But there's a serious problem:most of these AI pictures are used without the agreement from the artists or proper copyright rules.This has caused problems in law,and artists like Greg are upset. A website that studies AI tools found that Greg's name was used as a keyword nearly 100,000 times in Stable Diffusion.At first,he was shocked.When he searched his name online,he saw many AI-made images labeled"Greg style"-but he didn't create any of them. "It's only been a month,"Greg said worriedly."What will happen in a year?The internet might be full of fake AI art,and I won't even find my real work." Greg isn't alone.Many artists discovered their works were used to train AI models without agreement.Karla,an artist from San Francisco,found her art in Stable Diffusion's training data.She has spoken out strongly about AI and copyright.Artists fear they'll lose income,since people can use AI images to make money without paying for artists. "A group is growing in the art world,"says Karla."We want to find ways to end or mitigate this problem."The group is just starting and may push for new laws or rules. 31.What is the key reason that makes Greg famous recently?

Many great kids'movies have sad parts to make viewers have a strong feeling.Aristotle,a famous ancient Greek thinker,said sad stories help us think deeply about life'o problems.So the sad parts in kids'movies teach children how to deal with pain,understand it,and get over it.One of the hardest things for a child to learn is how to deal with loss,especially sudden loss.The Lion King shows Simba losing his father.Kids see themselves in Simba,but watching his loss is very sad. Why do we love movies that make kids cry?Because these movies teach an important lesson: get through hard times and keep moving forward.Think of The Lion King's famous words -Hakuna Matata!It tells children it's okay to forget sad losses and not let them define()who they are.This is a key lesson for kids.Sadness should be felt,which makes these movies powerful. Movies like Dumbo and Charlotte's Web make kids feel sad,but they also teach children to accept sadness So,what is the main point of kids'movies with sad parts?They want to teach viewers, especially kids,how to become strong and free from pain.They help children deal with sad feelings in real life,or at least feel better by remembering Hakuna Matata. 36 Why do people cry after watching some films? A.Because they feel too sad seeing a film B.Because the films are full of hard truths C.Because the films are always about animals. D.Because they watch movies for the first time. 37.Why does the writer mention Aristotle? A.To say old ideas are not useful today B.To compare ancient and modern art styles. C.To show that Greek thinkers made movies D.To explain why sad stories are good for children. 38.What does the writer think is the value of The Lion King? A.It shows that sadness should be avoided. B.It helps kids forget all their family problems. C.It makes children cry more than other movies. D.It teaches kids to get through hard times and move on. 39.What does the writer think of sadness? A.Sadness is only useful in famous movies B.Sadness should not be found in children's lives. C.Sadness is a feeling children should feel and accept. D.Sadness in movies is more important than happiness. 40.What's the best title for the passage?

Recently,the Board of Education(教育局)has made a new rule: students will not be allowed to use cellphones in L.A.public schools starting in February 2026.This decision is made to change the students'behavior.School leaders believe the rule will cut down on classroom distractions (that stop students from learning,help reduce dependence on social media,and encourage direct communication between students and teachers.The move is especially important because,during online classes over the past few years, many students depended heavily on their phones. Not everyone agrees with the new rule at first.When 14-year-old William from Van School heard about it,he questioned the decision."I don't see how it will work or if it's fair,"he said.But later,he realized he might use his phone too much-like checking repeatedly how many likes a recent post got.On the other hand,15-year-old Angelica from Downtown Junior School supports the new rule.She uses her phone to stay in touch with family,but she also sees problems:students often compare clothes,weight,and "likes"to see who has better things.Now,children are more willing to play sports or read books during their free time without phones. Overall,the new rule has started an important conversation.Many students now recognize both the good and bad sides of phone use at school-and some are beginning to think more carefully about their own habits. 4 What does William do most often with his phone? A.Make phone calls to his friends.B.Send texts and use social media. C.Watch videos during class time.D.Take photos for school projects. 42.Why are school leaders stopping the students from using cellphones? To stop students from using phones at home. B.To reduce distractions and social media use. C.To make students to take more online classes. D.fo punish students who post too much online. 43.How did William feel when he first heard about the decision from the Board of Education? A.He was excited and supportive.B.He thought it hard to understand. C.He agreed with the rule at once.D.He didn't care about the decision 44.What problem does Angelica notice about phone use? A.Students spend too much money on phones. B.Teachers use phones more than students do. C.Students compare themselves through likes and looks. D.Phones break too easily during doing school activities. 45.How is the passage organized? 1 The school's new cellphone rule. 2 Good things about the new rule. (3)Students'phone habits before the rule.4 Different ideas from the students A.③→①→④→② B.①→②→③→④ C.③→①→②→④ D.①→③→②→④ 第6页 第Ⅱ卷非选择题(55分) 四、任务型阅读阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当 的单词，每个空格只填1个单词。（共10小题：每小题1.5分，共15分） Pang Zhongwang,was given the 2025 Student of the Year Award on the evening of December 31,2025.His story is powerful,touching the hearts of many young people across China.
