类文悦读·情境导学
缪斯在希腊神话中是主司艺术与科学的九位古老文艺女神的总称,是艺术家的灵感来源。在中国艺术中,灵感的来源是多种多样的,比如自然景物、历史文化和社会生活,它们是艺术家们笔下的重要题材,成为艺术创作中的重要元素,并为艺术家们提供了无尽的创作灵感。你能想到中国哪位艺术家的作品及其灵感源呢
Qingming Scroll
Zhang Zeduan’s Qingming Scroll is a masterwork① of Chinese art.Painted on a five-metre-long silk scroll,it offers an important insight into life in China in the 12th century.It is commonly believed that the city described in the painting is Bianjing (present-day Kaifeng),the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.The ancient scroll has survived② the test of time remarkably③ well,and is currently housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
The scroll consists of three main sections.The first section presents a peaceful scene of rural life near Bianjing,featuring④ crop fields,a river winding⑤ 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.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 combination⑥ of these three sections gives the viewer an idea of what life was like for the people of Bianjing.
Zhang’s amazing⑦ artistic technique is apparent⑧ all across the scroll.Using ink on silk,he creates realistic⑨ images of scenery,buildings and people,and displays a remarkable mastery of perspective⑩.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.
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.

语 篇 助 解 释 疑
[原文呈现]　　　　　 What inspires① you
Every artist’s wish is [1]to create something that expresses an idea.But where do artists get their ideas from Who or what inspires them Here we find out② more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists.
[1]to create...idea 为动词不定式短语作表语,其中又包含一个that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词something。
Florentijn Hofman,visual artist③
1　Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch④ artist,whose large sculptures are on display⑤ all over the world.One way for him to find inspiration is turning to⑥ his children’s toys.These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures,such as the famous Rubber Duck.A more recent work of his is the huge Floating⑦ Fish,which was set⑧ among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone.
2　Hofman’s inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales passed down⑨ through the generations.He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”.This story came to life⑩ for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there.
3　“During the walk and my stay here in the town,I [2]saw the fish being fed by people.You see also some fish sculpted on the wall.” These sights set Hofman’s idea for Floating Fish in motion .
[2]使用了“see +宾语+宾语补足语(动词-ing形式的被动结构)”,表示“看见……正在被……”。
Tan Dun,composer
4　“There is no territory in the world of music.” These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun.He is most widely known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
5　[3] To listen to Tan’s music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences .Since his first opera,Nine Songs,Tan Dun [4]has been using a combination of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories.[5]As Tan once said, Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit [6]so as to be recognised by the whole world.
[3]To listen to Tan’s music 为动词不定式短语作主语,to experience...为动词不定式短语作表语。
[4]现在完成进行时形式,表示动作从过去开始一直持续到现在,并可能持续下去。
[5]as引导非限制性定语从句,表示“正如……”。
[6]so as to表示目的,通常不位于句首,相当于in order to或 to。
Yang Liping,dancer
6　Yang Liping’s passion is dancing.After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance,she has been known as the “Peacock Princess”.The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time she spent in Xishuangbanna,Yunnan Province.
7　“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna,” says Yang.“It gave me a chance to go deeper into the lives of various ethnic groups...Our ethnic groups,especially the Dai people,admire the peacock.They think the peacock represents the beauty of nature.I especially like the dance style of the Dai people and it gives me lots of inspiration.My dance comes from their traditional belief and aims to bring out the Dai women’s beauty.”

[参考译文]　　　　　 是什么启发了你
每位艺术家的愿望都是创作出能表达思想的东西,但是他们的想法从何而来呢 谁,或者说是什么赋予他们灵感 在这里,我们将会进一步了解三位截然不同的艺术家成功背后的影响因素。
弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼,视觉艺术家
弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家,他的大型雕塑作品在世界各地进行展出。他的灵感来源之一就是他的孩子们的玩具。这些物品带给他创作动物雕塑的灵感,如赫赫有名的《大黄鸭》。他最近的作品——体形巨大的《浮鱼》,陈列于风景如画的乌镇西栅景区。
霍夫曼创作《浮鱼》的灵感源自世代相传的中国民间故事。他对鲤鱼跃“龙门”的古老故事特别感兴趣。当霍夫曼参观乌镇,看到当地居民的生活方式时,这个故事在他的心中变得鲜活起来。
“在镇上散步和逗留期间,我看到人们在喂鱼。你还可以看到一些雕刻在墙上的鱼。”这些景象激发了霍夫曼对《浮鱼》的想法。
谭盾,作曲家
“音乐没有国界。”中国作曲家谭盾这样说。他最广为人知的作品是为电影《卧虎藏龙》和2008年北京奥运会作曲。
聆听谭盾的音乐,就是体验中国音乐传统和西方影响因素的融合。自其首部歌剧大作《九歌》以来,谭盾一直以中国音乐和全球音乐风格相结合的方式来讲述故事。正如谭盾曾经说的,中国音乐应该承载人类精神的“普遍表达”,以便得到全世界的认可。
杨丽萍,舞者
杨丽萍对舞蹈充满了热爱。1986 年,她凭借舞蹈《雀之灵》赢得了一场国家级比赛,自此便被称为“孔雀公主”。她这些著名舞蹈的灵感源自她在云南省西双版纳度过的时光。
“我非常感激在西双版纳的那段岁月,”杨丽萍说,“它让我有机会深入了解不同族群的生活……我们的族群,尤其是傣族人,非常喜爱孔雀。他们认为孔雀代表着自然之美。我尤其喜欢傣族人的舞蹈风格,这给了我许多灵感。我的舞蹈源自他们的传统信念,旨在展现傣族女性的美。”

In 2019,an unassuming package arrived at my front door.Inside was a 2-by-4-foot scrapbook (剪贴簿) filled with precious candy wrappers over 70 years old.Why was it sent to me I’m the founder of the Candy Wrapper Museum,my online “roadside attraction”.
I was 15 years old when I started collecting.At that time many friends had cool collections like beer bottles.I wanted to start my own,but of what I usually spent my few coins on candies.The candy shelves were a wonderland of tasty treats with colorful wrappers and names.
Then inspiration struck.Instead of throwing the wrappers away,I would save them.I would create the Candy Wrapper Museum,where I imagined that they would one day be enjoyed as art and humor after I retire.
In 2002,inspiration struck again.Why wait until retirement Why not open the museum right now on the Internet,the ultimate “superhighway”
Building the online museum was a massive six-month,one-person project.First,I sorted roughly 650 of my favorite wrappers into themes such as:Celebrities,Classics,Holidays,Big Eats,and No Fun.I scanned everything that was flat,photographed the rest,scanned the prints,cleaned all the now-digital images,then wrote light-hearted comments to provide each visitor with my personal tour.Then,I bought a book on how to write HTML and built the site myself.
When it was launched in 2002,I had no expectations.Would anyone even be interested in this strange hobby To my surprise,without any promotion,the site went viral (走红),even getting selected as “Funny Site of the Week”.
The sudden burst of popularity inspired some comments,like,“A candy wrapper museum Now we’ve heard everything.” But mostly people wrote in to thank me,sharing how the sight of a long-gone favorite candy bar reminded them of their childhood memories.
This is when I knew I was doing something important.We think of collections as “things”,but we also collect special moments that may not stay front of mind,but never fade from our hearts.To this day people turn to me,hoping I can help uncover connections to cherished memories around candies from their past.

In 1835,William Talbot finally succeeded in producing a photograph of his country house.He declared that his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture.The drawing was formed “by the action of light upon sensitive paper.” Photography offered nature a “pencil” to paint herself through optical (光学的) and chemical means alone.
By the mid-nineteenth century,people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw detailed images because the process could be completed instantly with a camera.Advocates for the technology stated that not only was it more precise than the human hand—it was faster and cheaper.
The removal of human fallibility in the creating process was one of photography’s biggest selling points,but this also started debates about the new medium’s implications for visual culture.Could images made largely by a machine be considered art If so,where did human creativity fit in this process
As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated (自动化的),more and more people attempt to identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world.Images generated with artificial intelligence by companies like OpenAI,are stimulating questions like those that emerged with the coming of the photograph.By typing a sentence,users can generate “new” images composed from images collected across the Internet.The result has been a flood of AI-generated images in places that are previously unique to human authors.Painting competitions,commercial graphic design and the fashion of portraiture (肖像) have all since collided with the technology in troubling ways.
The fine arts were thought to be a final hold-out of human creativity,but the surprisingly high quality of AI-generated images is producing deeper questions about the nature of originality.If the history of photography tells us anything,it’s that the debate won’t be settled quickly,straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate with cultural gatekeeping.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能可以代替人类进行作画,其出现引起了人们的讨论,类似于当初摄影的出现。
8.Why did Talbot declare that his house had drawn its own picture
A.To downplay human factors in the creation.
B.To investigate a supernatural phenomenon.
C.To show his advanced knowledge in science.
D.To demonstrate the beauty of his country house.
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段“He declared that his was...and chemical means alone.”可知,塔尔博特宣称他的房子画了自己的画是为了淡化创作中的人为因素,故选A项。
√
9.What does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The photo of Talbot’s house. B.The image by a draftsman.
C.The technology of a camera. D.The paper sensitive to light.
解析　代词指代题。根据第二段“By the mid-nineteenth century...completed instantly with a camera.”以及画线词后文“more precise than the human hand—it was faster and cheaper”可推知,照相机的技术不仅比人手更精确,而且更快、更便宜。故画线词指的是“照相机的技术”,故选C项。
√
10.What do OpenAI and cameras have in common
A.They improve the taste of beauty.
B.They advocate fashion designs.
C.They challenge human agency.
D.They produce original images.
解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As the twenty-first century becomes...with the coming of the photograph.”可知,OpenAI和相机的共同之处在于都挑战了人类的作用,故选C项。
√
11.What did the author indicate by referring to the history of photography
A.Cultural gatekeepers will solve the issue as they did.
B.AI-generated images will go through a similar debate.
C.The nature of originality will be held in human hands.
D.The fine arts will include photography and AI images.
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“If the history of photography...associate with cultural gatekeeping.”可知,作者提到摄影的历史是想说明人工智能生成的图像将经历类似的争论,故选B项。
√
Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Creativity is everywhere.We see it in the architecture of our buildings,the design of everyday objects like our phones,the clothes we wear,and the music we listen to.Being creative is enjoyable and productive.__1__ So what can you practically do to help develop your creativity
Practice is crucial.One person who showed its importance was the artist Pablo Picasso.He is famous for creating daring new painting styles,but it wasn’t by accident.He spent years experimenting with the traditional rules of art.__2___
Another way you can stimulate your creativity is by learning from others in your field.You can gain new insights and techniques by studying the works of other artists,designers,or professionals.__3__ Additionally,interacting with fellow creatives can provide valuable feedback and support,helping you to grow and develop your skills.
Creative people are also usually working in a field they love.They are generally more motivated by a love of what they do,rather than money.__4__ Then enjoyment becomes the reward,which in turn motivates you to keep being creative.If you know your field inside out you will have the confidence to take risks and allow your creativity to blossom.
__5__ From techniques that allow your mind to think more originally,to learning from past creative masters,there are practical ways to help you use your imagination to create something original.If you direct your energy thoughtfully,you can learn to be more creative.
A.Don’t hesitate to unlock your own creativity.
B.This can involve attending workshops or reading books.
C.Creativity is the engine that drives progress in every field.
D.For some of us it comes naturally but others might need help.
E.Creativity isn’t just for the arts,but can be applied in all areas of life.
F.Thus,choose a field you enjoy rather than something you feel you ought to do.
G.Eventually he produced ground-breaking works like Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.
