一、阅读理解
A
With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory (参与式的) experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park tries to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres (of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.
Whitworth, Manchester
After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露天平台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions.
1.What is special about Royal Academy of Arts?

B.It holds exhibitions in a traditional way.
C.It offers interactive experiences.
D.It displays works by senior artists.
2.What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common?

C.They feature modern works. D.They offer outdoor settings.
3.Where is the text probably taken from?

Almost everyone has been called an imitator before. It’s within human nature to feel inspired by someone’s work. But we’ve also felt annoyed when someone calls our works his own. Many artists are feeling this same annoyance with the recent rise in popularity of Al art generators.
Stable Diffusion, an Al art generator, allows users to type out descriptions of an image and the AI will generate that image.
This is the case of Kelly McKerman, Karla Ortiz and Sarah Anderson, the three artists behind a recent lawsuit (诉讼) against Al art generators. For McKerman, finding out that her art was an inspiration was initially exciting. But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style, with no credit to her. This realization made McKerman angry on behalf of all artists.
A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists. It’s also harmful because Al art generators create art in specific artists’ styles in an instant with no credit to them, even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece. Art generators are not only unfair to current artists, but they are also discouraging to potential future artists. As a person who has considered a career in art, knowing that my work could be used in this way makes me hesitant about pursuing this route. This way of thinking is not uncommon, which should be incredibly worrying.
Whether it be graffiti (涂鸦) to support a movement or a fine art piece about injustice, art is a vehicle for social change. Furthermore, art is entertainment; animated movies could not exist without digital artists. Finally, art contains great cultural and historical relevance.
The fact that art is essential means that it needs to be protected. Al art generators, like Stable Diffusion, are threatening artists’ rights worldwide. Thus, government regulation and clarified protection of artists’ rights to their work is key to tackling this new world of AI generated art.
4.Why have many artists got annoyed recently?
A.They have been caught up in a lawsuit.
B.They have failed to find art inspiration.
C.Al art generators create works of art rapidly.
D.AI art generators allow users to make imitative images.
5.What is McKernan’s attitude toward Al art generators?
A.Uncaring. B.Positive.
C.Disapproving. D.Doubtful.
6.What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A.To stress the value of art.
B.To predict the future of art.
C.To describe how AI art generators work.
D.To explain how Al art generators impact artists.
7.What is the author’s opinion on Al art generators?
A.They should be governed by specific rules.
B.They should be used to aid artists.
C.They should be protected.
D.They should be banned.
C
Most students, despite age or background, truly enjoy participating in art. The attractive aspects of art keep us focused. Using art in the classroom is no different.
Students who participate in art strengthen their focus skills. 8 For visual art (视觉艺术), that problem may be deciding which art tools or materials will create the picture in their minds. For performance art (行为艺术), students may need precise time to remind them. Regardless of the art medium, students must keep up with what is happening in order to successfully complete their work.
Students find art as a way of self-expression and creativity. 9 Students can create whatever they want with their imagination. If they can see it, they can create it. Even the shyest students can express themselves through art.
Increased participation and motivation (动力) means increased determination and perseverance (毅力). When students start an art project, they are more determined to see it completed. Most primary teachers can prove the fact that many students are not happy when their work of art is interrupted (打断) before it has been completed. 10
The development of self-expression and creativity increases student confidence! 11 Students develop a greater sense of self by expressing themselves openly and in their own way. It is also quite rewarding for students to share their art with others and developing their interpersonal skills.
12 Participation in art is highly beneficial to student performance in the classroom. Art requires use of many parts of the brain, thus, providing better overall brain usage in students.
A.There are no limits with art.
B.Art can surely make students smarter.
C.Students colorfully write out the word.
D.There are no right or wrong ways to create art.
E.Students must concentrate on the “problem” at hand.
F.Teachers should combine art with learning more carefully.
G.Students wish to realize their ideas through art without break (停歇;休息).

3.推理判断题。通读全文,并根据第一段“With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.(拥有如此强大的艺术遗产,英国在世界一流的艺术画廊中脱颖而出也就不足为奇了。这些是你需要添加到你的必游列表的画廊)”可知,这段文本很可能摘自一本旅行指南。故选A。

A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists. It’s also harmful because Al art generators create art in specific artists’ styles in an instant with no credit to them, even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece. Art generators are not only unfair to current artists, but they are also discouraging to potential future artists. As a person who has considered a career in art, knowing that my work could be used in this way makes me hesitant about pursuing this route. This way of thinking is not uncommon, which should be incredibly worrying.
Whether it be graffiti (涂鸦) to support a movement or a fine art piece about injustice, art is a vehicle for social change. Furthermore, art is entertainment; animated movies could not exist without digital artists. Finally, art contains great cultural and historical relevance.
The fact that art is essential means that it needs to be protected. Al art generators, like Stable Diffusion, are threatening artists’ rights worldwide. Thus, government regulation and clarified protection of artists’ rights to their work is key to tackling this new world of AI generated art.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能艺术生成器引发艺术家不满的问题,指出其对艺术家的不利影响,强调艺术的重要性,呼吁政府规范并保护艺术家的作品权利。
4.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Many artists are feeling this same annoyance with the recent rise in popularity of AI art generators.(随着最近人工智能艺术生成器的流行,许多艺术家也有同样的烦恼)”和第三段中“For McKerman, finding out that her art was an inspiration was initially exciting. But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style, with no credit to her.(对麦柯曼来说,发现自己的艺术作品能带来灵感,一开始让她很兴奋。但她很快意识到,这个生成器允许任何人以她的风格创作一件原创艺术品,却不提及她的功劳)”可知,许多艺术家最近感到恼火是因为人工智能艺术生成器允许用户制作模仿性的图像。故选D项。
5.推理判断题。根据第三段中“But she soon realized that the generator allowed anyone to create an original piece of art in her style, with no credit to her. This realization made McKerman angry on behalf of all artists.(但她很快意识到,艺术生成器允许任何人按照她的风格创作一件原创艺术品,而没有她的功劳。这一认识让麦柯曼与其他所有艺术家一样,感到愤怒)”可知,人工智能艺术生成器模仿麦柯曼的作品,这让她很生气,说明麦柯曼对其持不认可的态度。故选C项。
6.推理判断题。根据第四段中“A world in which anyone can generate art in an instant creates a lessened need for independent artists. It’s also harmful because AI art generators create art in specific artists’ styles in an instant with no credit to them, even though it may have taken the artists hours to create the original piece. Art generators are not only unfair to current artists, but they are also discouraging to potential future artists.(在一个任何人都能瞬间生成艺术作品的世界里,对独立艺术家的需求就会减少。这也是有害的,因为人工智能艺术生成器可以瞬间以特定艺术家的风格创作艺术作品,却不提及他们的功劳,尽管艺术家可能花了几个小时才创作出原作。艺术生成器不仅对现在的艺术家不公平,而且也会让未来有潜力的艺术家灰心丧气)”可知,段中说明人工智能艺术生成器不仅对现在的艺术家不公平,也会让未来有潜力的艺术家灰心丧气,所以本段的目的是解释了人工智能艺术生成器对艺术家的影响。故选D项。
7.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Thus, government regulation and clarified protection of artists’ rights to their work is key to tackling this new world of AI generated art.(因此,政府的监管以及明确保护艺术家对其作品的权利是应对这个人工智能生成艺术的新世界的关键)”可知,作者认为人工智能艺术生成器应该受到具体法规的监管。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了艺术在课堂教学中的作用,强调了学生参与艺术活动可以提高专注力、自我表达能力和创造力,增加参与度和动力,进而提升学生的自信心和整体智力发展。
8.根据下文“For visual art (视觉艺术), that problem may be deciding which art tools or materials will create the picture in their minds. For performance art (行为艺术), students may need precise time to remind them. (对于视觉艺术而言,那个“问题”可能是决定用哪些艺术工具或材料来创作出他们脑海中的画面。对于行为艺术来说,学生可能需要精准的时间提醒。)”可知,下文提到对于视觉艺术,问题可能是决定用哪种艺术工具或材料来创作脑海中的画面,对于行为艺术,学生可能需要精准的时间提醒等,这都表明学生在进行艺术创作时需要专注于面临的相应“问题”。选项E“Students must concentrate on the “problem” at hand.(学生必须专注于手头的“问题”。)”能很好地承接后文对不同艺术形式中需要关注问题的描述,符合逻辑。故选E。
9.根据下文“Students can create whatever they want with their imagination.(学生可以凭借自己的想象创造出任何他们想要的东西。)”可知,下文说学生可以凭借想象创造任何他们想要的东西,只要能想象到就能创造出来,强调了艺术创作在想象方面没有限制。选项A“There are no limits with art.(艺术没有限制)”与后文内容相呼应,符合文意。故选A。
10.根据上文“When students start an art project, they are more determined to see it completed.

11.上文提到“The development of self-expression and creativity increases student confidence!(自我表达和创造力的发展会增强学生的自信心!)”以及下文的“Students develop a greater sense of self by expressing themselves openly and in their own way.(学生通过以自己的方式公开表达来培养更强的自我意识。)”可知,空前说自我表达和创造力的发展能增强学生的自信,而空后说学生通过以自己的方式公开表达来培养更强的自我意识。选项D“There are no right or wrong ways to create art.(创作艺术没有正确或错误的方式。)”体现了艺术创作的自由性,这种自由有助于学生以自己的方式表达,进而增强自信,符合逻辑,起到承上启下的作用。故选D。
12.根据空后“Participation in art is highly beneficial to student performance in the classroom. Art requires use of many parts of the brain, thus, providing better overall brain usage in students.(参与艺术活动对学生在课堂上的表现大有裨益。艺术需要运用大脑的许多部分,因此,能让学生更好地全面运用大脑。)”可知,下文提到参与艺术对学生在课堂上的表现非常有益,艺术需要运用大脑的许多部分,能让学生更好地整体运用大脑,说明艺术能让学生变得更聪明。选项B“Art can surely make students smarter.(艺术肯定能让学生更聪明。)”能很好地引出后文关于艺术对学生大脑及课堂表现有益的内容,符合文意。故选B。
