Unit 1 Art一、閱讀理解。A European Union program is letting blind people experience famous paintings for the first time.It uses threedimensional(3D)printing to recreate famous paintings so they can be touched.One painting printed with the new technology is Gustav Klimts“The Kiss”It is a popular attraction at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna，Austria.The painting shows a man and a woman standing in a field filled with flowers.They are wearing gold robes and have their arms around each other.The man leans down to kiss the woman.Klimt finished the painting in 1908.Until now，people who had trouble seeing could not appreciate the artwork.But thanks to the reproduction they can touch the piece and feel the ridges and depressions.Andreas Reichinger started making 3D versions of artwork in 2010.He said this reproduction was his most difficult project because the couples robes are so detailed.Dominika Raditsch is a blind museum visitor.She touched the reproduction.As she moved her hands around it she said，“Exactly，can you see these？There are so many details.”Raditsch said she could imagine what the original painting looks like when she touched the reproduction，“Its somehow round.You can feel it.You can feel it.It es with it.And in many places its so smooth.And then I think to myself：it probably shines too！”Raditsch said.The Belvedere is not the only museum to have 3D versions of its artwork.Some of the pieces at the Prado Museum，in Madrid，Spain have reproductions that can be touched.But the piece in Vienna has one special part：it is made with widely available 3D printing technology.That means one day，blind art fans anywhere in the world could download the source files and print the reproductions themselves.1What is“The Kiss”？AA European Union project.BA popular painting.CA 3D technology.DA famous museum.2Why did Reichinger say this reproduction was difficult to finish?AThe painting was reproduced detailedly.BThe original artwork was made in 1908.CBlind art fans cant download the source.DThe 3D technology is not available.3How did Raditsch feel when she first touched the reproduction?AAwkward.
