The day trip has been specially designed for young people to help them learn about Macao’s rich history, vibrant (充满活力的) culture and sustainable practices. Jayde e Lai, a Year 11 student at Canossa College, says, “I’d never been to Macao before the tour, so as a newcomer, I felt that the tour did a good job of compacting (压缩) Macao’s 400-year history into a day’s event. I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.” The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress. Lai says she was most fascinated to learn about some of Macao’s sustainable practices. “Besides the exhibits in the Macao Tea Culture House, we also learned how tea leaf residues (残渣) are recycled to produce items such as cups and even furniture,” she says. “We were asked to smell these products, and they really do smell like tea!” Choi feels it is great that her students had the opportunity to go on such an interesting tour. “They were talking excitedly about the activities they did and I think it really helped to arouse their curiosity,” she says. “Excursions are truly necessary for students to become well-rounded individuals.” 1．What does the underlined word “excursions” in the first paragraph mean?

The park marks the location of Yin Xu, the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty. The museum’s buildings have been given the appearance of ancient structures. That makes them fit in tastefully with the surrounding landscape and provides a suitable setting for the cultural relies it displays. These were all unearthed through archaeological digs at the site itself as far back as the 1920s. Exploration is still ongoing and new archaeological treasures are periodically discovered. The buried relics of Yin Xu form the biggest archaeological site in all of China. Yin Xu once covered an area of about 24 square kilometers and was divided into several different districts, including a palace district, a civil residence district, a workshop district and a tomb district. Many of the cultural relics that were unearthed during archaeological digs such as bronzes, carved jade objects, pottery, lacquerware and oracle bones are now on display at the museum. A four-legged bronze cauldron (大锅) that was discovered at the site in 1939 is perhaps the single most famous relic that was unearthed from Yin Xu. It was at first known as the Simuwu Ding but is now known as the Houmuwu Ding. It is now on display at the National Museum of China in Beijing but you can see a replica (复制品) of it at Yin Ruins Museum. Most people that have heard of Yin Xu across the world, however, connect the site with the discovery of the oracle bones with mysterious ancient inscriptions on them. It is believed that farmers in the area had periodically discovered such bones as far back as the Han Dynasty. 1．What is the purpose of giving the museum’s buildings the appearance of ancient structures?

In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections. Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. It includes a variety of mediums such as animation, 3D modelling, virtual reality and video game design. Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before. The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time. On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks. On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks. The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences. In general, while there may still be some debate over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections, it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression. As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come. 1．What do we know about the digital art from the first three paragraphs? A．It is warmly welcomed by all museums. B．Its uniqueness leads to its high market value. C．Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology. D．It should be placed in museums according to most people. 2．What does the underlined word “endorse” in paragraph 4mean?

C．Most museums have accepted it as their collection. D．This kind of exhibition can be seen all over the world. 4．Which can be the best title for the text?

C．Digital art: the most popular art form D．How does digital art enter museums? 11 Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic (正宗的) local snacks. In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts (爱好者) to act as tour guides. A young entrepreneur (主办者) based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account recently, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has established Citywalk routes using public bus routes to help day-trippers reach more far-flung districts by public transport and continue on foot. Even though Citywalk is a relatively niche and new phenomenon, industry insiders say that its potential is huge. Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences in a bid to attract potential customers. Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences that align with their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands.

They can follow a special urban route (路线), exploring old building, drinking a cup of coffee, or eating local snacks.

Citywalk not only offers a way for young people to interact with a city but also provides an opportunity for people who share the same interests and ideas to easily make friends. Xiao Yiyi said her group usually includes a few or so people and her trips last around half a day. Even though Citywalk is a new trend, industry insiders say that its future possibility is huge. It is offering a beneficial change to travelers as they can better choose the experiences that suit their interests and needs.

Here are some citywalk routes based on the TV series that are worthy of exploration:Major citywalk route: Huanghe Road → West Nanjing Road → East Nanjing Road → East Zhongshan Road → Number One The narrator in the TV series Blossoms Shanghai points out: “In 1993, the 755-meter-long Huanghe Road had over 100 restaurants, attracting countless wealthy diners each night.” Starting from Huanghe Road and crossing Nanjing Road to the Bund, you'll pass by many scenic spots often filmed in the series:• Tai Sheng Yuan restaurant This restaurant specializes in Shanghai cuisine.

A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour. Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said. 1．What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk?

Cohen turned from the canvas (画布) to the screen, using computers to find new ways of creating art. In the late 1960s, he created a program named Aaron. It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented it in 1974 at the University of California, Berkeley. Now, with AI filling the headlines, a new exhibition called “Harold Cohen: Aaron” at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art draws attention to Cohen’s pioneering work. The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits: a real-time experience, in which visitors can watch the software produce art. Cohen provided Aaron with all sorts of knowledge: about basic objects, physics, and fundamental techniques of drawing. Aaron uses the given knowledge to follow instructions, complete tasks, and make decisions like human beings- a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs. The Whitney is displaying two versions of Cohen’s software, along with the art that each of them produced before Cohen died. The 2001 version, Aaron KCAT, generates images of figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high, while the 2007 version produces jungle-like scenes. The software will also create art physically, on paper, for the first time since the 1990s. “It is absolutely thrilling,” said Christiane Paul, the museum’s director of digital art, “to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.” 1．What was Aaron born out of? A．Harold’s curiosity. B．Cohen’s imagination. C．The museum’s donation. D．The university’s support. 2．What can visitors do in the “Harold Cohen: Aaron” exhibition? A．See the original version of Aaron. B．Learn about the physical rules in art. C．Observe Aaron creating art on the spot. D．Generate images with the help of Aaron. 3．What makes Aaron different from modern AI art programs? A．Its ability to assign tasks. B．Its use of modern techniques. C．Its capability to make choices. D．Its dependence on existing database. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The masterpieces of digital art. B．The latest technologies in the Whitney. C．Harold Cohen’s impact on generative AI. D．The first demonstration of AI in art world. 16 In today’s world of digital distractions, the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery and making them enjoy it might seem a thankless and impossible challenge. So how can we make art fun and get the kids involved? 1 . Let your children enjoy art on their own terms Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow and methodical, stopping to look at every picture? 2 . Instead, let them decide the pace (节奏) and enjoy art on their own terms. If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If they keep going back to a previous room, no problem at all. 3 While it might sound strange, the particular work of art is simply not important. What really matters is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple quizzes for older children such as, “Who can guess the artist?” or, “Who can identify the period it was made?” Don’t spend too long in the gallery In today’s fast-paced world, where screen time is a fact of life, children’s minds deal in quick impressions rather than in-depth studies. Besides, children naturally have shorter attention spans (长度) than adults. 4 . That can be perfect for avoiding boredom. Engage your kids in conversation about art 5 . Believe me, it does help arouse their interest. Ask questions like “What exhibit did you find most exciting or boring?” and discuss your different impressions of the same works. By taking this approach, art is no longer dull but something alive and relevant to young people. A．Turn art into a game B．No kids don’t like games C．All we need is a fresh approach D．That’s simply not attractive to children E．Talk to children in the language of emotions F．So limit your visit to 45 minutes in a gallery G．As is often the case, children are into new things 二、语法填空 1.阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Silk Roads have long been a symbol of cultural exchange and interaction between East and West.

I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.” The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress.

The park marks the location of Yin Xu, the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty. The museum’s buildings have been given the appearance of ancient structures. That makes them fit in tastefully with the surrounding landscape and provides a suitable setting for the cultural relies it displays. These were all unearthed through archaeological digs at the site itself as far back as the 1920s. Exploration is still ongoing and new archaeological treasures are periodically discovered. The buried relics of Yin Xu form the biggest archaeological site in all of China. Yin Xu once covered an area of about 24 square kilometers and was divided into several different districts, including a palace district, a civil residence district, a workshop district and a tomb district. Many of the cultural relics that were unearthed during archaeological digs such as bronzes, carved jade objects, pottery, lacquerware and oracle bones are now on display at the museum. A four-legged bronze cauldron (大锅) that was discovered at the site in 1939 is perhaps the single most famous relic that was unearthed from Yin Xu. It was at first known as the Simuwu Ding but is now known as the Houmuwu Ding. It is now on display at the National Museum of China in Beijing but you can see a replica (复制品) of it at Yin Ruins Museum. Most people that have heard of Yin Xu across the world, however, connect the site with the discovery of the oracle bones with mysterious ancient inscriptions on them. It is believed that farmers in the area had periodically discovered such bones as far back as the Han Dynasty. 1．What is the purpose of giving the museum’s buildings the appearance of ancient structures? A．To attract more tourists. B．To be in harmony with the surroundings. C．To make the cultural relics look more valuable. D．To provide a suitable setting for archaeological digs. 2．What is the single most famous relic unearthed from Yin Xu? A．A bronze cauldron. B．A carved jade object. C．An ancient pottery.

In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections. Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. It includes a variety of mediums such as animation, 3D modelling, virtual reality and video game design. Digital art is increasingly being used by artists to create unique pieces that are unlike anything else seen before. The debate over whether museums should accept digital art into their collections has been ongoing for some time. On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks. On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks. The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences. In general, while there may still be some debate over whether or not digital art deserves to be accepted into museum collections, it is clear that many museums are beginning to welcome this new form of expression. As more people realize the digital art and its potential as an artistic medium, it will likely become even more popular in years to come. 1．What do we know about the digital art from the first three paragraphs? A．It is warmly welcomed by all museums. B．Its uniqueness leads to its high market value. C．Its creation cannot be separated from digital technology. D．It should be placed in museums according to most people. 2．What does the underlined word “endorse” in paragraph 4mean?

A．Latest digital art, hottest debate B．Should museums accept digital art? C．Digital art: the most popular art form D．How does digital art enter museums? 【答案与解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是数字艺术是一种新兴的艺术形式，它将科技与艺术融为一体，通过数字媒体创作和展示艺术作品。近些年随着数字技术的崛起，关于“博物馆是否应该收藏数字艺术作品” 的话题被大家广泛讨论。 1．细节理解题。 根据第三段“Digital art can be defined as an artwork created using digital technology and tools like computers, tablets and smartphones. (数字艺术可以定义为使用计算机、平板电脑和智能手机等数字技术和工具创作的艺术品。)”可知，数字艺术可以定义为使用计算机、平板电脑和智能手机等数字技术和数字工具创作的艺术品。因此，数字艺术的创作离不开数字技术和数字工具。故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据画线词前后句语境“On one hand, many believe that digital art is not “real” art and does not deserve to be given the same recognition as traditional artworks.(一方面，许多人认为数字艺术不是‘真正的’艺术，不应该得到与传统艺术同样的认可”可知，一方面人们认为数字艺术不是真正的艺术，不应该被认可；同时根据划线词所在的句子“On the other hand, supporters of digital art hold the view that museums should endorse this new form of expression and give it the same respect as any other type of artworks.(另一方面，数字艺术的支持者持这样的观点：博物馆应该endorse这种新的表现形式，并给予它与任何其他类型的艺术品同样的尊重。)”可知，从另一方面来说数字艺术的支持者认为数字艺术应该被认可，被接受。故画线词表示“接受， 欢迎”。D选项“accept(接受，认可)”与划线词为同义词。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The truth is that many museums have already begun to accept digital art into their collections. In fact, some museums have even devoted entire exhibitions to showcasing digital artworks from around the world. This shows that there is a growing appreciation for this type of expression and that it is slowly becoming more accepted by mainstream audiences.(事实上，许多博物馆已经开始接受数字艺术的收藏。事实上，一些博物馆甚至专门举办了整个展览来展示来自世界各地的数字艺术品。这表明人们越来越欣赏这种表达方式，并逐渐被主流观众所接受。)” 可知，许多博物馆已经开始接受数字艺术的收藏，人们越来越欣赏这种表达方式，数字艺术正逐渐被主流观众所接受。也就是说，它正在获得越来越多的认可。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“In recent times, however, digital art has started to gain popularity as an art form. This has raised the question of whether or not museums should accept digital art into their collections.( 然而，近年来，数字艺术作为一种艺术形式开始受到欢迎。这就提出了一个问题，即博物馆是否应该接受数字艺术作为他们的藏品。)” 可知， 本文主要讨论了数字艺术是否应该被博物馆接受为藏品这个问题。B选项“Should museums accept digital art?(博物馆应该接受数字艺术吗？)”概括文章主要内容，符合标题。故选B。 11 Gather together a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets—this is what many youngsters in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. To them, Citywalk means “roaming around the city” on foot. Participants can follow a distinctive urban route, soaking up the atmosphere, exploring old buildings, browsing boutique shops, sipping a cup of coffee, or indulging in authentic (正宗的) local snacks. In China, the Citywalk trend is spreading from first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai to second and third-tier cities, encouraging more participants and event organizers to get involved. Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts (爱好者) to act as tour guides. A young entrepreneur (主办者) based in Changsha exploring new possibilities in the tourism sector launched six Citywalk routes in different cities on her social media account recently, with the aim of providing experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”. Some regions, such as Beijing and Shandong, have included Citywalk in their plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure tours. Shanghai has established Citywalk routes using public bus routes to help day-trippers reach more far-flung districts by public transport and continue on foot. Even though Citywalk is a relatively niche and new phenomenon, industry insiders say that its potential is huge. Zhang Zhi, a tour guide from Beijing said tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides also try to expand their influence online, sharing their experiences in a bid to attract potential customers. Citywalk is offering a positive change to urban travelers as they can better choose the experiences that align with their interests and needs. At the same time, Citywalk represents an opportunity for tour guides and travel service providers to offer a more tailored, professional service to meet with ever-changing market demands.

A more relaxed and leisurely alternative, such as “Citywalk”, is becoming the norm among urban youngsters. Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It can be a special event where people start a journey led by tour guides or simply explore the streets. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. Citywalkers have shared their carefully planned routes on social media platforms. Their posts usually include how long the walk is going to take, and interesting places and restaurants along the way. Some posts are more like a food tour. Nan Xi, who recently moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is ideal for couples and friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-and-a-half-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide narrated the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it were me walking alone, I would simply find the streets artistic, but the tour that day helped me gain a better understanding of how Western culture blends in with the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. Another surprising benefit of the walk was that she has made friends with two of her fellow walkers. Lin Yi, a manager for an online platform for self-guided tours, said Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do, feeling the vibes of a city. People who participate in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other, he said. 1．What is the main difference between military-style travel and Citywalk?

(忘记“特种兵式旅行”吧，在这种旅行中，人们倾向于在最短的时间内游览尽可能多的地方)”和第二段中“Unlike military-style travel, Citywalk is about wandering around a city on foot, feeling the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. (与特种兵式旅行不同，城市漫步是指通过步行在一个城市里漫步，感受那里的氛围，发现一些即使是城市居民以前也可能没有注意到的不寻常的东西)”可知，特种兵式旅行和城市漫步之间的主要区别在于目的不同，前者是为了在最短的时间内游览尽可能多的地方，后者是为了感受城市的氛围，发现细微的不寻常之处。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第五段中Nan Xi所说的第一段话“I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk.

Cohen turned from the canvas (画布) to the screen, using computers to find new ways of creating art. In the late 1960s, he created a program named Aaron. It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented it in 1974 at the University of California, Berkeley. Now, with AI filling the headlines, a new exhibition called “Harold Cohen: Aaron” at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art draws attention to Cohen’s pioneering work. The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits: a real-time experience, in which visitors can watch the software produce art. Cohen provided Aaron with all sorts of knowledge: about basic objects, physics, and fundamental techniques of drawing. Aaron uses the given knowledge to follow instructions, complete tasks, and make decisions like human beings- a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs. The Whitney is displaying two versions of Cohen’s software, along with the art that each of them produced before Cohen died. The 2001 version, Aaron KCAT, generates images of figures and plants and projects them onto a wall more than ten feet high, while the 2007 version produces jungle-like scenes. The software will also create art physically, on paper, for the first time since the 1990s. “It is absolutely thrilling,” said Christiane Paul, the museum’s director of digital art, “to have one of those remarkable treasures of digital art in the collection.” 1．What was Aaron born out of? A．Harold’s curiosity. B．Cohen’s imagination. C．The museum’s donation. D．The university’s support. 2．What can visitors do in the “Harold Cohen: Aaron” exhibition? A．See the original version of Aaron. B．Learn about the physical rules in art. C．Observe Aaron creating art on the spot. D．Generate images with the help of Aaron. 3．What makes Aaron different from modern AI art programs? A．Its ability to assign tasks. B．Its use of modern techniques. C．Its capability to make choices. D．Its dependence on existing database. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．The masterpieces of digital art. B．The latest technologies in the Whitney. C．Harold Cohen’s impact on generative AI. D．The first demonstration of AI in art world. 【答案与解析】本文属于说明文，主要介绍了艺术家Harold Cohen及其开发的AI艺术程序Aaron的历史背景、特点，以及该程序在纽约惠特尼美国艺术博物馆展览的相关信息，向读者传达了关于数字艺术发展史和Harold Cohen贡献的知识。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段“By the late 1960s, painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge. “Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it,” he thought.

It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented it in 1974 at the University of California, Berkeley. (到20世纪60年代末，画家哈Harold Cohen用他的油画代表英国参加了重要的节日，并正在寻求新的挑战。“也许我的工作室外面发生的事情比里面更有趣，”他想。Cohen从画布转向屏幕，利用电脑寻找新的艺术创作方式。在20世纪60年代末，他创建了一个名为Aaron的项目。这是艺术界的第一个人工智能软件，Cohen于1974年在加州大学伯克利分校首次展示了它。)”可知，Aaron的诞生源于Harold的好奇心和寻找新挑战的愿望。故选A。 2．细节理解题。由文章第二段“The Whitney is offering something deeper than most previous Aaron exhibits: a real-time experience, in which visitors can watch the software produce art. (惠特尼博物馆提供了比以往大多数亚伦展览更有深度的东西：实时体验，参观者可以观看软件制作艺术品。)”可知，Harold Cohen: Aaron展览中，游客可以现场观察Aaron创作艺术。故选C。 3．细节理解题。由文章第二段“Aaron uses the given knowledge to follow instructions, complete tasks, and make decisions like human beings- a very different approach from today’s generative AI art programs. (Aaron使用给定的知识来遵循指令，完成任务，并像人类一样做出决定——这与今天的生成式人工智能艺术项目截然不同。)”可知，Aaron的不同之处在于它能像人类一样做出决策。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“By the late 1960s, painter Harold Cohen had represented Britain at important festivals with his oil paintings and was seeking a new challenge. “Maybe there are more interesting things going on outside my studio than inside it,” he thought. Cohen turned from the canvas (画布) to the screen, using computers to find new ways of creating art. In the late 1960s, he created a program named Aaron. It was the first artificial intelligence software in the world of fine art, and Cohen first presented it in 1974 at the University of California, Berkeley. (到20世纪60年代末，画家哈Harold Cohen用他的油画代表英国参加了重要的节日，并正在寻求新的挑战。“也许我的工作室外面发生的事情比里面更有趣，”他想。Cohen从画布转向屏幕，利用电脑寻找新的艺术创作方式。在20世纪60年代末，他创建了一个名为Aaron的项目。这是艺术界的第一个人工智能软件，Cohen于1974年在加州大学伯克利分校首次展示了它。)”可知，整篇文章主要介绍了Harold Cohen创造的世界上第一个应用于美术领域的人工智能软件Aaron，以及它在纽约惠特尼美国艺术博物馆的展览情况，强调了其在艺术领域的开创性影响。选项D“The first demonstration of AI in art world (人工智能在艺术界的首次展示。)”符合题意。故选D。 16 In today’s world of digital distractions, the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery and making them enjoy it might seem a thankless and impossible challenge. So how can we make art fun and get the kids involved? 1 . Let your children enjoy art on their own terms Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow and methodical, stopping to look at every picture? 2 . Instead, let them decide the pace (节奏) and enjoy art on their own terms. If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If they keep going back to a previous room, no problem at all. 3 While it might sound strange, the particular work of art is simply not important. What really matters is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple quizzes for older children such as, “Who can guess the artist?” or, “Who can identify the period it was made?” Don’t spend too long in the gallery In today’s fast-paced world, where screen time is a fact of life, children’s minds deal in quick impressions rather than in-depth studies. Besides, children naturally have shorter attention spans (长度) than adults. 4 . That can be perfect for avoiding boredom. Engage your kids in conversation about art 5 . Believe me, it does help arouse their interest. Ask questions like “What exhibit did you find most exciting or boring?” and discuss your different impressions of the same works. By taking this approach, art is no longer dull but something alive and relevant to young people. A．Turn art into a game B．No kids don’t like games C．All we need is a fresh approach D．That’s simply not attractive to children E．Talk to children in the language of emotions F．So limit your visit to 45 minutes in a gallery G．As is often the case, children are into new things 【答案与解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些让孩子参与艺术的方法。 1．设空处前文提出了一个问题“So how can we make art fun and get the kids involved?(那么，我们如何让艺术变得有趣，并让孩子们参与进来呢？)”可知，本句位于第一段末，起承上启下作用，回答上文的问题，故C项“我们需要的是全新的方法”，既回答了上文的问题，同时也是对下文的整体概括和引入，符合语境，故选择C项。 2．根据后文“Instead, let them decide the pace (节奏) and enjoy art on their own terms. If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If they keep going back to a previous room, no problem at all.(相反，让他们决定节奏，按照自己的方式享受艺术。如果他们想直接去看某个展览，就让他们去吧。如果他们总是回到以前的房间，那就没有问题了)”可知，本段提出要让孩子们以自己喜欢的方式参观艺术展览。设空处前文提到“Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow and methodical, stopping to look at every picture?(谁说在画廊里走动必须缓慢而有条理，每幅画都要停下来看？)”是一些不符合本段大意的做法，D项意为“那一点也不吸引孩子”，代词that指代前文在参观时停下来观赏每一幅作品的做法，作者对该做法进行了否定，进而在后文提出一些可行的方案，由此判定D项符合语境，故选择D项。 3．根据本段内容“While it might sound strange, the particular work of art is simply not important. What really matters is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple quizzes for older children such as, “Who can guess the artist?” or, “Who can identify the period it was made?”(虽然这听起来很奇怪，但特定的艺术作品并不重要。真正重要的是，无论出于何种原因，孩子们都与艺术建立了联系。为了鼓励这一点，你可以将其制作成一款游戏，无论是否有奖励，都可以为大一点的孩子提供简单的测试，如“谁能猜出艺术家是谁？”或者，“谁能确定它是什么时候制作的？”)”可知，本句位于第三段小标题处，是对本段内容的高度概括。通过提炼可知，本段主要建议使用游戏的方法让孩子爱上艺术，A项意为“把艺术变成游戏”，符合语境，故选择A项。 4．设空处前文“Besides, children naturally have shorter attention spans (长度) than adults.(此外，儿童的注意力持续时间自然比成年人短)”提小孩的注意力时长本身较短，后文则解释说“That can be perfect for avoiding boredom.(那样做很完美地防止了无聊)”，根据代词that可以推断此处提出了一个可以针对小孩注意力较短的情况，防止无聊的建议，F项意为“所以要把参观时间限制在45分钟之内”，既与前文构成因果关系，也能与后文代词that对应，符合语境，故选择F项。 5．根据小标题“Engage your kids in conversation about art(让你的孩子参与有关艺术的对话)”可知，本段主要建议要跟孩子一起谈论所看到的艺术作品，后文“Believe me, it does help arouse their interest. Ask questions like “What exhibit did you find most exciting or boring?” and discuss your different impressions of the same works. By taking this approach, art is no longer dull but something alive and relevant to young people.(相信我，这确实有助于引起他们的兴趣。问这样的问题：“你觉得哪个展览最令人兴奋还是最无聊？”并讨论你对同一作品的不同印象。通过这种方式，艺术不再是沉闷的，而是与年轻人息息相关的鲜活事物)”也列举了一些具体的相关做法，E项意为“用带有情感的语言和孩子交谈”，为本段的中心句，符合语境，故选择E项。 二、语法填空 1.阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Silk Roads have long been a symbol of cultural exchange and interaction between East and West.
