Young couple revives a centuries-old furnace (熔炉), blending inherited craft with contemporary ceramic design.
In Shekeng village in Sanming city, Fujian province, the smoke curling from a pottery kiln (窑) has borne silent witness to the passage of time. The kiln, standing for more than 200 years, now breathes with renewed vitality with the care of a couple born in the 1990s.
Returning to their roots, Wu Zejian and Ma Jingwen have taken up the responsibility not only to safeguard an ancient craft but to rekindle its potential through modern design, allowing the fire of the kiln to glow with contemporary resonance.
A graduate from the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts, Wu holds a firm belief that the kiln’s fire burning in his family will never die out. His ambition is to build a brand that channels new energy and relevance into this age-old craft through thoughtful, modern design.
As the inheritor of the family craft, Wu stays true to tradition, using local clay and raw mineral glazes. His father, Wu Yusong, provides invaluable guidance shaped by decades of hands-on experience.
While Wu Zejian lights the fire for a new batch of ceramics, Ma brings psychological insight and contemporary sensibilities into product design. Focusing on coarse pottery and ash-glazed products, they emphasize craftsmanship and design.
“We want to give each piece a soul and a story. Through a touching phrase or a unique design, an ordinary cup can become an emotional vessel, a spiritual symbol for its user,” Ma says.
Through branding and innovative design, the couple aims to make their brand a cultural landmark that fosters a sense of identity and connection among users.
Looking ahead, they hope the millennium-old kiln fire will illuminate broader horizons. As newly fired porcelain (瓷) emerges from the kiln, the couple’s blueprint for the future grows increasingly clear.
24. What motivated the couple to return to their hometown
A. To learn elders’ traditional skills.
B. To revive ancient craft in new ways.
C. To brand their ceramics.
D. To carry on the family craft as inheritors.
25. What is Wu Zejian’s specific role in the kiln’s revival
A. Using psychology in product design.
B. Handling the brand’s marketing.
C. Firing ceramics and keeping old ways.
D. Specializing in coarse pottery.
26. What is the couple’s design philosophy
A. Creating cultural landmarks via branding.
B. Using touching words and unique designs.
C. Fostering users’ sense of identity.
D. Enriching daily objects with deeper meaning.
27. This text is mainly written to ______.
A. record the history of an old kiln
B. argue for the protection of old crafts
C. teach readers how to make pottery
D. present a couple’s revival of an old tradition
C
As AI art generators(生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be
AI art involves a program mimicking(模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user And can the original artists sue for copyright(版权) violation Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize
28. What does the underlined word "flaws" in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Benefits. B. Advances. C. Weaknesses. D. Standards.
29. How is AI art different from human art
A. It is the product of experience.
B. It costs less money to produce.
C. It combines different styles of work.
D. It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.
30. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph
A. To prove the popularity of classic artworks.
B. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
31. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.
B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI.
D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
D
You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒） from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
32. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for
A. Beautifying the city he lives in.
B. Introducing eco-friendly products.
C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D. Reducing garbage on the beach.
33. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art.
D. To find a substitute for them.
34. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A. Calming. B. Disturbing. C. Refreshing. D. Challenging.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety
B. Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C. Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D. Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
