    To many of us, art is obviously a kind of human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace artists.

1.Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.

A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to turn the novel virus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure. The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor of engineering. He assigned (指定) a unique note to each amino acid (氨基酸) in the protein.2.

Listeners found the project to be “mind-blowing”. “It allows me to see the virus from a new angle,” said one listener.3.As The Verge wrote, “AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before.”

4.For example, in the comic and animation industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动地) color in black-and-white line drawings. Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup, it “could give artists room to experiment, by cutting down the time it takes to color each frame (画面)”, said Joao Do Lago, animator of Netflix’s Castlevania.

As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs.5.

A.The AI then translated these notes into music.

B.AI has become an important part of our everyday life.

C.But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now.

D.AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world.

E.Besides the music industry, AI has entered the world of poetry as well.

F.This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI.

G.Apart from co-creating imaginative works, AI can also help artists avoid repeating tasks.

 

1.C 2.A 3.F 4.G 5.D 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人工智能(AI)不会取代艺术,但它会对艺术产生积极作用。 1. 由下两句“今天许多艺术家正在把人工智能变成一种有用的工具。人工智能并没有取代艺术家,反而给艺术家带来了更多的可能性。”可知,承接下文,C选项“但这种担心似乎没有必要,至少目前是这样。”切题;该选项中的this worry seems to be unnecessary对应下文中的“人工智能并未代替艺术家”。故选C项。 2. 由本段上文中的“人工智能被用来根据病毒的蛋白质结构将这种新型病毒变成一段将近两小时长的音乐。”和“他给蛋白质中的每个氨基酸分配了一个独特的音符。”可知,人工智能将音符变成了音乐,承接上文,A选项“人工智能随后将这些音符翻译成音乐。”切题。故选A项。 3. 由下一句“正如《边缘》所写,“人工智能帮助艺术家以不可预测的方式发挥作用,创造出超出他们以前认为可能的东西。””可知,人工智能将科学和艺术结合起来,帮助艺术家实现了以前不能实现的东西,承接下文,F选项“没有人工智能,科学和艺术之间的这种令人惊讶的结合是不可能实现的。”切题。故选F项。 4. 由下一句“例如,在漫画和动画行业,现在有了人工智能工具,可以在黑白线条图中自动着色。”可知,人工智能能帮艺术家完成上色这种重复性工作,承接下文,G选项“除了共同创作富有想象力的作品,人工智能还可以帮助艺术家避免重复任务。”切题。故选G项。 5. 由上文和上一句“正如彼得·沃德在《文化之旅》中所写,每一种艺术总是受到技术突破的影响。”可知,人工智能给艺术带来了积极影响,所以人工智能是有用的工具,承接上文,D选项“人工智能可以成为给艺术世界带来变革的有用工具。”切题。故选D项。

    Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you may find evidence of human evolution (进化): it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.

According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, more young people have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突).

Australian health scientist David Shahar, the author of the study, told the BBC that he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs over the past ten years. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1,200 skull x-rays from people aged 18–30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture. They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.

According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.

Most of the EEOPs measured just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.

In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.

Many people assume our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels(血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.

Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller skeletons. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?

1.What did the recent study find about EEOPs?

A.They grow on one’s neck.

B.They can lead to many health problems.

C.They may stop growing when you reach 30.

D.They occur among more and more young people.

2.What is the main cause of EEOPs according to the researchers?

A.Extra stress. B.Aging bones.

C.Smartphone use. D.Gene problems.

3.Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?

A.EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.

B.EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.

C.Young people’s bones adapt in similar ways.

D.Young people should exercise to improve their posture.

4.What’s the writing purpose of the text?

A.To persuade readers to protect their spines.

B.To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.

C.To show some recent changes in human bodies.

D.To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.

    When you talk to doctors in the hospitals, it often happens that most of them are very serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public’s attention for his recent frank and funny speech.

Zhang’s words first went viral(走红)on the Internet after he said in late January that he had sent doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. “When becoming CPC members, we vowed (发誓)that we would always put people’s interests first in the face of difficulties,” Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the vow. All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining.”

Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among Internet users. “A person’s morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members,” said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.

One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: “If you don’t stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”

Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends. “I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion (传染病),” said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I’ll just hide myself in a corner, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently.”

1.What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online?

A.His attitude towards his patients. B.His honest and humorous speech.

C.His vow to fight against the virus. D.His broad knowledge of the virus.

2.Zhang Wenhong sent CPC members to frontline hospitals because he believed that      .

A.they would not bargain B.they should do as they had vowed

C.they would be calmer in a critical situation D.they could win recognition from the people

3.What can we infer from Zhang Wenhong’s words in the last paragraph?

A.He doesn’t like to speak in public.

B.He is looking forward to taking a break.

C.He is not a person who is after fame and attention.

D.He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.

    I’ve been taking time this week to stop and smell the roses. Literally, I bend over in my neighbors’ front yard, check that nobody is watching, and then bury my head in the flowers.

I’ve also been walking into bakeries, walking around without buying anything.

After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven’t been able to smell or taste things.

This week, however, my nose is back in business.

I’ve been overwhelmed by smells, and it’s given me a new way of thinking. A pleasant smell is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was five months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled. He’d never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?

The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.

We don’t write postcards about the small things. We don’t frame them in photographs. They aren’t that great or grand, but without them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.

As my sense of smell returns to me, it’s like I’m smelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There’s an itch I can’t reach!

1.With the first two paragraphs, the writer mainly tries to      .

A.give examples of how she kills time B.show that she loves doing secret things

C.get readers to wonder about her behavior D.discuss new ways on how to enjoy spare time

2.What does the underline phrase “a new way of thinking” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.A habit of overcoming ignorance.

B.A habit of giving personal consideration.

C.An ability to fully use our limited attention.

D.An ability to discover the pleasure of small things.

3.The tone of the story is      .

A.lively B.sad C.calm D.serious
