Unit 6 Design

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2024·全国卷Ⅲ)For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.

“It's no secret that China has always been a source (来源) of inspiration for designers，” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A＋E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (时尚) shows.

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of Chinainspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics (美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

“China is impossible to overlook，” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking_on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales，” adds Hill.

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers，” she says. “China is no longer just another market；in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”

D．They do business all over the world.

答案：A 推理判断题。由原文第四段中Hill说的话可知，中国女性不仅是时尚的消费者，承接上文，第一个破折号后的movement就是fashion campaign，结合常识与消费者对应的是创造者，所以中国女性不仅是时尚的消费者，还是时尚的创造者，由此推断出，她们正在引领潮流，故选A项。

3．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean? A．learning from C．working with

B．looking down on D．competing against

答案：D 词义猜测题。由画线词后面的“—and beating them hands down in design and sales”可知，破折号是对前文的补充，因此beating them与taking on意思相近，所以可知take on此处意为“与……较量”，故选D项。

C．Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics D．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends

B

A work of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) has been sold by a major art seller for the first time.

The print sold for an unexpectedly large amount of $432,500. The artwork was bought during an auction (拍卖) on Thursday at Christie's, an art house, in New York City. Officials had predicted it would sell for between $7,000 and $10,000. The buyer was not immediately announced.

The artwork, called Portrait of Edmond Belamy, was made by a machine learning algorithm (算法). It shows the portrait of a man, looking similar to subjects shown in historical paintings. While the piece was not painted by a firstclass artist, “it is exactly the kind of artwork we have been selling for 250 years，” Christie's sale organizer Richard Lloyd said in a statement.

Three creators from the art group Obvious cooperated on the process that made the print. They put a collection of 15,000 portraits into a machine learning system. The portraits were painted by artists from the time period between the 14th and the 20th centuries. Obvious has created a series of AIproduced artworks. It has experimented with other kinds of historical paintings. These included subjects from nature to paintings of the whole human body.

Christie's admits that artwork created by machine learning methods leaves open questions about who or what should get credit (受到好评) for creating the pieces. An expert of art and artificial intelligence told Christie's he believes ownership of AI artwork needs to be shared because humans and machines both take part in the process. “You could say that, at this point, it is a collaboration (协作) between two artists—one human, one machine. And that leads me to think about the future,

in which AI will become a new medium for art.”

In the case of the Portrait of Edmond Belamy, only one “artist” appears at the bottom, where the signed name usually appears. This print does not contain a human's name. Instead, it lists part of the actual machine learning algorithm that created it.
