Many people thought Picasso’s works were strange and unpleasant.Still,he had a great influence on artists in every country.Today,Picasso is regarded as a genius,and his paintings are in the museums all over the world.
In 1912,Picasso actually invented a new type of art.He painted a picture,and then he pasted bits of paper and something else on the picture.This picture of art is called collage(拼贴艺术).
Picasso was not only a painter,but also a sculptor (雕刻家) and a designer of scenery for plays.There are even some photographs of “light paintings” that he created.These paintings were produced by moving a light pencil,or a small flashlight in the air.Although the images could be seen only by people watching them happen,the camera was able to catch the images as they occurred.
By the time he died in France in April of 1973,he had created 22,000 works of art.
When he was asked how someone could become an artist,Picasso would reply,“If you want to draw,you must shut your eyes and sing.”

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)Thursday at Christie's, an art auction house, in New York City. Officials had predicted it would sell for between $7,000 and $10,000.
In a website post, Christie's said the AI-created work was the first ever sold by a major auction house. It praised the sale as a signal of “the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage”.
The artwork, called “Portrait(画像)of Edmond Belamy”, was made by a machine having learnt the algorithm(算法). The AI system was created by members of an art group called Obvious in Paris,France. It shows the portrait of a man, looking similar to subjects shown in historical paintings. Christie's described some differences of the AI-created work compared to other art it had sold. For example, it said some parts of the face were not as clearly drawn as those painted by artists. Also, some parts of the print were left empty. However, Christie's sale organizer Richard Lloyd said the piece was very similar to many others sold over many years.
Three creators from the art group Obvious cooperated in the process of making the print. First, 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 20th centuries. Then a tool called the “Generator” made a new image based on the information entered into the system. After that, another tool, called the “Discriminator”, attempted to find differences between the human-made image and the one created by the Generator. Then the image was improved. “The aim is to fool the Discriminator into thinking that the new images are real-life portraits. Then we have a result,” Hugo Caselles-Dupré, a member of the Obvious group, said in a statement.
5.What can be inferred from the text
A.The AI portrait received much recognition.
B.There is little true artistic value in the AI artwork.
C.Technology will one day replace human artists.
D.There is no similar AI system for art nowadays.
6.What does the underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Artists. B.Machines.
C.Figures. D.Techniques.
7.What is the final purpose of a “Discriminator”
A.To select useful information from real-life portraits.
B.To help the portrait look more like a human-made one.
C.To put human portraits into the machine learning system.
D.To create a portrait based on paintings by human artists.
87.What can be the suitable title for the text
A.The Secrets of AI
B.AI Portrait Sold
C.Artworks and AI
D.AI Art at Christie's
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一幅人工智能创作的肖像被卖出大大超出预期的价格并介绍了人工智能艺术品与人造艺术品之间的区别及人工智能艺术品的创造过程。
5.A 推理判断题。 根据前两段的内容可知,这个作品是有史以来第一个被大型拍卖行拍卖的人工智能创作的作品,并且拍出了不错的价钱。由此可推断出,人工智能画像得到了人们的认可。故选A项。B项“人工智能艺术品几乎没有真正的艺术价值”的表述不正确,C项“科技总有一天会取代人类艺术家”和D项“现在的艺术没有类似的人工智能系统”在文中无相关信息。
6.C 词义猜测题。根据上下文可推断出,画线词所在句表示“它展示的是一个人的肖像,看起来与历史绘画中的人物相似。”figure意为“人物”,符合句意。故选C项。A项“艺术家”、B项“机器”和D项“技巧”均不符合句意。
7.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中After that, another tool, called the “Discriminator”, attempted to find differences between the human-made image and the one created by the Generator. Then the image was improved.(在那之后,另一个叫作“鉴别器”的工具试图找出人造图像和生成器创建的图像之间的差异。然后图像得到了改善。)可知,鉴别器可以找出人造图像和生成器创建的图像之间的差异,然后对生成器创建的图像进行改善,让它更像人造图像。由此可推断出,鉴别器的最终目的是使生成器创建的肖像更像一幅人造的肖像。故选B项。
8.B 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句A work of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) has been sold by a major art seller for the first time.(一件由人工智能创作的艺术品首次被一家大型艺术品销售商售出。)以及后文内容可知,本文主要讲的是一件由人工智能创作的艺术品首次被一家大型艺术品销售商售出并介绍了人工智能艺术品与人造艺术品之间的区别及人工智能艺术品的创造过程。B项“AI Portrait Sold”包含了本文的两个核心词(AI和portrait),最能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。

Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem. Between January and late March. many major cities experienced an increase in Internet traffic.
Video meetings, online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have become a daily routine. This increase in traffic is testing the Internet' s strength. In March. major phone networks in the UK experienced mass outages(断供). People were not able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data.
In the US, major telecommunications companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21 percent month over month. Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.
China has seen an Internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019. The country's network speeds went down sharply in early February. However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well. This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure(基础设施), especially 5G technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has given Chinese networks the power to handle increased traffic.
“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly," said Wen Kun, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
9. What happened to the Internet due to COVID-19
A. Internet traffic was jammed. B. Internet access was cut off.
C. Internet service was ignored. D. Internet community was ruined.
10. Why did some US companies cut download speeds
A. To increase Internet strength. B. To improve picture qualities.
C. To avoid Internet breakdown. D. To reduce the number of users.
11. Compared with other countries. China's Internet system_________.
A. suffered bigger losses B. recovered faster
C. cost less money D. started earlier
12. What is Wen Kun's attitude towards China's Internet network
A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Critical. D. Positive.
9. A 10. C 114. B 12. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了COVID-19时期人们大量的工作、学习、活动转为线上进行而导致的“网络拥堵”现象，并着重说明中国互联网基础设施的发展成功应对了这一挑战。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem.”可知，随着更多的人涌入网络，“网络交通”成为了一个巨大的问题，而对于这个具体的问题，可以在原文第三段中找到线索“This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.”相关公司采取措施是为了降低网络的“交通拥堵”，故A选项“网络交通出现拥堵”符合原文，而干扰项B称“互联网接入被切断”不符合原文，其程度过于严重，故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.”可知，这些视频流服务降低了画面质量和下载速度，这样做是为了降低网络拥堵程度，防止其完全宕机，彻底崩溃，故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well.”可知，中国的互联网很快就恢复了正常使用，B选项“更快恢复”符合原文，故选B。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。本题是对于观点态度判断，根据原文最后一段其所说的话“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly”可知，“如果在互联网领域没有这样的发展，人们很难在家就享受到这么多彩的生活，在线的工作和教学从未像现在这样如此流畅地实现。”据此推断，他对中国互联网发展持积极的态度，故选D项（positive）。

One of America's best-known artists' colonies, the MacDowell Colony, will turn 114 next year. It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions (令人分心的事物) and just create.
MacDowell's operations are funded by foundations, corporations and individuals. Writers, composers, photographers, film-makers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place. Once accepted, an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks, or as long as a couple of months.
When they arrive, artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world. There's no phone, no fax, no friend and no family. It's just a cabin in the snowy woods.
Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City. She came to MacDowell to work on a novel. She received a desk, chairs, pencils and paper—and ice grippers. The walk from one isolated, one-room studio to another is icy, so colony residents (居住的人) fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.
Another colony resident, Belfast composer Elaine Agnew, plays a piece called To a Wild Rose, written by Edward MacDowell. She says it's so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune. A hundred years ago, MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his death, his wife, Marian, encouraged other artists to come.
And for the last century, artists have accepted the invitation, coming to step outside of their daily lives for a short time. Privacy is respected, but cooperation and discussion are common.
Screenwriter L.M. Kit Carson—who wrote The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the film adaptation of Sam Shepard's play Paris, Texas—has visited MacDowell twice. He says that the interdisciplinary(跨学科的) discussion there is valuable.
“You sit around at dinner, talking, and then somebody runs off and brings you back some stuff and shows it to you,” he says. “That, I didn't realize, is part of the magic here, because people are really open to showing their opinions here.”
13.What do the colony residents have in common
A.They find it hard to survive the loneliness.
B.They usually stay in the colony for months.
C.They are already famous in their own field.
D.They are nearly cut off from the outside world.
14.Why does the author mention Elaine Agnew
A.To show the wide range of the residents.
B.To introduce the origin of the colony.
C.To admire her great musical talent.
D.To show respect for MacDowell.
15.Where does the magic of the MacDowell Colony lie according to L.M. Kit Carson
A.It has a homely feel.
B.It values the balance between work and play.
C.It encourages privacy greatly.
D.It has an idea-sharing atmosphere.
16.What would be the best title for the text
A.A wonderland for artists
B.The creativity at work
C.A happy birthday
D.The power of silence
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了美国一个著名的艺术家聚居地——麦克道威尔文艺营(MacDowell Colony),并介绍了它的特点、起源以及艺术家选择在这里进行创作的原因。
13.D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When they arrive, artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world. There;s no phone, no fax, no friend and no family. It;s just a cabin in the snowy woods.”可知,这个艺术家聚居地能够给人与世隔绝的感觉,这里没有电话、传真、朋友及家人。故选D。
14.B 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“She says it;s so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune. A hundred years ago, MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his death, his wife, Marian, encouraged other artists to come.”可知,第五段提到作曲家Elaine Agnew, 由她演奏麦克道威尔的名曲《致野玫瑰》进而谈到麦克道威尔喜欢这个地方与世隔绝的状态,认为人们在此地很适合进行创作。他去世后,他的妻子也鼓励其他艺术家来此地创作。据此推断,作者介绍Elaine Agnew是想介绍这个艺术家聚居地的起源。故选B。
15.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘That, I didn;t realize, is
part of the magic here, because people are really open to showing their opinions here.’”可知,L.M.Kit Carson认为麦克道威尔文艺营的魅力在于人们真的很愿意在这里展示他们的观点,因此这里有分享观点的氛围。故选D。
16.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文讲述了美国一个著名的艺术家聚居地——麦克道威尔文艺营(MacDowell Colony),并介绍了它的特点、起源以及艺术家选择在这里进行创作的原因。全文围绕着这个文艺营展开描述。故选A。

Picasso was not only a painter,but also a sculptor (雕刻家) and a designer of scenery for plays.There are even some photographs of “light paintings” that he created.These paintings were produced by moving a light pencil,or a small flashlight in the air.Although the images could be seen only by people watching them happen,the camera was able to catch the images as they occurred.
By the time he died in France in April of 1973,he had created 22,000 works of art.

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)Thursday at Christie's, an art auction house, in New York City. Officials had predicted it would sell for between $7,000 and $10,000.
In a website post, Christie's said the AI-created work was the first ever sold by a major auction house. It praised the sale as a signal of “the arrival of AI art on the world auction stage”.
The artwork, called “Portrait(画像)of Edmond Belamy”, was made by a machine having learnt the algorithm(算法). The AI system was created by members of an art group called Obvious in Paris,France. It shows the portrait of a man, looking similar to subjects shown in historical paintings. Christie's described some differences of the AI-created work compared to other art it had sold. For example, it said some parts of the face were not as clearly drawn as those painted by artists. Also, some parts of the print were left empty. However, Christie's sale organizer Richard Lloyd said the piece was very similar to many others sold over many years.
Three creators from the art group Obvious cooperated in the process of making the print. First, 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 20th centuries. Then a tool called the “Generator” made a new image based on the information entered into the system. After that, another tool, called the “Discriminator”, attempted to find differences between the human-made image and the one created by the Generator. Then the image was improved. “The aim is to fool the Discriminator into thinking that the new images are real-life portraits. Then we have a result,” Hugo Caselles-Dupré, a member of the Obvious group, said in a statement.
5.What can be inferred from the text
A.The AI portrait received much recognition.
B.There is little true artistic value in the AI artwork.
C.Technology will one day replace human artists.
D.There is no similar AI system for art nowadays.
6.What does the underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Artists. B.Machines.
C.Figures. D.Techniques.
7.What is the final purpose of a “Discriminator”
A.To select useful information from real-life portraits.
B.To help the portrait look more like a human-made one.
C.To put human portraits into the machine learning system.
D.To create a portrait based on paintings by human artists.
87.What can be the suitable title for the text
A.The Secrets of AI
B.AI Portrait Sold
C.Artworks and AI
D.AI Art at Christie's

Life has gone mostly online for many people around the world. With more people going online during the COVID-19 pandemic, global Internet traffic has become a big problem. Between January and late March. many major cities experienced an increase in Internet traffic.
Video meetings, online classrooms and stay-at-home entertainment have become a daily routine. This increase in traffic is testing the Internet' s strength. In March. major phone networks in the UK experienced mass outages(断供). People were not able to take calls, receive texts or use mobile data.
In the US, major telecommunications companies like AT&T said traffic was up 21 percent month over month. Video streaming services like You Tube, Netflix and Facebook have cut their picture qualities and download speeds. This is being done to reduce network traffic jams.
China has seen an Internet traffic increase of around 50 percent compared to the end of 2019. The country's network speeds went down sharply in early February. However, they returned to normal soon afterwards and have been working well. This is due to China’s work in building network infrastructure(基础设施), especially 5G technology. By the end of February, 164,000 5G base stations had been built nationwide. This has given Chinese networks the power to handle increased traffic.
“If there were no such development in the Internet network field. people could hardly enjoy such a colorful life at home. Online working and teaching could never be realized so smoothly," said Wen Kun, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

One of America's best-known artists' colonies, the MacDowell Colony, will turn 114 next year. It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions (令人分心的事物) and just create.
MacDowell's operations are funded by foundations, corporations and individuals. Writers, composers, photographers, film-makers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place. Once accepted, an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks, or as long as a couple of months.
When they arrive, artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world. There's no phone, no fax, no friend and no family. It's just a cabin in the snowy woods.
Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City. She came to MacDowell to work on a novel. She received a desk, chairs, pencils and paper—and ice grippers. The walk from one isolated, one-room studio to another is icy, so colony residents (居住的人) fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.
Another colony resident, Belfast composer Elaine Agnew, plays a piece called To a Wild Rose, written by Edward MacDowell. She says it's so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune. A hundred years ago, MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his death, his wife, Marian, encouraged other artists to come.
And for the last century, artists have accepted the invitation, coming to step outside of their daily lives for a short time. Privacy is respected, but cooperation and discussion are common.
Screenwriter L.M. Kit Carson—who wrote The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the film adaptation of Sam Shepard's play Paris, Texas—has visited MacDowell twice. He says that the interdisciplinary(跨学科的) discussion there is valuable.
“You sit around at dinner, talking, and then somebody runs off and brings you back some stuff and shows it to you,” he says. “That, I didn't realize, is part of the magic here, because people are really open to showing their opinions here.”
13.What do the colony residents have in common
A.They find it hard to survive the loneliness.
B.They usually stay in the colony for months.
C.They are already famous in their own field.
D.They are nearly cut off from the outside world.
14.Why does the author mention Elaine Agnew
A.To show the wide range of the residents.
B.To introduce the origin of the colony.
C.To admire her great musical talent.
D.To show respect for MacDowell.
15.Where does the magic of the MacDowell Colony lie according to L.M. Kit Carson
A.It has a homely feel.
B.It values the balance between work and play.
C.It encourages privacy greatly.
D.It has an idea-sharing atmosphere.
16.What would be the best title for the text
A.A wonderland for artists
B.The creativity at work
C.A happy birthday
D.The power of silence
