract paintings costing millions of dollars and wealthy people，far removed from our everyday experience.Yet，art in the 21st century is a different story.
The Internet has weakened the idea that art appreciation is only for the rich.It has enabled more people than ever to have access to izens are not only consumers of art but creators and participants.The social media has made it much easier to share unprofessional work with the whole world.An unprofessional artist can now sell work or get advertising money from online videos.
“A picture is worth a thousand words” is the motto of data visualisation (可视化)fans.The amount of information available today can be huge，so some people are working on presenting data using visually appealing diagrams that are easy for the public to understand.Of course，diagrams can also be used by dishonest people to mislead the audience，so we need to take care to interpret them the right way.
Another way that art advances education is by enabling us to understand concepts that are invisible to the naked eye.For most biology students，the names and functions of dozens of proteins go in one ear and out the other，but unforgettable videos like The Inner Life of the Cell turn proteins into tiny people with different jobs in a city of large machinery.The same goes for concepts in physics such as black holes—we can understand them better with the help of artists who have backgrounds in both art and science.
Even though most people may not be consciously aware of it，art is all around us.As most of our surrounding environment is man-made，everything in it contains some elements of art and can influence our behaviour—telling us where to go or how to interact with objects，feeding us true or false information and controlling our emotions.Art indeed has a greater impact than many would believe it does.
[解题导语]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了21世纪的艺术因其便利性和强大影响力改变了人们对艺术的欣赏，有助于促进教育的发展。

A.Optimistic. B.Disapproving.
C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
解析　C　观点态度题。根据第三段中的“Of course，diagrams can also be used...interpret them the right way.”可知，作者对使用图表的态度是客观的。
7.What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A.Videos turn proteins into tiny people.
B.Videos explain concepts better than pictures.
C.Art helps students understand some concepts.
D.Art helps artists have more backgrounds.

8.Which of the following can best describe art in the 21st century
A.Accessible and powerful.
B.Abstract and graceful.
C.Expensive and digital.
D.Traditional and controversial.
解析　A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Even though most people may not be consciously aware of it，art is all around us.”和“Art indeed has a greater impact than many would believe it does.”可推知，21世纪的艺术既是易接近的又是强大的。
