Evelyn Glennie is a unique musician.She is a percussionist （打击乐手） who plays with classical orchestras.When she performs， she hits the gongs， snare drums， vibraphones， timbales， cymbals， conga drums， bells， and bass drums that are in front of her.Although classical musicians usually wear formal clothes in concert， Glennie performs in bare feet.What really sets her apart， though， is that she is a musician who can not hear.Glennie has been almost totally deaf since she was 12 years old.Despite being deaf， she has become the first solo star to play her type of percussion instruments in classical music.
Glennie was born in Aberdeen， Scotland.At the age of eight， she started taking piano lessons.She found that she preferred the drums， so she began to concentrate on other percussion instruments.Her doctors were never able to find out why she started to lose her hearing.By the time Glennie was 12， most of her hearing was gone.Glennie stayed in her school and learned to read lips.She also continued her music lessons.She learned how to play percussion instruments by using her sense of touch.She learned to feel the difference between high and low notes.She became very sensitive to the vibrations created by different sounds.Glennie took off her shoes to make it easier for her to feel the vibrations made by her instruments.
Glennie was very talented.At 16 she was accepted to the Royal Academy of Music in London， England.She was the music school’s first solo percussion student， graduating when she was 19.To build her career， she performed anywhere she could.There was very little solo music written for her instruments， so she asked for percussion music to be written for her.She then performed the new pieces in her solo concerts.Glennie attracted attention by performing in radio and television concerts.One 1988 concert was recorded live and made into a CD.This recording earned Glennie her first Grammy Award for a classical music performance.
Today Glennie performs all around the world.In addition to classical orchestras， she plays with folk musicians and rock stars.She has written music for movies， television shows， and commercials.Every year more new compositions are written for Glennie to perform.She has even taken up a new instrument： the bagpipes.Glennie considers herself a pioneer in music， not because she is deaf but because she has become a solo percussion star in classical music.

The exhibit， Digital Dunhuang — Tales of Heaven and Earth， which was held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum， brought to Hong Kong more than 100 exhibits including the visual murals （壁画） and other related programs that could allow visitors to learn about the art and history of the Mogao Caves in a fun way.
“Dunhuang was an international city， a place where East met West， on the old Silk Road.So the Mogao Caves， which were completed in a period of over 1，000 years， record the ways of life and beliefs of the different peoples that crossed paths there，” explained Fion Lin of Hong Kong Heritage Museum.
Visitors can now get up close and personal with these faraway treasures without having to step into the caves， thanks to the digitization project of the Dunhuang Academy， a pioneer that has made great progress in the digitization and 3D scanning of the Dunhuang treasures.
“Studies have shown that in a cave， both temperature and CO2 concentration level can rise with 15 tourists inside for ten minutes.As a result， the wall paintings are going to eventually fade.Digital technology has helped to strike a balance between sharing the treasures and protecting them，” said Lin.
However， digitization of the caves faces many challenges such as poor lighting and rough wall surfaces.On average， 40，000 pictures have to be taken to cover 300 m2.Great amounts of efforts have been made to piece the pictures together.What the exhibition presented is the result of years of hard work.
During the exhibition period， a mini display on Dunhuang music culture was also being held at the museum for public participation.
5.What could visitors see at the Digital Dunhuang exhibit？
A.The Mogao Caves.
B.About 40，000 Dunhuang pictures.
C.Digital Dunhuang wall paintings.
D.Ancient records of Dunhuang.
6.What is the significance of the digitization project of the Dunhuang Academy？
A.It helps Dunhuang become an international city.
B.It lets people better appreciate the Dunhuang art.
C.It is effective in cutting the CO2 level in the caves.
D.It attracts more tourists from East and West to Hong Kong.
7.What do we know about the Dunhuang wall paintings？
A.They are brightly lit.
B.They are very rough.
C.It is very hard to protect them.
D.It is impossible for the tourists to see them.
8.Where can you find the evidence that supports “digitization of the caves isn’t easy”？
A.In Paragraph 2. B.In Paragraph 3.
C.In Paragraph 4. D.In Paragraph 5.

In August， Jason M.Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial” — which he created with AI image generator Midjourney — won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition.The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.
Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what， exactly， it means to be an artist and whether AI can truly make art.“It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics，” one Twitter user wrote.“Exciting times ahead for the world of art and innovation！” another tweeted.
Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush， there was plenty of work involved， he said.First， he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets， in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes.Over time， with many slight changes to his written instructions， he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image.Then he improved the picture’s quality through Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.
Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention.“Rather than hating on the technology， we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward，” Allen said.
Cal Duran， one of the judges for the competition， said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI， he didn’t realize that when judging it.Still， he sticks by his decision to award it first place.“I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way，” he said.
9.What do we know about Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition？
A.It was held for well-established artists.
B.It welcomed digital technology use.
C.It had a division for AI art pieces.
D.It was funded by Midjourney.
10.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3？
A.Allen finished part of the drawing by hand.
B.Changes of description led to different results.
C.Allen’s attempt achieved immediate success.
D.Gigapixel AI transferred words into pictures.
11.What was Cal Duran’s opinion on AI use in Art？
A.It will replace artists in the near future.
B.It becomes a popular tool among artists.
C.It is widely criticized by Twitter users.
D.It makes art more accessible to people.
12.What is the passage mainly about？
A.A famous art competition.
B.The trend of AI use in arts.
C.The winning of an AI-driven picture.
D.Start-up photographers’ innovation.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Adele’s new album， “30”， is finally available.Last month， hundreds of millions of us streamed its first single， Easy On Me.This song arouses feelings not easily put into words， but we can probably agree it is a sad song. 13 Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.
Let’s start with a biological theory.When we experience real-life loss， or empathize （产生共鸣） with another’s pain， certain hormones are released within us. 14 They do so by making us feel calmed and supported.Feeling Adele’s pain， or recalling our own， may cause such chemical changes within us.
15 Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to other people.Indeed， when we have listened to “30”， we may turn to reaction videos to see how others feel.This lets us share an emotional experience with others.And it boosts our feeling of being moved and triggers （激发） feelings of comfort and belonging.
We can also think at the spiritual level.Adele’s songs allow us to view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make.Adele takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them.This is what sad art does. 16 As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once put it， someone who has a why to live for can bear almost anyhow.
Ultimately， we listen to Adele’s songs when we want to recall， reflect， or belong.They let us feel her sadness， share our suffering， and connect with others.To all of us， Adele’s songs say： 17
A.These help us to deal with loss and pain.
B.You are not alone in your pain.
C.Life is meaningless without sad music.
D.This may make us better prepared for when real loss strikes.
E.It takes the pain and suffering of the world and gives it meaning.
F.Few people are aware sad music makes us feel good.
G.Psychologically， a key reason we enjoy sad songs is that they profoundly move us.

艺术与科技
说到“艺术”，你会想到什么？是卢浮宫里希腊或罗马的雕塑？抑或是故宫博物院里的中国画？又也许，仅仅是也许，是一片舞动的光影？
美国艺术家珍妮特·艾克曼创作了一系列艺术品，晚上将其点亮时，它们就像七彩浮云。其中在温哥华展出的那一件，人们不仅可以欣赏，甚至可以与之互动。人们可以通过操作自己的手机改变它的颜色和图案。像这样的展览品，毋庸置疑，是新潮的激动人心之作。然而，这些真的可以算是艺术吗？
无论你的看法如何，人们数千年来一直在用艺术表达自己的思想和理念。为此，人们使用了各种各样的工具和技术。然而，米开朗基罗等人一直被称为“艺术家”而非“能工巧匠”。这就意味着艺术和科技一直被看作两个截然不同的领域。
然而如今，科技的进步使得艺术与之结合。因此，艺术界正在发生巨大的变化。现在，我们比以往任何时候都更容易接触艺术。例如，中国宋朝的传世名画之一《清明上河图》，因其极少被展出，人们有时要排队等上六个小时才有机会一睹其容。即使面对画卷，由于这幅画卷长达五米，人们也只有有限的时间来欣赏画面上汴京汴河沿岸的景色。然而，在科技的帮助下，已经有数百万人得以观摩这幅画作的数字化版本了。利用3D动画技术，观赏者可以看到画中的人物四处走动并与周围环境互动。他们甚至还可以看到从白天到夜晚画中不同场景的变化。
艺术与科技的结合同样改变着我们对“艺术”和“艺术家”这两个概念的理解。我们不仅可以与艺术作品互动，还可以参与艺术作品的创作。通过触手可得的新兴科技工具，越来越多的人开始发掘自己创新的一面，数字绘画、视频等激动人心的新型艺术形式应运而生。
然而，艺术作品在数量和种类上的增加同时带来了整体质量上的问题。将一个人切西红柿的视频慢动作播放，真的可以被称作“艺术”吗？
同样，这种发展也模糊了艺术与科技的边界。那些并不熟悉传统艺术工具的人真的可以自诩为“艺术家”吗？艺术家到底是艺术本身的创造者，还是艺术背后技术的创造者？最近有一个科研项目用科技手段和数据还原了伦勃朗的绘画方式。最终，通过3D打印技术，在这位艺术家去世347年后，一幅全新的“伦勃朗画作”诞生了。也许，这些先进的技术正带领我们走进一个由电脑而非人类创造艺术的时代。
科技将会推动艺术发展至何种地步，我们不得而知。但唯一确定的是：随着众多艺术家探索全新的可能性，我们一定可以期待意外的惊喜。

ART & TECHNOLOGY
Think “art”.What comes to your mind①？ Is it Greek or Roman
sculptures in the Louvre， or Chinese paintings in the Palace
Museum？ Or maybe， just maybe， it’s a dancing pattern② of
lights？
The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like
colourful floating clouds [1]when they are lit up③ at night.Visitors to
one of her artworks in Vancouver could not only enjoy looking at it，
they could also interact with④ it — literally⑤.They did this by using
their phones to change its colours and patterns.Exhibits⑥ such as these
are certainly new and exciting， but are they really art？

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 paintings from
the Song Dynasty ， Along the River During the Qingming
Festival.[4]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 however，
millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of
this painting.Three-dimensional（3D） animation means [5]that
viewers can see the characters move around and interact with their

Similarly， such developments are making the line between art

recent project used technology and data in the same way [10]that
Rembrandt used his paints and brushes.The end result， [11]printed

【参考译文】
艺术与科技
说到“艺术”，你会想到什么？是卢浮宫里希腊或罗马的雕
塑？抑或是故宫博物院里的中国画？又也许，仅仅是也许，是一
片舞动的光影？
美国艺术家珍妮特·艾克曼创作了一系列艺术品，晚上将其点亮
时，它们就像七彩浮云。其中在温哥华展出的那一件，人们不仅可以
欣赏，甚至可以与之互动。人们可以通过操作自己的手机改变它的颜
色和图案。像这样的展览品，毋庸置疑，是新潮的激动人心之作。然
而，这些真的可以算是艺术吗？
无论你的看法如何，人们数千年来一直在用艺术表达自己的思想
和理念。为此，人们使用了各种各样的工具和技术。然而，米开朗基
罗等人一直被称为“艺术家”而非“能工巧匠”。这就意味着艺术和科技
一直被看作两个截然不同的领域。
然而如今，科技的进步使得艺术与之结合。因此，艺术界正在发
生巨大的变化。现在，我们比以往任何时候都更容易接触艺术。例
如，中国宋朝的传世名画之一《清明上河图》，因其极少被展出，人
们有时要排队等上六个小时才有机会一睹其容。即使面对画卷，由于
这幅画卷长达五米，人们也只有有限的时间来欣赏画面上汴京汴河沿
岸的景色。然而，在科技的帮助下，已经有数百万人得以观摩这幅画
作的数字化版本了。利用3D动画技术，观赏者可以看到画中的人物
四处走动并与周围环境互动。他们甚至还可以看到从白天到夜晚画中
不同场景的变化。
艺术与科技的结合同样改变着我们对“艺术”和“艺术家”这两个概
念的理解。我们不仅可以与艺术作品互动，还可以参与艺术作品的创
作。通过触手可得的新兴科技工具，越来越多的人开始发掘自己创新
的一面，数字绘画、视频等激动人心的新型艺术形式应运而生。
然而，艺术作品在数量和种类上的增加同时带来了整体质量
上的问题。将一个人切西红柿的视频慢动作播放，真的可以被称
作“艺术”吗？
同样，这种发展也模糊了艺术与科技的边界。那些并不熟悉传统
艺术工具的人真的可以自诩为“艺术家”吗？艺术家到底是艺术本身的
创造者，还是艺术背后技术的创造者？最近有一个科研项目用科技手
段和数据还原了伦勃朗的绘画方式。最终，通过3D打印技术，在这
位艺术家去世347年后，一幅全新的“伦勃朗画作”诞生了。也许，这
些先进的技术正带领我们走进一个由电脑而非人类创造艺术的时代。
科技将会推动艺术发展至何种地步，我们不得而知。但唯一确定
的是：随着众多艺术家探索全新的可能性，我们一定可以期待意外的
惊喜。

A
Evelyn Glennie is a unique musician.She is a percussionist （打击
乐手） who plays with classical orchestras.When she performs， she
hits the gongs， snare drums， vibraphones， timbales， cymbals，
conga drums， bells， and bass drums that are in front of
her.Although classical musicians usually wear formal clothes in
concert， Glennie performs in bare feet.What really sets her apart，
though， is that she is a musician who can not hear.Glennie has been
almost totally deaf since she was 12 years old.Despite being deaf， she
has become the first solo star to play her type of percussion
instruments in classical music.
Glennie was born in Aberdeen， Scotland.At the age of eight，
she started taking piano lessons.She found that she preferred the
drums， so she began to concentrate on other percussion
instruments.Her doctors were never able to find out why she started to
lose her hearing.By the time Glennie was 12， most of her hearing was
gone.Glennie stayed in her school and learned to read lips.She also
continued her music lessons.She learned how to play percussion
instruments by using her sense of touch.She learned to feel the
difference between high and low notes.She became very sensitive to the
vibrations created by different sounds.Glennie took off her shoes to
make it easier for her to feel the vibrations made by her instruments.
Glennie was very talented.At 16 she was accepted to the Royal
Academy of Music in London， England.She was the music school’s
first solo percussion student， graduating when she was 19.To build
her career， she performed anywhere she could.There was very little
solo music written for her instruments， so she asked for percussion
music to be written for her.She then performed the new pieces in her
solo concerts.Glennie attracted attention by performing in radio and
television concerts.One 1988 concert was recorded live and made into a
CD. This recording earned Glennie her first Grammy Award for a
classical music performance.

classical orchestras， she plays with folk musicians and rock stars.She
has written music for movies， television shows， and
commercials.Every year more new compositions are written for
Glennie to perform.She has even taken up a new instrument： the
bagpipes.Glennie considers herself a pioneer in music， not because
she is deaf but because she has become a solo percussion star in
classical music.

The exhibit， Digital Dunhuang — Tales of Heaven and Earth，
which was held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum， brought to
Hong Kong more than 100 exhibits including the visual murals （壁
画） and other related programs that could allow visitors to learn
about the art and history of the Mogao Caves in a fun way.
“Dunhuang was an international city， a place where East met
West， on the old Silk Road.So the Mogao Caves， which were
completed in a period of over 1，000 years， record the ways of life
and beliefs of the different peoples that crossed paths there，”
explained Fion Lin of Hong Kong Heritage Museum.
Visitors can now get up close and personal with these faraway
treasures without having to step into the caves， thanks to the
digitization project of the Dunhuang Academy， a pioneer that has
made great progress in the digitization and 3D scanning of the
Dunhuang treasures.
“Studies have shown that in a cave， both temperature and CO2
concentration level can rise with 15 tourists inside for ten minutes.As a
result， the wall paintings are going to eventually fade.Digital
technology has helped to strike a balance between sharing the
treasures and protecting them，” said Lin.
However， digitization of the caves faces many challenges such as
poor lighting and rough wall surfaces.On average， 40，000 pictures
have to be taken to cover 300 m2.Great amounts of efforts have been
made to piece the pictures together.What the exhibition presented is
the result of years of hard work.
During the exhibition period， a mini display on Dunhuang music
culture was also being held at the museum for public participation.

In August， Jason M. Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial” —
which he created with AI image generator Midjourney — won first
place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography”
category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition.The
definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that
use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.
Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what，
exactly， it means to be an artist and whether AI can truly make
art.“It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots
participate in the Olympics，” one Twitter user wrote.“Exciting times
ahead for the world of art and innovation！” another tweeted.
Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush， there was plenty of
work involved， he said.First， he played around with phrasing that
led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and
space helmets， in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with
space themes.Over time， with many slight changes to his written
instructions， he created 900 different versions of what led to his final
image.Then he improved the picture’s quality through Gigapixel AI
and finally had the images printed.
Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art
is attracting so much attention.“Rather than hating on the
technology， we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it
for good so we can all move forward，” Allen said.
Cal Duran， one of the judges for the competition， said that
while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI， he didn’t realize that
when judging it.Still， he sticks by his decision to award it first
place.“I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people
who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way，” he
said.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Adele’s new album， “30”， is finally available.Last month，
hundreds of millions of us streamed its first single， Easy On Me.This
song arouses feelings not easily put into words， but we can probably
agree it is a sad song. 13 Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us
up.
Let’s start with a biological theory.When we experience real-life
loss， or empathize （产生共鸣） with another’s pain， certain
hormones are released within us. 14 They do so by making us feel
calmed and supported.Feeling Adele’s pain， or recalling our own，
may cause such chemical changes within us.
15 Feeling moved can come from us suddenly feeling closer to
other people.Indeed， when we have listened to “30”， we may turn to
reaction videos to see how others feel.This lets us share an emotional
experience with others.And it boosts our feeling of being moved and
triggers （激发） feelings of comfort and belonging.
We can also think at the spiritual level.Adele’s songs allow us to
view the pleasure in terms of the meaning she helps us make.Adele
takes hard life experiences and makes sense of them.This is what sad
art does. 16 As philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once put it，
someone who has a why to live for can bear almost anyhow.
Ultimately， we listen to Adele’s songs when we want to recall，
reflect， or belong.They let us feel her sadness， share our suffering，
and connect with others.To all of us， Adele’s songs say： 17
A. These help us to deal with loss and pain.
B. You are not alone in your pain.
C. Life is meaningless without sad music.
D. This may make us better prepared for when real loss strikes.
E. It takes the pain and suffering of the world and gives it meaning.
F. Few people are aware sad music makes us feel good.
G. Psychologically， a key reason we enjoy sad songs is that they
profoundly move us.

实能让我们振作起来的原因。
13. F 空后一句Yet sad music does pull us in and lift us up.转折的语
义说明，人们没有意识到悲伤音乐的积极作用。F项引领下文，说明
很少有人知道悲伤音乐的积极性。
14. A 空前一句说明在失落或痛苦时，体内会释放某些激素，A项承
接上文，说明这些激素能帮助处理失落和痛苦。A项中loss和pain和空
前一句词汇复现，语义一致。
15. G 下文解释说明被打动的感觉是怎样产生的。G项说明喜欢悲伤
歌曲的关键原因是它们深深打动我们，引领下文，作出解释。G项中
的move us和空后一句中的Feeling moved语义相关。
16. E 上文说明悲伤歌曲使苦难变得有意义。E项对上文进一步解释
说明。
17. B 上文说明悲伤歌曲能够使我们分享痛苦，使悲伤的不再是一个
人。B项正是Adele的歌（悲伤歌曲）所表达的。
