Every day, we hear about people who are trying to lose weight. There are so many different diets to choose from, but which one is best What should we eat, and what shouldn’t we eat The answer is simple: we need to eat a healthy diet.
So what is a healthy diet It’s not complicated (复杂). We just need to eat the right amount (量) of food from each of the five main food groups.
The first group is fruit and vegetables. We need to eat at least five portions (份) of these every day. That might sound like a lot, but it’s not really-a glass of orange juice, a banana and two vegetables with dinner means you’ve had your five portions.
Next, we need to eat some starchy (富含淀粉的) foods, like bread, rice or potatoes (about six portions a day). These foods give us energy.
We also need to eat some protein (蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs or beans. We should have about two portions a day.
Then there’s milk and dairy products (乳制品). We need about three portions of these every day.
Finally, we need to eat only a small amount of foods that contain sugar and fat.
Some people think that a healthy diet is a boring diet. This isn’t true! You can still eat your favourite foods, but you need to eat them in moderation. For example, if you love chocolate, you don’t have to stop eating it completely. Just eat it once in a while, and make sure you don’t eat too much.
It’s important to remember that a healthy diet is not the same as a diet where you eat less food. In fact, eating very little food is not good for you. It’s much better to eat a variety of different foods, and to eat regular (有规律的) meals. If you do this, you’ll feel full and satisfied, and you won’t be tempted (诱惑) to snack on unhealthy foods.
So next time you’re thinking about going on a diet, stop and think. Do you really need to lose weight Or would it be better to just eat a healthy diet

A．It’s not very complicated. B．It’s a boring diet.

26．细节理解题。根据“We just need to eat the right amount (量) of food from each of the five main food groups.”以及全文内容可知，为了拥有健康的饮食，我们应该吃适量的各种食物，故选A。

At first sight, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s famous work Girl With a Pearl Earring. But look more closely and you may find something different about it. Wearing two shining earrings, there’s a little inhuman (异常的) shade of red on the girl’s face.
Look strange It’s actually an image made by German designer Julian van Dieken using artificial intelligence (AI). Chosen from 3,482 images created based on the Vermeer masterpiece, the AI-generated (生成) work was shown at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands.
“One of the most famous paintings in history is being replaced by one of my AI images,” van Dieken wrote on Instagram. He said that the experience was “crazy” and “unreal”.
However, the AI image caused wide discussion. Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick said that “it’s a nice picture and it’s a creative way of making it”, many people questioned whether it could be called art and be shown in the museum, reported AFP.
Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as “almost Frankenstein-ish”, AFP noted. She added that “it’s an insult to the works of Vermeer and also to any working ing from a museum, it’s a real slap (掌掴) in the face.”
In fact, this is not the first time people have discussed AI’s role in creativity. But the technology has now become widely used in daily life and the practice of using AI image generators to make art has become more common.
As Taylor Michael explained, one common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws (版权法). “Some artists have heavily criticized AI tools for using potentially (潜在地) copyrighted works to create datasets, without artists’ agreement,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, the increase of such AI works in the market is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm (热情) of artists who have spent years building up their creative skills, AFP noted.
30．What do we know about the image made by Julian van Dieken
A．It is a perfect copy of Vermeer’s famous work.
B．It was made by combining 3,482 images together.
C．It’s the first AI work on display in a museum.
D．It has received different reviews from audiences.
31．What does the underlined word “insult” most probably mean
A．protection B．disrespect
C．celebration D．improvement
32．According to the passage, what can be the influence brought by the development of AI-created works
A．It can make traditional art forms less attractive.
B．It can increase the value of traditional artworks.
C．It can discourage artists who put in real effort.
D．It can help artists to develop their creativity.
33．What does the article mainly talk about
A．The different opinions about AI artworks.
B．The potential problems with AI artworks.
C．The future of AI works on the art market.
D．The effects of AI works on the art market.
【答案】30．D 31．B 32．C 33．A
【导语】本文主要讨论了人工智能（AI）在艺术创作中的应用及其引发的广泛讨论。
30．细节理解题。根据“Look strange It’s actually an image made by German designer Julian van Dieken using artificial intelligence (AI)…However, the AI image caused wide discussion. Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick said that ‘it’s a nice picture and it’s a creative way of making it’, many people questioned whether it could be called art and be shown in the museum, reported AFP.”可知Julian van Dieken使用人工智能生成的图像在Mauritshuis博物馆展出，并引发了广泛的讨论。虽然Mauritshuis的新闻发言人表示这是一幅“不错的图片”，但许多人质疑它是否可以被视为艺术。因此，观众对这幅作品的评价存在分歧。故选D。
31．词句猜测题。根据“it’s an insult to the works of Vermeer and also to any working ing from a museum, it’s a real slap (掌掴) in the face.”可知荷兰艺术家Iris Compiet认为这幅AI生成的作品是对Vermeer作品的“侮辱”，并且对任何艺术家来说都是一种“掌掴”。因此，“insult”在这里表示“不尊重”或“侮辱”。故选B。
32．细节理解题。根据“Meanwhile, the increase of such AI works in the market is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm (热情) of artists who have spent years building up their creative skills, AFP noted.”可知文章提到，AI生成的作品在市场上的增加可能会削弱那些花费多年时间培养创造技能的艺术家们的热情。因此，AI作品的发展可能会打击那些真正努力的艺术家。故选C。
33．主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了AI生成的艺术作品引发的不同意见，包括对其是否可以被视为艺术的质疑，以及它可能对艺术家和艺术市场产生的影响。故选A。

A Rubbish Collector’s Work Is Never Done
Brian Kane was a rubbish collector in Denver, Colorado. Eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year, he rode on the back of a garbage truck. At each stop, he would run to the back of buildings, then pull heavy rubbish cans to the truck. Brian never complained.
Brian saw these hardships as opportunities to become strong and fit. His job was a training ground for his lifelong-dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma. On his thirtieth birthday, Brian took a leave from his job and flew to Nepal to begin the long, difficult journey up Mount Qomolangma.
Brian first climbed to a base camp. He planned to bring three oxygen containers (氧气罐) with him to the top. At 29,028 feet, it would be hard to survive without extra oxygen. Over the next two months, Brian climbed to 26,000 feet, to Camp Four-the last place to rest below the top of the mountain. But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees. “Rubbish!” he cried. Nearly a thousand empty oxygen containers littered the camp area. Humans had turned this beautiful, far-away place into a big rubbish pile (堆). Brian was very sad. But with a strong determination he continued to follow his dream. Two days later he stood proudly on the top of Mount Qomolangma. He had reached the “roof of the world!”
Two days after this great achievement, Brian put a dozen empty oxygen containers in his pack and walked down the mountain. He smiled to himself as he realized that the work of a rubbish collector is great and never done.
34．What was Brian’s lifelong dream
35．What did Brian plan to bring to the top of Mount Qomolangma.
36．How did Brian feel when he saw the rubbish pile at Camp Four
37．What do you think of Brian Kane Why (Please list at least 2 reasons)
【答案】34．To climb Mount Qomolangma. 35．Three oxygen containers. 36．He felt very sad. 37．I think Brian Kane is very determined and environmentally conscious. The reason is that he persisted in his dream of climbing Mount Qomolangma despite the difficulties, and he also had the awareness to clean up the garbage on the mountain and protect the environment.
【导语】本文主要讲述了丹佛的垃圾收集者布莱恩·凯恩，他将自己作为垃圾收集者的工作视为攀登珠穆朗玛峰的训练场，最终成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰，并在下山时清理垃圾，从而感悟到垃圾收集者的工作伟大且永无止境。
34．根据第二段“His job was a training ground for his lifelong-dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma.”可知，布莱恩一生的梦想是攀登珠穆朗玛峰。故填To climb Mount Qomolangma.
35．根据第三段“He planned to bring three oxygen containers (氧气罐) with him to the top.”可知，布莱恩计划带三个氧气罐到珠穆朗玛峰的顶端。故填Three oxygen containers.
36．根据第三段“But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees. ‘Rubbish!’ he cried.”可知，当布莱恩看到四号营地的垃圾堆时，他跪倒在地，大喊“垃圾！”，说明他感到非常伤心。故填He felt very sad.
37．开放性问题，答案合理即可。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填I think Brian Kane is very determined and environmentally conscious. The reason is that he persisted in his dream of climbing Mount Qomolangma despite the difficulties, and he also had the awareness to clean up the garbage on the mountain and protect the environment.

【答案】例文
I’m Li Hua. I’d like to share my story with you.
Last term, I had a big problem with my studies. I was falling behind in math. I was so worried that I even started to avoid math classes. The main reason was that I didn’t understand the complex formulas and always made mistakes in problem-solving.
To solve this problem, I first had a heart-to-heart communication with my math teacher. I told her about my confusion and fear. She gave me some practical advice, suggesting that I start from the basic knowledge and do more targeted exercises. Then, I made a study plan. I allocated extra time every day to review math concepts and do exercises. Also, I joined a study group. We discussed difficult problems together and helped each other.
Thanks to these efforts, I gradually caught up. I worked out many difficult problems that I couldn’t solve before. From this experience, I’ve learned that when facing problems, we should not be afraid or run away. Instead, we should communicate actively, seek advice, and take practical actions. Only in this way can we overcome difficulties and grow.

Every day, we hear about people who are trying to lose weight. There are so many different diets to choose from, but which one is best What should we eat, and what shouldn’t we eat The answer is simple: we need to eat a healthy diet.
So what is a healthy diet It’s not complicated (复杂). We just need to eat the right amount (量) of food from each of the five main food groups.
The first group is fruit and vegetables. We need to eat at least five portions (份) of these every day. That might sound like a lot, but it’s not really-a glass of orange juice, a banana and two vegetables with dinner means you’ve had your five portions.
Next, we need to eat some starchy (富含淀粉的) foods, like bread, rice or potatoes (about six portions a day). These foods give us energy.
We also need to eat some protein (蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs or beans. We should have about two portions a day.
Then there’s milk and dairy products (乳制品). We need about three portions of these every day.
Finally, we need to eat only a small amount of foods that contain sugar and fat.
Some people think that a healthy diet is a boring diet. This isn’t true! You can still eat your favourite foods, but you need to eat them in moderation. For example, if you love chocolate, you don’t have to stop eating it completely. Just eat it once in a while, and make sure you don’t eat too much.
It’s important to remember that a healthy diet is not the same as a diet where you eat less food. In fact, eating very little food is not good for you. It’s much better to eat a variety of different foods, and to eat regular (有规律的) meals. If you do this, you’ll feel full and satisfied, and you won’t be tempted (诱惑) to snack on unhealthy foods.
So next time you’re thinking about going on a diet, stop and think. Do you really need to lose weight Or would it be better to just eat a healthy diet

One Sunday afternoon, after running as usual, John decided to go home and have a rest. Just then, he noticed an old woman standing by the road. The old woman looked around worriedly.

John called the old woman’s son and then took her to the nearest restaurant.
In the restaurant, John ordered food and drink for the old woman politely. While eating, sometimes she carelessly sprinkled（撒）food and drink on the table and on her coat. Other customers felt disgusted（厌恶的）at this sight. But John didn’t care about this. He stood up and cleaned the table from time to time in silence.
It took the old woman some time to finish eating. After that, John paid the bill and they were ready to leave when the old woman’s son arrived.

At first sight, it seems to be Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s famous work Girl With a Pearl Earring. But look more closely and you may find something different about it. Wearing two shining earrings, there’s a little inhuman (异常的) shade of red on the girl’s face.
Look strange It’s actually an image made by German designer Julian van Dieken using artificial intelligence (AI). Chosen from 3,482 images created based on the Vermeer masterpiece, the AI-generated (生成) work was shown at the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands.
“One of the most famous paintings in history is being replaced by one of my AI images,” van Dieken wrote on Instagram. He said that the experience was “crazy” and “unreal”.
However, the AI image caused wide discussion. Though Mauritshuis press officer Boris de Munnick said that “it’s a nice picture and it’s a creative way of making it”, many people questioned whether it could be called art and be shown in the museum, reported AFP.
Dutch artist Iris Compiet described the image on display as “almost Frankenstein-ish”, AFP noted. She added that “it’s an insult to the works of Vermeer and also to any working ing from a museum, it’s a real slap (掌掴) in the face.”
In fact, this is not the first time people have discussed AI’s role in creativity. But the technology has now become widely used in daily life and the practice of using AI image generators to make art has become more common.
As Taylor Michael explained, one common concern is whether AI-generated works break copyright laws (版权法). “Some artists have heavily criticized AI tools for using potentially (潜在地) copyrighted works to create datasets, without artists’ agreement,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, the increase of such AI works in the market is believed by many to weaken the enthusiasm (热情) of artists who have spent years building up their creative skills, AFP noted.
30．What do we know about the image made by Julian van Dieken
A．It is a perfect copy of Vermeer’s famous work.
B．It was made by combining 3,482 images together.
C．It’s the first AI work on display in a museum.
D．It has received different reviews from audiences.
31．What does the underlined word “insult” most probably mean
A．protection B．disrespect
C．celebration D．improvement
32．According to the passage, what can be the influence brought by the development of AI-created works
A．It can make traditional art forms less attractive.
B．It can increase the value of traditional artworks.
C．It can discourage artists who put in real effort.
D．It can help artists to develop their creativity.
33．What does the article mainly talk about
A．The different opinions about AI artworks.
B．The potential problems with AI artworks.
C．The future of AI works on the art market.
D．The effects of AI works on the art market.

A Rubbish Collector’s Work Is Never Done
Brian Kane was a rubbish collector in Denver, Colorado. Eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year, he rode on the back of a garbage truck. At each stop, he would run to the back of buildings, then pull heavy rubbish cans to the truck. Brian never complained.
Brian saw these hardships as opportunities to become strong and fit. His job was a training ground for his lifelong-dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma. On his thirtieth birthday, Brian took a leave from his job and flew to Nepal to begin the long, difficult journey up Mount Qomolangma.
Brian first climbed to a base camp. He planned to bring three oxygen containers (氧气罐) with him to the top. At 29,028 feet, it would be hard to survive without extra oxygen. Over the next two months, Brian climbed to 26,000 feet, to Camp Four-the last place to rest below the top of the mountain. But when Brian saw this camp, he fell to his knees. “Rubbish!” he cried. Nearly a thousand empty oxygen containers littered the camp area. Humans had turned this beautiful, far-away place into a big rubbish pile (堆). Brian was very sad. But with a strong determination he continued to follow his dream. Two days later he stood proudly on the top of Mount Qomolangma. He had reached the “roof of the world!”
Two days after this great achievement, Brian put a dozen empty oxygen containers in his pack and walked down the mountain. He smiled to himself as he realized that the work of a rubbish collector is great and never done.
34．What was Brian’s lifelong dream
35．What did Brian plan to bring to the top of Mount Qomolangma.
