Lynn Colwell is a mixed media artist in Redmond，Washington.In grade school, a teacher told her that she had no artistic talent and Lynn believed her.However, in 2015 when she retired, she hoped to have a new interest and began to take a year long online painting class.
“It blew me away，” she says.She started painting striking portraits of women's faces，combined with short messages of hope almost every day.In five years, she's completed about 1,000 paintings.
Lynn gives her paintings away.She started with friends，but that only went so far.Then she read about a movement called Art Abandonment, which encourages artists to leave their art in public places for anyone to pick up.That gave her the idea of putting her work into the hands of strangers through Internet.
Nearly every day, Lynn posts a painting online.The first person who responds saying they're interested in it has 24 hours to make a donation of D|S25 or more to their favorite non profit organization or an individual in need.Then the painting is theirs.Lynn doesn't ask for proof.She trusts that the people who want her paintings share her ideas.
Five years later，she's still amazed at the results.Her paintings have raised more than D|S 57,000 for non profit organizations such as animal rescue centers, homeless shelters as well as for people who have lost their jobs.Sometimes Lynn hears that a painting helped someone at the moment who needed it most.“That gives me chills，” she says.
To be a part of Lynn Colwell's art for a cause effort, send her a friend request on her page.Then keep an eye out for a painting that speaks to you.Lynn personally approves each request，so she asks for your patience.Also, she spends most of her time in her art studio — there's painting to be done.“I wake up every day and can't wait to get started，” she says.

Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI created music is similar to those that any musician might compose.
Recently, an AI powered system has released a song Daddy's Car. This system is able to analyse the composers' original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.
Another great invention is an AI based music generating platform, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.
Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, an American pop group has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.
The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human composed music.
Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.
8．What is the new development about AI in the text
A．Its progress in replacing humans.
B．Its ability in music composing.
C．Its influence on human emotions.
D．Its focus on changing human mind.
9．Why could the pop group create the popular new album
A．Because they stuck to their former music style.
B．Because they went beyond themselves with AI.
C．Because they put in more than ten original songs.
D．Because they insisted on composing by themselves.
10．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Problems about AI composing.
B．Limitations of AI technology.
C．Challenges for human composers.
D．Suggestions to human musicians.
11．Which word best describes the author's attitude toward AI technology
A．Objective. B．Doubtful.
C．Uncaring. D．Confused.
D
Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant (持续的) to artists.No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change — to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging part of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th century Dutch painters to the 19th century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice.Leslie found out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who keeps on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees.
In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography (摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age old question: What is real Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
12．The underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 1 most probably means “________”．
A．an object for artistic creation
B．a collection of poems
C．an unusual quality
D．a natural scene
13．Which of the following shows the style of Leslie's paintings
A．They are close in style to works by Thomas Cole.
B．They look like works by the 19th century painters.
C．They mainly show common things in life.
D．They depend heavily on color photography.
14．What is the author's opinion of artistic reality
A．It will not be found in future works of art.
B．It does not have a long lasting standard.
C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D．It is lacking in modern works of art.
15．What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph
A．They express people's curiosity about the past.
B．They make people interested in everyday experience.
C．They are considered important for variety in form.
D．They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John's only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn't want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life, but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can't aid a person in meeting his daily expenses，” she would say. But as each day passed, John's dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day, John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn't have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John's face lit up.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
A week later, a phone call came to John's home.

第一节 参考范文：
Dear Mr Smith，
Hearing you are really fond of Chinese tea, I'm writing to invite you to take part in a tea culture exhibition, which I believe will enable you to have a deeper understanding about Chinese tea than before.
The exhibition will be held in the museum of our city, running from 9 am to 11 am this Sunday. It is said that the exhibition will be introduced in both Chinese and English. It will offer us a great chance to know the long history of tea as a drink in China. And you'll have a close look at a large variety of tea in China and delicate tea sets. Hope you won't miss it.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，

第二节 参考范文：
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the competition. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John's home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he was awarded a lot of money because of his work, but also because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire.

Lynn Colwell is a mixed media artist in Redmond，Washington.In grade school, a teacher told her that she had no artistic talent and Lynn believed her.However, in 2015 when she retired, she hoped to have a new interest and began to take a year long online painting class.
“It blew me away，” she says.She started painting striking portraits of women's faces，combined with short messages of hope almost every day.In five years, she's completed about 1,000 paintings.
Lynn gives her paintings away.She started with friends，but that only went so far.Then she read about a movement called Art Abandonment, which encourages artists to leave their art in public places for anyone to pick up.That gave her the idea of putting her work into the hands of strangers through Internet.
Nearly every day, Lynn posts a painting online.The first person who responds saying they're interested in it has 24 hours to make a donation of D|S25 or more to their favorite non profit organization or an individual in need.Then the painting is theirs.Lynn doesn't ask for proof.She trusts that the people who want her paintings share her ideas.
Five years later，she's still amazed at the results.Her paintings have raised more than D|S 57,000 for non profit organizations such as animal rescue centers, homeless shelters as well as for people who have lost their jobs.Sometimes Lynn hears that a painting helped someone at the moment who needed it most.“That gives me chills，” she says.
To be a part of Lynn Colwell's art for a cause effort, send her a friend request on her page.Then keep an eye out for a painting that speaks to you.Lynn personally approves each request，so she asks for your patience.Also, she spends most of her time in her art studio — there's painting to be done.“I wake up every day and can't wait to get started，” she says.

Humans feed thousands of songs to AI (人工智能). And it is able to analyse the basic information and recognize patterns that can be used to create original music. Such AI created music is similar to those that any musician might compose.
Recently, an AI powered system has released a song Daddy's Car. This system is able to analyse the composers' original ideas and come up with more ideas to assist them in composing. The system tries to combine the human mind with AI.
Another great invention is an AI based music generating platform, which works very easily. In order to create a new piece, the user just needs to select items like the desired music style (folk, rock, etc.) and the mood (sad or happy). After a few seconds, AI provides a piece of music for the user to download. Each user can create music tailored to his or her interest.
Some musicians use AI to achieve what they could not do on their own. For example, an American pop group has used AI to break out of their comfort zone and try to create something different from their previous songs. Soon they have their new album, which contains 10 songs, all of which are very popular.
The development of AI technology also comes with some concerns. Some human composers fear that their work might be replaced by a machine. Some others are worried about music itself and the music industry, as AI is now able to create music more and more similar to human composed music.
Faced with this challenge, on one hand, human musicians need to remain creative; on the other hand, they should understand how to use these new tools to explore new frontiers. Perhaps the future role of the human musicians will be to focus on emotions, leaving the machines to take care of other procedures.
8．What is the new development about AI in the text
A．Its progress in replacing humans.
B．Its ability in music composing.
C．Its influence on human emotions.
D．Its focus on changing human mind.
9．Why could the pop group create the popular new album
A．Because they stuck to their former music style.
B．Because they went beyond themselves with AI.
C．Because they put in more than ten original songs.
D．Because they insisted on composing by themselves.
10．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Problems about AI composing.
B．Limitations of AI technology.
C．Challenges for human composers.
D．Suggestions to human musicians.
11．Which word best describes the author's attitude toward AI technology
A．Objective. B．Doubtful.
C．Uncaring. D．Confused.
D
Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant (持续的) to artists.No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change — to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging part of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th century Dutch painters to the 19th century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice.Leslie found out the same place where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who keeps on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees.
In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography (摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides, all art begs the age old question: What is real Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the faces of art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
12．The underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 1 most probably means “________”．
A．an object for artistic creation
B．a collection of poems
C．an unusual quality
D．a natural scene
13．Which of the following shows the style of Leslie's paintings
A．They are close in style to works by Thomas Cole.
B．They look like works by the 19th century painters.
C．They mainly show common things in life.
D．They depend heavily on color photography.
14．What is the author's opinion of artistic reality
A．It will not be found in future works of art.
B．It does not have a long lasting standard.
C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D．It is lacking in modern works of art.
15．What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph
A．They express people's curiosity about the past.
B．They make people interested in everyday experience.
C．They are considered important for variety in form.
D．They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.

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。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John's only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn't want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life, but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can't aid a person in meeting his daily expenses，” she would say. But as each day passed, John's dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day, John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn't have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John's face lit up.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
A week later, a phone call came to John's home.

第二节 参考范文：
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the competition. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John's home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he was awarded a lot of money because of his work, but also because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire.
