第六部分 书面表达（满分 17 分）
Dear Chris,
Knowing that you have been conducting a survey on Chinese traditional food for festivals, I’m writing
to recommend to you my favorite, the mooncakes.
Mooncakes are round pastries with various fillings such as lotus seed paste, nuts or salted egg yolks.
They are closely related to the Mid - Autumn Festival, which is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar
month. Their round shape represents the full moon, symbolizing family reunion. Sharing mooncakes under
the moonlight, families express love and enjoy the festival's warm atmosphere.
I am more than glad if my introduction can help you better know about our custom. For further
information, feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Li Hua
正文（第二段）其他参考：
1、粽子与端午节
Zongzi are pyramid-shaped parcels made of glutinous rice, wrapped in bamboo leaves, and filled
with ingredients like pork, red beans. Zongzi is a classic food linked to the Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated
on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. This festival honors the ancient poet Qu Yuan and features dragon
boat races and hanging mugwort leaves for protection. Their triangular form symbolizes the shape of ancient
rice offerings thrown into the river to prevent Qu Yuan’s body from being eaten by fish. Families often
prepare zongzi together, reflecting the importance of unity and preserving cultural heritage.
2、菊花酒和重阳节
Chrysanthemum wine, a special drink for the Double Ninth Festival, is made by soaking
chrysanthemum flowers in wine. This festival, falling on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, is a time to
honor the elderly and enjoy autumn scenery. Chrysanthemums bloom in autumn, symbolizing longevity and
good health. Drinking this wine on the festival is believed to bring blessings and drive away evil spirits. It is
also a way to show respect for the elderly and wish them a long life.
3、汤圆和元宵节
Tangyuan, are glutinous rice balls, either filled with sweet fillings like sesame or red bean paste. It is
the traditional food of the Lantern Festival, falling on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
Their round shape not only mirrors the full moon but also symbolizes family unity and happiness. Eating
tangyuan together, families welcome the first full moon of the lunar year, hoping for a year full of harmony.

答案详解
A 篇【答案】24—26 ADB
24.细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“This visually engaging app tracks your smoke-free progress and health
improvements”可知, Smoke Free 应用的一个特点是它能够跟踪用户的 戒烟进度和健康改善。 因此, 它能展示用户的
戒烟进展。故选 A。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“Quit Smoking helps users track their smoke-free time and savings while
offering personalized advice for managing cravings.”和 最 后 一 句 话 “The app also provides specific strategies for
managing cravings in different situations, such as parties, suggesting tips like trying new drinks or moving away from
smokers. ” 可 知 QuitSmoking 应用通过提供个性化的建议和切实可行的策略来帮助用户管理强烈的欲望。故选 D。
26.推理判断题。根据第三段的前面两句话“Why not make quitting enjoyable QuitNow! turns quitting smoking
into a game that you can win, giving you awards for reaching important milestones like money saved and smoke-free days.”
可知如果你想让戒烟的过程变得有趣，可以选择 QuitNow! 应用，因为它把戒烟的过程游戏化，并通过达成重要里
程碑为用户提供奖励。故选 B。
B 篇【答案】27-30 BCDD
27. 答案：B
- 解析：根据第一段最后一句“I hoped my trip wouldn’t suffer a lot, though it was obviously a leap in the dark.”可知，
作者虽希望旅途不要太艰难，但也清楚这是一次冒险，意味着他预料到旅程会很坎坷，B 选项正确。A 选项，作者
没有信用卡，不知道住哪、旅程多久，也没写过旅行书，说明没有充分准备；C 选项，作者是因缺钱养家才去旅
行，不是在家人支持下组织旅行；D选项，文中是为了赚钱才去旅行，并非出于对旅行的热爱。
28. 答案：C
3
- 解析：从第三段“Writing on board the Khyber Mail to Lahore in Pakistan, ‘The romance associated with the sleeping
car comes from the fact that it is extremely private, combining the best features of a cupboard with forward movement.’”可
知，作者反复提及卧铺车厢是因为它有令人安心的私密性，C 选项正确。A 选项长途距离不是原因；B 选项文中未
提及设备齐全；D选项浪漫的风景是私密性带来的效果，而非回忆卧铺车厢的原因。
29. 答案：D
- 解析：根据第五段和第六段内容，作者提到亚洲的蒸汽火车没了，很多地方的和平与秩序也没了，中国的火车
和目的地也发生了很大变化。说明作者说“Nothing is the same”是指交通和旅行方面改变很大，D 选项正确。A 选项
亚洲的风景消失表述不准确；B选项火车旅行不再受欢迎未提及；C 选项作者能否再写出畅销书与这句话无关。
30. 答案：D
- 解析：文章重点强调旅行过程中的经历和感受，如作者在旅途中的各种遭遇以及对卧铺车厢的体验等，而不是
到达目的地。A 选项“Practice makes perfect”(熟能生巧)与文章主题无关；B 选项“Sharp tools make good work”(工欲
善其事，必先利其器)也不符合文意；C 选项“Travel broadens the mind”(旅游开阔眼界) 也不符合文意；D 选项“The
journey, not the arrival matters”(重要的是旅程，而非到达)符合文章主旨，作者更注重旅行过程。
C 篇【答案】31 -- 34 BDDB
31. 答案：B
- 解析：根据第一段“Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany, reveal that
the more mature boys in the group boosted their voices when girls were appreciating their performances.”可知，当有女孩
欣赏他们的表演时，较为成熟的男孩会提高他们的嗓音，唱得更好，所以是观众(女孩)促使这些成熟男孩唱得更好，
B 选项正确。A 选项导演在文中未提及对男孩演唱有此影响；C 选项青蛙和 D 选项蟋蟀只是用来类比男孩这种行为，
并非是驱使男孩唱得更好的原因。
32. 答案：D
- 解析：根据第二段“Keller and his colleagues learned up with a well-known choir in Germany after a student and
former member of the choir mentioned that the boys boosted their voices in a barely noticeable manner when female
audience members were present.”以及第三段“but it was unclear whether people, as opposed to sensitive sound devices,
could detect the shift in voices”可知，男孩们在女孩面前提升嗓音的方式几乎不被注意到，所以“subtle”意思是“不明
显的，难以察觉的”，与“unnoticeable”同义，D 选项正确。A 选项“Brilliant”(精彩的)；B 选项“Competitive”(有竞争
力的)；C选项“Unforgettable”(难忘的)均不符合语境。
33. 答案：D
- 解析：根据第四段“To find out, the researchers ran two online studies in which 2, 247 male and female volunteers
listened to recordings of the boys singing with and without girls in the audience.”可知，Keller 的团队是通过开展在线研
究，让志愿者听男孩在不同观众情况下演唱的录音来进行研究的，D 选项正确。A 选项观察歌手、B 选项研究文件、
C 选项进行实地研究在文中均未提及。
34. 答案：B
- 解析：文章主要讲述了研究发现男孩合唱团在有女孩观众时，年龄较大的男孩会提升嗓音，且这种现象背后的
原因以及研究过程，所以“Force behind boy’s choir”(男孩合唱团背后的力量)能够概括文章主旨，B 选项正确。A 选
项“Cooperation or competition”(合作还是竞争)没有突出男孩合唱团这一主体；C 选项“Research into the choir”(对合
唱的研究)表述太宽泛，没有明确是关于男孩合唱团受观众影响的研究；D 选项“The audience effect”(观众效应)过于
笼统。
D 篇 【答案】35—38 CCDA
35. 答案：C。解析：第一段提到每次 AI 生成邮件或图片，地球都要为之付出代价，生成两张图片消耗的能量
堪比给智能手机充电，到 2027 年全球 AI 行业每年消耗的电量可能相当于荷兰的用电量，且到 2030 年仅生成式 AI
4
应用就可能给地球增加 120 万到 500 万吨有害垃圾。这些都表明 AI 对环境的影响范围广泛且令人担忧，所以 AI
的环境足迹大得惊人，C 选项正确。A 选项文中只是将 AI 行业耗电量与荷兰作比较，并非说荷兰耗电量过多；B
选项文中未提及 AI 优缺点的比较；D 选项生成图片只是 AI 耗能的一个例子，并非主要原因。
36. 答案：C。解析：根据第四段 Shaolei Ren 说 “We might want AI companies to slow down a bit”，意思是或许
我们希望 AI 公司发展速度慢一点，说明他对 AI 公司的发展持谨慎态度，C 选项正确。A 选项 “Critical”(批判的)；
B 选项 “Positive”(积极的)；D 选项 “Ambiguous”(模棱两可的)均不符合文意。
37. 答案：D。解析：最后一段提到 “It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular
maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce
e-waste”，通过对服务器进行定期维护、更新或把旧设备用于低强度应用等延长设备寿命的措施对减少电子垃圾至
关重要，D 选项正确。A 选项文中未提及调整 AI 应用频率；B 选项智能手机回收并非关键；C 选项完全禁止 AI 过
度使用过于绝对，且文中未提及。
38. 答案：A。解析：文章主要讲述了 AI 的发展会带来电子垃圾增加的问题，如生成式 AI 应用到 2030 年可能
增加大量有害垃圾，AI 热潮消耗数据存储设备和高性能组件等导致电子垃圾增多，所以 AI 可能会加剧电子垃圾危
机，A 选项正确。B 选项强调的是电子垃圾，呼吁正确使用 AI 与文章重点不符；C 选项说电子垃圾问题主要归咎
于 AI，过于绝对，AI 只是其中一个因素；D 选项说 AI 和电子垃圾总是紧密相连，没有突出 AI 对电子垃圾危机的
加剧影响。
七选五 39—43 EADGF
39. 答案：E。解析：前文提到“the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic
education(培养发现美的能力是审美教育的首要任务)”，后文说“Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their
ability to notice objects and forms is undeveloped(如果孩子们注意物体和形状的能力没有得到发展，他们就无法注意
到特定的形状)”，E选项“In some way, this is the ability to perceive aesthetic qualities(在某种程度上，这就是感知审美
品质的能力)”中的“this”指代前文的“the ability to notice the beautiful”，且“perceive aesthetic qualities”与后文的“notice
particular shapes”以及“notice objects and forms”相呼应，起到了承上启下的作用，所以选 E。
40. 答案：A。解析：后文提到“This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and joy, enriching
individuals’ emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. The ability to experience aesthetically must also be
developed.(这意味着它们会产生兴奋和喜悦等情感反应，丰富个人的情感生活并激发艺术表达。审美体验的能力也
必须得到培养。)”，A 选项“Aesthetic qualities have to be felt(审美品质必须被感受)”中的“felt”与后文的“emotional
responses”以及“experience aesthetically”相呼应，说明审美品质需要通过感受来体会，从而引出后文关于审美体验的
内容，所以选 A。
41. 答案：D。解析：前文说“The cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes that we experience during noticing
must also include emotional tones with which we form impressions.(我们在注意过程中所经历的认知元素也必须包括我
们形成印象时所带有的情感基调。)”，D 选项“And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon(而审美体验正
是建立在这些之上的)”中的“these”指代前文的“cognitive elements”和“emotional tones”，表明审美体验是基于这些认
知和情感因素建立的，起到了总结前文的作用，所以选 D。
42. 答案：G。 解析：前文提到“It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their
creative abilities.(让孩子们参与能够培养他们创造力的活动是至关重要的。)”，后文说“Instead, it is about creativity in
the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be
developed.(相反，它是关于在日常生活中创造审美价值的创造力。我们并不是天生就具有必须培养的创造力。)”，
G选项“This is not so much about creating aesthetic abilities in the sense of training artists(这与其说是在培养艺术家的意
义上创造审美能力)”与后文的“Instead”相呼应，且“not so much about”和“Instead”形成对比，表明培养孩子创造力不
5
是培养艺术家意义上的审美能力，而是日常生活中创造审美价值的创造力，所以选 G。
43. 答案：F。解析：前文说“Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order
for beauty to reveal its true value, we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process of aesthetic education,
various types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be applied.(判断或评价审美品质需要形成的评价标准。
为了让美展现其真正的价值，我们必须熟悉它的特殊性。在审美教育的整个过程中，必须应用各种类型的知识、
能力和评价标准。)”，F 选项“This way, the child will develop the foundations for assessing the beautiful(这样，孩子将
为评估美奠定基础)”中的“This way”指代前文提到的应用各种知识、能力和评价标准的审美教育过程，“assessing
the beautiful”与前文的“Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities”相呼应，说明通过这个过程孩子能为评估美打下基础，
所以选 F。

W: Look at this crowd! The last time we saw this music group, more than one hundred people attended.
M: Well, they have the best piano players in the country. Plus, last time they played in this concert hall for five hours!
Imagine how tired they must’ve been after such a long show.
W: They’re only playing a two-hour show this time. (2) Well, I can’t imagine playing music in front of a crowd — I
would be so nervous.
M: Here they come! I can’t wait for them to start! (3)
W: Me too! (10)
Text 2
W: Excuse me, I’m new to the school. Do you know where the library is (4)

M: Sure, I just left the library. It’s past the lunch hall on the right. Did you just come to this school
W: I’m doing an exchange program. I’m from England, but I’ll be studying at this school for the year.
M: Amazing — welcome to Canada! Do you have family here
W: Thanks. Yeah, I’m staying with my aunt and uncle in town.
M: That’s exciting! How is it so far
W: Great. Everyone’s been so helpful. My teachers even set up my entire schedule. The only challenge is that the weather
is much colder here than back home! (5)
M: I’m sure! Well, I’d better run. My next class is in a room on the other side of the school. (6) I hope to see you again
soon!
W: See you!
Text 3
W: Ben, (8) I want you to have a perfect party. (7) What should we do
M: I don’t know. School has already finished, and many friends have left the city for the summer holiday.
W: You have friends around. Besides, your birthday is a great reason to get everyone else together! (7)
M: You’re right. You and Dad are great at cooking — maybe you can make food for a group of my friends from
school. (10)
W: I’d love to, dear! (10) Last year, we celebrated your 12th birthday here at our apartment. Should we go somewhere else
this year
M: I would prefer a place where a big group of friends could come. (8) Plus, it was crowded in our home last year. (10)
If only we could have a party at a house in the countryside. (9)
W: Oh, I know! We’ll have it at the park. (9) That way, people can come over all afternoon. We’ll play games, do sports,
and even sing.
M: That sounds good! (9) But I’ll leave the singing to the adults. I don’t think my friends and I will want to do that.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Old River Train will be boarding in five minutes. You can board the train after our staff
check your tickets. You don’t have to buy tickets for children under the age of ten, but passengers who are ten and older
must have their own tickets. You can choose where you’d like to sit on the train. However, the front two seats of every car
are only for elderly people. Now, there are a few rules I’d like to share with you. First, never put your hands or head out of
the window while the train is moving. Sometimes the train passes near trees, and you could get hurt. Second, playing loud
music on the train is not allowed. Please use headphones(耳机) if you’d like to listen to music! Lastly, wait until the train
has stopped completely if you want to go into another car. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Just about 50 years ago, needing money to support my family—my novels weren’t
best-sellers—I had the idea of taking the longest train trip imaginable and writing a travel book
about it. The trip was improvisational. I didn’t have a credit card. I had no idea where I’d be
staying nor how long this trip would take. And I’d never written a travel book before. I hoped
my trip wouldn’t suffer a lot, though it was obviously a leap in the dark.
I set off with one small bag containing clothes, a map of Asia, a travel guidebook and some
travelers’ cheques, I was often inconvenienced, sometimes threatened, now and then disturbed for
bribes(贿赂), occasionally laid up with food poisoning — all this vivid detail for my narrative.
What I repeated in the more than four-month trip was the pleasure of the sleeping car. Writing
on board the Khyber Mail to Lahore in Pakistan, “The romance associated with the sleeping car
comes from the fact that it is extremely private, combining the best features of a cupboard with
forward movement. Whatever drama is being shown in this moving bedroom is heightened by the
landscape passing the window…” A train is a carrier that allows residence.

I wrote The Great Railway Bazaar on my return in 1974, and it appeared to good reviews and
quick sales.
That’s the past. Nothing is the same. All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and
unrepeatable. It’s not just that the steam trains of Asia are gone, but much of the peace and order is
gone. Who’d risk an Iranian train now or take a bus through Afghanistan
But I’ve been surprised by some of the more recent developments in travel. I rode on Chinese
trains for a year and wrote Riding the Iron Rooster, but now China has much cleaner and swifter
trains and modernized destinations. A traveler today could take the same trip I took in1986-87 and
produce a completely different book.
All travel books are dated. That’s their fault that they’re outdated, and it’s their virtue that
they preserve something of the past that would otherwise be lost.
27.What happened at the beginning of the author’s trip to Asia
A. He made full preparations for the trip.
B. He had expected the journey to be rough.
C. He organized the trip with his family’s support.
D. He started the trip out of his passion for traveling.
28.Why did the author repeatedly recall the sleeping car
A. For its long distance. B. For its full equipment.
C. For its reassuring privacy. D. For its romantic scenery.
29.What did the author try to convey by saying “Nothing is the same”
A. The landscape in Asia was gone. B. Train trip was no longer popular.
C. He couldn’t write another bestseller. D. Transportation and travel had changed a lot.
30.Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Sharp tools make good work.
C. Travel broadens the mind. D. The journey, not the arrival matters.

Behind the enthusiastic song of an all male choir lies a force that is better known for shaping
the lives of hopeful frogs and crickets, research suggests. Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once
directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany, reveal that the more mature boys in the group
boosted their voices when girls were appreciating their performances. The effect, seen only among
the older singers, aged 16 to 19, is thought to be similar behaviour more often observed in frogs
and crickets, which enhance their individual calls to stand out from the crowd during
mate-attracting choruses.
“The boys’ singing sounds more brilliant and has a more attractive quality when girls are in
the audience, but it is subtle,” said Keller, a professor who led the work at the centre for music in
the brain at a university in Denmark. Keller and his colleagues learned up with a well-known choir
in Germany after a student and former member of the choir mentioned that the boys boosted their
高一英语 第5页 共12页
voices in a barely noticeable manner when female audience members were present.
Sound analysis of the boys singing a song composed by Bach found that, in the presence of
girls aged 15 to 16, the boy’s improved their vocal brilliance and carried power by putting more
energy. But it was unclear whether people, as opposed to sensitive sound devices, could detect the
shift in voices, and if they could, whether the resulting sound was more or less appealing because
of the enhanced singer’s performance.
To find out, the researchers ran two online studies in which 2, 247 male and female
volunteers listened to recordings of the boys singing with and without girls in the audience. While
both male and female participants showed a difference between the two performances, only
female volunteers preferred the boosted singing. “It’s really hard to tell,” Keller said. Details are
published in a journal.
For the recordings, the boys performed once before an all-male audience and a second time
when a group of teenage girls joined the front row on the pretence of being on a school trip. In
interviews after the concert, the boys felt they sang better in front of the girls but none admitted
trying to attract their attention.
According to the scientists, the findings suggest choir singing is a special form of social
communication where cooperation and competitiveness, the latter potentially motivated by the
opposite sex, can exist alongside one another. “You have a group of people working together, said
Keller, “but at the same time individually having this parallel channel of communication, sending
out the competitive signal saying: pick me!”
31. What drives the mature boys to sing better
A. Their directors. B. Their audience. C. The frogs. D. The crickets.
32. What does the underlined word “subtle” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Brilliant. B. Competitive. C. Unforgettable. D. Unnoticeable.
33. How did Keller’s team carry out the research
A. By observing the singers. B. By studying online documents.
C. By doing field research. D. By conducting studies online.
34. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Cooperation or competition B. Force behind boy’s choir
C. Research into the choir D. The audience effect

Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can
consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually
consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern:
generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to five million tons of this harmful trash to
the planet by 2030.
Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe
abandons annually. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞),
高一英语 第6页 共12页
lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, water and soil. In 2022,
about 78% of the world’s e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers
risk their health to clean up rare metals.
The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components, which
are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-waste contribution,
researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry’s growth rate. Their prediction is an
estimate that could change based on various factors.
This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts, says
Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies
to slow down a bit,” he says.
Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to
carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but
there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling.
Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google
have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have
many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through
regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications.
These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate.
35. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1
A. The Netherlands consumes too much electricity.
B. The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages.
C. The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive.
D. AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making.
36. What is Shaolei Ren’s attitude toward the growth of AI companies
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.
37. What is the key to reducing e-waste
A. Adjusting AI application frequency.
B. Prioritizing smartphone recycling.
C. Banning the overuse of AI completely.
D. Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures.
38. What is the best title for the text
A. AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis B. E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI
C. E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI D. AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand

Aesthetic (审美) education aims to enhance aesthetic perception, experience aesthetic
qualities, stimulate aesthetic creativity, and promote aesthetic judgement.
In order for kids to be able to appreciate natural wonders, shapes and pictures, they must be
able to first notice them. This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the
primary task of aesthetic education. 39 Kids are incapable of noticing particular
shapes if their ability to notice objects and forms is undeveloped. The aesthetic relationship begins
with the noticing of aesthetic qualities.
40 This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and
joy, enriching individuals’ emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. The ability to
experience aesthetically must also be developed. The cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes
that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form
impressions. 41 The aim of this task is, with the aid of aesthetic qualities, to enrich
the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for aesthetic
values.
It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative
abilities. 42 Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in
everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed.
Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order for
beauty to reveal its true value, we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process
of aesthetic education, various types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be
applied. 43
A. Aesthetic qualities have to be felt.
B. Beauty can be found all around us.
C. The beautiful will be likely to be created.
D. And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon.
E. In some way, this is the ability to perceive aesthetic qualities.
F. This way, the child will develop the foundations for assessing the beautiful.
G. This is not so much about creating aesthetic abilities in the sense of training artists.
