Issac Newton was a quiet boy. Having lost his father before he was born, he grew up with his grandparents. At 17, soon after he finished schooling, his mother decided that he would be trained to take care of their family farm.

To many people, art is a human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about AI creating its own art. Some people worry that AI might replace artists someday.
However, this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now. Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI attracted people's attention. AI was used to turn the novel corona virus into a piece of music based on its protein structure (蛋白质结构)：The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician.
Except for creating imaginative works, AI can also do some easy work for artists again and again. For example, in the comic and animation industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自 动地)color in black-and-white line drawings.
"Although the results require a little clean-up, it could give artists time to experiment, by cutting down the time it takes to color each drawing. " said a famous animator.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technological (技术的)development. AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if people don’t fear it and try to welcome it.
What else can AI do
AI can learn different music styles by analyzing (分析)audio data. It uses this data to create music ranging from pop to jazz and more.
AI can learn different styles of paintings. For example, it can learn paintings of impressionism, and then-recreate paintings in the same style.
AI can be trained with past text to find trends and write or translate articles and poems. It can also help collect data and facts for news wilting.
11. What's the writer's opinion about AI
A. It is just useful for artists. B. People needn't be afraid of it.
C. People can't depend on it too much. D. It can be harmful to people in some way.
22. What's the main idea of the fourth paragraph
A. AI can make everything possible.
B. AI can do everything better than humans.
C. AI can save time for artists to experiment.
D. AI can only do the difficult work for artists.
23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. AI can help people make music.
B. AI can learn and recreate paintings.
C. AI can colour everything better than the real painters.
D. AI can help collect information for news writing.
24. What can we learn from the passage
