What is this Japanese ikebana(花道) No, it’s Chinese traditional flower arrangement. They seem similar, but actually differ.
Recalling experiences in flower arrangement competitions abroad, Zhang Yan said her works were often mistaken for ikebana. “Some were quite astonished when I told them I’m from China. We need more publicity on Chinese traditional flower arrangement.”
Zhang Yan first know about flower arrangement in college from an optional course she took. Back then, she never imagined that a single course could be the starting point of her life-long career. Now, she hopes to do her part to introduce the art form to the world.
The art of Chinese traditional flower arrangement has been handed down since 1046 BC． Historical records show it served as offerings at temples, decorations in palaces and art at homes.
“Though it has a long history, the image of flower arrangement is still limited to the bouquets in flower shops,” Zhang said, “If people are familiar with the history of it, they would take pride in its centuries-old history and try to make it well-known.”
As it was included in the second batch of National intangible Cultural Heritage(国家非物质文化遗产), more and more people including Zhang’s own daughter now are learning Chinese traditional flower arrangement. “Whether she makes it her career or not, I hope she can continue to hold an ability to enjoy the beauty around her,” Zhang added.
“Unlike its Western counterpart, Chinese traditional flower arrangement emphasizes(强调) simplicity,” Zhang said. The arranger must decide on what is truly necessary in his or her work and remove the rest. Sometimes learners are moved to tears because they began to reflect on what is truly necessary in their lives. The healing(治疗) effect of Chinese traditional flower arrangement is realized when the arranger come to terms with what they truly want.
In Zhang’s view, there are more to Chinese traditional flower arrangement besides its therapy effects, and the key lies in the exploration of traditional Chinese culture.
“It came from traditional Chinese culture, and it is part of it,” Zhang argued. “Only when it absorbs enough nutrition from traditional Chinese culture can it bloom and be world-known. And our mission now is to inherit and develop traditional Chinese culture.”
29．Which of the following has the similar meaning with “astonished” in Paragraph 2
A．Unhappy B．Surprised C．Nervous D．Excited
30．What do you know about Chinese traditional flower arrangement from the passage
A．It has had a history of 1046 years since it was handed down.
B．When you arrange flowers, you’d better use as many flowers as you can.
C．Zhang’s words show there’s still a long way before making it world-known.
D．In ancient China, it was often used as decorations in many temples and palaces.
31．My friend is a busy office lady under great pressure, what may happen to her after doing flower arrangement according to Paragraph 7
A．She may find it difficult to choose from so many flowers and give up.
B．She is sure to be a master of the flower arrangement.
C．She may find it relaxing and think of running a flower shop.
D．She may reflect on her life and work to make some wise choices.
32．What’s the best title of this passage
A．Traditional Art Form in Danger

C．Art That Blooms(开花) from Traditional Culture
D．Zhang Yan - A Master of Chinese Traditional Chinese Flower Arrangement

Ever since the earliest people painted on cave walls, we have used art to explore our experiences and what it means to be human. But what if a work of art wasn’t created by a human This is a question that’s being asked more and more as artists begin programming robots to create everything from paintings and sculptures to music and literature.
In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program called AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, AARON is able to paint people, landscapes and just about anything else a human could paint.
So, can AARON be called an artist or creative In 2010, Cohen explained that although he wrote the first computer code that AARON follows, “AARON can produce unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes, AARON is creative.
It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon made its first album(音乐专辑) on Spotify. Built by a team at Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology in the US, Shimon began life as a simple robot piano player. Over the years, however, it has learned how to work with other musicians, write songs and compose. Shimon does this by studying much music to know types and then uses that information to create works.
It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is able to do things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team hope and believe that these new abilities would push human collaborators(合作者) to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human teamwork.
Whether or not you believe that art created by robots is just as creative as art created by humans, there’s no doubt that robotic art assistants(助手) could have very good influence on artists. For one, they could cut down the time which an artist needs to do basic parts of art creation.
33．Which of the following is TRUE about ARRON and Shimon
A．All people think ARRON is a great artist.
B．ARRON can paint people and landscapes at first.
C．Shimon is expected to push humans to achieve more.
D．Shimon can do things that human musicians can’t do.
34．Why can the robot be an assistant to help the artists
A．It may do better jobs than those real artists.
B．It can create the art works as well as the real artist.
C．It can make the artists spend less time creating art works than before.
D．It can do some basic parts of the art creations to help artists save time.
35．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A．B．C． D．
36．What is the author’s opinion about the robots that create art
A．Supportive. B．Worried. C．Neutral(中立). D．Doubtful.

5．B
