C.They are similar to Chinese dumplings.
【答案】17.B 18.C 19.C 20.A
【原文】W: Dumplings are a style of food that can be found about everywhere you go. They have many names but may be the most delicious food around the world. In the most basic sense, a dumpling consists of the skin and fillings. As is known, China is the dumpling capital of the world. Jiaozi is a Chinese dumpling. It typically consists of a ground meat and vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough. It may be divided into various types depending on how they are cooked. Miyazawa, a Japanese cook, says, “Japanese dumplings came from China at the beginning, but Chinese dumplings are mostly boiled. However, gyoza, a pan-fried meat dumpling, is more common in Japan. It is in a half-moon shape. Its bottom is crispy while the top is softer, thanks to how it is steamed after being pan-fried.” In my hometown, local people tend to call ravioli the Italian dumpling on account of its similar shape. However, they are actually a kind of pasta. Although they are food in the form of “dumplings”, there are big differences in their fillings, cooking methods and sauces that will go with them. For instance, ravioli are in square shape and the fillings can be cheese besides meat and vegetables.

22.细节理解题。根据Working holiday visa部分中“Some 50 countries across the globe allow people between the ages of 18 and 30 to apply for the 12-month visa program, permitting young adventurers to live and work in a new country.(全球约有50个国家允许年龄在18岁至30岁之间的人申请为期12个月的签证计划,允许年轻的冒险家在一个新的国家生活和工作)”可知,持有工作假期签证的学生可以在外国工作一年,故选B。

B
He passed away many years ago. Father of the year (年度最佳父亲), my dad was not. That said, in some ways, he was a better parent than many dads are today.
He loved to attend my hockey (曲棍球) games. He tied my skates for years when I was young. But he didn’t go to a single one of the hundreds of soccer games I played as a kid. I didn’t care. All I wanted from my parents was a ride to the game. I was there to see my friends, not perform for Mom and Dad.
That’s why I don’t understand helicopter parents, the ones who suffer from great guilt and shame if they can’t make every single piano practice or football game. Your kids probably don’t care. Let them go and have some fun. All that matters is that you drop them off and pick them up on time. Consistency is king.
Of course, when kids are really young, they want to spend time with you. And they want you, the parent, to be focused on spending time with them, not checking your phone. “Wherever you are, be there,” said the great Jim Rohn.
My dad never had a cell phone. He never used the Internet. I don’t even think he ever touched a computer. But even if he did have a phone, I can’t imagine him checking when we would play catch in the backyard.
He was present. Every day in the summer, right after lunch, we’d play catch. He’d teach me how to throw a curve ball (曲线球). Sometimes he’d pitch to me, and when he’d hit me with a fastball, he’d say, “That’ll toughen you up.” We’d play until we lost all of the balls in the garden, not until he was distracted by a cellphone. Jim Rohn would have approved of his presence, although perhaps not his attitude about fastballs.
24.What’s the author’s attitude towards his father
A.Ashamed. B.Satisfactory. C.Critical. D.Sympathetic.
25.What do the underlined words “helicopter parents” in paragraph 3 refer to
A.The parents who can fly helicopters.
B.The parents who pick up their kids on time.
C.The parents who enjoy participating in sports.
D.The parents who focus too much on their kids.
26.Why are the great Jim Rohn’s words mentioned in paragraph 4
A.To tell parents to stop using their cell phones.
B.To tell parents to keep in touch with their kids.
C.To tell parents to value the time with their kids.
D.To tell parents to follow their kids wherever they go.
27.What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs
A.His father was low. B.His father was rude.
C.His father was energetic. D.His father was present.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.C 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者回忆了父亲给予的陪伴,并告诉我们孩子更希望得到父母真正意义的陪伴,而不是在一旁玩手机。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“he was a better parent than many dads are today.(他是一个比今天许多父亲更好的父亲)”可推知,作者对自己的父亲感到满意。故选B项。
25.词句猜测题。根据划线词helicopter parents后定语从句“the ones who suffer from great guilt and shame if they can’t make every single piano practice or football game.(那些因为不能参加每一次钢琴练习或足球比赛而感到非常内疚和羞耻的父母)”可推知,helicopter parents是指那些过于关注孩子的父母。故选D项。
26.推理判断题。第四段“Of course, when kids are really young, they want to spend time with you. And they want you, the parent, to be focused on spending time with them, not checking your phone. ‘Wherever you are, be there,’ said the great Jim Rohn.(当然,当孩子还很小的时候,他们想和你在一起。他们希望作为父母的你能花时间和他们在一起,而不是看你的手机。伟大的吉姆·罗恩说:‘无论你在哪里,都要真正在那里。’)”中提出孩子小时候需要父母真正的陪伴,而不是在一旁玩手机。最后引用吉姆·罗恩的话也是强调要真正的陪伴孩子,要珍惜和孩子在一起的时间。故选C项。
27.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But even if he did have a phone, I can’t imagine him checking when we would play catch in the backyard.(但即使他有手机,我想象不出当我们在后院玩接球游戏时,他会查看手机)”和最后一段中“He was present. Every day in the summer, right after lunch, we’d play catch. He’d teach me how to throw a curve ball (曲线球). Sometimes he’d pitch to me, and when he’d hit me with a fastball, he’d say, “That’ll toughen you up.” We’d play until we lost all of the balls in the garden, not until he was distracted by a cellphone. Jim Rohn would have approved of his presence, although perhaps not his attitude about fastballs.(他在场。夏天的每一天,午饭后,我们都会玩接球游戏。他会教我怎么扔弧线球。有时他会向我投球,当他用快速球击中我时,他会说:“这会让你变得更坚强。”我们会一直玩到花园里所有的球都丢了,而不直到他被手机分散了注意力。会尽管吉姆·罗恩对他对快球的态度可能会有不同看法,但会赞成他的“在场”)”可推知,在最后两段,作者讲述了与父亲一起玩接球游戏,是想告诉我们“父亲真的在场”。故选D项。
C
Is future you It might seem like a strange philosophical question. But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you might eventually regret.
The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI (核磁共振成像) when people think about their future selves most like the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger
However, if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self, you are considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow. A paper in the journal PLoS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-being. In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5, 000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived a great overlap (重叠) in qualities between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling out the initial survey.
So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates The psychological mindset with what we call ”vividness interventions“ works. We have found, for instance, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a letter to-and then from-your future self. As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students engaged in this type of ”send-and-reply“ exercise, they experienced elevated (升高的) levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives-both today and tomorrow.
28.What’s the function of paragraph 2
A.Generating further discussion. B.Introducing a research result.
C.Showing the effect of the finding. D.Concluding various viewpoints.
29.How does the author prove his statements
A.By offering relevant statistics. B.By using quotations.
C.By referring to previous findings. D.By making comparisons.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Benefits of befriending our future selves.
B.Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C.Methods of changing psychological mindsets.
D.Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
31.What does the article want to tell us
A.Making future plans makes a difference.
B.Our future selves look like other people.
C.Getting to know your future self benefits.
D.Your choice affects the fates of strangers.
【答案】28.A 29.C 30.B 31.C
【导语】这是一片说明文。文章主要介绍了与自己未来建立联系的好处,以及如何与未来的自己建立联系,并为未来做出有益的选择。
28.推理判断题。根据第二段“The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI(核磁共振成像)when people think about their future selves most like the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger (当人们思考未来的自我时,核磁共振成像上出现的大脑模式最像是当他们思考陌生人时产生的大脑模式。这一发现表明,在大脑的眼中,我们未来的自己看起来和其他人一样。如果你把未来的自己视为一个不同的人,你为什么要省钱、吃得更健康或更经常地锻炼来造福那个陌生人?)”可推知,本段通过设问来引出下文,产生进一步的讨论,为什么要和未来的自己建立联系。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段第二句话到最后一句话“A paper in the journal PLoS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-being. In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5, 000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived a great overlap(重叠) in qualities between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling out the initial survey. (《公共科学图书馆综合》杂志上的一篇论文显示,与未来自我有更大联系感和相似感的大学生更有可能在学业上取得成功。与未来自我的关系对整体心理健康也很重要。在Joseph Reiff领导的一个项目中,包括5000名年龄在20岁至75岁之间的成年人,他发现那些认为自己现在和未来的品质有很大重叠的人,在完成最初的调查10年后,最终对自己的生活更加满意)”可推知,作者通过参考先前的发现来证明他的陈述。故选C。
30.主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句话“So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates (那么,我们如何才能更好地与未来的自己成为朋友,并与他们的命运更加紧密地联系在一起呢?)”以及全段内容来看,本段主要介绍了与未来的自己联系的方式。故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据第一段中第二句话“But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you might eventually regret.(但是,你如何看待未来的自己的答案可能会决定你最终感到满意的决定和你最终可能后悔的决定)”及第三段的第二、三句话“A paper in the journal PLoS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-being.(《公共科学图书馆综合》杂志上的一篇论文显示,与未来自我有更大联系感和相似感的大学生更有可能在学业上取得成功。与未来自我的关系对整体心理健康也很重要)”和最后一段“Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives-both today and tomorrow(写信和可视化练习只是我们与未来自我和未来自我联系的几种方式,但这里更大的教训是明确的:如果我们能把遥远的自我当作我们爱、关心和想要支持的人来对待,我们就能开始为他们做出选择,改善我们今天和明天的生活)”可知,文章介绍了与未来自己建立联系的好处,如何与未来的自己建立联系,并为未来做出有益的选择。由此推知,这篇文章想告诉我们了解未来的自己的利好处。故选C。
D
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned tome showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
32.What does the writer think of his image creation
A.Exciting. B.Appealing C.Unsatisfying. D.Shocking.
33.What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A.The creating process. B.The final work.
C.Personal feelings. D.External forms.
34.What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A.The styles of human artworks and AI ones.
B.Human artists’ influence on AI generators.
C.Different means used in human and AI art creation.
D.The drawbacks of drawing from existing art and text.
35.Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph
A.Art is the mirror of life.
B.Rome is not built in a day.
C.No man can do two things at once.
D.Jack of all trades, master of none.
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.C 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了儿童插画家的观点:人工智能创造的艺术不是真正的艺术。
32.推理判断题。根据第二段中“But closer examination shows oddities, The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction. (但仔细观察会发现一些奇怪的地方,我脑海中那个女人的脸有非常奇怪的特征,似乎拿着多本书。而且,虽然看到图像出现时最初会感到兴奋,但没有创造性的满足感。)”可知,作者对他的图像创作不满意,故选C项。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the finAIpiece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. (从根本上说,艺术就是将你内在感受到的东西转化为外在存在的东西。无论采取何种形式,真正的艺术都关乎创作过程,而不是最终作品。简单地按下按钮来生成图像并不是一个创造性的过程。)”可知,儿童插画家最看重艺术创作过程,因为艺术的核心是将内在感受转化为外在存在,真正的艺术更多地关注创作过程而不是最终作品,故选A项。
34.主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy. (除了创造力之外,还有更深层次的问题。为了从提示创建图像,AI生成器依赖于现有艺术和文本的数据库。这可能导致在未经其他艺术家同意的情况下故意模仿其他艺术家风格的图像。有一种观点认为,在受到他人作品的影响时,人工智能发电机的工作方式与人类没有什么不同,但是,人类艺术家也在混合中添加了情感和细微差别。人工智能不会做同样的事情——它只能复制。)”可知,第四段主要讲述了人类和人工智能艺术创作中使用的不同手段,故选C项。
35.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course.

Reading a new story alone is often a great way to relax. However, sometimes you just want to discuss what you’ve read with another person to bring those ideas off the page and into the world. 36
First, find members. When you begin searching for your book club members, look in the places in your life that feel most natural to you. 37 Then, maybe it’s posting a notice on the bulletin board of your local library or bookstore. If you’re looking to “get a range of perspectives” from your club, you may want to consider looking for a diverse range of ages and genders. They can bring their varied world views to discussions.
38 Will your time together be spent largely focusing on the novel at hand, or will refreshments ultimately be the most important There’s the typical friends gathering at someone’s apartment and having cheese and wine approach. But oftentimes, people will be frustrated because they just turn into a social event rather than focusing on the book. In order to make sure your new group is all on the same page, take the time to discuss what you want to get out of regular club gatherings before your first official meeting.
Picking books may seem like the trickiest part. Books that work really well are ones that allow you to reflect on self. They have a lot of entry points for people so they probably have a good setting. The pacing is solid. There’s great character development and the language doesn’t get in the way of the story. 39
Before your meetings, list some discussion questions. Remember to come up with questions depending on your book’s genre: romance, mystery, thriller and so on. 40 For example, you may ask which scene has stuck with them the most or whether there are any standout sentences.

B.Here’s a look of four of our favorites below.
C.To start, reach out to your friends who love to read.

(选书似乎是最棘手的部分。真正有效的书是那些让你反思自我的书。他们有很多入口,所以他们可能有一个很好的设置。节奏很稳定。角色发展很好,语言也没有妨碍故事的发展。)”可知本段讲述了如何选书,所以设空处应是对上文的总结,讲述这样选书的好处,选项F“选择符合这些标准的东西,你可以取悦各种各样的读者。”符合题意,故选F。
40.根据上文“Before your meetings, list some discussion questions. Remember to come up with questions depending on your book’s genre: romance, mystery, thriller and so on.

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I spotted my neighbor, Monica, working in her garden one day when I returned home from school. It was sunny, and the smell of cut grass made me feel refreshed. I popped my head over the fence, and Monica and I got talking.
“I’ve seen you’re very good at using a lawn mower(割草机) and gardening tools,” Monica said. “There’s a hedge(树篱) growing over the pathway near here. It’s so overgrown that it becomes a head ache for the passers-by. I was planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out ”
I loved the idea of helping Monica and our community. We agreed to cut the hedge the following Sunday. My brother Ivan, aged 10, also came along to help us. We wheeled Monica’s garbage can down to the hedge, which the community council was responsible for. All three of us cut it with shears (大剪刀) until a trouble-free pathway came in sight. Mr. Brown, a wheelchair user, was grateful that he didn’t have to make a detour(绕行) any more to pass the hedge. Encouraged by his words, I suggested doing more for our community, to make it a better place.
When we first started, we just made the best of the equipment we already had in my parents’ garage. But as time went on, donations came in from the local community. Our garage got filled up quickly with brushes, gardening tools, and even donated power tools like leaf blowers. With everything ready, our first project was to beautiful park near our houses, which looked a bit run-down. Ivan was in charge of painting the fence around, Monica cleared the lawn with a leaf blower, and I was responsible for repairing the benches where our neighbors usually sat at their leisure. After two weeks’ hard work, we felt stunned when stepping back and appreciating the clean and brand new small park. My heart swelled with pride because our efforts paid off.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
I posted photos of our hard work on our local Facebook Group. Shared and forwarded, the photos made a splash immediately. Hundreds of likes poured in like snowflakes after people knew the story. Someone commented that it inspired him to help the community. Thinking highly of the small park, another expressed his gratitude for our effort to bring convenience to the residents here. With our project getting around, we felt thrilled. Many people wanted to get involved to make our community more beautiful. Then, the second project was born.
With more neighbors joining in, we headed for the flower bed near the community center. The task of this time was heavier than before. Trimming the bushes with shears, turning the soil with spades, and tidying the withered fallen leaves with leaf blowers, we put our project in full swing. Some time later various beautiful flowers donated by our neighbors were transplanted perfectly. Seeing the brand new flower bed, I was consumed with joy, because we all devoted ourselves to making a difference to our community, making it a better place for the residents.

B
He passed away many years ago. Father of the year (年度最佳父亲), my dad was not. That said, in some ways, he was a better parent than many dads are today.
He loved to attend my hockey (曲棍球) games. He tied my skates for years when I was young. But he didn’t go to a single one of the hundreds of soccer games I played as a kid. I didn’t care. All I wanted from my parents was a ride to the game. I was there to see my friends, not perform for Mom and Dad.
That’s why I don’t understand helicopter parents, the ones who suffer from great guilt and shame if they can’t make every single piano practice or football game. Your kids probably don’t care. Let them go and have some fun. All that matters is that you drop them off and pick them up on time. Consistency is king.
Of course, when kids are really young, they want to spend time with you. And they want you, the parent, to be focused on spending time with them, not checking your phone. “Wherever you are, be there,” said the great Jim Rohn.
My dad never had a cell phone. He never used the Internet. I don’t even think he ever touched a computer. But even if he did have a phone, I can’t imagine him checking when we would play catch in the backyard.
He was present. Every day in the summer, right after lunch, we’d play catch. He’d teach me how to throw a curve ball (曲线球). Sometimes he’d pitch to me, and when he’d hit me with a fastball, he’d say, “That’ll toughen you up.” We’d play until we lost all of the balls in the garden, not until he was distracted by a cellphone. Jim Rohn would have approved of his presence, although perhaps not his attitude about fastballs.
24.What’s the author’s attitude towards his father
A.Ashamed. B.Satisfactory. C.Critical. D.Sympathetic.
25.What do the underlined words “helicopter parents” in paragraph 3 refer to
A.The parents who can fly helicopters.
B.The parents who pick up their kids on time.
C.The parents who enjoy participating in sports.
D.The parents who focus too much on their kids.
26.Why are the great Jim Rohn’s words mentioned in paragraph 4
A.To tell parents to stop using their cell phones.
B.To tell parents to keep in touch with their kids.
C.To tell parents to value the time with their kids.
D.To tell parents to follow their kids wherever they go.
27.What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs
A.His father was low. B.His father was rude.
C.His father was energetic. D.His father was present.

Is future you It might seem like a strange philosophical question. But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you might eventually regret.
The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI (核磁共振成像) when people think about their future selves most like the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger
However, if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self, you are considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow. A paper in the journal PLoS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-being. In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5, 000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived a great overlap (重叠) in qualities between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling out the initial survey.
So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates The psychological mindset with what we call ”vividness interventions“ works. We have found, for instance, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a letter to-and then from-your future self. As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students engaged in this type of ”send-and-reply“ exercise, they experienced elevated (升高的) levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives-both today and tomorrow.
28.What’s the function of paragraph 2
A.Generating further discussion. B.Introducing a research result.
C.Showing the effect of the finding. D.Concluding various viewpoints.
29.How does the author prove his statements
A.By offering relevant statistics. B.By using quotations.
C.By referring to previous findings. D.By making comparisons.
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Benefits of befriending our future selves.
B.Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C.Methods of changing psychological mindsets.
D.Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
31.What does the article want to tell us
A.Making future plans makes a difference.
B.Our future selves look like other people.
C.Getting to know your future self benefits.
D.Your choice affects the fates of strangers.

“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned tome showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction.
AI image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work, However, a human artist is also adding emotion and nuance (细微差别) into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as valid as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
32.What does the writer think of his image creation
A.Exciting. B.Appealing C.Unsatisfying. D.Shocking.
33.What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A.The creating process. B.The final work.
C.Personal feelings. D.External forms.
34.What is Paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A.The styles of human artworks and AI ones.
B.Human artists’ influence on AI generators.
C.Different means used in human and AI art creation.
D.The drawbacks of drawing from existing art and text.
35.Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph
A.Art is the mirror of life.
B.Rome is not built in a day.
C.No man can do two things at once.
D.Jack of all trades, master of none.

Reading a new story alone is often a great way to relax. However, sometimes you just want to discuss what you’ve read with another person to bring those ideas off the page and into the world. 36
First, find members. When you begin searching for your book club members, look in the places in your life that feel most natural to you. 37 Then, maybe it’s posting a notice on the bulletin board of your local library or bookstore. If you’re looking to “get a range of perspectives” from your club, you may want to consider looking for a diverse range of ages and genders. They can bring their varied world views to discussions.
38 Will your time together be spent largely focusing on the novel at hand, or will refreshments ultimately be the most important There’s the typical friends gathering at someone’s apartment and having cheese and wine approach. But oftentimes, people will be frustrated because they just turn into a social event rather than focusing on the book. In order to make sure your new group is all on the same page, take the time to discuss what you want to get out of regular club gatherings before your first official meeting.
Picking books may seem like the trickiest part. Books that work really well are ones that allow you to reflect on self. They have a lot of entry points for people so they probably have a good setting. The pacing is solid. There’s great character development and the language doesn’t get in the way of the story. 39
Before your meetings, list some discussion questions. Remember to come up with questions depending on your book’s genre: romance, mystery, thriller and so on. 40 For example, you may ask which scene has stuck with them the most or whether there are any standout sentences.
A.It is necessary to set some group guidelines.
B.Here’s a look of four of our favorites below.
C.To start, reach out to your friends who love to read.
D.There are also general questions you can start out with.
E.You can never go wrong with the bestseller list to get the ball rolling.
F.Choose something with that criteria and you can please all kinds of readers.
G.If you’ve ever had the urge to start a book club, it’s easier than you might think.

I spotted my neighbor, Monica, working in her garden one day when I returned home from school. It was sunny, and the smell of cut grass made me feel refreshed. I popped my head over the fence, and Monica and I got talking.
“I’ve seen you’re very good at using a lawn mower(割草机) and gardening tools,” Monica said. “There’s a hedge(树篱) growing over the pathway near here. It’s so overgrown that it becomes a head ache for the passers-by. I was planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out ”
I loved the idea of helping Monica and our community. We agreed to cut the hedge the following Sunday. My brother Ivan, aged 10, also came along to help us. We wheeled Monica’s garbage can down to the hedge, which the community council was responsible for. All three of us cut it with shears (大剪刀) until a trouble-free pathway came in sight. Mr. Brown, a wheelchair user, was grateful that he didn’t have to make a detour(绕行) any more to pass the hedge. Encouraged by his words, I suggested doing more for our community, to make it a better place.
When we first started, we just made the best of the equipment we already had in my parents’ garage. But as time went on, donations came in from the local community. Our garage got filled up quickly with brushes, gardening tools, and even donated power tools like leaf blowers. With everything ready, our first project was to beautiful park near our houses, which looked a bit run-down. Ivan was in charge of painting the fence around, Monica cleared the lawn with a leaf blower, and I was responsible for repairing the benches where our neighbors usually sat at their leisure. After two weeks’ hard work, we felt stunned when stepping back and appreciating the clean and brand new small park. My heart swelled with pride because our efforts paid off.
