Phiri's father died when he was starting primary school.Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather.His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school，he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees.Yet even in school，he was always drawing and making things in class. After graduating，he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists.His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie，director of Project Luangwa，a non­profit organization dedicated to education and economic development in Central Africa. “I introduced him to a local welder (焊工)，” Beattie told Newsweek. In 2017，Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season，helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa.The piece sparked an idea in Beattie's mind：“I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said，‘Make something with this.’ And he did.It was wonderful.” Today，Phiri continues his art，using pieces of junk people bring him—keys，broken bike chains，old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around.He then turns the junk into abstract animals—elephants，cranes，giraffes，chameleons—and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters.The community has recognized his talents. “My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it，” Phiri said，“and then to make very large sculptures.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了非洲赞比亚的废品艺术之王Frederick Phiri的人生事迹，激励读者为了自己的梦想而努力。 1．What is Phiri known for?

Details of her life are unclear，but she was born in New York City in the 1920s to European parents.Maier grew up in France before returning to the U.S.，where she spent several decades working as a nanny in Chicago to wealthy families.During her days off Maier is thought to have taken more than 100，000 photographs of people and city scenes in Chicago，yet she kept the photos to herself—many of them were never developed. In 2007，a Chicago historian and collector，John Maloof，came across Maier's work by accident after purchasing a box of tens of thousands of undeveloped negatives for $380 at auction (拍卖).As he developed them，Maloof realized they were more than just photos.He was looking at evocative (唤起回忆的) art illustrating the Chicago of the mid­20­century that nobody had ever seen.Maloof worked to uncover who the photographer was，acquiring more and more of her work.But before he could locate her，Maier had already passed away in 2009，having slipped on ice and never recovering from her head injury. While Maloof researched Maier's work，more details emerged.She kept to herself，her employers said，and she would spend her free days taking photos on the streets of Chicago with a Rolleiflex camera.According to Maloof，the children Maier took care of knew she was constantly taking photos，yet she never showed her photos to anyone.Maier also traveled around the world，as is indicated by some of her photos. Other collectors began to acquire Maier's photos，but Maloof owns much of her work.He released a book，Vivian Maier：Street Photographer，in 2011，and his documentary，Finding Vivian Maier，came out in 2013. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了薇薇安·迈尔拍摄了十万多张照片，这些照片展示了二十世纪中期芝加哥的样子，具有艺术价值和历史价值。 5．Which word can be used to describe Vivian's life?

I suggest that parents expand their definition of art.If you are a baker or a cook，or if you like to arrange flowers，you are an artist.These expressions of creativity are as valuable as those of painters and the other people we call artists.If you are a scientist and enjoy inventing and experimenting，you may include yourself in the definition of “artist”． Art is a delightful way through which you can record the development of your child's growth.Just as you will notice that writing and reading improve with age，so does artwork.The role of parents and teachers is to expose children to a variety of materials so that they can create art.Once the variety is offered，children will then have a choice as to whether they want to use the materials or not. Creating art is a fine way for children to make choices and solve problems.Every step involves making a decision：what color to use，how to make a line，what size to make something.With every choice，the object becomes more and more their own. Everyone has an imagination.Art takes it a step further.Through art，children create something that，until that point，was only imagined.Thus，they create visual presentation of abstract ideas. Children who may be having difficulties in other parts of the school curriculum may find an expressive outlet through art.It's a way to uncover talent that may not be seen otherwise.Art is a means of communicating ideas，feelings，and solutions in a way other than verbally or written. Families can create a harmonious balance in their children's lives when they make plans for the arts.Be there to appreciate and encourage them during every step of the creative process. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术对于孩子的重要性。 9．What has the author found through his teaching career?

B．Help them make their decisions. C．Inspire their imaginative ability. D．Expose them to various materials. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，父母让孩子们接触各种材料，才能发展孩子们的艺术。故选D。 12．What does the text mainly talk about? A．Advice on kids' colorful life. B．The importance of arts to kids.

Ai­Da produces portraits of sitting subjects using a robotic hand attached to her lifelike figure.She's also able to talk，giving detailed answers to questions about her artistic process and attitudes towards technology.She even gave a TEDx talk titled “The Intersection of Art and AI” in Oxford several years ago.Ai­Da's creators have also been experimenting with having her write and perform her own poetry. But how are we to interpret Ai­Da's output? Should we consider her paintings and poetry original and creative? Are these works actually art? What discussions about AI and creativity often overlook is the fact that creativity isn't an absolute quality that can be defined，measured and reproduced objectively.When we describe an object—for instance，a child's drawing—as being creative，we project our own assumptions about culture onto it.Indeed，art never exists in isolation.It always needs someone to give it “art” status.And the criteria for whether you think something is art are formed by both your expectations and broader cultural conceptions. If we extend this line of thinking to AI，it follows that no AI application or robot can objectively be “creative”．It is always we—humans—that decide whether works created by AI are art. Some may see robot­produced paintings as something coming from creative computers，while others may be skeptical，given the fact that robots act on clear human instructions.In any case，attribution (归属)of creativity never depends on technical arrangement alone—no computer is objectively creative.Rather，the attribution of computational creativity is largely inspired by contexts of reception.Through particular social information，some people are inspired to think of AI output as art，systems as artists，and computers as creators.Therefore，as with any piece of art，your appreciation of AI output ultimately depends on your own interpretation. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要通过描写Ai­Da机器人创作的作品引出本文的话题——机器人创作的作品真的是艺术吗，进而进行讨论。作者的观点是与任何艺术作品一样，对AI输出的欣赏最终取决于自己的解读。 13．What can we learn about Ai­Da? A．She has a complex many­sided personality. B．She beat others in the debate on art and AI. C．She is capable of drawing high­quality portraits. D．She can write poems without being programmed. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“Ai­Da sits...the work of a human artist.”可推知，Ai­Da能够画出高质量的肖像画。故选C。 14．What fact do discussions about AI and creativity often ignore? A．That art is content­based. B．That art can take many forms. C．That creativity is closely related to cultures. D．That creativity is often measured subjectively. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“What discussions...and reproduced objectively.”可知，创造力通常是主观衡量的。故选D。 15．What idea does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A．Every coin has two sides. B．Great minds think alike. C．Four eyes see more than two. D．Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“In any case...on your own interpretation.”可推知，作者的观点是对AI输出的欣赏，主要是依靠自己的理解。D选项“情人眼里出西施”符合这一观点，故选D。 16．What would be the best title for the text? A．Is AI­created Art Really Art? B．Will People Accept AI Artists? C．Can We Use AI to Create Portraits? D．Do We Need to Improve AI's Creativity? 答案：A 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要通过描写Ai­Da机器人创作的作品引出本文的话题——机器人创作的作品真的是艺术吗，进而进行讨论。故A选项符合本文主旨，适合作标题，故选A。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2024·福建省厦门一中高二期末) Oscar Wilde once said，“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.Give him a mask，and he will tell you the truth.” Art provides a way to communicate experiences when people lack verbal skills.__1__Art therapy is founded on the assumption that everyone is creative and capable of self­expression. __2__ As a restorative practice，it allows people to express themselves in non­verbal ways，such as drawing and painting.Even a 45­minute creative activity can change a person's mental state.Working with an art therapist does even more：__3__ Young children typically draw and sing and dance without worrying about their abilities.Adults，however，often have complex feelings about art and art making.They begin to evaluate the quality of their art instead of focusing on self­expression itself.__4__ However，art therapists can guide people in expressing themselves without concerning whether their artwork is technically brilliant，so that they can connect or reconnect with the artworks that help them deal with life challenges. What are art therapists' superpower? They can channel dangerous thoughts into imaginative artworks.For instance，people with violent tendencies might let out their anger by hitting another human being.__5__ These artistic choices satisfy the brain's desire for novelty without compromising personal safety. A．Art therapy is a double­edged sword. B．Thus，the many benefits of creative self­expression are lost. C．They develop art as an expressive skill for solving problems. D．But，obviously，releasing their anger in this way isn't a good choice. E．Art therapy，in its own ways，can influence a range of human functioning. F．It can significantly enhance positive moods and boost measures of well­being. G．However，with art therapists' help，their energy could be changed into creative products. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艺术疗法的概念以及其作用。 1．答案：C 解析：根据上文“Oscar Wilde once said...when people lack verbal skills.”以及下文中“Art therapy...and capable of self­expression.”可知，上文提到人们把艺术当作一种交流经验的方式，下文则提到艺术疗法建立在自我表达能力的假设上，故本句是在说明人们将艺术发展成了一种表达技巧。C选项中expressive对应下文self­expression。C选项最符合语境，故选C。 2．答案：E 解析：根据下文“As a restorative practice...a person's mental state.”可知，下文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态，即艺术可以影响人的功能。E选项最符合语境，故选E。 3．答案：F 解析：根据上文“Even a 45­minute creative activity...an art therapist does even more”可知，上文提到创造性活动可以改变人的精神状态，且与艺术治疗师合作效果更好，故本句是在说明艺术还能如何影响人的精神状态。F选项最符合语境，故选F。 4．答案：B 解析：根据上文“Young children...focusing on self­expression itself.”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出成年人更关注自己的艺术质量的结果：创造性自我表达的许多好处就失去了。B选项最符合语境，故选B。 5．答案：G 解析：根据上文“What are art therapists' superpower...by hitting another human being.”以及下文“These artistic choices...without compromising personal safety.”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出有暴力倾向的人是如何通过艺术治疗师的帮助，将精力转化成艺术且不伤害别人的。G选项最符合语境，故选G。 学生用书第8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
