Many artists worry that artificial intelligence may interfere with artistic creation.But
Sougwen Chung,a Canadian-Chinese artist,instead sees AI as an opportunity for artists to
embrace uncertainty and challenge people to think about technology and creativity in unexpected
ways.
Chung s art exhibitions are driven by technology.The artwork,she says,emerges not just in
the finishied piece but in all the messy in-betweens."My goal,"she explains,"isn't to replace
traditional methods but to deepen and expand them,allowing art to arise from a genuine meeting
of human and machine perspectives."
Such a meeting took place in January 2025 in Switzerland,where Chung presented
Spectral,a performative art installation featuring painting by robotic arms whose motions are
guided by AI that combines data from earlier works with.real-time input from an
electroencephalogram ()"My alpha state drives the robot's behavior,translating an
internal experience into tangible gestures,"says Chung.
The goal was simple:As the artist drew,the arm copied.Except it didn't work out that way
The arm made unexpected movements,creating sketches that were similar to Chung's-but not
identical.These"mistakes"became part of the creative process."One of the most transformative
lessons I've learned is topoeticize error,'"Chung says."I trust that the failures themselves
can be generative.”
Zihao Zhang,an architect at the City.College-of New York,sees Chung's work as offering a
different story about human-machine interactions."We're still.kind of trapped in this idea of AI
versus human,and which one's better,"he says.AI is often,characterized in.the media as
something that can supplant our workers.He believes works like Chung's challenge the idea of
either-or.
Chung believes that "artificial"intelligence still relies on human data,shaped by human
biases,and it impacts human experiences in turn.She says,"These technologies don't emerge
in a vacuum-there's real human effort.For me,art remains a space to explore and affirm
human agency.”
24.What reflects Chung's art philosophy?
A.Keeping art free from technology.
B.Letting art grow from unpredictability.
C.Aiming for perfectly finished artworks.
D.Relying on conventional craftsmanship.
25.What is Spectral presented as in the text?
A.A tightly controlled art project.
B.A combination of different art forms
C.A painting made without human input.
D.A live artwork taking shape in performance.
26.What does the underlined word "supplant"in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Replace.
B.Discourage.
C.Assist.
D.Satisfy.
27.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce robot-made artworks.
B.To examine concerns about AI in art.
C.To explore an artist's creative use of AI.
D.To promote an exhibition by a rising artist.

Have you ever felt"velvetmist"?It's a"complex and subtle emotion that brings comfort and
a gentle sense of floating."If you haven't,that's not surprising.An online forum user named
Noahjeadie generated it with a chatbot,along with advice on how to create the feeling.
Researchers say more and more terms for these "neo-emotions"are showing up online,
describing new dimensions and aspects of feeling.But most neo-emotions aren't created by
chatbots.Humans come up with them in response to a changing world.
The sociologist Marci Cottingham believes that these coinages help us relate to one another
and make sense.of our.experiences.So even when a neo-emotion is just a subtle variation on,or
combination of,existing feelings,getting super-specific about those feelings helps us reflect and
connect with other people.
These neo-emotions are part of a paradigm()shift in emotion science.For decades,
researchers argued that humans all share a set of a half-dozen'or so basic emotions.But Lisa
Feldman Barrett,a clinical psychologist at Northeastem University,thinks otherwise.By using
tools like advanced brain imaging and studying babies and people from relatively isolated
cultures,she has concluded there's no such thing as a basic emotional palette ()The
way we experience and talk about our feelings is culturally determined."How do you know what
anger and fear are?Because somebody taught you,"Barrett says.
Just like any other tool humans make and use,emotions are a practieal resource people are
using as they navigate the world.Some neo-emotions,like velvetmist,might be mere novelties.
But others,like eco-anxiety,can take on a life of their own and help drive social movements.
Both reading about and crafting your own neo-emotions could be surprisingly helpful.Lots of
research supports the benefits of emotional granularity ()It tums out that people who use
more detailed and specific words to describe their feelings go to the doctor less frequently.And
many studies show this skill can be developed at any age.
Are you sure you've never felt velvetmist?
28.What are neo-emotions?
A.Online terms for emotional disorder.
B.Widely shared basic human emotions.
C.Newly recognized emotional experiences.
D.Complex emotions generated by chatbots
29.Which statement would Barrett probably agree with?
A.Emotional categories are not fixed.
B.Emotions are simpler than once believed.
C.People have inborn emotional knowledge.
D.Culture plays little role in defining emotions
30.In describing feelings,what does emotional granularity mainly involve?
A.More positivity.
B.Higher precision.
C.Greater openness.
D.Better.consistency.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Can Neo-emotions Enrich Cultures?
B.Ignoring Emotions Comes at a Cost.
C.Inventing New.Emotions Eeels Really Good
D.Can Chatbots Understand Human Emotions?

A tiny piece of lab-grown wood could be a big step.towards reducing the number of trees cut
down."As far as we know,our early prototype (is the first piece of interconnected wood-
like tissue ever produced from.cell culture,"says Tom Clement at start-up New Dawn Bio.
What the firm calls "cultured.wood"is a wood-based version of lab-grown meat.The first
piece of material was made using stem cells from Arabidopsis thaliana,a small plant commonly
used in lab studies.The piece,which Clement says is dark brown,is only about an eighth of the
size of a postage stamp.The goal,however,is to use stem cells from various tree species and
produce larger pieces of wood,such as an entire tabletop.
The company aims to produce wood more efficiently with lower environmental impact.
Clement says the approach involves two main stages.First,plant stem cells are put in sugar
water,enabling them to grow fast.Then,they are exposed to chemical or genetic cues to make
them differentiate into fibre cells filled with cellulose-the primary component of plant cell
walls-or vessel cells,which help transport water and minerals through the tissue.Together,
these are the main structural components of wood.Once these cells become strong and bond with
each other,they are combined to form any shape.
Eventually,the researchers aim to replicate (wood from rare species threatened by
illegal logging.Clement says cultured wood could displace harmful logging through relatively
small-scale production.Lab-grown wood will be expensive,but it can still compete with costly
rare wood.
This isn't the first attempt at cultured wood.Researchers previously tried to print wood-like
material,but were never able to produce material with the same mechanical properties as actual
wood,says Fernando Velasquez-Garcia at MIT."The million-dollar question is whether the cells
connect.Are they just sitting together or are they shaking hands?"Clement declined to share
how the cells connect or the mechanical properties of the resulting wood.Without more details,it
is impossible to judge whether the start-up has done so,Ferando says.
32.What do we know about the lab-grown wood produced by New Dawn Bio?
A.It has replaced natural wood products.
B.It is considered an early breakthrough.
C.It is already large enough for tabletops.
D.It comes from a rarely studied lab plant.
33.What is formed in the second stage of making cultured wood?
A.Rare wood tissue.
B.Water and minerals.
C.Fast-growing stem cells.
D:Fibre cells and vessel cells.
34.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The prospects of rare wood products.
B.The growing threat of illegal logging.
C.The potential value of cultured wood
D.The disadvantages of lab-grown wood.
35.Why does Fernando call cell connection "the million-dollar question"?
A.It makes rare tree species even rarer.
B.It affects how much the research costs.
C.It changes the properties of actual wood.
D.It determines how wood-like the material is.

A Piece of Cake
From sharing a tasty snack to allocating (resources between nations,having a
strategy to divide things fairly will make everyone happier.But it gets complicated when things
aren't indistinguishable substances.36 Luckily,maths has some ideas.
When splitting between two parties,you might know a simple and mathematically optimal
(rule:I cut,you choose.Since the person cutting the cake doesn't choose,they are
motivated to cut the cake fairly.Then when the other person chooses,everyone is satisfied.
37 Neither participant can claim they would rather have the other person's share.
38 It is more complicated,but still possible,to produce an envy-free allocation with
several so-called fair-sharing algorithms.
Let's say Alex,Blake and Chris are sharing a cake.Alex cuts the cake into three pieces,
equal in value to him.Then Blake judges if there are at least two pieces he would be happy with.
If Blake says yes,Chris chooses a piece;Blake chooses next,pleased to get one of the two
pieces he liked,followed by Alex,who would be satisfied with any of the pieces.If Blake
doesn't think Alex's split was fair,Chris looks'to see if there are two pieces he would
take.39
If both Blake and Chns reject Alex's initial chop,then there must be at least one piece they
both thought was no good.This piece goes to Alex.40 The remaining two pieces are back
together to create one piece of cake for Blake and Chris to perform the rule "I cut,you
choose'”on.
So whatever is being shared,maths can help prevent arguments
A.What if there are more people?
B.If not,Chris cuts the remaining pieces.
C.They take turns to pick their favorite piece.
D.If yes,Blake picks first,then Chris,then Alex.
E.This results in'what is called an envy-free allocation.
F.He is still happy,because he thought the pieces were all fine.
G.For example,cake pieces with cherries on top seem more desirable.

Adding Chinese Elegance to the Corridor
第二节(满分25分)》
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had been so busy with work that I had little time to spend with my nine-year-old son,
Mike.Last summer,when I finally had a day off,Mike told me the school would be hosting a
cookie auction ()Each student was supposed to bake cookies with their father.
I'd never baked cookies,so we followed the instructions carefully.We opened a packet of
instant cookie mix,added the required ingredients,shaped the dough (into small
rounds,and confidently placed them on a baking tray in the oven.Taking them out after fifteen
minutes,I was surprised that the cookies were not the golden and perfectly shaped ones I'd seen
in ads.In fact,some were unevenly baked,while others had spread too much on the tray.
Mike,however,cherished this opportunity to work with me and was so happy that he didn't
seem to notice the problem.
After letting them cool,we tried decorating the cookies with icing.As a finishing touch,I
sprinkled (a few chocolate chips on top,hoping to add a bit of chocolate flavor to the
cookies that didn't look very appetizing.Mike gave me a proud grin;he thought they looked
good.By then,we were already running late.
When we finally hurried to the auction,I was stunned.A long table was filled.with a
fantastic array of exquisitely designed cookies.In contrast,ours looked embarrassing;some were
misshapen,the icing had melted,and the chocolate chips were scattered everywhere.I felt a
flush coming to my face,but Mike didn't seem to be ashamed of our creation.He solemnly
placed our cookies at the end of the table.I gave Mike eight dollars,telling him to bid (
on the cookies he liked,hoping he would get some nicely made ones to make up for the
embarrassment our cookies might bring him.
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon,the auctioneer lified the first bag of cookies,and the auction began.
Mike handed over the-eight dollars,smiling as if the cookies were treasure.
