【推荐1】A new exhibit at a California museum provides visitors with a modern version of the ancient Chinese art style, literally “shan shui hua”. The show is at the Chinese American Museum in Los Angeles. It is called Lightscapes. The works show scenes of mountains, rivers and sometimes waterfalls. Chinese artists have been creating the brush and ink works for more than 1,000 years.

Artists Nick Dong and Chi-Tsung Wu found ways to connect the new, digital generation to this traditional form of art. Their works get the essence (本质) of the style in a new way. The exhibit forces the viewers to slow down and experience a different world. That was also one of the goals of shan shui hua artists from long ago.

Dong said, “Actually, all these artists want to create a world where they can hide themselves. And the world can help them avoid or escape from the reality. So, they create a mountain and imagine they could live there.”

One of the works involves a slowly moving light directed at clear plastic boxes on a wall. The piece, created by Wu, is called Crystal City. Wu said, “If we see this through the light, from a different perspective, we could see there’s another world behind that.” That other world Wu noted is the shadows that look more solid than the plastic boxes. Wu said Crystal City is the representative of the modern digital age.

To view Dong’s representation of Heaven, one has to step into a room filled with mirrors from floor to ceiling. There is a small round seat in the middle of the room. Dong said, “Once you’ve entered the installation (装置), at first you’ll see a lot of your reflections. But once you sit down, you touch off the mechanism (机关) of the room. The mirrors actually start to reflect, and you yourself will disappear within the space.”

1. What’s the main characteristic of the new exhibit?
A.It shows the beauty of nature.
B.It puts ancient Chinese art works on show.
C.It enjoys advantages in terms of technology.
D.It’s a good combination of the new and the old.
2. What do the artists want to convey in their works?
A.Their concern about nature.
B.Their curiosity about future life.
C.Their longing for a different world.
D.Their satisfaction with the reality.
3. What can we infer about Crystal City from Paragraph 4?
A.It is Wu’s most famous work.
B.Light and shadows are parts of it.
C.It shows the complexity of plastic boxes.
D.Advanced tools are needed to appreciate it.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A.Artists have modernized shan shui hua.
B.Lots of artists are attracted by shan shui hua.
C.Traditional paintings face lots of challenges.
D.Traditional paintings should keep pace with times.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国科罗拉多州博览会艺术比赛中,AI画作拿一等奖惹怒人类艺术家,并引发热议。

【推荐2】Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist.

In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示).

Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It’s one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.”

However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets. Over time, with slight adjustments to his written prompts, he created 900 repeating processes of what led to his final three images. He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution (分辨率) and had the images printed at a local print shop.

Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention. “Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said.

1. What do we know about Theatre D’opera Spatial?
A.Its beauty is widely accepted.B.Its creation is an easy process.
C.It shows the death of traditional art.D.It has caused a lot of arguments.
2. What did Allen do to create his entries?
A.He searched for smart written prompts.B.He edited his final images in Photoshop.
C.He fed Midjourney with famous paintings.D.He developed the software named Gigapixel.
3. What is Allen’s attitude to the debate over Al-created art?
A.Worried.B.Uncaring.C.Positive.D.Annoyed.
4. What might be the best title for the text?
A.AI Beats Out Human Artists in the Art Field
B. AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are Angry
C.An Artist Wins State Fair Art Contest and Laughs
D.The Artist From Pueblo West Is Defending His Work.
