Young Artists Exhibition Coming to Katonah Museum of Art
Dates:
May 3-May 24, 2026
Location:
Katonah Museum of Art, New York
Detail:
The exhibition shows artworks created by high school students from over 40 schools in the area. Nearly 400 senior students will take part in this event. Their works include paintings, figures, digital art, and mixed-media pieces. The exhibition offers a rich mix of styles and ideas, giving visitors a chance to see the world through young artists’ eyes.
What makes this exhibition different is that students do more than just create art. They also help organize, publicize, and install (安装) the exhibition themselves. Working with museum professionals, students take on real-world roles such as curators (馆长)and exhibition designers. They learn how to select pieces, design gallery spaces, and promote the show to the public. This hands-on experience is rare for high school students.
“We want to provide hands-on museum experiences for young artists,” said the staff of the museum. By the end of the program, students gain practical skills beyond making art-they learn how to bring art to the world.
This is the 43rd year of the exhibition. It is part of the museum’s long-standing effort to support young artists and give them a platform to share their voices. For visitors, it is a great chance to see fresh, bold, and creative works from the next generation.
The museum’s opening times:
Wednesday-Friday, 12 pm-5 pm; Saturday, 10 am-5 pm; Sunday, 12 pm-5 pm. The museum is closed on Monday, Tuesday and some festivals. You can visit our website for detailed information.
Admission:
$ 15 for adults, $ 9 for students, $6 for children aged between 2 and 12, and free for children under 2.
21. Which is a special feature of this exhibition?
A. Beautiful paintings are shown. B. Professionals help create the works.
C. Students assist to run the exhibition. D. It is held in a museum and high schools.
22. What does the museum mainly want to do through the event?
A. Support high schools in youth education.
B. Discover talented high school art students.
C. Raise public awareness of modern art styles.
D. Offer students real experience in presenting art.
23. How much will a mother with a kid aged two pay for the admission?
A. $30. B. $24. C. $21. D. $15.

When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow, a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post. Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.
“This is the most snow I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life,” said Kirk, describing the intensity of the storm. At one point, conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building. “There was a solid hour that I really couldn’t help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow.”
But as soon as he was able to get outside, Kirk got to work. He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow, including quail, prairie dogs, and skunks (臭鼬). “I was able to dig them out. Our skunks were completely snowed in,” he said. Despite the serious situation, there was even a moment of humor. “It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.’”
Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.
For Kirk, staying through the storm wasn’t a question-it was part of the job. “A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”
24. Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo?
A. To wait for the rescue team. B. To ensure the safety of the animals.
C. To repair the damaged staff building. D. To study the behavior of the animals.
25. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Frightening. D. Embarrassing.
26. What kind of picture does paragraph 4 describe?
A. Animals’ fear and Kirk’s worry.
B. Kirk’s efforts and animals’ reaction.
C. Kirk’s loneliness and animals’ anger.
D. The storm’s damage and animals’ suffering.
27. What do Kirk’s words in the last paragraph highlight?
A. Harmony. B. Confidence. C. Reputation. D. Responsibility.

Beavers (海狸) may play an unexpected role in tackling climate change by transforming rivers into effective carbon dioxide (CO2) sinks, according to a new international study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham (UB). The study is the first to measure the CO2 released or captured (捕获) as a result of beavers’ activities in wetland environments. Researchers conducted the work in a stream corridor in northern Switzerland, where beavers have been active for more than a decade.
The results show that wetlands shaped by beavers can store carbon at rates up to ten times higher than similar areas without their presence. Over 13 years, the site collected and stored about 1,194 tons of carbon, which equals 10.1 tons of CO2 per hectare each year.
Dr Joshua Larsen, the lead author of the study, said, “Our findings show that beavers don’t just change landscapes — they fundamentally shift how CO2 moves through them. By slowing water, trapping sediments (沉淀物), and expanding wetlands, they turn streams into powerful carbon sinks. This first-of-its-kind study represents an important opportunity and breakthrough for future nature-based climate solutions across
Europe.”
Beavers are returning to rivers and natural habitats across Europe after years of conservation efforts. This comeback is revealing how strongly they influence carbon movement, especially in headwater streams, which are the small upper sections where rivers begin. As beavers build dams, they flood nearby land, form wetlands, redirect groundwater flow, and capture both organic and inorganic materials, including CO2. Because of these changes, the way carbon is stored and circulated in these ecosystems is greatly changed.
The findings suggest that expanding beaver populations in suitable wetland regions could provide substantial climate benefits by increasing the amount of carbon captured and stored, while limiting its release back into the atmosphere.
28. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 suggest about beavers?
A. They store 10.1 tons of CO2 per year.
B. They help wetlands store more carbon.
C. They release carbon into the atmosphere.
D. They’ve lived in Switzerland for 13 years.
29. What would Dr Joshua Larsen most probably agree with?
A. Beavers offer a solution to climate problems.
B. Beavers reduce human emissions of carbon.
C. Beavers mainly store up carbon in their dams.
D. Beavers have solved Europe’s climate problem.
30. What is a result of beavers’ building dams?
A. Groundwater shifts direction. B. The river flow speed increases.
C. The upper rivers become drier. D. Organic materials are removed.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Beavers Timely Return to Europe.
B. A New Method of CO2 Measurement.
C. Great Urgency of Wetland Conservation.
D. Beavers Act as Unexpected Climate Helpers.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a tool that replaces human labor. However, a new study from Swansea University offers a different view. It suggests that AI can act as a creative partner, encouraging exploration and inspiration.
Researchers carried out one of the largest studies on how people work with AI during creative tasks. More than 800 participants joined an online experiment. They used an AI system to design virtual cars. Instead of simply finding the best design quickly, the system used a method called MAP-Elites. It created visual galleries filled with many different design possibilities. These galleries showed a wide range of car concepts, including highly effective designs, unusual ideas, and even some intentionally poor ones.
Dr Walton, the lead author of the study, explained, “People often think AI speeds up tasks or improves efficiency, but our findings show something more interesting. When people were shown AI-generated design suggestions, they spent more time on the task, produced better designs, and felt more involved. It was not just about efficiency. It was about creativity and cooperation.”
The study also points out a problem with how AI design tools are usually assessed. Standard measurements often focus on simple behaviors, such as how often users click on or copy AI suggestions. According to the researchers, these measures miss important aspects of the experience, such as how AI influences people’s thoughts, emotions, and willingness to explore new ideas.
Dr Walton emphasized that variety in AI-generated output played a key role. “Participants responded most positively to galleries that included a wide variety of ideas, including bad ones. These helped them move beyond their first thoughts and explore a wider range of designs. This structured diversity prevented early fixation and encouraged creative risk-taking.”
As AI become more common in home in creative fields, from engineering to music and game design, understanding how humans and AI work together is essential. The question is not only what AI can do, but how it can help us think, create, and collaborate more effectively.
32. What do the findings of the study mainly disapprove of AI?
A. It pushes users to try new ideas.
B. It takes over jobs done by people.
C. It supports deeper involvement in tasks.
D. It serves as an inspiring creative partner.
33. How did the AI system in the experiment differ from conventional ones?
A. It was used to improve work speed. B. It optimized designs automatically.
C. It presented diverse visual options. D. It was designed to reduce human effort.
34. What is the major limitation of current AI assessment methods?
A. They ignore AI’s mental impact. B. They miss the process of creation.
C. They fail to track users’ behaviors. D. They focus on the quality of a task.
35. What is Dr Walton’s attitude towards AI in creative tasks?
A. Doubtful. B. Fearful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.

67. 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。
Born to Nigerian parents and holding dual US-Nigerian citizenship, I always felt a deep care for others. As a little girl, I often visited Nigeria, and those trips stayed in my heart. One cold night during a visit, the power went out — as it often did. The only light came from a weak kerosene lamp (煤油灯). I sat on the floor trying to finish my homework, but the smoke made me cough. My mother covered me with a blanket and told me to sleep, because there was no oil left. In the dark, when I listened to the wind, a small thought crossed my mind: There must be a better way to bring light to people without reliable electricity.
Years later, as a high school student, I still remembered those dark nights in Nigeria. When I went back for a family wedding, the power went out again. People used diesel generators (柴油发电机), but they were loud and gave off bad smoke. Watching children play soccer outside, I noticed that many of them later had to study by dim kerosene lamps, just like I once did. A strong desire to help filled my heart. Suddenly, an idea struck me; What if their play could create light? That was the moment when a soccer ball that stores energy was born.
At that time, I knew nothing about engineering. I was just a high school student with a kind heart and a firm dream. But I didn’t let that stop me. I read books on energy, watched online lectures, and asked my science teachers for help. I also invited my classmate Julia to join me. Together, we faced many challenges: The ball was too heavy, or it didn’t store enough energy. Sometimes we wanted to give up. But every time I thought of the children studying in the dark, I found the courage to keep going.

Young Artists Exhibition Coming to Katonah Museum of Art
Dates:
May 3-May 24, 2026
Location:
Katonah Museum of Art, New York
Detail:
The exhibition shows artworks created by high school students from over 40 schools in the area. Nearly 400 senior students will take part in this event. Their works include paintings, figures, digital art, and mixed-media pieces. The exhibition offers a rich mix of styles and ideas, giving visitors a chance to see the world through young artists’ eyes.
What makes this exhibition different is that students do more than just create art. They also help organize, publicize, and install (安装) the exhibition themselves. Working with museum professionals, students take on real-world roles such as curators (馆长)and exhibition designers. They learn how to select pieces, design gallery spaces, and promote the show to the public. This hands-on experience is rare for high school students.
“We want to provide hands-on museum experiences for young artists,” said the staff of the museum. By the end of the program, students gain practical skills beyond making art-they learn how to bring art to the world.
This is the 43rd year of the exhibition. It is part of the museum’s long-standing effort to support young artists and give them a platform to share their voices. For visitors, it is a great chance to see fresh, bold, and creative works from the next generation.
The museum’s opening times:
Wednesday-Friday, 12 pm-5 pm; Saturday, 10 am-5 pm; Sunday, 12 pm-5 pm. The museum is closed on Monday, Tuesday and some festivals. You can visit our website for detailed information.
Admission:
$ 15 for adults, $ 9 for students, $6 for children aged between 2 and 12, and free for children under 2.
21. Which is a special feature of this exhibition?
A. Beautiful paintings are shown. B. Professionals help create the works.
C. Students assist to run the exhibition. D. It is held in a museum and high schools.
22. What does the museum mainly want to do through the event?
A. Support high schools in youth education.

When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow, a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post. Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.
“This is the most snow I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life,” said Kirk, describing the intensity of the storm. At one point, conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building. “There was a solid hour that I really couldn’t help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow.”
But as soon as he was able to get outside, Kirk got to work. He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow, including quail, prairie dogs, and skunks (臭鼬). “I was able to dig them out. Our skunks were completely snowed in,” he said. Despite the serious situation, there was even a moment of humor. “It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.’”
Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.
For Kirk, staying through the storm wasn’t a question-it was part of the job. “A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”
24. Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo?
A. To wait for the rescue team. B. To ensure the safety of the animals.
C. To repair the damaged staff building. D. To study the behavior of the animals.
25. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Frightening. D. Embarrassing.
26. What kind of picture does paragraph 4 describe?
A. Animals’ fear and Kirk’s worry.
B. Kirk’s efforts and animals’ reaction.
C. Kirk’s loneliness and animals’ anger.
D. The storm’s damage and animals’ suffering.
27. What do Kirk’s words in the last paragraph highlight?
A. Harmony. B. Confidence. C. Reputation. D. Responsibility.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述暴风雪席卷野生动物园时,动物园管理员Kyle Kirk坚守岗位,连续三夜驻守园区,清理积雪、开辟通道、照料各类动物,同时展现部分动物面对风雪的不同状态,凸显主人公强烈的职业责任感。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.(威斯康星州马什菲尔德动物园管理员Kyle Kirk在园区连续留宿三晚,确保极端天气下所有二十七种动物都安全、得到照料)”可知,他留在动物园是为了保障动物的安全。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.(这真是hilarious,因为我觉得我们的臭鼬以为是我把雪给弄到这儿来了。它们愤怒地跺着脚,仿佛在说:“哦,现在你可以把雪拿走了。”)”可知,这是一种有趣的画面,进而推测hilarious意为“好笑的、有趣的”。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.(Kirk在围栏之间开辟了通道,以便像豪猪和臭鼬这样的动物能够重新活动起来,他还确保那些已经脱去冬季皮毛的狐狸有足够的温暖来应对突如其来的严寒。与此同时,动物园里的一些体型较大的动物则从容地应对了这场风暴。科迪亚克熊舒适地在周围徘徊,而猞猁在厚厚的积雪中也显得十分自在。)”可知,本段描述Kirk为动物开辟围场通道、照料换毛的狐狸,同时描写科迪亚克熊、猞猁等大型动物安然适应大雪的状态,整段内容一方面体现Kirk的救助努力,另一方面展现动物的不同反应。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”(他说:“很多人都可以请病假或被雪困住,但简单地说,我不能。”。“如果我们不以最好的方式照顾它们,就没有理由养这些动物。”)”能看出这番话凸显了他的责任感。
C
Beavers (海狸) may play an unexpected role in tackling climate change by transforming rivers into effective carbon dioxide (CO2) sinks, according to a new international study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham (UB). The study is the first to measure the CO2 released or captured (捕获) as a result of beavers’ activities in wetland environments. Researchers conducted the work in a stream corridor in northern Switzerland, where beavers have been active for more than a decade.
The results show that wetlands shaped by beavers can store carbon at rates up to ten times higher than similar areas without their presence. Over 13 years, the site collected and stored about 1,194 tons of carbon, which equals 10.1 tons of CO2 per hectare each year.
Dr Joshua Larsen, the lead author of the study, said, “Our findings show that beavers don’t just change landscapes — they fundamentally shift how CO2 moves through them. By slowing water, trapping sediments (沉淀物), and expanding wetlands, they turn streams into powerful carbon sinks. This first-of-its-kind study represents an important opportunity and breakthrough for future nature-based climate solutions across
Europe.”
Beavers are returning to rivers and natural habitats across Europe after years of conservation efforts. This comeback is revealing how strongly they influence carbon movement, especially in headwater streams, which are the small upper sections where rivers begin. As beavers build dams, they flood nearby land, form wetlands, redirect groundwater flow, and capture both organic and inorganic materials, including CO2. Because of these changes, the way carbon is stored and circulated in these ecosystems is greatly changed.
The findings suggest that expanding beaver populations in suitable wetland regions could provide substantial climate benefits by increasing the amount of carbon captured and stored, while limiting its release back into the atmosphere.
28. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 suggest about beavers?
A. They store 10.1 tons of CO2 per year.
B. They help wetlands store more carbon.
C. They release carbon into the atmosphere.
D. They’ve lived in Switzerland for 13 years.
29. What would Dr Joshua Larsen most probably agree with?
A. Beavers offer a solution to climate problems.
B. Beavers reduce human emissions of carbon.
C. Beavers mainly store up carbon in their dams.
D. Beavers have solved Europe’s climate problem.
30. What is a result of beavers’ building dams?
A. Groundwater shifts direction. B. The river flow speed increases.
C. The upper rivers become drier. D. Organic materials are removed.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Beavers Timely Return to Europe.
B. A New Method of CO2 Measurement.
C. Great Urgency of Wetland Conservation.
D. Beavers Act as Unexpected Climate Helpers.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了海狸通过改造湿地成为应对气候变化的意外助力者。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The results show that wetlands shaped by beavers can store carbon at rates up to ten times higher than similar areas without their presence.(结果显示,由海狸塑造的湿地储存碳的速率比没有海狸存在的类似地区高出十倍)”可知,第二段中的数据表明海狸有助于湿地储存更多的碳。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Our findings show that beavers don’t just change landscapes — they fundamentally shift how CO2 moves through them. By slowing water, trapping sediments (沉淀物), and expanding wetlands, they turn streams into powerful carbon sinks.(我们的研究结果表明,海狸不仅改变了景观,还从根本上改变了二氧化碳在其中的流动方式。通过减缓水流、截留沉积物和扩大湿地,它们将溪流变成了强大的碳汇)”可推知,Dr Joshua Larsen最可能同意海狸为气候问题提供了解决方案。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“As beavers build dams, they flood nearby land, form wetlands, redirect groundwater flow, and capture both organic and inorganic materials, including CO2.(当海狸筑坝时,它们会淹没附近的土地,形成湿地,改变地下水的流向,并捕获包括二氧化碳在内的有机和无机物质)”可知,海狸筑坝的结果是地下水改变了方向。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了海狸通过改造湿地成为应对气候变化的意外助力者,选项D“海狸成为意想不到的气候助力者”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为标题。

Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a tool that replaces human labor. However, a new study from Swansea University offers a different view. It suggests that AI can act as a creative partner, encouraging exploration and inspiration.
Researchers carried out one of the largest studies on how people work with AI during creative tasks. More than 800 participants joined an online experiment. They used an AI system to design virtual cars. Instead of simply finding the best design quickly, the system used a method called MAP-Elites. It created visual galleries filled with many different design possibilities. These galleries showed a wide range of car concepts, including highly effective designs, unusual ideas, and even some intentionally poor ones.
Dr Walton, the lead author of the study, explained, “People often think AI speeds up tasks or improves efficiency, but our findings show something more interesting. When people were shown AI-generated design suggestions, they spent more time on the task, produced better designs, and felt more involved. It was not just about efficiency. It was about creativity and cooperation.”
The study also points out a problem with how AI design tools are usually assessed. Standard measurements often focus on simple behaviors, such as how often users click on or copy AI suggestions. According to the researchers, these measures miss important aspects of the experience, such as how AI influences people’s thoughts, emotions, and willingness to explore new ideas.
Dr Walton emphasized that variety in AI-generated output played a key role. “Participants responded most positively to galleries that included a wide variety of ideas, including bad ones. These helped them move beyond their first thoughts and explore a wider range of designs. This structured diversity prevented early fixation and encouraged creative risk-taking.”
As AI become more common in home in creative fields, from engineering to music and game design, understanding how humans and AI work together is essential. The question is not only what AI can do, but how it can help us think, create, and collaborate more effectively.
32. What do the findings of the study mainly disapprove of AI?
A. It pushes users to try new ideas.
B. It takes over jobs done by people.
C. It supports deeper involvement in tasks.
D. It serves as an inspiring creative partner.
33. How did the AI system in the experiment differ from conventional ones?
A. It was used to improve work speed. B. It optimized designs automatically.
C. It presented diverse visual options. D. It was designed to reduce human effort.
34. What is the major limitation of current AI assessment methods?
A. They ignore AI’s mental impact. B. They miss the process of creation.
C. They fail to track users’ behaviors. D. They focus on the quality of a task.
35. What is Dr Walton’s attitude towards AI in creative tasks?

【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍的是关于人工智能在创意任务中作用的研究表明,人工智能可作为创意伙伴。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a tool that replaces human labor. However, a new study from Swansea University offers a different view. It suggests that AI can act as a creative partner, encouraging exploration and inspiration.(人工智能(AI)常被视作替代人类劳动的工具。然而,英国斯旺西大学的一项新研究提出了不同观点:研究认为人工智能可以充当创意合作伙伴,激发人们的探索欲与创作灵感。)”可知,该研究不同意人工智能是替代人力的工具这一常见观点。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead of simply finding the best design quickly, the system used a method called MAP-Elites. It created visual galleries filled with many different design possibilities.(与其只是快速找出最优设计,这套系统采用了一种名为MAP-Elites的算法。它生成了可视化图库,里面包含各式各样的设计方案。)”可知,实验中的人工智能系统能够呈现多样的视觉选择而传统系统无法做到。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“According to the researchers, these measures miss important aspects of the experience, such as how AI influences people’s thoughts, emotions, and willingness to explore new ideas.(据研究人员表示,这些衡量标准忽略了体验中诸多重要层面,比如人工智能如何影响人的思维、情绪,以及探索新想法的意愿。)”可知,当前的衡量标准忽略了体验的重要方面,比如人工智能如何影响人们的思想、情感和探索新想法的意愿。由此可推知,当前人工智能的衡量标准忽略了心理影响。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Dr Walton, the lead author of the study, explained, “People often think AI speeds up tasks or improves efficiency, but our findings show something more interesting. When people were shown AI-generated design suggestions, they spent more time on the task, produced better designs, and felt more involved. It was not just about efficiency. It was about creativity and cooperation.”(沃尔顿博士是这项研究的第一作者,他解释道: “人们通常认为人工智能只是加快工作进度、提升效率,但我们的研究发现了更有意思的现象。当人们看到人工智能给出的设计建议时,反而会在任务上投入更多时间,设计出的作品质量更高,参与感也更强。 这不仅仅关乎效率,更关乎创造力与协作。”)”和倒数第二段中Dr Walton说的话“ Participants responded most positively to galleries that included a wide variety of ideas, including bad ones. These helped them move beyond their first thoughts and explore a wider range of designs. This structured diversity prevented early fixation and encouraged creative risk-taking.(参与者对包含各式各样创意想法(甚至不成熟的想法)的设计图库反响最好。 这些多样的想法帮助他们跳出固有第一印象,探索更多设计思路。 这种结构化的多元创意能避免人们过早陷入固有思维,同时鼓励在创作中大胆尝试、勇于创新。)”可知,他认为人工智能能激发创意,提升参与感,鼓励探索。故其态度是支持的。

67. 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。
Born to Nigerian parents and holding dual US-Nigerian citizenship, I always felt a deep care for others. As a little girl, I often visited Nigeria, and those trips stayed in my heart. One cold night during a visit, the power went out — as it often did. The only light came from a weak kerosene lamp (煤油灯). I sat on the floor trying to finish my homework, but the smoke made me cough. My mother covered me with a blanket and told me to sleep, because there was no oil left. In the dark, when I listened to the wind, a small thought crossed my mind: There must be a better way to bring light to people without reliable electricity.
Years later, as a high school student, I still remembered those dark nights in Nigeria. When I went back for a family wedding, the power went out again. People used diesel generators (柴油发电机), but they were loud and gave off bad smoke. Watching children play soccer outside, I noticed that many of them later had to study by dim kerosene lamps, just like I once did. A strong desire to help filled my heart. Suddenly, an idea struck me; What if their play could create light? That was the moment when a soccer ball that stores energy was born.
At that time, I knew nothing about engineering. I was just a high school student with a kind heart and a firm dream. But I didn’t let that stop me. I read books on energy, watched online lectures, and asked my science teachers for help. I also invited my classmate Julia to join me. Together, we faced many challenges: The ball was too heavy, or it didn’t store enough energy. Sometimes we wanted to give up. But every time I thought of the children studying in the dark, I found the courage to keep going.

After months of hard work, our first soccer was finally born.

My dream didn’t stop there.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
After months of hard work, our first soccer was finally born. It looked like a normal soccer ball, but inside was a device that captured energy from kicks. To our joy, just 30minutes of play could power an LED light for three hours. When I brought the soccer to children in Nigeria, their faces lit up with excitement. They kicked the ball happily, knowing each kick would help them get light to study at night. Seeing their smiles, I felt all my hard work was worth it.
My dream didn’t stop there. After college, I started a company to improve the soccer ball and help more people without electricity. The first batch had quality problems, but I didn’t give up. I moved production to my own facilities and kept improving. Later, I invented a jump rope that stores energy — 15 minutes of jumping could power an LED light for three hours or charge a phone halfway. I even created a system, bringing the same technology to other everyday objects and turning daily activities into clean energy.
