Today，however，technological 5.advances (advance) have led to a combination of art and technology.As 6.a result，the art world is changing greatly.Now art is more 7.accessible (access) to us than ever before.The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”．Not only can we interact with art，but also take part in 8.its (it) creation. However，the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality.9.Similarly (similar)，such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Although we are not sure 10.where the technology will take art next，we can definitely expect the unexpected. Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Arun Kumar Bajaj is a technician and he has a very unusual skill—he can paint with a sewing machine.Technically，it's embroidering(刺绣)，not painting，but his artworks are so detailed that they can pass as paintings to the untrained eyes.And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive. Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter，but his father died suddenly when he was 16 years old，which destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business.His father was a tailor and he became one too，but he didn't let the artist in him die.He started “painting” with a needle and thread，but instead of using his hands，he decided on a rather unusual tool—the sewing machine.It took him a while to master this unique art form，but today he is recognized as the world's only sewing machine artist.His works are innovative and have become very popular both in India and abroad.It's easy to see why，just by looking at them，but what really makes his embroideries special is the tool he uses. “You need to be very careful because once you've stitched(缝) the cloth，there's no way you can repair it，” Arun said.“It's all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look.” Some of Arun's most impressive works include a 4×2 feet painting of the court of Ranjit Singh which took the artist over a year to finish.Arun runs a tailoring business in the Adalat Bazar of Patiala，but he devotes a lot of his time to his artistic dream as well.

A．It includes painting repair work. B．It requires the use of special cloth. C．It needs to be done with great care. D．It involves keeping handwriting neat. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“You need to be very careful because once you've stitched the cloth，there's no way you can repair it(你需要非常小心，因为一旦你缝好了布，就没有办法修补了)”可推知，Arun的工作需要非常小心地做，故选C。 答案　C 4．What's the text mainly about?

The researchers tested the pain-altering effect of virtual reality.Each volunteer accepted some form of temporary pain.The pain came from a special cream applied to the skin.The cream contained capsaicin.It's the chemical in hot peppers that burns your mouth. They then showed the volunteers a movie.Each volunteer would see the movie twice—once in 3D，while wearing a VR headset，and once on a normal 2D screen.The researchers randomly decided for each volunteer whether they watched the 2D or 3D version first.Using the 2D movie as the comparison allowed them to isolate the effect of VR.Watching the movie in VR reduced the pain in the skin area better than viewing the movie in 2D.VR helped them tolerate more pain in the area of the creamed skin.However，that pain reduction ended a few minutes after removing the VR headsets.The researchers wondered how well VR might reduce other types of pain. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明虚拟现实技术有助于减轻疼痛。 5．What's one of the advantages of VR to reduce pain? A．It's much safer. B．It's more convenient. C．It's much faster. D．It's more efficient. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知，用虚拟现实技术来减轻疼痛的好处是更加安全。 答案　A 6．What does the underlined word “chronic” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Sudden. B．Long-term. C．Light. D．Sharp. 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句和第三段最后一句中的“It is fairly long-lived pain”可知，chronic pain与膝盖撞到桌子或者把手放在很热的水中所造成的疼痛不同，它是一种长期的疼痛。由此可推知，chronic意为“长期的”。 答案　B 7．Why was the special cream used in the experiment? A．To find chemicals in hot peppers. B．To bring comfort to volunteers. C．To burn the volunteers' mouth. D．To cause some temporary pain. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句可知，这种特殊的药膏是为了造成短暂的疼痛。 答案　D 8．How was the test carried out? A．By giving numbers. B．By using examples. C．By making a comparison. D．By presenting research findings. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，研究人员让志愿者们两次观看同一部电影，一次是用头戴式VR设备看3D电影，一次是看2D电影。结果发现用VR设备观看电影比观看2D画面的电影更能帮助志愿者减轻疼痛。由此可推知，实验是通过做对比进行的。 答案　C Ⅱ.完形填空 I remember one of my last few years at an amusement park.I spent about five years working at a booth (摊位) across from a(n) 1 comedian. His name was Moonie.He was 2 amazing，and his act was done by using gestures instead of 3 ．I remember watching his shows and always being 4 ．Even when the audience wasn't 5 ，he always 6 to keep things funny and fresh.That was a very hard thing.
