Ⅰ.阅读理解
Every year, millions of people head to London's Trafalgar Square to see Nelson's Column, and the four lion statues that “guard” it. And last month, during the London Design Festival, a bright red lion sculpture was added to the collection.
But this was more than just a statue: It had a large open mouth, with an LED screen inside it. At the same time, passersby could type in random words on a screen close to the lion, which were used to produce an AIcreated poem. The most interesting part of the poems lies in their randomness , as the words that people choose to enter include many things, such as the time, the weather and their mood. In the daytime, the finished poem appeared on the LED screen, but at night, it was projected (投射)onto the lion's body and the famous Nelson's Column, in a lovely light display.
Es Devlin, the sculpture's creator, was inspired by the history behind the four historic lion statues. Edwin Landseer, the designer of the lions, wanted them to look much more animated, but Queen Vietoria refused his plan. This made Devlin wonder, “What if we could give a lion a poetic voice? ”According to Devlin, although England has seen many poems about national identity in recent years, these works have been lacking imagination. “I wanted to make a piece that was poetic and collective ” he told BBC News.
After standing for almost 180 years, the purpose of Trafalgar Square has changed over the years. But thanks to the hightech lion and its poetry, the square is standing the test of time.
