But where do artists get their ideas from? Who or what inspires them? Here we find out more about the influences behind the successes of three very different artists. Florentijn Hofman, visual artist Florentijn Hofman is a Dutch artist, whose large sculptures are on display all over the world. One way for him to find inspiration is turning to his children's toys. These objects have given him ideas for his animal sculptures, such as the famous Rubber Duck. A more recent work of his is the huge Floating Fish, which was set among the beautiful landscape of Wuzhen West Scenic Zone. Hofman's inspiration for Floating Fish came from Chinese folk tales passed down through the generations. He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the "Dragon Gate". This story came to life for Hofman when he visited Wuzhen and saw how people lived there. "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" These sights set Hofman's idea for Floating Fish in motion. Tan Dun, composer "There is no territory in the world of music." These are the words of Chinese composer Tan Dun. He is most widely known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. To listen to Tan's music is to experience a mix of Chinese musical traditions and Western influences. 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. As Tan once said, Chinese music should carry "universal expression"of the human spirit so as to be recognized by the whole world. Dao Meilan, dancer Dao Meilan's passion is dancing. Widely known as the "Peacock Princess", she has dedicated her life to this art. Born into a Dai family in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, Dao showed her talent for dancing from an early age. Her inspiration has come from the rich cultural heritage and traditional stories of her home town, which often feature the peacock, a symbol of natural beauty and good luck. She created amazing dances to bring out the charm of the beautiful birds and the local people's lives. One of her most famous works is The Golden Peacock. Through years of effort, she has made her dances into a graceful picture of Dai culture, for audiences in China and around the world. "In China, I dance to represent the Dai people, and abroad, I dance to represent China. A true artist must carry the spirit of their country in their heart," said Dao. 1.

What is special about Tan Dun's music? A. It only uses Chinese traditional sounds B. It combines Chinese and Western elements C. It is mainly written for films and Olympics D. It focuses on universal human sadness 3. Why is Dao Meilan called the "Peacock Princess"? A. She keeps peacocks as pets B. She was born in a peacock-themed town C.

What comes to your mind? Is it Greck 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 colors 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 as"artists"rather than "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. Three-dimensional (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 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 it 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, the increase in the amount and variety of art produced has also raised questions over its overall quality, Can a video of someone slicing a tomato played in slow motion really be called "art"? Similarly, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists tools really call themselves an "artist"? And is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? A recent project used technology ad data in the same way that Rembrandt used his paints and brushes. The end result, printed in 3D, was a new "Rembrandt painting" created 347 years after the artist's death. These advances are perhaps bringing us closer to a time when computers rather than humans create art. 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. 一、阅读理解（共5题） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 Think "art".
