Here we find out more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists.
以下，我们发现了更多关于三位截然不同的艺术家成功背后的影响。
Florentijn Hofman, visual artist
视觉艺术家弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼
Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch artist, whose large sculptures are on display all over the world.
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。
One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children's toys.
对他来说，找到灵感的其中一种方式是通过孩子们的玩具。
These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures, such as the famous Rubber Duck.
这些物品为他的动物雕塑提供了灵感，比如著名的《橡皮鸭》。
A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish，which was set among the beautiful landscapes of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone.
他最近的作品《浮鱼》，其故事背景发生在乌镇西部风景名胜区。
词句自测 ①Dutch adj. 荷兰的 ②float v. 浮，漂 ③“主(Florentijn Hofman)系(is)表(a Dutch artist)”。whose large sculptures ... the world是非限制性定语从句，从句结构为“主(whose large sculptures)系(are)表(on display)”用来解释说明a Dutch artist；all over the world作地点状语。
Hofman's inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales passed down through the generations.
霍夫曼的作品《浮鱼》的灵感来自于世代相传的中国民间故事。
He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”．
他对鱼跃过“龙门”的古老故事特别感兴趣。
This story came to life for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there.
当霍夫曼在乌镇看到人们是如何生活时，这个故事就显得更加生动了。
“During the walk and my stay here in the town, I saw the fish being fed by people. You see also some fish sculpted on the wall.”
“我在镇上散步和逗留期间，看到人们在喂鱼。你也能看到在墙上雕刻着一些鱼。”
These sights set Hofman's idea for Floating Fish in motion.
这些景象使霍夫曼产生了《浮鱼》的想法。
词句自测 ④folk adj. 民间的，民俗的 ⑤tale n. 故事 ⑥folk__tale 民间故事 ⑦motion n. 动，运动 ⑧set__...__in__motion 使……开始
Tan Dun, composer
作曲家谭盾
“There is no territory in the world of music.” These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun.
“音乐是无边界的。”这是中国作曲家谭盾的话。
He is most widely known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
他最广为人知的是为电影《卧虎藏龙》和2008年北京奥运会作曲。
To listen to Tan's music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences.
听谭盾的音乐可以体验中国传统音乐和西方音乐的融合。
Since his first opera, Nine Songs, Tan Dun has been using a combination of Chinese music and sounds from all over the world to tell stories.
从他的第一部歌剧《九歌》开始，谭盾就一直结合中国音乐和世界各地的声音来讲述故事。
As Tan once said, Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to be recognised by the whole world.
正如谭盾所说，中国音乐应该承载人文精神的“普遍表达”，以得到全世界的认可。
词句自测 ⑨compose v. 作(曲) ⑩crouch v. 蹲下；蹲伏 “主(Tan Dun)谓(has been using)宾(a combination of Chinese music and sounds)”。Since his first opera是介词短语作时间状语；Nine Songs为his first opera的同位语；from all over the world作地点状语；to tell stories作目的状语。
Yang Liping, dancer
舞蹈家杨丽萍
Yang Liping's passion is dancing.
杨丽萍热爱舞蹈。
After winning a national competition in 1986 with her Spirit of the Peacock dance, she has been known as the “Peacock Princess”．
1986 年，她以《雀之灵》赢得了全国比赛，被称为“孔雀公主”。
The inspiration for her famous dances has come from the time she spent in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province.
她这支著名舞蹈的灵感来自于她在云南省西双版纳度过的时光。
“I feel very grateful for the years in Xishuangbanna，” says Yang.
“我很感激在西双版纳度过的那几年，”杨说。
“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.

B
Since Neolithic (新石器时代的) times, sculpture has been considered the privilege of men as it was assumed that women were not suited for the hard manual labor required in sculpting stone, carving wood, or working in metal. It has been only during the twentieth century that women sculptors have been recognized as major artists, and it has been in the United States that women sculptors have shown the greatest originality and creative power. By far the most outstanding of these women is Louise Nevelson, who in the eyes of many critics is the most original female artist alive today. One famous and influential critic Hilton Kramer, said of her work, “For myself, I think Ms Nevelson succeeds where the painters often fail.”
Her works have been compared to the Cubist (立体主义的) constructions of Picasso, the surrealistic (超现实主义的) objects of Miro and the Merzbau of Schwitters. And she would be the first to admit that she has been influenced by all of these, as well as by African sculpture, and by Native American and pre Columbian art. Nevelson says, “I have always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except that it has to pass through a creative mind.”
Using mostly thrown away wooden objects like packing crates, broken pieces of furniture, and abandoned architectural ornaments, she makes architectural constructions of great beauty and power. Creating very freely, she glues and nails objects together, paints them black, or more rarely white or gold, and places them in boxes. These collections, walls, even entire environments create a mysterious, almost awe inspiring atmosphere. Although she has refused to admit any symbolic or religious intention in her works, their three dimensional grandeur (宏伟) and even their titles, such as Sky Cathedral and Night Cathedral, suggest such meanings.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了当今杰出的女性雕塑家Louise Nevelson (路易斯·奈维尔逊)，包括她的创作思想、作品特点和作品意蕴等信息。
4．What can be inferred from Hilton Kramer's comment on Louise Nevelson
A．She has the ability to combine sculpture and painting.
B．Her creativity and originality make her work unique.
C．Her work is so expressive that no painters can compete with her.
D．People turned their interest to sculpture instead of painting due to her talents.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中Hilton Kramer (希尔登·克莱默)的评论“For myself, I think Ms Nevelson succeeds where the painters often fail.(就我个人而言，我认为Nevelson女士成功的地方往往是画家们失败的地方。)”以及该评论之前的“By far the most outstanding ... alive today.(这些女性中最杰出的是Louise Nevelson，在许多评论家眼中，她是当今最具独创性的女艺术家。)”可知，Nevelson的雕塑作品能够展现其他画家画作中无法展示的东西，这是没有创造力和独创性难以达到的艺术成就。由此可推知，Nevelson具有非凡的创造力和独创性，因而她的作品能够独一无二。故选B。
5．About Nevelson's sculptures, the author believes ________．
A．they are uniquely American in style and sensibility
B．they show the influence of twentieth century architecture
C．they do not have qualities characteristic of sculpture
D．they suggest religious and symbolic meanings
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Although she has refused to admit ... suggest such meanings.(尽管她拒绝承认她的作品中有任何象征或宗教的意图，但它们的三维的宏伟甚至它们的名字，如《天空大教堂》和《夜晚大教堂》，都暗示了这种意义。)”可知，作者认为Nevelson的雕塑具有宗教和象征意义。故选D。
6．What might Nevelson's sculptures be like according to the last paragraph
A．They are sometimes very large.
B．They are often painted in several colors.
C．They are meant for display outdoors.
D．They are built around a central wooden object.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“These collections ... suggest such meanings.”可知，Nevelson的雕塑作品具有令人敬畏的氛围，非常宏伟。由此可推知，这些作品应该有时体积非常庞大。故选A。
7．The passage mainly focuses on ________．
A．a general tendency in twentieth century art
B．the artistic influences on women sculptors
C．the work of a particular woman artist
D．critical responses to twentieth century sculpture
答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了当今杰出的女性雕塑家Louise Nevelson，包括她的创作思想、作品特点和作品意蕴。由此可知，文章主要是围绕这位女艺术家的作品展开的。故选C。

B
Since Neolithic (新石器时代的) times, sculpture has been considered the privilege of men as it was assumed that women were not suited for the hard manual labor required in sculpting stone, carving wood, or working in metal. It has been only during the twentieth century that women sculptors have been recognized as major artists, and it has been in the United States that women sculptors have shown the greatest originality and creative power. By far the most outstanding of these women is Louise Nevelson, who in the eyes of many critics is the most original female artist alive today. One famous and influential critic Hilton Kramer, said of her work, “For myself, I think Ms Nevelson succeeds where the painters often fail.”
Her works have been compared to the Cubist (立体主义的) constructions of Picasso, the surrealistic (超现实主义的) objects of Miro and the Merzbau of Schwitters. And she would be the first to admit that she has been influenced by all of these, as well as by African sculpture, and by Native American and pre Columbian art. Nevelson says, “I have always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except that it has to pass through a creative mind.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了当今杰出的女性雕塑家Louise Nevelson (路易斯·奈维尔逊)，包括她的创作思想、作品特点和作品意蕴等信息。
Using mostly thrown away wooden objects like packing crates, broken pieces of furniture, and abandoned architectural ornaments, she makes architectural constructions of great beauty and power. Creating very freely, she glues and nails objects together, paints them black, or more rarely white or gold, and places them in boxes. These collections, walls, even entire environments create a mysterious, almost awe inspiring atmosphere. Although she has refused to admit any symbolic or religious intention in her works, their three dimensional grandeur (宏伟) and even their titles, such as Sky Cathedral and Night Cathedral, suggest such meanings.
4．What can be inferred from Hilton Kramer's comment on Louise Nevelson
A．She has the ability to combine sculpture and painting.
B．Her creativity and originality make her work unique.
C．Her work is so expressive that no painters can compete with her.
D．People turned their interest to sculpture instead of painting due to her talents.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中Hilton Kramer (希尔登·克莱默)的评论“For myself, I think Ms Nevelson succeeds where the painters often fail.(就我个人而言，我认为Nevelson女士成功的地方往往是画家们失败的地方。)”以及该评论之前的“By far the most outstanding ... alive today.(这些女性中最杰出的是Louise Nevelson，在许多评论家眼中，她是当今最具独创性的女艺术家。)”可知，Nevelson的雕塑作品能够展现其他画家画作中无法展示的东西，这是没有创造力和独创性难以达到的艺术成就。由此可推知，Nevelson具有非凡的创造力和独创性，因而她的作品能够独一无二。故选B。
5．About Nevelson's sculptures, the author believes ________．
A．they are uniquely American in style and sensibility
B．they show the influence of twentieth century architecture
C．they do not have qualities characteristic of sculpture
D．they suggest religious and symbolic meanings
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Although she has refused to admit ... suggest such meanings.(尽管她拒绝承认她的作品中有任何象征或宗教的意图，但它们的三维的宏伟甚至它们的名字，如《天空大教堂》和《夜晚大教堂》，都暗示了这种意义。)”可知，作者认为Nevelson的雕塑具有宗教和象征意义。故选D。
6．What might Nevelson's sculptures be like according to the last paragraph
A．They are sometimes very large.
B．They are often painted in several colors.
C．They are meant for display outdoors.
D．They are built around a central wooden object.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“These collections ... suggest such meanings.”可知，Nevelson的雕塑作品具有令人敬畏的氛围，非常宏伟。由此可推知，这些作品应该有时体积非常庞大。故选A。
7．The passage mainly focuses on ________．
A．a general tendency in twentieth century art
B．the artistic influences on women sculptors
C．the work of a particular woman artist
D．critical responses to twentieth century sculpture
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了当今杰出的女性雕塑家Louise Nevelson，包括她的创作思想、作品特点和作品意蕴。由此可知，文章主要是围绕这位女艺术家的作品展开的。故选C。
