This scene,once rare,is now common across Asia and Europe:traditional crafts—pottery,weaving,hand-dyed textiles—are enjoying a surprising revival,even as digital tools control daily life. Why are people drawn to these slow,labor-intensive practices?Psychologists point to “digital fatigue”:the constant flow of emails,messages,and social media updates leaves many people desiring activities that demand focus.Unlike scrolling through a screen,crafting requires patience.A single ceramic bowl might take days to mold,fire,and glaze.“It’s the opposite of instant satisfaction,” says London-based craft historian Elena Ruiz.“That’s exactly its appeal.” This revival isn’t just about nostalgia(怀旧).Modern craftsmen are combining old techniques with new ideas.In Florence,Italy,a third-generation weaver uses 17th-century weaving machines to create fabrics for luxury brands,but adds patterns inspired by street art.In Seoul,a paper-maker integrates recycled coffee grounds into traditional hanji paper,making it both eco-friendly and trendy.These innovations keep crafts relevant,attracting younger consumers who value uniqueness over mass production. Critics argue that the trend risks turning crafts into mere “artistic products”.They worry that workshops become photo spots rather than places of learning,and that the pressure to create “Instagram-worthy” pieces weakens the depth of traditional skills.Yet supporters argue that any attention is good.“If a teenager buys a hand-woven scarf because it looks cool online,they might later ask about how it was made,” notes Ruiz.“Interest is the first step toward preservation.” For Tanaka,the newfound popularity is a chance to pass on his knowledge.“My father thought pottery would die with machines,” he says,wiping clay from his apron.“But young people now want to learn.They see it’s not just about making things—it’s about making meaning.” 1.Why does the author mention “digital fatigue” in paragraph 2? A.To criticize the overuse of digital tools in daily life. B.To stress people are less interested in social media. C.To explain why people desire focus-requiring activities. D.To prove crafts require more patience than digital activities. 2.What do examples in paragraph 3 show? A.Innovation is more important than tradition. B.Traditional crafts can adapt to modern tastes. C.Young consumers prefer eco-friendly products. D.Luxury brands depend on traditional techniques. 3.Which of the following statements would both critics and supporters most likely agree on? A.Traditional crafts possess values that need to be preserved. B.Innovation is in conflict with maintaining traditional skills. C.Young consumers alone will determine the future of craftsmanship. D.Digital exposure unavoidably harms the uniqueness of traditional crafts. 4.What’s the main idea of the passage? A.Young people are responsible for preserving traditional skills. B.Traditional crafts are replacing digital products in modern life. C.Modern innovations are ruining the authenticity of traditional crafts. D.The revival of traditional crafts reflects a desire for meaning in a digital world. B (2026辽宁大连高二检测) The Painting Fool is one of a growing number of computer programs which are claimed to have creative talents.But human beings are often thought to be the only species to perform creative acts regularly.If this process is broken down into computer code,where does that leave human creativity? Indeed,we are all familiar with computerized art.Aaron,one of the oldest machine artists,can pick up a paintbrush and paint on its own.Impressive perhaps,but it is still little more than a tool to realise the programmer’s own creative ideas. Simon Colton,the designer of the Painting Fool,is keen to make sure his creation doesn’t attract the same criticism.Unlike earlier machine artists such as Aaron,the Painting Fool only needs a little direction and can come up with its own ideas by running its own web searches to search for necessary materials.It is now beginning to display a kind of imagination too.One of its original works is a series of fuzzy(模模糊糊的) landscapes of trees and the sky.While some might say they have a mechanical(呆板的,机械的) look,Colton argues that such reactions arise from people’s double standards towards software-produced and human-produced art.After all,he says,the Painting Fool painted the landscapes without referring to a photo.“If a child painted a new scene from its head,you’d say it has a certain level of imagination,” he points out.“The same should be true of a machine.” Where does this prejudice come from?Colton thinks that when people experience art,they wonder what the artist might have been thinking or what the artist is trying to tell them.It seems obvious,therefore,that with computers producing art,this thinking is cut short — there’s nothing to explore.But as technology becomes increasingly complex,finding those greater depths in computer art could become possible.This is why Colton asks the Painting Fool to tap into online social networks for its inspiration:hopefully,this way it will choose themes that will already be meaningful to us.  5.In which way is the Painting Fool different from Aaron? A.It paints with a paintbrush. B.It searches for inspiration online. C.It realises the designer’s ideas. D.It is full of imagination. 6.Which belief does “this prejudice” in paragraph 4 refer to? A.Computerized artworks are mindless. B.Software-produced art is faultless. C.Artificial artists are good for nothing. D.The Painting Fool has a mechanical look. 7.What’s the author’s attitude to the future of the Painting Fool? A.Doubtful.　　　B.Unclear. C.Intolerant. D.Positive. 8.What is the best title of the text? A.Aaron:Ready to Be Upgraded B.Art:By Human or By Software C.The Painting Fool:an Artificial Artist D.Colton:Mixing Art and Technology Ⅵ.应用文写作 假定你是校学生会主席李华,你校将举行合唱节(Choral Festival),你听说本校外籍教师Shelley女士也愿意参加,请你根据以下内容给她写一封邀请信: 1.表达邀请愿望; 2.简单介绍合唱节(合唱节举办的时间、地点;合唱节内容:校长演讲、老师和学生表演节目;活动的意义); 3.希望对方接受邀请。 注意: 1.写作词数应为80个左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Dear Shelley, How are you doing?                       Yours, Li Hua 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.revive vt.　　　　　　→revival n.　　　　　　　　　　　　  2.preserve v.　　　　　　　→preservation n.　　　　　　  二、熟词生义 1.relevant本文义:adj.　　　　　　　　  其他义:adj.　　　　　  2.tap本文义:v.　　　　　　　　　  其他义:v.　　　　　  三、词块速记 1.break down into　　　　　　　　  2.arise from　　　　　　　　　　　  四、经典句式背诵 Outside,young people line up,phones in hand,waiting to take photos of the process.(独立主格结构) 句意:     五、长难句分析 They worry that workshops become photo spots rather than places of learning,and that the pressure to create “Instagram-worthy” pieces weakens the depth of traditional skills. 分析:that workshops become photo spots rather than places of learning 为　　　　　　从句;that the pressure to create “Instagram-worthy” pieces weakens the depth of traditional skills 为　　　　　　从句,that不可省略,其中to create “Instagram-worthy” pieces为不定式短语作　　　　　　。  句意:     答案 Ⅰ.1.distinct　2.animation　3.technicians　4.literally　5.Innovation　6.concepts Ⅱ.1.up　2.when　3.to　4.with　5.in　6.with Ⅲ.1.With society developing rapidly/quickly　2.had a distinct advantage　3.①Travelling not only relaxes;but also broadens　②Not only does travelling relax;but also broadens 4.①didn’t realise;until he retired　②Not until he retired did he realise　③It was not until he retired that he realised Ⅳ.Activity 1 1.set in motion the Folk Tale Exhibition　2.Knowing you’re interested in tales passed down through generations　3.featuring the promotion of ethnic literature　4.is composed of;come to life　5.do hope Activity 2 The opening ceremony successfully set in motion the Folk Tale Exhibition,attracting a large crowd eager to explore the cultural stories.Knowing you’re interested in tales passed down through generations,I am writing to invite you to participate.This exhibition featuring the promotion of ethnic literature aims to develop students’ understanding in literature.In addition,this exhibition is composed of story displays,interactive experiences,and cultural exchanges,making ancient myths and legends come to life.I do hope you are able to join us.Please reply to confirm your attendance at your earliest convenience. Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在数字工具主导日常生活的当下,传统工艺正迎来复兴热潮。文章分析了这一趋势背后的原因,同时探讨了该趋势引发的争议,并指出传统工艺的复兴反映了人们在数字世界中对意义的追求。 1.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Why are people drawn to these slow,labor-intensive practices?Psychologists point to ‘digital fatigue’:the constant flow of emails,messages,and social media updates leaves many people desiring activities that demand focus.Unlike scrolling through a screen,crafting requires patience.”可知,作者提到“数字疲劳”是为了解释为什么人们渴望需要专注的活动。故选C项。 2.B　推理判断题。根据第三段“This revival isn’t just about nostalgia...These innovations keep crafts relevant,attracting younger consumers who value uniqueness over mass production.”可知,第三段中的例子表明传统工艺能够适应现代品味。故选B项。 3.A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Critics argue that the trend risks turning crafts into mere ‘artistic products’...‘If a teenager buys a hand-woven scarf because it looks cool online,they might later ask about how it was made,’notes Ruiz.‘Interest is the first step toward preservation.’”可知,批评者和支持者都认为传统手工艺品具有需要保护的价值,只是他们在保护的方式和侧重点上有所不同。故选A项。 4.D　主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段中的“This scene,once rare,is now common across Asia and Europe:traditional crafts — pottery,weaving,hand-dyed textiles — are enjoying a surprising revival,even as digital tools control daily life.”可知,文章主要讲述了在数字工具主导日常生活的当下,传统手工艺正在经历一场令人惊讶的复兴,这种复兴反映了人们在数字世界中对意义的追求。故选D项。 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍人工智能绘画程序The Painting Fool,对比其与早期同类程序的差异,探讨人们对它的偏见,并展望其发展前景。 5.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Unlike earlier machine artists such as Aaron,the Painting Fool only needs a little direction and can come up with its own ideas by running its own web searches to search for necessary materials.”可知,The Painting Fool会在网上寻找创作灵感。故选B项。 6.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“While some might say they have a mechanical look,Colton argues that such reactions arise from people’s double standards towards software-produced and human-produced art.”以及第四段中的“Colton thinks that when people experience art,they wonder what the artist might have been thinking or what the artist is trying to tell them.It seems obvious,therefore,that with computers producing art,this thinking is cut short—there’s nothing to explore.”可知,第三段提到人们认为The Painting Fool的作品“机械呆板”,第四段进一步解释这种偏见的来源——人们欣赏艺术时会探究创作者的想法,而认为电脑创作的艺术缺乏深层思考、没有可挖掘的内涵。因此“this prejudice”指的是人们觉得电脑艺术是缺乏思想的。故选A项。 7.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But as technology becomes increasingly complex,finding those greater depths in computer art could become possible.This is why Colton asks the Painting Fool to tap into online social networks for its inspiration:hopefully,this way it will choose themes that will already be meaningful to us.”可知,作者对这部作品的未来持积极态度。故选D项。 8.C　主旨大意题。根据第一段内容,并结合本文介绍的人工智能绘画程序The Painting Fool,对比其与早期同类程序的差异,探讨人们对它的偏见,并展望其发展前景。由此可知,C选项最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 Ⅵ.
