能力提升
Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们对人工智能艺术作品的价值、意义及发展方向的看法。
1．D [推理判断题。文章第一段描述了艺术家兼软件工程师Tyka向观众展示使用人工智能创作的艺术作品并向观众提问的场景；第二段则承接第一段，开始介绍与当前人工智能艺术作品有关的一些令人困惑的问题。由此推知，第一段起到引出本文话题的作用。故选D。]
2．A [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When artwork is accomplished by means of the algorithm，who is the artist—the programmer or the computer？”可知，艺术行业的人们对“谁是人工智能艺术作品的真正创作者？”感到困惑。故选A。]
3．D [词义猜测题。第四段主要阐述了Klingemann对这种艺术作品的看法，结合该段中的“Instead，he thinks it will one day be viewed as simply another tool of the artist．”可知，他对这种艺术形式持支持态度，故推断画线词所在句是说他认为当前对于人工智能艺术作品的争论终会平息。画线词buzz与D项“争论”意思相近。故选D。]
4．C [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“‘Just like photography never goes away，or making movies doesn't，I'm pretty sure it will establish itself as a new media format，’he says．”和“I expect this to become really just a normal thing”可知，Klingemann认为人工智能艺术将像摄影和电影一样成为一种常见的媒体形式。故选C。]
Ⅱ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在创作灵感枯竭时怎样获得灵感。
1．B [根据上文可知，获得灵感的方式是因人而异的。B项“按照自己的喜好工作。”承接上文，符合文意。故选B。]
2．E [上文“Get ideas from other people's art．”提议大家可以通过别人的艺术获得灵感，下文“You can then attempt to copy the style”指出可以尝试模仿这种风格，E项“观察其他艺术家如何创作他们的艺术作品。”承上启下，符合文意。故选E。]
3．A [下文指出没有灵感的时候需要休息一下，A项“休息一下。”符合文意，引出下文对于休息的进一步说明。故选A。]
4．D [根据上文“Learn all over again．”以及下文“it's time to look up some tutorials or do the copy from the reference method”可知，本段提议大家不要一直创造相同的东西。D项“学会用你的艺术做新的事情。”承上启下，符合文意。故选D。]
5．G [上文“Copying others' art for the sake of learning to draw is fine as long as you don't take credit for it．”指出，为了学习可以适当借鉴他人的艺术。G项“使用其他艺术家的艺术作为你自己的灵感。”承接上文，符合文意。故选G。]
Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了乐器的起源及其发展历史。
1．D [ across time表示“跨越时间”，此处指“音乐被称为跨越时间的声音艺术”，即在不同时间都可以响起。]
2．C [根据后面的提示“high or low...”可知，此处用soft和loud对应。]
3．A [本句意为“声音要成为音乐，需要以某种模式持续一段时间”。此处描述了声音是如何演变成音乐的。]
4．D [根据下文的“As with language”可知，此处是用音乐和语言作比较。]
5．C [本句表示“每种音乐都有自己的规则，并以它自己的方式跟我们‘对话’。”即音乐的声音如同在跟我们讲话，此处用speak对应上文的“a human form of communication”。]
6．B [根据下文可以判断，本段介绍了音乐是何时开始的。]
7．D [根据下文列举的例子“收庄稼和划船”可知，这些都是“重复动作”的劳作，即人们在重复动作中歌唱以便让工作进行得快些。]
8．C [根据上一题可知，人们不断重复劳作的时候可以唱出与工作相适配的节拍。]
9．B [根据下文可知，本段讲述了乐器的形成。]
10．A [根据上文的“clapping their hands”可知，此处应用feet与之对应。]
11．C [本句是讲发出“嘎嘎”声的棍棒和物品取代了人体作为乐器使用。]
12．D [参见上题解析。]
13．D [根据下文的“harder”可知，此处指“更复杂的”。]
14．A [结合空格所在句和下文的“Popular and folk styles typically are easier to create，perform，and understand．”可知，此处是指一般老百姓可以欣赏的民间音乐。]
15．A [根据上文的“harder to write and perform”可知，此处表示“需要大量训练”。]
Ⅳ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国最流行的民间艺术之一——剪纸的重要性、操作方法以及特点。
1．sixth [考查序数词。句意：考古发现表明，这一传统始于第六世纪，人们甚至认为，剪纸的起源甚至还要早几个世纪。结合句意可知，此处表示“第六世纪”，应用序数词sixth。故填sixth。]
2．earlier [考查形容词的比较等级。结合语境可知，此处表示“更早”，应用early的比较级形式earlier。故填earlier。]
3．importance [考查词性转换。空处作宾语，用名词importance，表示抽象概念，为不可数名词。故填importance。]
4．To get [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语put up，此处作目的状语，应用不定式，且句首单词首字母要大写。故填To get。]
5．on [考查介词。结合句意可知，此处表示“在……上张贴”，应用短语put up sth．on。故填on。]
6．are placed [考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。陈述客观事实用一般现在时；主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态；主语为Several pieces of paper，故谓语用复数。故填are placed。]
7．the [考查冠词。paper在此处为特指，应用定冠词。故填the。]
8．girls [考查名词复数。girl为可数名词，结合空前的“women and”可知，应用复数。故填girls。]
9．eating [考查非谓语动词。此处为动词-ing形式的复合结构作介词的宾语，故eat应用动词-ing形式。故填eating。]
10．who/that [考查定语从句。此处为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词men，且先行词在从句中作主语，指人，故用关系代词who或that引导。故填who/that。]

Ⅰ．阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
“Is it art？”Tyka，an artist and software engineer，asked the audience at Christie's 2019 Art＋ Tech Summit in New York in June 2019．The event's theme was“The AI Revolution”and Tyka was referring to artwork created using artificial intelligence．He flashed an image of a urinal(男用小便池) on two large screens at either side of the stage—Marcel Duchamp's famous and controversial sculpture Fountain．The audience laughed．“Obviously，it can be，”he said．
However，many in the art community are wrestling with several unanswered questions after an algorithm-generated print that resembled 19th century European portraits was sold for $432，500．For example：When artwork is accomplished by means of the algorithm(算法)，who is the artist—the programmer or the computer Because many works of AI art are digital，how do you value a creation that's designed to live natively on the Internet and be widely shared And where，exactly，is the market for this new kind of work headed？There are few clear answers．
Claire Marmion，the founder and CEO of Haven Art Group，says collectors are still trying to figure out where the market for AI art is heading，and that it may not be the disruptive (破坏性的) force that some think it will be．Or，at least，the industry will adapt to it．
Mario Klingemann，whose work was sold by Sotheby's，prefers the term“generative art”，which includes all works created using algorithms，and believes the current buzz will eventually die down，otherwise AI art isn't going anywhere．Instead，he thinks it will one day be viewed as simply another tool of the artist．
“Just like photography never goes away，or making movies doesn't，I'm pretty sure it will establish itself as a new media format，”he says．“Right now，of course，it's all this mystery about AI，but I expect this to become really just a normal thing，where people will focus on what artists are actually saying with their art．”
1．What's the function of the first paragraph
A．To show what art is．
B．To entertain readers．
C．To explain the event's theme．
D．To lead to the topic of the passage．
2．What makes people in the art industry feel confused
A．Who is the real creator of a piece of AI artwork
B．Where the market for AI artwork is located
C．How to sell AI artwork at a high price
D．How to share AI artwork
3．Which can best explain the underlined word“buzz”in paragraph 4
A．Excitement． B．Objection．
C．Revolution． D．Controversy．
4．What does Klingemann think about AI art
A．Its future is unclear．
B．It will disturb the traditional art industry．
C．It will be as common as photography and movies．
D．It will be applied to photography and film industry．
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
It can be hard to come up with original ideas when creating art．However，there are things that you can do to get over your artist's block and create new，unique art，whether you're painting，drawing，sculpting or doing anything else．
Listen to music．If you find that you need some help in getting inspired，try listening to music as you create art，particularly the music that you like，and the music that suits the atmosphere of the piece you are trying to create．This method works well for some people．However，others might need complete silence in order to work． 1 _
Get ideas from other people's art． 2 You can then attempt to copy the style，but with a twist of your own，to help get you inspired．Watching how other people shape and uniquely craft their art can help to inspire you and may help you to improve in drawing．
3 If you've been trying too hard to be inspired and keep drawing a blank，it's time to pull back．Even if you take a break for a month or so，you will come back refreshed and ready to create again．
Learn all over again． 4 If you're having an artist's block，the problem might just be that you've run out of things to do and you find yourself creating the same thing over and over again．If this is the case，it's time to look up some tutorials or do the copy from the reference method．
Be sure not to copy other people's artwork．Copying others' art for the sake of learning to draw is fine as long as you don't take credit for it． 5 You can't just draw what they've drawn and then change the colours up a little or add a few minor details in to make it yours．
A．Take a break．
B．Work to your own preference．
C．Put your heart to your art．
D．Learn to do new things with your art．
E．Observe how other artists do their artworks．
F．Ask advice from other artists for your art．
G．Use other artists' art as inspiration for your own．
