(2025·贵州六盘水高二上期中)
Jason M.Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition.Now,his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer,and what,exactly,it means to be an artist.
In August 2022,Allen,a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West,Colorado,won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition.His winning image,titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial,was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts(提示).
Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting.It’s one of three such images he entered in the competition.Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on August 25,along with pictures of his three entries;it spread quickly on a social media platform days later,with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image.“He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one of the social media users wrote.“We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.”
However,to get the final three images he entered in the competition,Allen said,he took over 80 hours.First,he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets.Over time,with slight adjustments to his written prompts,he created 900 repeating processes of what led to his final three images.He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop.Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution(分辨率) and had the images printed at a local print shop.
Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention.“Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it,we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在美国科罗拉多州博览会艺术比赛中,AI画作获得了一等奖,这惹怒了人类艺术家,并引发了热议。

(2025·湖北四地七校高二上期中)
Art may not be a uniquely human patent.Apes(猿),monkeys,elephants,dolphins and even rabbits can be encouraged to express themselves via pencil and paper.
New research on the artistic efforts of apes suggests that their work varies according to changes in the world around them.The new study,published in the journal Animals,focuses on hundreds of drawings produced by five female apes at Japan’s Tama Zoological Park,where keepers provided them with crayons and paper over many years as part of a behavioural enrichment programme.
One of the apes,named Molly,was especially productive.She only started drawing on her 54th birthday,but from that point on,until her death five years later,she produced about 1,300 pictures.She drew almost every day,creating more complex pictures than her companions.“I don’t know if we can describe her as a genius,”says Sueur,a biologist in the park.“Such differences are often observed between individuals of a species,with some smarter than others.” Sueur and his colleagues identified individual differences between the apes’ artistic styles,in terms of their preferred colors,the types of shapes they drew and the space they filled on the paper.Only Molly routinely filled most of the space available.
Molly’s style changed with the season and her experiences too.In summer and winter,greens dominated her pictures,but she switched to pinks and purples in spring and autumn.Appealingly,she opted for red whenever another female in the group was giving birth,which may indicate that her paintings are something more than purely abstract.
“We’ve tried not to overinterpret,” says Sueur.“It could be earlier representational art.” The biologists suggest that apes may provide clues to the development of artistic skills in humans.Like children,and unlike other species known to put pen to paper,the apes needed no reward to participate in the task,suggesting that they enjoy it for its own interest.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于猿类可以通过艺术创作表达自我的新研究。
5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.Animals’ artwork style remains unchanged.
B.Female animals do much better in art creation.
C.Animals can create masterpieces through efforts.
D.Some animals can acquire artistic skills like humans.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知一些动物可以被鼓励用绘画表达自我,结合第二段中对日本多摩动物园五只雌性猿的绘画作品的研究可推知,一些动物可以像人类一样获得艺术技能。故选D。
6.What might influence the apes’ performance in art creation
A.Their starting age of creation.
B.Their preferred seasons.
C.Individual differences between them.
D.The quantity of their creation.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She drew almost every day,creating more complex pictures than her companions.”和“Such differences are often observed between individuals of a species,with some smarter than others.”可知,影响猿类在艺术创作中的表现的是它们之间的个体差异。故选C。
7.What do the underlined words “opted for” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Chose. B.Described.
C.Interpreted. D.Abandoned.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。本段首句指出Molly的绘画风格随季节和她的经历而变化,第二句则介绍了她在不同季节的颜色偏好,结合画线短语所在的句子中的“whenever another female in the group was giving birth”可知,此处是在介绍经历对她的绘画的影响,可推知每当群体中有另一只雌性分娩时,她会“选择”红色,所以画线单词与A项意义相近。故选A。
8.What can be concluded from apes’ acquiring artistic skills
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.The sooner begun,the better done.
C.Interest is the best teacher.
D.He who laughs last laughs best.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Like children,and unlike other species known to put pen to paper,the apes needed no reward to participate in the task,suggesting that they enjoy it for its own interest.”可知,猿类进行艺术创作不需要奖励,它们是因为绘画本身的趣味性而享受这项任务,由此可推知,兴趣是最好的老师。故选C。

As is well known,making art is good for your health.It can reduce stress and improve your spirit. 1 All you need to do is just spare some time to make art in your daily life.And the more you do it,the better.Here’re some tips to help you kick-start your creative art habit.
2 In fact,there’re no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced in art and those who aren’t.So no matter your level,you could feel all the good things that come with making art.
Figure out your mode of creative expression.There’re many choices available:painting,cooking,baking,woodworking,sewing—the sky’s the limit.Keep an open mind.Anything that sets off your creative mind is good for you. 3 Mix it up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.
Focus on the making and let go of expectations.Once you have your art materials,here comes the fun part.Let yourself get lost in the process and just play.It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief and positive spirit,not what you make. 4
Think about making art like any healthy habit.Just as you make time to exercise and hang out with friends,you should make time for your artistic creation.You don’t even need a few hours. 5 In addition to carving out time,carve out a physical space for art.You could set up a corner table for your art supplies.If space is an issue,put them all in a container that’s easily accessible.
A.Improve yourself with regular practice.
B.Don’t require yourself to have great skills.
C.And don’t feel like you have to stick to one thing.
D.However,developing interest in art takes little time.
E.Doing just 10 minutes of art each day can do wonders.
F.But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get these benefits.
G.So,you don’t even need to finish what you’re making to feel those health benefits.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。艺术创作对人的健康有好处,可以减少压力,改善精神。文章主要提出了一些可以帮助你开始你的创造性艺术习惯的建议。
1.答案 F
解析 上文“As is well known,making art is good for your health.It can reduce stress and improve your spirit.”提出艺术创作具有积极影响,结合下文 “All you need to do is just spare some time to make art in your daily life.”可知,我们只需日常抽一些时间进行艺术创作,F项中的these benefits与上文内容对应,full-time与下文中的spare some time呼应,承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
2.答案 B
解析 空处为本段主旨句,根据下文“In fact,there’re no differences in health outcomes between those who are identified as experienced in art and those who aren’t.”可知,有无艺术经验对保健效果没有影响,由此可知,本段讲的是“不要要求自己有高超的技能”,B项可以总领本段下文,符合语境。故选B。
3.答案 C
解析 上文指出所有凸显你的创造性思维的活动都是好的,下文“Mix it up—do whatever you’re in the mood for.”说明可以做任何你想做的,而不必拘泥于一种活动,所以C项“不要觉得你必须固守某一件事”可引出下文,符合语境。故选C。
4.答案 G
解析 根据上文“It’s the physical act of making art that causes those feelings of stress relief and positive spirit,not what you make.”可知,艺术创作所带来的健康益处并不依附于创作结果,而依附于创作的身体行为,G项“所以,你甚至不需要完成你正在创作的东西就能感受到那些健康益处”承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
5.答案 E
解析 根据上文“You don’t even need a few hours.”可知,艺术创作不需要很多的时间,E项“每天只做10分钟的艺术创作就能产生奇妙的效果”进一步说明了上文观点,符合语境。故选E。

1.答案 originated
解析 考查时态。根据后文from the Ming Dynasty可知为一般过去时。故填originated。
2.答案 were created
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据上文the Ming Dynasty可知用一般过去时,且sugar animals and figures和create之间是被动关系,故使用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数,谓语用复数。故填were created。
3.答案 more popular
解析 考查形容词比较级。根据句中than可知应用比较级。故填more popular。
4.答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子结构,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是patterns,为物,在从句中作of的宾语,用关系代词which引导。故填which。
5.答案 adding
解析 考查非谓语动词。空处作介词by的宾语,应用动名词形式。故填adding。

8.答案 to protect
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,主句中are making为谓语动词,空处为非谓语动词。make efforts to do sth为固定搭配,此处应用动词不定式。故填to protect。
9.答案 an
解析 考查冠词。分析句子结构,空处应填冠词与后面intangible cultural heritage构成名词短语作宾语。此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,同时intangible的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
10.答案 recognition
解析 考查名词。空处作have gained的宾语,应用名词recognition,不可数。故填recognition。(共67张PPT)

Jason M.Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition.Now,his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer,and what,exactly,it means to be an artist.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在美国科罗拉多州博览会艺术比赛中,AI画作获得了一等奖,这惹怒了人类艺术家,并引发了热议。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
In August 2022,Allen,a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West,Colorado,won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition.His winning image,titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial,was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts(提示).
Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting.It’s one of three such images he entered in the competition.Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on August 25,along with pictures of his three entries;it spread quickly on a social media platform days later,with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image.“He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one of the social media users wrote.“We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.”
However,to get the final three images he entered in the competition,Allen said,he took over 80 hours.First,he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets.Over time,with slight adjustments to his written prompts,he created 900 repeating processes of what led to his final three images.He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop.Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution(分辨率) and had the images printed at a local print shop.
Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention.“Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it,we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said.
1.What do we know about Théatre D’opéra Spatial
A.Its beauty is widely accepted.
B.Its creation is an easy process.
C.It shows the death of traditional art.

B(此篇精读)
(2025·湖北四地七校高二上期中)
Art may not be a uniquely human patent.Apes(猿),monkeys,elephants,dolphins and even rabbits can be encouraged to express themselves via pencil and paper.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于猿类可以通过艺术创作表达自我的新研究。
New research on the artistic efforts of apes suggests that their work varies according to changes in the world around them.The new study,published in the journal Animals,focuses on hundreds of drawings produced by five female apes at Japan’s Tama Zoological Park,where keepers provided them with crayons and paper over many years as part of a behavioural enrichment programme.
One of the apes,named Molly,was especially productive.She only started drawing on her 54th birthday,but from that point on,until her death five years later,she produced about 1,300 pictures.She drew almost every day,creating more complex pictures than her companions.“I don’t know if we can describe her as a genius,”says Sueur,a biologist in the park.“Such differences are often observed between individuals of a species,with some smarter than others.” Sueur and his colleagues identified individual differences between the apes’ artistic styles,in terms of their preferred colors,the types of shapes they drew and the space they filled on the paper.Only Molly routinely filled most of the space available.
Molly’s style changed with the season and her experiences too.In summer and winter,greens dominated her pictures,but she switched to pinks and purples in spring and autumn.Appealingly,she opted for red whenever another female in the group was giving birth,which may indicate that her paintings are something more than purely abstract.
“We’ve tried not to overinterpret,” says Sueur.“It could be earlier representational art.” The biologists suggest that apes may provide clues to the development of artistic skills in humans.Like children,and unlike other species known to put pen to paper,the apes needed no reward to participate in the task,suggesting that they enjoy it for its own interest.
5.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.Animals’ artwork style remains unchanged.
B.Female animals do much better in art creation.
C.Animals can create masterpieces through efforts.
D.Some animals can acquire artistic skills like humans.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知一些动物可以被鼓励用绘画表达自我,结合第二段中对日本多摩动物园五只雌性猿的绘画作品的研究可推知,一些动物可以像人类一样获得艺术技能。故选D。
解析
6.What might influence the apes’ performance in art creation
A.Their starting age of creation.
B.Their preferred seasons.
C.Individual differences between them.
D.The quantity of their creation.
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She drew almost every day,creating more complex pictures than her companions.”和“Such differences are often observed between individuals of a species,with some smarter than others.”可知,影响猿类在艺术创作中的表现的是它们之间的个体差异。故选C。
解析
√
7.What do the underlined words “opted for” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Chose. B.Described.
C.Interpreted. D.Abandoned.
√
词义猜测题。本段首句指出Molly的绘画风格随季节和她的经历而变化,第二句则介绍了她在不同季节的颜色偏好,结合画线短语所在的句子中的“whenever another female in the group was giving birth”可知,此处是在介绍经历对她的绘画的影响,可推知每当群体中有另一只雌性分娩时,她会“选择”红色,所以画线单词与A项意义相近。故选A。
解析
8.What can be concluded from apes’ acquiring artistic skills
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.The sooner begun,the better done.
C.Interest is the best teacher.
D.He who laughs last laughs best.
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Like children,and unlike other species known to put pen to paper,the apes needed no reward to participate in the task,suggesting that they enjoy it for its own interest.”可知,猿类进行艺术创作不需要奖励,它们是因为绘画本身的趣味性而享受这项任务,由此可推知,兴趣是最好的老师。故选C。
解析
√
1.productive adj.富有成效的;多产的
2.routinely adv.例行地;常规地,惯常地→routine n.惯例,常规;例程 adj.常规的;日常的;平常的
3.overinterpret(合)=over+interpret v.过度解释
类似单词:overjoyed adj.万分高兴的,欣喜若狂的;overwork n.劳累过度 v.(使)过度劳累;overestimate vt.高估
4.representational adj.代表性的;具象派的→represent v.代表;象征;相当于;描绘→representation n.代表;表现形式
词汇积累
The new study,published in the journal Animals,focuses on hundreds of drawings produced by five female apes at Japan’s Tama Zoological Park,where keepers provided them with crayons and paper over many years as part of a behavioural enrichment programme.
分析:此句为复合句。published in...Animals和produced by...Park均为过去分词短语作后置定语;where引导非限制性定语从句。
翻译:这项发表在《动物》杂志上的新研究重点关注了日本多摩动物园的五只雌性猿类绘制的数百幅图画。多年来,饲养员向它们提供蜡笔和纸张,作为行为丰富计划的一部分。
