Ⅰ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。上个月,科罗拉多州博览会的一位艺术奖得主在他发布消息并解释他用AI创作后,引发了一场暴力抗议,这也标志着艺术创作的规则显然正在发生变化。
1.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Artists everywhere are getting ‘understandably nervous’ about recent advances in artificial intelligence. Last month, a winner of an art prize at the Colorado State Fair ‘sparked a violent protest’ when he posted the news and explained that he’d created his image using an AI program. Critics quickly accused 39-year-old Lance Allen of cheating. To be fair, Allen had won in the digital art category and made no secret of how the image had been produced. But the rules of art making are clearly changing.”可知,艺术家担忧AI是因为39岁的Lance Allen通过AI创作参加比赛并得奖,这导致艺术创作的规则发生改变。故选D项。
2.A 段落大意题。根据第二段“‘Allen’s creative process, to be clear, was not a push-button operation,’ said Jason Blain in Forbes. He claims to have spent 80 hours on his entry…”可知,这一段主要介绍了Allen的AI创作不是按按钮就能解决的,而是通过80个小时的精心制作而成的。故选A项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“A more inspiring lesson to take from his victory, though, is that image generators are likely to ‘expand the appreciation and creation of art’ by opening the field to people, like him, who could never draw anything as detailed as his award-winning image. ‘If anything, we will have more artists, and as the technology progresses, we might see the emergence of art styles that none have seen before.’”可知,从Allen获奖我们可以得出的经验就是,人工智能会让艺术对更多的人开放,并出现前所未有的艺术风格,这能让艺术变得更加流行、普遍。故选B项。
4.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“One of the most complicated image generators ‘makes crystal clear just how destructive this technology will be,’ said Loz Eliot in New Atlas. Given a specific prompt, it can produce an image of just about anything you can imagine and even follow the style of a favourite artist’s work. Its arrival marks ‘an incredible popularization of visual creativity’ while aiming ‘a knife to the heart of anyone who’s spent decades improving their artistic techniques hoping to make a living from them.’”可知,Loz Eliot认为这项技术是具有破坏性的,因为他认为这就是一把对准那些花了几十年时间改进艺术技巧并希望以此谋生的人的心的刀。这意味着仅仅一项技术就可以生产出你能想象的任何东西,让长期创作的艺术家的努力变得毫无意义。故选C项。
Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何更好地享受艺术提出了一些建议。
1.D 根据上文“Many of you would love to have deep connection with art when you look at a painting or sculpture. But how do you do that exactly ”可知,本句主要回答上文提到的关于如何和艺术产生联系的建议,故D项“以下建议可以帮助你更好地享受艺术。”符合语境,故选D。
2.E 根据上文“Some artworks may be surprising, and others might be a let-down. And that’s OK. So allow yourself to feel however the art makes you feel.”以及后文“Studies have shown that it can lower stress—particularly when people view images of landscapes and seascapes. And it makes you feel good.”可知,后文提到艺术可以减压,由此推测本句引出后文,指出观看艺术可以影响人的心理。故E项“观看艺术可以对你的心理产生深远的影响。”符合语境,故选E。
3.C 根据本段内容“First, be realistic about how long you can spend at the museum. You don’t need more than an hour or two. After that, it becomes ‘information overload’ and it’s hard to stay focused. Next, be strategic about what you want to look at. Either way, there’s no right way to go through an art museum. So mind your time and make sure you concentrate on what really interests you.”可知,本段主要介绍了参观博物馆的一些事项。故C项“让你的博物馆之旅简短且有重点。”符合语境,故选C。
4.F 根据上文“Get up close and personal. We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum. So take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen.”可知,本句承接上文,说明观察作品的原因,故F项“这将帮助你从艺术家的角度看到和感受到它是什么样子。”符合语境,故选F。
5.G 根据后文“It can also help you make sense of the world around you. When you look at art and open yourselves to understanding it, you gain a deeper understanding not just of artists, but also different kinds of ways of making arts.”可知,本句主要说明后文it指代的内容,后文提到了你对艺术家有更深的理解,即帮助你理解艺术家。故G项“观察可以帮助你理解艺术家如何表达他们的情感。”符合语境,故选G。

第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Amy喜欢画画,但是奶奶反对,认为这对她的未来没有帮助,著名的纽约漫画家Henderson先生在一封信中看到了Amy的作品,并且非常赏识她,但是Henderson先生给Amy寄来的信却被奶奶藏起来了。结果Henderson先生亲自来到了Amy家,鼓励Amy参加暑期艺术培训课程,提出委员会帮助支付所有费用,并希望她在家完成测试。最后,Amy对绘画的强烈热爱深深打动了奶奶,并得到奶奶的支持。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在Henderson先生来访后,Amy无法抑制她的兴奋。”可知,第一段可描写Amy备受鼓舞,积极准备,通过测试。
②由第二段首句内容“Amy对绘画的强烈热爱深深打动了Bonnie。”可知,第二段可描写奶奶Bonnie的心态转变和对Amy的支持,使她在绘画的艺术道路上走向成功。
2.续写线索:Amy下定决心—Amy练习绘画—Amy完成测试—Bonnie的心态转变—Bonnie的支持—感悟。
One possible version:
Amy couldn’t contain her excitement after Mr Henderson’s visit. She carefully examined the test assignment he had given her. The challenge seemed difficult, but Amy was determined to prove herself. She spent hours each day practising her drawing skills. As days turned into weeks, Amy’s progress was remarkable. She submitted her completed test assignment to Mr Henderson, who was genuinely impressed by her improvement. He believed that Amy had the ability to excel in the arts training programme and even make a successful career in the field of art.
Amy’s strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie. She began to notice the efforts and passion Amy put into her work. She realized that Amy had a talent for drawing, and that perhaps her artistic dream was worth pursuing. Overtime, Bonnie started to support Amy. She understood that this opportunity could be life-changing for her granddaughter. With Bonnie’s support, Amy devoted herself to the arts training programme and learned a lot from Mr Henderson. Sometimes dreams could become a reality with the right opportunity and strong support.Period Five Writing

[2024·广东河源高二联考]
Artists everywhere are getting “understandably nervous” about recent advances in artificial intelligence. Last month, a winner of an art prize at the Colorado State Fair “sparked a violent protest” when he posted the news and explained that he’d created his image using an AI program. Critics quickly accused 39-year-old Lance Allen of cheating. To be fair, Allen had won in the digital art category and made no secret of how the image had been produced. But the rules of art making are clearly changing.
“Allen’s creative process, to be clear, was not a push-button operation,” said Jason Blain in Forbes. He claims to have spent 80 hours on his entry, first fine-tuning his text prompts (提示), then touching up the final image using Photoshop and similar tools, then arranging to print the image on canvas. He made the finished product using AI much as a photographer creates an image using a camera.
But Allen, a tabletop game developer, is awed by AI’s capabilities and urges artists and illustrators to welcome the technology rather than fight it. “Art is dead,” he says. “AI won. Humans lost.” A more inspiring lesson to take from his victory, though, is that image generators are likely to “expand the appreciation and creation of art” by opening the field to people, like him, who could never draw anything as detailed as his award-winning image. “If anything, we will have more artists, and as the technology progresses, we might see the emergence of art styles that none have seen before.”
You can’t blame traditional artists if they’re unhappy. Image generators work their magic, after all, by analysing the aesthetics (美学) of millions of pre-existing images. One of the most complicated image generators “makes crystal clear just how destructive this technology will be,” said Loz Eliot in New Atlas. Given a specific prompt, it can produce an image of just about anything you can imagine and even follow the style of a favourite artist’s work. Its arrival marks “an incredible popularization of visual creativity” while aiming “a knife to the heart of anyone who’s spent decades improving their artistic techniques hoping to make a living from them.”
( )1.Why are artists getting nervous about AI recently
A.A winner of an art prize used AI.
B.Lance Allen cheated in the art competition.
C.The digital art will soon dominate.
D.There will be great changes in art creation.
( )2.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 2
A.It was no easy work for Allen even with AI.
B.Allen worked as a photographer creating an image.
C.AI played a key role in Allen’s art creation.
D.Although with AI, Allen’s creation counted a lot.
( )3.What lesson can we draw from Allen’s winning
A.Humans have been beaten by AI.
B.AI will make art more popular.
C.Greater artists and new art styles will appear.
D.AI enables amateurs to win art competitions.
( )4.Why does Loz Eliot say the new technology will be destructive
A.It works by analysing images created by humans.
B.It can produce images beyond people’s imagination.
C.It makes artists’ long-time effort meaningless.
D.It makes it impossible for artists to make a living.
●Ⅱ 阅读七选五
Want to “feel something” when you
look at art
Many of you would love to have deep connection with art when you look at a painting or sculpture. But how do you do that exactly 1.
Keep an open mind.
Some artworks may be surprising, and others might be a let-down. And that’s OK. So allow yourself to feel however the art makes you feel. 2. Studies have shown that it can lower stress—particularly when people view images of landscapes and seascapes. And it makes you feel good.
3.
First, be realistic about how long you can spend at the museum. You don’t need more than an hour or two. After that, it becomes “information overload” and it’s hard to stay focused. Next, be strategic about what you want to look at. Either way, there’s no right way to go through an art museum. So mind your time and make sure you concentrate on what really interests you.
Observe the art in person.
Get up close and personal. We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum. So take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen. 4. Besides, consider the subject of the art, which can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work.
Appreciate and reflect.
5. It can also help you make sense of the world around you. When you look at art and open yourselves to understanding it, you gain a deeper understanding not just of artists, but also different kinds of ways of making arts.
A.Arrange your time properly.
B.Reflection is a key to art appreciation.
C.Keep your museum visit short and focused.
D.The following tips may help you better enjoy art.
E.Viewing art can have a profound impact on your psychology.
F.This will help you see and feel what it is like from the artist’s perspective.
G.The observation can help you appreciate how artists express their emotions.

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。
Amy loved drawing, but her grandmother Bonnie was opposed to it, who thought those strange things Amy drew were not going to help her in the future. One day, when they were eating dinner at the table, the doorbell rang.
Amy answered the door to see a well-dressed man standing at the door. “Oh my God, I know you! Mr Henderson ” Amy said gladly. “You are my favourite cartoonist (漫画家)! Wow! Hello, sir!” Then she led Mr Henderson into her house.
Mr Henderson was a famous New York-based cartoonist. He worked for an art magazine.
“I received a letter with some samples (样本) of your artwork, Amy. And I must say I was so impressed by your talent. In fact, I wrote you letters, but I never got a reply,” Mr Henderson said to Amy. “If I hadn’t visited you today, you might have missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“You sent me letters ” Amy wondered aloud. Amy noticed Bonnie sat uneasily in her seat, and she realized why the letters had never reached her. Her grandmother kept them hidden from her. Mr Henderson continued, “We are accepting applications for our arts training programme this summer. I would personally teach the students the art of cartoons and everything related. For that, you need to pass a drawing test. If everything goes well, you will be able to learn from me later and pursue your dream for art.”
Amy was excited about the news, but Bonnie refused and said angrily, “You are wasting our time, sir. Please leave.”
“But ma’am, this can really shape your granddaughter’s career,” Mr Henderson said. “And if you’re concerned about the money, please don’t be. The committee will cover all the costs. A gifted childlike Amy can greatly benefit from the programme.” Then Mr Henderson pulled out a file from his document case and gave it to Amy. “It’s a test assignment. I know your grandmother is against it and things are tough, but I hope you’ll be able to do it,” he added as he left the house.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Amy couldn’t contain her excitement after Mr Henderson’s visit.

Amy’s strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie.

favourite artist's work. Its arrival marks ‘an incredible
popularization of visual creativity’ while aiming ‘a knife to the
heart of anyone who's spent decades improving their artistic
techniques hoping to make a living from them.’”可知,Loz Eliot
认为这项技术是具有破坏性的,因为他认为这就是一把对准那些花
了几十年时间改进艺术技巧并希望以此谋生的人的心的刀。这意味
着仅仅一项技术就可以生产出你能想象的任何东西,让长期创作的
艺术家的努力变得毫无意义。故选C项。

第二节 读后续写
[2024·陕西宝鸡中学高二阶段考试]
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。
Amy loved drawing, but her grandmother Bonnie was
opposed to it, who thought those strange things Amy drew
were not going to help her in the future. One day, when they
were eating dinner at the table, the doorbell rang.
Amy answered the door to see a well-dressed man
standing at the door. “Oh my God, I know you! Mr Henderson ”
Amy said gladly. “You are my favourite cartoonist (漫画家)! Wow!
Hello, sir!” Then she led Mr Henderson into her house.
Mr Henderson was a famous New York-based cartoonist.
He worked for an art magazine.
“I received a letter with some samples (样本) of your
artwork, Amy. And I must say I was so impressed by your talent.
In fact, I wrote you letters, but I never got a reply,” Mr
Henderson said to Amy. “If I hadn't visited you today, you
might have missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“You sent me letters ” Amy wondered aloud. Amy noticed
Bonnie sat uneasily in her seat, and she realized why the letters
had never reached her. Her grandmother kept them hidden
from her. Mr Henderson continued, “We are accepting
applications for our arts training programme this summer. I
would personally teach the students the art of cartoons and
everything related. For that, you need to pass a drawing test.
If everything goes well, you will be able to learn from me later
and pursue your dream for art.”
Amy was excited about the news, but Bonnie refused and
said angrily, “You are wasting our time, sir. Please leave.”
“But ma'am, this can really shape your granddaughter's
career,” Mr Henderson said. “And if you're concerned about the
money, please don't be. The committee will cover all the costs.
A gifted childlike Amy can greatly benefit from the programme.”
Then Mr Henderson pulled out a file from his document case
and gave it to Amy. “It's a test assignment. I know your
grandmother is against it and things are tough, but I hope
you'll be able to do it,” he added as he left the house.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Amy couldn't contain her excitement after Mr Henderson's
visit.___________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Amy's strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie._______
【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Amy喜欢画画,但是
奶奶反对,认为这对她的未来没有帮助,著名的纽约漫画家
Henderson先生在一封信中看到了Amy的作品,并且非常赏识她,但
是Henderson先生给Amy寄来的信却被奶奶藏起来了。结果
Henderson先生亲自来到了Amy家,鼓励Amy参加暑期艺术培训课程,
提出委员会帮助支付所有费用,并希望她在家完成测试。最后,
Amy对绘画的强烈热爱深深打动了奶奶,并得到奶奶的支持。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在Henderson先生来访后,Amy无法抑制她的
兴奋。”可知,第一段可描写Amy备受鼓舞,积极准备,通过测试。
②由第二段首句内容“Amy对绘画的强烈热爱深深打动了Bonnie。”可
知,第二段可描写奶奶Bonnie的心态转变和对Amy的支持,使她在
绘画的艺术道路上走向成功。
2.续写线索:Amy下定决心—Amy练习绘画—Amy完成测试—Bonnie
的心态转变—Bonnie的支持—感悟。
One possible version:
Amy couldn't contain her excitement after Mr Henderson's
visit. She carefully examined the test assignment he had given
her. The challenge seemed difficult, but Amy was determined to
prove herself. She spent hours each day practising her
drawing skills. As days turned into weeks, Amy's progress was
remarkable. She submitted her completed test assignment to
Mr Henderson, who was genuinely impressed by her
improvement. He believed that Amy had the ability to excel in
the arts training programme and even make a successful career
in the field of art.
Amy's strong love for drawing deeply touched Bonnie. She
began to notice the efforts and passion Amy put into her
work. She realized that Amy had a talent for drawing, and that
perhaps her artistic dream was worth pursuing. Overtime, Bonnie
started to support Amy. She understood that this opportunity
could be life-changing for her granddaughter. With Bonnie's
support, Amy devoted herself to the arts training programme
and learned a lot from Mr Henderson. Sometimes dreams
could become a reality with the right opportunity and strong
support.
