Wushu is becoming more and more popular among Palestinian girls in the West Bank.
Sport Plus Academy is one of those sports clubs that teach girls wushu. "Until now, there have been more than 100 girls who have joined our team, and the number of trainees（受训者） has been doubled in the past few months," says Bissan Jarrar, the first woman coach of wushu from Ramallah City. Four years ago, Jarrar became interested in mastering wushu. Later, the young woman managed to win local and international prizes and finally became a coach for wushu. According to the 25-year-old coach, it is new that the Palestinian girls would like to be part of this special sport.

The 14-year-old girl says, "It has helped me change my character and become stronger."In her opinion, wushu has succeeded in putting women and men on the same level, as it depends on minds rather than muscles（肌肉） only.

According to him, any girl can join this sport and can be trained to become a professional（专业的） player and join in Arab and international competitions.

To many people, art is a human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence （AI） creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace（替代） artists.
But 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 recently attracted attention. AI was used to create the music based on the protein（蛋白质）structure of pandemic. The music lasted nearly two hours. The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor of engineering. He assigned（指定）a unique（独特的）note to each amino acid（氨基酸）in the protein. The AI then translated these notes into music.
Listeners found the project "mind- blowing". "It allows me to see the virus in a new way," said one listener. This surprising combination（结合） between science and art could not be achieved without AI. As The Verge wrote, "AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before."
Apart from creating imaginative works, AI can also take care of repetitive tasks for artists. For example, in the comic and cartoon industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically （自动地）colour in black-and- white line drawings. Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup, it can give artists room to experiment（实验）by cutting down the time it takes to colour each picture.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, "Art of every kind has always been influenced by technological developments."AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it's welcome and not unfairly feared.
（　　）9. According to the passage, AI can't
A. write poems B. paint C. replace artists D. create music
（　　）10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the third and fourth paragraphs
A. AI created a piece of music about pandemic.
B. Many of AI's art creations are beyond artists' imagination.
C. Science and art can be combined with the help of AI.
D. Markus Buehler is not a professor of engineering, but a musician.
（　　）11. The underlined phrase "Apart from" in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by"_______".
A. Besides B. Instead of C. Because of D. According to
（　　）12. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Technological developments have greatly influenced people's daily lives.
B. AI has been widely used in science research.
C. AI is bringing more help to the art world as a useful tool.
D. AI's creativity has caused more and more worries.
