1 How many artworks did you see
2 What methods did they use to create the artworks
3 Do you think technology can be considered a form of art
People create paintings with pencils, paper and paint, and create photographic artworks with cameras.
Cameras are more accurate and faster, they are the invention of human beings as well as the fruit of our inspiration. However, when people paint with their hands, they are perhaps getting more satisfaction from their hard work. Therefore, when traditional ways of painting or modern photography co-exist with technology, the combination is one that promises great possibilities, as well as surprises.
We can see dozens of artworks.

Read paragraph 2 and answer the question
Why does author mention the work of Janet Echelman in para 2
To introduce the topic
To prove the writer’s opinions
To arouse readers’ interests
To ask readers’ opinions
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colourful floating clouds when they are lit up at night. Visitors to one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it, they could also interact with it-literally. They did this by using their phones to change its colours and patterns. Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art

Read paragraph 3 and answer the question
How does the writer prove art and technology have always been seen
as different
By explaining their differences
By quoting words of celebrity(名人)
By telling what Michelangelo and others are called
By interacting with the readers
Michelangelo(米开朗基罗)
哀悼基督
最后的审判
Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts and ideas through art for thousands of years. To do this, they have used a variety of tools and technologies. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as “artists” rather than “technicians”. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.

Read paragraph 4 and answer the question
Which of following is Not the way technology and art combine together in Along the River During the Qingming Festival
Visitors can experience its digital version in 3D
It is more accessible to people
Visitors can spend more time seeing it than before.
People have to queue for hours to appreciate it
Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. Take for example one of China’s most famous painting from the Song Dynasty, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued up to six hours for a chance to see it. Once in front of the painting, they only have limited time to spend taking
in its five metres of scenes along the Bian River in Bianjing. Thanks to technology, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of this painting. 3D animation means that viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their surroundings. They can also watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime.

What’s the key argument the para 7 aims to discuss
Who can be called an artist
B. What is expected of an artist
C. How is the Rembrant painting in 3D
Will the computer replaces human beings to create art
Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists’ tools really call themselves an “artist” And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it A recent project used technology and data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result, printed in 3D, was a new “Rembrandt painting” created 347 years after the artists’ death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than human create art.

4 Which of the two reading passages in this unit, both about the artists’ inspiration, do you prefer Why
I think with the help of technology, we can create many things, such as modern cars, planes or spaceship.
In my opinion, I prefer to ART & TECHNOLOGY, which can promote people's curiosity to new things and develop people's unlimited imagination. For example, the Bird's Nest and Water Cube built in the National Olympic Sports Center are examples of the integration(融合) of art and technology.
