Art historians, are often asked to authenticate (鉴定) art with their knowledge of the subject and science and technology.The materials used in the painting are often analyzed and X­rayed.Now, art historians may have another technological tool to help their process.Scientists have developed a new authentication technique that analyzes and sorts out paintings based on a digital analysis of the artist's style. The digital authentication technique takes scans of art work that have already been authenticated as being from a master artist.From these scans, it creates a statistical model of the artist's work: a baseline.New paintings can be compared to the baseline to find consistencies and inconsistencies in an artist's work.The images of the two paintings reveal what the human eye could not see.When the analysis recognizes this difference, the fakes are found out.In an experiment, the model automatically grouped together the eight authenticated works, separating them from five imitations. However, some art historians held some different views on the new technique.“It's an interesting idea.But I think a much larger sample of work has to be tested，” said Nadine Oberstein, head of an art museum in New York.If the technology turns out to be accurate, she added, it could be used to add to the expertise of scholars. Most importantly, Hany Farid, a computer scientist says, “Such a method could be used to determine whether more than one person or hand was involved in creating a painting”.Using his model, Farid studied the faces of six individual characters in the painting Madonna with Child.Three of the faces proved to be statistically similar, while the three other faces were all different.This indicates that at least four hands contributed to the painting.“If further studies prove convincingly that this computer program effectively distinguishes between different artistic hands, it will lead to a whole new era in the study of the workshop practice of artists.” said Farid. 4.Why are scientists developing the new technique? A.To create digital copies of famous paintings. B.To improve the process of art authentication. C.To make displays more interactive for visitors. D.To replace art historians in authenticating works. 5.How does the digital authentication technique work? A.By analyzing materials. B.By identifying style patterns. C.By X­raying a baseline. D.By comparing to a statistical model. 6.What is Nadine's attitude towards the new technique? A.Enthusiastic.　　　　　 B.Indifferent. C.Doubtful. D.Optimistic. 7.What can the new technique tell about a painting? A.The painter of the masterpiece. B.The materials used in the painting. C.The time period in which the painting was created. D.The number of painters involved in creating the painting.

Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese paintings in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it's a dancing pattern of lights? 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? 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 (贴标签) as “artists”， but not “technicians”.This means that art and technology, have always been seen as two very separate things. 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.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.Three­dimensional (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. The art­tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”.Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation.With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people are exploring their creative sides.The result has been exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, where technology will take art next is anyone's guess.But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected. 8.What's the function of the first paragraph? A.To explain the art.　　　　 B.To introduce the topic. C.To give the background. D.To give a definition. 9.Why is “Michelangelo” referred to in the third paragraph? A.To show he is a famous artist. B.To show he is also a technician. C.To show art is different from technology. D.To show art is the same as technology. 10.What's mainly talked about in the passage? A.The history of technology and art. B.The relation of technology and art. C.The future of technology and art. D.The examples of technology and art. 11.What can we know about the author's attitude to the combination of art and technology ? A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Doubtful. D.Uncertain.
