It contrasted greatly with the digital­based trends in my field.I thought of folk tales passed down through generations.I was determined to bring these tales to life in a new way.I wanted to create innovative animations rather than the usual ones. A scene from a well­known folk tale came to my mind. I composed a storyboard, lighting up my creative process.What was once just an abstract idea in my head was now being crafted into a distinct animation.I used my skills at my fingertips, even though some techniques were unfamiliar.This journey of turning inspiration into innovation made me known as a creator who could bring out the best in old stories. Starting out & Understanding ideas Section Ⅰ Step One　Lead­in If you were an artist, what kind of things or places would you turn to for inspiration? And how would these inspirations help you create your own works? As an artist, I'd seek inspiration from nature, urban environment, and human stories.These would fuel my creativity by offering colors, textures, narratives and moods to reinterpret into original pieces—blending observation with personal expression. Step Two　Read for the main idea Match the main idea with each section. Section 1 (开头语) A．This part focuses on a Chinese composer blending Chinese and Western music for universal expression. Section 2 (Paras.1－3) B．This part focuses on a Chinese dancer, who gets inspiration from the nature． Section 3 (Paras.4－5) C．This part raises questions on where artists get their inspiration.

C．Music that is completely based on Western classical music. D．Music that combines Chinese and Western musical elements. √ Ⅳ.Read Section 4 (Paras.6－7) carefully and do the following exercises. 1．Why is Yang Liping called the “Peacock Princess”？ A．Because she loves peacocks more than other animals.

If you could combine the creative inspirations of these three artists to create a new art form, what would it be like? Your presentation： I might create a multi­media performance.I could use story­inspired sculptures as the stage setting.Similar to Tan Dun, I would combine traditional Chinese music with modern beats to create a unique soundtrack.And following Yang Liping's lead in drawing from ethnic cultures, I would integrate traditional dance moves from various ethnic groups into a new dance routine. What inspires you? Every artist's wish is [1]to create something that expresses an idea．But where do artists get their ideas from? Who or what inspires them?

每位艺术家都希望通过创作表达自己的理念。而这些理念从何而来？是谁，抑或是什么启发了他们？下面，我们进一步了解三位截然不同的艺术家成功背后的影响因素。 弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼，视觉艺术家 弗洛伦泰因·霍夫曼是一位荷兰艺术家，他创作的大型雕塑在世界各地进行展出。他的孩子们的玩具是他的一个灵感来源。霍夫曼从这些玩具身上得到启发，从而创作出动物形状的雕塑，比如著名的“大黄鸭”。他最近的新作是一条巨大的《浮鱼》，位于风景宜人的乌镇西栅景区内。 霍夫曼的作品《浮鱼》的灵感源自世代相传的中国民间故事。他对“鲤鱼跃龙门”的古老故事尤其感兴趣。当霍夫曼游览乌镇，看到当地居民的生活时，这个故事立马生动地浮现于他的脑海中。 “我住在镇上期间，散步的时候可以看到人们在喂鱼。你也可以看到墙上还有鱼形的浮雕。”这些画面让霍夫曼渐渐浮现出创作《浮鱼》的念头。 谭盾，作曲家 “音乐的世界没有边界。”中国作曲家谭盾这样说。他因为电影《卧虎藏龙》配乐，并为2008年北京奥运会创作音乐而广为人知。 欣赏谭盾的音乐，就是在感受中国音乐传统和西方影响的交融。从他的第一部歌剧《九歌》开始，谭盾一直在用中国音乐和来自世界各地的其他声音讲述故事。他曾说过，中国音乐要承载人文精神的“共同理念”，才能被世界认可。 杨丽萍，舞蹈家 杨丽萍热爱舞蹈。1986年，她凭借《雀之灵》在全国舞蹈大赛上折桂。此后，她成为家喻户晓的“孔雀公主”，她的许多著名舞蹈作品的灵感都来源于她在云南西双版纳度过的一段时光。 杨丽萍说：“我很感激在西双版纳的那些年，它让我有机会深入到各个民族的生活里面 ……我们的少数民族，尤其是傣族人民，特别喜爱孔雀。他们认为孔雀展现了自然之美。我特别喜欢傣族人的舞蹈风格，这给了我很多灵感。我的舞蹈源自他们的传统信仰，同时也致力于展现傣族女性的美。” inspire v．激发；鼓舞；赋予灵感[联想：inspiration n．灵感；启发灵感的人(或事物)→inspiring adj.鼓舞人心的；启发灵感的→inspired adj.有灵感的；受到鼓舞的]

Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co­workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day.Archive Gould, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library.Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public piano inside. Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he'd played the piano for years, but he'd never been able to showcase his talents.Therefore, on the first day on site, Gould sat down in his paint­stained work clothes to play for his workmates. “It was so heart­melting.I love classical music to begin with.Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched，” his workmate, Kerrie Bates, shared her reaction to Gould's performance.As for Gould, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano. The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views.And Gould came up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think half the reason why the video blew up is that I looked like a construction worker.No one expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it's nothing.” However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person's outward appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them as and when we can.While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or singers, there's so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Archive Gould的建筑工人在工作期间利用休息时间弹奏钢琴，给同事们带来了惊喜和享受的故事，传递了不要以貌取人的道理。 1．What role does social media play according to the first paragraph? A．A platform for people to show talents. B．Means of communication and expression. C．Place for people to share common interest. D．A tool to remind us of some important things. √ 解析：选A。细节理解题。第一段提到社交媒体能让我们看到人们生活中令人惊讶的方面，一些分享的视频让我们看到各种隐藏或不那么隐藏的才华。这表明社交媒体成为了人们展示才华的平台。故选A。 2．How did Kerrie Bates react to Gould's performance? A．She considered it was incredible. B．She thought it held lasting artistic value. C．She found it was more accessible to workers. D．She believed it deserved a great deal of fame. √ 解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第四段开头的描述：“太让人心动了。我本来就喜欢古典音乐。看到他弹得如此出色，我完全被触动了。”他的同事Kerrie Bates分享了她对Gould表演的反应。可知，Kerrie Bates认为Gould的表演令人难以置信，非常出色。故选A。 3．What does the underlined phrase “notched up” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Reserved. B．Required. C．Convinced. D．Earned. 解析：选D。词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句“The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views.(这段表演被分享到了网上， notched up惊人的浏览量)”根据句意可知，画线短语意为“获得了”惊人的浏览量。故选D。 √ 4．What does Gould's story convey? A．The early bird catches the worm. B．Never judge a book by its cover. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. √ 解析：选B。推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章提到Gould穿着沾满油漆的工作服在休息时间弹奏钢琴，他的同事们非常惊讶于他弹得如此出色。Gould认为视频走红的原因是他看起来像个建筑工人，没人期望一个建筑工人能演奏古典音乐。由此推知，Gould的故事传达了不要以貌取人的道理，人们不能仅仅根据外表来判断一个人的能力或才华。故选B。 B (2025·江西赣州高二上期末)Mel Taylor­Bessent has had a passion for reading and writing stories since she was a child.After doing a creative writing degree at university, she set up Little Star Writing—after­school creative writing clubs, which she ran for many years.She went on to interview hundreds of authors for her website, called Authorfy, before becoming a children's author herself. Her latest book, Race to Imagination Island, is the first step in an exciting adventure series exploring the unlimited power of our imaginations.Taylor­Bessent says writing for fun is vital for fueling children's creativity and dreams and everyone needs imagination. She enjoyed creating her own stories from a very young age.“In school, I was the writing kid，” she says.“I just loved escaping into a story.” After reading a National Literacy Trust (NLT) report that said fewer and fewer children were writing for pure enjoyment, Taylor­Bessent decided to launch her YouTube channel, which offers top tips for children on how to enjoy creative writing, simply for fun. Making a special writing atmosphere is a great way to start your writing tour.“Create a fun writing environment, play some music, grab a blanket, find a cosy corner，” she says, adding that when you start writing, don't worry about perfect spelling, punctuation and handwriting.Just let your ideas flow.“Our writing will improve if we play with our words，” she says.“Write about what you enjoy.” You could even invite a friend to write with you for “twice the ideas, twice the imagination and twice the fun.” Taylor­Bessent encourages all children to try creative writing, saying, “There is no such thing as a wrong idea.Writing will take you anywhere you want to go and your imagination is limitless.” [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Mel Taylor­Bessent建立创意写作俱乐部，来激发孩子们的创造力和梦想。 5．What did Mel Taylor­Bessent do after graduation? A．She worked hard for the NLT. B．She taught writing at university. C．She established creative writing clubs.
