A
Humans eat an astonishing amount of meat every year — some 800 billion pounds of it, enough flesh to fill roughly 28 million dump trucks. Our desire for meat, particularly in industrialized countries like the United States, is one reason why the planet is warming as fast as it is. Raising animals consumes a lot of land that could otherwise absorb carbon. Cows, sheep and goats give out heat-trapping methane (甲烷). And to grow the corn, soy and other plants that those animals eat, farmers use fertilizer (肥料) that gives off nitrous oxide, another planet-warming gas.
Cutting out meat sounds like an effective approach. But what would happen if everyone actually stopped eating meat tomorrow Such a quick shift probably wouldn’t cause the sort of turmoil that would come if the planet immediately abandoned fossil fuels. But still, the consequence could be quite a mess, causing different problems.
Researchers say the economic damage caused by the sudden disappearance of meat would fall mainly on low-income countries with farming economies, like Niger or Kenya, where farming and raising livestock (家禽) are important sources of income. Getting rid of livestock overnight would not only deprive many people of essential nutrients, but also threaten food security, especially in regions like South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Besides, there’s the issue of cultural damage. Taking away meat, according to Wilson Warren, a history professor at Western Michigan University, would do more than just deprive Americans of hot dogs and hamburgers and Italians of salami.
Rejecting meat entirely, let alone immediately, isn’t an ideal solution to the climate crisis. Dutkiewicz, a political economist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the EAT-Lancet Commission, an international group of scientists who have designed a diet intended to give people the nutrients they need without destroying the planet.

B
“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 to me 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 influence 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 (贬低) 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 excellent 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 daughter, but you are no match for professionals.
5. What does the writer think of his image creation
A. Exciting. B. Appealing
C. Unsatisfying. D. Shocking.
6. What do children’s illustrators value most about art
A. The creating process. B. The final work.
C. Personal feelings. D. External forms.
7. 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.
8. 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. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

一、阅读理解
【A篇】
【语篇导读】:本文的语篇类型是说明文,主题语境为人与社会。肉类消费可能会加剧全球变暖,但是完全将肉类从人们的饮食中去除是不可取的,会引来混乱和麻烦,作者推荐EAT-Lancet委员会设计的一种饮食方案,可以为人们提供所需的营养,同时又不破坏地球。
1. D 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Our desire for meat, particularly in industrialized countries like the United States, is one reason why the planet is warming as fast as it is.(我们对肉类的渴望,尤其是在像美国这样的工业化国家,是地球变暖速度如此之快的原因之一)”可知,从第一段中可以推断出肉类消费可能会加剧全球变暖。
2. B 词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“But still, the consequence could be quite a mess, causing different problems.(但是,后果可能是相当混乱的,造成不同的问题)”和倒数第二句中的“if the planet immediately abandoned fossil fuels(如果地球立即放弃化石燃料)”可知,此处是指要每个人都不吃肉可能不会引起地球立即放弃化石燃料那样的混乱,所以turmoil意为“混乱”。
3. D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Getting rid of livestock overnight would not only deprive many people of essential nutrients, but also threaten food security, especially in regions like South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.(一夜之间去除牲畜不仅会剥夺许多人的基本营养,而且还会威胁到粮食安全,特别是在南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲地区)”可知,立即放弃肉类可能会导致食品安全问题。
4. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rejecting meat entirely, let alone immediately, isn’t an ideal solution to the climate crisis. Dutkiewicz, a political economist at the Pratt Institute, suggested using guidelines established by the EAT-Lancet Commission, an international group of scientists who have designed a diet intended to give people the nutrients they need without destroying the planet.(完全拒绝肉类,更不用说立即拒绝肉类,并不是解决气候危机的理想方案。普拉特研究所的政治经济学家Dutkiewicz建议使用EAT-Lancet委员会制定的指导方针。EAT-Lancet委员会是一个由国际科学家组成的组织,他们设计了一种饮食,旨在为人们提供所需的营养,同时又不破坏地球)”可知,作者接下来可能要介绍EAT-Lancet委员会设计的这种饮食方案。
【B篇】
【语篇导读】:本文的语篇类型是议论文,主题语境为人与社会。作者认为人工智能图像生成虽然便捷,但也有不少弊端,在文中从几个方面进行了阐述。
5. C 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“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.(在我的图像中,这个女人的脸有着非常奇怪的特征,还似乎拿着多本书。而且,虽然看到图像出现时会有一种最初的兴奋感,但却没有创造性的满足感。)”可知,作者认为他的形象创作并不令人满意。
6. A 细节理解题。根据第三段第四句和第五句“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.(从根本上说,艺术就是把你内心的感受转化成外在的东西。无论采用何种形式,真正的艺术都是关于创造过程而不是最终作品。)”可知,儿童插画家对艺术最看重的是创作的过程。
7. C 主旨大意题。根据第四段第二句到第四句“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.(为了根据提示创建图像,人工智能生成器依赖于已经存在的艺术和文本数据库。这可能会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的风格。有一种观点认为,人工智能生成器在受他人工作影响方面与人类没有什么不同。)”和最后两句“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.(然而,人类艺术家也在混合中添加情感和细微差别。人工智能不会做同样的事情——它只能复制。)”可知,第四段主要是讲在人类和AI艺术创作中使用的不同手段。
8. B 主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一句“The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing (贬低) of the work of artists.(越来越多地使用人工智能也将导致艺术家的作品贬值。)”可知,“冰冻三尺非一日之寒”最能总结最后一段。

四、语法填空
【语篇导读】:本文的语篇类型是说明文,主题语境为人与社会。主要介绍了由张艺谋导演的电影《第二十条》。这部电影由刑法第二十条而得名该条款涉及到有时引起争议的法律概念合理防卫。这部电影在春节期间引起了广泛的关注,并引起了公众以及司法机构的共鸣。
29. has gained 考查现在完成时与主谓一致。句意:由张艺谋执导的电影《第20条》自春节档上映以来获得了广泛关注。分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入谓语动词,句子的时间状语为“since its release during the Spring Festival”,所以需要用现在完成时;主语“The film”为单数,所以谓语动词需要使用第三人称单数,所以助动词用has。
30. inspiration 考查名词。句意:影片从真实案例中汲取灵感,重点关注正当防卫的概念。根据空格前的“Drawing”可知,空格处需要填入名词作宾语;inspire的宾语为inspiration表示“灵感”为不可数名词。
31. faced 考查非谓语动词。句意:根据法律规定,受到非法攻击的人采取保护自己或者他人权益的行动,致使攻击人受到损害的,视为正当防卫,不承担刑事责任。此处表示“面对”,分析句子结构可知,此处是非谓语动词,face与逻辑主语之间为被动关系,所以需要用face的过去分词。
32. criminal 考查形容词。句意:根据法律规定,受到非法攻击的人采取保护自己或者他人权益的行动,致使攻击人受到损害的,视为正当防卫,不承担刑事责任。空格处位于名词之前,修饰名词,因此需要填入形容词;crime的形容词为criminal意为“犯罪的,刑事的”。
33. being suspected 考查非谓语动词。句意:在涉嫌故意杀人罪后,河北省保定市的一对夫妇因杀死骚扰他们女儿的人而被捕。分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入非谓语动词,动词与逻辑主语之间为被动关系,且位于介词之后所以用动名词的被动语态。故填being suspected。
34. an 考查冠词。句意:该案件在有人将其发布到网上后引起了广泛关注,并在网上引发了激烈的讨论。空格处位于单数名词之前,所以需要填入冠词,空格后的第一个形容词online的发音为元音音素开头,所以用an。
35. to defend 考查动词不定式。句意:“我不能接受他们被拘留是因为他们没有做错任何事来保护自己。”当时的一位微博用户说道。分析句子结构可知,空格处需要填入非谓语动词;此处表示目的,表示“为了保护自己”,应用不定式作目的状语。
36. how 考查宾语从句。句意:辩论的焦点是如何定义正当防卫。分析句子结构可知,空格处及后面的句子位于介词之后,因此为宾语从句,空格处需要填入从句的连接词。从句句子成分完整,此处表示“如何定义正当防卫”,所以用how表示“如何”。
37. To 考查介词。句意:在某种程度上,是舆论加快了案件的审理。本句中表示“在某种程度上”;to some extent意为“在某种程度上”,句首单词首字母大写。
38. but 考查连词。句意:网络不是法庭,但我们心中总有一个正义的天平。空格处连接两个句子,所以需要填入连词;前后句为转折关系。
