B In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a powerful tool in many fields, including cartoon animation (动画). Traditional animation requires teams of artists to draw each frame (帧) by hand, which is time-consuming and expensive. Now, AI technology is making the process faster and more creative. One example is the use of AI to make in-between frames (中间帧). In the past, animators had to draw every small movement between two key frames. Today, AI can create these frames by itself, saving up to 90% of the time. Some studios even use AI to design characters’ facial expressions based on human emotions, making cartoons more lifelike. However, some people worry that AI might replace human artists. Experts say this is unlikely. “AI is a useful tool,” says Li Mei, an animator from Guangzhou. “It helps us spend more time on storytelling and art styles, while repetitive tasks are done by machines.” ▲ In fact, a 2024 survey showed that 78% of animators believed AI had improved their creativity rather than stolen their jobs. Another exciting development is AI-generated voice acting. With deep learning, AI can now use voices of different ages and accents. This technology was used in a recent popular Chinese cartoon. In this cartoon, an AI voice actor played an important role and reduced the production costs. Although AI has a lot of advantages, there are still many things to improve. AI needs more creativity and feelings. As a result, most studios combine AI with human skills to produce high-quality animations. 26. The passage introduces the topic by ________. A. comparing the past and present animation technology B. telling a story about an AI voice actor C. listing all the advantages of AI technology D. giving an example of using AI tools 27. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph-3? A. For example, AI can now even write original scripts for cartoons. B. Besides, AI tools can also provide human artists with new ideas. C. As a result, many studios have fired their animation teams. D. However, AI-generated cartoons are cheaper than human-made ones. 28. What can we know about AI in cartoon animation? A. AI will soon replace human artists and create better cartoon animation. B AI has enough creativity and feelings to work by itself. C. AI makes cartoon animation cheaper but not as good as before. D. AI helps human animators save more time to do more creative work. 29. The word “repetitive” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ________. A. creative B. difficult C. boring and repeated D. interesting 30. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To encourage people to learn AI technology. B. To argue that human artists are unnecessary. C. To introduce how AI is used in cartoon animation. D. To compare different cartoon animations.

Recently, I mastered the skill of baking cookies. I chose this because I wanted to surprise my family with homemade treats. At first, I watched online tutorials and practiced mixing ingredients. However, controlling the oven temperature was challenging, and my early attempts turned out either burnt or undercooked. Feeling frustrated, I almost gave up. But I kept adjusting the timing and asked a friend for advice. Finally, I succeeded in making golden, crispy cookies! Through this journey, I not only gained a delicious hobby but also learned the importance of patience and problem-solving. Now, I feel more confident to tackle other challenges.
