Early last year, a French art group known as Obvious claimed that their
artificial intelligence(AI) had managed to "create" art. Christie's(佳士得拍卖行) was
expecting less than $ 10,000. In the end, it was sold at $ 432,500!
The painting was the first piece of AI art to have been sold at auction(拍卖).
Soon questions rang through the media: Is this art Who is the artist How about
the owner Are machines now creative, too
All good questions---but too early. The technology is far from advanced, as
Obvious suggested, because the public is completely confused about what Al is,
and what it is able to do.
In fact, the painting was just one of the countless artworks Al could produce.
It was the team behind Obvious that chose this one. And they got involved in the
whole process. They first programmed the Al, and then they chose 15,000 existing
paintings to train the software. Connecting the painting with the algorithm(计算程
序) was just a clever marketing tool. Al did not produce the painting on its own at
all.
Dozens of artists are using the same software as Obvious, but none of them
are worried about being replaced. As they build the machine themselves and work
with it every day, they know how limited it is. What interests the artists is co-
creation: the way Al lets them go beyond their natural ability.
Artists also laugh at the idea that AI is creative. It certainly creates things,
sometimes in new and effective ways, but it does so without a purpose. It is the
artist who interprets its output(输出). "You make a fire and it produces interesting
shapes, but in the end the fire is not creative. AI is a glorified(美化了的) campfire, "
said one of the pioneers of using AI in art.
54. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the
painting sold at auction is TRUE
A. It was created by a French artist alone.
B. It was sold at a much lower price than expected.
C. It was the first piece of AI art in the world.
D. It attracted a great deal of media attention.
55. Paragraph 4 mainly talks about ______.
A. how the painting was created
B. how AI learned how to paint
C. why the painting was connected with the algorithm
D. why the painting was not created by AI independently
56. It can be inferred from the passage that the AI technology ______.
A. can produce countless artworks B. requires no programming
C. can think for itself D. can replace the artists
C
He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone
who chose to become a teacher ” He reminds the other dinner guests that it's
true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from
reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about
lawyers---that they make money from the misfortune of others.
“I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me. “Be honest. What do
you make ”
I wish he hadn’t asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him a
lesson.
You want to know what I make
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+ feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure.
How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best
I make parents tremble in fear when I call them:
I hope I haven’t called at a bad time.
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today.
Billy said, "Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you "
And it was the bravest act I have ever seen.
I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be.
You want to know what I make
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them criticize.
I make them think.
I make them apologise and mean it.
I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read.
I teach them to solve math problems that they once thought impossible.
I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart
and if someone ever tries
to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.
Let me make this simple for you, so you know what I say is true:
I make a great difference! What about you
57. What do we know about the man that the author is speaking to

meaning to ______.
A. stop myself saying what I really think B. speak out honestly but carelessly
C. keep silent about myself D. say something which is wrong
59. The author called Billy’s parents to ______.
A. let them tremble in fear B. ask why Billy cried that day
C. praise what Billy did that day D. advise them to leave Billy alone

D
A short while ago, I lost access to my WeChat account. I am not sure why it
wouldn't let me log in; perhaps it was my ancient, out-of-date phone. But I wasn't
too upset because it offered me an opportunity to take a break from social media-
--something more and more people are doing.
In the United States, Twitter is losing millions of users each month and
Facebook has seen a 44 percent decline among its younger users. Some of these
users may have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media platforms,
while many others have quit because they felt that social media was having a
negative effect on their happiness and overall quality of life.
Stars such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeren have taken a break from social
media because they were tired of so many Internet trolls(网络喷子) leaving
negative comments. Ordinary people(like me) are turning away from it because of
the feeling that they were spending more time online and enjoying less.
It is not unusual for people to spend two or three hours a day posting or
reading posts, to the point where it becomes an addiction. And it is an addiction.
There is a chemical in your brain known as dopamine(多巴胺) which is sometimes
called the "reward molecule" and its release gives you a feeling of pleasure. For
instance, when you post a photo on WeChat and get a hundred likes, you feel
happy. That's dopamine at work.
In my case, being off WeChat left me with a feeling of anxiety for a few days.
No doubt I missed my dopamine. And I got e-mails from friends wondering if I
was fine or if I was just being anti-social(不喜欢社交的）. But I soon began to feel
quite peaceful and started to worry less about what other people were doing and
concentrate more on my personal life. And it is an added bonus that I'm getting
better sleep at night.
I'm not advocating that all of you quit social media, but spending less time on
these platforms does bring you advantages. You could start by leaving your phone
at home when you go to school( For some, that's already a school rule). And it is
also a good idea to charge your phone outside of your bedroom at night, as you
are unlikely to get a good night's sleep when the notification(通知) bell keeps
ringing.
Someday I may reconnect with my WeChat account, but I'm not in a hurry.
Life can be more relaxing and just as interesting without it.
62. The author mentions his/her disconnection with WeChat at the beginning of
the passage to ______.
A. introduce the disadvantages of social media
B. explain why he lost access to his WeChat account
C. illustrate the function of dopamine
D. prove how WeChat makes life easier
63. What is the current situation of social media in the United States according to
the passage
A. Twitter and Facebook dominate all the social media.
B. Famous people have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media.
C. An increasing number of people are losing interest in social media.
D. Social media add to people’s happiness and life convenience.
64. What does the fourth paragraph talk about
A. How dopamine works when you are posting or reading posts.
B. The reason behind people's addiction to social media.
C. Why WeChat is so popular among ordinary people.
D. What you can do if you want to get many likes on WeChat.
65. What is the author's attitude towards social media
A. To turn away from them as soon as possible.
B. To choose a social media platform that suits you.
C. To connect with them is acceptable if you aren’t addicted to it.
D. To quit them will make your life more relaxing and interesting.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Seven years ago, my wife told our 6-year-old daughter about our wedding
weekend. My wife had moved back home to spend the weekend with her family.
As I was tucking our daughter in (把女儿的被子掖好) later that night, she asked
if she could “come home like mommy did” when she got married one day.
Hopefully, one day far off into the future... I told her our house would always be
open to her. She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was extremely
happy.
After a few seconds, I could see her mind churning (思绪翻腾)---the happiness
dissipated. She pushed her finger into my belly and told me in low spirits, “Your
belly is too big and you are too fat. I don’t know if you are going to make it.”
I was shocked. It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the
previous five years as I was building Contegix. I had not thought of it as
destroying a future with my family. A 6-year-old girl saw what I missed.
I decided to run a mile the next morning. I couldn’t make it 1/4 mile. I
didn’t give up and went out the next morning.
Seven years later, I have lost 60 pounds and regularly run ultra marathons. I
attempted my first 100 miles last August, but I missed the terminal point at mile
87 after running on a torn hamstring (腿筋撕裂) for the previous 79 miles.
Yet, the most important distance I will ever go will be walking her down the
aisle (结婚) one day. I would not make it if it hadn’t been for the honesty and
innocence of a 6-year-old.
86. Why was the author’s daughter happy (no more than 15 words)
87. What does the underlined word “dissipated” in Paragraph 3 mean (one
word)
88. What happened to the author as he was building Contegix (no more than 10
words)
89. What does the author regularly do seven years later (no more than 5 words)
90. What do you think of the author Please explain. (no more than 25 words)

Early last year, a French art group known as Obvious claimed that their artificial intelligence(AI) had managed to "create" art. Christie's(佳士得拍卖行) was expecting less than $ 10,000. In the end, it was sold at $ 432,500!
The painting was the first piece of AI art to have been sold at auction(拍卖). Soon questions rang through the media: Is this art Who is the artist How about the owner Are machines now creative, too
All good questions---but too early. The technology is far from advanced, as Obvious suggested, because the public is completely confused about what Al is, and what it is able to do.
In fact, the painting was just one of the countless artworks Al could produce. It was the team behind Obvious that chose this one. And they got involved in the whole process. They first programmed the Al, and then they chose 15,000 existing paintings to train the software. Connecting the painting with the algorithm(计算程序 ) was just a clever marketing tool. Al did not produce the painting on its own at all.
Dozens of artists are using the same software as Obvious, but none of them are worried about being replaced. As they build the machine themselves and work with it every day, they know how limited it is. What interests the artists is co- creation: the way Al lets them go beyond their natural ability.
Artists also laugh at the idea that AI is creative. It certainly creates things, sometimes in new and effective ways, but it does so without a purpose. It is the artist who interprets its output(输出). "You make a fire and it produces interesting shapes, but in the end the fire is not creative. AI is a glorified(美化了的) campfire, " said one of the pioneers of using AI in art.
According to the passage, which of the following statements about the painting sold at auction is TRUE
It was created by a French artist alone.
It was sold at a much lower price than expected.
It was the first piece of AI art in the world.
It attracted a great deal of media attention.
Paragraph 4 mainly talks about .
how the painting was created
how AI learned how to paint
why the painting was connected with the algorithm
why the painting was not created by AI independently
It can be inferred from the passage that the AI technology .
A. can produce countless artworks B. requires no programming
C. can think for itself D. can replace the artists
C
He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher ” He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers---that they make money from the misfortune of others.
“I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor,” he says to me. “Be honest. What do you make ”
I wish he hadn’t asked me to be honest, because now I have to teach him a lesson.
You want to know what I make
I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I can make a C+ feel like a great achievement and an A-feel like a failure. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best
I make parents tremble in fear when I call them: I hope I haven’t called at a bad time.
I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today. Billy said, "Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you " And it was the bravest act I have ever seen.
I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be. You want to know what I make
I make kids wonder.
I make them question. I make them criticize. I make them think.
I make them apologise and mean it. I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read.
I teach them to solve math problems that they once thought impossible.
I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone ever tries
to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.
Let me make this simple for you, so you know what I say is true: I make a great difference! What about you

A short while ago, I lost access to my WeChat account. I am not sure why it wouldn't let me log in; perhaps it was my ancient, out-of-date phone. But I wasn't too upset because it offered me an opportunity to take a break from social media-
--something more and more people are doing.
In the United States, Twitter is losing millions of users each month and Facebook has seen a 44 percent decline among its younger users. Some of these users may have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media platforms, while many others have quit because they felt that social media was having a negative effect on their happiness and overall quality of life.
Stars such as Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeren have taken a break from social media because they were tired of so many Internet trolls( 网 络 喷 子 ) leaving negative comments. Ordinary people(like me) are turning away from it because of the feeling that they were spending more time online and enjoying less.
It is not unusual for people to spend two or three hours a day posting or reading posts, to the point where it becomes an addiction. And it is an addiction. There is a chemical in your brain known as dopamine(多巴胺) which is sometimes called the "reward molecule" and its release gives you a feeling of pleasure. For instance, when you post a photo on WeChat and get a hundred likes, you feel happy. That's dopamine at work.
In my case, being off WeChat left me with a feeling of anxiety for a few days. No doubt I missed my dopamine. And I got e-mails from friends wondering if I was fine or if I was just being anti-social(不喜欢社交的）. But I soon began to feel quite peaceful and started to worry less about what other people were doing and concentrate more on my personal life. And it is an added bonus that I'm getting better sleep at night.
I'm not advocating that all of you quit social media, but spending less time on these platforms does bring you advantages. You could start by leaving your phone
at home when you go to school( For some, that's already a school rule). And it is also a good idea to charge your phone outside of your bedroom at night, as you are unlikely to get a good night's sleep when the notification( 通 知 ) bell keeps ringing.
Someday I may reconnect with my WeChat account, but I'm not in a hurry.
Life can be more relaxing and just as interesting without it.
The author mentions his/her disconnection with WeChat at the beginning of the passage to .
introduce the disadvantages of social media
explain why he lost access to his WeChat account
illustrate the function of dopamine
prove how WeChat makes life easier
What is the current situation of social media in the United States according to the passage
Twitter and Facebook dominate all the social media.
Famous people have deserted Twitter and Facebook for other social media.
An increasing number of people are losing interest in social media.
Social media add to people’s happiness and life convenience.
What does the fourth paragraph talk about
How dopamine works when you are posting or reading posts.
The reason behind people's addiction to social media.
Why WeChat is so popular among ordinary people.
What you can do if you want to get many likes on WeChat.
What is the author's attitude towards social media
To turn away from them as soon as possible.
To choose a social media platform that suits you.
To connect with them is acceptable if you aren’t addicted to it.
To quit them will make your life more relaxing and interesting.

VI. 阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Seven years ago, my wife told our 6-year-old daughter about our wedding weekend. My wife had moved back home to spend the weekend with her family.
As I was tucking our daughter in (把女儿的被子掖好) later that night, she asked if she could “come home like mommy did” when she got married one day.
Hopefully, one day far off into the future... I told her our house would always be open to her. She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was extremely happy.
After a few seconds, I could see her mind churning (思绪翻腾)---the happiness dissipated. She pushed her finger into my belly and told me in low spirits, “Your belly is too big and you are too fat. I don’t know if you are going to make it.”
I was shocked. It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the previous five years as I was building Contegix. I had not thought of it as destroying a future with my family. A 6-year-old girl saw what I missed.
I decided to run a mile the next morning. I couldn’t make it 1/4 mile. I didn’t give up and went out the next morning.
Seven years later, I have lost 60 pounds and regularly run ultra marathons. I attempted my first 100 miles last August, but I missed the terminal point at mile 87 after running on a torn hamstring (腿筋撕裂) for the previous 79 miles.
Yet, the most important distance I will ever go will be walking her down the aisle (结婚) one day. I would not make it if it hadn’t been for the honesty and innocence of a 6-year-old.
Why was the author’s daughter happy (no more than 15 words)
What does the underlined word “dissipated” in Paragraph 3 mean (one word)
What happened to the author as he was building Contegix (no more than 10 words)
What does the author regularly do seven years later (no more than 5 words)
What do you think of the author Please explain. (no more than 25 words)
